Chapter 201 – Elder Lin’s son

Chapter 201 – Elder Lin’s son

The foundation of the Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion was far stronger than Meng Fan had imagined.

As for the responsibilities and pressures Elder Lin mentioned, Meng Fan couldn't feel them for now.

Because it wasn't yet time for him to shoulder those responsibilities, and he didn't have the capability either.

If the sky fell, Elder Lin would hold it up!

However, Meng Fan was confident that when the time came for him to take on those responsibilities, he would have the ability to do so.

After all, he was a cheat!

He had that much confidence.

At this moment, knowing that the Sword Pavilion housed so many divine and immortal swords, Meng Fan felt nothing but joy.

The Essence of the Sword he needed in the future was now within reach!

The Essence of the Sword from a single divine sword was worth a thousand spiritual swords.

As for immortal swords, they were even more extraordinary.

Meng Fan had once absorbed the Essence of the Sword from the Demon Locking Sword, but that was a sealed sword. Compared to a true immortal sword, it was worlds apart.

If one day Meng Fan could come into contact with a true immortal sword, the Essence of the Sword he would obtain would be equivalent to at least ten thousand spiritual swords.

But that was too far off!

To draw an immortal sword, he would need at least the strength of the Sect Master, if not Elder Lin's strength.

When Meng Fan returned to the first floor of the Sword Pavilion, his mind was still on those divine and immortal swords on the fifth floor.

He hadn't even touched those swords.

It wasn't that Elder Lin wouldn't let him; he simply didn't dare.

Touching them would most likely result in death!

Even with Elder Lin's protection, there was still a risk of death.

"I need to work hard on my cultivation, strive to be able to handle those divine and immortal swords as soon as possible. No, I don't need to handle them, just being able to touch them would be enough!" Meng Fan muttered to himself in his room.

Full of motivation, he began his cultivation.

He was currently at the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm, which was roughly equivalent to the Condensation Pill Realm.

"I need to reach the Condensation Pill Realm as soon as possible!"

Meng Fan set a goal for himself.

In fact, Meng Fan was too greedy. Otherwise, he might already be at the seventh or eighth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

Because he was simultaneously cultivating the Spirit Wind Profound Art, the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture, and the True Scripture of Scarlet Blood.

If he focused on cultivating just one technique, like the Pure Yang Thunder Cultivation Scripture, he would be far beyond the fifth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm by now.

After all, cultivating three techniques meant splitting his resources into three parts, naturally slowing down his progress.

The Shu Mountain Sword Pavilion collected famous swords from all over the world, so encountering these swords was not surprising. In fact, Meng Fan had come to see it as quite normal.

***

The Sword Wraith Memory showed a young boy practicing swordsmanship day after day.

The boy had excellent aptitude, entering the Qi Cultivation Realm at thirteen, the True Martial Realm at eighteen, and the Heavenly Origin Realm at twenty-five.

He was a disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, named Lin Tianxing.

From childhood to adulthood, he had practiced swordsmanship within Shu Mountain and had never left.

When he had just reached the Heavenly Origin Realm at the age of twenty-five, his father called him over.

***

When Meng Fan saw Lin Tianxing's father, his heart pounded, and he was shocked.

Because he recognized Lin Tianxing's father.

Not only that, but he was also extremely familiar with him!

Lin Tianxing's father was named Lin Bianyun.

Elder Lin!!!!

"Elder Lin actually has a son, why has he never mentioned it?" Meng Fan was shocked and a bit dumbfounded.

Since Elder Lin had a son, where was he now?

Why had Meng Fan never seen him?

Moreover, if Elder Lin had a child, what about his wife?

Meng Fan had never seen any of Elder Lin's relatives and had always thought Elder Lin was a solitary old man.

Given Elder Lin's age, if he had a wife and child, he should be enjoying family life with them.

Meng Fan continued to watch the Sword Wraith Memory, feeling a vague sense of foreboding.

The Sword Wraith Memory was fragmented, only showing some scattered memories of sword practice, not a person's entire life.

So it wasn't until Lin Tianxing was twenty-five that Meng Fan "coincidentally" saw Elder Lin in the memory.

***

"Father, did you call for me?" Lin Tianxing asked Elder Lin in the memory.

Elder Lin looked at Lin Tianxing with a complex expression and asked, "Xiaoxing, are you hiding something from me?"

"Father, you know?" Lin Tianxing's expression changed, showing some nervousness, but it quickly turned into determination.

"Of course, I know. Are you crazy? You want to sneak into the Fengyun Demon Sect?" Elder Lin's tone was filled with anger and shock.

Lin Tianxing looked at his father, his expression calm, especially his eyes filled with determination and resolve.

"Father, you've never told me how Mother died, but do you think that just because you don't say, I wouldn't know?"
