I Have Unlimited Dantians

Chapter 336: Chapter 313: Celestial God Association

Nie Tong’s skin was completely shriveled, and his whole body was covered in wrinkles. He looked nothing like a thirteen-year-old boy. Instead, he resembled a wizened old man on the verge of death at any moment!

RIP!

Nie Yun tore open the clothes on his brother’s body. After just one glance, his fists clenched involuntarily, and his entire body trembled.

His brother’s frail body was covered in scars, his flesh torn open and mangled. Although they had already scabbed over, the area around each wound was pitch-black—a clear sign of poisoning!

So many wounds, so much damage on such a frail body—in an instant, Nie Yun’s memories were dragged back three hundred years.

Three hundred years ago, his brother had used this same frail body to block the siege of the Demons for him. With petrified legs, he had walked forward step by step. With every step he took, a Demon fell. No matter how fiercely the Demons charged, they could not advance a single inch!

By the time all the Demons had been slaughtered, he, too, had collapsed to the ground. Only then did Nie Yun discover that he had suffered a total of one hundred and thirty-seven sword wounds, his life force completely extinguished!

"Brother, I’m not useless. I think... I’m still a little useful!" Those were his final words, and the only thing he had said to Nie Yun in the several years since he had started practicing the sword!

These scars were even more horrifying, even more heart-wrenching than the ones from three hundred years ago!

"Xiaotong, your injuries... what on earth happened?" Tears rolled down from his eyes as Nie Yun took a deep breath and asked in a heavy voice.

"It’s the torture the Young Master endured after being captured," Xiaohu said slowly, his own huge eyes streaming with tears. "The Young Master bore the torment of the torture, relentlessly honing his will and his body. That’s how he managed to break through in such a short time and gain his current strength!"

"It’s a Cultivation Method I comprehended by chance. The more pain I feel, the more it hones my will and strengthens me. My strength advanced by leaps and bounds, especially when they used Highly Poisonous substances on my wounds..."

"It’s... It’s because I didn’t protect you. I’m sorry!" Listening to his brother’s account, Nie Yun’s tears fell ceaselessly. He couldn’t bear to hear any more.

’Brother, in our last life, I let you die for me. I thought that after my rebirth, I would be able to protect you properly and make up for the regrets of our past, but I never imagined...’

Nie Yun felt his heart being pricked by needles, an intense pain welling up from deep within him, on the verge of exploding.

Now, he finally understood why his brother’s Cultivation had increased so quickly, and why his appearance had aged so much that he looked like an old man!

The Spirit Rhinoceros Body Refining Technique itself was a Demon Race’s Cultivation Method. Demon Race Cultivation Methods were always known for their viciousness, the most famous of which was the Self-Mutilation Body Training Method!

The so-called Self-Mutilation Body Training Method involved using things like Highly Poisonous substances, boiling water, fire, and extreme temperatures to stimulate the muscles, forcing the physical body to change and achieve faster progress.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Body Cultivation Technique was a supreme technique for the Demon Race’s Body Cultivation. This method of self-mutilation training was also applicable to it. Using pain as a stimulus to accelerate one’s Cultivation speed allowed for rapid progress, but the side effects were also extremely severe!

The metabolic rate and the number of times a person’s physical cells can metabolize are finite. A cell ages after metabolizing ten times. A single normal metabolic cycle takes six years, which is why a normal person will develop age spots and the like when they reach sixty. However, if you increase the metabolic rate and force a cell to complete a cycle once a month, your strength will improve rapidly, but it’s equivalent to your lifespan constantly draining away!

How could he not grow old doing that?

His brother Nie Tong’s strength had indeed increased using this method, but his body’s functions had all aged completely!

"Brother, it’s not your fault. I was the one who wanted to increase my strength! It’s okay, aren’t I fine now?" Seeing his brother in such pain, Nie Tong smiled. It was a pure smile, as radiant as it was three hundred years ago.

"Who was it? Who captured you, and who tortured you?"

Hearing his brother’s laughter, Nie Yun suppressed the pain in his heart, and a searing rage ignited in his eyes.

"I’ve investigated it thoroughly. It was the Celestial God Association! That’s why I’ve been constantly launching sneak attacks and assassinating members of the Celestial God Association!" A hateful expression also appeared on Nie Tong’s face.

"The Celestial God Association?"

"Yes. They’re supposedly a faction of a Major Sect from the Floating Heaven Continent. Many high-ranking ministers of the Divine Holy Empire have joined, and Emperor Huangg Ling is the biggest leader of the Celestial God Association here on the Qi Sea Continent!" Nie Tong said. "This is a list I obtained. There are seventeen people on it in total, and I’ve already killed seven!"

Taking the list, Nie Yun glanced down at it. The names recorded on it were indeed all major figures in the Divine Holy Empire. Emperor Huangg Ling and Tuxin were prominent among them.

"The Celestial God Association takes its orders from someone on the Floating Heaven Continent called Lord Hua. It’s said that as long as you join and make contributions, you’ll have a chance to advance to a Secret Realm. That’s why everyone is flocking to join! We were captured by the Celestial God Association and interrogated about the treasures of the Luoo Qu Tomb. The Association also seems to have ties with the Demon Race, but I’m not sure of the specifics!"

Nie Tong revealed everything he knew.

"The Celestial God Association!"

Nie Yun’s teeth ground together. "GRIND." "Xiaotong, you stay here. Today, I will wipe out every last member of the Celestial God Association for you!"

With a sharp cry, Nie Yun shot to his feet, and with a flicker of his body, he was out of the room.

"Xiaofong!"

Flying into the air, Nie Yun called out from his Beast Taming Dantian.

"Master!"

At that moment, Xiaofong had just finished slapping Huangg Ling a thousand times and was walking back with a satisfied expression.

"Bring Huangg Ling back here!"

Nie Yun roared.

"Yes!"

Although Xiaofong didn’t know what was going on, he knew he just needed to do what his master ordered without asking questions. He immediately turned, and with a clench of his large hand, he snatched Huangg Ling up.

"Lord... didn’t you say you’d let me go after slapping me a thousand times? Why have you grabbed me again..."

Huangg Ling was on the verge of tears.

He had been viciously slapped a thousand times, yet not allowed to die. Now, his entire face was about to rot off.

"Cut the crap, the Master wants to see you!"

Xiaofong couldn’t be bothered to waste words on him. With a long cry, he gripped Huangg Ling by the neck and flew toward Nie Yun.

BAM!

The moment the two arrived before Nie Yun, he kicked out. With just that one kick, the dignified Emperor of the Divine Holy Empire, His Majesty Huangg Ling, was sent flying like a soccer ball, crashing heavily to the ground and carving out a large crater.

"Tell me who is in the Celestial God Association! And I won’t kill you!"

Nie Yun’s voice was bone-chillingly cold.

"The Celestial God Association? I don’t know, I’ve never even heard of it!" Huangg Ling shivered and hastily tried to deny it.

"Never heard of it? Xiaofong, keep slapping him until he remembers the Celestial God Association!" With a flick of his hand, Nie Yun tossed Huangg Ling over to Xiaofong.

"Alright!" Xiaofong hadn’t had his fill of hitting him yet. Hearing Nie Yun’s order, he rushed over with an excited look on his face.

"AHH..." Seeing Xiaofong’s gleeful expression, Huangg Ling was instantly scared out of his wits. "Lord Nie Yun, Your Majesty Nie Yun, Ancestor Nie Yun, I’ll talk! I’ll tell you who’s in the Celestial God Association..."

"Speak!"

Nie Yun snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with a vicious light.

If anyone from his past life had crossed over with Nie Yun, they would have known for sure that this look in his eyes meant someone’s entire clan was about to be annihilated, with not even a chicken or dog left alive!

PS: Some people have said that Nie Yun’s brother’s rapid progress in strength is ridiculous. After learning how he advanced... does it seem normal now?
