I Have Unlimited Dantians

"So this is the Sword Burial Valley?"

Once Jiangg Youx and the others had vanished from sight, Nie Yun emerged from his hiding place, gazing at the narrow, shadowy valley ahead.

He had never been to this valley in his past life, but the Spiritual Qi inside was abundant—it seemed to be at least twice as dense as in the outside world. ’With so much Spiritual Qi, there are bound to be many high-level Demon Beasts living here!’

Demon Beasts loved places rich in Spiritual Qi and enjoyed marking their own territory. Any stranger who intruded would be met with a fierce attack.

’I have to be careful...’

Having lived two lives, Nie Yun knew places like this were the most dangerous. With a flicker of movement, he slipped into the valley’s shadows and began to move forward slowly.

This type of stealth in darkness was a technique he had specifically learned in his past life for ambushing and killing powerful members of the Demon Race. It allowed him to use the terrain to perfectly conceal himself. When cultivated to the Great Success Level, he could sneak right up to an opponent without them necessarily noticing!

Although the valley seemed quiet, in Nie Yun’s eyes, it was fraught with peril. The Demon Beasts that had claimed this mountain could kill anyone who dared to enter!

Hugging the cliff wall, he slowly advanced. After about an hour, he saw Jiangg Youx and the others again.

They looked utterly wretched. Their team of over a dozen people had been reduced to just three or four, and every one of them was covered in blood and heavily injured.

’A fight with two Early-Stage Qi Sect Blood Pattern Tiger Lions? No wonder they look like this...’

Taking a closer look, Nie Yun understood what had happened.

It turned out the group had been careless and run into two Early-Stage Qi Sect Blood Pattern Tiger Lions!

A single Early-Stage Qi Sect Demon Beast could fight a Late-Stage Qi Sect expert, let alone two of them. Although Jiangg Youx’s group had managed to kill them after a great battle, they had suffered devastating losses. Nearly all of their dozen or so members were dead. Even Jiangg Youx himself had lost an arm, and half his body was dripping with blood from his severe injuries.

"How can there be so many Demon Beasts in this godforsaken place? Damn it! Vice Commander Jiangg, how much farther is it?"

Wei Chen asked, his expression ferocious as he wiped the sweat from his brow.

Although his strength was the lowest, he had plenty of tricks to save his own skin. Coupled with the protection of the others, he hadn’t been badly hurt himself. However, the shock of seeing his subordinates die one by one was too much. His eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke.

"Not far now. Let’s rest and recover first, then we’ll push through in one go!"

Jiangg Youx took out his map again to look at it, then pulled a jade bottle from his robes. He tipped out a few elixirs. "One for each of you. These are Qi Returning Pills. They can quickly restore your True Qi and heal your injuries!"

"Qi Returning Pills?"

Hearing the name, the few remaining survivors each took one and put it in their mouths.

Qi Returning Pills were Supreme Elixirs for Qi Sea Cultivators to restore their True Qi. Each one was incredibly precious. For Jiangg Youx to take out so many at once, he must have been gritting his teeth in regret.

Hidden in the shadows, Nie Yun watched them sit motionlessly. He wasn’t in a hurry, simply lying in wait, perfectly still and unperturbed.

Still as a statue, quick as a rabbit. An assassin who wants to kill must be able to endure loneliness. There were plenty of excellent assassins who would wait in one spot, unmoving, for years—even decades or a century—just to assassinate a supreme expert!

Of course, that was only if the assassin’s strength had surpassed the Qi Sect Realm. Otherwise, they would have starved to death long ago.

Although Nie Yun wasn’t an assassin, he had done his fair share of lying in wait to kill powerful members of the Demon Race. For him, this was merely reliving the assassination scenarios of his past life, and he didn’t feel the least bit impatient.

Wei Chen and the others rested for about half an hour. Once their pale complexions had returned to normal, they stood up and continued deeper into the valley.

The sun had set by now, making the valley even darker and more forbidding. The group’s members were all quite strong, so while they couldn’t see perfectly in the dark, it wasn’t far off. They continued on their way without any major issues.

’If this really is the Sword Burial Valley, why aren’t there any sealing formations? Or any traps?’

Continuing to trail the group, Nie Yun found it stranger and stranger the farther he went.

According to what he knew from his past life, the Sword Burial King was a legendary figure whose strength had reached at least the Ultimate Venerable Peak. If this was truly the place where he left his inheritance, it should have been sealed like the Luoo Qu Tomb. Why was there nothing here?

Not only were there no sealing formations, but there were no traps or mechanisms either. It felt like he was just walking through an ordinary valley, which left Nie Yun confused.

"Everyone, be on alert! According to the map, the Sword Burial Tomb is just ahead. Be extremely careful!"

The group advanced for several more miles, when Jiangg Youx suddenly stopped, his expression grave.

"It’s just ahead?"

Wei Chen and the others each drew their weapons, their spirits focused.

ROAR! AWOO!

Once they were ready, Wei Chen and his group moved forward again. They had only gone a few hundred meters when a cacophony of roars erupted from ahead, as if countless Demon Beasts were charging toward them.

"Crap, why are there so many Demon Beasts?! Run!"

Immediately after, Nie Yun heard Wei Chen’s shout.

Peeking out from his hiding place, Nie Yun’s expression changed instantly.

’Dragon-Transforming Apes, River-Swallowing Pythons, Spine Dragons... How can there be so many high-level Demon Beasts?’

A huge pack of Demon Beasts had suddenly appeared before him. Every single one was at the Qi Sect Level—a dense crowd of more than a dozen of them!

’More than a dozen Qi Sect-level Demon Beasts... How can there be so many?’

ROAR! ROAR!

Just as Nie Yun felt a chill and was about to retreat, a series of roars suddenly echoed from behind him. He glanced back, his fists clenching involuntarily.

Somehow, a dozen more Demon Beasts had appeared behind him!

Among these Demon Beasts, some were at the Peak of Armor Realm, others were at the Qi Sect Realm. All of them were huge and brawny. As they advanced, the ground rumbled as if a fleet of tanks was charging over.

’Could this not be the Sword Burial Valley, but a Demon Beast Valley?’

Seeing these Demon Beasts approach, Nie Yun’s heart sank.

A Demon Beast Valley was a valley where Demon Beasts gathered. Due to its unique geology and special Primordial Qi, many high-level Demon Beasts could coexist there peacefully without conflict.

Such places had always been forbidden zones for humans. According to what Nie Yun knew from his past life, the Divine Wind Empire had a total of three great Demon Beast Valleys, but... he had never heard of one being here!

How had a search for the Sword Burial Valley led him to a Demon Beast Valley?

"This is impossible! How can there be so many Demon Beasts..."

Seeing that the area before them, behind them, and even in the sky was filled with Demon Beasts, not only did Wei Chen’s face pale, but even Jiangg Youx was terrified. He frantically pulled the map from his robes and checked it again and again, but he couldn’t see where they had gone wrong. In a fit of rage, he threw the map to the ground.

ROAR!

With a roar, an Iron-Backed Bear ignored the panicking men and charged straight for Jiangg Youx. Its massive hands shot forward, grabbed his shoulders, and with a sickening RIP, tore him in half! Guts and blood splattered everywhere.

"Ahhh—!"

Wei Chen had never witnessed such a bloody scene. He let out a terrified scream, so scared that he lost control of his bowels. All his dignified air of a young master was gone.

But his terror wasn’t over. A roar sounded in his ear, and a massive River-Swallowing Python swallowed him whole in one gulp!

THUMP! THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!

Before Wei Chen, Jiangg Youx, and the others could even react, they were carved up by four or five powerful Demon Beasts, reduced to blood, mangled flesh, and corpses.

SCREECH!

Just as every member of the Luoyong Mercenary Corps lay dead and the beasts thought they had killed all the intruders, a Purple Flame Eagle in the sky let out a long cry. Its bulb-like eyes shot like lightning toward Nie Yun’s hiding place!
