The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

The Golden Palace Supreme carefully examined Ye Feng, his eyes filled with amazement.

Those who come from lower planes are all exceptionally talented individuals in their respective worlds. In this vast world, even if they cannot compare to the Flame Emperor or the Martial Ancestor, they are still far beyond the reach of ordinary supreme beings.

Within the Sword Domain, the Floating Life Supreme, who controls the Floating Life Continent, also came from a lower plane hundreds of years ago and is now a renowned Earth Supreme powerhouse.

As for those people from lower planes on other continents, although they are not as famous as these people, their strength is mostly no weaker than his.

"You flatter me, senior."

Ye Feng spoke softly with a humble expression.

Coming from a lower plane, such a background would certainly make one look at someone with higher regard in this vast world, but that's about it.

In this vast world, strength reigns supreme. If one remains complacent and dwells on past glories, one's strength will stagnate, and one will only become a laughingstock.

People like Emperor Yan and Emperor Wu are ultimately a minority. Most people who come from lower planes, no matter how outstanding, will eventually become ordinary and mediocre.

Of course, this ordinariness and mediocrity are only relative to those who are supreme beings or above. Anyone who breaks through the original barriers between heaven and earth and enters the Great Thousand World from a lower plane is at least a supreme being like him.

The spatial turbulence throughout the vast world is something that those below the level of a supreme being cannot withstand.

"I never imagined that we would one day encounter people from a lower plane on this Fallen Sword Continent. What a fortunate meeting."

"..."

Following closely behind the Golden Palace Supreme, the five elders of the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce also came to their senses, looking at Ye Feng with more curiosity and admiration in their eyes.

The only female elder among them had a strange glint in her eyes and beat Ye Feng up and down.

It must be said that Ye Feng's naturally endowed appearance is quite remarkable.

"Young brother, you are new to this world and don't know much about it. It is a wise choice for you to come to my Golden Palace Merchant Guild to purchase spirit maps."

"However, the world is vast and boundless, with countless supercontinents and ordinary continents. A complete spirit map is extremely valuable, not to mention the cultivation of the Supreme Dharma Body. Even the cultivation of the Supreme Realm requires the use of Supreme Spirit Liquid."

"I wonder if you, young brother, would be interested in joining my Golden Palace Merchant Guild? Once you join, the guild will provide you with whatever you need, and every year, you will also receive a thousand pieces of Supreme Spirit Liquid as an offering."

"And if one day, young brother, your strength surpasses ours, it wouldn't be unreasonable for the Golden Palace Merchant Guild to be led by you..."

Jinque Supreme stroked his silver-white beard, his gaze towards Ye Feng filled with fervor, and immediately voiced his thoughts.

A young supreme expert from a lower plane with no background, he is a perfect gem. If we can win him over to the Golden Palace Merchant Guild and establish a good relationship with him, the guild's strength will surely increase greatly.

Supreme powerhouses are not a rare breed in the Fallen Sword Continent. Moreover, if one cultivates a good relationship with such a person with extraordinary potential, one might benefit from it in the future and further enhance one's strength.

Given time, if he could reach the level of the Flame Emperor or the Martial Ancestor, or even the Supreme Being of Life, it would be an unimaginable opportunity for him…

After the Emperor Jinque finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the hall.

"Young brother, you've just arrived in this vast world and have nowhere to stay. Our Golden Palace Merchant Guild is a good choice..."

"Yes, young brother, you may not know, but a thousand drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid is already the treatment of a third-grade Supreme expert or above in the Fallen Sword Continent."

"..."

The five elders of the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce stared intently at Ye Feng. After a moment's hesitation, they urged him to speak, their eyes filled with undisguised anticipation.

If a young supreme being from a lower plane could join the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce, it would undoubtedly be a great boost to the chamber.

More importantly, such a person has no powerful backing. If one can help him out of his predicament when he first arrives in this world and establish a good relationship, the future rewards may be immeasurable.

If he becomes mediocre and becomes an ordinary supreme being, he can share the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. No matter from any angle, winning over the person in front of you is a very worthwhile deal.

At their level of power, everything is driven by self-interest, and the person before them certainly has the potential to win them over.

"Supreme Elixir..."

Ye Feng's deep black eyes flickered slightly, and he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

In this vast world, one cannot move an inch without Supreme Spiritual Liquid, and a thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid is an unimaginable treasure for a First-Rank Supreme.

It should be noted that even a first-grade supreme being can only condense one or two drops of supreme spiritual liquid per month, and he is no exception.

To successfully cultivate the Blazing Sword Body and enhance one's strength, the Supreme Spiritual Liquid is essential.

Cultivating by relying on the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be extremely slow.

He had intended to join the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce after arriving there.

Temporarily joining a faction to acquire cultivation resources and intelligence about the continent is the fastest way to get started in this vast world, and it best suits his current interests.

Now, the Supreme King of the Golden Palace has personally extended an invitation, offering him such generous treatment right off the bat, demonstrating his utmost sincerity.

However, such a powerful seventh-grade supreme expert would never make useless investments. If his strength stagnates here and he can hardly make any progress, then what awaits him is probably endless tedious matters.

Ultimately, everything depends on performance.

"Senior, you are too kind. I am new to this world and have nothing of value. I am grateful to the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce for your attention."

Ye Feng bowed to the Golden Palace Supreme and the others, sincerely accepting their greetings, before pausing in his speech.

"However, there is one thing I need to make clear in advance, and I hope that my seniors and everyone else will not take offense."

"If necessary in the future, Ye Feng may leave the Fallen Sword Continent at any time to gain experience elsewhere."

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Feng spoke frankly.

Having just arrived in this vast world, although he intended to temporarily join the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce, he would never confine himself to it.

He needs to find the essence of the Fire, and there are countless opportunities in the vast world. He cannot stay on the Fallen Sword Continent forever.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Emperor of the Golden Palace was not displeased at all; instead, he laughed heartily.

"Young man, you're overthinking it. The rules of my Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce are quite lax. You just need to lend a hand at crucial moments."

"In ordinary times, just cultivate in a calm mind."

"To be honest, I am more than happy to have you join my Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce. As for your future decision, it is entirely up to you. The Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce will not make things difficult for you."

Having lived for hundreds of years and known countless people, he could tell that although the young man before him was still relatively weak, his calm and reserved demeanor was far beyond that of an ordinary supreme being.

Such a person can only be treated with sincerity and cannot be forced. At present, his strength is weak, but that should only be temporary. Since he has made up his mind to befriend the person in front of him, he must know his limits.
