When the first operator transmitted through Mi's body, Wang Qi knew that his idea had truly succeeded.

Deploying the Immortal Alliance to refine his cultivation method, this idea really works!

"This is the result of personal interests being highly consistent with collective interests!" Wang Qi said with some satisfaction, "Once the general direction is decided, Teacher Feng and Master Turing can establish the big framework in minutes. As for the subsequent details, many people can be mobilized to fill in..."

From this moment on, Wang Qi meticulously polished the local area network hidden within the Taichu Sword God Array. He designed the part that exchanges with nature's spiritual energy as a port, embedding path after path within, leaving his unique code inside the Taichu Sword God Array.

His ultimate goal was to implant the consciousness truly suitable for the network—Jarvis—into this local area network, making the magic artifact in his hand the main server of this network.

Wang Qi's control gradually deepened into the Taichu Sword God Array. However, he soon discovered he encountered a new problem.

"I actually got stuck on this step because I don't understand the sword intent of the three Great Elders..." Wang Qi gritted his teeth again.

After dismantling the "packaging" of the Taichu Sword God Array, Wang Qi realized this. He simply couldn't understand the "content" already contained within the Taichu Sword God Array.

But it's necessary...

If he wants to seize full ownership of this "LAN" without affecting the Taichu Sword God Array at all, he must have a sufficient understanding of it.

However, if he can't handle the Taichu Sword God Array, what basis does he have to deal with the Holy Emperor Venerable's Divine Country?

Wang Qi thought for a while and called out, "Elder Ru? Are you there?"

Ru Tianqi then emerged from the door of the Quiet Room, looking calm. He was already accustomed to Wang Qi's various strange orders.

However, this time, Wang Qi's command still exceeded his imagination.

"You, recite your cultivation method, especially your current cultivation method, to me completely and quickly!

"Complete cultivation method..." Ru Tianqi questioned, "Would you be interested in that?"

This guy's cultivation method is clearly a heaven-defying technique that allows a Golden Core Stage practitioner to contend against Divine Separation Stage, and his ancient cultivation method really qualifies to attract his interest?

Not to mention, he still has an ancient cultivator's residual soul in his possession, which has a far deeper grasp of the Ancient Method than the masters of Luochen Sword Palace.

Under such circumstances, Wang Qi still inquires about his cultivation method? It's unusual.

If something abnormal happens, there must be a demon!

Wang Qi shook his head and mocked, "I'm not after your cultivation method, merely to analyze the pattern of the Taichu Sword God Array from it. The cultivation method I gave you truly points to the Carefree realm. According to the principle of equivalent exchange, it more than compensates for your own cultivation method."

Ru Tianqi sighed deeply and took out a jade slip, recording his cultivation method.

The true essence of Ancient Method Cultivation Method emphasizes "not falling to words," Ru Tianqi's sword technique is based on Luochen Sword Palace's Great Freedom Brushing Heart Mysterious Truth, yet he has infused it with his own understanding and insights of the sword, his life experiences, and realizations. This journey of majestic prestige is his personal cultivation method.

This cultivation method belongs to him alone, and no one can learn it.

Of course, Wang Qi does not intend to learn this cultivation method but rather to analyze, attempting to deduce the inner operating rules of the Taichu Sword God Array from this cultivation method, reconstructing it, expressing it through mathematics.

Only after receiving Ru Tianqi's cultivation method did Wang Qi seem to realize something and lifted his head to say to Ru Tianqi, "Shall we go deal with your Luochen Sword Palace's Elders?"

"Ah?" Ru Tianqi doubted he had heard correctly, "By 'deal,' you mean..."

"The literal meaning, plant the Divine Plague Curse Technique on them, letting them be controlled by me."

Ru Tianqi found this affair rather sudden, "I thought you weren't interested in that..."

"Not interested? I'm very interested in the extinction of Ancient Cultivation Methods." Wang Qi replied, "Otherwise, why would I be here?"

"But... you... this room... it's been over two months..." Ru Tianqi didn't know what to say for a moment, just pointing randomly.

Wang Qi shook his head, "Previously, I thought it wasn't the time to eliminate the Sword Palace. But now, those Luochen Sword Palace Elders possess something that interests me. I must seize them for some thorough research."

Ru Tianqi found it a bit strange. Wang Qi's words puzzled him; it seemed that Wang Qi aimed primarily at the cultivation methods of those Divine Separation Stage Elders rather than targeting the Elders themselves.

In Wang Qi's mind, "research" was more important than "elimination of enemies."

Ru Tianqi suddenly felt somewhat relieved, yet also a bit shivery.

The relief came from knowing that Wang Qi wasn't a bloodthirsty person. The possibility of everyone being slaughtered, including himself and the Luochen Sword Palace disciples who fell into his hands, was much lower.

But what sent a chill down his spine was Wang Qi's indifference; he didn't care at all about the fate of these Luochen Sword Palace cultivators.

Wang Qi didn't harbor hatred towards the disciples of Luochen Sword Palace; of course, he wouldn't have any sentimental attachment to the sword palace either. While he wouldn't deliberately slaughter the disciples, conversely, even if all disciples of Luochen Sword Palace perished, it would have no effect on him; he wouldn't care.

After all, whether it's the lives of the sword palace disciples or anything else, it all held no meaning in his eyes. What Wang Qi needed were simply test subjects for his cultivation experiments. Based on the principle of "avoiding experimental animal loss as much as possible," he might even protect the Luochen Sword Palace disciples under certain conditions. However…

The identity of the experimenter and the experimental subjects was already established.

Avoiding experimental animal loss was a principle, but it didn't stipulate "definitely can't" expend experimental subjects.

In other words, the life and death of the Luochen Sword Palace, or even others in the Ancient Method Immortal Sect, truly depended on Wang Qi's mood.

Ru Tianqi had faced cultivators of the Demon Path and the Evil Path before. Yet, even those Demon Path juggernauts who revel in consuming human flesh and extracting marrow, or Evil Path madmen who commit atrocities daily, were not as terrifying as Wang Qi. Those people had strong subjective desires to kill; they murder for cultivation or entertainment.

But Wang Qi, subjectively, held no intent to "destroy."

This was more terrifying than any sinister demon. Wang Qi's attitude had surpassed the point where "malice" could describe.

Unconsciously, Ru Tianqi's gaze at Wang Qi took on a hint of fear.

And just when Ru Tianqi was in shock, Wang Qi had already made his move. His right hand traced through the void, countless command sets were drawn by his gesture, weaving into intangible doom in the air, and silently penetrated through the Tai Chu Sword God Array, entering the bodies of four Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in Luochen Sword Palace.

These Nascent Soul Stage cultivators had all come into contact with Wang Qi's mana a few months prior. At that time, to suppress the rampaging "Xia Li," they acted one after another. Wang Qi took that opportunity to plant "coordinates" in them. Over the past months, Wang Qi laid countless backdoors in their bodies. Now, the Divine Plague Curse Technique thoroughly eroded them.

The Divine Plague Curse Technique Wang Qi used this time differed from before. When subduing Ru Tianqi, he used a purely destructive Divine Plague Curse Technique. But this time, he mainly plundered the power of these Nascent Soul Stage cultivators for his own use.

One by one, the four Nascent Soul Stage cultivators began exhibiting symptoms of unstable cultivation technique flow, with signs of mana dissipating from their bodies. They thought they were going through a Deviation, each took leave and sealed their cave residences, striving to resolve their internal anomalies. However, only after sealing themselves in did the situation within them deteriorate swiftly. The power within them erupted like floodwaters, leaving them only the basic spiritual power to maintain their Nascent Soul. Moreover, their Nascent Souls were altered by some mysterious means, governed by a force seemingly from the void.

In just one day's time, Wang Qi usurped the power of four Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, using it to augment the strength of his local network.

Ru Tianqi witnessed this entire process.

Wang Qi smiled at Ru Tianqi and said, "I'll leave the next steps to you, Great Elder. Kindly inform them that the Heavenly Demon Lord has temporarily requisitioned their mana, and if they're willing to abandon their dignity to serve the Heavenly Demon, their cultivation will return."

"Hmph…" Ru Tianqi snorted coldly, turning on his heel to leave the Quiet Room.

Yet Wang Qi called out to him: "Hey, wait a moment."

Ru Tianqi endeavored to show a dignified expression: "What other orders do you have?"

"Let me see... Hmm, this piece will do." Wang Qi rummaged through the savings of Elder Ru, who was a Luochen Sword Palace Elder, and pulled out a piece of Heavenly Gang Silver. This metallic mineral infused with Qi Intent was a top-tier treasure, not only hard but adept at accommodating cultivators' Gang Qi.

Wang Qi rubbed his hands, and dark red light flickered on his palms, as if shrouded in a thin layer of dark film. This was the Heavenly Entropy Technique operating at its peak. Wang Qi melted the Heavenly Gang Silver bare-handedly, then infused his mana into it. He twisted his hands, and before long, crafted three rings with different patterns. He tossed the rings to Ru Tianqi, saying, "They're yours."

Ru Tianqi was somewhat perplexed. These three rings crafted from Heavenly Gang Silver had decent strength, but ultimately only contained the mana Wang Qi focused on temporarily. What could these possibly be used for?

Wang Qi smiled and said, "You should know what Divine Plague Curse Technique is applied to you, right?"

"These are rings possessing the Divine Plague Curse Technique's function."

On Earth, even an outsider could use them — a USB drive carrying viruses!

A great killing weapon!
