Chapter 44

"Four? This..."

Staring intently at the floating lineage factors in his dantian, Nie Yun’s mouth opened wide, feeling as if he was about to go mad.

Four additional lineage factors meant four additional dantians!

Previously, Nie Yun only had three major dantians, corresponding to a noble upper-grade bloodline. This time, the nameless technique unexpectedly generated four lineage factors, far exceeding expectations!

Three dantians plus these four made a total of seven dantians, corresponding to a royal upper-grade bloodline. This level of talent was exactly the same as his father’s back then!

A royal upper-grade bloodline was so rare that in the entire Divine Wind Empire, one could count them on one hand!

"Rustle!"

While Nie Yun was still immersed in shock, the dagger in his hand suddenly emitted a series of crisp sounds. When he looked down, it had already turned into a pile of fragments!

As expected, after absorbing all the special energy, the dagger had become completely useless. However, what Nie Yun hadn’t anticipated was that this time, the nameless technique would generate four lineage factors!

"Activate the dantians!"

Suppressing his excitement, he called out softly in his mind, immediately immersing his spirit in the dantian to activate them.

For Nie Yun, opening the dantians didn’t take much effort. After a while, he exhaled and focused his spirit inward again. In the vast dantian, the seven dantians floated like seven planets in the universe, each one capable of absorbing and transforming thick spiritual energy into true qi.

"This time, the nameless technique generated four additional dantians, and my strength has also improved. I’ve directly broken through to the late stage of the fourth level!"

After successfully opening the dantians, Nie Yun once again felt his strength, and his excitement surged again.

He hadn’t expected that opening the dantians would also benefit his cultivation, allowing him to smoothly advance from the middle stage of the fourth level of the True Qi Realm to the late stage. And it wasn’t just any late stage; it was almost the peak of the late stage!

At the speed of advancement with seven dantians operating simultaneously, it would probably take no more than half a month to reach the first Nirvana of the Ninefold Nirvana Technique!

Once the first Nirvana was successfully achieved, there would be no one in Luoshui City he would fear!

In his previous life, it took him four years to cultivate from the initial stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm to the peak of the True Qi Realm. He never imagined that after being reborn, with the help of the nameless technique, it only took four days. The difference was simply indescribable!

"With seven dantians operating simultaneously, the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is more than twice as fast as before. Even if I stay underwater, it won’t be a problem."

Previously, with only three dantians, absorbing the sparse spiritual energy in the water was insufficient to sustain his body’s vitality, and he could only continuously consume the true qi in his body. Now, with seven dantians operating simultaneously, it was like having seven engines in a machine, making the speed of absorbing spiritual energy more than twice as fast. Even if he stayed underwater for a long time, he wouldn’t suffocate!

"Since the two tiger-headed beasts on the shore have no intention of leaving, I might as well use the Imperial Flame Spirit Stone to cultivate the second level of the Lingxi Body Tempering Technique to its completion!"

Through the stream water, Nie Yun saw that the two tiger-headed beasts on the shore had no plans to leave soon. He took out the Imperial Flame Spirit Stone from his backpack again, intending to cultivate the second level of the Lingxi Body Tempering Technique!

Previously, he had been afraid of suffocating and didn’t dare to cultivate. Now, with seven dantians operating simultaneously, he no longer worried about breathing, so he felt at ease.

Placing the Imperial Flame Spirit Stone in his palm, Nie Yun slowly closed his eyes and began to cultivate according to the method of the Lingxi Body Tempering Technique.

.........................

While Nie Yun was trapped at the bottom of the pond, the meeting hall of the Yang family in Luoshui City was in an uproar.

Clan Leader Nie Haotian sat in the central throne, with the elders lined up on both sides. The entire hall was silent.

"Clan Leader, why did you urgently convene this family meeting?"

The First Elder, sitting in the first high seat on the left, stroked his beard and asked casually.

His question was also what everyone else wanted to know. For a moment, everyone focused intently on the middle-aged man on the throne, hoping for a satisfactory answer.

Most of the elders were in seclusion, not involved in worldly affairs. Today, the Clan Leader suddenly used the communication token to gather everyone here, which made everyone curious.

"Qiang, you tell the elders what happened!"

Without answering the First Elder’s question, Nie Haotian’s eyes fell on a figure standing beside him.

This figure was tall and slender, standing unobtrusively at the side, but when he appeared, he exuded an aura of supreme power.

Nie Haotian’s son, the first heir of the Nie family, Nie Qiang!

"Yes!" Nie Qiang walked to the center of the hall and looked around. "We convened this meeting today because there is an existence in a branch that openly challenges the authority and dignity of the family. I hope the elders can give a fair and just judgment!"

As he spoke, he suddenly clapped his hands and shouted, "Bring them in!"

With his words, the doors of the meeting hall burst open, and more than a dozen people slowly walked in, four at a time, carrying stretchers. On the stretchers lay people with severe injuries.

"Is that Nie Yuanqing, Nie Hen, and Nie Liao? Weren’t they the new captains and vice-captains of the enforcement team? How did they end up like this?"

"That’s Nie Chao, the Clan Leader’s nephew. Who could have beaten him so badly?"

"The enforcement team represents the core authority of the family, the supreme dignity. How dare someone beat them up like this? It’s a blatant challenge to our Nie family. Such people must be punished to set an example, or everyone will think we are easy to bully!"

Seeing the figures on the stretchers, many elders recognized them, and the meeting hall was filled with murmurs.

The enforcement team was the family’s authority over the branches, representing the core power and dignity of the family. Now, the captains and vice-captains had been beaten to the point of looking like dead pigs, which immediately ignited the anger of the elders.

"Nie Yuanqing, tell the elders what happened!"

Seeing the elders’ anger, Nie Qiang smiled faintly and glanced at Nie Yuanqing on the stretcher.

At this moment, Nie Yuanqing’s eyes were swollen like a panda’s, his mouth hung with a sausage, and half of his face was twisted, but fortunately, he was conscious. Hearing the young master’s question, he quickly made a long, whistling sound through his broken teeth.

"It was Nie Yun from the Nie Tian branch! Last time, he openly attacked inner disciples and was punished by the family. But this guy not only refused to accept the punishment but also severely injured Nie Chao, who was sent to enforce the punishment. Nie Chao is still in a critical condition! Vice-captains Nie Hen and Nie Liao went to interrogate him and were also beaten up like this. Even I wasn’t spared. I hope the elders will do justice for me!"

His pitiful cries were like the wails of a bleeding cuckoo. Nie Yuanqing deliberately didn’t mention the enforcement team’s oppression of the Nie Tian branch, instead portraying himself and his team as pitiful victims to gain the elders’ sympathy.

"What? The Nie Tian branch, that fallen branch?"

"They actually dared to attack you? Who gave them the nerve?"

"I think they want to die. A fallen branch, a bunch of trash, how dare they openly defy the family’s core orders? They are truly unforgivable!"

Hearing Nie Yuanqing’s account, the elders immediately erupted in a chorus of voices.
