Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 32 – Second floor of Sword Pavilion, Elder Lin

To the second floor?

Upon hearing Senior Disciple Luo's words, ng Fan turned around abruptly, a look of surprise on his face as he gazed at Senior Disciple Luo.

The second floor of the Sword Pavilion was a place he had long yearned for, yet he had never mustered the courage to set foot there.

Moreover, he felt that being new to the sect, he wasn't qualified to ascend to the second floor.

He had been waiting for Senior Disciple Luo to take the initiative to bring him up there, and now the mont had finally arrived.

"What are we going to do on the second floor?" ng Fan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Senior Disciple Luo had never ntioned taking him to the second floor before, so what was the reason this ti? And what were they going to do there?

Senior Disciple Luo said, "It's ti to introduce you to Elder Lin. Given that you could withstand the malevolent aura of the Spiritual Sword, I'm sure Elder Lin would be quite interested in you."

Hearing this, a hint of anticipation appeared on ng Fan's face.

He had heard about the mysterious Elder Lin many tis from Senior Disciple Luo.

To be honest, he was really curious about what kind of person Elder Lin was.

ng Fan spoke with a hint of caution, "Elder Lin hasn't ntioned wanting to see . Wouldn't it be presumptuous to et him so directly?"

Seeing ng Fan's nervous look, Senior Disciple Luo couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't worry, Elder Lin is very good-natured and extrely amiable," he said casually.

ng Fan nodded and stopped overthinking it.

"There's still an hour left before the Sword Pavilion closes. I'll take you to see Elder Lin after it closes. You've just been struck by the malevolent aura of the Demon Sword; go rest for a bit," Senior Disciple Luo said considerately.

ng Fan didn't try to act tough and returned to his room to ditate and recuperate.

At the sa ti, he practiced the newly learned "Seven Absolute Demon Swords" in his mind.

The Seven Absolute Demon Swords were even more powerful than ng Fan had imagined!

All the sword techniques he had encountered before paled in comparison to this one.

Even the formidable "Supre Heartless Sword" or "Mountain Splitting Sword" were far inferior to the "Seven Absolute Demon Swords."

ng Fan even had a feeling that the Seven Absolute Demon Swords were touching upon the essence of the Sword Spirit.

Sword Spirit, Sword Soul - these were high-level sword techniques related to the level of the Primordial Spirit.

However, the Seven Absolute Demon Swords were sowhat deviant.

They had fallen into the path of demons!

Seven Absolute Demon Swords, Demon Swords - these were sword techniques belonging to the demonic path.

But ng Fan didn't shy away from them. The demonic path was also a path, and he felt he could study it.

After all, the Primordial Dao encompasses everything and does not exclude the demonic path!

However, as ng Fan practiced the Seven Absolute Demon Swords in his mind, he still felt sothing was off.

The Seven Absolute Demon Swords were indeed terrifying, with imnse power.

But using them would plunge one into a "demonic" state, with an uncontrollable surge of killing intent.

It was very likely to harm the innocent!

Even just practicing the technique in his mind, without actually using it, ng Fan could feel his mind filled with endless killing intent, wanting to destroy everything around him.

"Worthy of being called Demon Swords!" ng Fan stopped practicing in his mind and opened his eyes.

His eyes were tinged red, still swirling with killing intent.

"No wonder the Sword Demon of the Ghost Shadow Demon Sect is rumored to be terrifying and indiscriminate in killing. Cultivating this sword technique to the extre, it's very likely he's gone mad and truly beco a demon."

"But the power of this sword technique is indeed strong!"

ng Fan shook his head, no longer dwelling on these thoughts.

After an hour of recuperation, he felt much better, and the stabbing pain in his mind had subsided.

When it was ti for the Sword Pavilion to close, Senior Disciple Luo ca to ng Fan's room and said, "Junior Disciple ng, let's go. I'll take you to et Elder Lin."

ng Fan hurriedly left his room, feeling a little excited.

He followed behind Senior Disciple Luo and stepped onto the staircase leading to the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.

He had seen these stairs every day but had never set foot on them.

Soon, ng Fan reached the second floor of the Sword Pavilion.

The space on the second floor was slightly smaller than on the first, but not by much.

Like the first floor, the second floor also had rows of wooden racks with swords on each rack.

However, all the swords on the second floor were Spiritual Swords.

Although there were also Spiritual Swords on the first floor, they were rare, whereas the second floor didn't have a single Ordinary Sword.

ng Fan looked at the dazzling array of Spiritual Swords and was sowhat shocked.

If he could absorb all the Sword Wraiths from these swords, how much foundation would he accumulate?

And if he could also absorb the Essence of the Sword from each one, what realm could he reach?

Most importantly, there were still the third, fourth, and fifth floors of the Sword Pavilion!!!

Thinking of this, ng Fan's heart grew hot with anticipation.

Without a doubt, the Sword Pavilion was truly a Fortunate Place for him!

In the southern corner of the second floor of the Sword Pavilion, an old man sat on a ditation cushion, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

This was a true elder, unlike Senior Disciple Luo who was not.

"Elder Lin, this is the new Guarding Sword Disciple of the Sword Pavilion. He has perford exceptionally well since his arrival, so I brought him to et you," Senior Disciple Luo said as he approached Elder Lin and gave a respectful bow.

ng Fan quickly followed suit, bowing and discreetly sizing up the old man.

The Sword Pavilion's esteed status was largely due to the presence of this elder.

Clearly, this elder was a formidable being.

Elder Lin slowly opened his eyes, and in the mont he did, ng Fan thought he saw a sword.

Or rather, it seed as if Elder Lin had transford into a sword.

The human form gave ng Fan the impression of a sharp blade!

【Unity of Man and Sword】

This thought popped into ng Fan's mind.

If it were the ng Fan from before he comprehended the Sword God Stele, he wouldn't have been able to discern this at all, not even with the talent of Sword Dao Transcendence.

Because Sword Dao Transcendence was just an extraordinary talent, it didn't increase ng Fan's experience.

But comprehending the Sword God Stele had given ng Fan much more "experience" on the path of the sword!

Unity of Man and Sword was not a realm but a state.

Many people practice the sword all their lives, even reaching extrely profound realms, yet they cannot enter this state.

Without a doubt, Elder Lin was strong!

ng Fan imdiately felt a deep respect for this unfamiliar Elder Lin.

People naturally respect the strong.

Elder Lin glanced at ng Fan and smiled.

"You're quite good."

His tone was kind, and his eyes showed satisfaction as he looked at ng Fan.

Clearly, although ng Fan had not t him during this ti, Elder Lin had certainly been paying attention to him.

Hearing Elder Lin's first words of praise, Senior Disciple Luo couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. He had been in the Sword Pavilion for many years and had never received such praise from Elder Lin.

Not only had he not received praise, but he often saw a hint of disappointnt in Elder Lin's eyes.

He, as a Nad Disciple, indeed could not satisfy Elder Lin.

"I've t Elder Lin. I am the new Guarding Sword Disciple of the Sword Pavilion, ng Fan," ng Fan introduced himself again.

Elder Lin nodded, indicating that he rembered the na.

Then he scrutinized ng Fan carefully for a mont.

"What is your wish?" After a mont, Elder Lin asked ng Fan.

ng Fan was a bit stunned; he hadn't expected Elder Lin's first question to be so enigmatic.

It reminded him of a variety show he had seen on Earth in his previous life.

Those ntors would ask the contestants, "What is your dream?"

Wishes and dreams seed to have no difference, right?

Why did it feel like he was about to be enticed with grand promises?

...

After a mont, ng Fan looked at Elder Lin sowhat awkwardly, unable to co up with an answer.

"Uh, Elder Lin, I haven't thought of any wishes for myself yet."

Elder Lin chuckled, stood up, and patted ng Fan's shoulder.

"No rush, take your ti. There's plenty of it."

ng Fan was truly baffled; Elder Lin seed a bit odd.

At least communicating with Elder Lin was sowhat awkward.

To be frank, if ng Fan's and Elder Lin's roles were reversed, ng Fan would definitely slap Elder Lin in the face and spit out three words: "Speak human language!"

Unfortunately, that was just wishful thinking.

The reality was that ng Fan obediently said to Elder Lin, "Disciple is dull and did not understand Elder Lin's aning."

Elder Lin first glanced at Senior Disciple Luo, then looked back at ng Fan.

"I've always wanted to take a direct disciple. I considered Xiao Luo before, but he's disappointing, far from eting the mark."

Elder Lin said to ng Fan, "Actually, from the first day you entered the Sword Pavilion, I've been watching you. At first, I was disappointed, thinking you were even worse than Xiao Luo. But during this ti, you've given quite a few surprises!"

ng Fan's heart stirred slightly. Could it be that Elder Lin wanted to take him as a direct disciple?

That would be a teoric rise!

nial Disciple, Outer Sect Disciple, Inner Sect Disciple, and the Sect Master's direct disciple were the levels of disciples in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Although ng Fan didn't know who Elder Lin was, since Elder Lin presided over the Sword Pavilion, his status couldn't be much lower than the Sect Master's.

Becoming Elder Lin's direct disciple would definitely elevate his status above that of an Inner Sect Disciple!

"Master above, please accept your disciple's bow." ng Fan, as a ti traveler and a modern person, naturally had a thick skin.

As soon as Elder Lin showed a hint of this intention, he climbed up the ladder and knelt in front of Elder Lin to kowtow.

"You're quite clever, but I haven't finished speaking yet," Elder Lin said with a smile.

"Master, please instruct !" ng Fan said earnestly.

Senior Disciple Luo, standing to the side, watched ng Fan in stunned silence.

Having spent so much ti with ng Fan, he had never realized that ng Fan could be so shaless.

He had previously thought this kid was quite honest, a real honest person.

Now it seed he had been mistaken.

Indeed, whether male or female, those who are good-looking tend to have a bit of a dirty heart!

At the sa ti, Senior Disciple Luo felt a bit envious of ng Fan. If he had been as shaless in the beginning, perhaps it wouldn't have been impossible for him to beco Elder Lin's direct disciple.

What a pity, he was the real honest person!

Elder Lin looked at ng Fan, and although his eyes showed satisfaction, he said sternly, "To beco my disciple, you must pass an assessnt!"
