I Have Unlimited Dantians

"Is it that bad?" Nie Yun hadn’t expected Luo Cheng and Luo Yu to be so vicious. These two mutated Tiger-Headed Beasts had long been the kings of the jungle, yet they had been wounded so severely that they were beyond saving!

ROAR!

As if it knew its injuries were incurable, the Male Tiger-Headed Beast glanced at Nie Yun, then its massive head turned to look at Xiaohu. It was as if it was arranging its final affairs, pleading with Nie Yun to treat its son well in the future.

"Rest assured, I’ll take care of Xiaohu!" Although he didn’t understand the language of beasts and lacked the so-called Beast Language Dantian, Nie Yun still understood its meaning and nodded.

The last time they met, it had forced him to hide in a pool for hours. To get out, he had even resorted to drugging it. He never would have thought that he and the beast, once adversaries, would meet again only for it to entrust its final wishes to him.

ROAR! Seeing the young man nod, a look of joy appeared in the Male Tiger-Headed Beast’s eyes. It suddenly let out a great roar, its body trembled, and a large bowlful of fresh blood erupted from its massive head.

This blood was a deeper red than normal, like boiling magma, constantly bubbling as if it could burst into flames at any moment.

As soon as the blood appeared, the Male Tiger-Headed Beast’s vitality plummeted. It lost all its vigor, seeming unable to hold on, as if it could die at any second.

The blood swirled within its massive paw for a moment before it swiped, sending the blood into Xiaohu’s body.

"This is... a Demon Beast’s Essence Blood?"

Seeing the Male Tiger-Headed Beast’s action, Nie Yun’s heart shuddered as he remembered something. Even an old soul like him, who was usually unfazed by favor or disgrace, couldn’t help but feel his heart ache as his eyes grew slightly red.

Unlike Demons who could undergo Demonization and possessed their own Demon Cores, the most precious thing a Demon Beast had was its Essence Blood!

Essence Blood was the condensed essence of one’s entire being, like the Inner Power of a Martial Arts Master or the True Qi of a Qi Sea Cultivator. Once it was lost, one’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit would wither. Even if uninjured, survival was uncertain, let alone in its current state!

The Male Tiger-Headed Beast gave all its Essence Blood to its son. It was perfectly compatible with him, so one could imagine that Xiaohu’s strength would definitely grow rapidly in the future!

To make its son stronger, it would rather give up its own hope of survival.

ROAR!

While Nie Yun’s eyes were still moist, he heard the female Tiger-Headed Beast beside him give a low roar as well, sending all of its Essence Blood into Xiaohu’s body.

It didn’t have as much Essence Blood as the male, but it was still a considerable amount. As it all merged into Xiaohu’s body, the cub’s aura began to climb steadily.

THUD! THUD!

After doing this, both the male and female Tiger-Headed Beasts collapsed to the ground, their huge eyes slowly closing.

They knew that if they closed their eyes now, they would never get up again, departing from the world forever. Yet, there wasn’t a trace of reluctance in their eyes. Instead, there was a sense of relief, as if their deaths were worth it.

"Oh, the depths of a parent’s love. If even beasts can act this way, it puts humanity to shame!"

Seeing the two Tiger-Headed Beasts breathe their last and Xiaohu fall into a deep sleep after absorbing their Essence Blood, Nie Yun couldn’t take it anymore. His vision went black, and he fainted.

This time, his unconsciousness seemed to last longer than before. An unknown amount of time passed before Nie Yun slowly regained consciousness, his awareness returning to his body.

"Last time, I swore I never wanted to feel this loss of control again. I can’t believe it’s already happened again so soon!"

He had fainted once before, after putting on an act in front of Yangg Tiecheng. Back then, he had secretly resolved that this should never happen again. After all, when unconscious, he had no control over his body or his will. At a time like that, even the lowest-level Demon Beast could kill him!

’I can’t believe I made the same mistake again so soon!’

’But thinking back, it was the only choice I had. Luo Yu and Luo Cheng were too powerful. I was no match for them. There was really no other way!’

"Huh? My strength broke through again?" As he stood up, intending to check on Xiaohu, he suddenly felt a surge of power inside him. With a mere circulation of his True Qi, layers of armor formed on the surface of his body. He had unknowingly reached the Early-Stage Armor Realm, the seventh level of the Qi Sea!

"Could it be that circulating the Nameless Technique with my spirit can cause my cultivation to advance?"

The last time he circulated it, he had fainted. When he woke up, his strength had advanced from the Peak of the Early-Stage True Qi Realm to the Mid-Stage. This time, he went from the Peak of Gang Formation Realm to the Early-Stage Armor Realm. Since he had advanced on both occasions, it was no wonder he thought this.

Although he might think that, Nie Yun knew it was just a coincidence. Last time, he had already reached the Peak of the Early-Stage True Qi Realm and was on the verge of a breakthrough. While he was unconscious, his True Qi had circulated automatically to protect his body, allowing him to break through his chains.

This time was much the same. After the first Nirvana of his Nine-Turn Nirvana Skill, he had already reached the Peak of Gang Formation Realm and was ready to break through at any moment. On top of that, the great slaughters involving the Nie Family and the City Lord’s Mansion had helped to consolidate both his Mental Realm and his strength. Nie Yun had originally estimated that he would break through within three days. He just never expected that after he fainted, his Seven Great Dantians would activate on their own and push his strength forward once more!

’Although the gap between the Armor Realm and the Gang Formation Realm isn’t as large as the one between the Armor Realm and the Qi Sect Realm, it’s still a significant watershed. Before, I was still a bit clumsy when using the Top-Grade Martial Art of a Marquis Clan, but now I can use it with ease. If I run into Luo Cheng and Luo Yu again, even if they team up, they’ll definitely be no match for me!’

Sensing the changes in his body, Nie Yun gained a clear understanding of his own strength.

Martial Arts and Cultivation Techniques were different. One could practice a high-level Cultivation Technique even with low strength, but forcefully using a high-level Martial Art without the required level would only backfire and cause great harm to one’s body.

The principle was the same as how one could practice the Muscle Changing Classic without Inner Strength, but not the Six Meridian Divine Sword. Although Nie Yun knew many Royal Family Martial Arts, his current strength was insufficient to use them!

For Qi Sea Cultivators, there were clear boundaries for the use of Martial Arts: cultivators below the Armor Realm used the Martial Arts of the Nobility; those in the Armor Realm used the Martial Arts of a Marquis Clan; those in the Qi Sect Realm used the Royal Family’s Martial Art. Only those at the Ultimate Venerable Level were qualified to execute a Royal Family Martial Art!

Previously, Nie Yun had relied on his Peak of Gang Formation Realm strength to forcefully execute the Eight Trigrams Overlapping Cloud Palm, a Top-Grade Martial Art of a Marquis Clan. That was already surprising enough; he was completely unqualified to use a Royal Family Martial Art!

As for the Chi Xiao Divine Axe he had previously taught Yangg Yan, although it was a Royal Family’s Martial Art, it was divided into many moves, each one harder than the last. Strictly speaking, the first few moves could only be considered Martial Arts of the Nobility, so they could be practiced even with low strength.

Now that he had reached the Armor Realm, the True Qi in his Qi Sea was twice as pure. Nie Yun could perfectly execute the Martial Arts of a Marquis Clan, and his strength had more than doubled!

In that case, even without playing any tricks, Luo Yu and Luo Cheng would definitely be no match for him!

"How is Xiaohu?"

After assessing the changes in himself, Nie Yun looked up in Xiaohu’s direction. With just a single glance, a look of utter shock appeared in his eyes.

"This... this, how is this possible!"
