Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 118 – Sword Wraith Memory, Elder Wang in his youth

For ng Fan, once he stepped into the Heavenly Origin Realm, his Divine Sense would naturally form.

Thanks to his practice of Fu Xi's visualization techniques, his ntal strength had long reached the level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

If it weren't for the barrier of his current realm, he would have already cultivated his Divine Sense by now!

Therefore, when others reached the Heavenly Origin Realm, they might need to spend a large amount of Spirit Stones to buy a Heavenly Spirit Pill in hopes of cultivating their Divine Sense.

ng Fan could save that expense.

Once he cultivated his Divine Sense, he could strive to go further and cultivate his Divine Soul.

With a Divine Soul, ng Fan could take his Sword Technique to the next summit.

Then, many of his Sword Techniques could be elevated from Sword Montum to the level of Sword Soul!

His future was a broad and smooth path.

In the following days, ng Fan spent all his ti in the Sword Pavilion.

Apart from occasionally wiping his saber, he devoted the rest of his ti to arduous cultivation.

One night, after depleting the Essence of the Sword within him, ng Fan left his room to continue polishing his saber.

Cultivating the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture and the Spirit Wind Profound Art could rely on the petals of the lotus flower, but the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood required the Essence of the Sword.

For ng Fan, it was essential that the Essence of the Sword within him never ran out; he would replenish it as soon as it was depleted.

Sotis ng Fan couldn't help but wonder, if he absorbed the Essence of the Sword from all the Sword Weapons in the Sword Pavilion, where would he go when the ti ca?

By then, he would probably have to leave the Shu Mountain Sword Sect to seek other Sword Weapons.

After all, for him, the Essence of the Sword was sothing he couldn't stop!

However, ng Fan didn't need to worry about this for the ti being, as at his current pace, the Essence of the Sword in so many sabers in the Sword Pavilion would be enough to last him for several years.

On the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, ng Fan casually picked a saber and began to absorb its Essence of the Sword.

[Sword Na: Compassionate Heart]

...

This was a Spiritual Sword, and when ng Fan touched it, a Sword Wraith surged into his body.

Then, he closed his eyes, and a mory appeared in his mind.

A young woman, twenty-eight years of age, was gracefully dancing with the Compassionate Heart Sword in hand.

She was dancing with the sword, not practicing Sword Technique!

She was a courtesan from a high-class brothel, skilled in the arts but not selling her body.

Courtesans from such establishnts were often masters of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, though most excelled in only one.

A single skill could make one renowned everywhere!

This girl, nad Lian'er, had a unique talent for sword dancing, which was extrely beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Many talented n and won visited the brothel just to witness Lian'er's sword dance.

But n, especially those who frequented brothels, what true gentlen could they be?

No matter how refined they appeared on the surface, they couldn't hide their lecherous nature.

Once, a man, drunk, tried to force Lian'er to sell both her art and her body!

Naturally, Lian'er resisted desperately, vowing to never submit.

She didn't die, but the drunken man was stabbed to death by Lian'er's sword.

Although at that ti the Compassionate Heart Sword was just a blunt, unsharpened sword ant for dancing,

Even an unsharpened sword has a sowhat sharp tip.

In a burst of potential, Lian'er managed to thrust the Compassionate Heart Sword into the man's heart, killing him on the spot!

Then, taking advantage of the fact that no one had discovered the incident, she disguised herself and secretly fled the brothel.

Next, she was chased by the brothel's enforcers, determined to capture her and bring her back.

Lian'er, with no experience in fleeing, was quickly caught up by the brothel's enforcers.

Carrying only a blunt, unsharpened sword and with so foundation in sword dancing, how could she possibly stand against those enforcers?

At the critical mont, a clichéd plot unfolded as expected.

A hero ca to the rescue!

The person who saved her happened to be a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

ng Fan looked closely and was sowhat surprised.

Although this Shu Mountain disciple was very young, he bore a striking resemblance to Elder Wang of the Scripture Pavilion.

It was almost certain that he was Elder Wang in his younger days!

It was common for young Shu Mountain disciples to venture out for experience and wander the world.

Heroic rescues, though clichéd, were not uncommon; in fact, they happened quite frequently!

Let's be honest, those Shu Mountain disciples out on adventures, especially the male disciples, how could they not help a beauty in distress?

On the contrary, if it were a man in trouble, they might not bother to intervene!

The following plot progressed naturally, with Lian'er falling for the young Elder Wang at first sight.

How does the saying go?

Saved by an ugly man, she would say she owes a great debt of gratitude and vow to repay it in the next life as a cow or horse...

Saved by a handso man, she would say she's eternally grateful and willing to offer herself in return...

Elder Wang's youthful looks were already a tenth as handso as ng Fan, a true and dashing young gentleman.

It was only natural for Lian'er to offer herself to him.

And as the saying goes, even heroes find it hard to resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Thus, Elder Wang fell into the tender trap and did not return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect for a long ti, living with Lian'er in the secular world.

They secluded themselves in a small mountain village, working from dawn till dusk, living a blissful life.

Before long, Lian'er beca pregnant.

Elder Wang was overjoyed and decided not to return to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, choosing instead to live an ordinary life with Lian'er.

However, six months into Lian'er's pregnancy, Elder Wang went hunting in the mountains, hoping to catch a wild chicken to nourish her.

That very day!

A group of black-clothed people stord into the village, slaughtering dozens of people, each with their hearts gouged out.

Lian'er, six months pregnant, was no exception!

When Elder Wang returned and saw the corpses throughout the village, he was filled with shock and rage.

Especially when he ca ho and saw Lian'er's body lying on the ground, his soul seed to be ripped away.

He held Lian'er's body and wept until his voice was hoarse and he could no longer make a sound.

The next day, Elder Wang buried everyone in the village, including Lian'er.

ng Fan's emotions were complex as he witnessed this scene in the mory.

He truly had not expected that the amiable Elder Wang had such a tragic past.

After the funeral, Elder Wang left the village with Lian'er's Compassionate Heart Sword.

He swore to avenge Lian'er with her own Compassionate Heart Sword!

Day after day, year after year, Elder Wang despaired.

He didn't even know who the murderer was, let alone have any leads to investigate for revenge.

Years later, a disheartened Elder Wang returned to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

The Compassionate Heart Sword beca Elder Wang's personal saber.

In Elder Wang's hands, this ordinary sword was gradually tempered into a Spiritual Sword.

Many years passed, and Elder Wang gave up the sword for the pen, sealing the Compassionate Heart Sword in the Sword Pavilion and taking his place in the Scripture Pavilion.

He felt that as long as he couldn't avenge Lian'er, he didn't deserve to touch the Compassionate Heart Sword again.
