Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 977 - 62: Emperor’s Law

The "first type phenomenon" is a cue defined by Wang Qi himself, akin to his personal habitual code.

The so-called "first type phenomenon" doesn't refer to any specific occurrence but rather means "unless it's a matter of life and death, put it down immediately! This phenomenon is very important!"

Incidentally, Wang Qi also set up a "zero type phenomenon" alert. That refers to "even if you're about to be chopped down, you must care about that side! If this phenomenon isn't controlled, Shenzhou will be destroyed"... ahem, Wang Qi set this alarm out of a scientist's sense of responsibility, and it hasn't triggered yet—hoping that some Great Power can bless that this alert dialog never appears.

Wang Qi immediately put down his work and asked, "Old Jia?"

Wang Qi's view was immediately covered by several interfaces. Several curves were growing. After surpassing a certain threshold, the curves suddenly ceased to be smooth and became violent.

"Hmm..." Wang Qi stood up: "I remember this data's dependent variable is... those 'users' within the 'mobile network card' started 'networking'?"

"Users" naturally refers to those people Wang Qi "endowed" with systems. And "network card" is a codename for the product of the Holy Emperor Venerable's Fallen Cultivator Method. Because Wang Qi doesn't know the specific name of that method, nor its results, he chose a designation. As for "networking," it's purely jargon.

If translated into words understandable by general Shenzhou Cultivators, it would probably be—Holy Emperor Venerable's method's mystery has been revealed.

The next minute, a strange model appeared before Wang Qi. It was highly abstract, and without specialized study, ordinary people wouldn't even think this image is meant to depict cultivation or practicion.

But actually, this belongs to a relatively high-end mathematical tool used to express practicion.

However, compared to formulas, this type of graphic is too rigid and not suitable for describing the flexible and changeable cultivation, so it's mostly used to depict a specific cultivator's state at a certain moment.

And at this moment, the rapidly changing image made Wang Qi feel a sense of familiarity.

"Interacting with the outside world, reducing one's entropy... this has already become a characteristic of life..."

"If defined in the broadest sense, life is a negative entropy system, then this mana system can be said to have obtained life..."

"No no, currently it hasn't shown self-replicating ability, it can only be said it exhibits some characteristics of life... which means this thing should be at the level between complex organism and primitive life."

"After surpassing a certain threshold, or spontaneously evolving for a few days, it can achieve this level? Too... this is just too miraculous..."

This is simply a method to seize creation!

Nature from inorganic to organic, has undergone changes over ten billion years—in this universe, this process might be faster, but not by much.

Under laboratory conditions, Earth people can synthesize simple proteins from inorganic matter within seven days.

If cost is ignored, Earth can barely piece together cells using biological macromolecules.

"Creating life" is actually not that difficult.

The difficult part is consciously creating specific life.

The Holy Emperor Venerable's method only needs a few days to transform a person's mana into a spiritual body akin to life beings, and it can also ensure this spiritual body has a certain special function... this method is simply somewhat appalling.

Wang Qi's Life Flame is a manifest of negative entropy, is the essence of life, he too can imbue lifeless matter with vitality, but he himself cannot guarantee what his creation will be like.

In this aspect, Holy Emperor Venerable achieved it. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Wang Qi asked: "This... which experiment subject is this? Which system are they interacting with? Is it my Virtual Divine Country, or Holy Emperor Venerable's Divine Country Cultivation?"

"Virtual Divine Country, teacher." Jarvis replied: "The first to complete was experimental subject number five, Xiao Zong, and the next is experimental subject number seven, Zhou Sihong. Currently, only these two individuals completed this step."

Wang Qi frowned and asked: "Are there any of the remaining ten showing this trend?"

"Unknown."

"Unknown?" Wang Qi was surprised: "Why? Didn't those two experiment subjects show any patterns?"

"This change probably occurs suddenly after surpassing a certain threshold. It's a difficult-to-predict 'divergence,' teacher." Jarvis replied: "My algorithm is not yet equipped to handle this issue."

"Okay, I understand all that you do. The mathematical problems you can't handle, I probably can't either. Which means that currently this 'threshold,' at this stage is unpredictable..." Wang Qi's finger gently tapped his temple: "This can be considered one of the characteristics of a Divine Spirit... Overall it still reflects a certain level of chaos, even small disturbances can cause significant differences..."

Wang Qi suspected that Holy Emperor Venerable's power-requisition method will inevitably lead to absorbing external forces to strengthen oneself, but exactly when this characteristic appears is difficult to say.

Wang Qi asked, "Now, where is Xiao Zong?"

"On the square at the entrance of the Sword Palace."

"When did he start showing those signs?"

"About two hours ago."

......

"Huff... huff..." Xiao Zong was already in front of the Yin Yang Taiji Stele at the entrance of the Sword Palace, performing the Basic Sword Dance for the thirty-ninth time.

With his realm, he had long surpassed the level of Basic Sword Technique. However, his task today was to perform the entry-level sword technique 'Taiji Divine Fist Sword' fifty times.

This strange behavior attracted quite a few sideways glances. Some fellow Golden Core Stage cultivators secretly mocked him. However, several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators nodded in approval, saying, "This child is not bad; he seems to be on the verge of understanding the next level of swordsmanship. What a pity..."

—If we hadn't already decided to join the heterodox and enjoy the prosperity of Shenzhou later, we could have nurtured him a bit...

If Xiao Zong knew the content of the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators' discussion, he would likely laugh out loud three times.

He felt that he wasn't just about to understand; he had "already understood"!

When he first started the task of performing the sword fifty times, he was unwilling. However, being a core disciple of Luochen Sword Palace, he soon immersed himself in the sword dance. Just moments ago, he suddenly felt a lightness in his body, invigorated as if breaking through some mystical, indescribable barrier.

Now, he only felt an invisible force entering his body, endlessly fueling his mana, invigorating his energy, and naturally granting him a radiant spirit. At the same time, his heart felt a tremendous sense of freedom, as if shedding some unspeakable shackles.

—Is this... the legendary Unity of Heaven and Man?

—My current realm is beyond the comprehension of anyone at the same stage!

At this moment, he saw a detestable figure approaching from a distance. This person seemed to carry a terrifying poison, causing everyone to avoid him. As he walked in a direction, the crowd in that area automatically parted like air.

Xia Li approached, looked at Xiao Zong, and calmly asked, "Just now, in this place, there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy in the heavens and the earth. It seems another good swordsman had an enlightenment. Who was it?"

Wang Qi's nonsense made many Nascent Soul Stage cultivators exchange glances, thinking: Why didn't I notice!

However, since Wang Qi had actually grasped the authority of the Luochen Sword Palace, they were not in a position to speak against him.

Xiao Zong sneered, a battle intent rising in his heart: "Perfect timing. I just comprehended a new mental realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, harnessing mysterious power; you'll serve well as a stepping stone to validate my swordsmanship!"

In his fervor, he openly accepted Xia Li's challenge by revealing his identity!

Wang Qi continued to play the role of Xia Li, with unwavering eyes, drew a long sword pointed straight at Xiao Zong, while inwardly thinking: "Hmm, this kind of miraculous transformation affects the spirit, making a person appear exuberant. For now, it seems overly excitable, causing a loss of judgment..."

The surrounding people continued to mutter, "How could Xia Li be like this..." "What a martial madman." However, Xiao Zong seemed to have envisioned himself defeating this genius Xia Li, becoming the leader of the new generation of disciples at the Luochen Sword Palace! He swung his long sword, instantly drawing out a fierce sword wind, which connected with some unknown but existing "big trend," growing larger like a snowball. Yet, the sword qi of this strike became increasingly mysterious and vast with the grand sword momentum, having no specific form.

Wang Qi flipped his hand in a circle, creating a circle with his long sword, cleaving through the attack.

But meanwhile, more powerful and intense sword qi surged from within Xiao Zong.

Wang Qi squinted his eyes. His sensitivity to nature's spiritual energy far exceeded those of the Ancient Method Practitioners. He realized this guy wasn't genuinely connecting with the world but interacting with the Tai Chu Sword God Array, unleashing more formidable strength.

In the void, it seemed countless qi veins were hidden, connecting with Xiao Zong's own meridians, linking the inside and outside. The Tai Chu Sword God Array seemed to merge with the outer world of Xiao Zong.

If Xiao Zong's connection target wasn't the Tai Chu Sword God Array but was actually the grand universe, he could even be considered an Intermediate Skill Cultivator!

"Is the Holy Emperor Venerable's method for this purpose?"

"Does it transform a person's mana into a unique spiritual body that will also become part of the Divine Country System?"

Wang Qi's mind raced, yet he lifted his sword and slashed towards the opponent.

Xiao Zong, of course, refused to be outdone, his sword strikes elusive and indeterminate, elusive and untraceable. He seemed to transform into an intangible wind, gentle as a spring breeze, strong as a summer wind, clear as an autumn wind, and biting as a winter wind. The sword intent of the Tai Chu Sword God Array merged completely with him, resonating with the sword intents left by the three Great Elders and the multitude of disciples of the Sword Palace, making his figure appear as if it were in the distant Nine Heavens.

Wang Qi only felt countless sword qi storms surge from all directions. However, to continue observing the opponent's state, he formed a circle with his long sword, the sword light circling around, defensively.
