The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

"Xue is two years older than you and possesses the Xuanbing Sword Body. Her current strength is at the early stage of the Sword Transformation Realm. In a year or two, she will be able to cultivate to the late stage of the Sword Transformation Realm."

"At that time, the two of you can get married. You can use the pure Yang sword energy to nourish the sword meridian in her body, heal her injuries, and help her condense her sword soul in one fell swoop."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly taken aback, but couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before reaching the Sword King Realm, the Primordial Yang Body slightly improved his cultivation speed. Given his innate physique, this effect might not be significant, but it was always good to have a faster cultivation speed.

Now that there's no need to do that right away, his strength might improve significantly within the next year or two by cultivating in a place with abundant energy like the Burning Heaven Sword Sect.

"I have no right to refuse this matter; I will follow your instructions, senior."

Ye Feng responded tactfully, but the upturned corners of his mouth and the joy in his eyes seemed impossible to conceal.

A person should know his own limitations. Although Su Zhen values ​​him highly and has high hopes for him, it does not mean that he can be reckless in front of him.

He was quite satisfied with the fact that the matter with Su Zhen's granddaughter didn't need to be carried out immediately and could be put on hold for the time being. Therefore, he didn't need to dwell on it and agreed to it first.

"hehe…"

Seeing Ye Feng's expression, Su Zhen immediately understood the reason and laughed.

"The loss of primordial yang is irrelevant to the innate sword body. That's just a limitation and a way of saying it. Besides, you little guy only know one side of the story."

"It is true that the Pure Yang Sword Body can be replenished by women, and the dual cultivation method can enhance the strength of women. However, the practitioner will also gain something. Compared to the speed of improvement of the Pure Yang Sword Qi, the strength improved through the power of dual cultivation is considerable."

"When I was sixteen, I slept with seven women in one night. You're far inferior to me in that respect."

Su Zhen stroked his beard, a mischievous smile flashing in his eyes, as if recalling his youthful and impetuous days.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's lips twitched almost imperceptibly, and he fell silent for a moment.

This Su Zhen really doesn't care about saving face at all in front of me, he can even say things like "I'll sleep with seven women in one night" so casually.

"Senior... your demeanor is far beyond my reach."

Ye Feng coughed lightly and forced a reply.

Sleeping with seven women in one night sounds appealing, but how addicted would one need to be to go that far?

"That was all in my youth. Now, women hold absolutely no appeal for this old man..."

Su Zhen completely ignored Ye Feng's somewhat strange gaze and smiled calmly.

His actions back then were also for the purpose of increasing his strength; there was nothing to hide about it.

Now that people are old and nearing the end of their lives, they no longer have the mind to indulge in such pleasures.

"You're right, senior."

Ye Feng echoed, silently flattering him.

He now understood why Su Zhen had suggested that he marry her as well; clearly, in Su Zhen's mind, having multiple wives and concubines was a perfectly normal thing.

"You brat, I'm telling you this so you won't feel like you're at a disadvantage. Although Xue'er's Xuanbing Sword Body is not as good as that Pure Yin Sword Body, it will still greatly improve your strength."

"She is my granddaughter, so I naturally hope you will treat her well in the future..."

Su Zhen's expression became much more serious, and his gaze fell on Ye Feng's face with the solemn entrustment of an elder.

Ye Feng sensed something, and the strange look on his face disappeared. He said solemnly, "Senior, rest assured, I will certainly live up to your expectations."

The help Su Zhen gave him alone was enough to make him do something wholeheartedly. Whether he liked Su Zhen's granddaughter or not, as long as she was willing, he shouldn't have any objections.

"I trust my judgment. Alright, you'll see Xue'er tomorrow. Don't come begging me to hasten your marriage then..."

"This is a communication jade slip. Keep it safe. If you need anything, simply use your spiritual sense to enter it and call upon me."

As Su Zhen joked, he tossed Ye Feng a palm-sized crimson jade slip. The jade was warm and smooth, slightly warm to the touch, and its surface shimmered with a faint glow.

Ye Feng took it and, with a slight probe of his divine sense, sensed the fluctuations in Su Zhen's aura.

"I understand, sir."

"Um."

Su Zhen nodded, said no more, and with a flicker of his figure, disappeared from the courtyard as if he had never been there.

Holding the jade slip, Ye Feng sensed the faint spatial fluctuations contained within it, gaining a deeper understanding of the power of the Sword Emperor Realm.

Breaking through the void, transmitting messages across distances—these are all techniques that ordinary cultivators do not possess, and he is still extremely far from reaching that level.

"Sigh, this old man, he's been talking for so long, but he still hasn't said what his granddaughter's name is..."

"Never mind, we'll see tomorrow. Let's cultivate for a bit now and see the effects of this energy-rich place..."

...

Lihuo Peak.

A majestic and ancient hall stands atop the mountain peak, constructed entirely of crimson crystal. Under the sunlight, it shimmers with a scorching glow, as if the entire hall is quietly burning.

This is the core and most important place of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect's Li Huo Peak, the Li Huo Hall.

At this moment, sitting on the main seat in the hall was a middle-aged man dressed in a white robe, whose aura was as deep and profound as the sea.

He was none other than Su Xuan, the current peak master of the Li Huo Peak of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, a powerful figure who had reached the late stage of the Sword King realm.

"Um…"

Suddenly, Su Xuan frowned.

The next moment, ripples spread through the space inside the hall, and an old and majestic figure slowly emerged.

The person who came was none other than Su Zhen, who had just left Ye Feng's place.

"Father, what brings you here?"

Su Xuan immediately stood up, bowed respectfully, and said with slight surprise.

Over the years, his father has rarely come to Li Huo Peak. There are not many things in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect that can concern him anymore.

Normally, it's the son who takes the initiative to visit and exchange words.

Su Zhen did not reply. He calmly walked to a chair and sat down, taking a sip of the spiritual tea that had been prepared beforehand.

"Father, what have you gained from your recent travels? Did the Great Li Dynasty discover any ancient ruins?"

Su Xuan walked up to Su Zhen, and asked him with some curiosity.

It is obvious that the relationship between father and son is not bad, and Su Zhen did not hide some things from Su Xuan, including his own movements.

"Ancient ruins are not so easy to find."

Su Zhen shook his head, put down his teacup, and looked at Su Xuan.

"I have come here to tell you something."

"What is it?"

Seeing his father Su Zhen's solemn expression, Su Xuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"I've arranged a marriage for Xueya."

Su Zhen's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable air of authority.

"marriage?"
