Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 873 - 202: A False Alarm

What exactly is information?

Without a doubt, it has physical properties. Reading, writing, editing, erasing information all consume energy.

However, how information impacts matter is still without a clear explanation.

Some identical information can exhibit completely different effects on different "mediums."

To give a somewhat inappropriate example, if you copy all of Windows' code onto paper with a pen, even if the paper is filled, it won't have any magical function.

Clearly, the information is consistent, but because of the different mediums, different results occur.

The reason why Wang Qi dared to transcribe the memory of a Banished Immortal before was for this reason.

The memory of a Banished Immortal, when leaving the mind of the Banished Immortal, leaving the "hardware" of the Banished Immortal Soul, simply doesn't function, having no effect.

The Divine Plague Curse Technique is terrifying, but if transcribed into "0" and "1" and copied onto paper, it can't create any storm to overturn the heavens.

With a glance, Wang Qi memorized all the mysterious changes of Yin and Yang in the Divine Plague Curse Technique from the arrangement of these leaves. This time, he didn't dare to replicate this spell within himself. He took out a calculator of not very high grade, and with Jarvis' help, converted the Wanxiang Diagram back into Yin Yang Yao Text.

Soon, lines of code materialized in front of Wang Qi.

Wang Qi checked line by line. Then, he finally let out a long sigh: "Thank goodness..."

Liu Yi hurriedly asked, "What's 'thank goodness'?"

"It's not the most terrifying possibility; this Divine Plague Curse Technique hasn't mutated," Wang Qi sighed. "These codes distinctly divide into two threads. At the material level, the Divine Plague Curse Technique is indeed entangled with Mei Gemu's mana, but not at the Spirit Sense level."

"The so-called demon transformation is caused by Mei Gemu Immortal's power, and has nothing to do with the Divine Plague Curse Technique. However, all those subsequent effects are indeed the work of the Divine Plague Curse Technique." Wang Qi lowered his head, contemplating the leaves expressing Yin or Yang, without speaking.

The Divine Plague Curse Technique is like a defective gene segment that was originally hidden within Mei Gemu's "bloodline," causing a kind of congenital disorder. Originally, this congenital disorder wasn't contagious, but Mei Gemu's body also carries a reverse transcription virus. This virus can incorporate this gene segment into itself and then spread it out.

There exists natural "genetic transformation" in nature, which is also the source of many mutations.

Currently, Mei Gemu's "immortal power" is that "virus." The Divine Plague Curse Technique follows Mei Gemu's power, entering the trees.

Wang Qi's Divine Plague Curse Technique was originally meant to pollute the wisdom of others. However, when it came to these mindless plants, it instead became their "wisdom," forming the basis of their actions.

But, this is ultimately just a thought of Wang Qi's, as they do not possess communication abilities, nor true thinking abilities. They are nearly uncontrollable.

Because they still retain a trace of the Immortal's will, Wang Qi is also unable to control these Tree Demons!

The only terrifying thing is their possession of the power of the Divine Plague Curse. While it is life to them, for all wise life beings, including the Human Clan, it is poison.

"With the codes here, I think, solving those Tree Demons is not particularly difficult." Wang Qi let out a sigh of relief.

The essence of these Tree Demons is far below that of a Primordial Spirit Master, and forcibly correcting them is very simple.

If that doesn't work, directly evaporating them with a full-force blow from the Heavenly Sword is fine.

Wang Qi carried with him a Heavenly Sword, nourished for several months, capable of delivering a full-strength strike. Eliminating these mere Core Formation Tree Demons is effortless.

Liu Yi shook his head, "No need for now. If it's just about exterminating, I can handle it, saving you the trouble of using your nourished treasure."

After casting a move, as long as you don't retract your external mana, and make no restrictions, you won't touch the Heart Demon Curse.

With the capability of a Primordial Spirit Master, no matter how many of such Tree Demons there are, they do not pose a threat. Here, they are not Human Clan, lacking Spirit Wisdom, so there's no need for hesitation in killing.

The main concern is the possibility of these vicious Tree Demons hiding some other means, making it risky to destroy directly. After Wang Qi's confirmation, there should be no issue.

Wang Qi frowned, "Let's not rush. Let me ask you, Mr. Liu, can you still sense the direction of Mei Gemu?"

Liu Yi was taken aback, shaking his head with a wry smile: "I can't sense it anymore. Even though he left many clues along the way, those Tree Demons' commotion basically obliterated them."

"We can roughly tell the direction." Wang Qi said, "Then, Mr. Liu, will you destroy those trees, and I'll send those demon bees for reconnaissance?"

The group of demon bees were already thoroughly infected, and even Mei Gemu couldn't infect them a second time.

Liu Yi nodded, then said seriously, "Wang Qi, remember this, if you're not sure you can capture or destroy his soul, you must not kill him. This is absolutely non-negotiable, understand?"

The essence of reincarnation is the random wandering of residual souls.

This mechanism is something no one can fully control.

Now, that guy still carries the Divine Plague Curse Technique - not the peaceful Heart Demon Mysterious Net Rank in the Divine Capital that aids mortals in living with Heart Demon Curse Power, but a destructive, invasive, and contagious spiritual plague.

If this guy were to undergo a second transcend tribulation, he might kill everyone around him even before being born.

Wang Qi nodded, looking worried, "I must also point out, the Divine Plague Curse Technique within that guy is not completely flawless. With each iteration, it accumulates some changes—don't look at me like that; its blueprint is based on my spirit, after all, it's inevitable. The tolerance of this spell is very high, minor changes are fine, but if major changes occur, even I could be harmed by it."

Liu Yi's face tightened, "How much time do we have left?"

Wang Qi spread his hands, "This is a non-linear system, I don't know either."

After assigning tasks, Wang Qi and Liu Yi once again moved separately. Liu Yi began destroying the dreadful demon trees. With a wave of his hand, a huge Sword Qi hundreds of feet long appeared. This Sword Qi flashed once, slicing half of the demon trees into splinters. Still not satisfied, Liu Yi flew into the sky, raised his hands at chest level, where a white light gathered, and endless Sword Qi surged out from the light group. Each strand of Sword Qi was the length of a chopstick, and the thickness of a chicken egg. They covered the entire area of the demon trees like torrential rain.

Meanwhile, Wang Qi returned to the beehive. First, he sent out the Soldier Bees with long membranous wings and mutated forelimbs. These demon bees were specialized in attacking other life beings within the Hundred Thousand Mountains, quickly.

These demon bees were originally the most numerous in the hive. However, they were always the frontline attackers during combat, thus suffered the most casualties under Lian Yichen's attack, and most turned into the Mystical Thought Bodies on the ground. This made Wang Qi feel a bit short-handed.

However, the Six-Blade Footed Demon Bees had average crawling speed, only comparable to galloping horses, and couldn't fly themselves, while ordinary worker bees were far slower than the Soldier Bees, making it hard to pursue the Banished Immortal.

He thought for a moment, then raised his long sword and asked Yue Luo Liu Li, "Liu Li, the prototype of the Transformation Divine Power originated from the Ant Clan's self-division innate divine ability, can you manipulate this beast herd species' division?"

"Do you mean to hatch these creatures into a species specialized for flying?"

Wang Qi nodded.

"It can be done." Yue Luo Liu Li said, "These demon bees are also descendants of the Alien Clan, their bloodline is highly plastic and very suitable for transformation. While in the egg, they are not yet independent life and lack instinct, hence they can be interfered with."

Wang Qi raised his long sword. Yue Luo Liu Li immediately enacted his method, showering the area with purple light. Simultaneously, Wang Qi also used the Life Flame to expedite the hatching of these eggs with the power of life.

Soon, newly born larvae appeared before Wang Qi. They gnawed at the beehive and their own egg shells, rapidly evolving. Within a few short minutes, these new larvae, each about the height of a person, molted twice, revealing their mature forms through incomplete metamorphosis.

Perhaps because they were artificially matured, or perhaps due to the lack of food, these new "Reconnaissance Soldier Bees" were only one-sixth the size of normal Soldier Bees and Worker Bees, and their form was quite peculiar. Instead of resembling bees or ants, they looked more like dragonflies, suggested by their broader membranous wings and elongated third body segment.

These are specialized Reconnaissance Soldiers. As Beast Herd Species, they were born at Qi Storage Perfection, one step away from Core Formation. With Wang Qi's treatment of a drop of Emperor's Liquid each, they flew out like arrows leaving a bow.

Yue Luo Liu Li suddenly sighed, "When it comes to this, you seem unexpectedly skilled at it?"

"What?"

"Handling spell outbursts." Yue Luo Liu Li said, "You seem quite experienced."

"Ahem..." Wang Qi turned his face away awkwardly, "As a righteous young man who's always enthusiastic to help, I must be on the frontlines of the spell-space, making significant contributions to assure the safety of people's lives and property."

"Righteous? I thought in the Human Clan language it's a commendable term. Are you implying that you act out of eagerness for fame and profit?"

"Tch, watch your words now." Wang Qi found a dry spot atop the beehive and sat down, asking, "By the way, do you know that Banished Immortal's method?"

"Unexpectedly, it's the Harvesting Technique, I miscalculated."

"Harvesting Technique?"

"A Law Gate to transfer one's tribulation onto others. Among Undying Beasts, it's not a simple method either." Yue Luo Liu Li sighed, "I didn't expect this Banished Immortal could do this as well. Truly, each Undying Beast should not be judged with common sense."
