Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 438 - 191: The Changes in Immortal Heaven

Fortunately, Sage Zhi Long was just an illusion without overly rich emotions or excessively complex thoughts. He did not dwell on Wang Qi's peculiar insistence on the "twelve sets" and continued his own story.

"We crafted this set of Immortal Artifacts originally to establish ourselves in the Immortal Heaven after ascension. Besides the Mathematical Ring, which had to be lastly brought up as a symbol of the Mathematical Sect, the rest of the artifacts ascended with their owners. However, Geometric Demon Lord Ji Midu was ambushed during the great battle between the Righteous Path and the Evil Path and met an unexpected demise, with the ring 'Mathematics' getting lost by accident. Mathematics as the core, a strong enough refiner could sense the location of the other components, but the other parts could hardly sense the location of Mathematics, only able to detect it when in proximity. Many of us were disheartened and did not ascend with the remaining components."

In the Middle Ages, the Evil Path rose in the North Wilderness, battling intensely with the Righteous Path and leading to the decline of various schools of thought, with Divine Tao reviving thereafter. Then, Shenzhou entered the era of family sects, the system undergoing several changes, but overall, it was the most ignorant era.

Geometric Demon Lord was obsessed with Mathematics. One day, after a ferocious battle, he was deducing the various properties of 'the circle' when the Demon Path took advantage of the laxity within the Righteous Path, sending an unparalleled demon to infiltrate their camp and assassinate the Geometric Demon Lord.

Since then, the Immortal Artifact Mathematics was lost.

"We set up several sites of inheritance, leaving the remaining components inside. Remember well, these are the refining diagrams, methods of refinement, and methods of application for the other Immortal Artifacts."

Wang Qi received the jade slip handed over by Sage Zhi Long and pondered how many merit points it could exchange for while politely saying, "Senior, you don't have to be so courteous. I'll thank you in person once I ascend to Innate!"

Wang Qi had always believed that among the Modern Cultivators, there was only one Ascender, Yuanli Master, because Modern had only a history of two thousand years. Not having ascended now did not mean never having ascended.

Sage Zhi Long gave a wry smile and shook his head, "No need."

"Why so polite? Once we get to Immortal Heaven, we can discuss Mathematics over wine..."

"Yes, discussing Mathematics with a junior like you would indeed be a joy." Sage Zhi Long's expression was sorrowful, "But, I have already died."

Wang Qi was startled, "What happened?"

"My native body and I have a mysterious connection, and although I do not know what exactly occurred, I am aware of the counterpart's status." With a dark expression, Sage Zhi Long spoke slowly, "Immortal Heaven is not an endlessly joyful place, but its environment is still better than Shenzhou. My magic power also increased, though about a few thousand years ago, a calamity struck Immortal Heaven..."

Wang Qi anxiously asked, "What calamity?"

"I do not know, only that I and some companions went into hiding across the myriad heavens and worlds to escape the disaster, but still could not avoid our demise."

Wang Qi felt somewhat dazed. Could it be that the Carefree Practitioners not ascending was not due to insufficient accumulation of Modern Cultivation or incompatible ascension rules, but rather another reason?

"I do not know much, but one thing is certain—we left behind some clues about this calamity, and this set of Immortal Artifacts is buried together with those clues. Whoever finds the Mathematics in Shenzhou will surely discover our arrangements," Sage Zhi Long earnestly entreated, "You must pass this message on to today's disciples of the Mathematical Sect. No need to worry about the artifacts being stolen... Remember, you must bring them!"

"This is my final request as a former senior of the Mathematical Sect!"

Wang Qi nodded, "Rest assured, I will definitely bring them."

Those few sentences exhausted the illusion's remaining strength. Watching the figure of one of the Middle Ages scholars dissipate, Wang Qi stood stunned, filled with countless emotions.

In this world, no one has truly seen a Longevity Guest.

The sound of breaking stone awakened Wang Qi. He looked around to find the surrounding stones had lost all their luster, turning dull. The delayed million years of time seemed to burst out in an instant, and the cracks spread across the surface of the structures like living evils.

The Middle Ages Cultivator, who had just refined the Immortal Artifact, had exhausted all the energy of the ruins. With the dispersing remnants of Sage Zhi Long's thoughts, this million-year-old city also reached its end.

"It's no time for sentimentality." Wang Qi collected his thoughts and murmured secretly, "If the sky falls, there are tall ones to support it, if the Reapers come, there is Divine Castle, and if an opposing spiral comes, meet it with a drill. I only need to pass this message back to the Immortal Alliance to have done my duty."

But if he died here, then this information exchanged by the forebear of the Mathematical Sect at the cost of longevity would all disappear!

Thinking this, Wang Qi stood up and stretched his limbs. This feeling was very strange. Although he had no special sensations, his body indeed had established a Foundation. His powerful mana no longer circulated through the meridians but along the Magic Foundation. Wang Qi tried to draw his sword. With a random flick, a powerful Sword Qi immediately appeared. Wang Qi let out a clear long cry and executed a series of sword techniques. This was his limit in past days, as dense Sword Momentum rolled out like tidal waves, unstoppable.

But this was still not the limit.

Wang Qi accelerated his sword speed. Sword technique was not just about speed but about coordination with mana and proper variation. Faster sword speed required equally fast mana circulation, and the techniques must not be chaotic for them to be potent. Wang Qi's sword speed was more than ten times faster compared to the Qi Cultivation Stage? But the Sword Law was perfectly precise!

Suddenly, Wang Qi's movement changed, giving an indescribable awkward sensation. Upon closer inspection, his sword did not adhere to the trajectories of three-dimensional space, mysteriously vanishing and reappearing!

This was High Phase Sword Skill! Wanfa Sect's High-dimensional Sword Technique!

Wang Qi's swordsmanship had long broken through to this level—Chen Youjia had once revealed the secrets of high-dimensional swordsmanship to tease him during his Qi Cultivation Stage. At the time, Wang Qi could not use it due to insufficient calculation power, but he had thoroughly memorized the application method of this peerless sword technique.

Now, after breaking through to Foundation Establishment, he had finally used it!

"I seem to still have strength left…" Wang Qi realized he had not reached his limit yet and slightly surprised, the Sword Tao Formulas in his mind changed, adding another(variable?) variable once more.

Adding a variable meant adding a dimension. Five-dimensional movement was many times more complex than four-dimensional.

But still, it was not the limit!

Wang Qi continued until he utilized the six-dimensional sword technique before feeling it was difficult to continue.

"Every increase in dimension exponentially raises the calculation amount, and with infinite dimensions, or uncountable dimensions, even an ordinary supercomputer would crash, but that's a domain I can't touch for now."

Wanfa Sect's high-dimensional sword technique is based on Mathematics, involving a reanalysis and reconstruction of space, distinctly different from the four-dimensional and twelve-dimensional concepts in physics.

Regarding his own swordsmanship, Wang Qi was very satisfied. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
