The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Easily access Cola Novels and enjoy reading thousands of great books, including "The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane".

On the high platform, a glint flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. He appeared calm, but his thoughts were racing, and he had already made a decision.

He still had two hundred drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid. It was unlikely that he could exchange them for a valuable spiritual item like the Essence of Departing Fire, but it would be easy to use them to find out information about the Essence of Departing Fire. In fact, he wouldn't even need that many drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

Two hundred drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid may not seem like much, but given the extremely slow condensation speed of a First-Rank Supreme, it represents a very large resource.

Today, regardless of whether he has obtained the Essence of the Blazing Fire, he must leave the Golden Palace Merchant Guild and go out to seek some opportunities.

While staying at the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth can certainly improve one's strength, the cultivation speed is too slow. However, using the Supreme Spiritual Liquid can save a lot of time.

Furthermore, these indispensable cultivation resources are key to successfully cultivating the Blazing Fire Sword Body.

Without a sufficient quantity of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, even if he obtained the Essence of Departing Fire, he would not be able to successfully cultivate it.

The higher the ranking of the Supreme Dharma Body, the more spiritual power it needs to be infused during cultivation. The Blazing Fire Sword Body is a part of the original Dharma Body such as the Myriad Swords Body of the Profound Heaven, so the Supreme Spiritual Liquid required must be considerable.

If you want to obtain a large amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid, you can't waste time here. Fallen Sword Continent is only a small to medium-sized continent with limited resources, which have already been divided up by various forces. Therefore, it is not advisable to stay here for long.

Traveling to larger continents, or relying on their own prescient information channels, to make reasonable plans and seize opportunities, is imperative.

"Elder Ye, let's go over there too."

Cheng Mu greeted him with a smile and took the lead, heading towards a grand hall deep within the auction house.

Ye Feng nodded slightly and followed closely behind.

A moment later, the two arrived at a lavishly decorated hall.

The main hall was about a hundred feet in circumference, and its four walls were inlaid with luminous pearls, which cast a soft light that illuminated the entire hall.

At this moment, more than twenty figures had taken their seats in the hall, each exuding the aura of a supreme expert.

Ye Feng's gaze swept across the crowd, taking in all of them.

He had never met these supreme experts before, but he was already familiar with their auras from the previous auction.

Most of the Supreme beings who came to Golden Palace City to participate in the Golden Palace Auction this time were between the first and third ranks, with only two possessing powerful auras at the fourth rank Supreme level.

As for fifth-grade supreme beings and those at or above that level, none of them appeared.

The Supreme Realm is divided into nine ranks, with the fifth rank being a watershed. People at this level can break through the spatial barriers of the Great Thousand Worlds, and their strength has undergone a qualitative improvement, far surpassing that of ordinary Supremes.

"Young friend Ye Feng, you have already reached the Supreme Realm at such a young age, which is truly admirable."

A gentle voice came from behind. Ye Feng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a white robe smiling at him. Beside him sat an old woman with white hair who was leaning on a cane with a snake head.

"These two are elders of the Falling Sword Sect, Supreme Luo Jiu and Supreme Lian Po."

Cheng Mu, who was standing to the side, introduced Ye Feng with a smile.

"You flatter me, sir. Ye Feng is merely a beginner in this realm and is nothing special."

Ye Feng returned the greeting with a cupped hand, displaying a humble attitude.

He could sense that both of them were at the third-grade supreme level, while this Luo Jiu supreme was probably already at the threshold of the fourth-grade supreme, which put considerable pressure on him.

"Haha, young friend, there's no need to be modest. To be able to reach the Supreme level at your age is a rare feat in our Fallen Sword Continent."

"I really don't know where the Golden Palace Merchant Guild recruited this young friend. It's a pity that my Falling Sword Sect failed to encounter him."

The middle-aged man in the white robe laughed loudly, his voice filled with envy and curiosity about Ye Feng.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that the Falling Sword Sect would dare to target the Golden Sword Merchant Guild in Golden Sword City. It seems that there will be no place for us to stay in the Falling Sword Continent in the future."

Just then, a sinister voice rang out at an inopportune moment, shattering the brief harmony.

Following the sound, they saw an old man in a blood-red robe with a sinister face slowly walk into the main hall.

The old man exuded a cold aura, and his triangular eyes revealed a ruthless glint. His gaze swept over Ye Feng with a scrutinizing look.

"Blood Fiend Supreme, it's been many years, and your mouth is still as repulsive as ever."

Luo Jiu's expression turned cold, and he retorted without any politeness.

"Hmph, do you think I need to take care of your Falling Sword Sect when I speak?"

Blood Fiend Supreme snorted coldly, his gaze fixed on Ye Feng, his eyes flashing.

On the Fallen Sword Continent, the Fallen Sword Sect is troublesome, and the Golden Palace Merchant Guild is also a formidable enemy. If Blood Fiend Valley wants to unify the Fallen Sword Continent, these two major forces must be eradicated completely.

The fact that the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce now has such a young supreme being is not a good thing.

"You have all traveled a long way, and our Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce is deeply honored. We have prepared a small feast to welcome you."

As everyone's attention was focused on the two supreme beings of the Falling Sword Sect and the Blood Fiend Valley, an old man appeared out of thin air on the main seat of the hall, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting to everyone.

The old man was dressed in a long black robe, with a kind face and warm eyes. Although he did not have an overwhelming aura of power, he had a calm and composed demeanor.

"President Tianmao, you're too kind."

"We are extremely honored to be personally greeted by a fifth-grade supreme expert like yourself."

Everyone stood up to return the greeting, their attitude quite respectful, without exception, whether it was the Supreme Being of Fallen Sword Valley or the Blood Fiend Supreme Being.

Tianmao Supreme, a fifth-grade Supreme, was one of the five Supreme experts Ye Feng had seen in the Chamber of Commerce before. He was the only Vice President of the Chamber of Commerce, second only to Jinque Supreme.

"Please, everyone, do not stand on ceremony and have a seat."

Supreme Tianmao waved his hand, signaling everyone to take their seats. Then, he turned his gaze to Ye Feng and smiled slightly.

"Ye Feng, sit here."

Noticing the special gaze of Supreme Tianmao, everyone in the hall turned their eyes to Ye Feng, their eyes filled with astonishment.

For someone like Tianmao Supreme, a fifth-grade Supreme expert, to value him so highly, Ye Feng is clearly no ordinary first-grade Supreme.

Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, then bowed respectfully and sat down beside Supreme Tianmao as instructed.

"Everyone, don't underestimate Ye Feng just because he's young. He's someone our leader values ​​highly."

Supreme Tianmao laughed loudly, his words carrying a warning to everyone. He made no attempt to hide the importance he placed on Ye Feng.

"Ye Feng greets everyone."

Ye Feng stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to the crowd, and maintained a humble yet assertive attitude.

"Elder Ye, you're too kind."

"As expected, heroes emerge from among the young. To have reached the Supreme Realm at such a young age, his future is limitless."

"..."

Everyone returned the greetings and exchanged pleasantries, but each had their own agenda.

For the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce to value him so highly, and for a seventh-grade Supreme expert like Golden Palace Supreme to take notice of him, Ye Feng is definitely not to be underestimated.

"Alright, enough of the small talk. If any of you wish to trade, please bring it out. We will each take what we need."

Supreme Lord Tianmao waved his hand, indicating that everyone could begin.

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became lively.

"In that case, I will offer my humble opinion as a starting point."

An elderly man with white hair was the first to stand up and take something out of his mustard seed bracelet.

It was a fist-sized, dark green ore that emitted a faint green glow.

"This substance is called Azure Phosphorite, an excellent material for refining divine artifacts. I wish to exchange it for a drop of Jade Spirit Longevity Fruit. Does any of you possess such a substance?"

After the white-haired old man finished speaking, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, but no one responded.

The Jade Spirit Longevity Fruit is an extremely rare natural treasure that can increase one's lifespan by a hundred years. Its value is comparable to that of a piece of Azure Phosphorite. However, unless absolutely necessary, no one would trade such a lifespan-enhancing item.

While supreme powerhouses are indeed incredibly strong, their lifespans are not endless. Throughout the vast world, if all supreme powerhouses who have been born from ancient times to the present, excluding those who perished due to vendettas and wars, were alive and immortal, their numbers would be terrifying.

With such a large number of supreme beings, plus the earth supreme beings and heaven supreme beings above them, the rate at which they consume the spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be unimaginable. Although the Great Thousand World is vast and endless, it will gradually become overburdened and unable to bear the burden.

Therefore, due to this rule, even the most powerful beings, such as the Earthly Supreme and the Heavenly Supreme, find it difficult to achieve immortality.

In this vast world, there are no Heavenly Sovereigns who have existed since ancient times. The Heavenly Sovereigns with the longest lifespans are none other than the people of those divine beast races and the Undying Lord who guards the Northern Wilderness Hill.

And this is only less than 50,000 years at most, which may not be considered a long time in the vast world beyond.

"If there is a Jade Spirit Longevity Fruit, or other life-extending items, I would be willing to add another five thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, in addition to this..."

Seeing that no one responded, the white-haired old man steeled himself and raised the price.

If he cannot survive, these supreme spiritual liquids in his hands will be useless. Although a hundred years is a short time for a supreme expert, he may still be able to break through his own limits and extend his lifespan.

"Five thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, what a grand gesture..."

Ye Feng's gaze flickered slightly, and he sighed inwardly.

He could tell that although the white-haired old man's spiritual energy fluctuations indicated he was a powerful figure, he also exuded an aura of old age, clearly indicating that his lifespan was nearing its end.

The Supreme Ninth Rank: With each breakthrough, both strength and lifespan will be improved to a certain extent. However, not everyone can reach the highest realm without any obstacles.

Elders like Cheng Mu of the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce, after cultivating for hundreds of years, are only at the third-grade Supreme level, which is the norm for most Supreme experts in the Great Thousand World.

Just as everyone was greatly moved and secretly regretted that there was no item to prolong life, a deep voice rang out.

"I do have one Jade Spirit Longevity Fruit here."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gaunt old man in a gray robe slowly get up and take out a jade box from his mustard seed bracelet.

The moment the jade box was opened, a delicate fragrance wafted out, refreshing and delightful.

The moment the jade box was opened, a delicate fragrance wafted out, refreshing and delightful.

Inside the box lay a bright green fruit the size of a baby's fist, its skin translucent and revealing faint golden veins flowing within, making it seem almost alive.

"It truly is the Jade Spirit Longevity Fruit!"

The white-haired old man's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his breathing became more rapid. He quickly stood up and looked excitedly at the unfamiliar gray-robed old man.

He was familiar with the supreme experts of the Fallen Sword Continent and the surrounding continents, but he had never met this person before.

"If you give me this Jade Spirit Longevity Fruit, the Azure Phosphorite, and five thousand drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, I will present them to you immediately."

The gray-robed old man nodded, his gaze falling on the white-haired old man.

"Besides these things, I need you to answer one more question for me."

"question?"

The white-haired old man was startled for a moment, then came to his senses.

In this vast world, bartering is the most common practice, and gathering information and intelligence is also a frequent occurrence.

"I want to know, where did you get this piece of azure phosphorite in your hand?"

The old man in the gray robe had deep eyes, which concealed a hint of interest.

This Azure Phosphorite is not just a material for forging divine artifacts. In the places where it is produced, it is often accompanied by Azure Spirit Crystals formed by the convergence of the earth's veins. Consuming this substance can allow one's strength to break through bottlenecks rapidly.

He only learned of this secret by chance; ordinary supreme beings probably had never even heard of it.

Furthermore, even if this item cannot be found, five thousand drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid is still a worthwhile deal.

Faced with the gray-robed old man's question, the white-haired old man did not hide anything.

"I obtained this item thirty years ago from an ancient ruin on the Zhen Tian Continent. That ruin was extremely dangerous, and I barely escaped with my life on the line."

"The ancient ruins of the Zhen Tian Continent..."

A glint of light flashed in the gray-robed old man's eyes. He then nodded and handed the jade box in his hand to the white-haired old man.

"This Jade Spirit Longevity Fruit is yours."

The white-haired old man was overjoyed and quickly took the jade box, carefully putting it into his mustard seed bracelet. At the same time, he handed the five thousand drops of the Supreme Spirit Liquid from the Azure Phosphorite to the gray-robed old man.

"Thank you for your kind offer!"

The two completed the transaction and took their seats.

Ye Feng witnessed this scene and felt that he had broadened his horizons considerably.

"Ye Feng, is there anything you wish to trade?"

Tianmao Supreme looked at Ye Feng and smiled gently.

"I am new to this world and have nothing of value. This time, I only wish to inquire about a spiritual object."

Ye Feng shook his head and smiled frankly.

"Oh? What kind of spirit is it?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Tianmao Supreme's eyes.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth.

"What I want to inquire about is information regarding the essence of the Fire."

Upon hearing this, Supreme Tianmao pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"I saw the Essence of Blazing Fire at an auction in the Boundless Realm of the Eastern Region. It is the main ingredient for refining the Blazing Fire Divine Pill and is very valuable. A single piece of Blazing Fire Essence requires tens of thousands of drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid."

"The Divine Pill of Departing Fire can greatly enhance the strength of a supreme being, even allowing them to break through their original realm. Therefore, the main ingredient of such a elixir is extremely expensive."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in the depths of Ye Feng's eyes.

Tens of thousands of drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid—the price is high, but it's nothing for someone cultivating a Supreme Dharma Body like the Blazing Fire Sword Body.

"You're inquiring about the essence of the Fiery Blaze; perhaps you need this item?"

With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, Supreme Tianmao asked.

"Um…"

Ye Feng responded.

While Ye Feng was talking to Supreme Tianmao, several other people took out the items they wanted to trade, but most of them went unnoticed, and the few transactions that did occur were only a handful.

"Everyone, Ye Feng is willing to exchange one hundred drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid for news of the Essence of the Blazing Fire..."
