The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 33 Seeing Su Zhen Again

Feeling the surging power within him, Ye Feng let out a soft breath, a slight smile playing on his lips, his anticipation for the future growing stronger.

Although this world is a lower plane of the Great Thousand Worlds, it holds many advantages for him.

Su Zhen brought him into the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, which seemed to be his opportunity and luck, but in reality it was because of his innate sword body talent that had the potential to become a Sword Emperor.

Even without Su Zhen, there might have been other powerful figures. For these top experts on the Sword Continent, striving for higher levels and extending their lifespan is only natural.

To realize their wishes, they must break free from the predicament of this world; he undoubtedly represents hope.

"Besides continuing to cultivate, there doesn't seem to be anything else to do in this Burning Heaven Sword Sect..."

After thinking for a moment, Ye Feng took out the remaining sword essence stones and continued cultivating.

In a place like the Heavenly Wind Dynasty, even with resources like Sword Essence Stones, it would probably take one or two months to break through to the mid-stage of the Sword Soul Realm, and it would only take longer to reach later stages.

Although he has now broken through to the mid-stage of the Sword Soul Realm, it is far from enough for him.

To gain extraordinary strength, one must endure enough loneliness and tedium; cultivation itself is a very boring thing.

Fortunately, the thrill of improving one's strength is real and tangible, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

Time passed once more.

Seven days later, Ye Feng ran out of sword essence stones and stopped cultivating again.

"At the first level of Sword Soul cultivation, using high-grade sword essence stones in conjunction with the Devouring Heaven Sword Technique will be significantly faster than relying solely on the energy of heaven and earth. It would be best to acquire some more."

"Haven't seen Su Zhen in a long time, should grab something from him..."

With this in mind, Ye Feng took out the communication jade slip given to him by Su Zhen and injected his divine sense into it.

A month ago, Su Qingxue told him that if he needed sword essence stones, he could contact her father, Su Xuan, the peak master of Li Huo Peak.

But since he had never met his father-in-law, he was somewhat unsure of what to do.

On the contrary, he was more familiar with Su Zhen, and he had few concerns in front of him.

Su Zhen's purpose for him was very clear: to use his future to hopefully travel to the world. In a sense, their relationship was one of cooperation.

Training him and improving his current abilities are all preparations for the future, so there's nothing wrong with him asking for resources.

hum!

The void suddenly trembled, rippling slightly. Then, Su Zhen's familiar figure appeared out of thin air, standing before Ye Feng.

"Little guy, you've reached the mid-stage of the Sword Soul Realm, not bad."

Su Zhen stroked his beard, smiling as he looked at Ye Feng, his eyes revealing a clear understanding of Ye Feng's strength at a glance.

"Greetings, senior."

Ye Feng bowed with his hands clasped.

"Senior, you've already made a move on my granddaughter, why don't you change your tune..."

Su Zhen spoke casually, with a playful look on his face.

Upon hearing this teasing, Ye Feng's expression froze, and he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment.

Su Zhen knew some things about him and Su Qingxue, which didn't surprise him. For a powerhouse of this level, apart from his soul consciousness and the sword pendant space hidden within his body, there were probably no secrets.

If they were to pay attention, or if the guardian of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion were to report it, they would naturally know what happened that day.

"It's easier to call him 'senior'."

Ye Feng smiled slightly.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhen didn't pay much attention to Ye Feng's form of address, but it only made Ye Feng's embarrassment increase.

"You used to speak ill of Xue girl in your heart quite a bit, buddy. What, have I ever exaggerated her appearance?"

Seeing Su Zhen bring up the old matter again, Ye Fengqian laughed twice, "What you said is certainly true, senior. Qingxue is indeed peerless in beauty. It was my presumptuous guess back then that was very rash."

When she first met Su Zhen, the latter insisted on marrying his granddaughter to her, which she found hard to believe at the time, and she even had some doubts about Su Qingxue's appearance.

But when he entered the Burning Heaven Sword Sect and saw Su Qingxue with his own eyes, he realized how absurd his previous thoughts were.

He had already met two of the three holy maidens of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, and although Jiang Zhenyue was not bad in temperament and appearance, if a comparison were to be made, Su Qingxue would undoubtedly be superior.

Most importantly, it has a soft and sweet taste that is hard to forget once you've tried it.

"You're quite the talker, kid. Speak up, what do you want to see me about? If you need resources like sword essence stones, just ask Xue'er's father for them. I've already made arrangements for him."

Su Zhen chuckled, clearly already knowing Ye Feng's purpose in meeting him this time.

"Nothing can be hidden from you, senior. However, as a mere disciple, I fear it would be quite uncomfortable for me to go and meet you..."

Ye Feng sighed, his tone tactful, indicating some hesitation.

Meeting Su Qingxue's father once is fine, but demanding sword essence stones as soon as you see him is far too presumptuous.

Both Su Zhen and Su Qingxue helped him, especially Su Zhen, who saved his life.

If we add Su Xuan, the peak master of Li Huo Peak, and his father-in-law, to that list.

The favor he owes to these three generations of people is probably something he can never repay.

Things cannot be generalized. Even if he can provide a generous return in the future, for now, these three are the ones who are making the sacrifices.

For him, the support of Su Zhen and his son Su Xuan is the foundation for his current peace of mind in cultivating.

Without such a background, no matter where you are, you will inevitably encounter trouble wherever there are people. Even if you win by relying on your own strength, you will waste too much time.

"Hehe, it was my oversight. You little rascal, your dough is a bit too thin. Here, let me give you an idea."

Su Zhen smiled, a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Now that we're family, just have Xueya go to her father and get it back for you."

"Let her go. It's perfectly legitimate and won't embarrass you. Once you two get married, these things will be your own business, and there won't be any question of owing or not owing anything."

"This…"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, but he had to admit that this was indeed the most suitable solution at the moment.

With Su Qingxue acting on his behalf, he wouldn't feel too uncomfortable. He could save face and wouldn't feel embarrassed. Besides, it would also further strengthen his relationship with Su Qingxue.

Otherwise, he and Su Qingxue would have had virtually no contact. The latter was aloof, and he was engrossed in cultivation. If things continued like this, their relationship would hardly progress.

Su Zhen's suggestion was intended to bind him more closely to the Su family, and he naturally understood this intention.

This can only mean that Su Zhen had extremely high expectations for his future, to an unparalleled degree.

"Cultivate diligently. Once you break through to the Sword Domain Realm, I will change the old rules of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect and facilitate your long-term cultivation in the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm. That place will be the key to your leap in strength."
