Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion Chapter 412 – Demon Locking Sword, the number one sword of S

ng Fan knew from the very first day he arrived at Shu Mountain that the Demon Locking Tower was a forbidden area of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect.

Later, after becoming a disciple of Elder Lin, he had the fortune to enter the Demon Locking Tower once.

But even to this day, the Demon Locking Tower remained a mystery in ng Fan's mind.

Ordinary disciples were not qualified to enter the Demon Locking Tower, and even the elders of Shu Mountain rarely ventured inside.

Forbidden!

Dangerous!

Terrifying!

These were ng Fan's impressions of the Demon Locking Tower.

"Master, is the Demon Locking Tower the target of the Monster Realm? What exactly does the Monster Realm want?" ng Fan asked curiously.

In fact, at this point, half of his doubts had already been resolved.

First, he knew that the Monster Realm was behind this, and the Sect Master and Elder Yang were not in any imdiate danger in the Monster Realm.

With the Sect Master's strength, even if he couldn't walk freely in the Monster Realm, he could at least escape from any situation.

If he couldn't win, he could always run!

Of course, this was just ng Fan's cautious thinking; perhaps the Sect Master was wreaking havoc in the Monster Realm?

With half of his doubts resolved, it was enough for ng Fan.

However, he couldn't help but be curious about the other half.

Why did the Monster Realm value the Demon Locking Tower so much? What role could a tower in the Human Realm play that made the Monster Realm willing to pay such a high price?

"The Demon Locking Tower actually suppresses the passage connecting the Monster Realm to the Human Realm," Elder Lin continued to explain.

"The Monster Realm trapped the Sect Master there to force him to open the Demon Locking Tower.

Because only by opening the Demon Locking Tower can the Sect Master return to the Human Realm!

And the Monster Realm can seize this opportunity to invade the Human Realm."

Hearing this explanation, ng Fan's confusion deepened. He rembered that the Sect Master was at Qingtian Lake when he was transported to the Monster Realm.

"Master, if the Monster Realm can transport Elder Yang and the Sect Master to the Monster Realm from Qingtian Lake, can't they use the sa formation to transport themselves to the Human Realm?"

In general, aren't teleportations supposed to be reciprocal?

If the Sect Master can descend from the Human Realm to the Monster Realm, then the people of the Monster Realm should also be able to descend to the Human Realm.

Elder Lin shook his head and said, "The Monster Realm and the Human Realm are different. The Human Realm is the most unique among the Six Realms, as it can connect to the other realms.

But it is extrely difficult for the other realms to co to the Human Realm.

For example, the Immortal Realm. You've heard of cultivators ascending to beco immortals, but rarely of immortals descending to the Human Realm.

The sa goes for the Monster Realm. The only passage that allows the Monster Realm to enter the Human Realm en masse is suppressed under the Demon Locking Tower of Shu Mountain!"

Hearing Elder Lin's words, ng Fan nodded. Although he couldn't fully grasp the profound mysteries, he at least understood this fact.

"The world knows that the mission of our Shu Mountain Sword Sect is to slay demons and exterminate evil. But in fact, the most important task of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect is to guard the Demon Locking Tower!"

Elder Lin's face showed a trace of seriousness, and his tone carried a hint of dread as he said, "If one day the Demon Locking Tower collapses, it would not only be a disaster for the Shu Mountain Sword Sect but for the entire Human Realm!"

ng Fan nodded at these words but said nothing.

Although the words were shocking, they felt too distant for him to resonate with or feel involved.

Elder Lin, being a shrewd person, naturally saw ng Fan's attitude. He said seriously, "I know you think your cultivation level is too low, that such matters have nothing to do with you, and that you can't bear this responsibility.

But in fact, that's not true!

Among the younger generation of Shu Mountain, although there are disciples stronger than you, none have talent surpassing yours.

In a few hundred years, you will undoubtedly be the best among them.

By then, I will be old, and so will the Sect Master and the others. These heavy responsibilities will fall on your shoulders!"

ng Fan didn't doubt Elder Lin's words.

To be honest, in a few hundred years, he really didn't think any of his peers in the Shu Mountain Sword Sect could keep up with him.

After all, he had a cheat!

"Master, you can rest assured. When that day cos, as long as I have the strength, I will definitely protect the Shu Mountain Sword Sect and the Demon Locking Tower!" ng Fan said seriously.

To be honest, the Shu Mountain Sword Sect had treated him well.

Especially Elder Lin, who treated him with great kindness. When he beca stronger in the future, he would naturally do his best to protect Shu Mountain without needing anyone to tell him.

After all, he had ti-traveled to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect; it was his ho!

Elder Lin patted ng Fan's shoulder and sighed, "This is no joke. The future of Shu Mountain will most likely rest on your shoulders. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you so much.

The Demon Locking Tower is of utmost importance!

So even if the Sect Master is in the Monster Realm and can't return to the Human Realm, he won't easily open the Demon Locking Tower and give the Monster Realm an opportunity.

Most likely, the Sect Master and Elder Yang will stay in the Monster Realm for a long ti."

Hearing Elder Lin's words, ng Fan furrowed his brows, feeling a bit worried.

"Without the Sect Master, won't the Shu Mountain Sword Sect be like losing an arm? If our enemies find out, won't there be..."

Elder Lin shook his head and said, "So you must keep this information confidential. Besides a few elders, only you know about this."

"Master, rest assured, I won't reveal a word!" ng Fan said seriously.

Seeing ng Fan's tense expression, Elder Lin smiled and said, "You don't need to be too nervous. Even without the Sect Master, your master is not to be trifled with.

If anyone dares to co to Shu Mountain Sword Sect looking for trouble, it's pure suicide.

Anyone the Sect Master can slay, your master can slay too!"

These words instantly elevated Elder Lin's image in ng Fan's mind, almost to the sa level as the Sect Master!

"Master, how big is the gap between you and the Sect Master?" ng Fan couldn't help but ask this sowhat offensive question.

Elder Lin stroked his beard, then stretched out his thumb and index finger, saying with a smile, "Not much, just about this much."

ng Fan estimated the distance, roughly 18 centiters.

"This gap seems quite large." ng Fan smiled wryly. If Elder Lin had asured a gap of one or two centiters, he could boast about it.

But 18 centiters, that's too much to boast about!

Elder Lin smiled, his face suddenly showing confidence, and a sword appeared in his hand.

"Do you rember this sword?"

Hearing this, ng Fan looked at the sword in Elder Lin's hand.

"Of course, the Demon Locking Sword!"

This was the first ti ng Fan had co into contact with an immortal weapon. Just touching the sealed Demon Locking Sword had given him a great advantage, granting him much of the Essence of the Sword.

"That's right, the Demon Locking Sword, the number one sword of Shu Mountain!"
