Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 897 - 226: Gou Dabao’s Core Formation (Part 2)

The Core Formation of the Dataized Cultivation Method involves two transformations: "Divine Separation Sense Transformation" and "Unity of My Method." These transformations inevitably touch upon the human mind. Thus, to ordinary cultivators, these two steps are highly personalized matters.

Wang Qi can use the "One-Click Core Formation" artificial Golden Core technology to completely replicate his Golden Core into Gou Dabao's body, even down to the details. However, this Golden Core inevitably would not align with Gou Dabao's inherent nature, making this process difficult to complete.

If Gou Dabao were to deduce his own Virtual and Real Two-Phase Golden Core based on Wang Qi's formula, it would be too challenging.

The Virtual and Real Two-Phase Golden Core involves multiple domains such as logic and number theory, and goes very deep. If one's mathematical skills are lacking, it becomes a nightmare.

This is the difficult point for Gou Dabao to achieve the Virtual and Real Two-Phase Golden Core and also the difficulty faced by other cultivators in breaking through the Primordial Spirit Heaven Barrier.

Theoretically, all cultivators can complete their Primordial Spirit using the formulas and designs left by predecessors. However, if one cannot comprehend and thoroughly understand those formulas, and blindly applies them without integrating their own reality, they can only form a Low Grade Primordial Spirit.

To solve this issue, Wang Qi came up with a solution. Gou Dabao would still form his core at his own pace, while Wang Qi would intervene in real-time during the core formation process, assisting Gou Dabao in correctly forming his Golden Core.

Wang Qi even speculates that if this attempt is successful, he might start a new service project, "Artificial Auxiliary Core Formation," or even "Artificial Auxiliary Primordial Spirit Achievement." This might give birth to new professions, like a "Core Formation Master" specializing in helping people form cores, or a "Primordial Spirit Master" specializing in helping people achieve Primordial Spirit. In the future, medical clinics might have a separate department called the "Breakthrough Department," similar to the cosmetic surgery department in Earth's hospitals.

However, these are matters for later.

Right now, the most important thing is to help Gou Dabao successfully form his core!

"Group Two, except Number Nine, Numbers Seven, Eleven, and Twenty-Two, connect!"

Wang Qi's second instruction was issued. More than two hundred Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles were connected to the Spirit Gathering Array. More information was injected into Gou Dabao's body. The Artificial Law Foundation used this information to interfere with Gou Dabao's mana. Countless operators were generated, autonomously arranged and combined, transforming and aggregating according to algorithmic rules, then integrated into the nascent Golden Core.

The Golden Core is the hub of the mana cycle system, governing all the mana of a Core Formation Cultivator. The nature of the Golden Core determines the mana power intent of the cultivator after core formation.

Under Wang Qi's intervention, the Golden Core undergoing drastic changes started to contract severely. Gou Dabao's mana was absorbed into the rapidly spinning core and then sprayed out at high speed along the spinning direction. In the process of entering and exiting, Gou Dabao's mana shed its original mysterious and obscure nature, becoming markedly distinct, measurable by words.

The surrounding spiritual energy circulation balance was disrupted, leading to the appearance of small thunderbolts. At this moment, Wang Qi raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

Normally, the stronger the Golden Core a cultivator forms, the stronger would be the accompanying small thunderbolt. Gou Dabao being a Banished Immortal, with his superficial consciousness guided by Wang Qi not rejecting the Wanfa Sect Cultivation Method, logically the small thunderbolt should be quite strong. However, this small thunderbolt was surprisingly weak.

It felt almost like a static spark!

"No abnormalities, don't get distracted by appearances!" Li Enkai suddenly rebuked.

Wang Qi constrained, scanned the various data on the panel, and indeed found it so.

The small thunderbolt is triggered by the interaction between the external and internal heavens and earth. Since the issue is not in Gou Dabao's system, it must lie in the external heaven and earth?

Is there something special about this place?

Wang Qi suppressed his curiosity.

"Group Three Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles, release spirit sense. Group Four, Numbers Seven to Fifteen, Numbers Twenty-Three to Twenty-Eight, Numbers Fifty to Seventy-Two, directly release towards Gou Dabao's acupoints!"

Following Wang Qi's instruction, the third group of Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles and part of the fourth group started working.

Real-time assistance in forming a top-grade Golden Core for someone is far more difficult than forming one for oneself. This requires preparing more contingency plans and corresponding methods.

The Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles Wang Qi is now directing are the core formation plans devised by several Great Grandmasters coordinated by Feng Luoyi according to Wang Qi's ideas. They cover almost all changes that may arise during Gou Dabao's core formation. More than half of these Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles won't be used.

"Batch Six!"

Under Wang Qi's command, batch after batch of Spirit Rhinoceros Bottles were activated, a large amount of spirit sense poured into Gou Dabao's body.

If one were to look at his Golden Core now, it would appear densely covered with operators, as if ingeniously engraved with a complete program.

"Spirit harmonized, Golden Core… accomplished…"

Gou Dabao once again changed the finger technique in his hand, guiding the mana flow and dispersion within the Golden Core.

This is the most crucial step.

A vortex formed by mana encircled him. Gou Dabao closed his eyes, letting his mind descend, beginning to visualize his sinking.

Simultaneously, a wisp of his soul carrying his thoughts also projected towards the Golden Core.

This is Wang Qi's small "knock" to accomplish Unity of Magic and Self in the Dataized Cultivation Method. Project consciousness into the calculator-like Golden Core and then become part of the calculator.

In the darkness, various illusions emerged before Gou Dabao's eyes, making him feel he was falling towards a wondrous place. He felt as if he were dissolving, while simultaneously entering a broader cosmos.

——Wonderful… this is Teacher's cultivation method…

——Not good…

——Nice!

——Disgusting!

——Hideous!

Suddenly, Gou Dabao felt a stirring in the depths of his heart. A new emotion emerged.

——I can't do this!

——Must do it...

——This is not me! I'm not that soulless thing!

For an Immortal Remnant Soul, cultivating the Modern Cultivation Method was like swallowing dung. So, making him use the Modern Cultivation Method to complete Divine Separation Sense Transformation?

It was like throwing him into a cesspool!

"Oh...ah...ahhhhh!"

Instinct immediately overcame reason, and Gou Dabao screamed unexpectedly.

"What's wrong?"

"What's happening?"

Li Enkai and Wang Qi noticed something amiss simultaneously. Out-of-plan data suddenly appeared on the panel in front of them. For the calculator, this data was like garbled code, covering the data that Wang Qi had input, causing Gou Dabao's internal state to change instantly.

Two conflicting wills began clashing. Gou Dabao's mana cycle suddenly split into two. The balance of his internal world was disrupted, causing mana to boil and stirring up the surrounding nature's spiritual energy. Amongst the individual contention, terrifying thunderbolts like dragons and serpents, not resembling small thunderbolts, swept in all directions, obscuring Wang Qi and Li Enkai's view.

"Category D situation. Stay alert, prepare to escape if necessary!" Li Enkai released Qi Gang with a wave of his hand to block the thunderbolts and issued the order.

In a matter of moments, the thunder dissipated, and Gou Dabao's sturdy figure emerged. His eyes were vacant, and his expression was filled with confusion.

Wang Qi's gaze fixed on the virtual panel before him, shouting, "Gou Dabao? Respond!"

Li Enkai's question was more direct: "Who are you? Banished Immortal, answer, who are you?"

"Hehe...hehehe..." Gou Dabao seemed not to hear at all, staring intently at the ceiling. Then, he took a step towards Wang Qi. Li Enkai, anticipating his attack, retreated a step, combining the three extreme moves "Heavenly Radiance, Filling Cangming," "Wanting to Surpass the Star Sea Light," and "Endless Electromagnetic Rotation," with boundless Qi Gang filling space, ready to strike. Meanwhile, his left hand formed a sword seal behind his back, ready to deliver a fierce blow to this Banished Immortal.

However, the expected attack did not come. Instead, there was a sound that made teeth ache, like metal reaching its limit and fracturing!

"What's wrong?"

"What's happening?"

Wang Qi felt a violent tremor beneath his feet. Li Enkai's face changed dramatically, pressing his hands to the ground, powerful electromagnetic force pouring into it, linking atoms. Yet the fracturing force seemed stronger. Soon, a crack appeared on the ground, and then it spread, tearing through the ceiling.

Suddenly formed winds poured outside. Wang Qi looked up and saw the azure sky, mysterious clouds... No, it was an ocean.

He realized instantly he was on Shenzhou's synchronous orbit! This "Secret Land" was fundamentally a space station. In this space station, artificial gravity direction completely differed from Shenzhou Land's gravity direction, causing an "upside-down" effect!

"Banished Immortal Gou Dabao, in his previous incarnation suspected of mastering Innate Final Destiny Dao, Innate Taiji Dao, and Innate Fate Dao. Just now, he used the End of Fortune's Decay Calamity Law with a kick, erasing this place's various anomalies and using soft power to damage its structure!" At this moment, another Primordial Spirit Master's analytical result reached Wang Qi's ear.

As the dome tore open, chaotic forces from the cosmos with unstable chaotic spiritual energy rushed in. For ordinary cultivators, extraterrestrial forces unfiltered by Nine Heavens Gang Wind were harmful. But Gou Dabao seemed indifferent, basked in chaotic forces, longing to return to the "planet above."

——Go...

——I want to return!

Both wills agreed at this moment. Then, the Banished Immortal crouched, bent down, gathered strength, wanting to leap towards Shenzhou.

With Golden Core Stage prowess and Banished Immortal's realm, he could completely break through Nine Heavens Gang Wind Layer, neutralizing gravitational acceleration!

Once he entered this planet's sea, he'd be free!

Li Enkai panicked. The synchronous orbit was very close to Shenzhou, generally visible to cultivators with the naked eye. If the concealed law was broken, this Secret Land would be exposed, nullifying the Immortal Alliance's plans, so they must maintain its integrity. But halting the Banished Immortal was paramount. He hesitated briefly, prepared to act to stop Gou Dabao.

But Wang Qi was faster.

The moment Gou Dabao jumped, Wang Qi stood beside him, like timing on a stopwatch, accurately gripping the Banished Immortal's neck, then used Arrow Control Technique with Soft Power to change Gou Dabao's body momentum direction, slamming him onto the floor.

"Yo, Alien, quite arrogant. Did I say you could leave?" Wang Qi stepped on the Banished Immortal's chest: "Taking my student's body and wanting to escape? This is insulting my professional ethics as a teacher."
