Chapter 824 - 821: Sword Pavilion Treasures

The Infinite Sword Pavilion is the Book Pavilion of the Infinite Sword Sect, as it contains many insights created by the Infinite Sword Ancestors over the ages, as well as numerous books on Sword Dao.

It’s quite rich, after all, the Infinite Sword Sect is one of the thirty-six sects of Sword Dao! How could its collections be sparse?

Feng Shaohao had already found sword techniques suitable for himself within it.

Ye Fan also planned to try his luck there.

If there’s any gain, stepping into the Second Grade Ancestor Realm would also be good.

The difficulty of the Ancestor Realm is immense, each grade more challenging than the last, so, to step into the First Grade Ancestor Realm, he can only think of various ways to find opportunities.

Just right, this time is where the opportunity lies.

At this moment, Ye Fan arrived outside the Sword Pavilion.

The elder guarding the Sword Pavilion looked at Ye Fan and then asked, "Please show your identity token!"

The Sword Pavilion is not a place anyone can enter at will, only elite disciples can, and only once a year.

At this moment, Ye Fan took out his identity token and said to the Guardian Elder, "Junior disciple of Sword Obsession King of Heaven! I ask the elder to discern!"

The Guardian Elder looked at Ye Fan’s identity token and then said, "So you are the disciple of that old Sword Obsession guy, I remember that old guy hasn’t taken a disciple in a long time.’

"You are the one who defeated the chief disciple of Great Jade Peak a few days ago, aren’t you?"

He asked Ye Fan.

Ye Fan replied with an awkward smile: ’Elder, you’re too polite, I was just playing at house games, it’s nothing impressive!"

"Hahaha, humility is a good thing for young people, but being overly humble sometimes leads to constant trouble! Go ahead and enter! I’m free today, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me!"

"Thank you, senior!"

Ye Fan quickly replied.

He knew that the words of the Guardian Elder were not wrong at all, being overly humble often leads to being bullied, which is definitely not a good thing, he has deeply experienced this.

For example, these days, many martial artists have come to challenge him.

If he hadn’t kept avoiding them and instead had taught a few people a lesson, these people would have settled down, and at least he could have been quiet for a long time.

Stepping into the Infinite Sword Pavilion, Ye Fan saw the rows of flying swords, although they seemed similar in general.

Yet encompassed within them were myriad varieties, clearly, these were ultimate weapons.

He already possessed the Yuanhong Sword, the Yuanhong Sword was his life-and-death brother, Ye Fan didn’t linger but continued forward.

What he needed to peruse were those books.

At this moment, Ye Fan opened a book, it was an unparalleled sword technique, but Ye Fan knew it was not suitable for him.

After all, he was currently exploring sword techniques, rather than following someone else’s path.

However, having more skills never overloads the body, therefore, he quickly leafed through, countless sword moves etched into his mind.

The Guardian Elder who saw Ye Fan flipping through at such a quick pace then shook his head.

He approached and asked Ye Fan, "Did you really understand these contents?"

Ye Fan quickly responded, "Senior, I comprehended them."

"Oh? Such fast reading speed, I have never seen before, let me test you then!"

"What is the content of the thirtieth move!"

He asked Ye Fan.

Ye Fan immediately recited it verbatim.

The Guardian Elder was shocked because Ye Fan got it all correct.

Thus, he asked again, "What about the eighth move?"

Ye Fan answered correctly again. Only then did the Guardian Elder realize Ye Fan wasn’t cheating, nor was there any luck involved, he answered entirely correctly.

He said, "Not bad, not bad, to get them all correct, your talent is extraordinary, truly extraordinary!"

"How did you do it?"

Even if it’s not for ordinary people, even a genius couldn’t have such fast reading speed, though some can have photographic memory, Ye Fan’s speed far surpassed the standard of photographic memory.

Within 15 minutes, he could read five books, the speed was indeed quite fast.

For this, Ye Fan immediately said, "Elder, actually even I don’t know, whenever I open to look, the content just stays with me."

"Very good, keep it up! Do you plan to read all these books?"

He asked Ye Fan.

Even at Ye Fan’s speed, it would take at least ten days and nights to finish them all, so Ye Fan said, "Elder, I’m just reading what interests me!"

"I see you’re not reading any books about sword techniques, it’s all about understanding and the profound meanings of the sword. What’s this about?"

The Guardian Elder was very puzzled, not knowing what Ye Fan meant by reading these.

Seeing Ye Fan say again, "Senior, I am trying to create my sword techniques, so I want to look into content in that field, attempting it myself!"

The Guardian Elder said, "I understand, come with me then!"

Ye Fan followed him forward, the two arrived in a secret chamber, surrounded by walls, but Ye Fan indeed found this place very enticing.

Because the words on the walls were far from simple, each character was full of absolute profound meaning.

Sword Qi filled the air, with an urge to cut through everything.

At this moment, the Guardian Elder said, "The words on these four walls are entirely the handwriting left by the Infinite Sword Ancestors over the ages, no one has managed to endure reading them all!"

"Because many profound meanings clash with each other, and no one dares to try to read them all, reading just one wall is enough!"

"There are no records about sword techniques here, it’s entirely about Sword Dao’s profound meanings; the content it contains is too vast.

"Perhaps you can try! But I must warn you, a peerless genius of our sect once read all the characters here!"

"And then he became a fool!"

"So, you must be very careful! If you can’t hold on, then stop! I’ll be waiting for you outside!"

Ye Fan said, "Understood, thank you, senior!"

Then, the Guardian Elder left, and Ye Fan alone faced the walls, facing many distinct characters.

He started with the carelessly carved characters, he could infer from these inscriptions that the Infinite Sword Ancestor who wrote them must have been a very bold and unrestrained person,

Though there were thousands of words, one glance showed it was done in one go.

Like clouds and flowing water, unobstructed, after reading, Ye Fan comprehended much, his swordsmanship should be like these inscriptions, bold and unrestrained.

Therefore, he looked at the second Infinite Sword Ancestor’s inscriptions.

An Infinite Sword Ancestor doesn’t refer to just one person, but an era, the previous generation Sect Master was called the Infinite Sword Ancestor, so too is this generation’s Sect Master.

Even the next generation Sect Master can only be the Infinite Sword Ancestor, for inheriting the name of the Infinite Sword Ancestor allows one to control the entire Infinite Sword Sect.

The second person’s handwriting seemed orderly to Ye Fan, the strokes were upright, not slanted at all, written with beautiful calligraphy.

To Ye Fan, this Infinite Sword Ancestor was also a rule-abiding person, presumably a person of integrity and righteousness.

Although his temperament leaned more towards the previous Infinite Sword Ancestor’s, Ye Fan still read it all.

After finishing it, he gained another layer of understanding.

At this point, he continued to the third, the third’s handwriting gave him a sense of grand momentum, the strokes powerful and bold.

As if trying to pierce through the wall.

The handwriting of this Infinite Sword Ancestor gave a sense of roaming in a macrocosmic world, too grand, like the vivid beginning of the universe.

Ye Fan continued reading.

He then looked toward the fourth Infinite Sword Ancestor’s inscriptions, as he read this one, Ye Fan suddenly felt uncomfortable.

He had absorbed the Sword Dao profound meanings of the first three Infinite Sword Ancestors; indeed, at the fourth, he found that there seemed to be conflicts here.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have felt the discomfort.

Because the writings of the fourth Infinite Sword Ancestor were very gentle, gentle doesn’t mean weak, on the contrary, the gentleness was like the ultimate force in nature, using softness to overcome hardness.

Giving a feel of using little to achieve much.
