Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 142 – Sword Saint, you dare say that!

The Greatest Under Heaven!

These five words carry immense weight.

Because it requires suppressing and crushing everyone of the same generation to be worthy of this title.

For example, in today's world, no one dares to call themselves the Greatest Under Heaven.

No one has the qualifications to be reversed by others like the Greatest Under Heaven, not even Lin Jinghong, the Sect Master of Shu Mountain, can convince everyone.

In this era, no one yields to another; a hundred flowers bloom!

However, Meng Fan believes that in a few decades, the Greatest Under Heaven will emerge.

Among the blooming flowers, one will surely outshine the rest.

When my flower blooms, all others will be wither!

Meng Fan believes that the title of the Greatest Under Heaven will eventually belong to him, without a doubt.

But for now, he is still a novice and cannot afford to be arrogant.

Quiet cultivation is the true path!

"Master, although Li Fanchen failed to draw the sword and is not a match for the Sect Master, he probably won't give up, right?"

In Meng Fan's view, the Sect Master of Shu Mountain and the entire Shu Mountain Sword Sect are too rigid.

If he were the Sect Master, since Li Fanchen dared to provoke and is a potentially endless threat, he would have killed Li Fanchen on the spot, not letting him leave Shu Mountain!

Of course, perhaps Meng Fan is young and not in a high position, so his thoughts are simpler and more straightforward.

Elder Lin's thinking aligns with the Sect Master's; he never considered letting Li Fanchen die on Shu Mountain.

"Since Li Fanchen is not a match for the Sect Master, he cannot obtain the Blood Soul Sword. So what if he doesn't give up?"

Hearing Elder Lin's words, Meng Fan sobbed inwardly.

At the same time, he reflected on why his thoughts were so out of sync with others.

Could it be that he wasn't righteous enough?

Meng Fan thought carefully and realized that his thoughts might indeed not be righteous enough.

After all, he had time-traveled halfway and wasn't always nurtured by the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, nor was he indoctrinated with their righteous ideology.

To Earthlings, many thoughts placed in this world might indeed seem unrighteous, even somewhat... evil.

This is a cultural clash, a societal difference, and Meng Fan doesn't see it as a matter of right or wrong.

"Alright, stop overthinking. Matters at this level have little to do with us; it's not our place to worry."

Elder Lin patted Meng Fan's shoulder and continued, "The fight is over, now you should earnestly comprehend the Sword God Stele. Stay focused!"

Meng Fan nodded; he should indeed leave quickly, or it would be troublesome if discovered.

Before leaving, Meng Fan couldn't help but glance at the Demon Locking Sword.

He couldn't help but fantasize about the day he could wield the unsealed Demon Locking Sword; how invincible would that scene be?

Unfortunately, it's too far-fetched!

Even Lin Jinghong, the Sect Master of Shu Mountain, doesn't have the ability to unseal the Demon Locking Sword.

So the Demon Locking Sword can only gather dust here.

And Elder Lin, as the Sword Guardian Elder, accompanies it in gathering dust.

In theory, Elder Lin, as the Sword Guardian Elder, is qualified to use the Demon Locking Sword.

But a completely sealed Demon Locking Sword is less powerful than a Law Sword.

So even though Elder Lin is nominally allowed to use the Demon Locking Sword, it doesn't mean much.

Moments later, Meng Fan and Elder Lin left the Demon Locking Tower and appeared in the Sword God Temple.

Meng Fan looked at the Sword God Stele in the center of the temple, his heartbeat quickening slightly, and he tried to calm himself down.

This time, he planned to comprehend the Sword God Stele for ten days and nights in one go.

The thought made him a bit excited!

Elder Lin went to negotiate with the grey-clothed elder of the Sword God Temple; ten days and nights was no small amount of time.

Moments later, Elder Lin returned and said to Meng Fan, "Alright, this time you can comprehend for ten days and nights. You know well that this is no small cost, so make the most of it and don't disappoint your master!"

Though he said this, Elder Lin actually had great faith in Meng Fan, knowing he would not be disappointed.

The cost was indeed high, but absolutely worth it!

"Master, rest assured, I will not disappoint you," Meng Fan said earnestly.

Elder Lin nodded, patted Meng Fan's shoulder again, and smiled, "Go on!"

Meng Fan bowed to Elder Lin and then walked towards the Sword God Stele.

As for the grey-clothed elder, he watched Meng Fan with great interest.

He had a deep impression of this young man.

In all his years at the Sword God Temple, he had seen countless disciples of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect come to comprehend the Sword God Stele.

But someone like Meng Fan, who comprehended for a whole day and night in one go, was a first.

In all these years, only Meng Fan!

And this time, he was even more surprised.

This young man was going to comprehend for ten days and nights?

The grey-clothed elder, who had seen much of the world, knew Elder Lin. Though not very close, they had some understanding of each other.

He knew that with Elder Lin's character, he wouldn't let this young man comprehend the Sword God Stele for ten days and nights without reason.

The only possibility was that this young man had gained significant insights from the Sword God Stele.

And these insights could sustain him for ten days and nights!

This was quite extraordinary.

Especially since the grey-clothed elder, as the guardian of the Sword God Temple, understood the significance of the Sword God Stele.

He couldn't speak for too long ago, but at least in the past hundred years, no one had been able to comprehend the Sword God Stele for such a long time.

His intuition told him that this young man, who was only at the first level of the Tianyuan Realm, might become a pillar of Shu Mountain in the future!

Meng Fan approached the Sword God Stele, sat cross-legged, and placed both hands on it, beginning his comprehension.

At this moment, the grey-clothed elder silently came to Elder Lin's side.

He asked in a somewhat complex tone, "Is this young man really not just putting on a show?"

Comprehending the Sword God Stele for ten days and nights in one go, if he truly had insights throughout, how profound would his sword technique foundation be?

Elder Lin smiled and said, "Hu Qingshi, everyone in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect knows that I, Lin Bianyun, am famously stingy. Do you think I would waste thousands of Spirit Stones on this young man for nothing?"

The grey-clothed elder named Hu Qingshi showed a trace of envy, "I originally thought you had found a gem, but now it seems it's not just a gem, it's an immortal stone!"

Elder Lin smiled, his expression extremely proud.

At his age, he no longer compared himself to others.

Whether stronger or weaker, it didn't matter much.

But if the disciple he nurtured was excellent, that was a source of great pride!

Elder Lin boasted, "Just wait and see, in at most a hundred years, Shu Mountain will have another Sword Saint."

Hu Qingshi rolled his eyes.

"You old fellow, a few compliments and you're already boasting. I won't deny that this young man is extremely talented, but to call him a Sword Saint, you really dare to say it!"
