Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1016 - 100: The Secret of Cultivation

Wu Qi spent the latter half of this day in a state of mental disorientation.

He never expected, truly never expected, that the mysterious "Reincarnation Realm Master" would dare to act so brazenly before numerous high-level cultivators, committing murder to silence witnesses!

He showed no regard for provoking the ire of the Holy Emperor Venerable! In other words, that mysterious "Reincarnation Realm Master" wasn't even afraid of the Holy Emperor Venerable!

How could this be the weakling they speculated "might not even handle high-level cultivators"?

This was clearly a supreme expert!

As for why the Reincarnation Realm Master only pulled low-level cultivators into the Reincarnation Realm... perhaps he was simply pleased to do so? Maybe this batch just wanted to gather a bunch of low-level cultivators?

He actually dared to muster the courage to confront such a terrifying existence just now...

"I am ultimately too weak, only to be manipulated by others..."

As Wu Qi entertained such thoughts in his mind, he didn't watch his steps and collided straight into someone.

But just as their shoulders were about to collide, Wu Qi suddenly felt a premonition of danger, hurriedly stopped, and quickly stepped to the side of the small path.

Then, a cold-faced young cultivator walked past him.

"Xia Li..." Wu Qi clenched his fists.

It was widely rumored that Xia Li was the most gifted among the low-level disciples of today's Luochen Sword Palace. It's said that he once crippled the disciple of the third elder, gravely offending the elder, yet miraculously used his talent in the Sword Dao to win the elder's favor, becoming the closed-door disciple of the third elder!

Simply put, this level of talent is astonishing! Heaven-defying!

He seemed just like the protagonist found in tales and legends!

Just being near him caused Wu Qi's heart to skip a beat, compelling fear within him.

As a cultivator, Wu Qi naturally had a competitive spirit. The mere thought of the gap between himself and Xia Li left him feeling unsettled.

The achievements he struggled to obtain by fighting tooth and nail in the Reincarnation World were effortlessly within reach for this person.

Wu Qi clenched his fists, as though he could still feel the touch left behind by the mysterious True Intent Inheritance he absorbed.

He took a deep breath.

"I am still at too low a level..."

"I must continuously become stronger… stronger… stronger… until one day I can completely break free from the Reincarnation Realm Master's grasp!"

"In reality, I am but an ordinary cultivator, but the Reincarnation World has given me a chance. The very first time I entered the Reincarnation, I acquired an incredible inheritance! To me, this is an opportunity."

"The Reincarnation World is my destiny…"

The young man gritted his teeth, making a resolute decision in his heart.

The Reincarnation Space can also exchange for cultivation time, allowing oneself to return to past worlds to continue cultivating.

There is a ten-day interval between each Reincarnation task.

It is impossible for me to cultivate such an elite Divine Tao inheritance as the "Seven Chapters of the Mystic Monarch" within the sensing range of Luochen Sword Palace and the Holy Emperor Venerable. The next task will be my opportunity!

In his intense emotions, he didn't even realize that Xia Li, who hadn't appeared for several months, had once again emerged before everyone.

...........................

Xia Li's emergence from seclusion after several months caused a moderately significant stir in Luochen Sword Palace. After being taken by the third elder previously, Xia Li hadn't been visible for several months. This led some with dark minds to speculate that perhaps the third elder had secretly harmed him.

It's just that Luochen Sword Palace had recently experienced a number of deaths, which somewhat overshadowed the reemergence of this super genius Xia Li.

However, Wang Qi didn't care about these things. The reason he pretended to stroll around Luochen Sword Palace was to ensure that his "criminal evidence" had been adequately destroyed.

The most crucial calculators and the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory had already been securely disposed of within the dual insurance of the Sword Box and the Ruyi Bag, with unparalleled protection, providing absolute safety. Wang Qi was now just ensuring that the Tai Chu Sword God Array also appeared normal.

After the bizarre event with "Lun," the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao cultivators were likely to investigate.

Upon confirming that everything was normal, Wang Qi returned to his room. He then assumed a meditation posture, crossed his legs, and quietly practiced breath control.

Now, he no longer heavily relied on the Tai Chu Sword God Array. Since the establishment of the Human Dao Network and the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, the Tai Chu Sword God Array at Luochen Sword Palace had become somewhat dispensable. Furthermore, now that his Divine Plague Curse Technique and Heart Demon Great Curse had laid roots in the underground of Spirit Phoenix Island, the Tai Chu Sword God Array had practically become meaningless.

The flame has already been kindled. Infected by the Heart Demon Great Curse, the flame of reform will ignite. Sooner or later, the entire Human Dao Network will fall under Wang Qi's control.

And now, Wang Qi can issue commands to the Heart Demon Mysterious Net relying solely on his own mana.

This is a miraculous feeling. Through a specially devised protocol algorithm of his own making, Wang Qi maintained no substantial connection with the Supreme Heart Demon Curse Power. However, he was indeed manipulating that Heart Demon Curse Power, sensing that Heart Demon Curse Power.

"Is this the mystery of the Primordial Spirit..."

Wang Qi suddenly had a strange thought.

The Primordial Spirit's Magical Domain is the extension of the Primordial Spirit. It expands one's internal cycle to the outside world, or alternatively, incorporates the external world into one's internal cycle.

The key to achieving this is the method of interaction between the Primordial Spirit and the outside world.

The Primordial Spirit is a special solution of heaven and earth, born according to the laws. The method of interaction between the Primordial Spirit and the outside world is also a product under these laws.

It can be said that the Primordial Spirit relies on physical laws to connect with this material world.

How similar is this state to Wang Qi's current behavior?

Wang Qi is currently relying on protocol algorithms to interact with the Heart Demon Mysterious Net.

Although this "external" is not the "outer heaven," what isn't a part of the "outer heaven" for an individual?

The foundation of protocol algorithms is mathematical laws, meaning that Wang Qi is relying on mathematical laws to interact with a part of the outer heaven, communicating with a virtual world.

Relying on physical laws... relying on mathematical laws...

Connecting with the material world... connecting with the data world...

"Ordinary people, in the present world, use a method based on physical laws to exchange with nature's spiritual energy and transform themselves into an open system. Could this be seen as a kind of 'protocol algorithm' based on physical rules..."

"And mathematics can be seen as the inherent logic of physical laws."

"Everything in mathematics is an objectively existing law in this world. Humanity has always only 'discovered' mathematical laws, never created mathematics."

"And the data systems, virtual worlds, can also be seen as a low-fidelity, imitated version of the world created by humans based on the inherently logical mathematical laws..."

"Then, the virtual Primordial Spirit..."

"The virtual Primordial Spirit..."

"A Primordial Spirit that can only manifest power within an artificial system..."

"Can such a Primordial Spirit also become a path?"

"If possible, then the future of Modern Cultivation Method, the future of Dataized Cultivation Method..."

"Could it be that the virtual form Primordial Spirit in the Virtual and Real Two-Phase Chapter is merely an advanced AI, capable of assisting ordinary cultivators in directing mana?"

"Then what about my own virtual form Primordial Spirit in the Two-Phase Transcendence Chapter? Does it have the function of the celestial net?"

--- What is a Cultivation Technique, after all?

Wang Qi's thoughts gradually diverged.

"No, no, if I could cultivate some divine skills with quantum entanglement properties or features similar to Cultivation Technique characteristics... could I cultivate myself into a super-Turing machine?"

A super-Turing machine is a powerful computing machine capable of bypassing Godel's Incompleteness Theorem. It sounds similar to an oracle machine, but the oracle machine is merely hypothetical, whereas a super-Turing machine can be truly constructed.

However, Wang Qi ultimately shook his head.

It is better not to think about such delusions for the time being. Even if this world's causal laws are not unbreakable, and even if there are many things in this universe that can be defied, the gap between finite and infinite is real and substantial.

A super-Turing machine is something that has already entered the realm of infinity. Once it appears, no known mathematical problems within our scope would be able to stump humanity.

Even if Wang Qi could currently make use of the "Technology Black Box" characteristics of this universe to prematurely fulfill the material conditions required for a "super-Turing machine," his thinking, as still human, could not handle it.

He still withdrew from his delusions and returned to concrete questions.

What, after all, is a Cultivation Technique?

From a systems theoretical perspective, is it an agreement for interaction with heaven, with nature, with the cosmos?

Is this the agreement summarized within physical rules to interact with nature?

Zhen Chan always found Wang Qi's struggles somewhat unbelievable: "When I broke from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, I wasn't as conflicted as you..."

Wang Qi shook his head: "You cultivated an already mature established method, while I am pioneering a new cultivation path—not just a new cultivation path, but one for a new era! Naturally, my attitude is different..."

Wang Qi had just rebutted half a sentence, then shifted his tone: "Besides, have you noticed that there's actually an ingenuity within the Nascent Soul Skill, as it serves as an advancement method, it might even be more mature than the Primordial Spirit Skill?"

Zhen Chan felt Wang Qi must be going crazy again: "You guy, haven't you always looked down on Ancient Method? Why are you suddenly praising the Nascent Soul Skill now?"

"Have you noticed that us locally born people of Shenzhou, we only completed the creation of Qi Cultivation Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation methods? The mature Core Formation Method and later cultivation methods from Nascent Soul Stage to Mahayana Realm all appeared after 'Immortal Transmissions.' In other words, the Nascent Soul Skill is actually a product of an even more ancient civilization. With the Dragon Clan's current cultivation methods being so powerful, the 'Demon Emperor' who passed down this method could not ignore it, persisting in the Ancient Method and the path of the Undying Beast."

"Long ago, similar rumors were already present within the Immortal Alliance, they just weren't popular. However... with many experiences on Spirit Phoenix Island recently, combined with much information gathered before, I lately have new thoughts again."
