Shared Heavens from Douluo Continent

The Imp

To be honest, Dai Changsheng had little interest in He Jinyin and the others fighting over women. The one he was truly interested in was Ghost King Da.

Ghost King Da was an inheritor of ancient Chinese martial arts. He had once been undefeated throughout Southeast Asia and earned the nickname "Devil Muscle Man."

Unfortunately, during a Sino-Japanese showdown in 1988, his leg had been broken by Master Brother Duan Shui Liu's master. He had retired from the martial world ever since, becoming a lonely cripple who made a living running a general store.

Although Ghost King Da's current strength was less than a tenth of what it had once been, he was still exceptionally skilled at training disciples.

Under Ghost King Da's special training, He Jinyin had taken only a few months to go from an ordinary person who knew nothing to a martial arts expert capable of exchanging dozens of moves with Master Brother Duan Shui Liu.

In the original film, Master Brother Duan Shui Liu had been the absolute pinnacle of combat power. The kendo captains and judo captains from the Elite Center could not even withstand three moves against him.

Therefore, Dai Changsheng planned to invite Ghost King Da to join Golden Eagle Security Company as an instructor responsible for teaching everyone ancient Chinese martial arts.

"And Cissy, the beautiful reporter from the group next to mine. Her looks and figure are no worse than mine."

Le Huizhen had no idea what Dai Changsheng was thinking and continued complaining. "I heard she's recently investigating supernatural news. Apparently, her younger brother and some friends played a spirit-summoning game, and one of his friends happened to die from a heart attack.

"If I'm not mistaken, she'll definitely connect that person's accidental death to the spirit-summoning game, then turn it into some sensational supernatural news."

"Cissy? A spirit-summoning game?"

Dai Changsheng murmured those words softly, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose within him. He hurriedly asked Le Huizhen, "A-Zhen, what's Cissy's younger brother called?"

"Hmm..."

Le Huizhen thought for a moment. "I remember her brother's name seems to be Xiao Ming?"

Boom!!!

Dai Changsheng felt as though he had been struck by lightning, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

If Dai Changsheng had not guessed wrong, the Cissy and Xiao Ming Le Huizhen mentioned should be the male and female leads of the horror film The Imp.

Dai Changsheng had always believed that the world he was in was merely a relatively ordinary modern society. He had never expected it to have merged with the worldview of horror films as well.

(((Danger)))

Dai Changsheng felt as if a red character for "Danger" had appeared above his head, and intense unease welled up in his heart.

With Dai Changsheng's current strength, he could be considered invincible among ordinary people. However, against a vicious ghost like Chu Renmei, he truly had no confidence that he could win.

Fortunately, Dai Changsheng was well-traveled and experienced. Combined with his cheat that allowed him to share the powers of his other selves in other worlds, he was not so desperate as to lose hope.

Dai Changsheng quickly steadied his emotions and began considering countermeasures.

Since vicious ghosts existed in this world, there should also be extraordinary people capable of restraining them. Otherwise, this world would have long since become a realm ruled by vicious ghosts.

Moreover, Dai Changsheng had lived on Hong Kong Island for over twenty years and had never encountered a supernatural incident. This was the first time he had heard news about vicious ghosts from Le Huizhen, so supernatural incidents were clearly quite rare.

Of course, Dai Changsheng could not lower his guard simply because supernatural incidents were rare. He had to find a way to recruit some extraordinary people. He could not wait until he truly encountered a supernatural incident before scrambling for help.

"A-Zhen, how are your station's prospects these days? If the prospects are good, I could buy some shares and become one of your station's shareholders. Then I could also help promote you."

Dai Changsheng did not want to purchase television station shares solely to promote Le Huizhen. Rather, he felt that television stations had better-informed news channels and could help him find those extraordinary people more quickly.

Seeing that Dai Changsheng was willing to spend a fortune to support her, Le Huizhen, who had originally been utterly exhausted, immediately regained her energy. With her glib tongue, she successfully persuaded him to purchase television station shares.

Early the next morning

Led by Le Huizhen, Dai Changsheng arrived at Asia Television, where she worked. He met the station's current director and spent fifty million Hong Kong dollars to purchase some shares, becoming the station's third-largest shareholder.

Although the third-largest shareholder did not have as much say as the chairman, it was still easy for him to use the station's information channels to gather information Dai Changsheng wanted.

Perhaps Dai Changsheng's luck was simply good, because he soon obtained a useful piece of information.

The casinos across Southeast Asia were preparing to jointly hold a God of Gamblers Competition in Macau. They would select someone highly skilled in gambling to serve as the president of Southeast Asian casinos, responsible for supervising and eliminating all cheating activities.

If Dai Changsheng had not gotten it wrong, this God of Gamblers Competition should be the competition from God of Gamblers 3: Young Gambler. He could take the chance to make a huge profit and perhaps even recruit God of Gamblers Ko Chun under his command.

To confirm his suspicions, Dai Changsheng immediately used the television station's information channels to investigate Jin Neng.

In less than half a day, Sha Lena had delivered Jin Neng's files to Dai Changsheng's desk.

When Dai Changsheng saw that Jin Neng had a daughter named Jin Qing, as well as two disciples named Gao Ao and Ko Chun, he immediately confirmed his suspicions.

Since God of Gamblers Ko Chun existed in this world, that meant Saint of Gamblers Sing, who possessed supernatural powers, also existed. Clearly, this world was even more exciting than Dai Changsheng had imagined.

In the film Saint of Gamblers, everyone in Sing's village possessed superpowers. It was just that most of those superpowers were rather useless.

Compared to Hong Kong Island, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the vast and resource-rich mainland surely concealed even more extraordinary people.

As it happened, Li Jie had finally avenged his great wrong and wanted to ask Dai Changsheng for a few days off to return to the mainland and pay respects to his wife and child.

While Li Jie was returning to the mainland, Dai Changsheng could have him visit places like Mount Mao along the way.

Even if he could not recruit any extraordinary people for him, bringing back some powerful protective artifacts would still be good.

Having made up his mind, Dai Changsheng immediately had Sha Lena summon Li Jie. He approved one million Hong Kong dollars as operating funds and sent him back to the mainland on paid leave.

After Li Jie left, Dai Changsheng suddenly rubbed his brow and said, "Sha Lena, I'm really worked up right now!"

(ω)

Sha Lena's pretty face flushed slightly. She then skillfully locked the office door and crawled beneath the desk on all fours like a cat.

A Newcomer from Demon Slayer

"Hmm?"

Just as Dai Changsheng was marveling at how much better Shalina's oral skills had become, the scenery around him suddenly began to distort, and he was forcibly transported into the Gray Mist Space.

"..."

Seeing the speechless expressions on his other selves' faces, Dai Changsheng calmly pulled up his pants and shifted his gaze to the newcomer.

The newcomer entering the Gray Mist Space this time was a short-haired youth who appeared to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.

The newcomer wore a black uniform, carried a katana at his waist, and had a large character for "Destroy" on the back of his uniform.

Unless the newcomer was cosplaying, the world he had traveled to was obvious. It should be the world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

"Newcomer, don't be afraid. We're all you from other worlds. Touch us, and you'll understand everything."

As soon as Dai Changsheng finished speaking, he was the first to extend his right hand. The Dai Changshengs from the Conan world, Douluo world, and Heaven Sword world followed suit, placing their right hands atop his palm.

Seeing this, Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng had already vaguely guessed that his cheat had arrived. Yet he also feared that he had fallen victim to some Blood Demon Art, such as a nightmare spell. He extended his left hand while gripping the Nichirin Blade at his waist.

As the five hands connected, four unfamiliar sets of memories flooded into Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng's mind.

Once Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng had sorted through the additional memories, he could not help revealing an ecstatic expression.

After sharing the powers and memories of his other four selves, Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng's arm strength had surged to more than twelve hundred jin. He had also learned martial arts such as the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

With his monstrous strength and the Thunder Breathing he had mastered, Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng was now fully confident that he could slaughter the Lower Rank Demons among the Twelve Kizuki.

After absorbing Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng's memories, the other Dai Changshengs revealed expressions filled with fury and killing intent.

According to Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng's memories, he had once possessed a happy and complete family. Both his parents had been alive, and he had two twin younger sisters.

Unfortunately, all of that had been destroyed half a year ago by an evil demon that had come out to feed one night.

Had Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng not happened to be helping with odd jobs in the neighboring village that night, he likely would have become another victim beneath that demon's claws alongside his family.

When Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng saw the severed limbs and remains of his two younger sisters, the shock had been too much for him, and he had fallen unconscious on the spot. It was only several days later, under the villagers' care, that he finally awoke.

After waking from his coma, Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng had also recovered his memories from his previous life. When he saw the Demon Slayer Corps members who had come to hunt the evil demon, he immediately understood that he had traveled into the world of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

To avenge his dead family, Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng had joined the Demon Slayer Corps and become Jigoro Kuwajima's disciple.

Jigoro Kuwajima was the former Sound Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps and also the master of Zenitsu Agatsuma and Kaigaku.

After losing a leg at the age of thirty-five, Jigoro Kuwajima had withdrawn from the front lines of the Demon Slayer Corps. He had remained in seclusion on Peach Mountain ever since, becoming a trainer for the next generation of Thunder Breathing users.

However, Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng's cultivation talent was ordinary. He was far inferior to Zenitsu Agatsuma and Kaigaku of the same period. After training under Jigoro Kuwajima for half a year, he had only barely managed to enter the beginner stage of Thunder Breathing.

Although the Dai Changshengs from different worlds could no longer strictly be considered the same person due to their differing experiences and encounters, once their memories were shared, they became one person again.

After each Dai Changsheng shared the memories of his other selves, it was equivalent to gaining the memories of several alternate personalities.

Although those alternate personality memories could not replace the main personality's memories, they still affected the protagonist's emotions to some extent.

At the moment they shared Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng's memories, Dai Changsheng and the others experienced firsthand the rage and despair of having their families killed while being powerless to do anything.

If Muzan Kibutsuji had been transported into the Gray Mist Space, the Dai Changshengs would undoubtedly have joined forces to attack him without hesitation. That beast was the common enemy of every Dai Changsheng!

Fortunately, Dai Changsheng and the others had also shared their soul power. They quickly adjusted their mindsets and avoided being overwhelmed by that fury. They began exchanging information with one another.

After a brief exchange, that invisible repulsive force descended once more and transported Dai Changsheng and the others back to their respective worlds.

Douluo Continent

Spirit City, Pope's Palace, library.

Dai Changsheng, who had been reading, paused slightly before quickly resuming as normal.

After sorting through the additional memories in his mind, Dai Changsheng could not help revealing an unconcealable smile.

The benefits he had gained from this sharing session were simply enormous, especially the memories Heaven Sword Dai Changsheng had shared with him.

Based on Heaven Sword Dai Changsheng's memories, more than three months had passed in that world.

After cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill diligently for over three months, Heaven Sword Dai Changsheng had not yet reached the major completion realm, but he had cultivated it to the minor completion realm.

During this period, Zhu Changling had not forgotten to cause trouble. He secretly contacted his good brother Wu Lie and planned to first drug Dai Changsheng unconscious, then join forces to kill him and reclaim his property.

Since Zhu Jiuzhen was Dai Changsheng's personal maid, the task of drugging him naturally fell to her.

However, Zhu Changling and the others had not expected that Zhu Jiuzhen had long since been tamed by Dai Changsheng with the Turning Gun Technique. The moment she agreed to cooperate with Zhu Changling's plan, she immediately informed Dai Changsheng of it.

After learning of this, Dai Changsheng did not rush to expose Zhu Changling and the others' plot. Instead, he turned their scheme against them!

In the end, Dai Changsheng not only punished Zhu Changling and the others thoroughly, but also fed them a slow-acting poison he had concocted. He then took the opportunity to annex all of Wu Lie's property.

Wu Qingying, who was known alongside Zhu Jiuzhen as one of the "Twin Beauties of Snow Ridge," naturally did not escape Dai Changsheng's clutches either. He trained her into his exclusive firearm.

As for the martial arts manuals collected at Wu Family Manor, Dai Changsheng had read through every one of them and memorized them using his powerful memory.

The strongest martial art among them was none other than the Orchid Finger-Acupoint Hand, a martial art created by Huang Yaoshi!

Although the Orchid Finger-Acupoint Hand could not compare to the One Yang Finger, it was still a powerful first-rate martial art and held considerable value for collection and research.

White Tiger Saber Technique

"Rumble..."

With a thought from Dai Changsheng, the soul power within his body immediately began circulating according to the Nine Yang Divine Skill's route.

Compared to meditative cultivation, cultivation through the Nine Yang Divine Skill was clearly much faster. Its efficiency in increasing soul power was roughly five times that of meditative cultivation.

Once Dai Changsheng had completely converted the soul power in his body into the supremely firm and pure Yang Nine Yang True Qi, he naturally mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill at the minor completion realm.

The reason Dai Changsheng had managed to cultivate the Nine Yang Divine Skill to the minor completion realm so quickly was not merely because he had shared Heaven Sword Dai Changsheng's cultivation memories. More importantly, it was because his body contained a considerable amount of soul power.

After this period of diligent cultivation, Dai Changsheng's soul power had already reached level twenty-five. Converted into internal energy, it was certainly greater than that of Heaven Sword Dai Changsheng, who had cultivated for over three months.

If it had been Hong Kong Film World Dai Changsheng and the others, then even after sharing Heaven Sword Dai Changsheng's cultivation memories, they would still have needed two or three months to cultivate enough Nine Yang True Qi and advance it to the minor completion realm.

Therefore, for Hong Kong Film World Dai Changsheng and the others, Demon Slayer Dai Changsheng's shared memories were more useful in the short term.

After all, the Breathing Techniques of the Demon Slayer world only required one to master specific breathing rhythms to unleash strength far beyond that of ordinary people.

After converting all the soul power in his body into Nine Yang True Qi, Dai Changsheng stroked his chin in thought for a while before opening his research notebook and beginning to write and draw within it.

Soon, a Self-Created Soul Skill called the "White Tiger Saber Technique" appeared in Dai Changsheng's research notebook. Apart from five simple saber techniques, it also contained corresponding illustrations of the moves.

Because Dai Changsheng's current strength was too weak, the best way for him to increase his influence within Spirit Hall was to make some useful contributions.

Publicly revealing a Self-Created Soul Skill he had researched was an excellent method.

It could both increase Dai Changsheng's Contribution Value to Spirit Hall and cement his reputation as a master of martial soul research.

Of course, the White Tiger Saber Technique was not actually a Self-Created Soul Skill created by Dai Changsheng. Its original name was the Black Tiger Saber Technique, a third-rate saber art from the Heaven Sword world.

Dai Changsheng was still too young. If he directly presented an especially powerful Self-Created Soul Skill, others would only think he had hired a ghostwriter. A third-rate saber art like the White Tiger Saber Technique, on the other hand, was much easier for others to accept.

Moreover, Dai Changsheng was already skilled with saber techniques, and his martial soul was the White Tiger Martial Soul. Creating the White Tiger Saber Technique by studying the White Tiger Martial Soul could not have been more reasonable!

"Changsheng, I knew you'd be here."
