The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

"Hehe, it's been a long time since I've seen such a young supreme expert. My Golden Palace City has a rare guest today."

Before he finished speaking, ripples spread through the space, and an old man dressed in golden robes appeared out of thin air, standing facing Ye Feng.

The old man had a full moon-like face and a radiant complexion. Although he was old, he showed no signs of aging. His eyebrows were lowered and his wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were smoothed out, as if he were detached from worldly affairs.

Upon closer inspection, those eyes were as warm and gentle as jade, yet unfathomable, concealing a sense of clarity and composure.

Although his aura was restrained, it subtly exuded an aura of majesty that was impossible to ignore, making people dare not underestimate him in the slightest.

As the old man appeared, the entire world erupted in commotion. Outside Golden Palace City, countless gazes immediately turned toward the sky where Ye Feng and his companion were located.

"Look, isn't that the Golden Palace Supreme..."

"..."

"Yes, what's this young man's background? That the Golden Palace Supreme would personally greet him is quite a powerful expert, a seventh-rank Supreme!"

"..."

"I, Ye Feng, have presumptuously come to Golden Palace City and have disturbed you, senior. I hope you will forgive me."

Hearing the clamor that filled the air, Ye Feng felt a slight chill and realized the old man's identity. He immediately bowed respectfully.

Just a moment ago, he hadn't sensed the person in front of him at all, and the person had used spatial power to come here. Just this one point showed that the person's strength was far superior to his own.

Unlike the lower planes, in the Great Thousand World, due to the thicker spatial barrier, only those of the fifth rank or above can break through the space without the aid of external objects.

To move freely through space, one needs even greater strength.

"Ye Feng..."

The old man in the golden robe pondered for a moment, but could not find any memories of Ye Feng in his mind from the surrounding continents.

"Young friend, there's no need for such formalities. I am from the Golden Palace. We are both Supreme Beings, so we can address each other as equals. If I'm not mistaken, you are not from my Fallen Sword Continent or the surrounding continents..."

Jin Que waved his hand, his gaze gentle, and looked Ye Feng up and down, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Such a young, yet restrained and composed supreme expert is not someone that an ordinary force could cultivate.

As for the Fallen Sword Continent and the surrounding continents, they are not considered particularly powerful in the Eastern Region of the Great Thousand Worlds. The number of supreme experts there is very limited.

"You're too kind, senior. To be honest, Ye Feng is indeed not from the Fallen Sword Continent or the surrounding continents."

Seeing that the old man meant no harm, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

When one's strength is inferior to another's, many things are beyond one's control. Fortunately, his luck seems to be quite good. The old man in front of him doesn't seem to be the kind of unreasonable, fierce person.

The world is far from as peaceful as the Sword Continent.

Now, even if he is no match for a second or third-rank supreme expert, he can still fight with all his might and has a chance to survive. But against supreme experts of the fourth rank or above, he doesn't even have the right to fight back.

The Supreme Ninth Rank is a realm of one level, and the gap between them is extremely difficult to bridge, especially since he has not yet cultivated the Supreme Dharma Body.

The old man before him, a seventh-rank supreme being, was someone he had to look up to. If he were to truly regard him as an equal, then he would be lacking in self-awareness.

Just as Ye Feng was talking with the old man in the golden robe, five streaks of light of different colors streaked across the sky and landed behind the old man in the golden robe.

Five figures, four men and one woman, all possessed powerful auras; even the weakest among them had the strength of a second-grade supreme being.

"President!"

The five bowed in unison, but their gazes all fell on Ye Feng, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Such a young supreme expert is an extremely rare existence in the Fallen Sword Continent and the surrounding continents.

"It's quite lively here, all of you have come."

Jin Que's face was gentle as he stroked his beard and smiled. The author, Breaking Free, presents "The Great Ruler: Starting from a Lower Plane" on Cola Novels.

In this Fallen Sword Continent, apart from those two old guys from the Fallen Sword Sect and Blood Fiend Valley, there are few people who can interest him.

Those ordinary supreme beings were not worth his attention, but the person in front of him gave him a different feeling.

"Ye Feng greets everyone..."

Ye Feng cupped his hands in greeting to the group, and the five people returned the greeting one after another.

"These are the elders of my Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce. Young brother, you have come from afar, please come in and have a chat."

Jin Que gave a brief introduction, and then extended an invitation to Ye Feng.

"Then I shall accept it without being impolite."

Ye Feng clasped his hands slightly, displaying a humble attitude.

He was overwhelmed by the honor of being personally greeted by a seventh-grade supreme being and five second-grade supreme beings or above.

"Young man, please..."

……

Led by the Supreme King of the Golden Palace, Ye Feng and his group arrived at the headquarters of the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce and sat down for a talk.

Inside the magnificent, golden hall.

"May I ask which continent you come from, young friend, and what brings you to my Golden Palace City?"

At the head of the hall, Jin Que looked at Ye Feng with a scrutinizing gaze and asked the question that had been on his mind.

For a small continent like theirs, cultivating a supreme expert is extremely difficult.

It is even rarer for someone to reach such a level at such a young age.

Some people with exceptional talent in the early stages of cultivation can progress very quickly before reaching the Supreme Realm, but their progress completely stagnates once they reach the late stage of the Heavenly Realm.

If you look closely, their Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce hasn't produced a new supreme expert for decades, and the other two major powers on this continent are in the same boat.

If even one out of a hundred people at the late stage of the Heavenly Realm manages to overcome the three minor tribulations and advance to the Supreme Realm, that would be quite remarkable.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then told him frankly without hiding anything.

"This junior comes from a lower plane and has only recently arrived in the Great Thousand World. I have come to the Golden Palace Merchant Guild to inquire about some information and to purchase a spiritual map of the various continents of the Great Thousand World."

Although he is penniless now, he actually has quite a few valuable items on him, such as the divine weapon Li Huo Sword and the Xuan Tian Sword Jade Marrow.

However, he certainly wouldn't trade these things. But a supreme expert can condense supreme spiritual liquid, although it's inefficient; a first-grade supreme expert can only condense one or two drops a month.

If there aren't many good options, using this clumsy method as a starting point to obtain some urgently needed items is a viable option.

Compared to the low-level currency, Spirit Coin, Supreme Spirit Liquid is the true resource currency circulating in the Great Thousand Worlds.

Of course, condensing the Supreme Spirit Liquid in this way is extremely time-consuming. The best way is to temporarily join a force and use the strength of a Supreme to obtain some resources for offering. For example, the Golden Palace Merchant Guild is a good option.

Compared to sect forces, merchant guild forces are more loose and free, and he had a good impression of the Golden Palace Supreme in front of him.

He told the Golden Palace Supreme and the others about their background in order to see their attitude towards him. If the Golden Palace Chamber of Commerce could extend an olive branch, it would save him a lot of trouble.

Joining the Golden Palace Merchant Guild and traveling to other continents to search for the Essence of Fire and plan for opportunities that benefit oneself are not contradictory.

Arriving in this vast world for the first time, trying to get something for nothing is the only option left, and everything should be done with caution as the priority.

"The lower plane..."

Ye Feng's response caused a moment of absolute silence in the hall, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"No wonder you, young brother, have such an extraordinary aura as a Supreme Being. You are a peerless genius from a lower plane. No wonder you have spiritual energy fluctuations that are different from those of ordinary Supreme Beings."
