Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1065 - 148: Undersea Deal

Xu Xueqing originally did not expect Wang Qi to answer her questions honestly. Wang Qi's answer surprised her somewhat.

Over the past few days, she had also learned a bit about Wang Qi's character. Overall, this person was very unlikable. His personality was erratic and violent, and even in serious situations, he often lacked seriousness, always giving people the impression that he lacked respect for both his opponents and life.

Additionally, this person was mysterious and secretive, always speaking in a cryptic manner, which was also very unlikable. But on the other hand, most of what he said was true, which meant he had a certain bottom line.

So, Xu Xueqing believed him.

"Mahayana Realm..." Hearing this term, Xu Xueqing felt a little uncomfortable.

Just a few hundred years ago — this time is still quite short for a Body Integration Stage Cultivator — Mahayana Cultivator was still her highest pursuit and dream, but in just a few hundred years, could such a level of cultivator be at the mercy of a Core Formation Cultivator?

She shook her head: "Daoist Fellow Wang, if you really had the means to subdue Mahayana Realm cultivators with such a sinister spell, why would you come to me for help in plotting against one or two Unification Stage cultivators?"

She wasn't doubting; she was just a bit puzzled.

"Generally, I indeed have no way to suppress a Mahayana Realm cultivator... No, not even suppress. If it weren't for the violent way of directly implanting the Divine Plague Curse Technique into the opponent's soul, I wouldn't be able to subdue even a Unification Stage cultivator. But why should I clash head-on with the powerful life level of high-order cultivators?"

What Wang Qi referred to was Feng Luoyi using the Mystic Net to control the Heart Demon Curse Power over an entire city in the Divine Capital, relying on his Carefree Stage cultivation to implant the Divine Plague Curse Technique into that immortal's soul.

Wang Qi's strength was still too weak. If he used the same method as Feng Luoyi, the Divine Plague Curse Technique would be washed away by the opponent's powerful mana before it even entered their body.

However, there are more ways to overcome barriers than simply "breaking through" or "smashing through." If one wants to "take a shortcut" or "find a way around," Wang Qi had plenty of strategies.

For example, the cultivation technique that Wang Qi sent out.

With Zhen Chan's help, he left numerous hidden traps at the critical points of the Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture. These traps were mostly concentrated in the foundational parts of the Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture, things that anyone practicing this part of the cultivation technique would inevitably practice. Even if someone who obtained the cultivation technique only used it as a reference, they would still somewhat involve this part.

If that cultivator really only referenced a small part, perfectly avoiding all the trap doors, then Wang Qi would have to accept his bad luck — encountering something with a probability even smaller than winning a mega jackpot, what else could he do but say it's fate?

However, fortunately, the cultivator known as "Qiushui Daoist" practiced this cultivation technique very rigidly, almost adhering strictly to the text, with only a few key positions different from the cultivation technique Wang Qi passed down. The defensive essence formed by his essence of life was like a nonexistence to Wang Qi.

"It seems that perhaps the Holy Emperor Venerable made some changes, but in this area, I'm not an expert. I'll need to reverse-study Qiushui Daoist's cultivation method before I can confirm it with others..." Wang Qi was explaining what he just did, but he noticed Xu Xueqing seemed somewhat uneasy for some reason. He asked, "What's wrong? Elder Xu, you don't look well."

Xu Xueqing had been feeling chills listening to him. After Wang Qi asked, she forced a smile and said, "Daoist Fellow Wang, don't you think your actions are actually... the same as the Holy Emperor Venerable's, according to your statement."

Wang Qi was incensed, "In this area, I'm much more professional than that amateur!"

"Perhaps?" Wang Qi expressed complete indifference, "At least my goals are entirely different from the Holy Emperor Venerable's."

Xu Xueqing could only sigh.

Wang Qi said, "By the way, where was I just now?"

"The powerful functions of multiple calculators working together, and the essence of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm," Xu Xueqin said.

What they needed to do now was, astonishingly, "attend class." Wang Qi spoke, and Xu Xueqing listened.

Xu Xueqing's requirement was to "let her know the power of the Divine Plague Curse Technique and the Heart Demon Mysterious Net" and "let her understand her trump card in defeating the Holy Emperor Venerable." Wang Qi understood this sentiment very well. This shadow hiding for hundreds of years hadn't fully trusted Wang Qi, at least not his strength, and she didn't want to be led by Wang Qi into a battle she wasn't confident in.

So, no matter how fancifully Wang Qi described it, it probably wouldn't move Xu Xueqing much.

On the other hand, Wang Qi also had no means to manifest the Heart Demon Mysterious Net unless he wanted to fight the Holy Emperor Venerable right now.

The best solution Wang Qi could think of was "learning."

He planned to let Xu Xueqing slightly touch the "technological forefront" of the Immortal Alliance.

In this aspect, Wang Qi was indeed an absolute expert. To convince Gou Dabao, that Banished Immortal, he specially wrote a set of popular science books, which received quite a good response. Therefore, his conversation with Xu Xueqing proceeded smoothly.

And after this negotiation, Xu Xueqing finally marveled at Wang Qi as if he were a heavenly person.

Her path in medicine already had some empirical thinking, so she joined the Immortal Alliance hundreds of years ago — although the main reason was still that the Immortal Alliance was more powerful. However, she has been trying to transition to the Modern path for hundreds of years, yet has never found a route to advance.

And yet, Wang Qi's words gave her many new insights.

Although he spoke about mathematics, everyone knew that mathematics is the foundation of the Modern Law.

Just like words to poetry. While the meaning of a poem far exceeds the literal words, without words, the poem would not exist.

Wang Qi's various concepts about "zero and one", about "addition and subtraction", about "sets", about "logic", gave her a sense of "so that's how it is".

Seeing Xu Xueqing deep in thought, Wang Qi stopped his lecture.

His belief is still the same; these conceptual things can only help Xu Xueqing understand some things. To truly cultivate a mathematician's mind, one must practice by solving problems, and to cultivate a scientist's rigor, one must conduct experiments.

But now, he was just temporarily guiding Xu Xueqing through the door, then letting her quickly learn to understand the "Divine Plague Curse Technique".

After a moment, Xu Xueqing nodded, then said, "It's a pity that what I've learned is ultimately related to the Life Path, whereas your mathematics..."

"Without mastering mathematics, one can't delve deep into any Dao. Even for the applied Life Path, one must excel in statistics and probability." Wang Qi looked at Xu Xueqing and said, "Moreover, haven't I told you? I have received the Dao Seed Award. Speaking of the Life Path, I'm also quite adept."

Xu Xueqing's eyes lit up: "Daoist Fellow Wang, why don't you talk about this aspect then!"

Wang Qi shook his head, delivering a phrase that sent her back: "My Life Path is also related to mathematics. Without proficiency in mathematics, you cannot learn it."

To discuss this aspect is also a profound topic; to explain it well, time does not allow.

Wang Qi planned to use two to three days to reinforce Xu Xueqing's knowledge of logic, consciousness, Yin Yang transformations, and the soul, and then slightly "demonstrate" the various marvelous uses of the Heart Demon Curse.

At this moment, far across the sea of Spirit Phoenix Island, thousands of miles away, one of the Holy Emperor Venerable's confidants, his "disciple" Ye Xiong was slowly descending into the deep sea.

The seawater's transparency was not low, but when the depth reached a thousand meters, there was no "light" to speak of. The closer to the seabed, the colder it got, and the greater the water pressure became. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

However, for Ye Xiong, a Divine Separation Stage cultivator, even the pressure of the ten-thousand-meter-deep sea was considered trivial, and the cold had no effect.

For him, the most terrifying aspect of this water area was not the extreme environment, but the faintly discernible "aura" within it.

"That" terrifying creature seemed to exist in every drop of the sea.

When he saw a spiral structure on the seabed with a dreamlike quality, a voice entered his mind directly: "Alright, youngster, stop there. This time, did the Holy Emperor Venerable send you?"

Startled, Ye Xiong quickly bowed and said: "Greetings, Dragon King. Indeed, my master sent me to deliver today's 'goods'."

He respectfully presented a small jar. Unlike the outside, this seemingly ordinary sugar jar-like magic artifact contained a sizeable space inside, where some non-cultivators were frantically using spells to attack the barriers, while some cultivators sat in meditation, waiting for an opportunity.

A flash of red light, and a demonic energy comprised of essence snatched away this artifact.

"The quality of this batch is quite good." The voice seemed satisfied: "Alright, you may leave now."

Ye Xiong hurriedly said: "Master also asked me to deliver two messages to you."

"Since when did the Holy Emperor Venerable become so long-winded?" The mysterious voice did not refuse.

Ye Xiong said: "Master said that recently, strange occurrences have been continuous on Spirit Phoenix Island, and the 'goods' may not be very clean, so all subsequent transactions are 'postponed'. However, this postponement is not indefinite. In four months, Master will host the Qionghua Meeting for the Dragon King, selecting the most outstanding talents of Spirit Phoenix Island. At that time, I invite the Dragon King to attend."

"Dragon King" snorted coldly: "I only want people."

Ye Xiong continued: "Additionally, Master also said that then he plans to uncover the Secret of Immortal Ascension and transcend the Immortal Ascension Tribulation. However, recently the mysterious great enemy on Spirit Phoenix Island has become increasingly rampant, so I request the Dragon King's 'aid' at that time."

"Aid?" The "Dragon King" knew very well that for a Banished Immortal, the so-called "Secret of Immortal Ascension" and "Immortal Ascension Tribulation" were trivial matters. Although the Holy Emperor Venerable was rustic, he wasn't that incompetent. Which means...

"The enmity from last year, the Holy Emperor Venerable hasn't resolved it even this year?" The Dragon King chuckled: "Interesting. A being that's not of the Heterodox can force him into a desperate situation without even showing itself? Interesting. Maybe then, I'll have to take a look."
