I Have Unlimited Dantians

"Heh, I have other matters to attend to."

Nie Yun shook his head.

’The Luoyong Mercenary Corps and the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps are already enemies. I’m going to kill Wei Chen and the others myself precisely so I don’t drag them into this, so there’s no need to explain everything.’

’Besides, with the Wind Wolf King and the Copper-Armed Giant Ape protecting her, Tie Lan will be safe. I can’t just follow her around forever, can I?’

"I... Can I know your real name?"

Hearing the young man’s decision, Tie Lan took a deep breath and asked.

From her initial misunderstanding to her later shock, Tie Lan couldn’t quite put a finger on what she felt for the young man before her. She only knew that if he really left, she would feel an immense sense of loss.

"My name is Nie Yun," Nie Yun said with a smile.

’It’s not like they’re idiots. They must have figured out long ago that the name Yangg Yun was fake.’

"Nie Yun? So it really is you!"

Tie Lan seemed to have confirmed her suspicions. She suddenly recalled her brazen declaration about becoming Nie Yun’s concubine, and her face instantly turned red.

Nie Yun knew that after displaying his strength, it wouldn’t be too difficult for others to guess his identity. Just as he was about to say something, the Wind Wolf King’s voice once again transmitted through his Beast Taming Dantian.

’Master, if I were uninjured, protecting them would be no problem, but now...’

Yesterday, Nie Yun had pummeled the Wind Wolf King with a flurry of punches and kicks, breaking who knows how many of its bones. Its injuries were severe. Even with a Demon Beast’s excellent constitution, it would still need half a month to fully recover.

"That’s simple."

With a faint smile, Nie Yun gestured downward with his hand. A dense stream of Healing Qi completely enveloped the Wind Wolf King.

’Healing Qi? Master is also a Healer?’

Sensing the restorative properties of this aura, the Wind Wolf King’s large eyes widened like gongs.

’Only now did it understand why its master had been so resilient during their fight yesterday, remaining full of life no matter how much it was beaten. It turns out he’s a Healer!’

’A Beast Tamer, a Healer... and judging by that elusive spear from yesterday, he also has a Storage Dantian. It seems this master I’ve acknowledged is no simple character. Perhaps he can lead me to greater heights in the future!’

At this thought, the Wind Wolf King suddenly felt that accepting a master was actually a very fortunate thing.

CRACKLE! POP!

Enveloped in the Healing Qi, a series of crisp pops echoed from the Wind Wolf King’s body as its injuries began to heal at a visible rate.

Seeing this, Tie Lan and Tie Long were once again startled.

They never would have dreamed that this incredibly talented young man was not only a Beast Tamer but a Healer as well!

’Master, I think I’m about to break through...’

Just as Nie Yun was recklessly pouring Healing Qi over the Wind Wolf King, a voice suddenly sounded from within his Beast Taming Dantian.

"You’re breaking through?"

Nie Yun stared at the Wind Wolf King in disbelief.

The Wind Wolf King was currently at the Peak of Qi Sect. A breakthrough would mean reaching the Ultimate Venerable Level!

An Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Beast, even at the initial stage, could fight against an Ultimate Venerable Peak Powerhouse!

’How terrifying!’

’I had already reached the critical point for the Peak of Qi Sect. After you heavily injured me yesterday, Master, I immediately sensed the bottleneck to the Ultimate Venerable Realm as soon as I recovered. I should be able to break through any moment now...’

After transmitting this, the Wind Wolf King closed its eyes, seemingly striving to break through the chains to the Ultimate Venerable Realm.

Although Wind Wolves typically reached the Peak of Qi Sect upon adulthood, there had been Ultimate Venerable Level ones in history. Nie Yun just never expected the Demon Pet he’d subdued would be able to reach such a realm!

’To subdue a Demon Pet at the Peak of Qi Sect only for it to become an Ultimate Venerable Demon Beast the very next day... I’ve really hit the jackpot!’

RUMBLE!

As this thought crossed his mind, a swirling vortex of wind abruptly appeared around the Wind Wolf King. The Wind Momentum grew stronger and stronger, blowing everyone aside.

"What’s happening?"

The members of the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps were all stunned by the scene before them.

But what shocked them even more happened next. The Wind Wolf King, which had been lying on the ground, actually began to float slowly into the air amidst the wind. It flew higher and higher, its entire body exuding a terrifying aura.

"This is... Could the Wind Wolf King be breaking through to the Ultimate Venerable Realm?"

As expected of a Qi Sect Powerhouse, the well-informed Tie Long was the first to realize what was happening, his eyes wide as saucers.

"That’s right. It is breaking through," Nie Yun confirmed with a nod.

BOOM!

The words had barely left his mouth when the swirling Wind Momentum was instantly swallowed by the Wind Wolf King in a single gulp. Its massive lupine body hovered in the air, its eyes flashing with intense excitement as it looked at Nie Yun.

"Master!"

This time, it wasn’t a sound transmission through the Beast Taming Dantian, but a voice spoken aloud!

The Ultimate Venerable Level was far more powerful than the Qi Sect. Upon reaching this level, both humans and Demon Beasts would undergo a complete metamorphosis, inside and out, gaining some unimaginable abilities.

The most obvious of these abilities was flight!

Whether human or Demon Beast, as long as one reached the Ultimate Venerable Level, they could traverse the skies. They could fly even without wings!

When a Demon Beast reached this level, it could not only fly but also speak human language!

"Ultimate Venerable... It really reached the Ultimate Venerable Level!"

Seeing the Wind Wolf King not only fly but also speak, Nie Yun clenched his fists.

’I can’t believe I haven’t reached the Ultimate Venerable Level yet, but a Demon Pet I subdued has reached it first!’

"Master... a Demon Beast that can talk..."

The scene before them made Tie Long and the others look at Nie Yun again, their gazes filled with awe and fear.

If the gap between the Armor Realm and the Qi Sect was a difficult chasm to cross, then the gap between the Qi Sect and the Ultimate Venerable Realm was an insurmountable abyss!

In the Divine Wind Empire, one could find hundreds of powerhouses at the Qi Sect level, but Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses could be counted on one hand! The numbers alone showed the vast difference between the two!

An Ultimate Venerable was the foundation of an Empire. Possessing an Ultimate Venerable was equivalent to wielding the highest level of martial power. Before, when this young man showed the strength of the Peak of Qi Sect, the group wasn’t overly fearful—after all, the leaders of the Three Great Mercenary Corps were at that same level. But possessing an Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Pet was a different story entirely!

Having a Demon Pet of this caliber meant he now possessed peak combat strength. Not even His Majesty the Emperor of the Divine Wind Empire would dare to move against him!

One had to understand that even if the Imperial Family had an Ultimate Venerable Ancestor, that ancestor would never offend a powerhouse of the same level just for the sake of an Emperor!

After all, the Emperor was merely a puppet of the Ultimate Venerable Ancestor. If the ancestor deemed him unsuitable, he could be replaced at any time!

If you were to offend an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse and they became enraged, a single punch could destroy half of the entire Imperial Capital!

To put it bluntly, if a Qi Sect Powerhouse was still considered a Mortal, then an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse had already transcended mortality!

For example, a Peak Powerhouse of Qi Sect could fight against a hundred men. They could even escape from an army of a thousand, perhaps even taking the enemy general’s head. But they would be helpless against an army of ten thousand!

No matter how strong you were, your True Qi was finite. Before you could kill everyone, your strength would be exhausted, and you would be nothing but fish on a chopping block.

An Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse was different. Their True Qi was connected to the heavens and the earth, and the cycle of their Qi Sea was endless. Forget ten thousand men—even an army of a hundred thousand or a million would find it impossible to kill them!

Because of this, the key to establishing an Empire wasn’t the size of your army or the discipline of your troops, but how many Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses you possessed!

A single Ultimate Venerable could stand against an army of hundreds of thousands. This was no exaggeration!

An Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Beast, with its invincible defense and extreme physical strength, was even more terrifying!

Once this young man brought this Demon Beast to the Imperial Capital, he would surely be aggressively courted by the Imperial Family. It wasn’t out of the question for him to become a figure who surpassed the Princes and stood as an equal to the Emperor himself!
