Hearing Feng Luoyi's words, several Carefree Practitioners whispered among themselves. Finally, Master Turing said, "Brother Yue Han, the matter of the spell is indeed feasible. It's nothing more than another Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, albeit a truncated version. However, you also need to explain to us what the significance of this is."

Indeed, the Banished Immortal that had been confirmed but not studied seemed somewhat abnormal.

Although Banished Immortals who are not enamored with the Immortal Dao are not unheard of, they are ultimately a minority. Such Banished Immortals can arguably be described as the 'backup of backup' for immortals. In one heaven and earth, as long as one Residual Soul achieves the Immortal Dao, other Residual Souls will automatically converge into one. However, there exists a rare possibility that there is a strong presence close to Immortal Level or a low-level Immortal within that heaven and earth that can completely destroy the Residual Soul. To prevent the Residual Soul from being destroyed, among the many Residual Souls of a Banished Immortal, there indeed exists such a special individual whose mind is not deeply set on the Immortal Dao.

Moreover, there is another possibility—that Mei Gemu had actually awakened long ago, but had always been suppressing it!

The Heart Demon Curse Power, is it only responsive to these two special cases, or does it respond to all Banished Immortals?

Combining this with Zhao Qingfeng's tendency to control the Heart Demon Major Curse, the former possibility seems not insignificant.

Perhaps this Banished Immortal is just an exception?

Perhaps this system only reacts to already awakened Banished Immortals?

Perhaps ordinary Banished Immortals can not only hide themselves but also use the Heart Demon Mystic Net in reverse?

This last point is not without precedent. If that Banished Immortal had previously dual cultivated Divine Tao before ascension or cultivated the Innate Five Virtues Method, his control power over the Heart Demon Mystic Net might even surpass that of the Immortal Alliance!

Regarding the concerns of his peers, Feng Luoyi nodded to show understanding. He said, "In that case, let me explain my thoughts in detail. The foundation of the Supreme Heart Demon Mystic Net is the human clan collective, its basis is on 'humans.' Every human individual is its node and terminal—in other words, this Mystic Net actually penetrates into the human body."

"Then, this Mystic Net is essentially a copy of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. Many things that the Illusion Realm can achieve, it can also achieve. Recently, a new function added to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm is the transmission of spells."

"This means that as long as it is preset, certain spells or several spells will always flow within the Mystic Net. We can mix it into the spirit messages that everyone reads daily, or embed it into commonly used path ranks, loading them into every human body."

Pang Jialai raised an eyebrow: "A new spell?"

"Quite the opposite, very old." Feng Luoyi smiled: "Not long ago, our Immortal Alliance successfully made contact with the Dragon Clan. From the mouth of that 'Dragon Clan Envoy,' we learned that the Dragon Clan has been guarding Shenzhou and hunting down Banished Immortals since a billion years ago—these I've already mentioned."

"Dragon Clan's Law?"

"Dragon Clan's." Feng Luoyi nodded: "In the mouth of the Dragon Clan, immortals are referred to as 'Undying Beasts,' while Banished Immortals are called parasitic beasts. They have several spells specifically for identifying Banished Immortals."

Master Turing pondered for a moment: "If that's the case, then there's no problem!"

Feng Luoyi nodded: "In my view, this should be completed within three years..."

"Three years?" Fairy Ruoche exclaimed in surprise: "This... this doesn't comply with the regulations!"

Fairy Ruoche knew Feng Luoyi's original plan. Previously, when designing the city god "Great Capital Governor," she helped with the model of the Heart Demon Spirit Field accumulation. Therefore, she also knew the original plan of the Immortal Alliance.

The Divine Capital Special Zone needs to exist for at least thirty years!

Only after confirming that the Heart Demon Major Curse, with its 'toxicity' removed, is completely harmless to the human clan and does not obstruct cultivation can it be widely promoted.

"Three years is simply too short of a time!"

"This absolutely does not comply with the regulations!"

"Besides, you can't bypass Tianling Ridge!"

Certain laws involving essentials for human life, such as food, agriculture, and medicine, are all managed by Tianling Ridge. And the way Tianling Ridge operates naturally carries the style of Tianling Ridge.

Unknown life, how to know death? To those who do not know life and act upon death, I shall teach by death!

Cherishing life is a shared quality of the Life Path's Seeking Dao seekers.

Feng Luoyi, bewildered, said: "When did I ever say I would violate Tianling Ridge's decision?"

Skilled in Yitian's Calculation, he naturally also understands the importance of regulations.

The evidence of violating rules will ultimately bring disaster to oneself and lacks impact on the academic whole.

—The protection of laboratory ethics involves not just the animals used as test subjects, but also humans as experimenters.

"If you want to get results in a shorter time, you must conduct more in-depth empirical research or increase investment." Fairy Ruoche said, looking at Feng Luoyi with caution.

Conducting more in-depth empirical research would mean doing things... potentially violating human ethics.

Increasing investment is indeed a good approach, as the Immortal Alliance, with its great wealth and resources, does not care about general resources. However, the subject of this empirical research is very special—this subject is human!

The Immortal Alliance initially carved out the Divine Capital Special Zone to verify the safety of the Heart Demon Major Curse, so there's no way the Supreme Heart Demon Mystic Net will be allowed to expand further before obtaining results in the Divine Capital Special Zone.

Feng Luoyi, confident, said: "To this, I have separated several plans."

"Firstly, the research on the Banished Immortal."

"Currently, six Banished Immortals are inclined towards our Immortal Alliance. Of them, three are willing to resist their past lives at all costs. One of these three, along with three other Banished Immortals, has been arranged by me to participate in this research project."

"Among them, two are involved in the project concerning Banished Immortals and the Supreme Heart Demon Mystic Net. The other two's project relates to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm."

Ai Kemeng quickly realized: "I can roughly understand the former. You're planning to merge two Banished Immortals into this Supreme Heart Demon Mystic Net! As for the latter, do you mean to let the consciousness of Banished Immortals enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm?"

The Heart Demon Mystic Net is merely a subsystem of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm. Even if an accident occurs, the impact wouldn't be too great. But the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm is different. The massive collapse and chaos a few days ago are the best proof of this.

Feng Luoyi shook his head: "No, at most it's a regional illusion."

"Explain in detail."

"The core of this project lies in a Law Gate called 'Dataized Cultivation Method,'" Feng Luoyi said. "This cultivation method, regardless of the combat power, has two particularly interesting aspects: First, it allows one to achieve Divine Separation Sense Transformation or even unity of magic and self early. Second, the mana cultivated can bypass the calculator and directly link to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm—or rather, this cultivation method essentially turns a human body into a calculator."

"I think I understand your point. The other two Banished Immortals are practicing this method, and if successful, they effectively become calculators. We can use various means to bypass the barriers imposed by the immortal's superior life level and explore the essence of an immortal." Master Turing nodded, but still had doubts: "However, this cultivation method is definitely the Modern Cultivation Method. Banished Immortals instinctively reject the Modern Cultivation Method. Can they really cultivate it successfully?"

Feng Luoyi shook his head: "You don't need to worry about this. The candidates I selected will absolutely devote themselves wholeheartedly to completing this project."

"These two research projects concern the impact of Banished Immortals on the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm and the Heart Demon Mystic Net,"

"Furthermore, there's the study of the Heart Demon Mystic Net itself."

The study of the Heart Demon Mystic Net itself is the biggest challenge. To research the Heart Demon Mystic Net, we must practically construct the network. But constructing the Heart Demon Mystic Net means using people as test subjects.

For this challenge, Feng Luoyi merely smiled and said, "Bloodline-wise, they are human, but ethically they are not part of humanity. Shenzhou still has a group of such beings."

Master Turing, Fairy Ruoche, and others looked uneasy: "Like this..."

"It's not wrong in principle, but..."

"If it's not wrong in principle, doesn't that make it correct?" At this moment, the voice of agreement surprisingly came from the Mathematics Lord: "What's there to be doubtful about? We're planning to eliminate them anyway, aren't we, Mr. Feng?"

"Coincidentally, they also have Banished Immortals there," Feng Luoyi nodded. "Let's have those remnants of the Ancient Method serve some purpose."

....................................

The young man Mei Gemu leaned against a tree, panting heavily.

It was truly... terrifying, incredibly terrifying.

Seven days ago, for some unknown reason, the world in the eyes of the young man changed.

Yes, it changed.

His once peaceful life was altered that evening.

At that time, he first felt slightly dizzy.

The first to change was his vision. In his view, a few nauseating colors suddenly appeared. Void white, greasy pink, icy blue...

Then, his sense of smell began to change as well. Those light mists actually formed a stench in his nose!

He didn't know this was the result of synesthesia.

The nature of the Heart Demon Curse Power is bizarre. If one hasn't comprehended the mysteries of Divine Separation Sense Transformation, typically, even cultivators can't perceive it. However, the immortal essence within Mei Gemu was too strong for him, allowing him to directly sense the Heart Demon Curse Power. Yet, he wasn't a cultivator, never having awakened Spiritual Sense, so this perception could only manifest through vision, smell, and hearing.

Thus, those fellow townsfolk contaminated by the Heart Demon Great Curse also appeared different in his eyes.

Those individuals seemed to have grown deformities of flesh on their bodies.

Accompanied by deep, trembling muttering and the smell of vomit or rotten eggs...

Rationally, he knew these were illusions, but he just couldn't endure them.

Then, when those foreign creatures composed of flesh masses descended from the sky, he completely broke down and fled desperately.

— Cultivators stationed in the Divine Capital, serving as nodes of the Heart Demon Mystic Net, have curse powers flowing through them stronger than mortals.

— What appeared to Mei Gemu's eyes were even more grotesque forms.

"What on earth is happening..." The young man helplessly leaned against a tree, lamenting.

He was originally just an insignificant person living idly. How could he handle such bizarre things?

At this time, he heard a voice coming from above: "Finally found you, 'me.'"

"What?" Mei Gemu looked up, and a pair of golden beast eyes came into view.
