The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

"Gengjin Sword Technique, a top-grade sword technique. When activated, it can amplify one's sword energy by 20% for a short period of time..."

"..."

"Great Devouring Heaven Technique, Spirit-Grade Sword Technique!"

"It can accelerate the absorption of energy from heaven and earth. The cultivation speed is related to individual talent, physique, and comprehension of sword techniques. Upon mastery, it can form an energy vortex..."

"..."

"Heavenly Radiance Spiritual Technique, Spirit-Grade Sword Technique!"

"This ancient, inherited sword technique, once mastered, can increase energy absorption speed fivefold. However, only those at the Sword Soul Realm or above can cultivate it, and their Sword Soul must be at least Earth-level!"

"..."

"The Blazing Heaven Technique, Upper Part, a Spirit-grade sword technique. After cultivation, Blazing Heaven Sword Qi is generated within the body..."

"..."

"As expected of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, they actually have so many sword techniques stored up, and most of them are at the spirit-grade level. Truly remarkable..."

After flipping through several of the sword manuals on the jade shelf, Ye Feng was so shocked that he couldn't express his admiration.

In imperial territories like Dali and Tianfeng, let alone spirit-grade sword techniques, even high-grade sword techniques would cause countless forces to fight tooth and nail for them.

During his previous experiences in the Great Li Dynasty, he had personally witnessed how a single mid-grade sword manual led to a bloody battle between two powerful families in a city, only to be ultimately exploited and destroyed by someone else.

The rarity of sword techniques is unimaginable on the Sword Continent. The reason he can see so many and is even having some difficulty choosing is simply because he is now a true disciple of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect.

If he hadn't met Su Zhen before, he would probably have been overjoyed by even a mid-to-high-grade sword manual.

"You've never seen anything like this before..."

Seeing Ye Feng's incredibly shocked and hesitant face, Su Qingxue gently curled her red lips and muttered something.

"This is nothing compared to you, young lady. You've been in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect for so long, you probably don't know how much people outside crave sword techniques."

Ye Feng had very keen ears, and after hearing what Su Qingxue said, a hint of self-mockery appeared on his lips.

Realizing she had said something inappropriate, Su Qingxue's pretty face showed a slight unease as she looked at Ye Feng with her beautiful eyes.

"You can choose a true disciple once a month. If you find one that suits your taste, you can come back next time..."

Ye Feng nodded and let out a soft breath.

"Let's take another look, that way we won't have to look for it again next time we come."

The Burning Heaven Sword Sect's strength far exceeded his expectations, so much so that he hesitated greatly during this first selection, unsure of what to choose.

However, Su Qingxue's words reminded him that he only had one chance to come here once a month, and if he found a sword technique he liked, he could come back next month to take it.

Su Qingxue nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, then parted her red lips and began to tell Ye Feng about the secrets of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.

"Actually, there are five more layers above this fourth layer, and the sword techniques and skills in them are all at the Immortal level, which are the highest level sword techniques in our Sword Continent."

"But to obtain sword techniques of that level, one must pass the tests of each level's guardians; each level is a special space."

"These guardians are similar to sword puppets, but their strength varies from person to person. Over the years, only a handful of people in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect have been able to obtain immortal-grade sword techniques and skills from them. If you are not satisfied with this fourth level, you can also enter it to try."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's heart trembled slightly, and he murmured, "A Celestial-grade Sword Technique, Guardian..."

"Hmm, very strong. If I fail the challenge, it will probably affect my training for several months."

A hint of longing unconsciously appeared in Su Qingxue's beautiful eyes.

"We'll talk about that later. For now, this fourth level of sword technique is sufficient."

Ye Feng composed himself and then continued to peruse the sword manuals stored on the jade shelf one by one.

"The Mountain and River Suppressing Leap Technique solidifies the quality of sword energy, enhancing its weight and imposing presence, giving it a powerful, overwhelming force in combat..."

"..."

"Hmm...this is it."

"The Pure Yang Profound Yin Record... A dual cultivation sword technique that complements Yin and Yang, harmonizing the sword energy of both parties and greatly improving cultivation efficiency. It is especially suitable for people with complementary constitutions such as Pure Yang, Pure Yin, Lesser Yin, and Profound Ice to cultivate together..."

Ye Feng flipped through the book one after another, his eyes gradually shifting from initial shock and joy to indifference. However, when he came across the "Pure Yang Profound Yin Record," he stopped and gave Su Qingxue a strange look.

Noticing Ye Feng's strange gaze, Su Qingxue frowned slightly, her fair and beautiful face showing a hint of confusion as she slowly walked over.

"Pah, at such a young age, they're already setting a bad example..."

Upon seeing the sword technique in Ye Feng's hand, Su Qingxue's frosty, jade-like face instantly flushed red. She spat under her breath and glared at Ye Feng with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.

Ye Feng shrugged helplessly. Although he was a little embarrassed, he did not panic. Instead, he looked at Su Qingxue thoughtfully, his voice carrying a hint of teasing.

"Don't you think this dual cultivation sword technique is practically a creation made just for the two of us?"

It was only a matter of time before things got between him and Su Qingxue, and dual cultivation could improve his strength, especially for his unique physique that encompassed all aspects, and the same would be true for Su Qingxue.

Therefore, he had no reason not to cultivate this technique, and the woman before him was the same.

"Ye Feng, listen to me clearly. Even if Grandpa and Father have arranged our relationship, if I don't like you, no amount of coercion will change that."

"At most, all you'll get is a corpse, so don't get any ideas before I'm ready."

Su Qingxue forcibly suppressed her embarrassment, her expression returning to its coldness, her words carrying a hint of warning.

Seeing Su Qingxue's fierce but weak appearance, Ye Feng's playful expression remained unchanged, and he found it somewhat amusing.

"I was just saying, why are you reacting so strongly..."

"Moreover, it is clearly you who suffers from a hidden ailment caused by Yin energy, and you need me to resolve it. How did it become that I have ulterior motives?"

Su Qingxue was slightly taken aback. Looking at Ye Feng's somewhat disdainful gaze, the taut string in her heart inexplicably loosened a little.

"Then why have you been watching this dual cultivation sword technique all this time..."

Su Qingxue retorted instinctively, revealing the turmoil in her heart.

She had flipped through this Pure Yang Profound Yin Record once a year ago, and at the time she thought it was just an ordinary record. But now, it seemed as if it really was prepared for her and Ye Feng.

Their special physique makes practicing this sword technique very beneficial to improving their strength, but it's also quite shameful.

"According to the Supreme Elder, my physique allows me to improve my strength through dual cultivation. If you're unwilling, then I should find another woman..."

Ye Feng drawled, a playful smile on his handsome face, watching Su Qingxue's reaction.

Having come to this vast world, he has no intention of being faithful to one person for life. In the future, when he has achieved success in his cultivation, beauties will be an indispensable part of his long and endless life.
