Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1021 - 105: Departure

After putting away the Jade Slip from Ru Tianqi, he slightly bowed and said, "I'll leave for now. You, Luochen Sword Palace, should focus on alchemy and artifact refining, and 'nurture talents' properly. When things here are settled, you will each be rewarded. Understand?"

Ru Tianqi was a bit angry, "What about those things inside our bodies?"

Wang Qi had once told the three Great Elders about Guan Wuji's fate, so the three Great Elders understood that the things the Holy Emperor Venerable planted inside them were no good and hard to deal with—carelessness could even lead to death.

Although Wang Qi's expression was respectful, he was impatient in words, "What, you want to try Guan Wuji's method too? Didn't I already tell you?

Snatching control of the parasitic gods inside you now will immediately attract the attention of the Holy Emperor Venerable. Guan Wuji, a Half-step Mahayana who was strengthened, was casually killed by the Holy Emperor Venerable. Are you in a hurry to die, or what?"

Seeing Ru Tianqi still had doubts, Wang Qi was impatient, "I've said, as long as you work diligently, I won't take your life."

Ru Tianqi's expression relaxed, and he tossed a token to Wang Qi, "This token has very high authorization; you just need to pretend to go out to sea with it."

Wang Qi nodded, "Same advice, focus on alchemy and artifact refining in the future; the Reincarnation Realm and System are depending on your alchemists. Also… if strange rumors later attract the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao…" He pulled out several pieces of jade while speaking, "You should hand this over, understood?"

Ru Tianqi was shocked and felt tense inside, "What are you trying to do?"

If Wang Qi's Modern Cultivator identity was exposed, the Holy Emperor Venerable would definitely destroy Luochen Sword Palace!

Wang Qi waved his hand, "Don't worry, it won't be some particularly absurd rumor." "In any case, just finish this task!"

After grabbing the token, Wang Qi turned and left. In terms of the Luochen Sword Palace—the base he managed for a long time—he truly decided to abandon it.

Ru Tianqi only realized the little ancestor had really gone after quite a while. Then, he gazed at the ceiling with a stiff expression and lightly cursed, "Damn…"

—This guy walked away, taking how much wealth, how many Elixirs, and how many Magic Artifacts from Luochen Sword Palace?

—And it isn't just for him; most of it ended up being used to reward ordinary cultivators!

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

Walking down the street, Wang Qi appeared no different from ordinary people. However, an invisible force had already surrounded him.

This force, transformed from Heart Demon Curse Power, was the "Virtual Divine Country," Wang Qi's own "Cyber Space."

Now, the Heart Demon Curse Power was spreading through Spirit Phoenix Island's Underground City. As a cultivator's cultivation level rises, causality lessens, and social connections weaken, making the spread of the Heart Demon Great Curse more challenging. Additionally, the Human Dao System on Spirit Phoenix Island has been entirely alienated by the Holy Emperor Venerable, requiring the Heart Demon Great Curse to avoid numerous critical points. Therefore, the powerful spreading capability of the Supreme Heart Demon Curse is greatly restricted here.

However, this was near the area of the Luochen Sword Palace—the place where Wang Qi was active—which is why the Heart Demon Curse Power is still quite concentrated in this area.

Within the thread of mana Wang Qi deliberately "leaked," there were various instructions comprehensible to the Heart Demon Great Curse. Following these instructions, the Heart Demon Curse Power gathered toward Wang Qi, naturally evolving into a Virtual Divine Country.

This was one reason Wang Qi dared to speak with Ru Tianqi like that, without the premise of the Tai Chu Sword God Array's protection.

The essence of Wang Qi's Unity of My Method, combined with the Heart Demon Curse Power's soul-like, all-contaminating traits, formed the strongest defense against Divine Tao methods. Even ordinary Unification Stage Cultivators don't have strategies at this level.

This is Wang Qi's reliance on leaving the Tai Chu Sword God Array's coverage from the Luochen Sword Palace. Currently, he can construct a Virtual Divine Country covering only a single person's range.

Walking as he thought, Wang Qi mulled over.

"Ultimately, the 'Seven Chapter Secret Sutra of the Mysterious Lord'—a purely Virtual Form Cultivation—can also be viewed as an essential direction of dataized cultivation methods. The difference is that it operates on a program within a special rule-based Cellular Automata."

"This Cellular Automata can be equivalent to a Turing machine. Using special protocols, it can also accomplish interactions with calculators and Heart Network."

"Moreover, the 'Seven Chapter Secret Sutra of the Mysterious Lord' can coexist with any other cultivation methods."

"I should be able to organize the technical data here and then have the Immortal Alliance arrange to produce a version devoid of 'malice' and 'dark humor'…"

While thinking, Wang Qi's own cultivation method unknowingly leaned towards the 'Seven Chapter Secret Sutra of the Mysterious Lord.' The instructions carried by his mana gradually changed, steadily controlling the Heart Demon Mystic Net's power.

Now, the significance of the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body to Wang Qi is also diminishing. The Memory Body's role in the Heart Demon Mystic Net is of zero-level authority, but with Wang Qi being the only official user within the entire Heart Network, this authority doesn't make much difference.

However, without the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body, Wang Qi would never directly touch the Heart Demon Curse Power. Even if he knew methods to refine the Heart Demon Curse Power, it's impractical. The Heart Demon Curse Power is extremely mysterious, direct contact would only spell trouble.

Thus, at the current stage, for Wang Qi, the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body's main role remains as an "output device" or "monitor."

Without the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body, Wang Qi wouldn't be able to perceive the information within the Heart Demon Mystic Net.

However, even though he couldn't perceive the power of the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, it didn't prevent Wang Qi from issuing commands to it.

While pondering, Wang Qi walked out of Spirit Phoenix Island's underground city. Then, he drew out a Heart Demon Great Curse Memory, gently waved it, and a surge of Heart Demon Curse Power descended, interfacing with the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory. Then, the Virtual Divine Country around Wang Qi evolved once again, soon reaching the highest level of concealment effect. After that, Wang Qi acted as if he was sailing out to sea, making a circle near the coast. On the sea's surface, he continuously altered his mana aura and even slightly adjusted his facial appearance.

Then, he entered Spirit Phoenix Island once more.

"Now, no one will notice me..." Wang Qi murmured softly, having liberated most of his own power.

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

The Holy Emperor Venerable constantly felt a shadow pressing down on his heart lately. He originally thought this was due to an anomaly in his Divine Country.

Currently, his refinement of the Divine Country was not fully complete. The "Divine Country" was still an "outer object" to him, and when he operated the Divine Country, there was always a slight discord. Additionally, at this stage, the "Divine Country" was also easily influenced by external events, not particularly stable.

The Holy Emperor Venerable's refinement had reached its most critical moment. At this stage, an enemy skilled in the Divine Tao could potentially strike him through the power of the Divine Country.

However, the Holy Emperor Venerable ultimately found nothing unusual within his Divine Country.

"Perhaps I'm truly imagining things, or perhaps the other side is really so skilled in the Divine Tao that they made moves I can't detect." With this thought, the Holy Emperor Venerable had been on high alert recently. However, unexpected events still continuously occurred.

First, that mysterious external enemy, ever watchful.

Then, Guan Wuji unexpectedly backed into a corner and somehow acquired a bizarre cultivation method, shouting "Pseudo Emperor Heavenly Punishment," unsettling the hearts of those on Spirit Phoenix Island.

Lastly, at the Luochen Sword Palace exchange meeting, mysterious deaths of low-level cultivators occurred.

He glanced at the Unification Stage Cultivator sent to investigate and then at the sample corpse brought back by that cultivator, speaking in a detached tone: "Guanhong, what do you mean by this?"

Tao Guanhong—the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao Magic Cultivator—had a bead of sweat appear on his forehead. He knelt and said, "Reporting to the Emperor Venerable, these bodies, I really can't discern the cause..."

"Useless." The Holy Emperor Venerable shook his head and stepped down. Tao Guanhong introduced: "Most of these cultivators died from kill moves derived from their sect's cultivation method, or from divine skills they themselves cultivated..."

The Holy Emperor Venerable waved his hand, not allowing him to continue.

Techniques indecipherable to even Divine Separation Stage and Unification Stage are either heterodox or from a Banished Immortal. At worst, it's the peak power of this mortal world.

The one with this power is most likely that mysterious "enemy," right?

But why specifically target a group of low-level cultivators?

These low-level cultivators weren't even part of his plans.

The Holy Emperor Venerable gazed at the corpses, slightly perplexed. He placed his hand on one, his Immortal-level Spiritual Sense flooding out to envelop the body.

After examining one, he moved to the next.

The Holy Emperor Venerable's expression grew solemn: "Send all the bodies outside the Jinshen Hall!"

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

Wu Qi suddenly felt everything before him cast into heavy shadows. Then, with a flash of white light, Wu Qi entered the Reincarnation Realm for the third time.

It was still the same teammates from last time. Everyone exchanged greetings. They were now like grasshoppers tied on the same string; no matter how much they disliked each other, they had to get along. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Understanding that benefiting oneself doesn't necessarily harm others, was something quite a few people grasped.

Seeing that the team had now established a certain level of trust, Wu Qi pondered for a moment and said to everyone, "Fellow Daoists, during the time exchange for cultivation last time, I gained tremendous benefits..."

Xiao Jizong laughed twice: "I heard about it. You recently defeated Song Zhongqiao, right?"

The Thunder Night Sect had a good relationship with Luochen Sword Palace, so it's not surprising Xiao Jizong knew about this.

Wu Qi nodded, recounting his previous experience, evoking gasps of amazement from everyone. Fan Zhongxing exclaimed, "So the instance world offers such benefits..."

At this point, Wu Qi shifted the topic, saying: "In the last task, I received assistance from the Yellow Robed King and discovered a lead on a treasure. After this task is over, I hope everyone can help me obtain this treasure. Furthermore, this treasure can be shared among us in the future..."
