Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 836 - 165: The Death Knell Will Toll

When Feng Luoyi appeared beside the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror in the underground of Leiyang, over twenty Carefree Practitioners were already standing in the secret chamber that housed the mirror.

Among these Carefree Practitioners, those from the Wanfa Sect occupied the majority. They were most sensitive to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm and could best feel the seriousness of the situation. Those who relied on their own cultivation to not immediately retreat were also mostly from the Wanfa Sect.

Aside from the Wanfa Sect, the worldly Carefree Practitioners from Tianling Ridge were also present. However, their expressions looked much better than those from the Wanfa Sect. Under the Heavenly Selection God Monarch, all cultivators from Tianling Ridge were normal people and not pretentious professionals; instead, they were aware of relying on professionals.

Aside from the worldly Carefree Practitioners from the two sects, the Wave Motion Lord guarding a secret realm along with a group of cultivators safeguarding the Immortal Path had also arrived. The Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm not only maintains daily communications for Shenzhou but is also a vast system spread throughout the Sun System. Those cultivators not present in this part of Heaven and Earth rely on the Illusion Realm for unimpeded communication with Shenzhou. The sudden collapse of the Illusion Realm also startled these Carefree Practitioners guarding the Immortal Path outside Shenzhou. They even thought some unknown Immortals bypassed the Immortal Path and descended directly on Shenzhou by crossing the Star Sea physically. Thus, aside from the Taoist Heavenly Venerable, the strongest among the guardians, the Wave Motion Lord, also came with some people to check the situation.

As Feng Luoyi finally showed up, Xi Baiche, the Master of Calculation, was the first to approach, asking, "Yue Han, what exactly happened?"

"Precisely, Brother Feng, I almost thought you were all captured by some Immortal!" Wave Motion Lord also drew near, questioning, "What exactly are you doing?"

Fairy Ruoche also queried, "Mr. Feng, what problem did you encounter earlier? Why..."

Feng Luoyi waved his hand and bowed his head to apologize to everyone, "Sorry, everyone, I underestimated the entire event this time. I had anticipated that things might get serious but didn't expect the situation to become like this."

"What exactly happened?"

"A highly disruptive thesis, extremely disruptive." Feng Luoyi hesitated for a moment, saying, "It might cause a great loss in the top combat power of our Immortal Alliance.... I can't explain it now."

Everyone stood still, looking at Feng Luoyi.

If something could be called "top combat power" by Feng Luoyi, it definitely wouldn't refer to ordinary Carefree Practitioners. Those who can bear this title are only those historical pinnacle cultivators, extraordinary people who led an era. However, even such geniuses can be limited by the Knowledge Barrier, gradually falling behind others in theoretical domains. Although they still possess top combat power, their theoretical prowess might not be at the forefront.

This cultivator, whose system might be overturned at any moment now...

Feng Luoyi sighed deeply, "Daoist Fellow Xue, please stay for a moment. This matter requires us to discuss it carefully."

"'Shape Comparison with the Mysterious Path'?" Wave Motion Lord Schrodinger almost laughed out loud, "Yue Han, you're mixing with that crowd from the Mysterious Palace, right? Hahahaha! No wonder your Dao Heart is unstable! I want to see who, who is so talented to suddenly puncture Bao'er's boast!"

"Enough, Daoist Fellow Xue, we must consider this matter carefully!" Feng Luoyi's figure turned and disappeared before the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror.

The Master of Calculation, Xi Baiche, walked up to Wave Motion Lord Schrodinger and laughed, "If Yue Han is correct, then let me first congratulate Daoist Fellow Ai."

Feng Luoyi, the great national chess master, and Xi Baiche, the Master of Calculation, are friends, but their stances differ in the dispute between the Taoist Heavenly Venerable and the Mysterious Lineage.

However, the primary domain for these two has always been mathematics. How materials circulate is only a verification of their mathematical application, combined with some interest, but not the Basic Path.

Wave Motion Lord laughed and cupped his hands, "Without the help of the Master of Calculation, the Guiyi Alliance's Shape Comparison lineage might not have today's achievements. It is truly a shared joy."

Not mentioning how many Carefree Practitioners talked, Feng Luoyi's consciousness returned once again to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. In this short time, the collapse of the Illusion Realm had already caused disastrous results. Thinking of this gives him a headache. He originally thought, no matter how disruptive Wang Qi's thesis was, the worst result would only be his own Dao Heart shaking, leading to his death and disappearance of the Dao. In that case, the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm would only have minor disturbances and wouldn't suffer today's great collapse.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qi's thesis not only directly pointed out flaws in the Master of Calculation but also exposed all the defects and loopholes of the current Illusion Realm at once. Many Path Ranks, which were previously not considered problematic, now looked extremely discordant, causing the entire Illusion Realm to be non-functional.

Feng Luoyi hadn't anticipated that Wang Qi's thesis could reach this extent.

"It can be foreseen... if the Wanfa Sect and the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion fully absorb and digest this thesis, there will be a significant leap in illusion technology and calculator Law Gate." Feng Luoyi smiled wryly, "But now... the stronger the essence of this thesis, the greater the damage it causes..."

Other matters are still manageable. Feng Luoyi forcibly disconnected most cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. Only four Sea God types, including Mi and Xi, were truly injured.

However, by doing this, the Immortal Alliance's biggest trump card against the Demon Clan was exposed. There might soon be new incidents in the Western Border. The strategy needs to be adjusted again.

Moreover, the Great Capital Governor's rampage caused the Heart Demon Curse Field to expand dramatically. Several towns and thirty-something villages around Divine Capital were affected, and all residents were marked with the Heart Demon Curse...

Although the power of the heart demon in the Divine Capital has become harmless due to the removal of some of its features, this matter might lead to resistance among the conservatives among mortals against the Supreme Heart Demon Mystic Net...

We also need to expand the Special Zone, extend the implementation projects, and reassure the populace. At the same time, we must reset the insurance mechanism of the Great Capital Governor to prevent such incidents from happening again...

Just listing the follow-up work plans took Feng Luoyi several hours.

By the time he pulled Schrodinger, the Wave Motion Lord, into the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, night had already fallen.

"Brother Feng, where is the paper? Can you finally let me see it now?" Schrodinger couldn't hide his delight: "After so many years, at last..."

"Just wait a bit longer." Feng Luoyi sat down expressionlessly, while secretly reinforcing the defenses of the room to prevent other cultivators skilled in Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm technology from "forcing" their way in.

After waiting for a while, two more Carefree Practitioners entered in succession. One was Fairy Ruoche from Genting Sect, and the other was He Wai'er, a direct disciple of the Master of Calculation, and the most talented among the next generation of Genting Sect disciples.

Unlike other Genting Sect disciples, He Wai'er did not reside at Wanfa Sect due to not being on good terms with his sect mates, but like the Wave Motion Lord and Taiyi Heavenly Venerable, he guarded the exit of the Immortal Path.

Seeing He Wai'er, Fairy Ruoche snorted, evidently dissatisfied with this senior brother who leaned towards Li Sect. He Wai'er, however, didn't mind and greeted with a smile.

It was at this moment that the Wave Motion Lord sensed that something was amiss.

He Wai'er could be considered, given his contributions to the Heavenly Material Circulation. But Fairy Ruoche, as the foremost female cultivator of Wanfa Sect, was purely a mathematician. If Feng Luoyi truly intended to gradually introduce a theory capable of overturning the Mysterious Path, the first person he should find shouldn't include Fairy Ruoche.

"Sorry, Brother Xue," Feng Luoyi sighed, "the person I'm actually looking for isn't you. I just... don't want another person to know. The impact of this paper is simply too overwhelming."

Schrodinger nodded, expressing his understanding. At the same time, his gaze swept over He Wai'er and Fairy Ruoche's faces, seemingly speculating something.

— Could it be that the dangerous person is... the Master of Calculation?

The other two Carefree Practitioners weren't fools and quickly thought of a certain possibility.

"Mr. Feng… are you saying…" Fairy Ruoche stood up excitedly, disbelief written all over her face: "You mean, Master's…"

"Master is in danger?" Compared to Fairy Ruoche, He Wai'er was much calmer and purer. This Genting disciple's thinking had long leaned towards Li Sect and was contrary to his mentor. Hearing that his mentor's theory was overturned, he did not feel any empathy. Yet, the teacher-student bond still existed between him and the Master of Calculation. His inquiry was purely out of concern for his mentor.

"Genting, is finished." Looking at He Wai'er and Fairy Ruoche, Feng Luoyi slowly and firmly spoke these four words.

"Mr. Feng, watch your words!" Fairy Ruoche suppressed her anger. To her, the Master of Calculation, Xi Baiche, who initially appreciated her talent, led her to the Immortal Path, and insisted on taking her as a disciple, was almost like a father.

"I said, Genting is finished." Feng Luoyi repeated immediately what he had just said: "The Genting Sect's reputation will inevitably decline, and also, the metamathematics matter Xi Baiche has poured decades of heart power into is also done for! The second problem of Ximen's twenty-three problems has been completely resolved, but in a manner entirely contrary to his expectations!"

"Impossible!" Fairy Ruoche categorically denied. Meanwhile, He Wai'er had already asked the critical question: "The second problem? The compatibility of arithmetic axioms? Wasn't this proven a few years ago?"

"That was accomplished using transfinite induction, bypassing certain difficulties. However, Ximen Master felt it wasn't ideal and wanted to use proof theory for verification." Feng Luoyi sighed, "This time, someone has completely negated his path."

He Wai'er asked, "May I take a look at the paper?"

Feng Luoyi did not provide a single paper but instead sent over many papers together to He Wai'er: "Read these carefully and think deeply… Even though you are a Li Sect adherent, I cannot allow you direct access; it's too dangerous."

He Wai'er swiftly browsed through these papers. At first, he slightly frowned: "Why are they all… marginal studies? And what significance do these methods hold?"

The research direction of the Bourbaki School was also inclined towards Li Sect, similarly unappreciated by Lian Sect.

"Take a good look. Before long, these will become mainstream."
