Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 860 - 189: The Ten-Thousand Mountains
Wang Qi now felt immensely fortunate. Half of the Spirit Power Field Heavenly Element Skill originates from the Heavenly Song Heavenly Element Path, and the other half derives from the Mysterious Path.
Whether it be the Maxwell's Electromagnetic Theory represented by the Heavenly Song Heavenly Element Path or the Quantum Mechanics represented by the Mysterious Path, they are both classic linear systems. If it were a nonlinear system, trying to retroactively calculate through disturbances in the Spirit Power Field would be an almost impossible task.
"Reverse calculation completed. Direction confirmed, distance confirmed... the landing position is approximately within a six li radius."
Chaos can never invade the subatomic scale. The probability of matter at that scale is not of chaos.
A powerful mana surged from within Wang Qi's body. These Fali combined perfectly with Yue Luo Liu Li's essence, then distributed throughout the space around Wang Qi, collapsing inward into rectangles.
Those rectangles are the manifestation of the matrices used for reverse calculation against the surrounding Spirit Power Field. Between the intersecting rectangles, numerous vectors rapidly calculate.
At the same time, Wang Qi connected his spirit pool to this teleportation array, replacing the spirit stones that had already turned to powder. Those spirit stones came from Lian Yichen, a high-order Ancient Method Practitioner, each one of top quality, equivalent to ten thousand times that of a low-grade spirit stone. However, Wang Qi's spirit pool regularly contains tens of thousands of stone spirit qi, equivalent to one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, far exceeding ordinary spirit stones in both stability and output power.
Gradually, the white light reappeared above the teleportation array. However, Wang Qi did not intend to cross this teleportation array. Now, the enemy on the other side might have already destroyed the teleportation array on that side, rendering this teleportation array targetless. If he crossed now, who knows what might happen.
For instance, his body might be evenly transmitted to every corner of the six li radius area.
The teleportation array also utilizes space and gravity. The gravity temporarily augmented by the teleportation array could potentially overwhelm electromagnetic force and easily tear apart objects!
What Wang Qi truly needed to do was to re-deduce a unidirectional transmission magic!
If this teleportation array is a "cable car" connecting this place to the Ten Thousand Mountains, and Lian Yichen, Mei Gemu are the vile guests who use the cable car to reach the "other side" and then break it, then what Wang Qi is doing now is utilizing the remaining materials of the "cable car" to make a "slingshot" to launch himself across.
After the "gate" appeared, Wang Qi did not stop deducing. Rectangles constructed of countless spirit lights maneuvered horizontally and vertically, occasionally overlapping and separating. The door of white light soon lost stability, collapsing into a mass of indeterminate white light. Then, with a hand mnemonic, Wang Qi caused the white light to transform into a small light cocoon.
Under Wang Qi's control, the light cocoon slowly descended towards the teleportation array. Only then did he lift his head and look at Mi again, "Oh, right, Senior Sister, I forgot to ask. You should have already reported everything that happened here, right?"
Mi nodded, still a bit worried, "The teacher has already issued the instructions. In at most a quarter of an hour, a Primordial Spirit Stage cultivator will come..."
"In matters like this, the sooner the better." Wang Qi shook his head, unwilling to admit that this time, for safety, he had not imposed safeguards like "self-destruction after a certain number of replications" on the Divine Plague Curse—facing an already fully awakened Banished Immortal, not even the slightest of reservations could be afforded. However, on the flip side, this also brought the danger of losing control.
To avoid the bizarre situation where "everyone in Shenzhou becomes Wang Qi," it was best to hurry over.
The light cocoon fell into the center of the formation and transformed into a vortex. Wang Qi followed the suction into it. At first, he only felt the world spinning, all directions disappearing. Afterwards, the matter constituting his body was compressed and released by a mysterious force.
The bowstring of the "slingshot" used tremendous force to cast him into a nonexistent direction.
Moments later, Wang Qi appeared, head up and feet down, in a marshland.
Sensing the singular directional gravity suddenly, Wang Qi quickly reacted, halting his downward momentum. However, seemingly overexerting himself, his entire being rebounded upwards instead.
The first thing Wang Qi noticed was the difference in gravity.
"This is an enclosed space-time induced by a Spirit Element Great Vein interfering with the gravity field, so the gravity is diverted. The gravity here is slightly less than that of Shenzhou. It is for this reason that the life beings here are larger than those outside."
Wang Qi quickly established an interactive system with the surrounding spiritual energy environment. As the surrounding spiritual energy joined his internal cycle, he immediately felt his internal mana stirring restlessly, seemingly advancing further.
"As recorded, after entering here, mana becomes abnormally lively for unknown reasons."
As he pondered, Wang Qi used mana to scoop up a clump of sludge, lightly touching it with his right pinky. A hissing sound followed, and Wang Qi felt a mild burning pain.
"As shown in the data. A compound of several biological toxins... under the influence of the peculiar spiritual energy, these toxins are not decomposed but persist, accumulating in the mud. Over the years, it has led to the deadly poison in the marshland silt."
"However, it's still within the defensive scope of my physical functions... The 'Thousand Plagues and Ten Thousand Poison Needle' given for free by the Immortal Alliance upon entering the Immortal Institute is indeed powerful... If necessary, one can choose to drag the enemy into the mud. That fellow's cultivation is rather unique, with blood being the true medium of power, and the physical body more like a magic artifact. This complex toxin might contaminate his blood. However, caution is warranted, as the opponent is a Banished Immortal, and might utilize secret techniques to reverse the toxin."
The opponent is a Banished Immortal, and fully awakened at that. Although its former self perished on this planet, making it unlikely to be the kind of immortal that can effortlessly destroy stars, its existence might still have persisted longer than the entire history of the Human Clan.
When dealing with such an enemy, one can never be too careful.
Yet now, Wang Qi can easily sense the other.
"After all, having been inflicted with my Tribulation God Plague, not only will your self-awareness be suppressed, but a portion of your mana will also be distorted to resemble mine."
"Under the Secret Technique of 'Same Energy Seeking,' you have nowhere to escape!"
...........................................................................
At first, Mei Gemu, carried by Lian Yichen, was cautious. But soon, a strange drowsiness overwhelmed him. He had to release part of his mind and pretend to nap with his eyes closed.
Meanwhile, he was constantly searching through his memories for a suitable cultivation method for his current situation.
"Overstimulating the demon blood has already altered my body, with several meridians abandoned. The cultivation techniques I originally chose can't be used now. Moreover, the situation is urgent, leaving no room for those cautious methods."
"In this Heaven and Earth, the representative species, the Human Clan, have bodies that are far too frail. However, their bodies still fall within the 'Life Map' template of the Wa Emperor, so I should be able to find usable cultivation methods... Speaking of which, who is the Wa Emperor... seems quite interesting..."
"Moreover, there are techniques... This is a land of poison, Gu land... there might even be creatures of the Demon God Stage... Poison Gu Technique, Beast Taming Skill..."
In this universe, regardless of the Heaven and Earth, regardless of the civilization, the only righteous path for cultivation is to establish an internal spiritual power cycling system. Other than this, whether focusing solely on refining the physical body, enhancing every cell, or controlling outer objects, sealing demon blood and demon souls within oneself, none of these can be considered the righteous path. These cultivation methods can only be seen as auxiliary means to the righteous path.
The Transformation Technique of the Dragon Clan has already fully explored the possibilities of carbon-based life forms, yet they still diligently temper their own essence demon energy, construct a Divine Power Body, and become Demon Gods, Mahayana. This is precisely because of this point—in theory, a Dragon Clan at the Transformation Stage could, with enough material to construct their body, even possess a physique akin to a small celestial body. Not to mention the Human Clan Mahayana, even all the Human Clan practitioners in the eighty-thousand-year history of Ancient Method cultivation wouldn't compare to such a Dragon Clan.
However, this is ultimately limited. Reaching that point is the end.
Yet establishing an internal spiritual energy cycling system and becoming an open, orderly system, that future path is infinite.
This is due to the mysterious characteristic of spiritual energy tending towards order.
Mei Gemu doesn't understand the theory of the Modern methods. However, long-term experience enables him to perceive this.
Suddenly, a turmoil arose in Mei Gemu's heart.
He felt that something closely related to him appeared not far away.
"This feeling... damn it! That mysterious attack is actually mutating my mana. This Secret Technique... Same Energy Seeking? Vibrate your own internal mana, and resonate with the surrounding similar mana..."
Mei Gemu suddenly raised his head and whispered, "We've been discovered!"
We've been discovered?
Lian Yichen was startled. This somewhat odd cultivator, after being escorted by him in escape, seemed to fall asleep. He was beginning to suspect whether this guy was truly exhausted of too much mana or was somewhat dull. But from his words, it seems he was constantly sensing the enemy?
Of course, Mei Gemu wouldn't mention he was tampered with. That would only make Lian Yichen abandon him. He asked, "Do you know any places nearby where poisonous insects gather?"
"Poisonous insects..." Lian Xingling hurriedly said, "Even if you're a Cultivation Gu, it's too late to find a Gu now, right?"
"I have my way!"
Lian Yichen was silent for a moment, then asked, "As for poisonous insects, I'm not sure. Moreover, ordinary poisonous insects may not even trouble that guy. You might not know, but the elite practitioners of the Immortal Alliance are mostly immune to poisons... but if you don't require 'poison,' I do know some."
"'Beast Herd Species,' ah." Mei Gemu's eyes brightened.
The mainstream species of this Heaven and Earth are "Blood and Flesh Species," but in the vast universe, not all life beings appear in the form of Blood and Flesh Species. There are also collective cultivators composed of several individuals. The Immortal Heaven calls them "Beast Herd Species."
For an immortal of the Beast Herd Species, a single individual alone cannot be considered immortal, at most a Banished Immortal. And for cultivators of the Beast Herd Species, if a certain individual in their body achieves the Immortal Dao, they cannot be considered truly immortal, merely possessing a demi-immortal status.
Among the Beast Herd Species, the most common is the "Insect Swarm"!
"If there's a Beast Herd Species from the Insect genus here... it'll at least buy us some time."
