"After discussing the Master of Calculation, let's talk about the Immortal Alliance," Feng Luoyi said, his tone suddenly changing.

From a harmless Seeking Dao Seeker, he transformed into a leader of the Immortal Alliance, a Peak Level Cultivator.

As Feng Luoyi's tone and expression changed, so did the illusionary realm. The seats of the numerous Carefree Practitioners, except for Feng Luoyi, all moved backward. From everyone being equal, it turned into Feng Luoyi lecturing while the others listened.

Even the arrogant Mathematics Lord had no objections to this arrangement. After all, once this setup was formed, the talk wouldn't be about mathematics. If it's unrelated to mathematics, he had no inclination to argue.

The reason Feng Luoyi was publicly chosen to handle the Immortal Alliance's daily affairs was precisely because he was adept in strategy, able to play with all beings and the masses as chess pieces. This was something even the Mathematics Lord acknowledged.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the fifty-third Banished Immortal has been confirmed."

Most cultivators gasped in shock upon hearing this. However, a few were a bit confused: "The fifty-third? I remember it being confirmed six or seven years ago, right?"

The Carefree Practitioner sitting next to this confused fellow couldn't help but laugh, pulling the inattentive person: "Come on! Don't you remember who the original 'fifty-third' was?"

This person still didn't quite understand. As a Carefree Practitioner, he didn't need to concern himself with these trivial matters. So, he asked, "Who was it?"

"The one who just demonstrated the principle of indeterminacy before you," the responder said, a bit annoyed.

The originally "fifty-third confirmed Banished Immortal" was Wang Qi.

However, after the battle with Zhao Qingfeng, Feng Luoyi had already removed Wang Qi's name from that list, determining that the test conducted by the Xinyue Immortal Institute back then was a misdiagnosis due to Wang Qi's uniquely innate soul.

In fact, the phenomenon of biological traits changing due to spiritual energy is not rare in this universe—spiritual energy interferes with not only physical research. Therefore, this reason was widely accepted.

However, what was the "key" to the news? It was the topic! The topic of "Wang Qi was originally a Banished Immortal, now just misdiagnosed" paled in comparison to "Shocking Revelation! The top genius of the Immortal Institute turns out to be a Banished Immortal! Our education system urgently needs improvement!"

Therefore, the number of people who knew that Wang Qi was not a Banished Immortal was far fewer than those who believed he was.

Now, the higher-ups of the Immortal Alliance no longer doubted whether Wang Qi had the ability to break the Heaven Barrier. They were only waiting to see when Wang Qi would cross the Nirvana Tribulation and reach the state of Carefree.

And among these Carefree Practitioners from the Wanfa Sect, they were most faithful in this belief.

If such a genius couldn't achieve Carefree, it would indeed be against Heavenly Principles!

Some even entertained this thought.

—Even if it were revealed now that Wang Qi is truly a Banished Immortal, the Wanfa Sect would likely spare no expense to find the Primordial Spirit Skill for Banished Immortals for him!

The twenty-third and tenth questions of Ximen's Twenty-Three Questions have the power to shake the entire sect.

The cultivator who had brought it up likely realized this and withdrew in frustration.

To this, Feng Luoyi shook his head helplessly and explained: "Wang Qi's identity has already been verified by the Dragon Clan, a lineage that has been guarding Shenzhou since ancient times and hunting Banished Immortals. According to their judgment, Wang Qi is not a Banished Immortal. Additionally, I have also used spells stolen from other Banished Immortals to check."

It was unclear whether those Carefree Practitioners truly understood Feng Luoyi's words.

Still, there were some who doubted: "This time of the year? How was there an exposure? Yue Han, are you joking?"

Banished Immortals are mostly exposed due to the meticulous checks done by the Immortal Institute. For instance, the blood extraction test upon admission and the soul-targeting methods before the Heart Inquiry Pass.

The vast majority of Banished Immortals are eliminated at these two stages.

The Banished Immortal Xiao Baishuang, whom Wang Qi had seen, was discovered in the first test, while Wang Qi was "misdiagnosed" during the latter.

However, the admission test usually occurs from March to April, while the latter is concentrated in May and June.

Now, it was December.

"It was an unexpected gain," Feng Luoyi shook his head, "It was not from our active detection, but an accidental exposure."

"What happened?"

"A few days ago, after seeing Wang Qi's incompleteness theorem, my mind was disturbed, unintentionally causing a complete collapse of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm." Feng Luoyi recounted emotionlessly, making some cultivators secretly delighted: See, even you have such moments! You're calling so fierce today, turns out you've been there too!

Feng Luoyi disregarded the whispers of these carefree practitioners and continued: "Due to the collapse of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, the Supreme Heart Demon Mystic Net and Artificial God I established in the Divine Capital have also lost control—if there are any Daoist fellows here who don't know what the Heart Demon Mystic Net or Artificial God are, please raise your hands. I have complete materials here, and you can look at them yourself."

Only the Mathematics Lord and a few Cultivators raised their hands. The Mathematics Lord had not been in this realm for many years, so naturally, he would not know about the new things introduced just last year in this realm.

After reading Feng Luoyi's materials, the carefree practitioners roughly understood what had happened. Then, one of them asked: "Mr. Feng, what is the relationship between this Supreme Heart Demon Mystic Net you mentioned and the fifty-third Banished Immortal?"

"The fifty-third Banished Immortal was discovered accidentally due to the expansion of the Heart Demon Mystic Net," Feng Luoyi said. "At that time, the Heart Demon Mystic Net lost control, and the Heart Demon Curse Power erupted entirely, spreading from the Great Capital Governor in Divine Capital to all directions, backlashing humans with various emotions, and all became part of the Heart Demon Mystic Net."

"But there was only one exception."

Fairy Ruoche perceptively asked: "That Banished Immortal?"

Feng Luoyi nodded, pulling out a file: "The Banished Immortal Mei Gemu, son of a big merchant in the town 'Qingfu Town' near the Divine Capital. In his youth, he went afar to listen to lectures at the Immortal Alliance Branch but was unsuccessful and wasn't enamored with the Immortal Dao. He idled away until he was twenty-one. Then, during this round of Heart Demon Curse Power eruption, Qingfu Town was enveloped entirely. However, he was an exception."

Someone inquired: "Why?"

"I don't know. However, analysis suggests two possibilities." Feng Luoyi slowly said: "The first possibility is that the Heart Demon Curse itself is a spell tinged with malice. Although we used other spells to neutralize the destructive power of the Heart Demon Curse, its essence remains unchanged. Perhaps the Immortal Remnant Soul inside that Banished Immortal resisted the Heart Demon Curse Power for this reason."

"First?" Master Turing interjected: "So, there is also 'second'?"

"The foundation of the Heart Demon Curse lies in the 'collective systems theory'," Feng Luoyi said. "Speaking of it, this has a bit of connection to Wang Qi. Some speculate that the Banished Immortal was never part of that collective from the start, or naturally resists collective power—they are born solitary beasts."

"Both these assumptions are speculations, currently unjustifiable."

Pang Jialai scoffed: "If that's the case, why not just capture that Banished Immortal?"

"Capture him?" Feng Luoyi shook his head: "He ran away!"

The Mathematics Lord frowned: "What? Are the Security Department and Criminal Law Department just idle? That Banished Immortal was merely a mortal before, right?"

"Unfortunately, the Heart Demon Curse Power triggered the Residual Soul inside this Banished Immortal, awakening him." Feng Luoyi regretfully shook his head: "His original personality has likely been overshadowed. Then, he also acquired some remarkable strength. The most basic Security Guardians and Law Enforcement Officers are just Foundation Establishment Cultivators. Letting an awakened Banished Immortal escape is quite normal."

"However..." Feng Luoyi closed the window displaying the Banished Immortal's image and information, then said: "The matter we are going to discuss has nothing to do with this Banished Immortal himself."

The carefree practitioners nodded. Different levels of issues are handled by people of different levels, ensuring high efficiency through division of labor and cooperation. If these carefree practitioners were to chase after a newly awakened Banished Immortal, it would be a misuse of their talents.

"What I want to talk about is just an idea." Feng Luoyi closed his eyes, speaking slowly: "Since this Power of Human Dao and collective power has the force to reveal Banished Immortals, what might be the result if we scatter this curse power across the entire Shenzhou?"

Many Cultivators were shocked: "This is..."

"In order to... reveal all parasites." Feng Luoyi's voice carried an unusual touch of emotion.

"Just because there are such potential Banished Immortals, we cannot act freely, and thus we must hide many things from the human clan. The Immortal Alliance must cautiously conceal its cards from those possible Banished Immortals, pretending to be an ordinary Immortal Dao World, even leaving the Ancient Method across the sea to allow Banished Immortals to gather there automatically."

"But now, we finally have the means to clear out those dangerous Banished Immortals within the human clan!"

Back in the day, an awakened Banished Immortal Demon Emperor Xi Clan had turned Shenzhou upside down, decimating the human clan. To the Modern Cultivators, every Banished Immortal represents a potential hazard and danger.

Now, there is an opportunity to expose all the Banished Immortals lurking within the human clan!

This is indeed an enormous achievement.

Fairy Ruoche, detail-oriented, raised a question: "However, this method has tested only one Banished Immortal so far, only one sample, and cannot be considered a universal rule. If that Banished Immortal's case is just an exception..."

On the other hand, Bai Ze God Monarch also said: "That Banished Immortal seems very suspicious. 'Not enamored with the Immortal Dao,' huh, a Banished Immortal not enamored with the Immortal Dao? Might they already be awakened, hiding their true self?"

The Immortal Remnant Soul inside a Banished Immortal can influence the Banished Immortal as its host, inciting a yearning for cultivation. This yearning is very strong, approximately described as 'I want to cultivate no matter what.'

Feng Luoyi shook his head: "This issue is not our discussion topic. This should be handed over to Tianling Ridge for research after that Banished Immortal is caught. As for investigation technology, I have other thoughts."

"I have only one purpose in discussing this matter with all of you."

"—With our current means, is it possible to create such a Mystic Net?"
