The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 60 The Blazing Sword Monument

"It seems you want to know more, but I think it's better to wait until the three of you are together before talking about it, otherwise it will be too boring."

The three women were far weaker than him and could not satisfy his desires. It was actually a good thing that his desires were not aroused, otherwise it would be nothing short of torture for him.

However, this problem is not without a solution. The saying "many hands make light work" is not an exaggeration and can make up for some of the losses.

"Your wicked thoughts haven't changed at all. You're really dreaming. But I don't have any objections now. I'm just afraid that the two of them won't be able to bring themselves to say it."

Jiang Zhenyue lightly spat, pressed her cheek against Ye Feng's chest, listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and spoke to herself.

We're all family. If my husband is willing, then of course it's fine. It's rare to get together like this, and it's much better than being alone in my empty room all the time.

Su Qingxue glanced enviously at Jiang Zhenyue's position with her clear eyes, then parted her red lips slightly and directly changed the subject of Ye Feng's embarrassing topic.

"You've emerged from seclusion today, are you heading to the Blazing Sword Monument...?"

If she were willing to take the initiative, that position wouldn't be available to Jiang Zhenyue, but with Qi and Chen tide present, she always felt somewhat embarrassed.

Ye Feng's idea of ​​having her with these two to satisfy his wicked desires is nothing short of delusional.

Chen tide also raised her head, her gentle gaze filled with concern.

"Yes, with my current strength, the only way to improve quickly is to enter these ancient inheritance spaces."

"One cannot be truly at ease until one reaches the level of Sword Emperor."

Ye Feng nodded and responded.

The world is full of crises, and being trapped in this lower plane is far too passive, with absolutely no right to choose.

To live a carefree life in this world for a thousand years, only to pass away peacefully, is not the ending he desired.

The sense of urgency felt by Su Zhen and his companions was not without reason; it involved life and death, and the mere thought of it was terrifying.

All this is because without breaking through the barriers between heaven and earth and venturing into the vast world, surviving in this realm would mean certain death.

Upon hearing Ye Feng mention the words "Sword Emperor," the three women fell silent for a moment.

That realm was far too distant and ethereal for them, and even more so for their elders, the Sword Emperors of this world.

"You don't need to push yourself too hard..."

Although Su Qingxue's voice was soft, there was a hint of heartache in it.

"I cultivate for myself, not for others."

Ye Feng smiled slightly and took a sip of tea.

He didn't have that much motivation to cultivate for others, and he couldn't easily share the many secrets he knew about the Great Thousand World, the world beyond this realm.

He didn't have a good reason to explain why he knew these things, and for the three beauties in front of him, knowing less was a good thing.

When he travels to the Great Thousand World in the future, he cannot take the three of them with him. Even supreme experts must be careful of the spatial turbulence between the lower plane and that world, let alone these three. It is inevitable that they will be separated for a long time.

But who knows when he will truly settle down?

As his thoughts drifted away, Ye Feng's expression became much more somber.

"Yes, I'll wait for you here."

Su Qingxue looked up at Ye Feng, her voice as clear as a spring striking a stone, full of determination.

Me too.

Jiang Zhenyue put away her joking expression and nodded seriously, as did Chen tide, who was always gentle and quiet.

Ye Feng felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Don't worry, you won't have to wait too long this time."

After a brief moment of tenderness, Ye Feng didn't linger. He bid farewell to the three women, and with a flicker, disappeared from the spot.

……

The core forbidden area of ​​Lihuo Peak.

A towering, ancient sword monument, entirely crimson and thousands of feet tall, stood silently. Its body seemed to be cast from molten lava, and it was engraved with countless mysterious and incomprehensible patterns, radiating a scorching and vast energy fluctuation.

This stele is the Blazing Fire Sword Stele, which is as famous as the Blazing Fire Ancient Realm within the Blazing Fire Sword Sect. It has its own space and can be described as an excellent place for cultivation.

Before the monument, four powerful Sword Emperors—Su Zhen, Jiang Qingcang, Chen Yuan, and Zhou Qian—were already waiting.

"Ready?"

Su Zhen looked at Ye Feng, who had appeared, and asked with a smile.

Having reached their level, their strength was unlikely to improve further, and they were essentially idle. Therefore, the four of them paid extra attention to Ye Feng's cultivation, afraid of missing anything.

"Yes, thank you for waiting here, elders."

Ye Feng cupped his hands in a fist and bowed to the four people.

Every time he entered the sacred cultivation ground of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, the four of them would wait for him, which showed how eagerly they anticipated his arrival.

Normally, it would be no easy task to get these four Sword Emperor level experts together.

"The Blazing Fire Sword Stele is different from the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm. It is an artifact passed down from ancient times. I hope you will gain a lot from entering it this time. If you can communicate with and control the spirit of the stele, the Blazing Fire Sword Stele will be yours."

Su Zhen explained solemnly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes. The Blazing Fire Sword Stele had been passed down in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect for tens of thousands of years, yet no one had ever truly gained its recognition.

Its primary function was to serve as a secret cultivation space for members of the sect to improve their strength.

If Ye Feng succeeds this time, he will not only improve his strength and realm, but may also obtain an ancient treasure.

"The spirit of the monument?"

Ye Feng's heart stirred, and he stared intently at the Li Huo Sword Stele in front of him.

Compared to the secret realm of the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm, this Blazing Fire Sword Stele is a real object, or rather, a larger sword.

"Indeed, the Blazing Fire Sword Stele contains an array that absorbs the energy of the outside world, which is the key to its survival in our Burning Heaven Sword Sect to this day."

Jiang Qingcang added a sentence, and then continued: "Compared to the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm, although the energy within the Blazing Fire Sword Stele will weaken and deplete due to human absorption, it should be able to slowly recover given time. And this is inseparable from the relationship with the spirit of the stele."

"Unfortunately, over the years, no one in my Burning Heaven Sword Sect has ever been able to control it or gain its recognition."

Ye Feng nodded thoughtfully and took a deep breath.

This Blazing Sword Stele is probably an artifact left behind from the Great Thousand World. Although its grade is unknown, it possesses some consciousness, so it is unlikely to be low.

If it can be controlled, the benefits will be self-evident.

Even now, he doesn't have a suitable weapon, and the high-level swords of the Sword Continent are of little use to the Sword Emperor level.

Only these ancient artifacts, things from the vast world, can enhance one's strength.

"Go ahead, you know we old guys are more anxious than you are."

Su Zhen chuckled, then waved his hand, and a crimson light imprint entered the Li Huo Sword Stele.

The monument trembled, and the stripes on it suddenly lit up. As the crimson light flowed, a slowly rotating vortex entrance was formed in the center of the monument.
