The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Moreover, he didn't really like this kind of forced marriage. A woman has to be someone you like; otherwise, she's just superfluous.

"That's easy, just marry them both."

The old man smiled and waved his hand, completely disregarding the reasons Ye Feng gave.

In the Sword Continent, it is common for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Since he is already engaged, he has no need to be the villain.

"this..."

Ye Feng was speechless for a moment and fell silent.

"Are you even a man? How can you hesitate about something so good? Don't worry, my granddaughter will make you happy."

Seeing Ye Feng remain silent, the gray-robed old man narrowed his eyes, a hint of sarcasm in them.

"Senior, what is the reason for your unwavering resolve?"

After a moment's hesitation, Ye Feng did not directly answer the old man's question, but instead deviated from the topic and inquired further.

If it were just some trouble caused by cultivation issues that he needed to resolve, the old man wouldn't have secretly followed him for half a year before finally confronting him directly.

Moreover, his fervent enthusiasm for him, even to the point of disregarding his own granddaughter's feelings, makes it hard not to suspect...

"You little rascal, you're quite clever. I won't lie to you, although a pure yang body is a way to cure my granddaughter's chronic illness, it's far from enough to make me like this."

"What I value is your talent and potential. Although the Pure Yang Sword Body is a rare physique and can improve cultivation speed to some extent, it is absolutely impossible for you to cultivate to the Sword Soul Realm at the age of sixteen, and even a Heaven-level Sword Soul."

"Because I myself embody this Pure Yang Sword Body!"

The gray-robed old man looked at Ye Feng with great admiration, the excitement in his cloudy eyes now fully revealed.

On the Sword Continent, the energy of heaven and earth is becoming increasingly scarce. If this continues, everyone will eventually be unable to cultivate. Those who have already made some progress in cultivation will eventually perish due to their inability to advance further and the exhaustion of their lifespan.

To change this situation, we must break down the barrier between heaven and earth and connect the dimensional passage to the vast world.

The Sword Continent needs a Sword Emperor-level expert. Although it is difficult, those with innate sword bodies have a better chance than others.

"Senior, you also possess the Pure Yang Sword Body..."

Ye Feng was slightly taken aback, clearly somewhat surprised.

"Otherwise, how would I have been able to discover you..."

The old man in the gray robe smiled smugly.

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed. His originally gentle and restrained aura instantly dissipated, and a sword intent that was extremely strong, yang, and as fiery as fire soared into the sky.

Despite the old man's attempt to suppress it, Ye Feng still felt difficulty breathing, as if he were in a raging furnace.

What shocked him even more was that this sword intent resonated faintly with the pure yang sword energy within his body, sharing the same origin!

"Indeed..."

Ye Feng's pupils shrank suddenly, his heart filled with unbearable shock.

The seemingly ordinary old man in front of him was actually at least at the Sword King realm, and he had the same physique as him, so it was no wonder that he had noticed him.

In addition, the Great Li Dynasty's Fiend Sword Sect probably also has a way of sensing this special physique. During his year of training outside, he has never revealed his true strength or deliberately shown off in front of others.

Having lived two lives, he understands the necessity of sometimes concealing one's talents.

Fortunately, this powerful figure had no ill intentions. Otherwise, following him for half a year, with every move under his watchful eye, would be terrifying just to think about.

The old man in the gray robe slowly suppressed his aura, and the scorching oppressive feeling in the bamboo house receded like the tide. He then picked up the rough pottery teacup, took another sip, and a look of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

"When I was young, I was also hailed as a genius, but I only entered the Sword Soul Realm at the age of twenty. Therefore, your physique is not the Pure Yang Sword Body, but the Innate Sword Body that encompasses the Pure Yang Sword Body."

After saying this, the old man in the gray robe slowly came to his senses and stroked his gray beard.

If he hadn't been able to sense this kid through the Pure Yang Sword Qi, he probably would have regretted it later.

Who would have thought that in the present-day Sword Continent, there would still be the legendary Innate Sword Body? In just half a year, only half a year, he broke through from the Sword Transformation Realm to the Sword Soul Realm and condensed a Heaven-level Perfected Sword Soul.

In the Sword Continent, sword souls are divided into four levels: mortal, spiritual, earth, and heaven. The sword soul condensed in the sword soul realm determines the strength of combat power and future achievements.

The sword spirit he condensed was only at the Earth-level Perfection stage.

"Innate Sword Body..."

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat, and a trace of confusion flashed across his dark eyes.

On the Sword Continent, there are many special sword bodies, but he had never heard of this innate sword body before, perhaps because he was ignorant.

His adoptive and mentoring grandfather was only at the Sword Transformation Realm, hardly a powerful figure, and had little experience to share with him. He also couldn't access the ancient texts of those powerful families and sects.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, little guy. This kind of physique hasn't appeared in our world for tens of thousands of years. I only learned about it from an ancient book. This kind of physique contains some special characteristics of a special physique and is also known as the Chaos Sword Body."

"To be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes and witnessed you condense a sword soul at the perfect Heaven level, I probably wouldn't have believed that such a physique truly existed until I died."

The old man in the gray robe spoke with a touch of melancholy, but in his heart he felt mostly a sense of relief.

"Thank you for telling me, senior. I still don't know your name."

Ye Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and bowed solemnly to the old man.

The old man in front of him rescued him first and then answered his questions. Apart from his tendency to force people into marriage, he was perfect in every way.

His innate sword physique, this special constitution, is the key to his extraordinary cultivation speed, the condensation of his natal sword energy, the opening of his sword meridians, and the formation of his sword soul.

In the Sword Continent, cultivation levels are clearly defined, and the abilities displayed in each realm increase progressively. The initial Sword Sensing Realm involves sensing the energy of heaven and earth and condensing a wisp of one's natal sword energy within the body.

The subsequent Sword Condensation Realm solidifies one's natal sword energy, allowing it to be attached to a weapon. The Sword Transformation Realm opens up the sword meridians within the body, allowing the sword energy to leave the body. The Sword Soul Realm, on the other hand, awakens sword intent, condenses a sword soul, and undergoes a qualitative change in consciousness, enabling one to ride a sword through the air.

The Sword Domain Realm, Sword Marquis Realm, and other levels were still some distance away from him, and he didn't have much insight into them.

On the other hand, the Pure Yang Sword Body is only one aspect of his physique. Knowing this, Ye Feng felt even more confident.

Given time, he may well be able to reach the summit of this world and take in the splendor of the vast universe.

Hopefully, it's not too late, and that this so-called vast world will indeed have figures like the Flame Emperor and the Martial Ancestor…

"I am Su Zhen, you should have heard of this name, young man."

The gray-robed old man, with a gentle smile on his face, informed Ye Feng.

The young man before him was extraordinary, the most outstanding junior he had ever seen in recent years. It would be best to take such a genius back with him.

"Su Zhen, that name sounds so familiar..."
