Sharing the Heavens Starting from Douluo Continent

Chapter 40 Nine Yang Divine Skill

Since Dai Changsheng made the bet with Zhu Changling in front of everyone, even if Zhang Sanfeng were here, he would have no reason to say anything wrong to him.

That's what you call having a legitimate reason to fight!

Seeing that Zhu Changling was no match for Dai Changsheng, and that they had made a bet, the followers naturally dared not disobey Dai Changsheng's orders.

Soon, the maids of Red Plum Manor prepared bathwater and a change of clothes for Dai Changsheng.

"Zhu Jiuzhen, you don't want your father to die from his injuries, do you? As long as you behave, I will guarantee your father's safety."

Under Dai Changsheng's coercion and enticement, Zhu Jiuzhen, this willful and capricious young lady, had no choice but to obediently become a maid and serve him as he bathed and changed clothes.

……

next morning

As the warm sunlight streamed through the window and fell on Dai Changsheng's face, he awoke from his deep sleep and slowly opened his eyes.

Zhu Jiuzhen, with her hair disheveled, was clinging to Dai Changsheng like an octopus. There were still some tear stains on her pretty face, and her pink lips looked a little swollen.

Although Zhu Jiuzhen can only be considered a villainous female supporting character in the original plot, her looks and figure are undeniably good, making her quite qualified as a bed warmer.

Therefore, Dai Changsheng pampered her quite a bit last night, using all eighteen of Awei's techniques, so she probably won't be able to get out of bed today.

"Pop!"

Dai Changsheng first moved Zhu Jiuzhen's jade arms and legs aside, then stepped out and called the maid who was guarding outside the door to help him wash up and change his clothes.

After Dai Changsheng had finished enjoying a sumptuous breakfast served by the maids, he then had Zhu Changling summoned.

With splints and white cloth wrapped around his arm, Zhu Changling arrived at Dai Changsheng's living room and immediately knelt on one knee, saying, "This old servant greets the Master!"

At this moment, although Zhu Changling wished he could tear Dai Changsheng to pieces, he also knew the principle that a gentleman's revenge is never too late.

Before he was absolutely certain of dealing with Dai Changsheng, Zhu Changling could only console himself with the thought that a true man can bend and stretch, and that he should swallow his anger for now and retaliate tenfold in the future.

Dai Changsheng could naturally guess Zhu Changling's general thoughts, but he didn't care too much.

After all, Dai Changsheng's goal is to unify the world. If he can't even control Zhu Changling, he should just give up and go to bed early!

"Old Zhu, I'm very interested in the One-Finger Divine Skill. Take me to see its martial arts manual!"

"..."

Zhu Changling's expression changed slightly, but he finally took a deep breath and said, "This old servant obeys!"

Led by Zhu Changling, the two quickly arrived at the manor lord's private study, where the manual for the One-Finger Divine Skill was hidden in a secret compartment.

To Dai Changsheng's surprise, the contents of the One Finger Divine Skill manual were quite complete, allowing one to cultivate to the first rank.

According to the original plot, the One-Finger Divine Skill is divided into nine grades, with the ninth grade being the lowest and the first grade being the highest.

Unfortunately, the One-Finger Divine Skill is easy to learn but difficult to master. Zhu Changling practiced it diligently for more than 30 years and only managed to reach the fifth rank, which would only make him a second-rate master in the martial arts world.

Besides the martial arts manuals of One-Finger Divine Skill and Judge's Pen Technique, the study also contains dozens of other common martial arts manuals, such as Iron Shirt and Black Tiger Saber Technique.

Those martial arts manuals were common items widely circulated in the martial arts world. Zhu Changling specifically collected those manuals because he wanted to use them to train some servants who knew martial arts.

After obtaining those martial arts manuals, Dai Changsheng did not rush to practice them. Instead, he sent Zhu Changling with the servants of the manor to search for traces of the monkey troop near Red Plum Manor.

In the original story, Zhang Wuji had no choice but to jump off a cliff to escape Zhu Changling and his men's pursuit. He accidentally discovered the entrance to the paradise and found the Nine Yang Divine Skill manual hidden inside the white ape's body.

Unfortunately, the entrance passage was too narrow, only wide enough for a small child to pass through; otherwise, Zhu Changling wouldn't have gotten stuck inside.

Dai Changsheng was even more robust than Zhu Changling, so naturally he couldn't pass through that entrance either.

Therefore, Dai Changsheng prepared to take a different approach, searching for traces of monkeys living near Hongmei Manor to find other entrances to that hidden valley.

While Zhu Changling led his men out to search for the monkey troop, Dai Changsheng also began to peruse the martial arts manuals in the study. With his extraordinary memory, he memorized all the contents of the manuals.

However, Dai Changsheng had no intention of practicing those martial arts. Apart from the One-Finger Divine Skill, the remaining third-rate martial arts were not worth his time to practice.

Dai Changsheng deliberately memorized the contents of third-rate martial arts techniques because he wanted to share them with his counterparts in other worlds, so that they could use those techniques to train their subordinates!

As for the One-Finger Divine Skill, which is easy to learn but difficult to master, Dai Changsheng plans to first cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill to a high level before supplementing his training with this martial art.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill is one of the most profound martial arts manuals in Jin Yong's wuxia novels. This skill harmonizes yin and yang, combining strength and gentleness.

The latest novel is first published here!

If one can cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill to its highest level, one will not only be immune to all poisons and have an inexhaustible flow of true energy, but will also be able to use any martial art in the world.

If Zhang Wuji hadn't mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to the sixth level in just a few hours in the original story.

As the saying goes: Sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting!

As long as Dai Changsheng first cultivates the Nine Yang Divine Skill to the highest level, he can cultivate the One Yang Finger to the highest level in a short period of time.

After several days of searching, Zhu Changling and his team quickly discovered the monkey troop's trail and, following the clues, found the hidden valley.

To prevent Zhu Changling from taking advantage of the situation, Dai Changsheng did not enter the valley himself. Instead, he sent several servants who knew basic martial arts to use climbing ropes to enter the valley and retrieve the Nine Yang Divine Skill hidden inside the white ape.

Since the entire families of those servants lived in Red Plum Manor, Dai Changsheng didn't need to worry about them being greedy and treacherous.

Soon the servants climbed up the rope and handed the four scrolls of the Nine Yang Divine Skill, wrapped in oil paper, to Dai Changsheng.

After obtaining the Nine Yang Divine Skill, Dai Changsheng also began his arduous cultivation journey, spending at least four hours every day practicing the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Perhaps it was because of Dai Changsheng's comprehension and physical qualities that far surpassed those of ordinary people that he was able to cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill so efficiently.

In the original novel, it took Zhang Wuji five years to master the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Given Dai Changsheng's current cultivation speed, he should be able to cultivate to the Great Perfection realm in about a year at most.
