I Have Unlimited Dantians

’An Illusion Realm... so it really is an Illusion Realm. What a terrifying one!’

Opening his eyes, Nie Yun could still feel the tremor in his heart. His entire body felt drained as if he had just survived a great battle.

’In my past life, I never even said "I love you" before you were gone forever!’

’In my past life, I never even gave you a single hug before your precious life was lost!’

’This life, I will never let that happen again. I will protect you and not let any harm come to you...’

Thinking of his current situation, Nie Yun clenched his fists, his fighting spirit reigniting throughout his body.

In his past life, all he had wanted was to give her the highest status and the best life. He never knew that deep down, all she wanted was to sit quietly with him in a small boat, watching the clouds drift by.

’I shouldn’t think about this for now. My strength is still too low, and she’s on the Floating Heaven Continent. Once I’ve handled things here, I’ll go find her!’

He took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his heart. The thought that he might be able to meet her again in reality brought a smile to his face, and he looked up.

’If I’m not mistaken, this should be a Pure Illusion Spirit Stone. It can draw out the purest and most genuine thoughts from deep within a person’s heart!’

Nie Yun recognized the Spirit Stone in the air from the memories of his past life.

The Pure Illusion Spirit Stone was a supreme Spirit Stone capable of making people unconsciously enter an Illusion Realm. A single sweep of its light would activate the experiences one found hardest to let go of—the most unforgettable, the most cherished, and naturally, the purest and most genuine thoughts!

Many Sect Leaders of Major Sects also liked to use this item to test their disciples, as it could activate their innermost feelings and reveal their true character.

"Whoever dares to touch my brother, I’ll kill them! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Just as he was pondering the wonders of the Pure Illusion Spirit Stone, a furious roar erupted beside him. He turned his head to see his younger brother, Nie Tong, his face contorted with rage and his eyes bloodshot.

It looked like he hadn’t woken up from the Illusion Realm’s influence yet.

’This kid... even in an Illusion Realm, he’s still thinking of protecting me. He really is...’

Seeing his brother’s expression, Nie Yun was deeply moved.

The Pure Illusion Spirit Stone could activate the truest emotions within a person. It seemed his brother’s greatest wish was to protect him and keep him from harm.

WHOOSH!

His brother recovered from the illusion.

"Brother, are you okay? You scared me to death!" As soon as Nie Tong opened his eyes and saw Nie Yun standing beside him unharmed, he patted his chest and breathed a silent sigh of relief.

"Haha, what could happen to me? What kind of Illusion Realm were you just in? I heard you shouting ’Kill! Kill! Kill!’"

Nie Yun asked with a smile.

"When I looked at that Spirit Stone, I felt like I’d entered a vast world. There were a lot of people my age there, all practicing their swords. Their Swordsmanship was incredible, so I started learning from them! But I hadn’t been learning for long when I saw some Demons ambushing you. I couldn’t be bothered with learning anymore. I charged over and fought a huge battle with them, and then I woke up!"

Nie Tong scratched his head.

"Heh."

Hearing his brother’s words, a pang of pain struck Nie Yun’s heart.

The Pure Illusion Spirit Stone represented purity and truth. It usually made a person experience two illusions. The first was their purest thought. For him, after his rebirth and seeing his parents and others safely again, his purest thought was to see *her* again, to be with her, so the first Illusion Realm had made that come true.

The second was his truest desire. His truest desire was for her to live, and so the illusion had shown him watching her slowly fade away, leaving him behind.

Hearing about his brother’s illusion, Nie Yun knew that his brother’s first and purest thought was to practice the sword, to be able to practice Swordsmanship freely with many other people! And his truest desire was for Nie Yun’s safety, so that he could protect his brother forever!

"Nie Tong, you’ve been through a lot."

Nie Yun said softly, pulling his brother into his arms.

His brother was so young, yet all he thought about was protecting him. In his past life, it was probably this last bit of resolve in his heart that allowed him to endure 137 sword wounds and hold on until he was saved.

"Haha, I just like practicing Swordsmanship. Oh, right, Brother, I still haven’t given you that oil lamp you had me take back in the passage. Here!"

Nie Tong suddenly remembered something and laughed, taking a small oil lamp from his clothes.

"You keep it. It’s called the Illusory Heart Celestial Demon Lamp. Once lit, it can plunge a person into an Illusion Realm. You can use it to practice breaking through to the Secret Realm. Inside the illusion, you can make the attempt a hundred, even a thousand times, without putting any burden on your body. You’ll only accumulate experience for the real breakthrough! That’s why it’s a supreme treasure for reaching the Secret Realm!"

Nie Yun glanced at it but didn’t take it, explaining with a smile instead.

The Secret Realm was the greatest hurdle for a Qi Sea Cultivator. Breaking through was extremely difficult, and there was no Elixir that could guarantee immediate success. But this item was different.

The Illusory Heart Celestial Demon Lamp could create an illusion of breaking through to the Secret Realm, one that felt completely real. The key difference was that even if the attempt failed, the user wouldn’t suffer any backlash. This allowed one to accumulate limitless experience. The Secret Realm might be difficult to breach, but after failing once, twice... after honing one’s attempt a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times, the real breakthrough would surely become very simple!

That was why, back then, anyone who obtained this item was said to have a one-hundred-percent chance of entering the Secret Realm. It was precisely for this reason that it was coveted by so many!

"I don’t want it. You should give it to Father and the others. Once my power reaches its limit, I’ll charge straight into the Secret Realm. I’ll definitely succeed!" Nie Tong pushed the Illusory Heart Celestial Demon Lamp toward Nie Yun, his eyes filled with firm, unshakeable confidence.

"Haha!" Seeing his brother’s resolute attitude, Nie Yun didn’t argue. He took the Illusory Heart Celestial Demon Lamp and stored it in his Storage Dantian.

For a Cultivator, the first requirement was a firm Dao Heart. Only with unwavering confidence could one walk farther on their path and grow stronger!

If one lacked confidence in everything they did, they would regress and find it difficult to find motivation again.

The Illusory Heart Celestial Demon Lamp was said to be a supreme treasure for advancing to the Secret Realm. In reality, breakthroughs were best done in one go. While countless trials could grant a person rich experience, they could also foster dependency.

Once that dependency formed, they would become timid and lack confidence during their next advancement. The slightest mistake could lead to death!

His brother intended to make the breakthrough on his own, and Nie Yun knew this was a sign of his confidence. Since that was the case, he naturally wouldn’t object.

"Don’t worry, Brother. I will definitely succeed in breaking through to the Secret Realm and mastering my Swordsmanship. My dream is that one day, my Swordsmanship will be able to found its own school. Countless people will learn from me, and under the gaze of a huge crowd, I’ll stand on a high platform and announce to everyone that you, Brother, are my greatest teacher! Without you, I’d still be nothing!"

His brother said with a laugh.

"Haha!" Hearing his brother’s aspiration, Nie Yun smiled and ruffled his hair. "Alright, then. I’ll be waiting to see you ascend that high platform under the watchful eyes of the crowd and have countless people learn the sword from you!"

"Don’t worry, Brother. I will definitely succeed!"

Nie Tong nodded, his eyes showing a resolute look.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

While the two brothers were talking and laughing, Huangg Ling and the others also recovered from the Illusion Realm. Each of them had sweat beading on their foreheads, and their eyes were filled with terror.

It seemed they had also experienced their most painful moment and were terrified by it.

The speed of recovery from the Illusion Realm was related to the strength of one’s soul. Although Nie Tong’s soul wasn’t as strong as Nie Yun’s, his will was firm, so he wasn’t much slower. Huangg Ling and the others were different. Though their souls were strong, they had experienced too little slaughter, so it took them much longer than the two brothers to break free from the illusion.

RUMBLE!

"Successors, the fact that you have been able to enter the Inner Hall of the Zihua Cave Mansion shows that you possess great fortune. I will subject you to a series of trials. As long as you meet my requirements, I will grant you ample rewards!"

Suddenly, a loud noise echoed from above the hall. The ground began to tremble, and a massive portal appeared at the far end of the hall before everyone.

"This is your trial. Failure means death. It is not too late to withdraw now. Just say the word ’withdraw,’ and you will be automatically teleported out. You will also be given a Spiritual Soldier as a gift, so you do not have to leave this Treasure Mountain empty-handed!"

The voice was vast and resonant, echoing across countless years. It rang deep in their hearts, so powerful it made them dizzy.

"Leave a Treasure Mountain empty-handed? I definitely won’t withdraw!"

Huangg Ling was the first to declare his intentions, his eyes glowing with excitement.

"I’m not leaving either!" Qii Tao also nodded repeatedly.

Soon, everyone had made their decision. Not a single one of them planned to turn back.

It was no wonder. They had survived against all odds for the sake of this treasure. Now that it was right in front of them, if they were to back down, their minds would surely be affected even if they made it out alive. It would be difficult for them to ever advance again.

Advancement in Cultivation depended on Heart, Spirit, Qi, and Treasure! Heart came first. Without confidence, it wouldn’t matter how strong one’s Spirit, how dense one’s True Qi, or how powerful one’s treasures were!

Therefore, even though they all knew the danger, they had to press on to bolster their confidence.

"Let’s go."

With everyone’s decision made, they had no more reservations and walked toward the open portal. Before they could reach it, Nie Yun suddenly blocked their path.

"Nie Yun, what’s the meaning of this? Don’t tell me you plan to kill us all here and take the treasure for yourself?"

At Huangg Ling’s words, the remaining four people all took on grave expressions, as if they would team up against Nie Yun the moment he dared to make a move.

"Don’t misunderstand. I was just going to say that since this is a trial, it will surely be fraught with danger. It wouldn’t be worth it if we were ambushed by someone while we were inside!" Nie Yun gave a faint smile, turned around, and said in a clear voice, "You two who’ve been following us, there’s no need to hide anymore. Come on out!"

"What? Two people hiding and following us?"

Hearing the young man’s voice, both Huangg Ling’s and Moh Wudao’s faces turned extremely grim.

"Haha, a Secret Realm Powerhouse is truly a Secret Realm Powerhouse! Even hiding like this, we couldn’t fool you!"

A loud laugh rang out. From the other side of the hall, two figures strode forward. They were none other than Huangg Chen and the Zi Qiong Emperor, who had been tailing the group.
