When Wang Qi saw the appearance of Ru Tianqi, the Third Elder of Luochen Sword Palace, he blinked, wiped away the blood on his eyelids, and inwardly thought, "This is a big score."

In reality, if we consider it logically, "Xia Li" is not particularly suitable for falling out with Luochen Sword Palace. However, Wang Qi ultimately does not plan to continue cultivating in the Ancient Method Immortal Alliance, but rather to make a quick gain here and leave.

He has now successfully blocked Holy Emperor Venerable's surveillance of Luochen Sword Palace. For him, the main goal now is to spread his Divine Plague Curse Technique in the shortest time possible and completely control the upper echelons of Luochen Sword Palace.

Wang Qi has studied the rules of Luochen Sword Palace, and Zhen Chan, using the perspective of an Ancient Method Practitioner, has given Wang Qi guidance. Wang Qi roughly knows that if he doesn't kill anyone or cause fatalities, the upper echelons of Luochen Sword Palace will not execute him on the spot.

This is the power of "rules." Although the higher the cultivators are, the more they treat rules as nothing or only adhere to rules they recognize, as long as one is not an Immortal and is still in this "society" mode, one cannot be completely unpredictable.

If you don't become an Immortal, you cannot escape the worldly affairs.

And to escape worldly affairs and cut off the secular ties, from a psychological standpoint, an Immortal is no longer human. No Immortal can be speculated upon using the thinking of mortals.

After all, the thinking of mortals is built upon a social foundation, established on the basis that requires "others."

However, Immortals are different. As solitary beings, they can survive. The "social" aspect has completely disappeared from Immortals because it is utterly unnecessary. The Immortal Alliance's departments that predict Immortals' behavioral patterns often base them more on animal behavior.

The similarity between Immortals and mortals is that they both are "animals" in a broad sense.

The three Elders of Luochen Sword Palace, although they have reached the Divine Separation Stage, have not yet transcended worldly affairs or surpassed the rules. Therefore, their actions are still traceable.

These upper echelons might be extremely angry and could strike a heavy blow to him. However, Wang Qi is confident he won't die.

These fellows also care about their reputation. Even if they pretend to have accidentally killed Xia Li, they wouldn't overdo it. Hitting someone to death, yet claiming a misstep because of missed hits is still plausible. However, stabbing precisely at crucial points with every blow—who would believe that to be an "accident"?

But Wang Qi's true strength far exceeds what he shows now. The attacks that pretend to accidentally kill "Xia Li" certainly cannot kill Wang Qi.

And Wang Qi's biggest objective is to make contact with these high-ranking cultivators of Luochen Sword Palace.

As long as there is a momentary mana interaction, Wang Qi is confident that he can implant the Divine Plague Curse Technique into these high-order cultivators. And now that the "server" has already been set up, he only needs to plant a "backdoor" to make the first move in a game of strategy.

After dismantling the high-level cultivators who have resistance to the Heart Demon Curse, he can safely and boldly unleash the Supreme Heart Demon Curse.

After all, no one has tried the Supreme Heart Demon Curse. Wang Qi also doesn't know if those Divine Separation Stage cultivators can detect the power of the Supreme Heart Demon Curse. If they become aware of this power and flee to call upon Holy Emperor Venerable, then Wang Qi will have no opportunity.

Therefore, Wang Qi needs to use this kind of extreme measure to directly create opportunities for conflict with high-ranking cultivators and then take down Luochen Sword Palace in one swift move!

Ru Tianqi did not notice the mysterious expression that flickered across Wang Qi's eyes. He just thought the other was showing defiance against his position as Elder, feeling even more annoyed himself. With his fingers splayed, he pressed down with invisible Sword Qi toward Wang Qi.

Wang Qi seemed truly trapped, putting on the stance of a cornered beast prepared to fight, with his long sword pointed slantingly. His body merged with the sword, ramming into Ru Tianqi's Qi Force. This charge, on the surface, appeared as the strongest strike of a Golden Core Stage cultivator whose essence, spirit, and Qi were fused as one, combined with his extraordinary Pseudo Sword Intent, it was akin to a casual swing from a Nascent Soul Stage.

However, this move in secret was far from that simple.

Wang Qi is the founder of the Dataized Cultivation Method, and the Virtual and Real Two-Phase Other Chapter is a cultivation technique he invested a tremendous amount of heart power into; it is a crystallization of Shenzhou's calculator technology. In terms of combat, existing techniques might not be much weaker than this one. But in terms of "Spirit Sense Transmission," when counting both Modern and Ancient Methods, adding up all cultivation methods throughout Shenzhou's history, none can compare to this one.

Wang Qi only needs to implant a "backdoor" into this Third Elder's body to proceed with further intrusion through the Tai Chu Sword God Array's server.

In other words, as long as he remains within the Tai Chu Sword God Array, if he engages in even one move with anyone without dying, he can assuredly claim ultimate victory!

"Boom!"

Then, darkness engulfed Wang Qi's vision, and he felt as if every bone in his body shattered, collapsing softly to the ground.

However, he secretly cheered in his heart.

"Success! Five Divines, one down!"

Ru Tianqi strode over to "Xia Li," hoisting the figure up effortlessly. Wang Qi silently lifted one layer of disguise, igniting the Life Flame within, while retaining a measure of Heavenly Entropy Technique mana to prevent this guy from secretly finishing him off.

Unexpectedly, the anticipated attack did not come.

At first, Ru Tianqi really did intend to kill Xia Li. But with the Qionghua Conference approaching, if they couldn't find a top-notch genius to present to the Holy Emperor Venerable, they would likely face further suppression. This kid was their "commodity" to win over the Emperor's favor, so he couldn't just die like that.

However, letting this kid live was also a huge problem. No one knew if the Holy Emperor Venerable's selection of geniuses was with good intent or ill. If he received creation at that time, it wouldn't be good.

Ru Tianqi's expression was uncertain. After a while, he sneered coldly, "Sure enough, a born genius, very good, very good... Being able to unleash such an attack in the Golden Core Early Stage. If we don't consider the compatibility with my Luochen Sword Palace cultivation, your talent is several times greater than that of my disciple..."

—Huh?

—The script is off?

Wang Qi pretended to open his eyes with difficulty, observing Ru Tianqi's demeanor, while Zhen Chan was gloating, "So this is the play... This little thing really brought it upon himself..."

It's uncertain what this Mahayana Cultivator had noticed.

The surrounding Nascent Soul Cultivators also didn't know what was going on.

"Originally, a rebellious genius like you would rather be destroyed than let you grow. But today, I, the Ancestor, bestow upon you creation!"

Ru Tianqi, carrying Wang Qi, walked slowly toward the side hall of the Sword Palace. The voice of the Third Elder, loud like a grand bell, echoed through every corner of Luochen Sword Palace, "I know, Fourth Elder, Junior Brother Ye, you all have a bit of protective intent toward this kid. But this time, I'm not going to kill him, but grant him great creation! In the future Qionghua Conference, our Luochen Sword Palace will surely dominate!"

Wang Qi was led by the Third Elder all the way to the side hall of Luochen Sword Palace. After that, this Sword Palace Elder opened a secret door and descended into an underground palace.

"This is probably the kid's private training room," Zhen Chan sneered, not forgetting to mock a bit, "To be honest, this training room is built miserly, only small sects would do this. If it were a truly great sect, like the Holy Emperor Venerable, they would build the training room in the most conspicuous place, daring anyone to make noise."

Wang Qi replied irritably in his spirit sense, "What is he going to do to me now, tell me!"

"Probably wash away your foundation with a flaw-hidden spell," Zhen Chan replied, "He'll teach you a spell, which will definitely have a flaw only known to a few in Luochen Sword Palace. Or he might plant a heavy psychological shadow in you, making your nature become very extreme, collapsing immediately at seeing or hearing certain things..."

—Damn, he likes to play mind games...

"However, without insanity, there's no survival; the more extreme the nature, the easier to cross the Divine Separation Sense Transformation hurdle. So, this is also a significant creation... I observe this kid's Sword Intent, seems to have a Buddhistic Great Compassion Mental Realm of all beings suffering, but he twists Great Compassion to Great Slaughter, alleviating suffering through killing—oh, this makes sense, seeking life from death! He probably plans to separate a forbidden move from his own comprehension. That forbidden move likely includes the imagery of 'Sea of Suffering' or 'All Laws Dried Silence', far too tragic for cultivators. So he isn't planning to pass it to disciples but uses you as an experiment for the New Method..."

"Killing multiple birds with one stone!"

Wang Qi closed his mental eyes, appearing to have given up, while thinking how "small the world is."

"Planting Heart Demons, spreading cultivation methods with backdoors, and using others for experiments... Isn't this what I was planning to do? I haven't even officially implemented it yet? Ah, humanity's intrinsic faults haven't changed over thousands of years..."

"Not thousands of years. He's a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator, showing no signs of nearing life's end, at most four or five thousand years,"

"The intrinsic faults of the Human Clan, the same in any era," Wang Qi lamented, carelessly including himself in the criticism, "And, old man, you're so familiar with this, you must have played it too?"

"When you want to control someone to do your bidding, this is what you do," Zhen Chan didn't avoid it, "How else do you think sect's death soldiers are ensured not to betray besides drug brainwashing?"

Making a group of brain-dead lunatics is indeed effective.

While the two talked, Ru Tianqi had reached the place. This was his private training room, no more than three meters high, ten meters long and wide, with pure black walls. These bricks, forged with True Fire, absorb sound and isolate spiritual sense the best.

In other words, this truly was a no-man's land.

Ru Tianqi casually tossed Wang Qi into a corner, sneered, turned around, and prepared to fetch some instruments, slowly dealing with this kid. Ru Tianqi said, "You've cultivated a Sword Dao of killing, close to the Shura Killing Path. If you switch to practicing my Law Gate, it wouldn't be bad... This Law Gate I've only just comprehended today. It's just too intense to cultivate."

"If you must hate me, that's for the best. In this cultivation method, the more unresolved issues and pain you have, the faster your cultivation will grow. If you want to escape the Sea of Suffering, kill me for revenge, then wallow in pain, curse me..."

Suddenly, Ru Tianqi couldn't continue his rant.

He felt something terrifying behind him.
