I Have Unlimited Dantians

"I’d like to hear more." Nie Yun shook his head and cupped his hands.

Nie Yun had always found this matter very strange. To think that one of the Demons pursuing Luo Qingcheng actually possessed a Top-Grade Bloodline of a Marquis Clan... it was simply unbelievable!

"Actually, this is related to a treasure left behind by one of our family’s ancestors," Luoo Zhanhao said slowly, not holding anything back. "Ten generations ago, our family produced an Ultimate Venerable Level powerhouse named Luoo Qu..."

"Luoo Qu? The Luoo Qu Tomb?" Nie Yun froze.

"How do you know about the Luoo Qu Tomb? That’s a family secret..." As he spoke, Luoo Zhanhao glanced at his daughter, a look of understanding dawning on his face. But then he faltered. ’That’s not right. I only just told Qingcheng about it, so she couldn’t have known before. And you two haven’t seen each other in all this time...’

Hearing Luoo Zhanhao’s words, Nie Yun shook his head helplessly. He had no idea what that girl, Qingcheng, had been telling people. Even her own father was trying to figure out their relationship.

"Father..." If Nie Yun understood Luoo Zhanhao’s implication, how could Qingcheng not? Her face flushed red.

"I heard about it from another source. I only know that such a place exists, nothing more. Please, tell me about it," Nie Yun said quickly, afraid the City Lord would say something to make things more awkward.

"Our ancestor, Luoo Qu, was at the Ultimate Venerable Level. The Imperial Family of the Divine Wind Empire enfeoffed him as King Quu, and his fief was this very Luoshui City. But even an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse has a limited lifespan. Before his life came to an end, he commissioned a special, grand tomb and placed all his life’s most precious treasures inside. This included things like Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts, and Secret Techniques! The writings left by his descendants even mention that it involves a world-shattering secret! As for what that secret is, no one knows."

"The tomb was reinforced with a special seal, impossible to break unless one’s strength has reached the Ultimate Venerable Peak. The only exception is for a family member with the most compatible bloodline, who can open the seal by virtue of that bloodline alone. Three generations passed, over a hundred years, and no descendant reached the Ultimate Venerable Level again. We didn’t even produce a single Qi Sect Powerhouse, nor did anyone with a suitable bloodline appear. As a result, our royal house, the line of King Quu, fell into decline. The Divine Wind Empire revoked our fiefdom, but out of respect for our ancestor, they granted us the hereditary noble status of City Lord."

"About a hundred years ago, the Demon Race launched a large-scale invasion and plundered all of Luoshui City. The City Lord’s Mansion suffered a devastating blow, and all the records our ancestor left about the Luoo Qu Tomb were lost. And so, we lost our ancestor’s treasure. That is, until Qingcheng was born! After her birth, I performed a bloodline test and found that her compatibility with our ancestor’s bloodline was a perfect one hundred percent! In other words, if we can just find the Luoo Qu Tomb, she can open it!"

"Unfortunately, all information about the Luoo Qu Tomb has been lost. I don’t even know where this ancestral treasure is located! But the Demon Race People do. Somehow, they found out about Qingcheng’s compatible bloodline, and that’s when they started targeting her. That’s why I sent her to the Baihua Sect, to borrow their strength to protect my daughter!"

Luoo Zhanhao told him everything he knew without reservation.

Everyone in Luoshui City had assumed Luoo Zhanhao sent his daughter to the Baihua Sect because he had no heir and feared a backlash from the Four Great Families. No one expected this to be the most important reason!

’So that’s how it is!’ Nie Yun finally understood the story behind the Luoo Qu Tomb. He couldn’t help but feel a thrill of surprise at his father’s good fortune.

’Luoo Qu’s own descendants have no idea where the Luoo Qu Tomb is, yet Father stumbled into it by chance and even obtained the Magic Technique to break through to the Qi Sect. Such heaven-defying luck is truly enviable!’

"Yes. As City Lord, I have many sources of information. My observations tell me the Demon Race has been stirring restlessly and seems to intend to invade Luoshui City again. I fear a great chaos is about to begin. That’s why I hope to find someone I can entrust my daughter to. That way, even if I die, I can do so with Peace of Mind." As he said this, Luoo Zhanhao glanced at Nie Yun.

"Father, what are you talking about? All this talk of dying... You’re fine, and I’m sure Luoshui City will be fine too!"

Qingcheng hadn’t expected her father to be making such plans. The rims of her eyes turned red.

’Hearing this, Nie Yun finally understood. ’No wonder. Qingcheng and I have no real relationship, yet her father keeps using the "son-in-law" excuse, making it seem like she’s desperate to get married. It turns out he’s afraid that if the Demon Race invades and he dies, his daughter will be left all alone with no one to care for her!’

’The well-known young talents in Luoshui City are mostly idiots like Nie Qiang. And even though he’s never met me, I saved his daughter and left a deep impression on her. That must be why Luoo Zhanhao made this decision that I don’t know whether to laugh or cry about.’

"Lord City Lord, you’re overthinking things. The Demon Race hasn’t even invaded yet. And even if they do, it’s not like we’ll be without options," Nie Yun said, shaking his head now that he understood Luoo Zhanhao’s heartfelt intentions.

"Options? Sigh... You’re still young. You don’t know how terrifying the Demon Race is. If they truly come, we’ll be completely helpless."

Luoo Zhanhao sighed.

’I don’t know how terrifying the Demon Race is...?’ Hearing the City Lord’s words, Nie Yun almost laughed out loud. ’In my previous life, if I claimed my knowledge of the Demon Race was second-best, no one would have dared claim to be the best!’

’If the Blood Prison Demon Venerable—a name that made every member of the Demon Race pale with fear—didn’t understand the Demon Race, now that would be a real joke!’

"If our family hadn’t lost the information about the Luoo Qu Tomb, perhaps we could have relied on Qingcheng’s bloodline to open our ancestor’s treasure and find a way to deal with the Demon Race. But as it is now... we truly have no options. I called you here today because I hope you can take Qingcheng away from here and take good care of her in the future..."

Luoo Zhanhao spoke as if he were arranging his final affairs.

The City Lord’s Mansion held the most precious archives, which contained detailed records of the Demon Race invasion from 100 years ago. As City Lord, Luoo Zhanhao was well aware of how terrifying such an invasion was. He knew that relying on the so-called Four Great Families and the City Lord’s Mansion was simply not enough to win. That’s why he had already begun to put his affairs in order.

"Take care of Qingcheng? Lord City Lord, you’re worrying too much. If the Demon Race invades, we’ll just have to face them together. There’s no use thinking about all this..." Nie Yun said, interrupting Luoo Zhanhao’s morbid arrangements.

"Face them? Luoshui City doesn’t have a single person at the Qi Sect level right now. How are we supposed to face them?" Luoo Zhanhao seemed angered by the young man’s "naive idea."

"Not a single one? Who says? My father, Nie Xiaotian, has already successfully broken through. He’s a Qi Sect Powerhouse now. And as for you... I’ll tell you the method to break through to the Qi Sect right now. In less than ten days, Luoshui City will definitely have another Qi Sect Powerhouse!" Nie Yun declared.

To others, the method to break through to the Qi Sect was priceless. But to an old soul like Nie Yun, who had lived two lives, it was worth less than an Ordinary Cultivation Technique. He could recite it off the top of his head, and his version was far more detailed and valuable than the one Nie Xiaotian had found in the Luoo Qu Tomb.

"Nie Xiaotian has already broken through? This..." Luoo Zhanhao’s eyes widened at the news, filled with disbelief. But then a thought occurred to him, and he sighed. "Even if I break through as well, Luoshui City will only have two Qi Sect Powerhouses. According to my intelligence, the Demon Race’s upcoming assault will be ferocious. Two Qi Sect Powerhouses will be but a drop in the ocean, completely useless..."

"Heh..." Hearing this, Nie Yun gave a faint smile. "And what if I told you that someone knows where the Luoo Qu Tomb is... and can find it?"

The words were faint, his voice wasn’t loud, but they landed like a clap of thunder.
