Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 833 - 162: Great Chaos (Part 1)
"...From this, we can see that the work we need to do now is not as we previously thought..."
In the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, Wang Qi was endlessly explaining paper after paper to Feng Luoyi.
After all, Feng Luoyi, being a Carefree Level cultivator, quickly calmed his anger towards his disciple, regained his composure, and listened calmly to Wang Qi's narrative.
Among the papers Wang Qi mentioned, some were brilliant, while others were just passably coherent. Prior to this, Feng Luoyi didn't think there was anything worth reading in them.
Because from his perspective, the ideas in these papers were exceedingly troublesome and meaningless.
However, who was he? As Wang Qi narrated, cited, and even just mentioned them, Feng Luoyi's consciousness automatically pulled related information from the Immortal Alliance's database, integrating it into his thoughts. Soon, an incomplete yet embryonic system started forming in Feng Luoyi's mind.
—These papers have an implicit connection...
—This connection...tracing it back, it all points to...
—The speech he gave at the Banquet of Completion at the Dao Artifact Award years ago?
Feng Luoyi's first thought was to reprimand Wang Qi for his nonsense. However, the speed of human speech has its limits, and his thoughts had already far surpassed these. So, before he could speak, this nascent theoretical framework had already been operating in his mind for weeks.
Then, Feng Luoyi couldn't bring himself to say anything.
This was not nonsense.
This kid really has the bearing to establish his own school of thought!
But...but...but the premise for this school to establish itself is...
Feng Luoyi found it a bit hard to continue imagining.
The premise for this school's formation might be the demise of the Genting Sect.
Wang Qi intends to shatter the entire Genting Sect and establish a new school within the Li Sect camp!
Is this absurd?
Of course, it's absurd.
The stakes involved here are by no means something a Core Formation Stage Wang Qi could bear.
However, Wang Qi's current posture...
"No need to talk anymore. I've made my psychological preparations." Feng Luoyi had already regained his usual calm. He extended his hand: "Bring it out!"
Wang Qi hesitated for a moment: "Wait a moment, teacher, we just talked about the Transfinite Induction Method. Actually, I feel we can continue from..."
"Are you underestimating me, boy?" Feng Luoyi stared at Wang Qi. Soon, Wang Qi felt overwhelmed by an endless stream of information, nearly drowning him.
That is, the insistence of an arithmetician.
"I can pretty much guess what you're proving. I also admit that if I truly face that result, my Dao Heart might collapse." Feng Luoyi's gaze was firm and unwavering: "However, I am an arithmetician. Knowing that such a theorem exists in the world...even if it costs my life, I must see it."
Wang Qi was silent for a moment. Unless he sent the paper out using primitive methods like paper letters or the Ancient Method Communication Magic Artifact, there was no way to publish his paper without facing Feng Luoyi.
And online publishing is the only way for Shenzhou cultivators to express their theories.
So, this hurdle had to be faced.
"Teacher..." Wang Qi tried to keep his language calm: "Please first let all critical calculators exit their state...notify the Empirical Department to conclude the empirical studies swiftly, disconnect from the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, and protect existing data. Simultaneously, disconnect from major databases. The best approach is to sever the connection at the physical layer. Additionally, issue an urgent notification: everyone best pauses the use of calculators.
Feng Luoyi looked deeply at Wang Qi. Then, one command after another was issued.
What Wang Qi mentioned would undoubtedly cause significant losses to the Immortal Alliance. Imagine if a major economic center on Earth, like New York, went offline for half an hour—what would happen? That would inevitably mean a huge shock to the entire financial market. And in Shenzhou, it is similar. Countless experiments would be forcibly halted. All the materials and efforts invested in this experiment would be in vain. And cutting off major databases would put the work of the majority of the Immortal Alliance, which requires referencing materials, at a standstill. Furthermore, the pervasive monitoring network of the Immortal Alliance would malfunction.
If Wang Qi's theory proved to be nonsense, merely a jest towards the Immortal Alliance, he would certainly face severe punishment.
Yet, Feng Luoyi still did it.
He even accomplished something Wang Qi did not mention. That is, forcibly locking down the sword boxes of all unowned Heavenly Swords in this solar system.
During this process, Wang Qi was reciting a spell. It was the spell he used before to counter a great collapse.
After waiting for about two hours, the entire Shenzhou was finally prepared.
Feng Luoyi extended his hand once more: "Bring it over."
Wang Qi took a deep breath, uploaded the paper stored in his calculator, and then shouted: "Teacher! If it doesn't work out, just remember the 'Sky Drawing Technique' in the Book of Geometry! The Euler Sky Drawing Style is complete!" After saying this, he didn't wait for Feng Luoyi's response and quickly withdrew his consciousness, leaving the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm.
As soon as Wang Qi exited the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, he rushed out of the house. Outside, ninety thousand Flow Control five Mechanical Beasts were on high alert, hovering over Wang Qi's house. Wang Qi once again released his mana to connect with the Butterfly Group, allowing his consciousness to reside within, gaining immense computational power.
Just then, he heard the voice of a girl talking nearby: "What is he doing?" "I don't know. However, for some reason, I have a very bad premonition. Master seemed to have just issued a warning across the entire network."
Wang Qi turned around urgently and found Mi still standing there.
"Senior Sister, didn't you see the announcement the teacher just made?"
Mi nodded, her little face full of seriousness: "No matter what happens, I will help the teacher and maintain the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. Don't worry, I will protect you."
Wang Qi urged, "Senior Sister, you really... quickly exit the realm! Quickly exit the realm!"
You fool! The one truly in danger is not us, but you!
The collapse of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm usually poses no life threat to life forms like the Human Clan, but for you Sea God types, it's different!
However, Wang Qi did not finish saying what he wanted to say. Mi's smile had already frozen. Then, her "body" quickly became blurred, as if the signal was bad, full of static snowflakes.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Mi let out a scream and finally disintegrated into chaotic spots of light.
"Don't think you can act recklessly just because you're an Innate Saint, with a life level equal to that of an Immortal!"
Wang Qi roared, but it was to no avail. Mi's real body was far away in the Wanfa Sect, a distance far beyond his reach.
Chen Youjia slightly trembled and tugged on Wang Qi's clothes. Following Chen Youjia's gaze, Wang Qi looked towards the sea. The once calm West Sea was now boiling like crazy, continuously surging. Infinite brilliance was released from the seawater. It was unlike the mana of the Human Clan, nor the Essence Demon Energy of the Demon Clan. Its nature was peculiar but its quantity enormous, far surpassing any individual Wang Qi had ever seen. Just standing there, Wang Qi felt he was about to be swallowed by a tide of spiritual power.
"Xi... that guy didn't exit the realm either..." Wang Qi clicked his tongue, considering how these Sea God types truly rivaled his own talent for courting death, relying on their special essence, utterly unafraid of danger.
"Let's see now what I can do." Wang Qi mumbled, approached the calculator, and placed a hand upon it. A belief link was established between Wang Qi, the Butterfly Group, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm.
............................................................…
A few minutes ago, in Ai Qinglan's Empirical Department.
Su Junyu walked out with a gloomy face, asking: "What exactly happened? Why was there a sudden announcement for everyone to urgently exit the realm? There better be an explanation! Is the management of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm slacking off?"
Following Su Junyu to Langde, a few disciples of the Wanfa Sect also exclaimed: "We were just discussing the use of the latest Wanxiang Diagram with fellow disciples in the sect, and then suddenly, we were told to log off!"
Due to the cheat Mi made for Wang Qi, the Wanxiang Diagram had hundreds of updates overnight, jumping from one version to six or seven, so most Wanfa Sect disciples needed to reacquaint themselves with the system.
Ai Qinglan replied irritably: "You ask me, who do I ask? We were just discussing the compatibility of the Empirical Mystical Thought Body with the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, but now, a whole set of data is wasted!"
Everyone expressed utter anger. For researchers, nothing was more frustrating than this.
Only Chen Feng still remained relatively calm: "The notification also said it would be a short time, everyone bear with it and it'll be over soon."
Xi grinned cheekily: "Boring... Hey, hey, my good sister is part of the management of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm! Want me, your Senior Sister, to open a backdoor and find out what's going on for you?"
"Unnecessary." Chen Feng tried to stop Xi. However, he noticed Xi's expression was a bit strange. Her "whole person"—or rather, "the entire colony"—seemed to be enduring enormous pain.
—What's happening? Is the emoticon package malfunctioning?
Thinking so, Chen Feng reached out to grab Xi, asking: "Senior Sister... Senior Sister!"
Under the astonished gazes of everyone, Xi suddenly let out a soundless scream. An inexplicable force swept across everyone instantly. In the Empirical Department, many fragile test tubes and flasks shattered. Then, the Spirit Body Xi had morphed into exploded before everyone's stunned eyes.
"What happened?"
"Look at the sea!"
Under Su Junyu's guidance, everyone saw the unusual spectacle at sea.
An abnormal amount of mana surged through the air, even reaching the skies, transforming into an aurora-like scene. That was Xi's out-of-control power!
Forget Primordial Spirit, even Void Refining and Nirvana couldn't match up!
"What's going on?"
The same question also appeared within the small cave heaven beneath the Wanfa Sect. Golden Core Cultivator Yao Zhenyi cried, using Xiangyu Travel to escape.
Just a moment ago, the usually peaceful Senior Mi suddenly went berserk, and the massive spiritual power, just its sweep could destroy Golden Core Stage cultivators, hovered in the entire grotto heaven.
In reality, Mi had no intention of harming anyone. Her original goal was merely to shatter all the calculators within this grotto heaven, nothing more.
However, the cultivation of Sea God types, once employed, was like a map cannon, and collateral damage was inevitable.
Now Mi's consciousness was nearly collapsing. Her last thought was a groan...
"Junior Brother... you bastard... what on earth did you do..."
