Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1004 - 88: Goddamn Superman Mutation!

If we want to definitively say that Wang Qi's current touch on the Primordial Spirit Heaven Barrier is due to the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, then there's one point that still requires reflection.

The "Primordial Spirit Stage characteristics" Wang Qi carries, or the "ability to touch the Primordial Spirit Heaven Barrier," is it truly derived from the Heart Demon Mysterious Net?

Although Wang Qi let his Spirit Rhinoceros Illusion operate within the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, he isn't absorbing or refining the Heart Demon Mysterious Net. He's different from the Holy Emperor Venerable. The Holy Emperor Venerable doesn't believe in outer objects, so he will refine anything powerful and valuable upon seeing it. However, Wang Qi believes that tools are just tools.

Throughout, he treated the Heart Demon Mysterious Net as a special ultra-large calculator network, using it.

In other words, aside from significantly enhancing Wang Qi's computational power, the Heart Demon Mysterious Net doesn't greatly affect him. The traits of the Heart Demon Mysterious Net shouldn't be reflected in Wang Qi.

The tasks Wang Qi accomplished using the Heart Demon Mysterious Net could also be achieved by top-tier Immortal Artifact level calculators. In other words, if Wang Qi truly gained breakthrough abilities due to his connection with the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, then he could achieve the same by borrowing advanced calculators from the Immortal Alliance.

Furthermore, Wang Qi is not the first individual to maintain a constant Mana connection with the Heart Demon Mysterious Net.

The Divine Capital Special Zone is the experimental field for the Heart Demon Mysterious Net. There, almost everyone with "Mana" [or neutral Heart Demon Curse Power] maintains a twenty-four-hour connection with the Heart Demon Mysterious Net.

If Wang Qi gained Primordial Spirit Stage traits due to the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, then they should also be reflected in them.

"Could it be that the information about this has been intentionally sealed, so I didn't notice? Actually, do those mortals in Divine Capital possess certain traits of high-order cultivators?"

Wang Qi thought for a moment and eventually shook his head.

Chen Feng and Ai Qinglan stayed in Divine Capital for a considerable time after the Divine Capital battle. If this kind of anomaly existed at this level, they shouldn't have failed to notice it.

——Of course, there is a possibility they also signed confidentiality agreements. However, the likelihood they can't tell me, in the end, is not high.

——In reality, with my current permissions, I could directly ask Teacher Feng about this issue and get an answer.

Wang Qi decided to first note down this assumption and leave it to be refuted or proved later.

"For now, let's assume no one in Divine Capital exhibits these 'similar to Primordial Spirit' traits. Then, what's different between me and the people of Divine Capital?"

"Firstly, the issue of connection method. They are infected by the Heart Demon Great Curse, directly linking to the Heart Demon Mysterious Net. Whereas I control the Heart Demon Mysterious Net through the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body, and then use Jarvis to control the memory body, connecting myself with Jarvis."

The difference between a brain plug and a VR headset.

Though Wang Qi intuitively felt this was unlikely, he still thought he should verify this assumption.

"The best method of verification is to infect oneself with the Heart Demon Great Curse to experience 'direct linkage.'" Wang Qi weighed the pros and cons in his mind, then gave up this plan. The Supreme Heart Demon Curse in his hand is currently an infinitely extending network cable, its side effects still 'unknown,' but who knows how serious this 'unknown' could be!

"Well then, just finding some people in Divine Capital randomly to let them hold a memory body and try it." Wang Qi noted this down.

"Next is the issue of self-level. I have authority-level expertise in calculator mathematics and touch the forefront of cultivation theory. Chen Feng and Ai Qinglan have also helped me quite a bit. Taking everything into account, I am an individual case. And those people of Divine Capital don't have this level. They can't harness the power of the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, so the traits of a high-order cultivator can't be manifested."

This element, it seems, can only be verified by time. Wang Qi will need about seven years to break through to the Primordial Spirit Stage. Within these seven years, the first batch of cultivators native to the Divine Capital Special Zone should grow up.

"Temporarily unable to verify. Delay."

Then, Wang Qi began contemplating other possibilities.

"The disparity in computational power. Divine Capital people share a single Heart Demon Mysterious Net among millions, while I exclusively use it."

Wang Qi added the option "attempt to equip some Divine Capital people with advanced calculators" to his plan.

"Furthermore, my Mana is self-sustained, whereas the Divine Capital people's power is granted by the Heart Demon Mysterious Net."

This point, like the previous speculation, must wait until the first batch of Divine Capital Special Zone natives grow up to be verified.

"Lastly, there's... 'protocol.'

Wang Qi's 'protocol' here isn't a contract between individuals, but a special algorithm for communication between different system calculators.

The people of Divine Capital lack this layer of protocol. They are connected through the Heart Demon Curse Network, naturally becoming part of the Heart Demon Mysterious Net. But Wang Qi is different; he interacts through a layer of protocol, viewing his Spirit Rhinoceros Illusion's interaction with the Heart Demon Mysterious Net.

Wang Qi's fingers unconsciously tapped on something.

Thinking it over carefully, it seems... it seems this speculation is quite plausible, huh?

The protocol is a collection of special algorithms. Its role is to realize the interaction between two information systems.

"Interaction... interaction... interaction is internal-external exchange."

"Internal-external exchange implies 'open' nature..."

Wang Qi's finger tapping became increasingly rapid, and his eyes grew brighter.

"Heh heh! This really seems highly possible!"

It's certainly incorrect to say information is the foundation of everything.

However, information is a physical quantity, and it also possesses the properties of matter.

Reading, writing, transcribing, erasing—all of these consume energy.

Of course, in this universe, consuming Spiritual Energy is the same.

The interaction of internal and external information can also be regarded as a form of "opening."

Cultivation is about turning one's life system from "closed" to "open," always maintaining negative entropy. However, this process doesn't necessarily have to have Spiritual Energy as the carrier of interaction. It's just that in this universe, Spiritual Energy is extremely useful, that's all.

As a result, Spirit Sense is the same.

It could be said that through this interaction protocol, Wang Qi's essence has already interacted internally and externally, achieving unity with Heaven and Man.

This is also one of the reasons he possesses the abilities of the Primordial Spirit Stage. Essentially, he has already become a Primordial Spirit Cultivator. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I feel like I've thought of something incredible..."

Wang Qi suddenly stood up and started pacing back and forth in the room.

For some reason, his thoughts began to turn a bit anxious.

——That's right, writing and erasing Spirit Sense also require consumption. Think about it, the power-consuming part of a computer isn't just the display, the host is the major power consumer, right?

——The Spiritual Energy I've absorbed lately has all been used to maintain interaction with the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, and hasn't accumulated.

——However, these days, I've actually accumulated quite a bit of change in Spirit Rhinoceros Illusion. My Mana is indeed in a state of internal and external interaction, unity with Heaven and Man.

"What exactly have I thought of..." Wang Qi ran his fingers through his hair, loosening his topknot without realizing it.

——This protocol seems simple to replicate... at least simpler than promoting the cultivation method...

——Which means... universal immortal cultivation, could it really be that simple?

——If the algorithm upgrades could go further and completely open up the information system, allowing the thin power within a mortal to operate in an immortal mode, wouldn't that mean...

"Hey, hey, could universal immortality be this simple?"

Wang Qi felt like banging his head against the ground and wanted to burst into laughter.

At this moment, there was only one word left in his mind.

——****** superhuman transformation!

Universal longevity could absolutely reshape the entire societal structure of the Shenzhou People Clan in a very short time.

If this isn't a superhuman transformation, then what is?

"Calm down, calm down... Developing a celestial level information interaction protocol isn't something that gets done easily, and creating a system that fully shares everything isn't that simple either—even a dataized cultivation method may not be capable of this 'full openness' before I become an immortal myself... calm down, calm down... Universal longevity... oops, universal immortality, isn't that easy either, look, I can't even speak properly now..." Wang Qi chuckled softly, trying to shake off the emotions in his heart.

However, his strange remarks unexpectedly made Zhen Chan lose his composure: "What did you say? Universal immortality?"

His roar shook Wang Qi's soul, making it unstable. Wang Qi was no longer the young boy just entering the Qi Cultivation Stage. With Zhen Chan's current soul power, it would take some effort to shake Wang Qi. This shows just how unsettled Zhen Chan really was.

What a joke! The old man painstakingly cultivated for thousands of years, for what? Isn't it for longevity? Isn't it for eternity? But now someone tells him that in the future, it will inevitably become "everyone can be immortal"...

This... this...

Zhen Chan once again fell into bewilderment.

Wang Qi, on the other hand, regained his calm using Zhen Chan's shock.

"A society of universal immortality, it's not like we haven't seen it. Although the Dragon Clan guards against the Undying Beast, they are basically at a level of universal undying..."

"Senior Sister Mi and the others are the same. The Sea God Type naturally doesn't have aging and death, only self-destruction..."

Wang Qi shook his head, feeling that the world was still normal.

This is also the nature of science. By discarding the mystical and adopting a method that "others can fully understand," shared insights can be communicated. [Intelligence issues notwithstanding] Therefore, in scientific and technological advancements, often a result can be easily replicated by successors.

The truly difficult part is only the development of the "first" of its kind.

Once the "first" has been completed, the following steps truly become just a mass production process. Moreover, as mass production proceeds, costs will gradually decrease.

Everyone being able to form a Golden Core, more and more becoming Carefree—these phenomena all illustrate this point.

Wang Qi is now beginning to think about how to write a letter to Feng Luoyi.

This kind of research that benefits the country and the people, surely shouldn't be done personally by him, should it? This credit, it should be left to others, let the public fund it, to perfect his Wang Qi's cultivation method!
