Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1022 - 106: The Prototype of a Certain Mall

Wang Qi couldn't determine the exact number of reincarnators currently on Spirit Phoenix Island. The reincarnators on the island now are not only those he initially pulled in from Luochen Sword Palace.

The number of reincarnators is not constant. Broadly speaking, the mechanism that draws those Ancient Method Practitioners into the "Reincarnation Space" is a special kind of "virus." Its function is to form a spontaneous divine skill within the human body. This divine skill is not achieved through a single divine power talisman or by altering the physical body, but through the connection between multiple Tianying Acupoints and several scattered divine power talismans.

In a broader sense, this "mechanism" is also a kind of Divine Plague Curse. As long as it includes the capability of self-replication, it can spread.

While strictly speaking, the "reincarnation system" has mostly evolved beyond the realm of destructive Divine Plague Curse Techniques, nearing the path rank of calculator systems, it is still a "Divine Plague Curse Technique."

—Well, defining it this way does seem somewhat strange, but in this field, "viruses" did indeed come into being earlier than the "main system."

The Tianying Acupoint is an Indeterminate Acupoint, varying from person to person, time to time, and situation to situation. Each person's ability to refine the Tianying Acupoint is different. However, Wang Qi relied on a millennium of exploration by Modern Cultivators into the human body to devise a mature mechanism that allows a low-level cultivator to unwittingly open roughly similar Tianying Acupoints. Likewise, he can insert a few new, small divine power talismans among their original group of divine power talismans.

This discrete structure greatly violates the common principles of Ancient Method spells, so ordinary Ancient Method Practitioners are unable to detect it.

However, to the Holy Emperor Venerable, such means cannot be said to leave no trace. Therefore, Wang Qi does not currently plan to make a move against the Holy Emperor Venerable.

That is to say, the number of reincarnators is actually a continuously increasing figure.

At any time, one or two reincarnators might be added.

Of course, the reincarnators are not completely without loss.

Although Wang Qi himself needs more reincarnators to ensure his victory over the Holy Emperor Venerable in the final contest, the reincarnators are not without loss. This would make it seem unrealistic.

When a reincarnator does something beyond Wang Qi's psychological threshold in the Reincarnation Space, Wang Qi will increase the difficulty of that or the next task.

Even though this "Reincarnation World" is merely a virtual "cyber space," those reincarnators treat it as a real and tangible existence. Therefore, Wang Qi considers any actions they take in the Reincarnation World to be real actions.

This, in another aspect, makes the Reincarnation Space appear more "real."

Then…

"It's time to deliver things again…" Wang Qi shook his head slightly, regretting the "exchange" mechanism he devised back then.

He had pulled people from various sects into the Reincarnation World. These people are dispersed across seven or eight sects. If they exchanged for elixirs and did not consume them in the Reincarnation Space, Wang Qi would have to make up for it again.

Additionally, Wang Qi personally had to retrieve the equipment damaged and elixirs consumed by these disciples in the Reincarnation Space.

If a disciple exchanged for an elixir before returning, and then consumed it at the last moment before returning, that would be truly troublesome. Wang Qi would have to retrieve the elixir he had just sent out.

If the numbers didn't match up, there was a chance of being exposed.

"Hmm, as for that part of Luochen Sword Palace, let their own elders handle it…" Wang Qi mumbled as he concentrated Heart Demon Curse Power, constructing an illusion layer around himself, and instead of using Escape Light, he nimbly sneaked into the Ruyi Daoist School.

The highest combat power of the Ruyi Daoist School is an elder who has been alive since ancient times, at the perfection stage of the Divine Separation. A lifespan of ten thousand years is a great pressure on someone at the Divine Separation Stage. The old man has already shown signs of decline and is on his last legs, even the spiritual sense that monitors the sect isn't that smooth and free.

Wang Qi tiptoed to the side of Fan Zhongxing's house, manipulated his mana, and activated his storage bag—this was a technique gained from "System Flow" experiments, all those subjected to Wang Qi's Law are inevitably under Wang Qi's control.

Then, Wang Qi retrieved the records of the Reincarnation Realm from Jarvis and took out a small porcelain bottle from Fan Zhongxing's storage bag, taking three Blood Creation Pills, as well as a dose of poison used for weapon refining, pouring a drop onto his weapon, then burning it with True Fire, and using the ability of Heavenly Song to manipulate chemical bonds to slightly damage the weapon, making it look like it was damaged in combat.

"Slightly damaged... you really shouldn't ask the 'Reincarnation Realm Master' to fix it..."

Wang Qi sighed, and repeating the process, opened the storage bags of other slumbering cultivators near Fan Zhongxing's cave mansion—they were all infected by Fan Zhongxing to become reincarnators.

"The next stop is Wuji Sky Sect... there are still three Divine Separation Stage ones, and they're all in the prime of life, so I need to be a little careful." Wang Qi lamented that he truly had a busy life as he headed towards Wuji Sky Sect.

Of course, he wasn't too afraid of the Divine Separation Stage powerhouses. The anti-detection illusion layer formed by Heart Demon Curse Power isn't something a Divine Separation Stage cultivator can easily detect. The Supreme Heart Demon Curse differs from ordinary Heart Demon Curse Power, without color and form, making it most suitable for concealment.

Lucky for him, he was cautious back then and didn't let Mei Sicheng find disciples from those sects with Body Integration Realm old monsters. Otherwise, playing Assassin's Creed in front of Body Integration Realm old monsters would be truly dangerous.

After Wuji Sky Sect, it's Unrivaled Sword Sect, and after Unrivaled Sword Sect, there's Heart Demon Illusion Sect, and after Heart Demon Illusion Sect, there's Divine Flame Industry Lotus Sect…

According to the "shortest distance" calculated by Jarvis, Wang Qi has to parkour halfway around the Underground City of Spirit Phoenix Island.

This is also the reason why he deliberately staggered the different "instances" to control the psychological flow of time and the order in which those disciples wake up.

Only after the instance ends and those people complete the "exchange" can Wang Qi adjust the quantity of "equipment" and "potions".

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

As the third reincarnation instance was about to conclude, in the underground palace of Luochen Sword Palace, those alchemists and artifact refiners started hearing notification sounds constantly in their ears.

"Ding! You have a new order!"

"Nine Extremes Sect, Huangyan, orders, a Flowing Flood Sword..."

"Ding! You have a new order!"

"Wuji Sky Sect, Lv Mengshan, orders, five Bone Strengthening Divine Soul Pills!"

This is also the effect of Wang Qi's Divine Plague Curse Technique.

Among the sounds of lamentation, these people began a new round of artifact refining and alchemy.

The purpose of their existence is to replenish the stock Wang Qi sent out. However much Wang Qi sends out, they have to refine that much. Before the next ten days begin, Wang Qi will come back to collect these items.

Amidst the sounds of lamentation, these usually very noble alchemists and artifact refiners, helplessly started doing menial labor.

.....................…

In Reincarnation Square, Fan Zhongxing looked at the sword in his hand, feeling a bit conflicted.

"This slight damage involves only the material, but does not harm the spirituality. Should I repair it?"

"It's merely a common heavy artifact and just costs a few hundred reincarnation points." Xiao Jizong laughed and said, "Why, Old Fan, are you reluctant to part with it?"

Wu Qi asked, "Do you need to replenish your poison?"

"Poison... Although it was barely with poison that I managed to kill those alien insects this time, I think in the reincarnation world, the probability of encountering the beast herd species won't be very high..." Fan Zhongxing said while contemplating the concepts he learned from the Reincarnation Realm Master: "I want to exchange for the notes of a heterodox genius, the stuff in there is very interesting. Also, we need to leave reincarnation points for exchanging time for cultivation, and for accompanying Wu Qi to the dimension where the Luoyan City Copy is located to find the Nameless Strange Stele and Yellow Document, our points are going to be tight..."

The "Nameless Strange Stele" and "Yellow Document" were merely ramblings Wang Qi made up. He wanted to enhance the cultivation progress of Wu Qi, a cultivator of the Seven Mystical Chapters, and deliberately used the hand of the Yellow Robed King to point out some benefits while naming it as a "linked task".

Wu Qi, hearing this, was excited and quickly said, "I will live up to expectations!"

"So, I am not reluctant about the points, the key is that my cultivation techniques require time to comprehend..." Fan Zhongxing said, "I am currently dabbling in heterodox cultivation and find these methods somewhat interesting. In this piece of heaven and earth, there's some truth to heterodox overpowering righteous skills."

Fan Zhongxing's words would definitely be considered treasonous on Spirit Phoenix Island. However, everyone here had experienced the "Silver-Winged Assassin" reincarnation instance and knew the Reincarnation Realm Master's attitude towards Modern Heretics. Moreover, the Reincarnation Realm Master's exchange also includes Modern Heretics, so here, they have no scruples.

Lu Longcheng found it strange: "Heterodox genius?"

"In our world... in the eyes of the Reincarnation Realm Master, our world's evaluation seems pretty high, nearly next to the Immortal Realm." Fan Zhongxing said, "There is a heterodox Golden Core named Wang Qi... I have heard of this name before, indeed, he is a genius figure who has risen in recent years. He wrote a note discussing various mental realms and mystical thoughts within heterodoxy..."

"To even have the notes of a person from our world exchanged..." Lu Longcheng pondered, "Doesn't that mean treasure maps or an array diagram from a certain sect, or the notes of Holy Emperor Venerable, could also be exchanged?"

Fan Zhongxing shook his head: "It's not that easy. The notes of Holy Emperor Venerable are indeed available but extremely expensive. And then, things like treasure maps involve heavy causality and can't be exchanged."

—— Things that Wang Qi himself doesn't have are naturally either priced exorbitantly high or cannot be exchanged.

Fan Zhongxing continued to struggle over whether exchanging for notes and time would be better, or repairing magic artifacts and replenishing poisons would be wise.

At this moment, the solemn and grand voice of the Reincarnation Realm Master rang out once more.

"Through three experiences, you have deeply entered reincarnation. The next task is a death task, please be prepared."

Meanwhile, several different reincarnation teams also heard the same voice from Zhen Chan.

"The death task is very special, thus, intelligence will be provided for this task."
