I Have Unlimited Dantians

Cradling his younger brother's stiffening corpse, Nie Yun seemed to hear his brother's eager voice once more, to hear the desperate roar that had erupted from his soul just before he died.

"Brother, I was wrong. I know I'm useless, that I can't cultivate. I'll never do it again…"

…

"Brother, are you okay? You scared me to death!"

…

"Just now, when I looked at this Spirit Stone, it was like I entered a vast world. There were a lot of people my age there, all practicing the sword. Their Swordsmanship was brilliant, so I just kept learning from them! But I hadn't been learning for long when I saw Demons surrounding you. I couldn't think about learning anymore. I charged right in and fought them, and after that, I woke up!"

…

"Don't worry, Brother. I'll definitely succeed in breaking through to the Secret Realm and master my Swordsmanship. My dream is to one day found my own school of Swordsmanship. Countless people will learn from me, and with everyone watching, I'll stand on a high stage and declare to the world that you, Brother, are my true master! Without you, I'd still be nothing!"

…

"If I can't be your sharpest sword, then I won't be the stumbling block that holds you back and weighs on your mind. Brother, forgive my willfulness. Brother, forgive my mischief. This is the first—and the last—thing I can do for you!"

…

"Goodbye, Brother!"

…

"Brother, I'm not useless. I guess… I was a little useful after all!"

…

Tears mingled with the rain, streaming down his cheeks. But… what good were tears now? He would never see his brother again!

You only realize how precious true family is once they are gone. That was true in his past life, and it was true in this one.

In his past life, he hadn't understood the meaning of family. While his parents, sister, and brother were alive, he had shown them nothing but a cold face. Only after they were gone did he realize that even the warmest summer could feel as cold as an empty, frozen home.

He had intended to give them a better life in this world, to protect them better. He never imagined it would end just like his last life—powerlessly watching his brother die right before his eyes.

'Brother, I've failed you!'

'It's my fault you're dead!'

'If it weren't for me, you would have achieved your dream of becoming a Sword Dao Sect Master and teaching your Swordsmanship to others. If it weren't for me, you would have been free and carefree. How could you be lying here now, your body growing colder and colder…'

Clutching his brother tightly, as if holding his own shattered heart, Nie Yun felt the world itself fade away.

'If I had known I would lose my brother again in this life, I would have given up on being the Strongest on the Qi Sea Continent. I would have given up on ever becoming an Ultimate Venerable, all just to spend more time with you, just for those unbreakable bonds of family!'

"Brother! I will make the entire Divine Holy Empire Royal Family, the entire Qii Family, the entire Moh Family, and that Lord Hua… all of them will join you in death!"

After what felt like an eternity, Nie Yun finally stirred from his grief. He threw his head back, his crimson eyes like those of a lone wolf, and let out a piercing roar that seemed to tear through the heavens!

'He's gone, but vengeance must be served. Since they dared to plot against me, I will make them pay the price!'

"Brother, I will let you watch as I destroy the enemies who hurt you, one by one. Don't worry. I keep my promises!"

Standing up, Nie Yun's hands became a blur as dense True Qi enveloped Nie Tong's body in layer after layer.

Nie Tong had not yet reached the Secret Realm, so his body had never been tempered by Creation Qi. It was no different from that of an Ordinary person and would eventually rot. To preserve his corpse perfectly, a special seal was required. However, only cultivators who had reached a very high level of the Secret Realm could cast such a seal. All Nie Yun could do now was wrap the body in True Qi, a measure akin to freezing it, which would only delay the decay.

WHOOSH!

Once he finished enveloping his brother's corpse in True Qi, Nie Yun sent it into the Zihua Cave Mansion with a flip of his wrist.

After its complete Refinement, the Zihua Cave Mansion had shrunk down and integrated with his body. A Cave Mansion was different from a Storage Dantian. A Storage Dantian could not hold people, but a Cave Mansion could!

Even though Nie Tong was dead—nothing more than a corpse—in Nie Yun's eyes, he was still alive. He couldn't bear the thought of placing him in the Storage Dantian.

'I have to hurry back to Guangming City. Now that things have gone sour with Huangg Chen, Father and the others will be in danger if I'm not fast enough!'

Having lost his brother, he could not bear to lose his parents and sister as well. The moment his brother's body was secured, Nie Yun shot toward Guangming City at top speed.

Guangming City was a great distance away. The initial journey had taken him a full half-month of flying. Now, on his way back, Nie Yun flew at his absolute maximum speed, never stopping for a moment.

During his trip to the Zihua Cave Mansion, his True Qi strength had surged from the power of 6,000 elephants to 9,999, and his cultivation had advanced from Mid-Stage to the late stage of the Ultimate Venerable Realm. His speed had more than doubled. Furthermore, on the journey there, he had been accommodating others and couldn't fly at full power. Now, unleashing the True Qi within him without restraint, he saw Guangming City in a mere five days.

Guangming City looked the same as ever, unchanged. Its peaceful inhabitants were completely unaware that something earth-shattering was about to occur.

"If you're going to choose a master, it has to be Lord Nie Yun! He's so young and already so powerful. He's our greatest idol!"

"No doubt about it! Lord Nie Yun is incredible. I'm going to make him my goal!"

"Yeah, let's work hard. Maybe we can achieve something great one day, too…"

Inside Guangming City, two youths chatted with pride. There were countless others just like them who idolized Nie Yun.

"You kids are always talking about Lord Nie Yun. Be careful, or the Royal Family will have you arrested as traitors!" an old man who overheard their conversation snorted.
