I Have Unlimited Dantians

"Alright, come down! Just as we discussed, I want you to go with them for now. After you help them complete their mission, come find me!"

Nie Yun instructed, then added, "Try not to reveal your full strength right now. Otherwise, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble!"

’Although having an Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Pet can grant one power and authority in a short time, the tallest tree catches the most wind. Before I have the absolute strength to protect myself, it’s best not to reveal all my trump cards to outsiders. Otherwise, I’ll be the one to suffer in the end.’

"Yes, Master!"

A Demon Pet was bound by the Beast Taming Dantian. Once it acknowledged a master, it would obey their every command without question, not daring to talk back, even if it reached the Ultimate Venerable Level or a higher realm.

"Lord Nie Yun, we will definitely not speak a word about the Wind Wolf King!"

As Mercenaries, Tie Long and the others also knew how treacherous the world could be. Seeing the young man giving orders to the Wind Wolf King, they hurriedly spoke up.

"Heh, in that case... let’s part ways here!"

With a chuckle, Nie Yun tapped the ground with his toes and transformed into a streak of flowing light, soaring swiftly out of the valley. He vanished from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.

He and the Wind Wolf King were linked by the Beast Taming Dantian’s bond, allowing them to communicate even when hundreds of miles apart. There was no fear of them being unable to find each other.

"We were only strangers who met by chance, yet he saved our lives twice. Now he’s even letting an Ultimate Venerable Level Demon Pet accompany us to complete our mission. This debt of gratitude is simply too great..."

"Now *this* is what you call a powerhouse! *This* is what you call a genius!"

"To reach such a level at his age... It probably won’t be long before he reaches the Ultimate Venerable Realm. Lord Nie Yun will surely become famous throughout the Empire in the future!"

Watching the young man depart, all the members of the Mercenary Corps felt a deep sense of reverence welling up from the bottom of their hearts.

They were just strangers who had met him by chance, yet not only had he taught Wei Chen and his men a lesson for them, but he had also blocked the Wind Wolves’ attack. The debt of gratitude was immense, impossible to repay!

’He left... just like that...’

Watching the young man’s receding figure, Tie Lan stood quietly in place. Her face paled and flushed by turns, her white teeth biting down hard on her lip. It was impossible to know what she was thinking.

........................

"You’re sure you saw it correctly? That person really defeated the Wind Wolf King and took it as a Demon Pet?"

An unknown distance from the valley, a young man’s eyes went wide, unable to believe what he was hearing.

Before the young man stood the sinister, small-eyed Wei Liao. And the young man, of course, was Wei Chen, the Young Master of the Luoyong Mercenary Corps!

"Young Master, I saw it with my own eyes. There’s no mistake! I never would have thought that kid was a Beast Tamer too!" Wei Liao gave a bitter smile, the taste of ashes in his mouth.

He had come up with the foolproof plan of using the Wind Wolves to ambush the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps, but who could have known it would end up benefiting someone else so greatly? The whole affair left him feeling incredibly frustrated.

"Defeating a Peak of Qi Sect Wind Wolf King in a head-on fight... and he’s a Beast Tamer, too. Who the hell is that kid? How did the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps befriend someone with that kind of power?"

Wei Chen shook his head hard.

A young man who didn’t look very old had easily defeated a Peak of Qi Sect Wind Wolf King and even tamed it. Was... was he even human? ’How have I never heard of a character like this before?’

"I had a feeling that kid was trouble from the start, but I never expected him to be this powerful!"

At his side, Jiangg Youx’s expression also grew heavy.

His own strength was only at the Mid-Stage Qi Sect Realm, yet that young man had managed to defeat a Peak of Qi Sect Wolf King. The boy’s strength was far greater than his own!

"I slipped away and came back as soon as I saw him subdue the Wind Wolf King! Young Master, what do we do now?" Wei Liao asked, his small eyes glinting.

"What do we do? What *can* we do? A Peak of Qi Sect Demon Pet... Even my father probably couldn’t defeat it! What else can we possibly do?"

The more Wei Chen thought about it, the more furious he became.

He had thought that by running into Tie Lan this time, he could use his strength to win the beauty’s heart. He never expected some strange kid to appear out of nowhere, and one with such incredible power at that!

"Don’t be anxious, Young Master. As long as we find Sword Burial Valley and obtain the Sword Burial legacy, our strength will soar. Killing them will be no difficult task at all!"

An excited gleam appeared in Jiangg Youx’s eyes.

"That’s right. We were lucky enough to get the map to the Sword Burial legacy this time. They say that once we find the treasure, our strength is guaranteed to skyrocket. Hmph, that bitch Tie Lan will be mine sooner or later!"

Wei Chen immediately grew excited as well, the corners of his mouth slowly turning up in a smirk.

"Let’s get a move on. According to the map, we’re not far from Sword Burial Valley now. If we hurry, we might even make it there tonight!"

Jiangg Youx reached into his robes, pulled out an ancient-looking map, and studied it for a moment before speaking.

"Everyone, pick up the pace! We’re aiming to get there tonight!"

"Yes!"

The Mercenaries followed closely behind him, advancing quickly.

’Sword Burial Valley? Could it be the legacy left behind by the Sword Burial King?’

Not long after the Luoyong Mercenary Corps had passed, a figure landed softly on the path they had just trodden. It was none other than Nie Yun, who had been tracking them.

Nie Yun had originally planned to catch up to them and kill them on the spot, but then he overheard them talking about Sword Burial Valley.

Sword Burial Valley was said to be the place where the Sword Burial King had left his legacy. In his previous life, he had heard of it but never knew its location. He never expected to get a lead from these people’s conversation in this life.

The Sword Burial King was a supreme powerhouse from many years ago whose strength had reached at least the Ultimate Venerable Peak. However, it wasn’t his power that people envied, but his ability to forge swords!

Legend had it that he possessed an immense talent for sword forging. Every longsword he created could be sold for an astronomical price. They were so sought after that demand far outstripped supply, and many powerhouses considered it an honor just to wield one of his swords.

These were just rumors, and Nie Yun didn’t know the full story either. However, he had heard the name "Sword Burial King" many times in his past life.

Although he wasn’t particularly interested in weapons, the mention of Sword Burial Valley had piqued his curiosity. That was why he hadn’t attacked them directly, deciding instead to follow them quietly and see what was going on.

Jiangg Youx was a Qi Sect Powerhouse with a keen perception of his surroundings. Not daring to get too close, Nie Yun suppressed his aura and followed them from a distance, moving at high speed.

Among the Luoyong Mercenary Corps, even the weakest member, Wei Chen, was a Gang Formation Realm expert. Thus, their pace wasn’t slow. After traveling at high speed for seven or eight hours, they arrived in front of a long, narrow canyon just before nightfall.

The canyon was at least seven or eight hundred *li* long, stretching far into the distance. The cliffs on both sides were bare, revealing sheer faces of gray granite, while the valley floor below was overgrown with all kinds of vines and plants, shrouding it in a gloomy darkness.

No vegetation grew on the mountains, yet the valley was overrun with wild growth. It was an inexplicably strange sight.

"This is Sword Burial Valley. According to the map, the place we’re looking for should be just over a hundred *li* ahead. Let’s go!"

After standing at the valley entrance for a moment to get his bearings, Jiangg Youx confirmed their direction and led the group inside with large strides.
