The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 24 Sword Fall Space

Su Qingxue pursed her red lips, squeezed out a single word through her teeth, stopped looking at Ye Feng, turned around and walked quickly towards the stairwell, her back view showing a hint of dishevelment.

Watching Su Qingxue's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs, Ye Feng stood there silently for a moment, the wound on his mouth throbbing slightly, reminding him of the delicious food he had just impulsively enjoyed.

"Things might get complicated later..."

Ye Feng muttered to himself and shook his head.

I had a good time just now, but I also thoroughly angered this icy beauty. The time we spend together from now on will definitely be like walking on thin ice.

However, he didn't regret it much. Some things should be done according to one's own will. Since the relationship between the two sides was already like this, he should just let nature take its course.

Forced love is never sweet, but it certainly quenches thirst, and it seems that Su Qingxue's body didn't reject it at all, so it seems that her internal problems urgently need to be addressed.

"Boy, you've got some nerve, daring to lay a hand on the young lady of the Su family right here in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion..."

Just as Ye Feng was in a daze, a figure quietly appeared and stood in front of him. The newcomer had a playful smile on his face. It was the middle-aged man that Su Qingxue had called Fifth Uncle before.

"senior…"

Ye Feng gave an awkward smile and fell silent.

The two of them had just unleashed their sword energy, and the resulting fluctuations could not possibly escape the notice of the middle-aged man guarding the pavilion.

"From now on, call me Fifth Uncle, just like Xueya did..."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly, showing no intention of blaming Ye Feng. From his words, it was easy to discern a kind of approval of Ye Feng, or rather, an understanding of the relationship between Ye Feng and Su Qingxue.

"Yes, I've met Fifth Uncle..."

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief and answered without hesitation.

Given his relationship with Su Qingxue, it is indeed appropriate to address him in that way.

"This is a strategically important area of ​​Lihuo Peak. It's good that nothing happened here, but next time, you'd better choose a different place. Young man, you should still consider some decorum..."

Seeing Ye Feng's still somewhat bewildered expression, the middle-aged man smiled calmly, gave him a reminder, and then disappeared.

Looking at the empty space where the middle-aged man had left, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief, no longer thinking about Su Qingxue, and turned his attention back to the dazzling array of sword manual jade slips.

"Let's choose the Devouring Heaven Sword Technique..."

After careful selection and deliberation, Ye Feng took out the identity token of a true disciple, connected its aura with the Devouring Heaven Sword Technique, and stored it in the sword ring.

This spiritual sword technique, which can accelerate the absorption of energy from heaven and earth, has a bonus effect on innate physique. Combined with his innate sword body, it can maximize his cultivation speed.

Then, Ye Feng's gaze shifted to the jade shelves where sword techniques were stored.

Although he is not lacking in methods, since he has come this time, he naturally cannot leave empty-handed.

"Let's see if there are any sword techniques that involve movement..."

As Ye Feng frowned in thought, he walked to the jade shelf where sword techniques were stored and began to browse through them. His gaze finally settled on a book of movement and sword techniques called "Qingfeng Sword Shadow Step".

"That's it..."

……

Tianxia Academy.

"They haven't come back..."

Ye Feng, who had just returned from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion, was taken aback when he did not sense Su Qingxue's presence, but he did not think much of it afterward.

Su Qingxue is the Holy Maiden of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, with an extraordinary background. Within this Li Huo Peak, apart from him, she probably won't suffer any grievances.

Back in his room, Ye Feng sat cross-legged, putting aside his thoughts about Su Qingxue, and took out the jade slip containing the Devouring Heaven Sword Technique from his sword ring, beginning to study it.

A vast amount of information flowed into his mind, and Ye Feng memorized the routes of sword energy and breathing techniques.

Then Ye Feng formed profound hand seals and began to circulate the sword energy within his body according to the route of the Devouring Heaven Sword Technique.

Time slips away bit by bit.

An invisible vortex of energy gradually formed around Ye Feng, and the energy of heaven and earth surged suddenly, continuously converging into Ye Feng's body.

"As expected of a spirit-grade sword technique, the absorption speed is incredible..."

Ye Feng was secretly delighted. At this moment, he could feel that the energy that had been swallowed into his body was rapidly transformed into pure sword energy under the operation of the Devouring Heaven Sword Technique, flowing from all parts of his body.

This speed is second only to cultivating with high-grade sword essence stones, and the effects of such sword techniques will definitely become more prominent in cultivation after reaching the Sword Soul Realm.

Because at that time, he could no longer cultivate with the sword essence stone, so the speed at which he could absorb the energy of heaven and earth was naturally as fast as possible.

Ye Feng continued his cultivation for over an hour before finally stopping.

"Next, it's time to hone your sword skills and prepare for the duel on the sword arena in three days."

Ye Feng finished his practice, his eyes gleaming.

Cheng Yue's strength is at the late stage of the Sword Soul Realm, and he is also a true disciple of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect. He cannot underestimate him and must make full preparations.

Right now, nothing gives him more anticipation and confidence than the contents of the sword pendant he carries with him.

This is why he dared to wager a thousand high-grade sword essence stones on Cheng Yue; for him, failure was simply not an option.

He didn't have a thousand high-grade sword essence stones.

"call…"

Ye Feng took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and slowly let his consciousness sink into the space of the sword-shaped jade pendant in front of his chest.

Since breaking through to the Sword Soul Realm and condensing a Heavenly-level Sword Soul, his divine sense has undergone a qualitative change, and his perception of this mysterious jade pendant has been greatly enhanced.

However, this enhancement is minuscule and insignificant compared to the space within the jade pendant.

This jade pendant, which accompanied him through two lifetimes, is shrouded in mystery.

As Ye Feng's consciousness sank into the vast space, his perception slowly coalesced into a phantom figure.

In the Sword Continent, the forms of sword souls of those at the Sword Soul Realm are not very different. They are related to their own sword intent and attributes, but most of them are similar to a miniature version of themselves, mixed with the weapon form of a longsword.

However, the illusory image of Ye Feng's consciousness that condensed in this space was not in the form of a sword soul, but rather in the exact form of his original body.

Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes. Before him was a vast space. There seemed to be no concept of up, down, left, or right. It was all chaos. Only a few dozen meters in front of Ye Feng stood a huge ancient stone sword!

The stone sword seemed to support the entire space, its surface covered with traces of time's erosion and inscribed with countless obscure ancient characters and sword patterns.

As Ye Feng's consciousness merely gazed at the stone sword, he felt his sword spirit tremble slightly, and a sense of awe arose in his heart.

In the center of the stone sword's blade, several enormous and powerful ancient characters are displayed.

The Sword of Annihilation!

A desolate and vast, terrifying sword intent, seemingly capable of obliterating everything, emanated from it.

"To comprehend such a profound sword manual, I wonder if reaching the Sword King realm would qualify one..."

Ye Feng suppressed his excitement, shook his head, and his gaze suddenly shifted downwards, finally settling on the edge of the giant sword, on a few inconspicuous ancient characters.

"The Seven Killing Swords of Meteorite..."
