The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

"What do you think, young friend?"

Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly. Without taking out the two unknown items obtained from the spiritual treasure, the price was higher than he had expected.

"Can."

Without much hesitation, Ye Feng immediately nodded in agreement.

The cultivation methods of divine arts and supreme Dharma bodies can be backed up and exchanged, which is a worthwhile deal.

Under normal circumstances, few people would reveal their prized secrets to the public. What he exchanged were not his own cultivation methods, but rather those obtained from the Spirit Treasure Land.

He owes his current success to those supreme beings in the Spirit Treasury who had designs on him.

Gu Yun nodded slightly, raised his hand and waved it, and a mustard seed bracelet flew out from his sleeve and landed on the table.

"This contains four thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid. Please examine it, young friend."

Ye Feng took the mustard seed bracelet, probed it with his spiritual power, sensed it briefly, and then nodded and put it away.

"If you need anything else, young friend, you are welcome to visit my Shengbao Pavilion at any time."

Gu Yun smiled and said, a meaningful glint flashing in his sharp old eyes.

Many of the items he is selling this time belong to supreme experts from the nearby continent, such as the Sea Sea Dharma Body and the minor divine technique of the Falling Yellow Divine Palm.

Such a young supreme expert is definitely not a simple person.

"Does the ancients know what this thing is?"

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and waved it, and a crystal-clear jade box appeared on the table.

The moment the jade box was opened, a delicate and unique fragrance wafted out, instantly invigorating the senses.

Inside the box lay a greenish-red fruit, about the size of a baby's fist, its skin translucent and its interior adorned with golden veins, as if it were alive.

This is one of the two unknown spiritual objects that Ye Feng obtained from the Supreme Spiritual Treasury.

Gu Yun's gaze fell on the green and red fruit, his old eyes narrowed slightly, and then he examined it carefully.

After a moment, Gu Yun raised his head, his expression becoming more serious.

"I didn't expect you to have such a good thing. This is called the Azure Vermilion Fruit. It is an extremely rare natural treasure. Its growth conditions are extremely harsh. It needs to absorb the fire of the earth's veins and the power of the cold spring to mature."

"Taking this can temper the physical body and enhance spiritual power, allowing those below the Supreme level to break through bottlenecks and advance to the Supreme level. Its effects are even better than the Supreme Pill."

"If this item were auctioned, it could fetch at least two thousand drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid."

Upon hearing Gu Yun's introduction, Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, and he was secretly delighted.

Two thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid—that's no small amount; it's equivalent to two years' worth of tribute from the Golden Palace Merchant Guild.

"Thank you for informing me, Elder..."

Ye Feng bowed in thanks and put the Azure Vermilion Fruit back into his Mustard Seed Bracelet.

He now has over six thousand drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, enough to meet his needs for breaking through to the second rank of Supreme cultivation, so there is no need to rush to sell it.

The world is full of wonders and treasures, but spiritual items that can help break through bottlenecks are rare. If there is no urgent need for the Supreme Spiritual Liquid, it is not unreasonable to save it for those around us to use later.

"If I am not mistaken, young friend, you come from the Spiritual Treasury Land of the Coastal Continent?"

Seeing Ye Feng retract the Azure Vermilion Fruit, Gu Yun stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes filled with a hint of speculation.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's gaze sharpened slightly, then he smiled calmly.

"Your wisdom is truly remarkable; I have indeed just returned from there."

As a top-tier business guild in the Tai Xuan Continent, Sheng Bao Ge is well-informed and will be the first to know about any developments in the surrounding continents.

He came from the Land of Spirits and is selling so many things that he can't hide it from us unless he goes to a more distant continent, which would undoubtedly be a waste of time.

"To be able to escape unscathed from such a dangerous place, young friend, your strength is truly extraordinary."

"Young friend, rest assured, Shengbao Pavilion will not disclose the information about the item you offered to anyone. This is our rule."

Gu Yun looked at Ye Feng with considerable approval and made his assurance.

"It's just luck. I certainly trust Shengbaoge's reputation..."

Ye Feng shook his head and smiled, responding in a serious tone.

His choice of Shengbaoge was naturally based on the considerations Gu Yun mentioned. If it were an ordinary force, he wouldn't rashly offer some items in exchange for the Supreme Spirit Liquid.

"You're too modest, young friend."

Gu Yun's eyes were lined with deep wrinkles as he chuckled.

After news of the Supreme Spiritual Treasury on the Linhai Continent spread, many Supreme experts from surrounding continents traveled there, including some of the third and fourth rank Supreme experts.

The person before him, with the mere strength of a first-grade supreme being, was able to obtain such a valuable item, and showed no fear whatsoever in front of him, a second-grade supreme being. This could not be explained by mere luck.

"Anyone who sells more than a thousand Supreme Spirit Liquids is a distinguished guest of my Shengbao Pavilion. May I ask your name, young friend?"

Gu Yun asked another question.

"Ye Feng".

Ye Feng spoke calmly, giving his name.

It shouldn't be long before news about the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce and him reaches this Shengbao Pavilion. He told Gu Yun in front of him that there was no harm in it.

The Golden Palace Supreme, a seventh-grade Supreme expert, still holds considerable power in the surrounding continents, serving as a backdrop for him.

"Ye Feng..."

Gu Yun frowned, a thoughtful look flashing in his old eyes.

"If there's nothing else, Ye Feng will take his leave now."

Ye Feng cupped his hands in greeting and immediately prepared to turn and leave.

"Young friend, this is Shengbaoge's VIP token. With this token, you can enjoy a 10% discount on transactions at Shengbaoge in the future."

Gu Yun raised his hand and waved, and a crystal-clear jade tablet engraved with the words "Sheng Bao" flew out from his sleeve and landed in front of Ye Feng.

Thank you.

Ye Feng took the jade pendant and put it into his mustard seed bracelet, then did not linger any longer.

"Such a young supreme expert could not possibly be an unknown figure in the surrounding continents. Once news arrives from the surrounding continents, there will surely be some answers."

"However, regardless, it's worth getting to know such a promising young person..."

Watching Ye Feng leave, Gu Yun stroked his beard, his eyes gleaming.

……

After leaving Shengbaoge, Ye Feng did not rush to find a place to cultivate. Instead, he strolled around Taixuan City and soon arrived in front of a magnificent building.

The building occupies a vast area, reaching a height of a thousand feet, and is entirely constructed of jade, gleaming faintly in the sunlight.

Above the lintel hangs a plaque with the four large characters "Tai Xuan Ling Yuan" written on it, resembling a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching, faintly revealing a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy.

At this moment, the gates of the Spirit Academy were wide open, and young students were coming and going from time to time, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

"Tai Xuan Ling Yuan..."

Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, his gaze thoughtful.

In this vast world, spiritual academies are not uncommon; there is one almost every few continents, making them the best choice for ordinary people to cultivate and become stronger.

Compared to the ancient races and top powers of the Great Thousand World, such forces are nothing special; they are merely ordinary.

Even the five most powerful academies are nothing special, far inferior to the forces controlled by some Earthly Sovereigns.

"It seems Chu Yue hasn't returned from the Linhai Continent yet. She'll probably break through to the Second Grade Supreme Realm on the Taixuan Continent first..."

As he slowly calmed his mind, a resolute look appeared on Ye Feng's handsome face. With a flash, he headed out of Tai Xuan City.

Breaking through to the second-grade Supreme realm is not something that can be achieved overnight. He needs to go into seclusion for a period of time, and the vast, deep mountains outside Tai Xuan City are a good place for cultivation.

With cultivation resources like Supreme Spiritual Liquid, is there any need for a spirit array?

Ten thousand miles east of Tai Xuan City.

A vast, undulating mountain range stretches across the sky and earth. Deep within the mountains, ancient trees reach for the sky, clouds and mist swirl, and it is a place rarely visited by humans.

Ye Feng stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the towering mountains below, finally settling on a secluded valley.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and backed by sheer cliffs, the valley is filled with babbling brooks, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, making it a rare and tranquil place.

"This place is nice, let's keep it here."

Ye Feng landed in the valley, raised his hand and waved it, and several beams of spiritual energy sword light shot out, carving out a simple cave on the cliff.

"Supreme Elixir, what a wonderful thing..."

Upon entering the cave, Ye Feng sat cross-legged, his gaze falling on the mustard seed bracelet on his wrist, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

With the Supreme Spiritual Liquid, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy will be greatly accelerated, far surpassing the speed of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth. His strength, which has not improved since the Sword Continent, can finally make a breakthrough.

"Let's begin..."

Ye Feng took a deep breath, then raised his hand and waved it. Dozens of jade bottles filled with Supreme Spirit Liquid flew out from the Mustard Seed Bracelet and floated neatly in mid-air.

The moment the bottle was opened, a surge of pure and vast spiritual energy spread out, filling the entire cave with this rich energy and forming a thick fog filled with spiritual light.

boom!

As Ye Feng formed the cultivation hand seals, a terrifying suction force erupted from his body in an instant. The supreme spiritual liquid in dozens of jade bottles boiled simultaneously, transforming into torrents of pure spiritual energy that continuously flowed into Ye Feng's body.

In a short moment, Ye Feng's body seemed to transform into a bottomless pit, greedily devouring the Supreme Spiritual Liquid surging into his body.

The spiritual energy entered his body and circulated through his meridians, flesh, and bones. Under the absorption and refinement of Ye Feng's unique seven-colored spiritual energy, it continuously tempered every corner of his body, eventually flowing into the Supreme Sea and becoming a part of Ye Feng's body.

Within the Supreme Sea, the vast ocean of spiritual energy began to surge, rapidly expanding as the Supreme Spiritual Liquid continuously infused its spiritual power.

Time slipped away quietly in this silent valley.

Three months later in the blink of an eye.

Inside the cave, Ye Feng sat cross-legged, motionless like a rock, but the spiritual energy fluctuations around him were several times stronger than they had been three months ago.

At this moment, within Ye Feng's Supreme Sea, vast spiritual energy surged continuously, radiating astonishing pressure.

In the center of the ocean of spiritual energy, the little divine soul figure that looked exactly like Ye Feng was becoming increasingly bright, much more perfect than before.

"Has the spiritual energy finally reached saturation...?"

Ye Feng's mind sensed the sinking into his body, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After three months of cultivation, he could feel the saturation emanating from the Supreme Sea within his body.

"Has the spiritual energy finally reached saturation...?"

Ye Feng's mind sensed the sinking into his body, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After three months of cultivation, he could feel the saturation emanating from the Supreme Sea within his body.

In this vast world, the spiritual power of supreme experts is so immense that only an internal space like the Supreme Sea can contain it.

However, the Supreme Sea is not infinite; it can only expand as its own strength increases.

Therefore, if he wants to absorb the spiritual power from the Supreme Spirit Liquid again to strengthen himself, then he can only choose to break through to the second-grade Supreme level.

"Second-Rank Supreme..."

Inside the cave, Ye Feng slowly clenched his fist, feeling the immense spiritual power surging within his body like a vast ocean, and couldn't help but exhale a breath of stale air.

This power enhancement brings It was truly captivating, a experience he had only had since the Sword Continent.

He believes this is just the beginning.

"break..."

Ye Feng let out a low shout, his hands forming a seal. The already saturated spiritual energy in the Supreme Sea suddenly boiled over, frantically converging towards the center of the Supreme Sea.

That is the supreme source point.

Each breakthrough by a supreme expert requires sufficient spiritual power to impact the supreme source point, enabling it to undergo transformation, thereby expanding the space and accommodating more spiritual power.

The more spiritual energy one stores, the stronger one becomes.

Rumble!

Within the Supreme Sea, churning and roaring, the vast spiritual energy, like an ancient ferocious beast awakened, continuously impacted the Supreme Origin Point, generating bursts of booming sounds.

With each impact, a muffled roar would resound from Ye Feng's body, causing him to tremble, veins to bulge on his forehead, and large beads of sweat to roll down his face.

However, Ye Feng's expression remained resolute as he steadfastly maintained his focus, guiding his spiritual energy to surge forward again and again.

The Supreme Ninth Rank is not easy to break through at each rank. It is not only limited by resources, but also by bottlenecks and requires talent.

In addition, they also need to endure tremendous painful training.

This is why there is such a huge difference between each level of supreme powerhouse. Fortunately, he did not feel any spiritual power bottleneck. It seems that his talent is top-notch in this vast world.

"Break it!"

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Feng suddenly opened his eyes, and a deep shout came from deep in his throat.

boom!

In an instant, a deafening roar resounded within the Supreme Sea, and the Supreme Origin Point broke free of its original constraints, suddenly bursting forth with a dazzling light.

A surge of spiritual energy, far more powerful and vast than before, erupted from Ye Feng's body, transforming into a pillar of spiritual energy that pierced through the cave and soared into the sky!

"Second-Rank Supreme!"

Ye Feng clenched his fists, feeling the spiritual power within his body that was several times stronger than before, and a smile appeared on his lips.

After three months and absorbing nearly four thousand drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, he finally broke through to the second-grade Supreme level.

At this moment, his strength has increased many times over compared to three months ago. Even when facing a fourth-grade supreme expert, he can still hold his own with his many trump cards.

"After learning some information from the Tai Xuan Ling Academy, I will head to the Western Desert Continent."

Ye Feng slowly stood up, his gaze slightly thoughtful, and he had already made up his mind.

This breakthrough in spiritual power greatly enhanced his strength, but without cultivating the Supreme Dharma Body, he was still at a significant disadvantage in battles.

If it weren't for having trump cards like the Blazing Fire Sword, going to the Western Desert Continent alone to target the Blazing Fire Essence guarded by a fourth-grade supreme spirit beast would be tantamount to courting death.

Even when fighting against a second-rank supreme being, one must employ numerous techniques.

To resolve this situation once and for all, the only solution this time is to collect the essence of the Blazing Fire, gather the Supreme Spiritual Liquid as soon as possible, and cultivate the Blazing Fire Profound Sword Body.
