Chapter 147 – A father’s kindness and a son’s filial piety, a father’s refusal and a son’s laughter!

On his thirtieth birthday, Zhao Buhui personally beheaded the Great Qing Emperor and "rightfully" ascended the throne, becoming the new emperor of the Great Qing Empire.

A true case of the father resigning and the son smiling!

Of course, Zhao Buhui's act of killing the Great Qing Emperor was carried out in secret.

In the entire Great Qing Empire, no one but Zhao Buhui knew about it.

So, in the eyes of others, Zhao Buhui's succession was perfectly legitimate; no one suspected him of rebellion!

The memory ended there.

After becoming emperor, Zhao Buhui never used the White Wind Sword again.

A mere Spiritual Sword was no longer worthy of the Great Qing Emperor.

As the memory concluded, Meng Fan opened his eyes.

To be honest, through these sword weapons in the Sword Pavilion, he had learned many people's secrets, secrets they believed could never be revealed.

Normally, those who know too many secrets don't meet a good end!

But perhaps he was an exception...?

Meng Fan shook his head slightly, driving these chaotic thoughts from his mind.

However, he was now more cautious, silently reminding himself to avoid exposing these secrets.

After all, history shows that those who know too many secrets often die horrible deaths.

Meng Fan drew the White Wind Sword, and a stream of the Essence of the Sword entered his body.

As expected, a tenth of the Essence of the Sword entered the Hong Qi Sword.

After placing the White Wind Sword back on the wooden rack, Meng Fan concluded his sword-cleaning session.

From the White Wind Sword, Meng Fan not only learned the secret of Zhao Buhui's patricide but also acquired a sword technique.

"Orient Loong God's Claw"

This sword technique was strong, but it didn't reach the level of the "Myriad Swords Art," and it was far inferior to "One Sword Opens the Azure Sky."

So Meng Fan wasn't particularly interested in this sword technique.

What intrigued him was another technique.

Meng Fan didn't point out this minor issue and directly began discussing the "unreasonable" points with Elder Lin.

In fact, they weren't unreasonable; Elder Lin just hadn't understood them.

But as a master, he was too embarrassed to directly ask Meng Fan, so he found an "unreasonable" excuse to discuss it with Meng Fan.

Two hours later...

Elder Lin nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Yes, this makes sense!"

Meng Fan could only smile sheepishly.

A moment later, seeing that Elder Lin had almost grasped the two techniques, Meng Fan asked, "Master, I also comprehended some of Li Fanchen's 'One Sword Opens the Azure Sky' that day. I wonder if you are interested in this technique. If you are, I would like to continue discussing and studying it with you."

Meng Fan felt grateful to Elder Lin.

So he was willing to help Elder Lin as much as he could.

"One Sword Opens the Azure Sky" was actually stronger than "Heavenly Sword" and was on par with Shu Mountain's ultimate technique "Sword God."

If his master could learn "One Sword Opens the Azure Sky," his Sword Dao cultivation would surely improve further.

To Meng Fan's surprise, Elder Lin shook his head and declined.

"One Sword Opens the Azure Sky is a supreme technique of the Ghost King Sect, not part of the Shu Mountain lineage. If I forcefully comprehend it, it might be counterproductive. Not everyone has your terrifying comprehension ability, able to master everything!"

Elder Lin openly admitted that he was not as good as his disciple.

But he was very candid about it, without any embarrassment.

In terms of Sword Dao talent, he was not just inferior to Meng Fan; the gap was as vast as the heavens and the earth!

He was genuinely not interested in "One Sword Opens the Azure Sky," not just being polite to Meng Fan.

At Elder Lin's realm, his sword techniques had long formed their own system!

"Heavenly Sword" and "Myriad Swords Art" were both part of the Shu Mountain lineage and complemented Elder Lin's techniques.

But "One Sword Opens the Azure Sky" was a supreme sword technique from a completely different system. Elder Lin didn't dare to try it lightly, as it might conflict with his own techniques, causing unforeseeable consequences.

Elder Lin was wise enough not to take that risk!

Meng Fan was lucky to have comprehended the "Primordial" Sword Dao at the Sword God Stele.

Otherwise, learning various sword techniques and following the path of Myriad Swords Returning to me would have led him to madness sooner or later!

Elder Lin didn't know about Meng Fan's situation and advised him, "Disciple, you must also be cautious. Although your Sword Dao talent is unparalleled, you must be careful. If you sense any risk, abandon it immediately!"
