Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion
Chapter 331 – Demon Realm script? Underworld script?

Chapter 331 – Demon Realm script? Underworld script?

Meng Fan ignored the old monk and continued to inventory the treasures in the storage ring.

Although Zhang Hongfei was an elder of the Fengyun Demon Sect and a powerhouse close to the Primordial Spirit Realm, Meng Fan had seen plenty of treasures before and had developed a discerning eye.

Many ordinary "treasures" no longer caught his interest. He merely counted them casually and tossed them back into the ring for future use.

Moments later, a hint of surprise appeared on Meng Fan's face.

He had unexpectedly found a Heavenly Grade Sword Technique among a pile of miscellaneous items in the storage space.

Zhang Hongfei practiced blade techniques, so he didn't value sword techniques highly.

Even though it was a Heavenly Grade Sword Technique, he had casually thrown it into the storage ring.

But when Meng Fan got his hands on this sword technique, he treated it like a precious treasure.

Even with Meng Fan's extensive knowledge, he only possessed four Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques.

"Myriad Swords Art"

"Heavenly Sword"

"Free Wanderer's Godly Sword"

"One Sword Opens the Azure Sky"

To unexpectedly obtain a fifth Heavenly Grade Sword Technique, Meng Fan was quite pleased.

The Heavenly Grade Sword Technique in the storage ring was called "Lightning Sword Technique."

The name sounded rather ordinary, almost like an entry-level sword technique, lacking any grandeur.

However, as Meng Fan read through it, the joy on his face grew more evident.

This Lightning Sword Technique was different from the Thunderous Sword Technique. It didn't pursue the power of lightning but rather the speed of lightning.

In short, this sword technique might not be the most powerful in terms of destructive force among Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques.

But in terms of speed, it was definitely among the top.

Meng Fan didn't lack sword techniques with strong attack power; speed was what he needed more!

Mastering this sword technique would not only elevate the attack speed of his sword techniques but also significantly enhance his speed in sword flight.

"Great sword technique!" Meng Fan's face showed satisfaction.

Thanks to the existence of Sword Dao Transcendence, he only needed to read through the sword technique once and ponder a bit to cultivate it to the level of Sword Intent.

One had to admit, the "cheat" of Sword Dao Transcendence was still incredibly useful!

Meng Fan raised his hand and casually slashed out a streak of Sword Qi.

Instantly, a crack appeared on the roof, and the Sword Qi shot skyward.

From the moment he slashed out the Sword Qi to the appearance of the crack on the roof, it seemed almost seamless, as if time had been skipped.

"This... it's almost like teleportation. If I were to ambush someone, they wouldn't have time to react." Meng Fan smiled.

The effect of this sword technique was even better than he had anticipated!

"If I could integrate it into Myriad Swords As One, it would elevate the power of that technique to another level." Meng Fan was filled with anticipation.

But this couldn't be rushed. Out of the five Heavenly Grade Sword Techniques, he had only integrated two into Myriad Swords As One, and it had taken a lot of Spirit Stones and the help of the Sword God Stele to achieve that.

On the other hand, Meng Fan now had a considerable amount of wealth. If he returned to the Shu Mountain Sword Sect to comprehend the Sword God Stele, these Spirit Stones would indeed be enough for him to integrate a third Heavenly Grade Sword Technique into Myriad Swords As One.

However, Meng Fan wasn't planning to return to Shu Mountain just yet!

Since he had already left, he couldn't just go back without accomplishing anything.

The matter of finding Elder Lin at the Fengyun Demon Sect would have to wait. He had just killed a leader of the Fengyun Demon Sect, so going there now would be too risky.

Aside from finding Elder Lin, there was another matter he needed to attend to on this trip.

And that was Li Xuerou, that young lady!

She had been in seclusion for so long, and then she left Shu Mountain without a word. Who knew what she was up to?

Since the Fengyun Demon Sect was off-limits for now, Meng Fan decided to look for Li Xuerou first.

Once he found Li Xuerou, the commotion over Zhang Hongfei's death at the Fengyun Demon Sect should have settled.

Then, he could go to the Fengyun Demon Sect to see if there was any news about Elder Lin.

After sorting through Zhang Hongfei's storage ring, Meng Fan didn't find anything else of particular interest.

The only other noteworthy item was a map.

The map was drawn in a strange manner, and Meng Fan couldn't tell where it depicted. Most importantly, the text on it wasn't in the commonly used language of the Cultivation World, so he couldn't read it.

"Old monk, do you recognize the text on this map?" Meng Fan asked the old monk.

The old monk's phantom appeared before Meng Fan, carefully examining the text on the map, his brows furrowing.

"Although I don't recognize these characters, I can guess that they might be from the Demon Realm or the Underworld. In our world, items from the Underworld are as rare as those from the Immortal Realm, so this is most likely from the Demon Realm!"

The old monk pondered for a while before speaking, still uncertain.

The Demon Realm's text?

Meng Fan shook his head.

Although he didn't recognize the Demon Realm's text, he had seen some information about the Demon Realm in a Sword Wraith Memory.

He didn't recognize the Demon Realm's text, but he had seen some of it.

Comparing them, the text on this map clearly didn't resemble the Demon Realm's!

Could it be from the Underworld?

Meng Fan was a bit surprised.

The Underworld and the Immortal Realm were worlds of the same level. Could a mere leader of the Fengyun Demon Sect like Zhang Hongfei have access to items related to the Underworld?

Meng Fan thought for a moment. It was possible that Zhang Hongfei had obtained these items by chance, which was quite normal.

And based on Meng Fan's speculation, Zhang Hongfei might not have known what this was, which was why he had casually thrown it into the storage ring, treating it as miscellaneous junk.

Not just Zhang Hongfei, but the same applied to Meng Fan.

Even if he guessed that it was an item from the Underworld, it was useless to him and would still be treated as junk.

After all, he couldn't enter the Underworld.

For cultivators, entering the Immortal Realm was a lifelong pursuit and dream!

But entering the Underworld was something they least wanted to experience.

Because there was only one way to enter the Underworld, and that was to die.

Who wanted to die?

Meng Fan tossed the map back into the storage ring, treating it as junk.

He would rather never take it out again.

Only if he entered the Underworld would he consider taking it out for research.

After organizing the ring, Meng Fan left the inn.

His next destination was the Hundred Flowers Sect.

Before leaving the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, he had learned that Li Xuerou had headed in the direction of the Hundred Flowers Sect after leaving Shu Mountain.

Like Meng Fan, Li Xuerou had also taken on a mission that led her to the Hundred Flowers Sect's territory.
