I Have Unlimited Dantians

They had seen an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse before—their family’s very own patriarch!

But even their patriarch’s aura wasn’t as profound and powerful as this. It felt as if the owner of this aura could deal with them without even lifting a finger. If his voice were just a little louder, it could shatter their Qi Seas, cause their Dantians to collapse, and turn them into useless cripples!

’How could the Divine Wind Empire have someone so powerful?’

’Doesn’t the Empire only have four Ultimate Venerables in total? And they’re all in the Imperial Capital. When did one pop up in this backwater place?’

Luo Cheng and Luo Yu were both on the verge of tears from fright.

’If we’d known these Tiger-Headed Beasts were this old monster’s Demon Pets, we wouldn’t have come near them, not even if we were bored out of our minds!’

"Senior, we truly meant no offense. This is our compensation. We hope that Senior, in your great magnanimity, will spare two ignorant juniors like us!" Luo Yu gritted his teeth, took out a stack of silver notes from his robes, and placed it on the ground.

Although he didn’t know where this senior was, the man’s aura alone was enough to extinguish any thought of resistance.

It wasn’t that the two were stupid; they had seen an Ultimate Venerable Level powerhouse before and knew how terrifying such experts were! This aura was pure and vast, even more powerful than the Venerable they had met. For someone of this strength, killing them would be no different from crushing an ant. How could they possibly resist?

"Hmph. You think I have any need for this money? You harmed my pets. Now you’ll leave your lives behind!"

The aged voice snorted coldly again. Immediately, a powerful pressure crashed down like a torrential downpour, threatening to crush the two to their knees at any moment.

"Senior, spare us! My grandfather is the Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse of Divine Wind City, Luo Tianxiang! We hope you will spare our lives for his sake! These are all the Elixirs and treasures we have on us. They may be useless to you, Senior, but they should be helpful for healing these Demon Pets..."

Sensing the pressure reach a critical point and feeling that the supreme expert could strike at any moment, Luo Cheng and Luo Yu could no longer hold back. They hastily took out all the good things they had on them and brought up their patriarch’s name.

Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses held extremely high status in the Divine Wind Empire. Even if this person was a recluse, mentioning their patriarch’s name should still have some effect!

Of course, they also brought up their patriarch’s name to test the waters. If the person knew their patriarch, there would be nothing more to say—they would be better off fleeing immediately. If he didn’t, then they would have to reconsider.

After all, there weren’t many Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses. Typically, after one’s promotion, the Empire would hold a special ceremony so that the supreme experts could get to know one another.

"Luo Tianxiang? You are his descendants? Tianxiang and I met once. Has the old injury in his leg ever healed?"

The aged voice spoke slowly, as if recalling a memory from countless years ago.

As soon as these words were spoken, the overwhelming pressure vanished as if it had never been there at all.

To be able to unleash and withdraw such immense pressure on a whim, as easily as breathing, left Luo Cheng and Luo Yu profoundly shaken once more.

’It seems... even Grandfather doesn’t have this kind of ability!’

"Thank you for your concern, Senior. The old injury in Grandfather’s leg has not yet fully healed. It still bothers him whenever the weather is damp and rainy..."

Although their grandfather, Luo Tianxiang, was an Ultimate Venerable Level powerhouse, he had suffered a serious illness in his youth. It hadn’t been treated in time, leaving him with a chronic ailment: whenever the weather turned damp and rainy, his right leg would ache faintly. This had always been the family’s greatest secret, known only to its core members. For this old man to mention it so casually, all their doubts vanished, and they replied with the utmost respect.

"It hasn’t healed yet... Little Brother Tianxiang has had it rough all these years!" the old man’s voice rang out again. After a pause, it continued, "Since you are the descendants of an old acquaintance, I won’t make things difficult for you. Scram!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Hearing that mentioning their patriarch’s name had worked, the two breathed a sigh of relief in unison. Wiping the cold sweat from their brows, they hurriedly retreated out of the cave. The moment they were outside, they didn’t even dare to pause, immediately bolting into the distance at top speed!

Only then did the two realize that they were drenched in cold sweat. The sweat soaked their clothes, making them cling uncomfortably to their skin.

"Luo Yu, what do we do now?"

The two sprinted for dozens of li before finally slowing to a halt, letting out a breath of relief.

"What else can we do? If we’d known those Tiger-Headed Beasts belonged to an old monster like that, we wouldn’t have touched them even if we were crazy. Forget it, we’re lucky to have escaped with our lives. Luoshui City is right ahead. Let’s find a place to stay. While we’re there, we can go threaten some prominent family to recoup our losses, and then head back. I think we should still tell the patriarch about this, though. Judging by that man’s tone, he must be a friend of his. If the patriarch is happy to hear about it, then this trip won’t have been a complete waste," Luo Yu said after a moment of thought.

"Mm, I guess that’s our only option now. Let’s go." Luo Cheng considered it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

...

HUFF!

Luo Cheng and Luo Yu had no idea that just as they left, a figure behind a protruding rock in the cave collapsed to the ground with a THUMP, desperately suppressing the bone-piercing pain in his mind as he gasped for breath.

It was none other than Nie Yun, who had been channeling his Spiritual Power according to the Nameless Technique to project that powerful aura!

’I didn’t expect those two to be from the Luo Family of Divine Wind City. Luckily, in my past life, after I reached the Ultimate Venerable Level, I fought alongside their patriarch, Luo Tianxiang, against the Demon Race. We were very familiar with each other. Otherwise, my cover would have been blown for sure!’

Recalling the danger just now, Nie Yun couldn’t help but feel a surge of relief. If he hadn’t known Luo Tianxiang in his past life and been aware of the hidden injury in his leg, it would have been nearly impossible to scare those two away so quickly.

In his past life, after fleeing Luoshui City, he had endured great humiliation and hardship, biding his time and honing his skills for ten long years. He then stunned everyone by taking first place in the talent competition held by the Divine Wind Empire’s Royal Family. From then on, his Cultivation progressed unimpeded, and he successfully advanced to the Ultimate Venerable Realm!

In the Ultimate Venerable Realm, he had cultivated the Nine-Turn Nirvana Skill, making his power far more profound than that of his peers. During an expedition to the Zihua Cave Mansion, Luo Tianxiang had served as one of his subordinates. To better synergize with the team, Luo Tianxiang had been the first to disclose his own weaknesses, which is why Nie Yun had an impression of him.

To think that in his past life, the Luo Family patriarch had been his subordinate, yet now, after his rebirth, he was forced to bluff in front of the man’s descendants. The memories of both lives intertwined, seeming to flash by in an instant, and Nie Yun couldn’t help but shake his head wryly.

Forcing down the dizziness in his mind, he struggled to his feet and walked over to Xiaohu and the others.

ROAR!

Seeing another person approach, the Male and Female Tiger-Headed Beasts bared their fangs and snarled again, seemingly unaware that the person before them had just saved their lives.

ROAR!

Startled to see his parents roaring at his master, Xiaohu quickly communicated with the two Tiger-Headed Beasts for some time. Only then did the two massive creatures relax their hostility. The moment their spirits eased, their bodies could no longer hold up, and they collapsed to the ground with a loud THUMP! THUMP!

"This..."

Seeing the two large beasts collapse, Nie Yun finally noticed their injuries. The two massive creatures were covered in blood; their internal organs and all the bones in their bodies had been completely shattered by the impact!

In this state, they were clearly beyond saving.
