I Have Unlimited Dantians

"Zi Qiong Emperor? Huangg Chen? Why are you two together?"

When Qii Tao saw the two of them walking together, a look of utter astonishment appeared on his face.

Huangg Chen was the spiritual leader of the Human Race, and the Zi Qiong Emperor was the strongest of the Demons. How could they be together, looking like old friends who had known each other for years?

"How are they together? Qii Tao, you’re a little slow on the uptake. Take a look at who this is!"

Nie Yun chuckled, reaching out and grabbing the Golden Armored Hong Ape that stood to one side, squeezing its neck.

"What are you doing?" The Golden Armored Hong Ape hadn’t expected the young man to attack so suddenly. It trembled in fear and let out a shriek.

"Heh, what am I doing? Killing you, of course!"

Nie Yun tightened his grip. With a CRACK, the Golden Armored Hong Ape became a corpse, its life force extinguished. The Incarnation Talisman on its body lost its effect, revealing the true form of the Qi Emperor.

"Qi Emperor? A Demon! Huangg Ling, what is going on? Didn’t you say this was your Demon Pet?" Qii Tao’s expression changed.

"Is there even a need to ask? The Divine Wind Empire’s Imperial Family has long been in cahoots with the Demons of the Zi Qiong Mountain Range. There’s nothing strange about it!" Nie Yun said with a laugh.

"Nie Yun, since we’re dropping all pretenses, you can just die!"

Seeing Nie Yun crush the Qi Emperor to death, the Zi Qiong Emperor’s face twisted into a ferocious scowl. He shrieked and charged at Nie Yun.

’The Qi Emperor always coveted my position and opposed me, so his death is no great loss. But Nie Yun killed one of my subordinates. If I do nothing in response, I’ll lose all respect!’

"Heh heh, Nie Yun, you injured me that day. Today, let me see just how strong you really are!"

Huangg Chen also gave a sinister laugh, his large hand reaching out to envelop Nie Yun.

Two great Secret Realm Powerhouses attacked at the same time. Mana filled the entire hall, the dense energy piling up like mercury, restricting movement and slowing the circulation of True Qi.

Mana was a level higher than True Qi and could suppress its circulation. The Zi Qiong Emperor and Huangg Chen understood this well, so they unleashed their strongest power and attacks from the very start.

"Haha, you want to kill me? It’s not that easy! I’m done playing with you. Nie Tong, let’s go!"

Feeling the overwhelming Mana, Nie Yun knew it would be difficult to win. He laughed heartily, swung the longsword in his hand to block their attacks, and used the momentum to pull Nie Tong with him as he leaped backward.

In a single leap, he jumped into the massive portal behind him and vanished with a WHOOSH.

"Where do you think you’re going!" the Zi Qiong Emperor roared, charging toward the portal as well. But before he could reach the entrance, a flash of white light shot out. With a BANG, he was sent flying backward, slamming hard against the wall and violently spitting up blood.

"What’s going on?" Huangg Chen was startled and retreated several steps.

’The Zi Qiong Emperor’s strength isn’t much different from my own. If he was sent flying and heavily injured in a single blow, the result would surely be the same if I charged in rashly.’

"To enter the trial, you must first pass through the Pure Illusion Spirit Stone. Otherwise, you will be slain without mercy!"

While Huangg Chen was still bewildered, the immense voice from the air slowly boomed again, heavy with authority. It seemed as if the two of them would be blasted to smithereens if they dared to disobey.

Hearing this, the heavily injured Zi Qiong Emperor was crying his eyes out. ’If I had known, why did I have to act all tough? I should have just let Nie Yun go...’

"Huangg Chen Ancestor, you can pass through the Illusion Spirit Stone here. I’m going in first. If we let that Nie Yun get the treasure, none of us will be able to answer for it!"

Huangg Ling shouted and leaped into the tall portal.

Qii Tao and Moh Wudao followed close behind.

"You bastards!"

Seeing them turn and leave without the slightest hesitation, Huangg Chen’s face turned green with rage.

’Even a fool knows to enter the trial first. Once you pass, the chances of getting the treasure are much higher. With them going ahead, I’m already behind.’

’I’d better hurry up and pass the Pure Illusion Spirit Stone’s trial!’

Though furious, Huangg Chen didn’t hesitate. He quickly ran to the sky-blue stone and began his test of purity.

***

After entering the giant portal, the scene before Nie Yun’s eyes shifted. He was instantly pulled into a vortex. When he opened his eyes again, he found that his brother was no longer by his side.

This was an empty space, completely bare on all sides.

’What is this place? Why can’t I even absorb Spiritual Qi?’

Nie Yun was stunned as he sensed his surroundings.

There wasn’t the slightest trace of Spiritual Qi in the air here, making it impossible for him to absorb any. This meant that in a fight, he could only rely on the True Qi within his Qi Sea to maintain his strength. Every bit he used was a bit he couldn’t get back.

’It’s no big deal, though. I still have plenty of Elixirs in my Storage Dantian to replenish my energy!’

He tried to connect his consciousness to his Storage Dantian, but the attempt sent a chill down his spine.

His consciousness couldn’t connect to his Storage Dantian at all, let alone take anything out!

’How can a place like this exist? Even in my past life, I’ve never heard of such a thing!’

Frowning, Nie Yun found it unbelievable.

His Storage Dantian was inside his own body; connecting to it and retrieving items should have been simple. For this place to be able to restrict that ability was simply heaven-defying. Even with the experience of two lifetimes, he had never heard of anything like it!

’So what if I can’t replenish my True Qi? I refuse to believe I can’t pass this trial with my abundant reserves!’

After trying several methods and confirming that he truly couldn’t replenish his spent True Qi, Nie Yun stopped dwelling on it. His Qi Sea was vast and his True Qi was abundant. Even if he fought at full power for three days and three nights, he wouldn’t run out. There was no need to worry!

As for his brother, he didn’t even have True Qi in his body, so there was even less to worry about.

"First stage: Defeat the Copper Armor Puppet to pass!"

Just as Nie Yun put his worries aside, the deep voice from the sky rang out again.

’A Copper Armor Puppet?’

RUMBLE!

As he wondered, a strange man clad head-to-toe in copper armor appeared before him.

This strange man was very tall, over two meters, and wore a suit of heavy copper armor. His face was expressionless as he looked at Nie Yun. "Kid, you haven’t reached the Secret Realm, so I will suppress my power to the Ultimate Venerable Level to fight you. However, you must be careful. My Ultimate Venerable is at the absolute Peak. Even an ordinary Secret Realm Powerhouse is no match for me!"

’A talking Puppet?’

Nie Yun was taken aback.

He had seen plenty of Puppets in his past life, but ones that could speak and understand human language were exceedingly rare. It was said that only the skilled Human Race from the far west of the Floating Heaven Continent could create them.

’Could it be that this Zi Qiong Daoist is from the far west of the Floating Heaven Continent?’

"I’ll tell you now, my defense is invincible. Not even a Spiritual Soldier can necessarily pierce it. You can only pass by defeating me. Otherwise, you fail and will be killed!"

the Copper Armor Puppet said coldly, his face a blank mask. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
