Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 914 - 243: Heading East, No Old Friends Beyond the Pass

On this night, the moon was bright and the stars sparse, yet nearly all history books of later generations described this night as "the dimming of heaven and earth" and "a change in the complexion of all living things."

The era when the Master of Calculation led the Wanfa Sect, along with the mathematics system symbolizing that era and based on Set Theory, died on this night.

In the latter half of the night, as the upheaval caused by the lecture had not yet subsided, the main character and core figure of this turmoil, Wang Qi, dressed in a black robe, carrying Mi, followed another Grandmaster and used a transmission array to arrive at a small branch forum.

This branch forum was very small, with only one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator resident.

The Grandmaster who brought Wang Qi sighed lightly, looked at Wang Qi, and said, "Daoist Fellow Wang, I don't understand why the upper echelons sent a genius disciple like you to carry out such a task. However, you are this generation's most likely to achieve Carefree Travel in the Immortal Alliance, and probably the one to achieve supreme Carefree Travel. This time, you must be careful and not take unnecessary risks."

This Grandmaster was not Liu Yi, whom Wang Qi was familiar with. Although most of Wang Qi's affairs were handled by Master Liu, he truly couldn't come this time—as he was also a member of the Wanfa Sect and unfortunately sustained serious injuries during Wang Qi's lecture.

However, even though he was not from the Wanfa Sect, he was also immersed in the philosophical shock brought about by that lecture. Therefore, he could not understand why the Immortal Alliance would send such a promising talent, who was certain to achieve Carefree Travel, to execute such a life-threatening task.

"Thank you for the reminder, teacher." Wang Qi was a little embarrassed to say he was undertaking an extinction battle.

"Additionally, there is another instruction from above. Don't harm the mortals on that side. Leave as many below the Nascent Soul Stage as you can. Completely eliminate those beyond the Divine Separation Stage."

Wang Qi nodded to indicate his understanding.

Lian Xinjie and Lian Xinling were already waiting there. As soon as they saw Wang Qi, they exclaimed, "You are…"

"Wang Qi." Wang Qi touched his face. Considering he had just shown his face across all of Shenzhou, he couldn't underestimate the intelligence capabilities of overseas Ancient Method Practitioners. Before setting out, he had specially asked Mi to use Transformation Divine Power to change his facial appearance.

Transformation Divine Power cannot completely transform one's appearance to emulate another person's, but it can completely change one's look. For example, the gene determining the "double eyelid" trait is recessive, but through Transformation Divine Power, it can be made dominant.

Moreover, by altering his body at the cellular level, consciously consuming or generating fat, Wang Qi could make his face look like another person.

Furthermore, there were no traces of disguise whatsoever.

Lian Xinjie then looked at the Mi Wang Qi was holding. Now Mi appeared as a five or six-year-old girl, looking purely like a burden. Lian Xinjie frowned and said, "Daoist Fellow Wang, what is this…"

"Ahem." Wang Qi emphasized, "From now on, I'm called Xia Li, and this is my sister Xia Mi. I'm just someone fleeing with my family to an overseas Immortal Sect. Remember that."

Lian Xinling angrily said, "You brought a little girl… Don't you know, this is not a game!"

"Relax, 'little girl'." Mi said calmly, "If we are talking about actual age, I'm at least a hundred times older than you."

The maximum lifespan at the Golden Core Stage is less than a thousand years. Mi's lifespan is at least two to three orders of magnitude higher than that of the Golden Core Stage.

"Is she... a Great Demon transformed into a human form?" Lian Xinjie naturally deduced.

This… this guy is merely a Golden Core Stage disciple, yet he can run around carrying a Great Demon that's at least beyond Transformation?

"This transformation is flawless; not even the Holy Emperor Venerable can see through it." Wang Qi emphasized, "Remember, from now on, we are siblings; my superficial identity is that of a disciple secretly cultivated by your father outside. Now, having resolved my worldly ties on the mainland, I'm taking my sister to the Immortal Sect. The specifics, you don't know much about."

This rationale was devised by Zhen Chan along with others familiar with the situations on the Ancient Method Practitioner's side.

Though not flawless, it will not raise unnecessary suspicion.

After bidding farewell to the Grandmaster, Wang Qi asked Lian Xinjie, "Alright, how should we proceed next?"

"Head east." Lian Xinjie said, "The Western Border's defense line is very tight, with numerous Guardian Envoys frequently patrolling, and there are many Void Refining Cultivators guarding the maritime front, making it impossible to pass. In contrast, the East Sea of Shenzhou is only suppressed by the Fusang Thousand Mechanism Pavilion; circumnavigating carefully will ensure no problems arise."

Holy Dragon Abyss unfortunately resides in the West Sea, so the Dragon Clan keeps a particularly close watch on the West Sea. As for the East Sea, the Dragon Clan doesn't emphasize it as much. Thus, the Immortal Alliance had already cleared out the East Sea Sea Demons a hundred years ago, taking it into their possession.

However, to the Ancient Method Practitioners, it became the more easily accessible side.

Wang Qi pondered for a moment, then stated, "You are the expert in this; following you is the right choice. Lead the way."

About three days later, in Geting House, the Calculation Lord Xi Baiche was packing his things.

He had stayed in this study for hundreds of years. There were already countless traces belonging to him here. And now, he was going to pack up these personal belongings and take them away.

Of course, he would also leave some things. For instance, the books he had authored, the articles he'd written. However, the stationery tools he frequently used and the notes recording his personal thoughts had to be taken away.

All the other cultivators from Geting Sect quietly watched this elder.

Finally, he took a brass key from his bosom, handed it to He Wai'er, and smilingly said, "Alright, child, this place is yours now."

This key was the key to the interior of Geting House.

Geting's Study was divided into inner and outer parts. The outer part was an ordinary living room and tea room; everyone had this key. The inner part housed the Library Pavilion and a bedroom. That was the place for the Master of Geting House.

Since the time of the Calculation King Gao Si, this brass key had already been passed down for four or five generations.

It's hard to imagine that the symbol of leadership for Geting Sect, occupying half of the Wanfa Sect's territory, was just a brass key devoid of any spiritual properties.

Or rather, the Geting Sect has never needed any locks or formations for defense. The mere name of "Geting Sect" is enough to deter all scoundrels.

He Wai'er accepted the brass key with mixed feelings. He is a disciple of the Master of Calculation, and even if their ideologies differ, he regards the Master like a father. He had imagined the day when he would take over this brass key.

But he had never imagined accepting the key under such circumstances.

"The Geting Sect really needs to change its ways," Xi Baiche sighed. "This time, I nearly led the Geting Sect down a dead-end. It's not right."

"If you understand, let's not have factions like 'leaving the sect' and 'staying in the sect' anymore within the Geting Sect. Also, do not let a single core dominate everything like it was during my time…"

...

The Master of Calculation continued to ramble about many things.

"Teacher…" "Master…" "Old Sect Master…"

Xi Baiche laughed heartily, "Alright, alright. No need for such expressions. I'm merely suffering from a collapse of the Dao heart, I'm not dying."

"Now that your Dao heart is collapsed, your strength is less than a tenth. You must be very cautious in the West Sea… The strong ones of the Dragon Clan are unlike the Ancient Method Practitioners and are not to be trifled with…" Ai Ruochi couldn't help but say.

"You're Master is quite fond of life." Xi Baiche replied lightheartedly, "For a cultivator with a long lifespan, having longevity within reach means endless possibilities to me!"

——As long as I stay alive, there will always be a day to rebuild the Dao heart.

When the Master of Calculation walked out of the Wanfa Sect's mountain gate, the Mathematics Lord was stepping in from outside.

At the mountain gate of Wanfa Sect, two generations of prodigies passed by each other.

It was like the intersection of two eras.

The Master of Calculation continued walking as if even his lifelong rival couldn't draw his attention. The Mathematics Lord showed a hint of disdain.

"Kid, in this matter, I look down on you."

The Mathematics Lord was over two hundred years older than the Master of Calculation.

Xi Baiche smiled, not looking back.

Pang Jialai returned to his study with a sullen face and said to his few colleagues, "The one who left the sect, meeting such an end now, is a warning for you all. Remember, don't think you are really getting close to the Great Dao."

Someone asked, "Mathematics Lord, what are your plans after this?"

"I have recently realized some interesting things." The Mathematics Lord smiled, "When I was studying the 'Three-Body Problem' over a hundred years ago, I devised some mathematical tools. Recently, while manipulating celestial bodies 'outside', I've gained some new insights."

——I am not like that Xi Baiche.

——Even today, I am constantly getting closer to the Great Dao!

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The moon in the sky had gone through another cycle of fullness and waning. In no time, over a month had passed.

Over a month had passed since the great collapse of the Wanfa Sect.

The low-level cultivators of the Wanfa Sect had returned to their usual path. Meanwhile, the high-level cultivators were gradually recovering.

During this period, many significant events occurred in Shenzhou. Many of them were closely related to the Wanfa Sect.

The Master of Calculation left the Wanfa Sect in desolation, while the Mathematics Lord took charge of Shenzhou again. During these days, the Mathematics Lord's Shaoli Sect and the remnants of the Geting Sect, along with Feng Luoyi and Master Turing, who had left the Geting Sect, had tense standoffs. However, the disputes between leaving the sect and staying in the sect were yet to erupt, as the Wanfa Sect had just been purged.

On the other hand, the Mathematics Lord seems to be brewing new mathematics.

No one knows what the Mathematical Tyrant, who has reigned over the Wanfa Sect for hundreds of years, is now planning to unleash.

In the ruins bombarded by incompleteness and the principle of non-binary, countless mathematical reasonings were emerging.

Among them, the most striking was the resolution of the first question in Ximen's twenty-three questions.

The proof of the continuous set hypothesis.

Wanfa Sect's true disciple Su Junyu also jumped to become the second person among Wanfa Sect's true disciples in nearly a hundred years with this proof.

As for the first, of course, it was Wang Qi, who had intimidated numerous Carefree true disciples of Wanfa Sect more than a month ago.

Even the Mathematics Lord back in the day was nothing more than this.

However, during this cycle of change in the Wanfa Sect, the first person, Wang Qi, seemed to be completely silent.

No one knows that on a small island at least thirty thousand miles away from Shenzhou, Wang Qi is unfolding his new legend.
