Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1087 - 170: The Truth Revealed

Yue Luo Liu Li was not originally part of the Immortal Alliance. Now, as a group of Grandmasters recruit the remnants of Ancient Method Practitioners, she couldn't show herself, and instead walked to Wang Qi's side: "You, guy, it's been so long, yet your head still has issues."

Wang Qi still kept his eyes closed, seeming too tired to even lift his eyelids.

"You clearly did a great deed, why do you insist on making yourself look like a vicious person?"

Before Wang Qi could answer, Mi appeared out of nowhere: "Actually, what you just heard is just a more pleasant version… oops!"

Yue Luo Liu Li picked Mi up and lifted her high playfully: "Ah, Sister Mi! You're also here!"

"Wait a second, my memories are still synchronizing between the two sides... we had a good relationship over there, but I'm not used to it here... put me down!"

Due to the Holy Emperor Venerable's influence, Mi couldn't openly synchronize her memories between her two bodies. But now that the Holy Emperor Venerable is dead, making bigger moves is no longer a concern.

Wang Qi raised his eyelids: "Senior Sister, your personality composition really is amazing. From our Human Clan's perspective, both your sides are independent, undoubtedly separate personalities, yet you still consider yourself one person." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Different outlooks, let's not discuss such issues."

Yue Luo Liu Li squatted down and asked Mi: "So, is there another unpleasant explanation?"

Wang Qi closed his eyes again, transmitting secretly: "I didn't kill them because I could only confirm my victory with them alive. Without the biological calculator they formed, I couldn't manage the Primordial Spirit's Magical Domain, let alone command the Divine Country Technique of the Holy Emperor Venerable — that's why I covered the entire island with vital energy, to prevent accidental deaths when erasing memories. I didn't erase all their memories because I wanted to conserve mana, just erasing part of them. At the time, I was fighting with the Holy Emperor Venerable, their bit of mana was precious, it should all be invested in calculation, I couldn't spare time to erase all their mana, so I just let them stop thinking first."

Yue Luo Liu Li suddenly realized: "You asked Benevolent Father, Holy Son, and Pure Wind King to protect the whole island for this reason?"

"If they died, I would lose."

Yue Luo Liu Li bit her finger: "Then what was your true intention? Did you really want to save people, or was it purely for absolute profit consideration?"

"Does it matter?" Wang Qi laughed: "Years ago, messing around with a friend, I conducted research proving that 'being a good person is beneficial for long-term interests'. If doing good deeds aligns with my interests, do I need to struggle whether it's for 'benefit' or 'good'?"

Zhen Chan sighed: "I thought everyone on the island was doomed, after all, you kid aren't fond of the Ancient Method Immortal Sect?"

"I once said I would wipe out Ancient Method Practitioners, didn't I achieve that?" Wang Qi continued: "All those 'individuals' directly provoking me are now deceased; I won't vent anger on other Ancient Method Practitioners. I don't hold grudges against other individuals, I'm just eliminating 'Ancient Method Practitioners'."

—— After all, fretting about individuals unfamiliar to oneself is truly low.

Seeing Wang Qi's low interest in conversation, Yue Luo Liu Li quietly started conversing with Mi.

After a while, having arranged other matters, Liu Huantang approached Wang Qi and leaned against the wall, saying, "Now, the Criminal Law Department will definitely hate you, Daoist Fellow Wang."

People originally at the Nascent Soul Stage and above, even if captured, should mostly be executed — they all have criminal records, killing before interrogating them wouldn't be excessive. No one over five hundred years old is innocent. However, Wang Qi has now presented the Criminal Law Department with a major dilemma.

A fool who, before becoming foolish, killed someone, then became irreversibly foolish after the crime — should this fool bear legal responsibility?

Someone already sentenced to death, then mindfully had their outlook replaced, should they be treated as a completely new person, as an inept mental patient, or continue executing the death sentence as the previously competent individual?

This is likely a huge issue.

Especially since there are many such people.

"Isn't this not too bad?" Wang Qi said.

"Not too bad? They might be lightly sentenced, right?" Liu Huantang puzzled: "You're only in your twenties, can't you imagine some grudges can last a millennium? The disciples and children killed by those high-order Ancient Method Practitioners thousand years ago, many are still alive."

According to Liu Huantang's understanding, the Criminal Law Department would probably handle it this way. When they initially committed murder, they were fully capable individuals, thus deserving legal punishment; however, when enforce punishment, the subject, due to Divine Plague Curse Technique, no longer falls under the category warranting severe punishment.

These rules were originally designed to protect Modern Cultivators burdened by Heart Demons and mental obstacles, not targeting Ancient Method Practitioners under such circumstances; however, rules are rules.

This could trigger significant social issues. Wang Qi may complete his task and walk away, but the Immortal Alliance can't.

"The Heart Demon Curse ultimately cannot be completely eradicated, and coupled with the Divine Plague Curse Technique, it is even harder to deal with," Wang Qi explained. "In the normal Immortal Dao, they won't have much of a future anymore; the Unity of My Method checkpoint is nearly impossible for them to pass—there's already an external Fake Will entrenched in their mana. So, if they want immortality, there's only one last road left."

"What?"

"Grovel, and willingly become guinea pigs," Wang Qi said. "I once proposed a technological concept about nationwide immortality. To achieve this goal, the first step is to use Divine Tao Technology based on Human Dao to realize the Longevity Fruit Position 'without Ascension.' They either wait for death or join this project as guinea pigs, contributing their intelligence and life."

Liu Huantang looked stunned at Wang Qi: "This is also... part of your calculations?"

"It's part of the plan."

Liu Huantang held his breath for a long time: "This... is dark."

Wang Qi nodded: "Dark, truly damn dark—but when you come out to play, you have to pay back. Besides, if you don't let them join this research, they might fight desperately with you."

"Hopefully, the early education found by Divine Capital can teach well enough," Liu Huantang shook his head.

"Moreover, they will also serve continuously as public servants for the people," Wang Qi opened his right palm, supporting a golden Light Group dotted with countless colorful light points: "This is the Holy Emperor Venerable God's Divine Country Technique—a Cellular Automata equivalent to a Turing machine, based on Spiritual Energy. Only it's been beaten down. The divine spirits of the Shenzhou People Clan's civilization of eighty thousand years are here, and there aren't many usable ones left. But Human Dao is a great resource, and we have to use it."

Liu Huantang's mind turned quickly: "Make them gods?"

"The first batch. If they do well, allow them immortality, if not, strip their status and let others replace them. In the future, it might even form a system, where those with heart and talent achieve Immortal Dao, and those committed to official duties form the Divine Tao," Wang Qi put away the remaining model of the Divine Country and said, "I've already thought of the core Magic Artifact for this mechanism, it will be called 'Investiture of the Gods,' 'Sealing God Platform,' and the supervisory body will be called 'God Beating Whip,' how does that sound?"

Liu Huantang appeared somewhat distracted: "It's also good... The Immortal Alliance using the old era's gods doesn't seem proper."

"According to the Immortal Alliance's naming style, shouldn't it be called 'God Beating Envoy'?" Zhen Chan teased, then asked Liu Huantang, "Speaking of which, what exactly does the 'Ranger Envoy' do? The publicly direct armed forces of the Immortal Alliance seem to be just the Security Guardian, Guardian Envoy, and Law Enforcement Officer squads. Ranger Envoy... 'foreign,' is it specifically dealing with incidents related to Banished Immortals?"

Liu Huantang then reacted. He first shook his head and said, "That's a confidential matter of the Immortal Alliance that can't be disclosed." Then he sincerely praised Wang Qi: "You, Daoist Fellow Wang, have calculated deeply, each step like a grass snake hidden line, stretching for thousands of miles."

Wang Qi waved his hand. Just joking, he clearly just wanted to play a pun, it can't be considered as "calculation."

Liu Huantang took out a calculator: "The upper management said, after this matter is over, to let you meet Mr. Feng through this calculator."

Wang Qi nodded, then remembered something, and said: "By the way, don't forget to raid Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao. Also, among the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao's collection, there are two Magic Artifacts for me personally, be sure to find them."

Mathematical Sect's Immortal Artifact, this matter also seems quite important. The Immortal Artifact itself is not significant, but what is related to the Immortal Artifact is the news that the Ancient Mathematicians risked their lives to send back from Immortal Heaven, which is very important.

Sister Mi pulled at the hem of Wang Qi's clothes: "Aren't you considering that it's actually on the Holy Emperor Venerable and then fell into the sea?"

Wang Qi slapped his face: "I forgot to consider this possibility, I was only thinking 'if this guy has an Immortal Artifact, he would use it during a tribulation'... But Senior Sister, I'm relying on you."

The sea here is already covered with Mi's organization, so things surely won't be lost.

After that, Wang Qi and Yue Luo, Liu Li pressed their hands on the calculator.

Wang Qi felt a stream of data covering his perception. Then, he arrived at the central circle of bookshelves. This was Feng Luoyi's most commonly used "chat background," surprisingly, the Master of Calculation was also there.

Seeing the Master of Calculation, Wang Qi felt somewhat uneasy. This elder had assisted him at the beginning of his Immortal Path, and recently helped suppress internal radical backlash against imperfect matters within the Li Sect, he was immensely generous. Although it's no one's fault, Wang Qi still felt a bit sad.

Instead, the Master of Calculation amiably smiled at Wang Qi. Feng Luoyi saw Yue Luo, Liu Li, and Mi all sitting down and said: "Now that everyone is here, report about your situations."

Wang Qi was quite conscious and spoke first: "The Holy Emperor Venerable is already executed, Spirit Phoenix Island cultivators are all dealt with, Ancient Method Practitioners no longer exist."

"West Sea Dragon King is already executed." The next person to speak was Xi Baiche: "As for the result... I discovered 'this' inside him."

Xi Baiche released a picture. The picture was very blurry, Wang Qi could only see a mass of red-black mist. However, this wasn't a device or technical issue, rather it was an issue with the mist itself.

"True Color Sin..." Yue Luo, Liu Li growled lowly like a beast.

"West Sea Dragon King has long ceased to be the West Sea Dragon King." Xi Baiche said: "He was afflicted with True Color Sin at least ten years ago."
