Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 811 - 140: Calm After the Storm

Wang Qi was clear that the experimental sample Ai Qinglan gave him was naturally not something good.

Every day, Ai Qinglan induced mutations to create several new varieties, and she had more defective ones than excellent ones. Wang Qi knew that the sample he had was likely one of the problematic batch—either short-lived or with weak reproductive capacity.

However, Wang Qi didn't care. He only needed to understand the larger structure of these small "computing units."

This was the transformation state he was preparing for his future.

After putting what he wanted back into the storage bag, Wang Qi pushed the door open and walked out. While moving his hands, he contemplated whether to communicate with Chen Feng or to talk with Su Junyu next.

He was truly unique, potentially the only one among the entire Human Clan in eighty thousand years who could achieve "Divine Separation Sense Transformation" and "Unity of Magic and Self" during the Golden Core Stage. Precisely because of this, he suddenly didn't know how to proceed to the next step.

If he were to normally break the Heavenly Barrier, that would be too easy. The inclusiveness of the Golden Core formed on the basis of calculators and Heavenly Calculation was infinitely strong. Wang Qi now had many Primordial Spirit options to choose from. His control power over his own mana had long surpassed the limit of what could be achieved during the Golden Core Stage, far exceeding the minimum standard required for the Primordial Spirit Stage. With the training within the Imagined Space, he even had some confidence to break the Heavenly Barrier in a short time.

However, doing so would waste the advantages he had now. It would be equivalent to him squandering all the advantages he had obtained.

He needed an entirely new Primordial Spirit Skill suitable for himself.

This was what he was most lacking at present. Not having cultivated within the sect for five years meant his understanding of the "cultivation technique" as a technology was not deep enough. The existing system was not yet fully learned, so there was naturally no way to surpass the current system to complete a "technical revolution."

After all, a "technical revolution" is not something that can be accomplished by one person alone. Watt invented the steam engine, but without a large group of engineers, including George Stephenson, applying his invention to various fields, and without the push from a significant number of capitalists, the First Industrial Revolution would not have happened. Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, and Maxwell perfected electromagnetic theory, but if it weren't for engineers led by Edison, the so-called "Electric Era" would not have emerged either.

For Wang Qi, the best way to explore the path was to persuade the Immortal Alliance to shift resources toward the development of dataized cultivation methods, using public resources to develop his cultivation techniques.

As for methods to get the Immortal Alliance to allocate resources, Wang Qi could only think of two at present.

The first is to prove the superiority of this cultivation method. As long as he could prove that he is the strongest Golden Core cultivator in history, the genuine Shenzhou's First Golden Core, and also possesses the tremendous ability to manipulate magic artifacts and control the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, this could probably be achieved.

The second is to prove the scalability of this cultivation method. As long as he could allow thousands of cultivators who practiced the dataized cultivation method to easily achieve Golden Core, and each one being above average, then there is a ninety percent chance that this could succeed.

However, the difficulty of this matter is both significant and insignificant.

Just in terms of combat achievements, Wang Qi felt there probably wasn't a Golden Core cultivator stronger than him. He even had several lives of Divine Separation Stage cultivators and Divine Power Demon Beasts under his belt. But achieving this was under the blessing of Moonset Glaze Sword, Flow Control's five insect swarms, and the Heart Demon Curse; thus, it might not be convincing.

As for challenging fellow cultivators... unfortunately, the Modern Immortal Dao does not emphasize combat power but focuses more on research. Therefore, there are no authoritative institutions that deliberately rank something like the "Crouching Dragon List" or "Phoenix Hatchling List." Perhaps some idle folks have made such lists in the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, but they are as unconvincing as Internet users on Earth ranking "my top ten scientists in my heart."

As for the latter, it is similarly difficult. Nowadays, choosing a cultivation method is like selecting textbooks in university; it either relies on the Immortal Alliance's designation or the recommendation of a master. DIY methods exist, but there are rarely any treated as the main cultivation technique. A Golden Core cultivation method created by Wang Qi, a Golden Core cultivator... thinking about it seems quite unreliable.

This is the difficulty Wang Qi currently faces.

According to Wang Qi's current thoughts, his best approach is to take the second path, wait for more cultivators to join in, and then start a "crowdfunding."

However, this matter should still be carefully planned...

While Wang Qi was calculating, Su Junyu suddenly appeared, grabbed Wang Qi, and said, "Wait a minute..."

At this time, Su Junyu was disheveled, with sunken eyes, and the qi intent around him was vaguely chaotic. Wang Qi was startled and asked, "What on earth is going on?"

"Your damn paper caused it..." Su Junyu was a bit annoyed: "Just by reading your damn paper, I began to doubt my past. Damn it..."

Wang Qi looked and found that Su Junyu was talking about his paper on DH—Multi-History Decoherence.

"Decoherence" isn't a particularly novel concept in Shenzhou. It's present in explanations buried within the interpretations of wave function collapse. It's just that no one paid attention to it.

After all, before Wang Qi, there was only the "Observer Effect" explanation corresponding to such divine skills.

Wang Qi frowned: "What's going on with you...?"

"What else could it be?" Su Junyu said, "Infinite Heavenly Venerable... Infinite Heavenly Venerable... How did you come up with this thing?"

Wang Qi was embarrassed: "Actually, it was just... just a random thought..."

The original inspiration for multi-history decoherence came from multi-world decoherence, but in Shenzhou, multi-world decoherence seems... hasn't appeared yet? Or it's so obscure that Wang Qi hasn't even heard of it?

"A random thought?" Su Junyu exclaimed: "How did you think of it? This... this unparalleled mathematical model, this rigorous proof process... And, and you even changed the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword!"

"It's nothing special..."

Su Junyu's voice suddenly raised by eight degrees: "You call this 'nothing special'? You've added a sword technique with a weighted value of ten to the Immortal Alliance's arsenal!"

"I'm just standing on the shoulders of others..."

Wang Qi remained calm. Among many explanations, currently, only the "Observer Effect" has a corresponding sword technique. This makes the Observer Effect explanation overwhelmingly dominant.

And Wang Qi's paper, along with the corresponding Indeterminate Cause Sword, fundamentally shook the status of the Observer Effect! Certainly, Wang Qi's experience on Earth and knowledge of further physics development contributed to this, but it also proved his extraordinary talent.

However, Wang Qi was very calm about this: "I submitted this paper not just yesterday or today, do you think there's been any big reaction from above?"

"What big reaction?"

"For instance, the Quantum Venerable Master suddenly completely overpowering Taiyi Heavenly Venerable, or Taiyi Heavenly Venerable returning and sneering at his old rival, something like that."

Su Junyu shook his head: "No... but doesn't this not explain much?"

"No, no, no, this explains a lot." Wang Qi waggled his finger: "Do you remember the attitude within the Wanfa Sect when I wrote that paper on the Completeness Law?"

"Within Wanfa Sect... Oh my, it was really turbulent at that time, within Wanfa Sect, the first thing people asked when meeting was 'Are you a member of the Li Sect or the Lian Sect?', to avoid realizing halfway through a conversation that their views clashed, and quite a few senior brothers even changed their residences just to not live with those from the other side..." Su Junyu shivered at the memory of the storm about five or six years ago: "You kid, you were quite something, right? Back then, you were only in the Qi Cultivation Stage, weren't you?"

"That's because I'm a genius." Wang Qi shamelessly tapped his head, then said: "Do you know why that paper received such a huge reaction?"

"Why?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Because the Completeness Law was real, capable of breaking the balance between Master of Calculation and Mathematics Lord." Wang Qi said, "The Master of Calculation and Mathematics Lord, in a sense, represent the current Li Sect and Lian Sect. As long as one side can defeat the other in arguments, the Li Sect or Lian Sect will be unable to raise their heads for nearly a century. And my paper was exactly strong support for one side."

"But your current paper is so calm..."

"Yes, it doesn't have any 'decisive effect'." Wang Qi laughed: "The lineage of the Mysterious Palace didn't get to where it is today just by relying on the so-called observers. The description of the microcosm doesn't solely rely on the so-called 'observer'."

Quantum mechanics, after all, is a dynamic description of microscopic matters. The "Observer Effect" is not the entirety of quantum mechanics.

"The core mystery of quantum mechanics cannot be resolved through any 'interpretation'; all we can express is how quantum mechanics operates. Whether it's the observer or multi-history decoherence, they're merely different qualitative descriptions of the same phenomenon; whether it's the Indeterminate Cloud Sword or the Indeterminate Cause Sword, they're both macro representations of the same microscopic phenomenon."

"As for the significance of this qualitative description—currently, it doesn't have much significance to the theoretical system as a whole."

Su Junyu was somewhat puzzled: "Then why do you propose a new interpretation?"

"Just personal preference, perhaps?" Wang Qi shook his head: "To me, humanity's newness doesn't hold a special place in this nature. It's neither supreme nor is it inferior to everything. It's just an ordinary thing—just like the so-called 'Heaven and Earth are merciless, treating all things as straw dogs', beneath the Great Dao, all things are treated equally. I don't like interpretations that elevate human will to a decisive position."

In fact, this world has also reached this stage. For the so-called explanation of wave function collapse, not many care about it anymore. The "wave function collapse" itself is what matters most. Who cares about the interpretation debate?

Of course, it's not entirely without meaning.

In fact, the exploration of this phenomenon might lead to some other outcomes.

—For instance, the Bell Inequality, which could truly end the Indeterminate-Mysterious dispute.
