I Have Unlimited Dantians

In his past life, Luoshui City had been annihilated by the Demon Race. The most powerful demons then were merely at the Armor Realm, and the strongest among them possessed only a Marquis Clan Low-Grade Bloodline. To think that just a few days after his rebirth, he had already encountered Demons with a Top-Grade Marquis Clan Bloodline and even a Royal Family’s Top-Grade Bloodline. The disparity from his previous life was so vast it put Nie Yun on high alert.

’Did my rebirth cause a butterfly effect? Or did Demons of this level exist all along, and my status was simply too low to ever encounter them in my past life?’

’If they did exist back then, how could a small place like Luoshui City possibly attract a Demon with such a powerful Bloodline?’

’It would be like two nations at war. Even if the enemy’s head of state were to visit the front lines, they would go to the capital or some other major city. For them to personally oversee a battle in a small county town would be bizarre!’

Nie Yun was completely baffled.

Unlike the Human Race, the Demon Race has an extremely strict hierarchy. A single Demon with a Royal Family Bloodline can command tens of thousands of those with lesser bloodlines at will. It was foreseeable that once this escaped Demon rallied its subordinates, an army of tens of thousands from the Demon Race would descend upon Luoshui City. When that happened, forget the Four Great Families—even four more families just like them wouldn’t stand a chance!

The Demon Race was terrifying. The people of Luoshui City had long heard of them, but they had never seen them. Once real combat began, they were sure to suffer a crushing defeat!

The Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. Legend states there are Ten Thousand Great Dao, and the accomplished have grasped nine thousand of them. "The accomplished" refers to the number of Great Dao principles a race has comprehended. The Demon Race possesses nine thousand of the strongest Secret Techniques, having reached the realm of the accomplished. In contrast, the Human Race has only grasped three thousand of the Great Dao, not even a passing grade. The two could not be mentioned in the same breath!

’Time waits for no one. I have to increase my strength, and quickly. As long as I can reach the Qi Sect level, I’ll be able to use many of my Secret Techniques. Maybe then I’ll be able to defend against the Demon Race’s invasion!’

After mulling it over, Nie Yun felt an even greater urgency to improve his strength. He spent another moment regulating his condition until his injuries were fully healed, then glanced at the others.

"Yangg Yan, Feng Xiao, and Chen Xing, consolidate your respective families. The Demon Race is about to invade, so it’s best if our Four Great Families can set aside our past grievances and cooperate. Father, now that you’ve reached the Qi Sect level and Nie Haotian is dead, you should take control of the Nie Family. I have to go to the City Lord’s Mansion, so I’ll be leaving now!"

’Earlier, at the City Lord’s Mansion, the City Lord had Luoo Chenxiao tell me he had something to discuss, a matter concerning the Demon Race. I was worried something might happen to my father and the others, so I rushed back. Now that everything is settled and the Four Great Families are no more in their old form, it’s the perfect time to hear what news the City Lord has. I should also thank him for his help.’

"Right," the group replied.

Feng Xiao, Chen Xing, and Yangg Yan were now in complete awe of Nie Yun, ready to follow his every command. After witnessing his son’s miraculous feats, his father, Nie Xiaotian, also knew it was right to listen to him and had no objections to his arrangements.

Thus, after hearing Nie Yun’s instructions, all four of them nodded and went to carry out their tasks.

"Xiaohu, let’s go!"

With a light grunt and a tap of his foot, he was already seated on Xiaohu’s back. Man and beast then sped off toward the City Lord’s Mansion like a bolt of lightning.

................．

"Father, how do you think Nie Yun improved so quickly? Just ten days ago he was only in the True Qi Realm, but now he’s actually reached the Peak of Gang Formation Realm! And he’s no ordinary Peak of Gang Formation Realm, either. I don’t think even a Peak Powerhouse of the Armor Realm like you would necessarily be his match!"

In the City Lord’s Mansion, Luo Qingcheng cupped her chin in her hands. She found it incredibly strange as she recalled the scene of the young man’s awe-inspiring display of power earlier.

"That Nie Yun is a dragon among men. He’s no simple character," Luoo Zhanhao remarked with a sigh, also recalling what he had witnessed.

"A dragon among men? Heh, City Lord, you flatter me."

Just then, Nie Yun appeared in the room in a flash, mounted on Xiaohu.

"This Tiger-Headed Beast must be your Magic Pet, I assume? I never expected you to possess a Beast Taming Dantian and be a Beast Tamer. Beast Tamers are rare enough in the entire Divine Wind Empire, let alone Luoshui City!"

Luoo Zhanhao chuckled, seeing the perfect coordination between the Tiger-Headed Beast and the young man.

"You know about the Beast Taming Dantian?" Nie Yun was taken aback. He hadn’t expected the man to name the primary foundation of a Beast Tamer so casually.

’Special talents like the Storage Dantian, Pill Fire Dantian, and Beast Taming Dantian had never been mentioned by anyone in his past life, as far as he could remember. It wasn’t until he went to the Imperial Capital of the Divine Wind Empire that he heard a detailed explanation. He had assumed no one in a small place like Luoshui City would be aware of them, yet the City Lord had just named one without a second thought.’

In fact, Nie Xiaotian knew about them as well; Nie Yun just hadn’t heard him speak of it, so he was unaware.

"Heh, not only do I know of the Beast Taming Dantian, but I also know of the Healing Dantian, the Skywalking Dantian, the Storage Dantian, the Defensive Dantian..." Luoo Zhanhao chuckled.

A Healing Dantian can automatically convert a type of Heaven-Replenishing Qi, which has miraculous effects on healing injuries and even mending a damaged soul. A Skywalking Dantian, once activated, allows one to sprout wings and achieve incredible speed! And a Defensive Dantian can transform True Qi into a special Defensive Power, enabling a person to manifest something akin to a Golden Bell Shield during battle, granting them an invincible Defense.

’Although Nie Yun could alter the properties of his Dantian with his consciousness, the prerequisite was that he had to have seen such a special Dantian before. If he’d never seen one and didn’t know its properties, how could he possibly induce his own Dantian to transform?’

’Nie Yun had only ever heard of Dantians with special properties like the Healing Dantian and Skywalking Dantian; he’d never actually seen one in his past life. He was incredibly envious, but he was still unable to transform his own Dantian into one of them.’

"As expected of the City Lord, your knowledge is truly vast." Nie Yun laughed, hearing him list off a dozen or more types of Dantians.

No two leaves are identical, let alone a person’s innate talent. According to legend, when Heaven and Earth Creation brought forth the Human Race, every individual was bestowed with a unique talent. This talent can only be effective when applied to its corresponding field. It’s like someone with a talent for business—their judgment will be sharper than an ordinary person’s. If they buy something, they’re certain to sell it later for a huge profit!

But if someone with a talent for business were to spend their life giving back rubs, that talent would never be put to use and would go to waste!

An ordinary person’s talent can’t be seen at a glance. It can only be confirmed after they have fully committed to a profession that suits their talent and have completely awakened it. Qi Sea Cultivators, however, are different. Their Dantian represents their talent. Once they successfully open their Dantian and determine its properties, they can easily discover where their greatest strengths lie!

Of course, other people didn’t have the Nameless Technique and couldn’t generate Bloodline Factors; their talent was fixed from birth. But Nie Yun was different. As long as he could find that special energy, he could circulate the Nameless Technique, generate more Dantians, and evolve an endless variety of talents!

"That’s hardly what I’d call vast knowledge. Not only do I know about it, but the Clan Leaders of the Four Great Families likely all know as well. It’s no great secret." Luoo Zhanhao shook his head with a smile. "Alright, I didn’t ask you here to discuss talents, but to talk about the Demon Race. Do you know why Qingcheng was being hunted by Demons when she returned last time?"
