Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 806 - 135: Loose Ends

After a messy round of greetings, everyone finally got to know each other.

At the same time, they learned from Mi's words what Wang Qi had just been up to.

Everyone's expressions immediately turned horrified.

Su Junyu stared at Wang Qi, incredulous: "I mean you... I mean you... this... this... I had thought about this kind of thing myself..."

At this point, everyone's gazes, like pins, were all focused on Su Junyu.

"Don't look at me like that!" Su Junyu exclaimed, "After learning about Junior Sister Ai's research, I considered this possibility. But at that time, my thought was 'who but a madman would do such a thing'?"

With that, everyone's eyes returned to Wang Qi.

Just this madman.

Chen Feng was the first to propose a guess: "Wang Qi, did you perhaps... have your brain fried during Core Formation?"

Three years of Qi Cultivation, six years of Foundation Establishment, nine years to Core Formation, this is a necessary process. If it exceeds this period, the gradual change in thinking cannot keep up with the mutation of thought organs.

On this point, Mi felt she had a lot to say: "Although a special method was used, the process was broadly tested on me. I think... there shouldn't be any major issues, that's just how this guy is."

Speaking of "nature," both Chen Feng and Chen Youjia couldn't help but recall the "Heart Demon Curse" Wang Qi created in the Divine Capital, and the chaos that curse had incited, nodding unconsciously.

Xi grinned: "But, that result was very much a failure, right..."

Chen Youjia was more concerned about another word: "'On you'?"

"In any case, there's absolutely no issue with this matter." Wang Qi insisted forcefully, "I, absolutely, have no issue."

Chen Feng scratched his head: "I think you should go and see our seniors at the Yangshen Pavilion."

Mi also nodded: "In short, the influence of that attempt on you is unknown. I also think you should go to the Yangshen Pavilion for a comprehensive 'Dao Heart Test.'"

"Absolutely, no major problems will arise." Wang Qi reiterated.

"I hope so..." Mi shook her head, then reached out her hand: "Hand over that sword you're holding—don't try to evade it, I mean the Moonset Glaze."

Wang Qi warily hugged the Moonset Glaze Sword: "Senior Sister, what do you intend to do?"

"You can't hold onto that sword anymore." Mi said, "Keeping this power by your side is too dangerous. No one knows what strange things you might do with that sword. I can't watch you all the time. Hand it over!"

"Hey, hey, Senior Sister, what can you do without the calculator?"

"I can't, but Xi can." Mi said, "Hand it over."

At this moment, the Moonset Glaze loudly spoke through Spiritual Sense Transmission: "You kid, and that Mi over there, get this straight! I'm not your personal sword! Not your household Magic Artifact! Don't act like I can be casually handed over!"

Wang Qi sighed: "Alright, alright, as I said before, this matter should indeed be up to you."

Wang Qi handed the Moonset Glaze Sword to Mi. In Mi's hands, the sword flickered a few times. Then, Wang Qi felt that the connection between him and the Moonset Glaze Sword was cut off by half. He could no longer summon the power of the Moonset Glaze Sword, but the Moonset Glaze Sword could still draw the Life Flame from him—Mi seemed to have forcefully set up a one-way belief pathway. And once the Moonset Glaze transformed back to its Dragon Form, this last connection would also vanish.

Afterwards, Mi tossed the Moonset Glaze Sword into the sea. The blue sea water swirled, and Xi had already swept the Moonset Glaze Sword into the seabed, nurturing it slowly with its vast vitality.

The combined Life Flame of Wang Qi, the strength of Xi, and the recovery power of the Moonset Glaze Sword as a member of the Dragon Clan, should soon lead to its full recovery.

Everyone tacitly refrained from questioning Wang Qi about his reasons for venturing deep into the West Sea. Whether it's the Mi who appeared beside him, or the mysterious "Sword Spirit" Moonset Glaze, made them realize that Wang Qi's journey to the West Sea surely had a reason.

When Mi took away Wang Qi's control over the Moonset Glaze Sword, Wang Qi quietly tugged on Chen Feng, asking in a low voice: "By the way, why have all of you come to the West Sea?"

Chen Feng shook his head and explained the new trends caused by the Sea God Type that he knew about.

After learning about Ai Qinglan's accidental discovery of the Biological Calculator technology, Wang Qi felt something was peculiar.

Damn, since I created the dataized cultivation method that allowed "human and artifact to become one," I thought the Immortal Alliance would show some kind of supreme bias with "Supreme +1," but instead, there's a direct "Harmony +5," and they are about to achieve the "Alien New Nova," with the "Flower of the Soul" already in distant sight.

In a sense, the intent of the Immortal Alliance was similar to mine, likely aiming to establish a powerful network on this planet, throughout the solar system's other planets, at an incredibly low cost, using the Biological Calculators inspired by the Sea God Type, granting unparalleled strength, and even allowing certain needy individuals to collectively upload.

However, there's another thing that caught Wang Qi's attention.

Wang Qi pondered, "So you're saying, Senior Sister Mi and her group, they have only just recently emerged?"

In other words, the Immortal Alliance has been continuously utilizing the "Dragon Dao" and "Immortal Path" and can now penetrate far into the stars.

But this raises new questions for him.

When did the Immortal Alliance start using the Immortal Path to explore the universe?

It certainly wasn't just now, right? According to Yue Luo Liu Li, the Immortal Alliance took over the Immortal Path from the Dragon Clan several hundred years ago. Even if it took them one or two hundred years to figure out how to use the Immortal Path, they still had one or two hundred years to explore the universe. Even if the Immortal Path is difficult to wield, the Immortal Alliance should have already found more than one civilization.

But why is the only Sea God Type appearing openly in Shenzhou?

Could it be that the Immortal Alliance only found the Sea God Type? From what Wang Qi knows, the Sea God Type, with their innate saint-like nature and collective life, doesn't seem to be the mainstream of the universe. Among Shenzhou's six or seven-degree civilizations, only the second-degree Primordial Sea God has a collective intelligence similar to the Sea God Type. Whether it's the ancient Dragon Clan or the Stone Demon, they're all individual life beings.

It's impossible for the Immortal Alliance to have randomly found such a rare species, right? The odds are really too small.

Is it because only the Sea God Type can form a "complement" with the Immortal Alliance?

Or... is it really as he believes, that throughout the universe, the Ancient Method is actually the mainstream law, while Shenzhou's Modern Method and the Sea God Type from unknown planets are just rare exceptions?

Chen Youjia tugged at Wang Qi's sleeve, "Hey, what are you thinking?"

"Nothing," Wang Qi blinked. Maybe these partners in front of him have already been exposed to the secrets at the level of the "Sea God Type," but the secrecy level of the "Immortal Path" is obviously higher.

Chen Feng nudged Wang Qi's side, "Speaking of which, what are you planning to do next?"

The implication being—won't you join us?

Though Wang Qi's knack for causing trouble is top-notch, his research abilities are indeed impressive!

Wang Qi frowned, "Well... I'll think about it. But first, I need to ask the higher-ups, if I participate, does this count as being in the applied mathematics domain or the life beings domain?" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This time, Chen Feng also showed a pained expression, "Almost forgot, the shame of the life beings domain..."

"Hey, I heard that."

Wang Qi kicked Chen Feng angrily.

Su Junyu pointed to the butterfly group above, "By the way, don't you think it's too conspicuous? Besides, where did you find the time to refine so many mechanical beasts?"

"This is one of my cultivation methods' wonders. To me, it's simple." Wang Qi said with pride, "As for how to deal with it... The Flow Control series of mechanical beasts are very delicate when not in use. The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion even suggests doing dust-free processing when possible. They can't just be randomly piled in a storage bag. But those large storage bags with shelves are expensive and specially made. As I see it now, I can only find a warehouse to store them."

After greeting everyone, Ai Qinglan and the others returned to the Empirical Department. Chen Feng pointed the way to Wang Qi. They all had their own matters to attend to, and so did Wang Qi. He needed to deal with the aftermath of his West Sea trip.

First, Wang Qi found a large, high-standard warehouse in the Western Border and stored those Flow Control mechanisms in it. Once inside the warehouse, these mechanical beasts folded their wings and lay flat on the ground, layered upon each other. Wang Qi casually dissipated the consciousness flowing among the butterfly group and let his cloud intelligence rest, leaving only a mana seal within the butterflies.

It was only after finishing this task that he returned to his residence. This house hadn't been occupied for almost a month and was covered in a thick layer of dust. With a sweep of his mana, Wang Qi quickly cleared the floating dust away. He twisted his neck and sighed, "It's good to be back."

The feeling of going out to sea and fighting a bunch of seafood wasn't pleasant.

Wang Qi lay on his bed, rolled around a few times, then sat back at his desk and took out paper and pen, "Relaxation over, time to do what I should be doing."

It had been a while since he last wrote a paper. Today he would write with abandon!

In mathematics, which greatly emphasizes thought, writing papers is both easy and difficult. It's easy because there are so many topics to research in this field. Aside from famous conjectures, there are countless topics to choose from.

Take Earth People, for example; Tao Zhexuan is how old? Yet he's already published well over a hundred papers.

This was one of the reasons Wang Qi initially chose to develop within the Wanfa Sect.

And he had a piece of consciousness that had reincarnated countless times within Mi's imagined space. Although, during these reincarnations, Wang Qi devoted most of his energy to cultivation with only a tiny portion left for thinking, still, it gave him boundless inspiration. Especially the maverick ideas in those rebellious instances and the mathematical problems that arose while applying those ideas, those were prime material.

Wang Qi wrote vigorously. But it wasn't long—at least rarely long in Wang Qi's mind—before someone knocked on his door.

Wang Qi opened the door, and a flash of orange jumped into his arms, "Xiao Qi meow!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote with recommendation and monthly tickets on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
