I Have Unlimited Dantians

He already knew the direction of the Qianqing Sect. It was on Qianqing Mountain, not far from Guangming City. Nie Yun fixed his bearings and sped off. After about ten breaths, a massive mountain gate appeared before his eyes.

"Who goes there?"

Just as he reached the mountain gate, two figures leaped out and blocked Nie Yun’s path.

He glanced over and saw they were both Qi Sect Powerhouses. ’Using Qi Sect Powerhouses to guard the gate... this Qianqing Sect is truly formidable.’

He had promised Baihua Xiu he wouldn’t force his way in, so Nie Yun clasped his fist and said, "I am Nie Yun. I’ve come to see your Sect Leader on an important matter!"

"Nie Yun?"

Hearing the name, the two Qi Sect Powerhouses reacted as if they had heard a cursed word, scrambling back three full steps in fright.

Nie Yun’s massacre in the Imperial City and his slaughter of the Celestial God Association had turned him into a demon in the hearts of many. Since these two guards were so close to Guangming City, they had naturally heard the rumors. However, they never imagined that the legendary, all-evil Demon would be such a young man.

"One moment, I’ll inform the Sect Leader right away!"

One of the Qi Sect experts hesitated for a moment before taking out a jade talisman and quickly writing a message on it.

Guest Disciples like them couldn’t contact the Sect Leader directly, but they could contact his True Disciples and have them relay the message.

A moment later, the talisman flashed, and a line of text appeared. Immediately after, a figure broke through the air and arrived—it was none other than Lin Cann, the very same person who had come to cause trouble at Di Lin Villa.

"So it’s Lord Nie Yun! Please, come in!"

Lin Cann knew of Nie Yun’s strength and dared not offend him, so he quickly welcomed him inside.

"Lin Cann," Nie Yun replied politely before following him, flying into the Qianqing Sect’s grounds.

The Qianqing Sect was truly worthy of its reputation as the largest Sect on the Qi Sea Continent. Spiritual Qi flowed everywhere, creating a magnificent atmosphere. The mountains were covered in Spiritual Qi, and all sorts of rare Medicinal Materials grew in abundance. Disciples could be seen everywhere, deep in Cultivation and gaining insights. In comparison, the Mi Tian Sect was less than trash.

’Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses, Earth List Powerhouses, Celestial List Powerhouses, Secret Realm Potential List Powerhouses... What a Major Sect. Its foundation is truly profound!’

As they traveled, Nie Yun soon spotted dozens of Ultimate Venerable Powerhouses. There were also quite a few experts from the Earth List, Celestial List, and Secret Realm Potential List. In total, there were dozens of them. It was a Major Sect, after all, with an immense foundation.

When they arrived at a grand hall on the mountain’s peak, where the sunlight was most concentrated, Lin Cann said with a smile, "This is the Noon Hall, the main hall where the Sect Leader receives guests. However... the Sect Leader isn’t here today. The Vice Sect Leader asked me to bring you here. You can tell him whatever you need; he has the full authority to make decisions!"

The layout of the Qianqing Sect used the arrangement of the Twelve Meridian Array. Each hall was arranged according to one of the twelve two-hour periods of the day. It was currently high noon, so sunlight was streaming directly into the Noon Hall.

At this time, the Noon Hall was also where the Sect’s Array was most concentrated and its Defense was strongest.

The Twelve Meridian Array was an Array created by a supreme powerhouse from the Floating Heaven Continent. It operated according to the changing hours of the day, embodying Yin Yang Interdependence. It was self-sustaining and endless, making it impossible for those trapped within to defend against it.

"Vice Sect Leader? Who is the Vice Sect Leader?" Nie Yun asked, taken aback.

Baihua Xiu had been away from the Qianqing Sect for too long and was unaware of many of its internal affairs.

"Oh, the Vice Sect Leader is someone our Sect Leader met in the outside world. He was accepted as a disciple on behalf of our Sect Leader’s master, making him our Martial Uncle. He’s a Secret Realm Powerhouse!" Lin Cann chuckled, his voice filled with pride.

Nie Yun’s brow furrowed. ’A Secret Realm Powerhouse? Accepted on behalf of the master?’

’Since when did the Qi Sea Continent have another Secret Realm Powerhouse? Is reaching that Realm so easy?’

’The Heaven-Seizing Creation Secret Realm is about seizing the very creation of heaven and earth. It would be impressive if even one in a hundred ordinary Ultimate Venerables managed to break through successfully. In a place like the Qi Sea Continent, where the Creation Qi is so thin, a breakthrough should be practically impossible!’

’Both the Zi Qiong Emperor and Huangg Chen only managed to break through by a stroke of luck after being infused with power by that Lord Hua. Although I don’t know how the Qianqing Sect’s Sect Leader entered the Secret Realm, I assume he also had a fortunate encounter. How could another one have just appeared out of nowhere?’

"Don’t worry, the Vice Sect Leader is very approachable. Come on in with me!" Unaware of the confusion in Nie Yun’s mind, Lin Cann assumed he was just nervous and led the way into the Noon Hall.

Following him into the hall, Nie Yun immediately saw a young man sitting in the host’s seat.

Of course, he only had the appearance of a young man; his true age was impossible to tell.

"I presume you must be Your Majesty Nie Yun, whose name has recently shaken the world!"

Seeing Nie Yun, the young man didn’t put on the airs of a Secret Realm Powerhouse. Instead, he smiled faintly and stood up.

"You’re too kind." Nie Yun also clasped his fist and carefully observed this Vice Sect Leader.

’Setting aside his appearance, his soul is well-rounded, a Half-Step Spirit Level soul. His aura is restrained, and his strength is actually at the Peak of the Mid-Stage of the Secret Realm’s First Layer, the same as Huangg Chen and the Zi Qiong Emperor.’

"May I ask what brings Your Majesty Nie Yun here today?" The Vice Sect Leader knew the young man was observing his Cultivation, but he didn’t resist and simply asked with a smile.

"A very close relative of mine has passed away. I heard that the Qianqing Sect possesses a Water Spirit Pearl that can preserve a physical body, so I have come to borrow it!" Nie Yun didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Borrow the Water Spirit Pearl?" The Vice Sect Leader seemed startled. "That item is exceptionally precious. I’m afraid that will be difficult!"

Nie Yun knew they wouldn’t hand it over so easily. "I understand how precious it is, and I won’t let you suffer a loss," he stated calmly. "If you cannot make the decision, Vice Sect Leader, I hope you will summon your Sect Leader so I can discuss it with him!"

"Discuss it with the Sect Leader? The Sect Leader is not on the mountain at the moment. How about this: wait a moment, and I’ll send a message to the Sect Leader right now to let him decide!" The Vice Sect Leader chuckled, took out a jade talisman, and sent a message into it.

BZZZT!

A moment later, the talisman flashed. The Vice Sect Leader glanced at it and looked back at Nie Yun with a smile. "The Sect Leader says the Water Spirit Pearl is our Sect’s most valuable treasure. We truly cannot lend it out. I hope you’ll understand!"

"I only need to borrow it for a period of time. As soon as I find a Soul Summoner, I will return it voluntarily. Take this as a rental fee!" With a wave of his hand, Nie Yun made a frigid, round pearl appear before the Vice Sect Leader.

"The Nine Nether Cold Pearl?"

The Vice Sect Leader’s expression flickered with shock upon seeing the pearl.

What Nie Yun had taken out was indeed the Nine Nether Cold Pearl!

"That’s right. Although this Nine Nether Cold Pearl isn’t quite on par with your Sect Leader’s Water Spirit Pearl, it is still incredibly valuable. As long as your Sect Leader is willing to lend me the pearl for a while, I will give this to him! Plus five thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones!" Nie Yun announced.

’For my brother, I would give up any treasure! I’d even give up my own life!’

"Wait a moment. I can’t make this decision. I still need to ask the Sect Leader!" The Vice Sect Leader sent another message.

’The Nine Nether Cold Pearl and the Water Spirit Pearl are actually treasures of the same caliber. For him to offer such a treasure just to borrow the Water Spirit Pearl... it seems he is absolutely determined to get it.’

Of course, Nie Yun was being so polite only because of Baihua Xiu’s request. Otherwise, with his strength, the Vice Sect Leader probably couldn’t have stopped him even if he had decided to take it by force.

This exchange took a considerable amount of time, nearly long enough for three incense sticks to burn. Only then did the Vice Sect Leader finally stand up.

"Your Majesty Nie Yun, our Sect Leader has agreed. You only need to keep the body from decaying, correct? You don’t actually need to take the Water Spirit Pearl. As long as we seal forty-nine strands of Water Spirit Aura into the body, it can be preserved for a hundred years without decay. A hundred years should be more than enough time for you to do whatever you need!" the Vice Sect Leader said.

"Oh? It has such an ability? Then I’ll have to trouble you!" Nie Yun hadn’t expected that just sealing the Water Spirit Aura would be enough to preserve his brother’s body. He quickly stood up.

"Well... as you know, the Water Spirit Aura is the very essence of the Water Spirit Pearl. Extracting forty-nine strands is an enormous drain. The Sect Leader’s meaning is that, in exchange, he wants not only the Nine Nether Cold Pearl, but also ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, three thousand Elixirs, and ten Spiritual Soldiers!"

The Vice Sect Leader said.

"Fine!" Nie Yun nodded.

Although the Sect Leader was asking for a lot, as long as he could preserve his brother’s body, no price was too high.

"Here!" Nie Yun took a quick inventory in his Storage Dantian and tossed over the requested items.

After looting the Zi Qiong Mountain Range, the Royal Family of Guangming City, and adding the treasures he could currently access from the Zihua Cave Mansion, Nie Yun had quite a lot of good things. He was just barely able to meet all their demands.

"Hehe, then I’ll help myself!"

The Vice Sect Leader grabbed the items with a wave of his hand. He swept his Spirit over them to confirm the count, then flicked his palm and stored them away.

’It seems he has a Storage Dantian as well.’

"Your Majesty Nie Yun is truly a man of his word. Please, follow me. I will take you to get the Water Spirit Pearl!" The Vice Sect Leader led the way forward.

"Isn’t the Water Spirit Pearl with your Sect Leader? How..." Nie Yun was taken aback.

"Hehe, the Sect Leader has already stored it away. It’s in the Midnight Hall. I will now seal the forty-nine strands of Water Spirit Aura into the body for Your Majesty Nie Yun!"

The Vice Sect Leader explained as he walked, and before long, they arrived at a black hall.

In the middle of the hall, on a high platform, a crystal-clear pearl was spinning, emitting a dense, watery aura.

"This is the Water Spirit Pearl. You can take out the body of your relative now!"

The Vice Sect Leader pointed to the pearl on the platform and leaped up onto it.

"Alright!" Nie Yun had never seen a Water Spirit Pearl, even in his past life. Seeing this pearl suffused with a watery aura, he concluded it must be real. He immediately took out his brother’s body and placed it on the floor.

"Water Spirit Aura Seal, forty-nine strands, Heavenly Gang Transformation!"

Seeing the body, the Vice Sect Leader shouted, then grasped with his five fingers, drawing forty-nine strands of Water Spirit Aura from the Water Spirit Pearl and channeling them down into Nie Tong’s corpse from the top of his head.

After having those auras extracted, the Water Spirit Pearl on the platform dimmed considerably, appearing to have suffered great damage.

The Water Spirit Pearl was a natural treasure formed by the heavens and the earth. Like a Spirit Stone, it contained Spiritual Power within it. If too much was drawn out, it would naturally weaken and its functions would diminish.

WHOOSH!

As the forty-nine strands of Water Spirit Aura poured into Nie Tong’s body, his corpse’s color changed. His skin became supple and elastic, as if he were no different from a living person.
