The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 64 Next Step

As long as they can connect with the vast world and have external energy enter their world, they will not be limited by this world. Therefore, whether the Burning Heaven Sword Sect has a cultivation place in the space of the Blazing Fire Sword Stele is no longer important.

Not to mention matters concerning the entire world, Ye Feng, who wields the Blazing Fire Sword, is already unmatched in the Sword Continent with his current strength and realm.

"This sword is named Li Huo, which is quite fitting for your name. Unfortunately, its internal energy was completely absorbed by me during this training. To unleash its power, it needs to be nurtured for a period of time."

Ye Feng slightly raised the long sword in his hand, looked at Su Zhen, and sighed.

It's true that the Blazing Sword in his hand is a divine artifact, but it can't be called perfect right now.

"The name 'Li Huo' is merely a coincidence, but if you really think that way, it only proves that you and I are destined to meet."

Su Zhen chuckled, stroking his beard, then paused.

"The Blazing Fire Sword is an ancient artifact from the Sword Continent, where the energy of heaven and earth is scarce. It will probably be difficult to recover in a short time, but you don't need to worry too much. When you come to the Great Thousand World in the future, the problem of energy will surely be solved."

"Furthermore, even if its internal energy is thin, its power is enough to surpass the top swords in this world. If you wield this sword, I'm afraid I wouldn't be a match for you even in three rounds."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng shook his head and smiled.

Su Zhen's words were true. Below the Supreme Realm, when people of the same realm fight, even if a divine artifact can only exert a little power, it can still create an overwhelming force.

Moreover, in this lower plane, ordinary people don't have many ways to fight beyond their level, even a Sword Emperor like Su Zhen is no exception.

After a brief silence, Ye Feng looked at the four Sword Emperors, including Su Zhen, and bowed deeply.

"I owe my success today to the great support of my elders. I will never forget this kindness."

Now, no one in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect is stronger than him. He is free from all constraints, but he is not one to abandon those who have helped him. The support that Su Zhen and the others gave him is enough for him to remember.

"Why are you being so formal..."

Su Zhen walked up to Ye Feng and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

The Ye Feng before them showed no change in attitude towards them compared to when they first entered the Burning Heaven Sword Sect.

With his current strength, saying such comforting words is the best proof that he did not misjudge him.

Nowadays, Ye Feng and the Sword Emperors of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect are no longer a threat to him. If he were to turn against them and disregard the friendship they have built over the years, they would have no choice but to accept their misfortune.

"Junior Brother has always had excellent judgment; this is a blessing for our Burning Heaven Sword Sect."

Jiang Qingcang replied, his usually simple and dignified face now filled with a smile.

At their level of strength, there are few juniors worthy of their attention and regard, except for Ye Feng, who is an exception.

They embody their hopes for the future after leaving this world, and they will also be the pillars of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect in the future.

"It's a pity I don't have an outstanding granddaughter, otherwise I would have certainly tried to get closer to you. What a shame..."

Zhou Qian also looked at Ye Feng with satisfaction, unlike Jiang Qingcang and the other two, whose eyes showed a hint of jealousy.

He hadn't felt anything in the past, but as Ye Feng's strength increased, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

When it comes to his relationship with Ye Feng, he is ultimately no match for Jiang Qingcang and the other two.

Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled, unsure how to respond.

In the Sword Continent, one can improve their strength through dual cultivation. Having multiple partners has many benefits, but he doesn't need to take all the unmarried women from the Burning Heaven Sword Sect. With Su Qingxue and the other two, maintaining stable relationships is enough.

"What are your plans for the next step?"

The smile on Su Zhen's aged face faded slightly, replaced by a more serious expression.

The late-stage Sword Emperor is unparalleled on the Sword Continent, but it is not the pinnacle of this world. Reaching the peak of Sword Emperor is a prerequisite for breaking through to the level of Sword Emperor.

Ye Feng paused for a moment, looked into the distance, and spoke slowly.

"I am now only one step away from the Sword Emperor's perfect realm. The energy of the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm and the Blazing Fire Sword Stele has been exhausted. So, I plan to travel across this continent to find other places with abundant energy."

"Once I can break through to the peak of the Sword Emperor realm, I can attempt to advance to that level..."

Now, he knows exactly what to do next. If everything goes smoothly, the vast world will be within his grasp.

"It's time to travel around a bit..."

Su Zhen smiled and nodded, then seemed to remember something and reminded Ye Feng.

"Single-minded cultivation isn't a good thing either. We should spend more time with Xueya and the others, otherwise they'll say we old folks are heartless."

The Sword Continent is vast and boundless. In addition to the Western Sword Land where the Burning Heaven Sword Sect is located, there are two other major regions: the Central Sword Land and the Eastern Sword Land. There are also sacred sword lands with a history of tens of thousands of years in those areas, and naturally, there are energy spaces similar to the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm.

Given the talent and strength displayed by the person before him, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break through to the peak of the Sword Emperor realm with some support.

Knowing they are no match for him, no one would risk offending a powerful figure who might one day reach the level of a Sword Emperor.

Ye Feng's journey across the continent is destined to be smooth sailing; the real key lies in whether he can break through to the Sword Emperor realm.

There are not many records or insights about breaking through to that level in this world. For most people in this world who have cultivated to the Sword Emperor realm, the late stage of Sword Emperor has always been the limit.

Throughout history, the number of people who have reached the perfect level of Sword Emperor is extremely small, and among these people, those who have left behind insights and are capable of challenging the level of Sword Emperor are even fewer.

"Well, speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've been home. This time, I'll take Qingxue and the other two back to the Tianfeng Dynasty."

"It's not too late to seek a breakthrough after clearing your mind..."

As Ye Feng spoke, a gentle look appeared in his eyes.

Over the past few years, he has hardly stopped cultivating, and now that he has broken through to the Sword Emperor realm, it is only right that he goes home to see his grandfather.

At the same time, this is also a good opportunity to spend time with Su Qingxue and the other two, making their relationship more legitimate.

With his strength, taking three people with him from the Burning Heaven Sword Sect to the Heavenly Wind Dynasty wouldn't cause any problems.

"Very well, Xue and the other two are still members of your Ye family, so they should go back and get acquainted with the family..."

……

Tianxia Academy.

When Ye Feng returned, Su Qingxue, dressed in a silver-white dress, was sitting alone under the fire pine tree in the courtyard, her eyes slightly glazed, lost in thought.

Hearing footsteps, Su Qingxue slightly raised her eyes and met Ye Feng's smiling dark eyes. A hint of joy appeared on her fair and beautiful face.

"Finally out of seclusion. I thought you were going to spend several more years cultivating inside."

Su Qingxue got up and walked towards Ye Feng, her clear, cool voice filled with deep longing.
