Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 899 - 128: The End

Gou Dabao is a special Banished Immortal. Due to the long-standing opposition between his superficial consciousness and deeper instincts, he exhibits symptoms similar to potential schizophrenia, akin to borderline personality disorder. His spirit has long been in an unstable state, with extreme fluctuations, frequent caprices, and often polarized tendencies.

For many years, he has relied on various Heart Cultivation Methods to suppress this shattered mental state. Fortunately, before experiencing any special impact, the Immortal Remnant Soul had not awakened; instead, it resisted the Banished Immortal identity and Ancient Method perception immensely, which enabled him to persevere.

As a host, the Immortal has seen all sorts of major upheavals. With enough backups of himself, it didn't matter if one or two hosts were unwilling to allow his resurrection.

However, Gou Dabao's attempt to use the Modern Cultivation Method of Divine Separation Sense Transformation was akin to trying to pollute the Immortal's original purity with a Heterodox Cultivation method fundamentally opposed to the Immortal's root cultivation. This caused an instinctual rejection from the Immortal Remnant Soul. As a result, Gou Dabao's Divine Separation Sense Transformation practice was forcibly interrupted, unable to go deeper. The thoughts of both the Immortal and Gou Dabao's superficial consciousness integrated into the mana simultaneously.

The mana refined with the Immortal's thoughts immediately changed nature, creating another cycle within Gou Dabao's body. The Remnant Soul is a fragmented piece with incomplete functionality and lacks thinking ability, but this cycle can make the simplest judgments. The intense will contained in the few thoughts of the Immortal grew continuously within these cycles, occupying Gou Dabao's original consciousness in just a few breaths.

However, Gou Dabao still resisted in a way incomprehensible to outsiders. It was precisely because of this that the "Banished Immortal" fighting Wang Qi never exhibited any rational component.

The proof lies in the data before Wang Qi.

"Some data matches the expected values exactly. Also, I remember the exact data from the last moment before Gou Dabao's mutation," Wang Qi brought up the records and showed them to Li Enkai: "Part of his mana is still on its original trajectory. That portion of mana is fused with the thoughts of Gou Dabao's personality."

"It is precisely because of this that I was able to incite the conflict between the two currents of mana within him at a critical moment and assist one to overcome the other."

Li Enkai nodded: "So, at the time, the 'consciousness' we fought against was neither the awakened Immortal nor Gou Dabao, but a mixture of a bit of the Immortal's thought and Gou Dabao's will..."

"Exactly." Wang Qi nodded.

"Then how did you later eliminate that Immortal will?"

"It's not about elimination. I merely interrupted the thinking circuit of those thoughts." Wang Qi smiled and raised a hand of his projection manifestation: "The nature of this projection power is very similar to my mana. As for my mana, it contains some confidential techniques of the Immortal Alliance, which I'm not at liberty to divulge to you. You just need to know that this mana is extremely difficult to refine."

Li Enkai found it somewhat strange. In the Immortal Alliance's cultivation, there's no such thing as "confidential." Even the so-called "military version" and "civilian version" only differ slightly in Combat Skill, but the life essence enhancement parts are complete. Furthermore, as the leader of such a secret department, he has the authority to exchange for all the techniques of the Immortal Alliance. No matter how secret the cultivation techniques are, they wouldn't be secret to him. However, he gleaned a critical point from Wang Qi's words: "Difficult to refine... You cut off his mana circulation!"

At this thought, he was somewhat astonished. That Banished Immortal had at least completed the Divine Separation Sense Transformation. Some Primordial Spirit Cultivators only reach this level. Techniques like Divine Separation Sense Transformation can't increase the absolute amount of mana but can greatly enhance the essence of mana. Wang Qi, intending to cut off the opponent's mana by injecting his mana into the opponent's acupoint, implied that his mana quality vastly exceeded the opponent's!

Otherwise, the injected mana would be refined by the opponent in moments.

He didn't know that Wang Qi's mana was not only difficult to refine but practically toxic! Wang Qi did not lie; his cultivation technique indeed involved confidential matters. Others' mana coming with "Fire Attribute" or "Water Attribute" is considered impressive, but Wang Qi's mana is accompanied by the "Divine Plague Curse Technique." It not only resists other mana refinements but also reversely contaminates others' mana.

It was fortunate that Wang Qi didn't intend to take Gou Dabao's life and didn't use the Divine Plague Curse Technique mode.

Gou Dabao's Dataized Cultivation Method transformed his mana system into a data flow structure computer. Cutting off the mana operation was equivalent to cutting off the operation of the Immortal's thoughts. In the absence of the Immortal's awakening, even Gou Dabao himself thought he had lost support.

Li Enkai asked again: "What are you doing now?"

"Casting the Divine Plague Spell on him."

Wang Qi's casual response changed Li Enkai's expression sharply: "Divine Plague Spell?"

"Oh, a benign one, without replication ability." Wang Qi smiled and said: "At the last moment, I roughly figured something out through the data and crafted a Divine Plague Spell technique to restrict that Immortal's thought... It might make things easier for this kid in the future."

Li Enkai touched his forehead. No sweat, as the cold sweat had already evaporated in this near-vacuum environment. From the beginning, he and Wang Qi had been speaking via Spiritual Sense Transmission. He opened his mouth and finally only clasped his hands, saying: "Initially, I thought you were a backdoor entrant riding on connections... and someone who would wantonly conduct live experiments without regard for life. However, now it seems I judged a gentlemen's heart with a petty mind."

Wang Qi waved his hand: "The matter of disregarding human life you mentioned, I haven't done it any less. However, generally, the lives I disregard are those of the enemies. Alright, Mr. Li, you'd better fix this first before talking, staying in a vacuum isn't pleasant, and besides, this kid doesn't look like he can hold on much longer! Also, please add a few more restrictions on his mana later. Although I can easily set up restrictions, I can't set up reliable ones, so I'm counting on you."

"No problem." Li Enkai nodded, then focused on repairing the broken space station magic artifact. Under the influence of his electromagnetic force, the shattered metal moved like clay and quickly returned to its original state. Then, with a swipe of his hand, even the tiniest gaps disappeared—he reestablished chemical bonds at the atomic scale. The places that were once cracks now looked brand new.

While Li Enkai was repairing the damage, the other two grandmasters controlling the magic artifact hub were not idle. They quickly refined the space station magic artifact, using the residual power of the whole artifact to restore the layers of restrictions dissolved by Gou Dabao.

After finishing all this, Li Enkai took out a bottle. A gust of wind swept through, and the air filled the room once more.

Li Enkai took a deep breath. Although he could prevent his blood and cell fluid from boiling by manipulating all the water molecules in his body, and his extremely tempered physical body could also withstand the pressure difference inside and outside, it was still more comfortable to stay in an atmospheric environment.

The Dragon Clan also had the ability to roam space with their physical bodies, but they would still choose to stay in the sea when conditions allowed.

Wang Qi tossed Gou Dabao to Li Enkai, electric light surged around Li Enkai, and several thunder snakes drilled into Gou Dabao's acupoints, forming multiple layers of restrictions, reinforcing Wang Qi's seal.

"Be very careful, once that power breaks free from the seal, Gou Dabao will be controlled once again. Besides, the power infused with the Immortal's thoughts in his body has high research value. Don't forget to report it."

"I understand." Li Enkai held the unconscious Gou Dabao. Gou Dabao, having been repeatedly struck by Wang Qi and subjected to a vacuum environment under the condition of mana being sealed, was almost a dead man in urgent need of treatment. Li Enkai nodded at Wang Qi, saying: "If you, Daoist Fellow, need to come for experimental verification in the future, just let me know what you need and I will cooperate fully."

Wang Qi watched the other's departing back, smiling: "Come again in the future... I probably won't be coming back in the short term."

Saying this, other threads in his mind were analyzing the data he had just obtained.

This time, the data he obtained was indeed very rich. He once again witnessed the Divine Separation Sense Transformation, and due to the interference of the Banished Immortal, he collected a lot of data that is rarely seen. During the battle with Gou Dabao, he also realized more potential in the Dataized Cultivation Method.

Moreover, his understanding of consciousness algorithms and the Divine Plague Curse Technique also deepened, and he familiarized himself with some designs of backdoors embedded in cultivation techniques, verifying some of his previous ideas. Today, he was able to implant backdoors with an Artificial Law Foundation, and tomorrow, he would be able to set 'backdoors' in cultivation techniques, making others unconsciously cultivate vulnerabilities.

Now, it really was very easy for him to create harmful Law Gates.

Then, the ideas about the assistance of Outer Objects in Core Formation and Primordial Spirit also gradually became clear. Even a genius intending to verify his own Primordial Spirit like him needed this technology to ensure his Primordial Spirit was as ideal as designed and would use this technology!

"Indeed, the more people who practice my cultivation method, the more 'user feedback' I can get, and the more 'user feedback' I get, the more mature the cultivation technique becomes. And as the cultivation technique matures, naturally, it attracts more people to practice it. This is a virtuous cycle!"

"Promoting a cultivation technique is indeed quite important."

Such a thought flashed through Wang Qi's mind.

Next, he would need a long period to absorb and digest this harvest. Also, to perfect his cultivation method from the Golden Core Dao Primordial Spirit, setting his path.

—By the way, to conduct several experiments with the 'experimental animals' beside him...

Wang Qi, seated in the physical body at Langde City, flashed a mesmerizing smile.

As for the place where he would absorb and organize his harvest, of course, it would be the Ancient Method Immortal Sect!

"Now, I'm just waiting to set off, I wonder how the preparations are going on the teacher's side?"
