Chapter 825 - 822: Comprehending the Sword Dao

When Ye Fan continued reading, he found these writings very soft and small in script, initially leading him to think that this Infinite Sword Ancestor was rather effeminate.

However, when he saw the penmanship style, he realized that this Infinite Sword Ancestor was special, a woman. Only a lady could write such soft and gentle characters.

Ye Fan understood these sword techniques and began to deeply reflect in his heart, for by the fourth person, he already felt the four internal powers clashing within him.

Therefore, he temporarily stopped reading further and was trying to exercise control over the clashing forces.

After fully digesting these four sword daos, he started looking at the next set of writings.

The fifth kind, when Ye Fan just looked at it, almost pierced his eyes.

Ye Fan was stunned, as these writings were brimming with endless sharpness, which matched his personality more closely.

He knew that this Infinite Sword Ancestor must have been a sharp sword ancestor; the writing style represented character, and more so the person’s sword dao.

Under this Infinite Sword Ancestor’s script, Ye Fan didn’t gain much insight because he had already been cultivating this sharp sword dao.

Thus, he directly looked at the writing of the sixth Infinite Sword Ancestor.

Upon looking at the sixth writing, Ye Fan suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, as this Infinite Sword Ancestor’s writings collided with the previous one’s.

Caught off guard, he suffered minor internal injuries, but these could be ignored.

Because this Infinite Sword Ancestor’s script was very ordinary, even blunt, like a dull instrument, lacking sharpness.

The writing wasn’t as extravagant as the previous Infinite Sword Ancestors’, similar to what a common person would write. If not for this being special, many would ignore it.

Yet to Ye Fan, this Infinite Sword Ancestor’s script was all-encompassing, full of profound meanings.

Transforming luxury into the mundane, only this sword ancestor could achieve that.

Of course, Ye Fan also knew that this Infinite Sword Ancestor’s cultivation was the highest present, because he could transform everything into the ordinary.

Few could reach this level.

Therefore, Ye Fan stayed here the longest.

Reaching the seventh Infinite Sword Ancestor, as soon as he saw this one’s writings, Ye Fan seemed to find resonance, as it exuded endless demonic qi.

Combining the power of demon and the power of sword dao, though Ye Fan knew this Infinite Sword Ancestor failed in the fusion, heading the wrong way.

Yet he respected this Infinite Sword Ancestor for daring to try, marking them as an extraordinary figure.

He spent almost 15 minutes in front of these writings.

At this point, the seven sword dao powers clashed fiercely within him, almost overwhelming Ye Fan.

Fortunately, in the final moment, he steadied these profound meanings of sword dao.

At this moment, Ye Fan knew there was no further reason to remain here; once he digested and fused these seven sword dao powers, he could elevate to a new height in sword dao.

Then, he walked out of the secret compartment.

At this time, the Guardian Elder asked Ye Fan, "How many writings did you comprehend?"

Ye Fan replied, "Seven!"

"What?"

The Guardian Elder was shocked that Ye Fan comprehended seven writings from the seven Infinite Sword Ancestors, and by now, Ye Fan should have been demonically possessed.

Yet here he was, standing unscathed, appearing to have gained much.

The Guardian Elder asked, "Do you feel any discomfort in your body?"

"I feel the seven powers vying within me, each wanting to be the strongest, but no need to worry as I’ve managed to restrain them,"

Ye Fan answered calmly.

The Guardian Elder just wanted to curse, thinking this was too much.

He said, "Sword Obsession has taken a good disciple. If you ever find you can’t restrain them, don’t force it!"

"You must forget the six, and focus on one!"

"Yes, I will remember!"

Ye Fan immediately said.

"Hmm hmm!"

The Guardian Elder nodded, then said, "All right, the Infinite Sword Pavilion is about to close. If you encounter difficulties, seek Sword Obsession!"

"He has his unique perspective on creation too!"

Ye Fan nodded repeatedly.

He then left the Infinite Sword Pavilion.

After leaving the Infinite Sword Pavilion, Ye Fan returned to Yanqi Peak.

He happened to see Li’er and Feng Shaohao whispering intimately.

"Ahem!"

With a cough from Ye Fan, Li’er and Feng Shaohao were frightened.

At this point, both Feng Shaohao and Li’er blushed, Feng Shaohao quickly called, "Senior Brother!"

"We..."

Ye Fan smiled and said, "We’re all men, I understand!"

He patted Feng Shaohao on the shoulder, preparing to leave, but Li’er gave Feng Shaohao a stern look. Feng Shaohao seemed innocent, for who could expect Ye Fan to appear at this moment.

At this moment, Feng Shaohao said to Ye Fan, "Senior Brother!"

"What’s up?"

Ye Fan turned back to ask.

Feng Shaohao quickly said, "Someone wants to challenge you!"

"Who?"

"Just deal with them!"

At this moment, Ye Fan wasn’t in the mood to entertain someone challenging him.

"Zhou Zhimei!"

Feng Shaohao immediately said.

"Just a woman, doesn’t matter!"

Ye Fan felt helpless at how many people sought abuse!

However, Feng Shaohao added with a bitter expression, "Zhou Zhimei ranks third among the elite disciples within the sect!"

"She is the chief disciple on Emei Peak!"

Ye Fan realized at once that Emei Peak was the sole peak within the sect dominated by women.

The elder of Emei Peak, the Emei Heavenly Master, was said to have once been infatuated with Sword Obsession.

Though Sword Obsession was only obsessed with sword dao, preferring to sleep with his sword rather than accept the Emei Heavenly Master’s affection, making the Emei Heavenly Master angry.

She vowed to challenge Yanqi Peak to the end, but never had the chance as Sword Obsession didn’t take disciples, and she couldn’t fight Sword Obsession.

Because Sword Obsession once said he admits defeat.

Finally, when they joined Yanqi Peak and Sword Obsession took a disciple, the Emei Heavenly Master finally had a reason, which was to defeat Sword Obsession’s disciple.

So this time, Zhou Zhimei sent a challenge, only coincidentally, Ye Fan wasn’t on Yanqi Peak.

Ye Fan said, "Just ignore it, we need to stay low-key!"

That was Ye Fan’s style.

But Feng Shaohao and Li’er both looked bitter.

"Why the long faces?"

Ye Fan sighed, wondering why these two were acting so strange today.

"Senior Brother, Zhou Zhimei said if you don’t fight, or lose, Li’er must join their Emei Peak! Senior Brother, what should we do?"

Feng Shaohao said, swallowing hard.

Ye Fan felt thoroughly exasperated.

He said to Feng Shaohao, "Then you should challenge her, why is it my problem?"

Feng Shaohao replied helplessly, "Senior Brother, I can’t beat her!"

"So annoying!"

Ye Fan unfolded the challenge letter, its contents simple: Zhou Zhimei invited him to duel at Heavenly Mirror Lake in ten days.

Seeing the inept Feng Shaohao and the charming Li’er, Ye Fan’s heart softened. He said to Feng Shaohao, "Tell Zhou Zhimei, I’ll be there in ten days!"
