Chapter 49: The Eight Trigrams of Later Heaven

  The small knife is after all what kind of divine object, until today, Chen Ye still does not know.

  But with Xiao Dao, it's been a considerable amount of time that we've spent together, and for the former, to some extent, I also have some understanding.

  Xiao Dao's extraordinary abilities had been experienced by Chen Ye early on, and in the time since his rebirth, with Xiao Dao's help, Chen Ye had obtained things he had once desperately yearned for.

  So, the dagger was still unfamiliar to him, but he wasn't completely clueless!

  There is a powerful and mysterious power in Xiao Dao, which was already sensed by Chen Ye when he first saw the ancient emperor's temple.

  The second time I saw Gu Di's palace, Chen Ye had already become very clear.

  When all three brothers were injured and unable to defeat that powerful enemy formation, Chen Ye thought of the energy in the small knife.

  Chen Ye's intention, although unable to communicate deeply with Xiao Dao, the latter could still sense his thoughts. In that environment, Xiao Dao did not hesitate to force out a part of its energy from its body and handed it over to Chen Ye.

  However, although it is only a very small part of it, it is not something that Chen Ye can control at will. When he wants to use that energy, his mind is also affected by the energy, and even temporarily controlled, which is why neither Ye Shuo nor Tie Yitian can get close to him.

  At that time, Chen Ye didn't think about what kind of changes would occur after using this energy. The three brothers were facing a crisis, and he just thought about leaving first.

  Until now when he woke up with a clear mind, Chen Ye only discovered that the energy borrowing had no big trouble for his own body, but the small knife...

  The small knife was already in a state of rust and decay, meaning that it was no longer in its peak condition, and could even be said to be in a very weak state. Under such circumstances, it forcibly helped Chen Ye, despite the fact that Chen Ye did not use that energy, and also caused some harm to the small knife itself.

  Fortunately, Chen Ye knew how to restore the dagger and he also knew what to do to bring it back to its peak state.

  All this requires is time and your own efforts!

  The effort here is the cultivation of Chen Ye, and the energy needed to restore the small knife is the pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In other words, it is the Xuan Qi that has been refined by the method of cultivation and entered the body during Chen Ye's cultivation!

  This may be a long-term process, and he can't guarantee that he will be able to restore the dagger with his own strength alone. However, he has a plan in mind, and even if he cannot do it in this life, there are other things that can help him achieve it together.

  So-called other things, should be the mysterious and unpredictable ancient emperor's palace!

  "No rush, really no need to hurry!"

  Zhenye coldly laughed and slowly closed his eyes, entering a state of cultivation.

  After the war, it should have been the best time for cultivation. Because during the war, a person's body will be tense to a certain extent, and because of the intense battle, there is a strong stimulus to the human body.

  At this time, practicing will undoubtedly have a double effect with half the effort.

  He had been in a coma for three days. This period of time was already over for Chen Ye, but his body was not as calm as others might have imagined.

  The energy of the dagger has been completely drained, but the energy of the dagger is so vast that it's not something that Chen Ye's body can withstand. Although he looks fine now, it doesn't mean there won't be any problems later on.

  These hidden sequelae still need Chen Ye to personally go and resolve!

  In the lower abdomen, all the mysterious energy bursts out under the traction of the method, and immediately transforms into countless rivers, rapidly flowing through every part of the body, carefully searching for those subtle and imperceptible remnants.

  It's not hard to find these little troubles, and it's not hard to fix them either. But in the process, Chen Ye surprisingly discovered that using the small knife's energy, although it brought some harm to his body, the small knife brought back what seemed like everything, but actually left a thread of something behind in his body.

  Suddenly enlightened at dawn, after a moment, great joy in heart!

  The energy of the small knife, even if only a tiny bit remains now, is still very powerful for Chen Ye. If he can refine and absorb this small amount of energy, his own cultivation...

  At this thought, the spirit of the body was stirred up in an instant, and all the scattered vital energy in various parts of the body immediately drove out the hidden small knife energy within the body like a ferocious tiger.

  Then, the Xuan Qi transformed into a formless large net, gathering all those converged energies of the small knives, no matter how little, and wrapped them in the middle. Immediately, it rapidly refined them.

  Don't look at this energy as insignificant, Chen Ye spent a whole day and night refining it, until the evening of the second day when the sun set in the west, the small knife's energy was transformed into Chen Ye's own Xuan Qi.

  "Boom!"

  Just as this strand of energy was refined, the primordial energy within Chen Ye transformed, like a small stream turning into a raging river. They, like ferocious dragons, charged into Chen Ye's dantian with a loud roar.

  In an instant, a breath of air that was much stronger than before burst out from Chen Ye's body.

  "The Eightfold Boundary of Tomorrow!"

  The energy of the small knife was indeed too powerful, and although it had been refined by Chen Ye into his own Xuan Qi, it seemed to have a filling effect on him, allowing Chen Ye's cultivation to advance. At this moment, he felt an uncontrollable feeling.

  Otherwise, even if it has just advanced one level, more or less, it will not be perfectly controlled, but it will never be like this, rushing wildly in the room like a storm.

  Even the furniture in these rooms closest to the explosion was blown into two halves!

  After about a minute or so, this aura was perfectly retracted by Chen Ye.

  Opening his eyes, he looked at the wolf-like figure in the room and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. Now that he thought about it, he felt quite fortunate.

  The small knife's energy that had been refined would still have such a violent feeling at the very beginning, let alone one that hadn't been refined.

  If no one had stopped him at the time, he would have continued to wield the small knife with great force, and afterwards, his body would have been severely injured.

  However, if the same situation were to happen again, for the sake of his brothers and family, Chen Ye would still make the same choice. In this world, there is nothing more important than the lives of one's brothers and family.

  "Come in!"

  Someone was called in to clean up the room, and Chen Ye walked out with a stride, heading deep into the Wang Fu, towards that place which seemed to be at peace with the world.

  He still didn't know that the emperor's edict had arrived at the Chen residence, nor did he know how his elders viewed this incident of being ambushed. Some things needed to be clarified in person.

  At this critical moment, everything Chen Ye did was to delay time, in order to lengthen the day when the emperor would take action against the Chen family. He can recklessly show off his strength to intimidate those with ulterior motives in the imperial capital, but Lao Ye Zi cannot do so.

  No matter how excellent Chen Ye's performance is, it cannot be denied that his threat exists in the future. As long as there is an opportunity, this excellent threat can be suppressed by the power of the imperial family.

  The old master's threat is immediate, once the emperor thinks it's necessary to take action, a major move against the Chen family will come immediately.

  Chen Ye couldn't help but think that the current strength of the Chen family was not enough to resist the imperial family. Although it is said that the old master's prestige is unmatched in the Great Hua Empire, what Chen Ye worries about most is the old master's inaction.

  During this period of time, the old man's style of doing things has undergone some changes, but before he knew the true meaning of the old man in Chen Ye, there was some risk that he could not take.

  As I walked, the black curtain had already been drawn across the sky, and the bright moonlight was softly shining down on the boundless earth.

  At midnight, he casually looked up at the sky and his gaze suddenly froze!

  "So it's actually the night of the full moon today!"
