Chapter 508 - 507: North Nether Divine Skill at Full Level
Of course, the fact that Ding Ling is still considered the husband of Zhong Ling and Mu Wanqing is part of the reason behind this. To Duan Yu, how could anyone capable of being their husband possibly be a bad person?
And to win over Ding Ling, as well as to have him meet the Immortal Sister soon.
Also, because he has self-awareness.
And he is not interested in Martial Arts at all.
Duan Yu then voluntarily handed over the Secret Scroll.
Upon receiving it, Ding Ling, to avoid delays and possibly losing it, immediately opened the Secret Scroll to read.
Opening the scroll, there were four striking characters in an elegant script.
North Nether Divine Skill!
Indeed, it is the North Nether Divine Skill.
Ding Ling felt delighted in his heart.
This is rumored to be a Supreme Divine Skill not at all weaker than the Nine Yang Divine Skill!
He spread it out carefully, not avoiding Duan Yu.
Duan Yu, however, glanced at it and quickly averted his eyes, his face flushed and heart racing, not daring to look more. The female figures on the scroll were quite captivating, but Ding Ling was oblivious and read rapidly, ten lines at a glance.
Just a cursory look.
Ding Ling realized the high difficulty in cultivating the North Nether Divine Skill.
First, one must dissipate the entirety of their Inner Power.
Next, one must completely forget everything learned in the past, with their mind clear of any other Martial Arts Heart Techniques or distractions, focusing solely on this skill.
Just these two points.
Are enough to dissuade countless Martial Arts Experts.
Even if some manage to achieve the first point, the second is likely insurmountable, for those who cultivate Martial Arts invariably have some Heart Methods or Mantras lingering in their minds. How could one completely forget?!
Thus, these two barriers exclude countless Martial Dao talents.
Seeing this, Ding Ling also understood why Duan Yu succeeded while Ding Chunqiu and others could not!
Moreover, the North Nether Divine Skill consists of a total of thirty-six illustrations!
In the original work, it seems that Duan Yu only practiced the first and second illustrations, yet he was able to dominate one side.
If all thirty-six illustrations are cultivated to full level, the power would be unimaginable!
Ding Ling finished reading.
A brief recollection in his mind.
In an instant.
[North Nether Divine Skill Full Level]
[Inner Power Value +100]
Whooosh!
A surge of Spiritual Mechanism and Primordial Qi rushed from all directions, engulfing Ding Ling’s figure in an instant.
Ding Ling operated the Nine Yang Divine Skill in an attempt to absorb and refine the Primordial Qi.
However, it was in vain.
Once these Qi entered the body, like the Nine Yang Divine Skill and Nine Yin Scripture, they automatically condensed into a profound, mysterious, and boundless North Nether True Qi!
"It’s done!"
Ding Ling rejoiced inside, experiencing a profound understanding, and sighed with endless wonder.
This North Nether Divine Skill has the marvelous effects of Transformation, Absorption, and Storage Skills.
Transformation can dissolve the opponent’s power.
Absorption can absorb the opponent’s power.
Storage can perfectly convert absorbed Inner Power into North Nether True Qi!
Now with Ding Ling’s North Nether True Qi protecting him, as long as he absorbs other Inner Power, the North Nether True Qi can rapidly grow!
Not only that.
The North Nether Divine Skill, when reaching full level, has almost no side effects! In practice, it operates smoothly and allows for the construction of a very strong shield!
The shield can neutralize the opponent’s attacks and counter.
When combined with the Gang Qi Shield of Nine Yang Divine Skill.
It can be said that Ding Ling’s Defense has surged significantly in an instant.
And this is with only one North Nether True Qi; if it grows, the Defense will naturally rise!
’Very good!’
Ding Ling was very satisfied.
The North Nether True Qi encompasses Yin and Yang, can be both rigid and flexible, stored in the Dantian without clashing with other True Qi, which is a significant advantage.
"...!!"
Mu Wanqing and Duan Yu were stunned.
Duan Yu was indeed better off, but being from the Dali Duan Family, he naturally understands the difficulty of cultivating Martial Arts. Ding Ling seemingly just read through it once, and it appears he has mastered the North Nether Divine Skill. This... is genius!
Mu Wanqing, reflecting on how Zhong Ling was always speaking highly, chattering endlessly about Ding Ling along the journey, couldn’t help but have her gaze with a transformation towards Ding Ling, adding a bit of admiration and apprehension. The admiration is self-explanatory, but the apprehension lies in whether Ding Ling, being so exceptional, would accept her?
And Zhong Ling? Ding Ling has already responded to her.
But he hasn’t to her.
Mu Wanqing couldn’t help feeling a bit bitter, yet formed a thought in her heart:
"Master said the first man to see my face is one I must marry. En route, hearing many things from Zhong Ling, I roughly understand Ding Ling’s temperament.
This man’s cultivation and talent are fearsome to an extreme, yet he is decent and upright, with a beauty in front, he doesn’t engage in disgraceful acts, evidently a reliable man.
Marrying such a man isn’t necessarily a bad thing."
Thinking this way.
Mu Wanqing’s pretty face was flushed, yet she couldn’t voice any words out, just stared fixedly at Ding Ling, somewhat lost in thought for a moment.
"Brother Ding, you’ve mastered it?"
Zhong Ling decided to become Ding Ling’s wife, so she dared to speak, ask, candidly.
"Indeed."
"Brother Ding, is this how you’ve been cultivating all the way?"
"Pretty much."
"Really enviable."
Zhong Ling longed: "If only I had such talent."
Ling Yanqiu chuckled, thinking: "Your Brother Ding’s talent is exceedingly rare, possibly the Martial God descended; we mere mortals had better not compare with him."
After finishing North Nether Divine Skill, Ding Ling moved on to Ripple Step.
Quickly finished reading.
Brief recollection.
[Ripple Step Body Technique Full Level]
[Strength +0.2]
[Agility +0.4]
[Constitution +0.2]
[Ripple Step Heart Technique Full Level]
[Inner Power Value +100]
This is evidently a top-notch Lightweight Skill not weaker than Spiral Nine Shadows.
Based on the 64 Hexagrams of the Book of Changes, it becomes a Body Technique.
Ding Ling slightly shifted his body, moving his feet lightly, he seemed like a gust of wind swiftly moving in four directions, discovering this Ripple Step each cycle of running accelerates special inner breath to complete a cycle, also bringing a few benefits to Inner Power.
This is clearly a Supreme Skill integrating Inner Power and Body Technique.
Heart Technique embedded within.
Ordinary people practicing Ripple Step cannot perceive, only when reaching a certain level can there be awareness that Ripple Step actually is a Technique cultivating Inner Power as well.
Only it differs from other Inner Power Skills.
It is an Active Skill.
Meaning requiring constant practice of Ripple Step running, the faster you run, the more cycles complete, the more Inner Power strengthens.
Ding Ling’s eyes brightened slightly.
Extremely satisfied.
Especially when he discovered the inner power generated by Ripple Step was all absorbed relentlessly by North Nether True Qi, causing him to glance at North Nether True Qi.
Sure enough.
The waves of Primordial Qi absorbed after Ripple Step Heart Technique reached full level were devoured, absorbed, refined by North Nether True Qi; now North Nether True Qi transformed into two Qi.
Just need one more to become North Nether True Water!
"Not surprising for the top-tier Body Technique, Inner Power of the Carefree Sect."
