The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 19 will disappoint you

Su Qingxue turned slightly to the side, gesturing to Ye Feng beside her.

"That must be Ye Feng. He truly is a genius..."

The middle-aged man glanced at Ye Feng, paused for a moment, and then understood, clearly knowing some information about Ye Feng.

"Greetings, senior..."

Ye Feng stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Take out your true disciple token; I'll register it here."

The middle-aged man smiled, his face gentle.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng had an idea and handed over the disciple token hanging from his waist.

"Alright, with this token, you can choose one sword manual or sword technique to take back. Just remember to return it next month..."

The middle-aged man lightly flicked his bamboo pen and then returned the token to Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng understands."

After responding, Ye Feng and Su Qingxue went straight up without lingering on the first or second floor.

"What kind of sword technique do you want to choose?"

On the corridor leading to the third floor, Su Qingxue's clear, icy eyes flickered, and she took the initiative to speak.

"A special sword technique that can accelerate the absorption of energy from heaven and earth."

Ye Feng didn't hide anything and responded.

Compared to sword skills, sword techniques are extremely rare on the Sword Continent, especially this kind of special sword technique. As a top power renowned on the Sword Continent, the Burning Heaven Sword Sect must not lack such sword techniques.

For him, the sword techniques of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect were not particularly attractive. The sword-shaped jade pendant that had accompanied him through his two lifetimes contained a space of its own, which was full of powerful sword techniques and even had the effect of helping people to comprehend and study them.

He was able to contend with four late-stage Sword Soul Realm protectors from the Fiend Sword Sect at the early stage of the Sword Soul Realm, and that was all thanks to that item.

Unfortunately, the contents of this sword-shaped jade pendant are not something he can freely use. To obtain what he desires, his strength must meet certain requirements.

"Your cultivation speed is not slow, why bother..."

Su Qingxue blurted out something subconsciously, then realized she had misspoke and stopped abruptly.

In this land of swords, probably no one would not want to be stronger.

The person in front of her was her fiancé, and regardless of the future, his current strength far surpassed hers.

"It seems there are some things the Supreme Elder didn't explain to you in detail, but you'll understand later..."

A determined look appeared in Ye Feng's dark eyes, and then he glanced at Su Qingxue.

After entering the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, Ye Feng changed how he addressed Su Zhen.

"If you don't want to say it, then so be it. Why make it so mysterious?"

Su Qingxue frowned slightly, and her words, spoken softly, conveyed a sense of dissatisfaction.

Slightly choked, Ye Feng coughed dryly and didn't dwell on the topic.

"Let's go..."

It would be fine to tell Su Qingxue why Su Zhen values ​​him, but now is clearly not the time to talk about that; choosing a sword technique is more important.

Ever since he realized that the Sword Continent was a lower plane of the Great Thousand World, he had no sense of security and his heart was always filled with a sense of crisis.

Sometimes, knowing too much isn't a good thing. His foresight about the world doesn't offer much of an advantage on the Sword Continent.

Only by improving our strength as soon as possible can we bolster our confidence.

"The person next to Senior Sister Su looks so young, could they be the same person from three days ago..."

"That's unlikely. Sword Soul Realm experts can fly on swords. How could someone so young reach such a level? He must be one of our senior brothers from the Burning Heaven Sword Sect..."

"That should be the case..."

"..."

While Ye Feng and Su Qingxue were having a brief conversation, some disciples turned their gazes toward them and began to whisper among themselves.

In the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, Su Qingxue is the center of attention wherever she goes, while Ye Feng is undoubtedly just a supporting character attracting attention.

Seeing Ye Feng change the subject, Su Qingxue didn't say anything more, ignoring the gazes directed at her, and followed Ye Feng straight up to the third floor.

True disciples have the authority to enter the fourth level, and the higher you go, the more good things you will naturally find.

However, just as the two were about to climb the stairs to the third floor, a figure blocked their way.

The newcomer was about twenty years old, dressed in a white shirt, with a handsome face, but his eyes and brows carried an inescapable fierceness and arrogance.

The aura swirling around him was completely undisguised, clearly indicating that he had reached the late stage of the Sword Soul Realm.

The newcomer first gave Su Qingxue a burning look, then that burning gaze quickly turned cold as he fixed his gaze on Ye Feng.

"Junior Sister Qingxue, who is this person? He looks completely unfamiliar..."

The young man scanned Ye Feng with hostile eyes, trying to see through the latter's strength, but no matter how he tried to sense it, he could not detect anything and only felt that it was extremely ordinary.

When he saw the true disciple token on Ye Feng's waist, his expression froze, filled with disbelief.

In the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, the number of true disciples is very small. He had been cultivating for many years and was only recently recognized by an uncle at the Sword King realm, barely making him a true disciple. What merit or ability does this kid who hasn't even grown his hair yet have?

"Cheng Yue, who is he? Do I need to explain to you?"

Su Qingxue frowned slightly, her clear, bright eyes looking at the young man with a hint of coldness, her voice extremely indifferent.

"Junior sister, please don't misunderstand. I'm just curious when the sect acquired such a true disciple. Asking about it isn't a crime, is it..."

Faced with Su Qingxue's indifference and the imposing presence of someone in a superior position, Cheng Yue's expression changed slightly, and a barely perceptible rage flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure and spoke with reason and composure, accompanied by a smile.

"Get out of the way!"

Su Qingxue did not respond to Cheng Yue's question, but simply said two words. The chill in her voice seemed to freeze the air, carrying an innate aloofness and detachment.

Throughout the entire Burning Heaven Sword Sect, especially on Li Huo Peak, Su Qingxue is not only a Holy Maiden, but also the granddaughter of the Supreme Elder Su Zhen and the daughter of Peak Master Su Xuan. Her background is so profound that she can be considered a little princess.

There are many who admire her, but very few who dare to defy Su Qingxue to her face and offend her.

Often, background itself is a powerful asset.

Cheng Yue's expression changed. Seeing that Su Qingxue was truly angry, he was quite wary and did not dare to really stop her. He gritted his teeth and stepped aside, but his sinister eyes were fixed on Ye Feng.

A sharp sword aura, like an invisible needle, carrying a warning and provocation, pressed directly towards Ye Feng.

"Kid, I don't care who you are, you'd better stay away from Junior Sister Qingxue. There are some people you can't afford to associate with."

Cheng Yue lowered his voice, his tone chilling.

Despite feeling the targeted pressure of the sword energy, Ye Feng remained calm and didn't even frown.

This level of oppression felt like a gentle breeze to him.

However, Ye Feng stopped and turned to look at the young man with a fierce expression, his calm eyes carrying a hint of coldness.

"That will probably disappoint you..."
