The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

"What you say is true, senior. In this world, few Sword Emperors can resist the temptation to travel to the Great Thousand World."

"That's why I've been able to cultivate so smoothly and achieve what I have today."

Ye Feng nodded, responding readily.

Since entering the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, his cultivation has been smooth sailing. He has no enemies to speak of, and the sect's two inheritance spaces have become places for him to cultivate in seclusion.

The direct reason for his treatment was that he carried the hope of this world to reach the Great Thousand World. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was cultivating for the Burning Heaven Sword Sect and even the Sword Continent.

"Young friend, you are too modest. Even if your talent is outstanding and you have the strength you have today, it is inseparable from your hard work and effort every day. However, judging from what you said, it seems that you are treated very well in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect."

"Jiang Qingcang and the others have kept the news tightly under wraps. If it weren't for your personal visit today, the three of us probably wouldn't have known that the Sword Continent would once again offer hope for traveling to the Great Thousand Worlds."

Lin Tianhe shook his head, looking at Ye Feng with admiration.

Then Lin Tianhe changed the subject, a different meaning flashing in his eyes, and looked Ye Feng up and down.

"Young friend, you are quite young; I wonder if you are ready for marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter.

It seems that the sect leader of the Nine Separation Sword Sect has the same idea as Su Zhen and the others.

All of this stems from the future he may represent. Furthermore, even if he cannot travel to the Great Thousand World in the future, with his current strength, no Sword Emperor in this world would be willing to offend him.

"I have been married for many years."

Ye Feng gave a clear response.

"That's not a problem. With your strength, young friend, it's only natural for you to take several wives and concubines. I have a granddaughter who is quite beautiful and talented. If you don't mind, you can take her back to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect."

Lin Tianhe was not disappointed by Ye Feng's answer, and instead directly expressed his own thoughts.

In the Sword Continent, it is not considered wrong for the strong to have three wives and four concubines, while ordinary and weak people choose only one person to live out their lives.

Given the talent and strength displayed by the person before him, even his most favored granddaughter would only be qualified to be his concubine.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianhe stared intently at Ye Feng, waiting for a response. The two Supreme Elders of the Nine Swords Sect beside him also nodded slightly, clearly pleased with the outcome.

"I appreciate your kindness, senior, but right now, improving my strength is the most important thing."

Ye Feng remained calm and politely declined with a cupped hand.

Few men wouldn't be attracted to a beautiful woman, but at this crucial juncture, he had no such thoughts. He had come to the Nine Swords Sect solely to break through to the peak of the Sword Emperor realm.

There's no need to forge a relationship with the Nine Swords Sect through marriage. Things are different now; compared to when he first faced Su Zhen, he has the right to refuse.

Furthermore, if he likes a woman, he will take the initiative to speak to her; otherwise, no matter who tries to persuade him, his answer will be the same as long as it does not involve any interests.

"Haha, I was being presumptuous."

Seeing Ye Feng's refusal, Lin Tianhe was not annoyed, but instead laughed heartily.

"With your talent and strength, young friend, you must have no shortage of beautiful women by your side. It is unnecessary for me to do this."

As he spoke, the admiration in Lin Tianhe's eyes deepened.

The person before me is young yet possesses extraordinary strength and a calm demeanor. He is focused on improving his abilities and can even directly reject temptations of beauty. No wonder such a person can possess the strength of a late-stage Sword Empress at such a young age.

"You're very kind, senior..."

Ye Feng smiled modestly.

"In that case, I will say no more. If you are interested in the future, the doors of my Nine Separation Sword Sect will always be open to you."

Lin Tianhe added, his smile undiminished.

Ye Feng's refusal may have been due to unfavorable timing. If the two were to meet again in the future, his granddaughter's beauty might just win her favor.

Such terrifying strength and limitless talent make it difficult to maintain a relationship based solely on verbal agreements.

Ye Feng smiled slightly, but didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he asked about the secret realm.

"Senior, when will we be able to enter the Nine Separations Secret Realm?"

"Anytime is fine, young friend, please follow me."

Seeing that Ye Feng's mind was entirely focused on improving his strength, Lin Tianhe smiled, got up and left without saying anything more.

Seeing this, Ye Feng followed closely behind, a sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

The Sword Emperor's perfection is just around the corner!

Before long, under Lin Tianhe's guidance, Ye Feng and Lin Tianhe arrived at the depths of the Jiuli Mountains.

Before the entrance to a valley sealed by layers of ancient sword formations, space was faintly distorted, and a vast and ancient wave emanated from it.

"This is the entrance to the Nine Separation Secret Realm."

Lin Tianhe glanced at Ye Feng, pointed at the distorted space, and looked solemn.

The Nine Separation Secret Realm is the sacred ground of their Nine Separation Sword Sect, and this is the first time in so many years that outsiders have been allowed to enter it.

Ye Feng nodded slightly, probed into it with his divine sense, and sensed the vast and boundless energy fluctuations, which put his mind at ease.

The energy required for a mid-stage Sword Emperor to break through to the peak of Sword Emperor is extremely large, and the Nine Separation Secret Realm, this inheritance space, can just meet his needs.

"Thank you for your help, senior and the Nine Depart Sword Sect."

Ye Feng bowed deeply.

"No need to be so polite, we will be here waiting for your good news, young friend."

Lin Tianhe waved his hand, showing no hesitation on his face.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

The person before him was not only a member of the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, but also the hope of the Sword Continent. If it were any other top power, they would surely make the same choice.

They would do anything to gather the power of an entire continent and cultivate a Sword Emperor.

Only in this way can one truly benefit oneself in the end.

"Um…"

Ye Feng nodded, took a light breath, and then lightly stepped into the distorted space.

Upon entering the secret realm, the scene before Ye Feng's eyes changed completely.

What appeared before Ye Feng was a blue world. The sky was filled with flowing blue clouds, and on the ground, countless blue light spots formed by the condensation of energy floated and spread. Being in it was as if one was in an ocean of light.

At the very center of this space, nine towering azure sword peaks, each a thousand feet high, stand majestically, arranged in a nine-palace formation. Each peak slowly emits and exhales boundless energy, interconnected to form a natural sword array.

"The Nine Realms Secret Realm truly lives up to its name."

Ye Feng's gaze swept across the space, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

In terms of the purity and richness of energy, this place is in no way inferior to the Burning Heaven Ancient Realm, and may even surpass it in some aspects. In particular, the great formation formed by the nine sword peaks makes the energy here circulate endlessly.

Chi Chi!

Not long after Ye Feng stepped into this space, ripples appeared in the surrounding space, and the entrance to the secret realm slowly closed.

Without hesitation, Ye Feng moved and immediately rushed towards the central area of ​​the nine sword peaks.
