Chapter 9: Cong Qi Dan!!

  Seeing Ye Chen being very resolute, Ye Zhan Tian could only give up.

  "The Thunder Emperor's manual is indeed extraordinary, Chen Er. There's something I'd like to discuss with you, I'm thinking of giving the first part of the Thunder Emperor's manual to the clan members to cultivate. What do you think?" Ye Zhan Tian asked, after all, the Thunder Emperor's manual was given to him by Ye Chen, and who knows if the ancestors had any other instructions, he didn't dare to casually give it to the clan members.

  The Nine Stars Tianchen Formula consists of nine chapters, and the Lei Emperor Formula is just one of them. The deeper-level formula must be protected well. The first-level formula can also be given to the clan members for cultivation, after all, the family's strength is their capital for survival in this world.

  "I've already given the Lei Emperor's manual to Father, so let him decide for himself." Ye Chen said, his father must have had an idea.

  "That's good." Ye Zhantian smiled, he suddenly remembered something and said with a serious expression: "I see that Chen Er is very close to Hua Er, does Chen Er have a crush on Hua Er?"

  Before, Ye Chen's meridians were completely severed. Ye Zhan Tian didn't think much of it at the time. Now that Ye Chen's meridians have recovered and the gloom accumulated in his heart has dissipated, he began to consider Ye Chen's marriage.

  "I've always treated her as my sister." Ye Chen said, but he also had to admit that she was getting prettier and more affectionate towards him, sometimes making his heart skip a beat.

  Ye Zhan Tian glanced at Ye Chen and said, "If it's just treating her as a younger sister, that's fine. But Hua'er is being fostered in our Ye family manor, and her background is not simple at all. Whatever you do, don't develop feelings for Hua'er, or it will bring trouble later on."

  When Ye Zhan Tian spoke, Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Xiao Yu's background was not simple. Although the other young men in the Ye family compound admired Xiao Yu, they all kept their distance from her. Previously, Ye Chen hadn't thought much about it. First, he needed to improve his strength and get through the ancestral worship ceremony seven days later. As for what happened after that, Ye Chen would think about it later.

  "This is the original thunder method, it's the ultimate skill in our family's martial arts. Today, I'll pass this skill on to you. You won't be able to use it for now, but taking a look at it will definitely be of great benefit to you. This skill is not trivial, so you must take good care of it! If you encounter any problems during practice, come ask me anytime. For the next few days, you must work hard on your training." Ye Zhan Tian instructed, and took out a book from the hidden compartment.

  "Yes, I understand." Ye Chen nodded in response. It was actually the Yuan Lei body, a treasured technique of the family that only those at the level of Ye Zhan Tian and Ye Zhan Long could learn. Not even the family elder, Ye Mo Yang, had ever learned it.

  "The subtlety of the Lei Emperor's Secret is truly hard to put into words. By operating the Lei Emperor's Secret, the power of the Yuanlei Body can be increased several times over. As for me now, even if I were to encounter a high-ranking expert at the early stage of the 9th rank, I would not be afraid and will soon break through the barrier and advance to the 9th rank. My cultivation has been stuck at the peak of the 8th rank for nearly five years, but finally, there is a sign of breakthrough." Ye Zhantian said with relief.

  "Congratulations, Father."

  "If I can advance to the ninth rank, I will definitely eliminate the parasites within Ye Manor, even if it means completely severing ties with Yun Manor." Ye Zhan Tian thought of Ye Mo Yang, his heart cold and unfeeling.

  "Looking back, the Lei Meng Nei Jin Gong Fa is indeed very incomplete. Just the first move has thirteen mistakes. I'll explain them to you one by one, which will definitely help you cultivate the Lei Di Quan's first move." Ye Zhan Tian patiently explained some of the mistakes in cultivating Lei Meng Nei Jin to Ye Chen.

  The first layer of Leiming Neijin only has thirteen mistakes, why did I find thirty-five mistakes? Am I wrong? Father is after all a high-ranking master at the 8th level peak, his understanding of cultivation methods should far surpass mine. Ye Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

  "Chen Er, what's wrong? Is there something you don't understand?" Ye Zhan Tian asked, noticing that Ye Chen's expression was a bit off.

  "The child is deep in thought." Ye Chen hastily said.

  "You are gifted beyond ordinary people. If you can comprehend it, it will be of great benefit to your cultivation. You can break through the fifth stage in a month and the sixth stage in a year."

  Ye Zhan Tian mentioned thirteen mistakes, Ye Chen found them all, and there are twenty-two left, what's the explanation?

  "Father, with the first heavy sentence of Lei Meng's inner power, it directly rushes to the heavenly rush. If you leave the divine gate, is there any problem?" Ye Chen asked cautiously.

  "Nature is flawless." Ye Zhantian thought for a moment and said.

  Was it really me who was wrong? Ye Chen felt some doubt and also thought he wasn't wrong, but he had a guilty conscience and didn't dare to express the doubts in his heart.

  "Go back and think carefully about it, child."

  "After returning, you must work hard and cultivate diligently. Remember, you can't be lazy! The competition for the next head of the household is not trivial." Ye Zhantian said solemnly.

  "Yes." Ye Chen replied solemnly.

  Returning from his father's place, Ye Chen had some inexplicable confusion in his heart. Why hadn't his father noticed those obvious mistakes? Was it that he himself had misunderstood the cultivation method?

  Really can't figure it out, my own understanding in my head is already unable to change, can only continue to cultivate from now on.

  He practiced Lei Di's technique for several hours and then reviewed the family's ordinary martial skills. After a while, he took out the Yuan Lei Body Technique.

  The Primordial Thunder Body technique is based on the internal energy of thunder and is one of the most powerful techniques in the Ye family's arsenal. It was created by a brilliant ancestor of the Ye family, who possessed exceptional talent. When used in battle, it can transform into a thunder body, increasing its power several times over. Although my father's strength is only at the 8th rank, with this technique, even some 9th-rank experts dare not underestimate him.

  At first, Ye Zhan Tian cultivated this Yuan Lei body martial skill for a whole three years, and at that time his Xuan Qi had already reached the 7th rank, with enough foundation. Now Ye Chen's Xuan Qi is only at the 4th rank. He taught Ye Chen the Yuan Lei body martial skill not expecting him to successfully cultivate it within seven days, but just wanted Ye Chen to take a look at the Yuan Lei body, perhaps gaining some insight.

  "It's actually able to transform the body into a thunderous state, allowing the internal vital energy to circulate at a speed three times faster than usual. That ancestor who created the Primordial Thunder Body martial technique was indeed extraordinary." Ye Chen flipped through the pages of the Primordial Thunder Body martial technique, seemingly gaining insight.

  To cultivate the Primordial Lightning Body, the most crucial foundation is to greatly accelerate the circulation speed of Xuan Qi, otherwise it will be impossible to support the consumption speed of the Primordial Lightning Body's martial skills.

  Ordinary people want to speed up the circulation of Xuanqi, which is extremely difficult. However, Ye Chen seems to have an excellent condition, that is, as long as his thoughts touch the flying knife, the Xuanqi inside the flying knife will burst out, and its circulation speed is several times faster than that of ordinary people!

  "This technique is actually worth practicing!" Ye Chen's cultivation of the Lei Emperor Scripture was several levels higher than Lei Ming's internal energy, and mobilizing the Primordial Thunder Body was also completely fine.

  He silently memorized all the techniques of Yuan Lei's body, Ye Chen's mind moved the flying knife, and the Xuan Qi circulated. Suddenly, a strong and pure Xuan Qi burst out, circulating through each meridian. He let out a low shout: "Yuan Lei's Body!"

  He only felt that the momentum of his entire body suddenly surged several times, a metallic silver-white color spreading throughout his body, a powerful thunder system filling his entire body, as if it was about to burst out at any moment.

  Only three seconds into the exercise, Ye Chen felt a bit out of breath, the Xuan Qi in his Dantian was depleted, his face turned pale, and he hastily stopped, using his hand to support himself on the table, panting heavily.

  The Primordial Lightning Body is indeed overbearing. When the Primordial Lightning Body is unleashed, and other martial techniques are used in conjunction with it, their power will increase by at least several times!

  But with Ye Chen's current Xuan Qi level, using the Primordial Lightning Body is really too strenuous, and he can only hold on for three seconds at most.

  Even if it was only three seconds, that was enough to make Ye Chen extremely excited. After all, when his father was at the seventh stage, he had spent a whole three years cultivating the Primordial Lightning Body!

  "In actual combat, if you want to display the Primordial Thunder Body, you must maintain it for several seconds!" Ye Chen thought, three seconds was indeed too short. Although the flying knife's mysterious energy was endless, the mysterious energy required to operate the Primordial Thunder Body had to pass through the dantian. If not for the flying knife's provided mysterious energy, with Ye Chen's fourth-stage strength, it was fundamentally impossible to display the Primordial Thunder Body.

  Ye Chen's body was still unable to adapt to the enormous consumption of Yuan Lei's physique!

  He sat down cross-legged and absorbed the surging Xuan Qi from the flying knife. Soon, his empty Dan Tian was restored.

  Normally, a fourth-order cultivator would need to meditate for several hours to absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to recover if the spiritual energy in their dantian is depleted. Those of higher orders require even more time, but Ye Chen recovered his spiritual energy in just one quarter of an hour.

  Suddenly opening his eyes, the Xuan Qi in his Dantian had recovered, and he could continue to cultivate his Yuan Lei body!

  This flying knife is really too magical, Ye Chen was somewhat excited, with the flying knife, his cultivation speed will definitely be several times or even dozens of times faster than others!

  The Body of Yuan Lei!

  Ye Chen sat down to recover his Xuan Qi after executing Yuan Lei's body, and then executed it again, recovering once more. He repeated this process over and over, and as the number of uses increased, Ye Chen felt that the Xuan Qi in his Dantian was much fuller than before. The amount of Xuan Qi had likely reached mid-fourth stage level. The execution time for Yuan Lei's body also increased from three seconds to around four seconds.

  For some reason, after displaying the Multiverse Thunder Body so many times, Ye Chen didn't feel a bit tired, but instead his spirit was refreshed. He took a look at the time and it was already three o'clock in the morning. It seemed that he could cultivate until dawn without any problem.

  Ye Moyang's private residence.

  "Father, what did Ye Chen mean by saying those words? Does Ye Zhan Tian and his son have some ulterior motive?" Ye Kong Yan felt that he was already the most suitable candidate to take over as the new head of the family, but although he was excited, he was still clear-headed and knew that before he got his hands on the family's ancestral seal, he wasn't officially the new head yet.

  "Ye Chen's meridians are completely severed, and it's impossible for him to compete with you. The others' cultivation is much weaker than yours, so they shouldn't pose a threat to you. However, still be cautious, as Ye Zhan Tian and Ye Zhan Long might nurture one or two juniors. After careful consideration, the selection of the new family head at the ancestral worship ceremony cannot afford any mistakes. Within these seven days, I will raise your strength to sixth rank." A hint of gloominess flashed in Ye Mo Yang's eyes.

  "In just seven days, he's risen to 6th rank? How is this possible!" Ye Kongyan exclaimed in shock.

  "With this, nothing is impossible!" Ye Moyang smiled faintly and took out a brocade box. When he opened it, only a red bullet was seen inside the box, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

  Seeing this Dan Yuan, Ye Kongyan couldn't help but be moved: "Father, is this a Concentrated Qi Pill?"

  "Not bad, it's a Condensing Pill!"

  Ye Kongyan took a cold breath and said, "It's said that one Condensing Qi Pill can be exchanged for hundreds of Gathering Qi Pills. Where did Father obtain this precious treasure?" Ye Kongyan was now at the peak of the fifth stage, only a hair's breadth away from breaking through. With the Condensing Qi Pill, he indeed had a great opportunity to advance in rank.

  "It's not difficult at all, I just used a piece of paper agreement and asked for it from the Yun family manor." Ye Moyang said coldly.

  "What's the agreement?"

  "If you obtain the position of master of Yejia Fortress, transfer the mine in the back mountain of Yejia Fortress to Yunjia Fortress."

  "How can this be possible! To become the master of Yejia Manor!"

  "Nothing is impossible. Once you become the new head of the family, Ye Zhan Tian that old ghost mysteriously died, according to the ancestral rules, you will be the master!"

  When Ye Moyang spoke, Ye Kongyan was shocked and his back was covered in cold sweat. Only then did he understand his father's plan.

  "You mustn't disappoint your father's hopes!" Ye Moyang said, looking at Ye Kongyang.

  "Understood!" Ye Kongyan thudded to his knees and knocked his head heavily on the ground.

  After taking the Condensing Qi Pill from Ye Moyang's hand, Ye Kongyan tilted his head back and swallowed the medicine with a gulp.

  Deep in the night, Ye Chen's small house was still lit with a flickering flame.

  He was still diligently practicing the Lei Emperor's Fist and the Yuanlei Body, apart from this, he had also practiced the other two martial skills to a state of perfection, although he only had the strength of a 4th stage intermediate cultivator, Ye Chen believed that with his own Xuan Qi's condensation degree, as well as his familiarity with the three martial skills, if he were to encounter a Xuan Qi 5th stage expert, he should also be able to exchange blows with them.

  Due to the difference in the mysterious energy within his body and that of this world, Ye Chen was also unclear about how strong his own strength was. At this time, he couldn't find anyone else to spar with either. Before the ancestral worship ceremony, he absolutely could not let Ye Moyang know that his meridians had already healed!
