The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 98 Embarrassment

"Spirit Array Master..."

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, sensing the fluctuations of the spiritual energy array above the pavilion in front of him.

Compared to the protective spirit array in the main hall of the prefectural governor's mansion, this array is much weaker, and according to the spirit array levels of the Great Thousand World, it is at most level three.

However, he couldn't even set up the most basic spirit array. He hadn't studied array formations at all and was completely clueless about them.

In this vast world, there are many things he needs to learn: spirit array master, spirit alchemist, spirit weapon master, and so on. If possible, he should dabble in at least one of them.

Even if you can't be a complete expert, you can't be completely ignorant either.

"My lord, this is the library of the Tianlan County Prefectural Government. All the books collected by Tianlan County over the generations are here. Although it cannot compare with those of the great powers, it still contains quite a few records of the world."

Just as Ye Feng's mind was slightly troubled, Chen Yuan spoke, raised his hand, and sent a beam of spiritual light into the pavilion door, causing the array that had enveloped the entire pavilion to dissipate instantly.

Ye Feng nodded and stepped inside.

The library has three floors, with simple furnishings. Rows of wooden shelves are neatly arranged, displaying various books and scrolls.

Ye Feng's gaze swept across the bookshelf, and he walked straight toward the bookshelf that recorded his observations of the world.

"Please make yourself at home, my lord. Chen Yuan will wait outside."

Chen Yuan wisely refrained from following Ye Feng inside, instead remaining outside the pavilion awaiting instructions.

"Um…"

Ye Feng responded, his gaze sweeping over the rows of books and volumes. He casually picked up an ancient book and unfolded it to examine it closely.

"The world is vast and boundless, teeming with countless races..."

The first sentence that caught Ye Feng's eye made him feel slightly uneasy.

After arriving in this vast world, he realized that his previous understanding of this land was only the tip of the iceberg.

Time slips away, bit by bit.

Ancient books record some basic common sense about the world, the division of spiritual power realms, common types of spiritual beasts, the classification of spiritual objects in heaven and earth, and brief descriptions of various professions, etc.

Ye Feng flipped through the book one by one, memorizing all the information within.

"call…"

Two hours later, Ye Feng slowly closed the last ancient book, a hint of understanding appearing in his deep black eyes.

To gain a sufficient understanding of this vast world, simply listening to others is far from enough; one must also be diligent and consult numerous books.

Through these two hours of reading, he gained a clearer understanding of the world.

"At least we've made some progress."

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, then left the library and saw Chen Yuan still waiting respectfully outside, a smile in his eyes.

"I thank Prefect Chen for today."

Although Chen Yuan was weak, he answered many of his questions. Unfortunately, he did not have anything that matched his strength, so he could only find an opportunity to make up for it later.

This Fallen Sword Continent is the closest to the Sword Continent. He will have to pass through here when he returns to that world, and there may be a time when he will meet it again.

"You're too kind, sir. It is my honor to serve you."

Chen Yuan bowed deeply, his posture extremely humble.

"If fate allows, we will meet again. I will come to thank you again next time Ye Feng visits."

With a warm smile, Ye Feng left a message before rising into the air, transforming into a streak of light and heading south.

"Ye Feng..."

Chen Yuan murmured the name, feeling for some reason that he had stumbled upon an incredible opportunity, and he was not disappointed at all by Ye Feng's hasty departure.

"Those who come from lower planes, I wonder if they will be able to reach the level of Emperor Yan and Martial Ancestor in the future..."

……

After traveling for most of the day, Ye Feng had traversed nearly half of the Fallen Sword Continent and arrived outside Golden Palace City.

"arrive…"

Ye Feng stood in mid-air, gazing at the magnificent city before him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Jinque City, as the headquarters of the Jinque Chamber of Commerce, is the most prominent city in the surrounding tens of thousands of miles. Its scale is incomparable to remote small cities like Tianlan City.

The entire city covers an area of ​​over a thousand miles, with walls hundreds of feet high, all made of dark golden stone that gleams in the sunlight.

From a distance, it looks like a giant city cast in gold.

The city was filled with buildings standing side by side, and the streets were wide and orderly. Waves of spiritual energy emanated from all parts of the city, varying in strength.

"Supreme powerhouse..."

As his senses spread out, Ye Feng immediately detected several powerful auras, causing his mind to tighten.

Encountering supreme powerhouses carries some uncontrollable risks, but such risks can occur at any time, so there's no need to worry too much about them.

Being cautious is certainly necessary, but being timid and hesitant will make it difficult to achieve great things.

"As expected, it is one of the three top forces in the Fallen Sword Continent. In this Golden Palace City alone, there are six supreme experts stationed there."

"With such a lineup, they would indeed be considered a regional overlord in the Fallen Sword Continent."

Ye Feng's expression turned solemn, and he seemed to be lost in thought.

According to his perception, those six Supreme Beings, judging from their aura fluctuations alone, were at least at the second rank or above. The strongest of them was definitely above the fifth rank Supreme Being. Just a wisp of their aura made his soul tremble.

However, he did not come to the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce to seek revenge.

at the same time.

In the center of Golden Palace City, a vast, dark gold palace stands majestically. Above the palace gate hangs a plaque with the four characters "Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce" written in vigorous strokes, faintly revealing a vast spiritual energy fluctuation.

At this moment, in a quiet room on the top floor of the main hall, an old man dressed in golden robes sat cross-legged on a futon, his eyes slightly closed, and spiritual energy flowing around him.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy but bright eyes.

"Hmm, this aura..."

The old man of the Golden Palace slightly raised his eyes, his gaze piercing through layers of space, looking at the black figure standing in mid-air outside the city.

"No wonder they are unfamiliar to supreme experts from other continents."

"At such a young age, he already possesses supreme strength. I wonder which faction nurtured this prodigy..."

The old man in the golden robes muttered to himself, then his figure flashed and disappeared from the quiet room.

The moment the old man sensed Ye Feng's aura, the other supreme experts in Golden Palace City also sensed it and immediately noticed Ye Feng's arrival.

In this vast world, strength reigns supreme. In the eyes of the supreme powerhouses, only supreme powerhouses and above are worthy of respect. Although Ye Feng is only a first-grade supreme powerhouse, he is still a figure of considerable importance in this Fallen Sword Continent.

"Let's go into the city and take a look, but the entrance fee..."

Ye Feng frowned, looking at the spiritual energy array covering the city and the squads of city gate guards ahead, his figure hesitant.

At this distance, he could see that all the outsiders entering Golden Palace City had to pay a certain entrance fee.

Those were spirit coins, but he didn't have this kind of low-level cultivation currency in the vast world.

"If we had known this would happen, we should have borrowed some from Chen Yuan. Forcing our way into this city wouldn't have been wise..."

Just as Ye Feng was feeling embarrassed, an old and friendly voice came from inside.
