Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1041 - 124: Second Round Enhancement Plan

Only after Wang Qi thoroughly concealed himself did the Ancient Method Immortal Sect truly realize what had occurred "on that day".

Zhen Ru Daoist "selflessly faced death." Zheng Wentai was inexplicably sabotaged, and the Holy Emperor Venerable raised his hand to kill—massacring fifty thousand cultivators.

All of this happened mysteriously, deeply unsettling the minds of those Ancient Method Practitioners.

Furthermore, Spirit Phoenix Island was not a united front. Individuals like Mei Sicheng and Xinling Daoist, among others, were intentionally suppressed by the Holy Emperor Venerable, hesitating to break through to the Body Integration Realm, and had long harbored distrust for the one who was "single-handedly supporting the collapsing mountain." This feeling was also why Wang Qi had little trouble turning Mei Sicheng and the others against the Holy Emperor Venerable.

Now, this distrust had erupted entirely. Under the manipulation of certain "interested parties," various rumors were quietly spreading.

Amidst the turmoil of hearts, the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao could only deploy numerous disciples to maintain stability.

This only intensified everyone's suspicion towards the Holy Emperor Venerable.

If Zheng Wentai were still alive and cultivating through the Qi Observation Technique, he would be surprised to find that the golden destiny, which had illuminated Spirit Phoenix Island for over a thousand years and seemed indestructible, had disappeared. Threads of gray had mixed in.

This is why the Holy Emperor Venerable felt uneasy these past days. He was somewhat regretting his immediate decision to kill.

He could already refine the mysterious spell of the Outer Demon, so why kill?

Perhaps directly bringing down the Divine Country would have been the best choice?

Even if that would further expose his Divine Country. But hasn't the Divine Country Technique been exposed more than once already?

Days earlier, when foreign evils invaded, he single-handedly slaughtered over fifty thousand cultivators, most of whom were at Golden Core Perfection or Early-Stage Nascent Soul. Among these cultivators, a significant portion were individuals he had deliberately arranged as "adventurers." The existence of these adventurers was not merely to reconstruct the Ancient Practitioners' impression of ancient concepts, to evoke those "concepts" corresponding to power in the Human Dao. Those "adventure cultivation methods" he modified were the foundation of the Divine Country Technique.

This caused a temporary collapse of his Divine Country.

The instability of people's hearts accelerated this process.

In these few days, he temporarily lost the ability to monitor Spirit Phoenix Island. Nor could he invisibly affect the minds of all cultivators on Spirit Phoenix Island.

However, this is not beyond remedy.

Only outdated and primitive Divine Tao Skills would be led by the nose by the entire Human Dao. Truly profound Human Dao Techniques can forcibly shape Human Dao Power and, in turn, influence the minds of all mortal beings.

Regardless of whether the Human Dao aspect of a land belongs to a prosperous age or chaotic times, Human Dao Power is Human Dao Power; reasonable refining is all that's necessary. Techniques that can only establish the Dao in prosperous times or only in chaotic times are second-rate goods.

The Holy Emperor Venerable only needs a few days to complete a new round of adjustments.

However, during these few days, the Holy Emperor Venerable was in a very foul mood.

If he hadn't obtained the Chaos Daluo Heaven Scripture, perhaps his mood would be even worse.

Yet, the Holy Emperor Venerable wasn't foolish enough to cultivate such a mysteriously originating and coincidentally styled cultivation method. Despite his strong desire for this method, he would never risk his future to personally cultivate it.

He had a better way.

"Have you considered it?" The Divine Emperor Venerable looked at the cultivator opposite him, speaking in a flat tone, as if rewarding a trivial thing to a servant: "You cripple your foundation, then completely cultivate this Chaos Daluo Heaven Scripture, and I shall grant you an opportunity to achieve the Mahayana Realm."

The cultivator was also at the Body Integration Realm. For high-order cultivators, changing core cultivation methods is impossible. Their Nascent Souls are already fixed. If one cripples their foundation, splitting the Nascent Soul and completely destroying previous achievements might offer a chance to switch cultivation methods. But even then, it can only start from the Nascent Soul Stage, not revert to the beginning. Additionally, a broken Nascent Soul would lead to decreased potential and sharply reduced lifespan.

Because of changes like "Divine Separation Sense Transformation," this would also cause unpredictable impacts on the mind of the one who crippled their foundation.

Generally, no one would willingly choose to cripple their foundation.

However, the Body Integration Realm cultivator's throat unconsciously slid up and down once, then deeply bowed: "I am willing..."

The Holy Emperor Venerable smiled slightly.

For him, having someone else cultivate, then later refining the Human Dao himself, worked just as well.

At this moment, he remained unaware of the events happening outside.

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

After guiding those Ancient Golden Core Practitioners, Wang Qi once more sealed them and stowed them back into his waist-carry magical treasure storage. Watching these Ancient Method Practitioners alone, he also had to be cautious.

This doesn't mean that these Ancient Method Practitioners could counterattack if Wang Qi was careless. The gap between the sides was too vast. Just in terms of mana alone, Wang Qi could sustain his Protective Gang Qi and let the opponents attack, and these Ancient Method Practitioners would likely fail to break his defense. Even if they resorted to Gu Poison or plague-like means, they were definitely not Wang Qi's competition. When Wang Qi entered the Immortal Institute, he accepted the Thousand Plagues and Ten Thousand Poison Needle, gaining resistance to over eighty percent of poisons on this planet. Even in the unlikely event, the Life Flame ensured Wang Qi would never die.

However, once Wang Qi started thinking, he would become deeply engrossed. If by chance these people left some signal for the passing Qi Cultivation Stage miners to notice, that would be troubling.

One-on-one, he might not fear Divine Separation Stage Cultivators. But Spirit Phoenix Island still held Body Integration Realm Cultivators.

After dealing with those "experimental subjects," Wang Qi began his next task. His consciousness flowed through the ring in his hand into the newly constructed network.

Then, he saw the current form of the Power of Human Dao on Spirit Phoenix Island.

At this time, the Human Dao of Spirit Phoenix Island was no longer as he initially saw it, forcibly condensed into an iron board by the Holy Emperor Venerable. From his perspective, it seemed as if countless "roots" were piercing into this "iron board."

Those roots were naturally the "Heart Demon Mysterious Net" he constructed.

He precisely induced the Holy Emperor Venerable to destroy many "adventurers," many key nodes of the Divine Country Technique at the material layer. This slackened the Divine Country Technique all of a sudden. Wang Qi took advantage of this small gap to accelerate the spread of the Heart Demon Curse and the Divine Plague Curse Technique.

Even if the Holy Emperor Venerable reshaped the Divine Country, these roots would remain, like nails fixed inside the Divine Country of the Holy Emperor Venerable.

Moreover, this time, his method of dissemination was no longer limited to the Heart Demon Mysterious Net.

Due to the increase in the number of infected individuals, he had another method of dissemination. Those cultivators infected with the Divine Plague Curse Technique, under his invisible guidance, opened numerous Tianying Acupoints. These Tianying Acupoints functioned like radio network transceivers, disseminating the Divine Plague Curse Technique.

This was the method he initially used at Luochen Sword Palace.

Many of the cultivation techniques he modified had no problems in themselves and could not directly integrate into the Heart Demon Mysterious Net. The trap of these techniques lay here. Cultivators who practiced this type of cultivation technique easily resonated with these "infected" individuals, actively inputting the information disseminated by these "infected" individuals, and then autonomously constructing Virtual Form Techniques within their bodies.

This part of the technique could not be detected with traditional methods. Unless the person conducting the examination was also proficient in the dataized cultivation method that encompasses both reality and illusion.

Under the dual effect of the Heart Demon Curse spreading along the Human Dao System and the direct dissemination of the Divine Plague Curse Technique, a large number of Ancient Method Practitioners were transformed by Wang Qi into new units within the Human Dao System every day.

The Heart Demon Mysterious Net was constantly expanding.

Wang Qi manipulated this process and gradually immersed himself in it.

He was accumulating real-world cases.

At the same time, he also allocated part of his mind to writing a new paper.

"The Application of Set Theory in Multi-Objective Virtual Realm Optimization." This was the title of his new paper.

The direction of his current research was the various applications of set theory in calculator technology, the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, and Virtual Form Techniques.

He aimed to firmly combine existing theory with his own cultivation in Virtual Form Techniques.

Set theory, after "incompleteness" and "undecidability," was already destined to decline. The ongoing research and potential achievements were largely the last glimmers of its brilliance. However, for Wang Qi, the Li Sect could not die yet.

Inheriting part of the ideas of the Master of Calculation and with the emergence of new schools surpassing him, he needed to maintain the vitality of the Li Sect.

And the best way Wang Qi thought was to link it to the most popular application field.

For the Immortal Alliance, Human Dao techniques could possibly break the power of the "Eternal Class." Even if high-order cultivators would only develop in directions they were interested in, they would inevitably guide more low-level cultivators to venture into this field.

While writing the paper, Wang Qi constantly utilized the present Human Dao System to verify his various hypotheses.

He continuously adjusted the forces between various units within the Heart Demon Mysterious Net, building the Heart Demon Mysterious Net from different levels.

The "system" within this paper was also gradually taking shape.

No one knew how long had passed before Wang Qi suddenly put down his pen and sighed, "There's still not enough time."

"What's the matter?" Zhen Chan asked.

"The next step of the plan is also imminent," Wang Qi responded.

Zhen Chan laughed again, "Kid, you've only been on the Immortal Path for just over ten years until now."

"We are all seeking the same Dao together, so we progress faster and faster. In today's world, everyone would feel that there's not enough time." Wang Qi shook his head, put down the paper in his hand, and began organizing another set of materials.

Zhen Chan scanned through it with Spiritual Sense, curious, "This seems to be the material you've been using for lectures for those Ancient Method Practitioners in the past few days?"

"Preparatory teaching plans, teaching records, and a small portion of insights," Wang Qi replied.

"You, kid, although you have some tendency to teach others, you surely wouldn't be so kind to your enemies." Zhen Chan's tone carried a sense of excitement — he thought that the Holy Emperor Venerable and the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao were advancing another step towards failure. He asked, "What do you plan to do?"

"I'll have Teacher Feng gather a group of cultivators who research 'education' to help me educate another batch of cultivators," Wang Qi said. "These cultivators are just the first batch of experimental subjects. My focus is still on the upcoming part."

"The Ancient Method Practitioners of Spirit Phoenix Island are really too weak. I must strengthen them a bit."
