Chapter 6: Heavenly Dao Controller

"Nine Yang Divine Art, Universe Shift..."

Zhang Sanfeng's heart stirred, yet he did not feel much excitement.

The Nine Yang Divine Art is indeed a top-tier divine art; when Master Jueyuan passed away, he mumbled parts of the "Nine Yang True Canon" scripture in his delirium.

As a disciple of Master Jueyuan, he was by his side at the time, as were Guo Xiang and Master Wuse of Shaolin, and each of them memorized a portion.

Of the three people present back then, Master Wuse had the highest martial arts; Guo Xiang had learned the most broadly; Zhang Sanfeng himself had no foundation in martial arts at the time, and precisely because of this, what he learned was the most pure.

Thus, the Shaolin, Emei, and Wudang sects each obtained a part: one gained its "height," one gained its "breadth," and one gained its "purity."

The martial arts of the three sects each have their strengths, but one could also say they each have their weaknesses.

Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Xiang later became the founding ancestors of the Wudang Sect and the Emei Sect, respectively.

The "Nine Yang Divine Art" inspired the martial arts with which Wudang and Emei were founded, and the Shaolin Sect also benefited greatly after Wuse; the main root lies in this portion of the "Nine Yang Divine Art," also known as the "Wudang Nine Yang Skill," "Shaolin Nine Yang Skill," and "Emei Nine Yang Skill."

From this, one can see how formidable the Nine Yang Divine Art is; a single technique, with three people each holding a part, could become the top-tier heritage of their respective sects.

If he were still in his youth, Zhang Sanfeng might have had some thoughts about the Nine Yang Divine Art.

In his middle age, Zhang Sanfeng had absolutely no craving for the Nine Yang Divine Art; after all, he was already invincible.

And in the current era, his own foundation and insight could allow him to create techniques not at all inferior to the Nine Yang Divine Art.

Regarding this divine art, which holds a legendary status in the Jianghu, he did not have much desire to pursue it.

As for the Ming Cult's sect-protecting divine art, Universe Shift, Zhang Sanfeng had also heard of it.

Its methods and techniques are vastly different from those of the Central Plains and are quite tyrannical; the Bright Left Envoy Yang Xiao practices this very method.

But from his perspective, the Bright Left Envoy Yang Xiao... er, not just Yang Xiao, the vast majority of people under heaven are the same.

When he is happy, he deals with one person at a time; when he is unhappy, he deals with one person at a time.

Therefore, Zhang Sanfeng was not very interested in these two top-tier divine arts.

But he did indeed receive Zhang Xuan's good intentions; the other party was so conscientious in apologizing and explaining to him because of a small mistake.

Trading a Wudang internal art for the information on two of the world's most supreme divine arts... to anyone in the Jianghu, this would not be considered a loss.

However, it is true that Zhang Sanfeng had no interest in these two divine arts; the one who was interested was actually Zhang Xuan.

So, being in the Zhetian World and seeking the top-tier divine arts of the Martial Arts world is somewhat laughable.

But firstly, the Nine Yang Divine Art and Universe Shift can fill the Group File, making the Chat Group appear a bit more high-end.

Secondly, even in a high-martial, high-magic world like Zhetian.

Cultivation methods cannot be obtained easily; ten birds in the forest are not as good as one in the hand.

Compared to the techniques of Zhetian, the Nine Yang Divine Art and Universe Shift, no matter how "low-level," are still Zhang Xuan's.

No matter how good the Zhetian techniques are, if they cannot be obtained at the moment, they are just empty.

Seeing that there was no message from Zhang Sanfeng for a long time, Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and could understand Zhang Sanfeng's general state.

For a supreme Martial Dao Grandmaster like Zhang Sanfeng, the demand for these cultivation methods is actually very low.

The Taiji Fist and Taiji Sword Art that Zhang Sanfeng is about to create are both supreme techniques under heaven, not inferior to any technique in the world.

The Pure Yang Boundless Skill he created after middle age is also a technique not inferior to the Nine Yang Divine Art.

After the Nine Yang Divine Art reaches completion, the internal energy is endless and one becomes immune to all poisons; these things have little meaning to Zhang Sanfeng.

With the current level of Zhang Sanfeng's Pure Yang Boundless Skill, achieving these effects should not be difficult.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, Zhang Xuan chose to take a roundabout approach.

Zhang Xuan: These divine arts are likely unimportant to you, True Person; it is my own selfishness, wanting to build the Chat Group better.

Since you are not interested in this matter, why not talk about something else.

When the Heavenly Dao Controller creates worlds, and when worlds are born or destroyed, spiritual light falls into my heart.

I am actually quite familiar with the world where you reside, True Person Zhang.

There is something that has always pained your heart, True Person Zhang; it is likely that the Sixth Hero Yu had his bones broken and his tendons severed, his martial arts completely ruined.

I have heard that the Vajra Sect in the Western Regions possesses a Black Jade Ointment that can reconnect broken limbs; even for old, chronic injuries, one can break them again and then reconnect them...

Zhang Xuan recounted the matter of the Vajra Sect defecting to the Great Yuan and pointedly emphasized that there was no need to go to the Western Regions to find the Vajra Sect.

One can find members of the Vajra Sect by going directly to the Ruyang Wangfu and obtain the Black Jade Ointment.

Zhang Sanfeng's heart shook again upon hearing this; the matter of Yu Daiyan was a pain in his heart, and the seven disciples under his tutelage were all extremely outstanding.

Each of them had a great reputation in the Jianghu, and many years ago, while walking the Jianghu, Yu Daiyan was suddenly sent to the foot of Wudang Mountain one night, his entire body's bones broken by the Great Diamond Finger, a unique secret skill of Shaolin, and he had been a cripple ever since.

This had always been the pain in his heart.

Now, if this could be resolved, let alone a Wudang internal art, even if it required the Pure Yang Boundless Skill he practiced himself, he would be very willing to pay it.

Zhang Sanfeng: Is this true?

Zhang Xuan: In my view, it cannot be false; besides, with your current martial arts, True Person, it would not be too difficult to verify it.

Inside Wudang Mountain, in the True Martial Hall, Zhang Sanfeng's expression was violently shaken.

After deep thought for a long time, he summoned his eldest disciple, Song Yuanqiao.

"Yuanqiao, I have been quiet for too long and wish to move; I will be going down the mountain soon. After I leave, the affairs of the sect will be entirely under your management; do not let any mistakes occur."

"Disciple obeys!"

Song Yuanqiao cupped his hands and responded in a deep voice.

Thinking of the Nine Yang Divine Art and Universe Shift that Zhang Xuan mentioned, Zhang Sanfeng did not have much curiosity about these two divine arts.

But thinking of the implications in Zhang Xuan's previous words, it seemed he wanted to establish something like a Scripture Depository within the Chat Group.

Calling divine art manuals "files" felt a bit awkward to Zhang Sanfeng, but he could understand it after shifting the concept in his mind, so he thought for a moment and instructed Song Yuanqiao.

"Have a few disciples go to the Kunlun Mountains, with Zhuwu Lianhuan Zhuang as the center, to search for the cliffs and precipices there, and find a cave entrance on the cliffs... there should be a divine art lost in the early years inside..."

Song Yuanqiao's expression jolted, and he immediately became serious.

"Yes, this disciple will certainly handle it with care!"

Zhang Sanfeng is the founder of the Wudang Sect, and the entire Wudang Sect was established by him, but for many years he has been in the secular world, basically either in seclusion or traveling.

Song Yuanqiao is already very skilled at managing the Wudang Sect.

As for Zhang Sanfeng, who is nearly a hundred years old, going down the mountain, he is not worried at all.

Daoist martial arts are upright and peaceful; the older one gets, the deeper their cultivation becomes.

Since his master, who was already invincible in the world during his middle age, is going down the mountain, what he should be worried about is not his master, but the world.

Zhang Sanfeng did not make much preparation; after giving instructions on relevant matters, he tucked some silver in his pocket and walked straight outside.

While walking, he was still chatting with Zhang Xuan in his mind.

Zhang Sanfeng: If my third disciple can truly be restored, this old Daoist will certainly have a generous reward.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan felt a surge of joy in his heart.

Zhang Sanfeng is a figure from the era of the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties, and he is also a righteous figure in the Jianghu.

Jianghu figures place great importance on promises and rewards; since he said so, he will definitely give Zhang Xuan a very generous reward.

Zhang Xuan knew this matter was settled, but he responded very calmly on the surface.

Zhang Xuan: It was my fault in the first place, True Person Zhang need not take it too much to heart.

If I can be of any help to True Person Zhang, this junior would also be quite pleased.

After chatting with Zhang Sanfeng in a scholarly tone for a while, it made Zhang Xuan's own speech become a bit scholarly as well.

However, Zhang Sanfeng soon fell silent, his avatar dimmed, and he stopped speaking.

It is likely that he went to investigate the whereabouts of the relevant members of the Diamond Gate to confirm whether what Zhang Xuan said was true; it is very possible he went to stake out the area near Ruyang Wangfu.

Zhang Xuan observed a moment of silence for the members of the Diamond Gate twice, and then returned to his calm state.

The matter should take some time to complete, so Zhang Xuan continued to sit cross-legged on the bed to practice his Wudang Internal Energy.

Although Wudang Internal Energy is a foundational method for entering the world of martial arts and cannot be considered very profound, its value lies in being upright and peaceful, allowing one to switch to any other method later.

A ten-thousand-foot building rises from the ground; although he may obtain many cultivation methods in the future, Wudang Internal Energy is the only one Zhang Xuan has obtained so far, and it can be practiced stably.

Zhang Xuan did not feel anxious and just practiced slowly like this.

Every day he still returned to his previous calm life, typing in his spare time and practicing Internal Energy in his free time.

It must be said that after practicing Internal Energy, Zhang Xuan's hearing and vision became sharp; many web novels he read in his previous life, which he didn't remember very clearly after too much time had passed since coming to this world, were becoming clearer.

Now that his Internal Energy has gradually entered the basics and he practices the Small Heavenly Cycle every day, his memory is getting better and better, and many things he has read can be remembered as long as he thinks about them carefully.

His typing speed increased greatly, and his hand speed was extremely fast; he could type tens of thousands of words a day, simply a heartless typing machine.

The few novels he published were praised by people every day, who exclaimed that a "tentacle monster" was alive in the world.

Zhang Xuan did not care.

After preparing enough manuscripts, he began to travel to various places, especially in pursuit of the legends of Immortals and Gods, such as Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain, Sanqing Mountain...

He wanted to find some inheritance on Earth, but there was no movement.

Going to these ancient areas with mythological legends, Zhang Xuan at most felt that the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence was a bit denser than in other areas, but he never encountered an Immortal fate even once.

Zhang Xuan did not go to Mount Tai, as he did not quite dare to.

After Mount Tai experienced the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin incident, it must have gathered a large number of practitioners, and it is very likely that one could obtain an inheritance there.

But there are both righteous and evil paths there; if he accidentally revealed his tracks and was targeted by evil sects, losing his life, that would be a huge joke.

After half a month of calm life, Zhang Xuan was already able to stably practice the Small Heavenly Cycle and even began to touch upon the practice of the Great Heavenly Cycle.

The Chat Group, which had been silent for nearly half a month, finally had new movement, and Zhang Sanfeng finally started to bubble up.

Zhang Sanfeng: Little friend is truly amazing, this old Daoist is endlessly grateful.

One look and Zhang Xuan knew that his business was done!
