Chapter 17: Changing Fate, Begins!

  In a quiet room, surrounded by a large amount of heavenly and earthly spiritual energy, he was like a hungry man, greedily absorbing the rapidly incoming heavenly and earthly spiritual energy.

  Now that Dantian can recharge the Xuanqi, the desire to become stronger in Chen Ye's heart has become extremely strong. No one knows how much weight he bears in his heart!

  Everyone knew what happened on Beifeng Mountain four years ago, but no one knew that the fate of the Chen family would have been sealed by heaven if it weren't for Chen Ye's rebirth.

  Saving his mother is Chen Ye's mission, but he deeply understands that it's not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time.

  That year, on the top of Beiwang Mountain, those several black-clothed men brought him a feeling as vast and powerful as this world. Zhenye was insignificant in front of them, not even comparable to an ant. One of them lightly raised their palm, and it would have been enough to destroy his entire life!

  This made Chen Ye not suspect at all, just a few people, if they wanted to do more things in the Great China Dynasty, then even if all the masters in the dynasty joined forces, they would not be their opponents.

  Even with such a high level of skill, even if the demonic talent of the day and night is still there, they know that in just a few years' time, they will absolutely not be their match.

  For now, Chen Ye could only deeply bury this boundless hatred in his heart and couldn't tell anyone.

  The vastness of the world is beyond Chen Ye's understanding, and as for the world outside the Imperial City, Chen Ye has never been in contact with it and doesn't know what kind of powerful people exist.

  But with the prestige of the Chen family in recent years, Chen Ye knew that under the leadership of Grandfather Chen Zhong, they had unshakeable power within the Dahua Empire.

  This is a powerful force, but even so, in front of those black-clothed men, it was still useless. Therefore, for many years, Chen Ye's heart had been melancholic, yet he never revealed too much on the outside, only tirelessly training himself. He did this to avoid worrying the people around him, lest when facing the imperial family, he would also have to face those few top-notch experts.

  No one knows why those men in black took away Mother, so it's even more unclear whether those people will come to the Imperial City again and whether they will also be unfavorable to the Chen family.

  So, Chen Ye tried his best to suppress the sadness in his heart, so that other members of the Chen family would not associate him with those black-clothed men, and thus they could temporarily avoid facing those powerful beings!

  Heaven and earth spiritual energy, like the tide, surges in, flowing through the meridians, at that time, being smelted by the primordial spiritual energy that comes from all directions, then transformed into one's own primordial spiritual energy. After a large cycle is completed, it flows continuously towards the elixir field...

  As the mysterious energy gradually increased, his cultivation slowly strengthened, and Chen Ye also became more and more clearly 'visible' to the small knife in his dantian.

  Compared to when he first saw it, the small knife hadn't changed much and still looked very old. If it weren't for its white glow enveloping it at all times, Chen Ye would have doubted its existence. It was as if having it allowed him to change his fate from his past life with countless innate conditions!

  Now, with his own cultivation growing, especially after going to Beiwang Mountain again and seeing the mysterious ancient emperor's palace, Chen Ye can clearly feel even the slightest change in Xiao Dao.

  This couldn't help but make him curious, what was the ancient emperor's temple, and what was the small knife, why could a single small knife allow himself to be reborn, and achieve things that he had never achieved in his past life no matter how hard he tried?

  He stopped his cultivation and let out a soft breath, muttering to himself: "These doubts, perhaps I'll only be able to clarify them after my cultivation reaches a certain level."

  At this point, a cold arc suddenly appeared at the corner of Chen Ye's mouth. Today was the day when Master would take him to the palace by imperial decree!

  On that same day in memory, what happened, when the morning and night closed their eyes, those things that occurred would be presented as clearly as a movie.

  "Today, the same scene will surely appear again. However, Your Majesty, do you know that tonight is not the same as it was back then? The play of life will definitely not proceed according to your plan."

  The sound fell, Chen Ye got up from bed in the morning and walked out of the room. Outside, the bright sunshine was warm and gentle, making people feel very comfortable.

  "Little master, Old Master Wang is listening to you in the front hall." Unbeknownst to him, behind Chen Ye, a white-haired old man stood quietly.

  The young man slowly turned around and looked at the white-haired old man for a moment, then bowed respectfully and said: "Thank you, Old Lin!"

  "Little master, no, what are you doing?" The white-haired old man hastily dodged to one side, not daring to accept Chen Ye's bow.

  Chen Ye's loyal companion, the white-haired old man, stood by his side through thick and thin. Even when the Chen family was on the brink of destruction, he never abandoned them. As far as Chen Ye knew, the imperial court had sent people to contact him, promising him boundless wealth and glory, but the old man remained unmoved. When disaster struck, the white-haired old man charged down the mountain like a fierce tiger, cutting down countless enemies!

  Unfortunately, the resistance of countless people in the Chen family was all in vain due to the old master's inaction, and in the end, hundreds of lives in the Chen family were lost within the imperial city.

  At the moment of his death, the old man with white hair looked at his master's eyes without resentment or incomprehension. Instead, there was a sense of unfulfilled longing, as if he were saying that they would no longer be able to enjoy this beautiful world. As he went to meet his maker, he must not drink Meng Po's soup and must not forget the friendship of many years!

  "Lin Lao, I'm going to the Imperial Palace with Grandfather!" Chen Ye smiled and waved his hand, then strode away.

  "The successful cultivation of the Jiaolong body undoubtedly gave the young master a strong confidence to stand up again, however..."

  Gazing at the back of Chen Ye's figure in the night, an old man with white hair whispered to himself: "This confidence is what Old Master Wang has achieved now, something he never possessed before. He only started to change after Young Master Jiaolong broke through to the entry level."

  The front hall was quiet and clean, with only an old man standing alone with his hands behind his back!

  Although he was old, the old man's body had never been slightly bent, standing there calmly, still with a majestic aura as if standing among thousands of troops and horses!

  This is the third time Chen Ye has seen the old man since his rebirth.

  For the first time, the old man was just like I had imagined!

  For the second time, on Lao Ye Zi's body, Chen Ye felt a strange confidence!

  And now, that unparalleled confidence has not only returned, but Chen Ye also clearly felt the sharp aura that Old Master had been suppressing for many years, once again emanating out.

  The treasured sword reappears in the daylight, its sharpness remains!

  In the twinkling of an eye, in the memories, from the Chen family to its final downfall, the old master had never shown such a side before. Why would he do so now? Could it be that his own rebirth also changed the old master's temperament?

  This is impossible!

  The night before last denied it!

  It's easy to change the world, but hard to change one's nature! If he hadn't experienced it himself, Chen Ye wouldn't have been able to change his ways. Although Lao Ye had seen a lot in life, he still hadn't experienced what was yet to come...

  So, will Lao Ye's current change be a result of his own doing?

  "Yèr, why are you looking at Grandfather like that?" asked Old Man Chén as he walked out of the front hall with a smile.

  "Grandfather, it's almost time, let's go into the palace!"

  The words were spoken lightly, but in his sleeves, Chen Ye's fists had already clenched tightly. Today, if Chen Ye's memories didn't go awry, then today would be the beginning of all the chaos!

  Fortunately, Heaven gave Chen Ye a chance, and today will be the beginning of Chen Ye changing his family's fate and his own destiny!
