Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 239 – To possess the body of a Bodhisattva but act like a demon!

In fact, at this moment, Wu Tian also had a similar realization.

However, his perspective was a bit narrow, limited to the concepts of Buddha and Demon, unlike Meng Fan's broader and more complex understanding.

Previously, Wu Tian believed that Buddha was Buddha and Demon was Demon!

He knew he didn't have the potential to become a Buddha; instead, his personality and actions were somewhat demonic.

Although he didn't mind this and wasn't afraid of truly becoming a demon, if given a choice, he naturally hoped to be a glamorous Buddha rather than a demon everyone wanted to kill.

Just now, he had a new insight!

Buddha and Demon didn't necessarily have to be so clearly distinguished. From Meng Fan's sword strike, he thought of a genius idea.

That was to merge Buddha and Demon into one...

To possess the body of a Bodhisattva but act like a demon!

Thinking about it, it seemed quite thrilling.

"I can continue to cultivate Buddhist techniques to refine my golden body, while also freely cultivating other things. As long as I have no qualms, everything will be fine!"

Wu Tian's father and Elder Lin had sent Wu Tian to the Sword Pavilion to cultivate his character and eliminate his demonic nature.

So Elder Lin gave Wu Tian a copy of the "Ice Heart Sword Scriptures," intending to remove Wu Tian's brutality and murderous intent with the principle of "a heart as clear as ice, unshaken even if the sky falls."

Who would have thought that even such a sword scripture could be practiced by this kid to develop a demonic nature and cultivate a Demon Sword?

So this kid was truly beyond saving!

Honestly, if Wu Tian hadn't come to the Sword Pavilion and hadn't met Meng Fan, he might not have become so extreme.

This is how fate plays tricks on people!

Whether it's a blessing or a curse, it's hard to predict.

If it's a blessing, it's not a curse; if it's a curse, you can't avoid it.

The next day, after absorbing the spirituality cultivated by the old monk, Meng Fan, as usual, went to the Thousand Catty Fall formation at the Cliff of Remorse to cultivate.

Then he went to Liu Yanping's courtyard to guide Ye Qingyu and Liu Ye Han in cultivating Sword Momentum.

Now, the goal of these guys was unanimous: they all wanted to master Sword Momentum!

If nothing unexpected happened, the first to master Sword Momentum should be Yang Shishi.

For the next eight days, Meng Fan lived a very fulfilling life, moving between the Cliff of Remorse, the Alchemy Hall, and the Sword Pavilion.

Although some time was wasted, his cultivation level still broke through to the seventh level of the Heavenly Origin Realm!

He was getting closer and closer to the Condensation Pill Realm.

***

One morning, Meng Fan pushed open the door of the Sword Pavilion, ready to go to the Cliff of Remorse as usual, when he encountered an acquaintance outside the door.

Li Xuerou!

This young lady had been in seclusion for months, and Meng Fan hadn't seen her for a long time.

"Xuerou, you've finally come out of seclusion!" Meng Fan said with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Honestly, people have the right to cultivate in seclusion, and being able to focus on cultivation is a good thing.

But Meng Fan always felt something was off, though he couldn't pinpoint what it was.

At the same time, Meng Fan noticed that Li Xuerou's cultivation level had reached the sixth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm!

This... was a bit outrageous.

The last time he visited Li Xuerou in seclusion, she was only at the fourth level of the Heavenly Origin Realm.

How long had it been, and she had already jumped two levels to the sixth level?

Such an exaggerated speed had surpassed Meng Fan!

Theoretically, Li Xuerou had an Excellent Spiritual Root, while Meng Fan had a Mixed Spiritual Root.

It was natural for Li Xuerou's cultivation speed to surpass Meng Fan's.

But that's not how it worked; Meng Fan's cultivation speed had nothing to do with his Mixed Spiritual Root; he had a cheat!

"Meng Fan, I'm planning to go down the mountain to kill a few people." Li Xuerou said, catching Meng Fan off guard.

If he remembered correctly, this young lady had never killed anyone before!

She had only killed a few demons in the Demon Realm.

Killing people and killing demons were not the same concept, nor the same feeling.

A young lady who had never killed anyone suddenly wanted to go kill people...

"Who do you want to kill?" Meng Fan asked gravely.

He knew that Li Xuerou wouldn't say such a thing without a reason.

"I heard that three hundred miles west of Shu Mountain, in a place called Deyun Town, disciples of the Skyhawk Demon Sect have been committing atrocities, harming the people," Li Xuerou said seriously.

Disciples of the Demon Sect committing atrocities was a common occurrence, nothing surprising.

The key point in Li Xuerou's words was "Skyhawk Demon Sect."

Back then, the village where Meng Fan and Li Xuerou lived was massacred by the Skyhawk Demon Sect.

Only the two of them survived.

Meng Fan had time-traveled here, so his hatred for the Skyhawk Demon Sect wasn't as deep as one might imagine.

But Li Xuerou was different. The words "Skyhawk Demon Sect" were her nightmare. She had countless dreams of Skyhawk Demon Sect members killing her family, even killing herself!

Every time she woke up, she would tremble all over.

Fear, anger, despair, sadness, rage, madness...

All kinds of emotions tormented her!

And these were things Meng Fan didn't know, things he hadn't experienced.

Perhaps the original owner of Meng Fan's body had felt them, but Meng Fan hadn't truly empathized!

Meng Fan frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The people of the Skyhawk Demon Sect deserve to die, but your current cultivation level is still weak. A gentleman's revenge is never too late!"

In Meng Fan's view, such deep-seated hatred should naturally be avenged.

But one must have enough strength to do so; otherwise, it would be courting death.

For a behemoth like the Skyhawk Demon Sect, seeking revenge with just a Heavenly Origin Realm cultivation was nothing but a fool's dream.

And if it was just to kill a few small fry, it wouldn't be satisfying, and there would be no sense of revenge!

Meng Fan vaguely felt that Li Xuerou must have encountered some problem during her seclusion.

That's why she was so eager to kill and seek revenge as soon as she came out!

"Brother, I've waited long enough! When I had no cultivation, I waited; when I was in Qi Refining, I waited; when I was in True Martial, I still waited!

Now that I've reached the Heavenly Origin Realm, and I'm at the sixth level, I don't want to wait any longer.

As far as I know, the Skyhawk Demon Sect disciples causing trouble near Deyun Town are also just at the Heavenly Origin Realm.

If I can't even kill them, then I don't deserve to live in this world.

Brother, I've waited too long. If I wait any longer without venting, I'll go crazy!"

Li Xuerou stared at Meng Fan with wide eyes.

She thought Meng Fan could understand her, could empathize with her feelings.

But looking into Meng Fan's eyes, she was disappointed.

Because she didn't see hatred in Meng Fan's eyes!

Her brother Meng Fan had forgotten the hatred.

"Meng Fan, don't you remember how Third Aunt died? Can you really forget the scene of Third Uncle being beheaded? And what about Niuya and Goudan..."

Listening to Li Xuerou's words, the memories of the original owner of Meng Fan's body surfaced in his mind, as if he had experienced them himself.

"Alright, I'll go with you!"
