I Have Unlimited Dantians

"This... is actually the Luoo Qu Tomb? Why would the Luoo Qu Tomb be built at the bottom of a pool?"

Above the Stone Gate were three large words written in seal script: "Luoo Qu Tomb".

The Luoo Qu Tomb, which City Lord Luoo Zhanhao had searched for for years without success, was actually beneath the pool in this canyon. ’How strange!’

"So this is the Luoo Qu Tomb, the place Father came to all those years ago? Why isn’t the method to advance to the Qi Sect written anywhere? Could Father have gone inside the Stone Gate?"

After a look around, he still couldn’t find the so-called method to advance to the Qi Sect, and Nie Yun was puzzled.

If Father hadn’t entered the Stone Gate, just like him, then the method to advance to the Qi Sect should be written here somewhere. ’But why are the surrounding walls as smooth as mirrors, with nothing on them?’

’I’ll try to open this Stone Gate with a Martial Art. If it doesn’t open, then so be it!’

’If I can open it, great. If not, I can just bring Qingcheng here later.’ With this casual thought in mind, the True Qi in Nie Yun’s body surged, forming a thick layer of armor on his skin.

At the Qi Sea Seventh Layer Armor Realm, one could form True Qi armor on their body. The defensive power of this armor was comparable to a Noble Low-Grade battle suit. Nie Yun’s True Qi was already denser than an ordinary person’s, and with the addition of his Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique, even a full-force attack from an Early-Stage Qi Sect Powerhouse might not be able to break through his defenses in his current state!

’Among the Top-Grade Martial Arts of the Marquis Clan that I know, the one with the strongest Attack Power should be the [Great Rock-Splitting Palm]. I’ll practice this move now to shatter this gate!’

With his defenses ready, Nie Yun took a deep breath. His Seven Great Dantians began to slowly circulate according to the method of the Great Rock-Splitting Palm, and a ball of scorching golden light quickly gathered in his palm.

If others obtained a Marquis Clan’s Top-Grade Martial Art like the Great Rock-Splitting Palm, they would probably need to cultivate it for at least a year or two, or even longer. But Nie Yun was different. He had practiced this move in his previous life and was extremely familiar with it. Plus, his body had been transformed by the Nameless Technique, leaving all his Meridians clear and unobstructed. It only took a moment for him to finish gathering his power, which was now surging and ready to be unleashed.

"Break!"

With the tip of his tongue pressed against the roof of his mouth, Nie Yun let out a sharp cry. His body moved, and he viciously slammed his palm into the Stone Gate!

Although the Great Rock-Splitting Palm was only a Marquis Clan’s Top-Grade Martial Art, it was known for its ferocious power. When executed at full force, its might was no less than that of a Royal Family’s Low-Grade Martial Art. Since Nie Yun had been gathering power for some time, this strike was even more potent. As he unleashed it, the entire stone chamber filled with his dense True Qi. A massive True Qi stream formed a palm seal taller than a man and whistled as it crashed into the Stone Gate!

There are as many species in the world as grains of sand in the Ganges, but when it comes to strength, nothing can compare to the elephant. Legend has it that this ancient creature could shatter the heavens and earth with a stomp of its foot and reverse the course of rivers with a flick of its trunk!

The Qi Sea Eighth Layer, the Qi Sect realm, was so powerful because reaching it was said to grant a cultivator the might of a single elephant!

One Elephant Power—the full might of a single ancient elephant!

Nie Yun was currently only at the Early-Stage Armor Realm, still a great distance from the so-called One Elephant Power. However, when combined with the Great Rock-Splitting Palm, his entire body erupted with Qi Force. In terms of the palm seal’s power alone, even if it didn’t quite reach the might of one elephant, it wasn’t far off! It was nearly as strong as a full-force strike from an ordinary Early-Stage Qi Sect Powerhouse!

BOOM!

Such a powerful Palm Seal slammed into the Stone Gate, letting out a huge bang before everything fell silent. Forget opening—the Stone Gate didn’t even seem to tremble!

’No wonder the City Lord said it’s impossible to enter without Qingcheng’s blood, unless one’s strength surpasses that of an Ultimate Venerable. So it’s true!’

Nie Yun wasn’t surprised that the Stone Gate remained shut. ’If it were that easy to open, Father probably would have done it long ago!’

He sighed. Just as he was about to leave and come back another time, a light flashed across the Stone Gate, and a line of crystalline script appeared. ’So this is how Father found the method to advance to the Qi Sect back then.’

’A touch-activated Secret Technique that only reveals itself after a full-force attack... how strange!’

Even in his previous life, Nie Yun had never seen a Secret Technique like this, where text would appear after being attacked.

’The method to advance to the Ultimate Venerable realm? Wasn’t it supposed to be the method for the Qi Sect realm?’

After a moment of admiration, he looked at the script on the Stone Gate, and his expression immediately turned peculiar.

The Stone Gate was actually displaying the method for advancing to the Ultimate Venerable realm, written out in an eloquent passage of over three thousand words.

’Didn’t Father see the method to advance to the Qi Sect realm? Why did it change to the method for the Ultimate Venerable realm for me? Does the script on this Stone Gate alternate?’

’That’s right. The power I just unleashed was infinitely close to a full-force attack from an Early-Stage Qi Sect Powerhouse. The Stone Gate must have mistaken me for a Qi Sect Powerhouse and displayed the method to advance to the Ultimate Venerable realm!’

After a moment’s thought, Nie Yun figured it out and smiled.

Whether it was the method to advance to the Qi Sect realm or the Ultimate Venerable realm, it would have been incredibly important to anyone else. To him, however, it was of no consequence.

After all, having lived two lives, he was already well-versed in how to advance through the various realms. The text on the gate wasn’t even as detailed as what he already knew!

In fact, this thing called advancement was also closely related to personal talent, perseverance, and opportunity. Even if you knew all the secrets to advancing through the realms, if your talent was too poor and you didn’t have enough opportunities, you still couldn’t advance!

The script on the Stone Gate remained for about five minutes before slowly fading away. Nie Yun searched the area again, and after confirming there was no way in besides the Stone Gate, he had no choice but to return to the opening and re-enter the pool.

The pool’s water was as cold as before. While in the water, he conveniently washed off the grime accumulated from his breakthrough over the past day and night. Nie Yun then climbed ashore and returned to the cave where Xiaohu was.

By this time, Xiaohu’s advancement had stopped. He had reached the Peak of Qi Sect!

Although this trip into the Cold Pool hadn’t revealed the main reason for Xiaohu’s rapid improvement, Nie Yun was now certain it was related to the Luoo Qu Tomb!

’For an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse to use a Secret Technique that even I can’t comprehend for a seal... it seems the Luoo Qu Tomb is truly extraordinary!’

’Well now, I didn’t expect this Luo Yu and Luo Cheng to be so rich!’

Since Xiaohu hadn’t woken up yet, Nie Yun, feeling bored, let his gaze fall on the items Luo Yu and Luo Cheng had left behind.

The first thing that caught his eye was a thick stack of silver notes. Each one had a face value of ten thousand, and stacked up, there were actually fifty of them!

Fifty notes amounted to five hundred thousand taels of silver. ’As expected of young masters from the Imperial Capital. The cash they carry around is equal to the entire liquid capital of the Four Great Families combined.’

Tossing the silver notes casually into his Storage Dantian, Nie Yun’s eyes fell upon the pile of elixirs and other such items.

There was nothing special about these things; they were almost all ordinary elixirs for healing and restoring True Qi. As long as he had enough Medicinal Materials, Nie Yun could refine as many as he wanted. They weren’t precious.

’Hm? That’s right. Earlier, those two were talking about a backpack and something called the Seven Swords. Could this backpack be hiding some huge secret?’

After putting all these miscellaneous things into his Storage Dantian, Nie Yun suddenly recalled the conversation he had overheard while tailing the two. Without hesitation, he flipped his wrist and took out the backpack he had retrieved from the bottom of the pool that day.

After checking the backpack at the bottom of the pool and finding no special items, he had casually tossed it into his Dantian. He had been too busy these past few days to take it out. Now, taking it out and examining it carefully, his expression suddenly turned strange, and he cried out in surprise.

"Huh? This is..."
