Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 874 - 203: Of Course Things Aren’t That Simple

Now, whether it's Wang Qi, Yue Luo Liu Li, or Liu Yi, they all feel that the crux of the matter lies with Mei Gemu. As long as Mei Gemu is found, the issue can be resolved. As for the problems caused by the Heart Demon Great Curse, it's not something particularly terrifying.

But soon, Wang Qi realized that he was wrong.

Over there, Liu Yi was having a great time smashing. He had turned the entire demonized forest into wood chips and then burned it all up with True Fire. Without those objects of dependency, the Divine Plague Curse Technique would gradually disappear.

Its essence, after all, is information.

On Earth, no matter how files are shredded on computers, if someone is determined, they'll always find some traces within the records. This is also why viruses are hard to eliminate.

But if you unload a clip of bullets onto a hard drive, even a super virus capable of paralyzing the entire network would meet its end.

To eradicate the Divine Plague Curse Technique, one could either rely on mathematical skill like Wang Qi and Feng Luoyi, or one could forcibly extinguish it based on one's essence of life like Mei Gemu. However, to physically make the power of the Divine Plague Curse Technique vanish, anyone can do it.

Yet, the spell power of the Heart Demon Great Curse, which is tangible and almost like divine power, isn't so easily eliminated.

At this moment, he received a message from Wang Qi: "Mr. Liu, I have a finding here."

Liu Yi tensed up: "What, found the Banished Immortal?"

"No, but something remarkable has happened…"

"Then let's talk about it later." Liu Yi noted: "I need to put in more effort to wipe out these Demon Trees."

"No, Mr. Liu, you've probably done something futile." Wang Qi's tone was a bit strange: "Aren't you curious… shouldn't there be animals in this demonized forest…"

"There should be…"

Liu Yi was at a loss for words.

The demon bees Wang Qi had subdued were carnivorous. How could there be no meat in this forest?

Liu Yi immediately stopped.

The mobility of animals is something that plants can't compare to. In other words…

"Did I just waste my effort?"

"Not exactly. The demon essence of those Demon Trees, after all, belongs to the plant realm. Even if infected by Immortal power and eroded by the Divine Plague Curse Technique, this layer of essence won't change. This type of demon essence is more effective on plants." In the message, Wang Qi said: "At least you've slowed down the erosion of the Divine Plague Curse Technique."

Liu Yi sighed: "Wang Qi, your discovery isn't that urgent, is it?"

"It's not urgent," Wang Qi said: "You're…"

"Continuing the pace to slow down the erosion of the Divine Plague Curse Technique…"

When Liu Yi returned to the beehive, Wang Qi was studying a red monster. This red monster was about the size of a domestic pig, short and plump, with ten pairs of legs, a flat head, and its body surface had layers of dead skin-like wrinkles. These wrinkles were hardened and looked like armor, even with a lustrous sheen, giving it an imposing appearance.

As Wang Qi put it, if this creature had only four legs, it would resemble an iron-armored rhinoceros.

Looking at the small creature being hung by a worker bee, Liu Yi frowns.

This thing also carried the aura of Mei Gemu.

"This creature moves in the mud, feeding on the microorganisms and tree roots within," Wang Qi said. "It usually sneaks within the mud. However, since it had my Divine Plague Curse on it, under the method of Same Energy Seeking, it was dragged out."

Whoever was afflicted by Wang Qi's Tribulation God Plague would inherit part of Wang Qi's traits.

This is how Mei Gemu was tightly tracked down by Wang Qi using the method of Same Energy Seeking.

Currently, Wang Qi utilized the Heart Demon Great Curse's characteristic originating from the Divine Tao to set up the Heart Demon Network. Now, as long as he had the Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body, he could remotely control the entire bee swarm. Under Wang Qi's control, all the demon bees scattered in the forest were using this not-too-complicated skill.

Like tens of thousands of biological radars, they instantly covered the entire forest. Then Wang Qi finally understood the extent of the Divine Plague Curse Technique's spread.

Wherever the bee swarm went, there were animals infected with the Divine Plague Curse Technique everywhere.

Liu Yi was shocked: "This… this seems like a plague!"

"This is indeed a plague, only it's a plague on the soul level." Wang Qi sighed: "Otherwise, why do you think this spell is called the 'Divine Plague Curse Technique'?"

Greatly shocked, Liu Yi couldn't care about any semblance of civility, grabbing Wang Qi by the collar, and angrily said: "Wang Qi, you… you… you actually used this forbidden technique!"

The aura of the Primordial Spirit Stage was like a wave crashing head-on, making Wang Qi momentarily breathless. He felt a slight tingle in his nasal cavity and the corners of his eyes, perhaps from resisting the aura and rupturing tiny blood vessels. But even now, Wang Qi remained calm enough: "Rest assured, things haven't yet reached a disastrous level."

Liu Yi released Wang Qi, silently recited the Heart Clarity Spell, and then said: "What are you planning to do now?"

"First, our initial step is to establish an isolation zone."

"Isolation zone?"

"I'll use the Heart Demon Great Curse and another stable Divine Plague Curse Technique to infect the surrounding trees so that they can resist the power of someone like Mei Gemu while also scaring off animals carrying the Divine Plague Curse Technique." Wang Qi extended his hand, signaling Jarvis to launch a projection of an illusion. It was a schematic of this forest area.

"You may notice that all these infected animals are around this 'Demon Tree Area.' They were originally living in this mutant area, but the large-scale demonization of trees terrified them. We just need to form a containment…" Wang Qi drew a circle on the projection, which was much larger than the infected area: "…an isolation zone—because who knows if there are any carriers infected by the Divine Plague Curse Technique that have not yet displayed their powers due to a latent period."

What Wang Qi was doing was akin to creating a "firewall."

The Divine Plague Curse Technique was something he created, so naturally, he had a method to counter it.

Liu Yi exhaled deeply, yet suspiciously glanced at Wang Qi once again.

"Mr. Liu, what's wrong?"

Liu Yi's face was strange: "I always feel... you handle this matter surprisingly well. Besides in the Divine Capital, have you done such an unforgivable thing elsewhere?"

"You're the second person today to ask why I'm so skilled at this..." Wang Qi turned his face away: "I've done it many times in dreams—does that reason work for you?"

—Moreover, in other people's dreams...

Wang Qi's "instance," also known as the scoundrel who called himself "Senior Brother Mi," indeed did it many times.

Back then, the rebellious instance tried every possible means to devour Mi. However, he also considered the issue of "control"—if he accidentally used too much force and the backlash of Mi's Divine Plague Curse spread throughout Shenzhou, he'd genuinely face a situation where "everyone under heaven is Wang Qi."

The rebellious instance delved deeply into the research of the Heart Demon Curse for survival.

Just in terms of the Heart Demon Curse alone, Wang Qi's level was close to Feng Luoyi. What truly limited his application was only the calculation speed and transmission speed.

At this moment, Yue Luo Liu Li, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Wang Qi, there's a problem with this image."

Liu Yi, knowing the true form of Yue Luo Liu Li, did not dare to neglect, and said: "Liu Li Daoist, what guidance do you have?"

"He wants to use a certain Divine Tao method," Yue Luo Liu Li said. "He's not entirely unaffected by those distributed forces. He's setting up a Divine Tao skill."

Wang Qi looked at the illusion in doubt. From the image, he couldn't see anything, and asked confusedly: "Is this the Divine Tao method?"

"Your Human Clan indeed has a deep understanding of the essence of the Divine Tao. The 'Divine Tao Grouping Theory' that Mi told me about recently is indeed formidable. However, the time you Humans have spent on achieving the Dao is too short; many application methods you do not recognize," Yue Luo Liu Li said. "The Dragon Clan has guided the Renewal Demon Clan. That clan, which focuses on the Divine Tao, has deduced the Incense Fire God Formation to its peak. Regarding these matters, I can indeed speak more."

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

"This Heaven and Earth fundamentally lacks Divine Tao. Their understanding of the Divine Tao is truly too shallow..."

Mei Gemu muddledly thought while lying in the mud.

In terms of Divine Tao, his homeland and Shenzhou were simply not on the same level. The so-called Holy Infant Sect, regarded as the paramount Divine Tao of the ages, might not be particularly remarkable in his homeland's Water Clan World.

The decline of the Divine Tao in this Heaven and Earth was his last chance at survival.

If those cultivators didn't notice...

Initially, he hadn't gone far, but followed a group of frightened Secret Realm relic species to this area and then buried himself in the mud.

When he finally escaped, he maximized the operation of the method to jump out of the river of time, creating the largest internal and external time difference. Even the late-stage Primordial Spirit cultivator might not see what he did clearly. They surely wouldn't know that, having burned his essence blood and dispersed a massive amount of power, he was now weaker than even a worm.

This was also the reliance for creating the "under the lamp, darkness" effect.

It was fortunate that he burned most of the infected power, slowing down the erosion of the Divine Plague Curse Technique. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

However, for the part that infiltrated the Immortal Remnant Soul, he couldn't deal with it in such a manner.

So, while he was diverting power, he also issued a hint.

As for whether that hint could be copied and spread like the mysterious plague-like spell, he wasn't sure.

This was a gamble with life.

The Great Prayer Array. He bet his life on this.

This wasn't a sacrificial technique, not a method of exchanging incense fire power for divine protection. Because he was now infected with heterodox spell, rashly using incense fire power to connect with the Divine Spirit could sully even the Divine Spirit Body.

The Great Prayer Array simply resonated with the Divine Body, then prayed for Divine Spirit to bestow divine favor.

However, Mei Gemu's current situation was somewhat different.

His current target for prayer was another Divine Body he crafted in his previous life. He knew that Divine Body's method well, and knew the deliberately left key points inside.

He knew if he arranged the Great Prayer Array like this, divine power would surely descend.

And that divine power was his opportunity now.

As long as his hint could circulate and spread along with that heterodox spell and his own native power...

As long as those beasts, those animals, could follow his hint and execute the praying ceremony...

Under the effect of the Divine Plague Curse Technique, his consciousness became distant again.

That was... his homeland world... the Divine Tao World...

Every ascension of a pinnacle divine person meant all witches would have their souls and strength seized, and all believers would have a wisp of soul permanently taken away; only the most reliable confidants could ascend with the God—the confidants would eventually transform into a part of the God's will. The so-called Divine Tao method also included the ability to convert from blood and flesh species to beast herd species, or beast herd type.

Due to the inevitable chaos caused by a God's ascension, the divine person would face betrayal from confidants and attacks from nearby unascended gods before ascending.

Those days were his closest moment to death in his life, every step was thrilling, living in fear.

After becoming Immortal, it was rarely so embarrassing.

But today, he once again sensed the long-lost scent of death.

This "me" dies, it's truly a death...

Therefore, I must not die!

The bursting will awakened Mei Gemu. He was pleasantly surprised to realize that a wisp of foreign power appeared within him.

That was the taste of the Innate Five Elements!
