Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 451 - 204 Report, Dark Department, Cleansing Demonic World

After the only one among the three Golden Core Cultivators with any fighting capability was cleanly disposed of by Wang Qi, the remaining two were easy pickings. Seeing Wang Qi flip his stance so decisively, Lin Zongdi attempted to detonate his Golden Core, only to have his head cleanly severed by a sword from the ever-prepared Wang Qi.

Wang Qi had a particularly large psychological shadow over opponents' self-detonations.

After dealing with those two Golden Core Cultivators, Wang Qi approached the captive who was still burning with White Flame and dragged him toward the direction of Divine Capital. A vine cultivated with a full drop of Emperor's Liquid and a massive amount of Holy Light suppressed every muscle of Priest Li, even going as far as to form a fruit in his mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide. As Wang Qi walked, he pressed his hand on the Seeking Dao Jade, continuously monitoring the signal. After confirming that he could access the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, he slammed the captive down on the ground, knocking him out, and then activated the Seeking Dao Jade.

Wang Qi said to Zhen Chan, "Old man, according to my calculations, there's nearly a hundred percent chance I'll encounter a high-ranking member of the Immortal Alliance this time. Do you believe me?"

Zhen Chan really wanted to roll his eyes, but he didn't have any eyes, and his current Soul Power also wasn't enough to project an image in the real world, so he could only say, "Is there any fun in pretending to be confused when you know what's going on? Is there?"

Wang Qi laughed loudly and instructed Zhen Chan to keep an eye on this Divine Tao Witch. Then he submerged into the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm.

As expected, Feng Luoyi was marked as "online."

Wang Qi stimulated the "Anon" marker in the contact book, his consciousness sinking once again, and soon he found himself in another space.

The usual chat room background used by Feng Luoyi, at the center of the Book Tower.

Feng Luoyi sat beside a low table. Wang Qi walked over and sat down opposite Feng Luoyi, greeting him, "Teacher Feng, it's been a while."

"It sure has," Feng Luoyi's expression didn't reveal much change—perhaps he had already altered his virtual image in advance, "Where have you been these days? And you've even achieved Foundation Establishment?"

Wang Qi inwardly scoffed at the performance, "Well played," but outwardly, he respectfully said, "Disciple has been assisting a disciple from Tianling Ridge with the investigation of the demon occurrences near Divine Capital, venturing out on a long trip. Teacher Feng, you should be aware of it."

After a brief pause, Feng Luoyi finally said, "Indeed, there has been a concrete evidence plan submitted, and the notifications for entering the Demon Clan habitats have been properly filed." Then, Feng Luoyi suddenly changed the subject, "However, this should have only required three to five days at most, and for Foundation Establishment, that seems rather rushed."

Wang Qi almost laughed. His own Foundation Establishment was termed "rather rushed," but that was after being delayed by the influence of World-Purifying Evil Power. For a normal cultivator, five to six days of preparation was enough. Those cultivators who didn't pursue higher quality in their Magic Foundation were even known for being able to "achieve Foundation Establishment today, engage in combat today, without affecting cultivation or work." He cleared his throat and replied, "Disciple encountered remnants of the Ancient Method unexpectedly in the ruins, and it took a great deal of effort to come out alive."

Wang Qi then recounted his experiences in detail, including about refining the Immortal Artifact and the legacy of the Mathematical Sect. Feng Luoyi showed no reaction upon hearing these things, but when he learned that Wang Qi had captured a Priest of the Hongyuan Sect alive, he finally showed a slight change in his demeanor.

"Let's move somewhere else to talk," Feng Luoyi stood up, and the Illusion shattered. Wang Qi felt a sense of weightlessness and when he looked again, he was back in his own body. Feng Luoyi's apparition was carefully examining Priest Li's body.

Feng Luoyi looked up and asked, "Can you mimic the Qi Intent of a Demon Statue?"

Wang Qi frowned, "That's a bit difficult."

Although the Heterodox Demon Statue also uses Entropy-increasing Power at its limit, it has a subtle difference from the Heavenly Entropy Technique. If the Heavenly Entropy Technique is said to imitate meaningless dissipations in the known phenomena of Shenzhou to increase entropy, then this Demon Statue originates from some unknown phenomenon. That entirely chaotic and uncontrollable alien strength is somewhat different from the Heavenly Entropy Technique.

Seeing Wang Qi in difficulty, Feng Luoyi shook his head, "Never mind, I'll send a specialist over."

As they were talking, the space in front of Wang Qi transformed, with light mist flowing and a four-dimensional hyperobject unfolding in front of him, projecting a sphere in three-dimensional space, within which a bridge of Spiritual Energy could faintly be seen. On that golden bridge, a person in blue robes was gradually approaching.

"This is..." Wang Qi was somewhat surprised. At that moment, a man in a blue robe crawled out from inside the transparent sphere and bowed to Feng Luoyi, "Senior Feng, junior Liu Yi, at your service."

Feng Luoyi explained to Wang Qi, "Little Liu is a cultivator from the Immortal Alliance Dark Department, specializing in handling some matters that cannot be made public."

Wang Qi, curious, asked, "The Immortal Alliance Dark Department? Teacher Feng, what is this..."

"Now is not the time for unnecessary questions." Feng Luoyi's brief sentence blocked Wang Qi's inquiry. Liu Yi, standing to the side, felt a bit dizzy looking at this scene.

Who is this youngster? To be able to receive such attention from Senior Feng...

Feng Luoyi then asked Liu Yi, "Little Liu, did you bring the item?"

"Rest assured, it's here." Liu Yi, curious, glanced at Wang Qi once again, then walked over to Priest Li, using magic to awaken him, "Get up!"

Priest Li had just woken up and didn't know what had happened. Liu Yi yanked out the obscenely shaped fruit from his mouth, then placed a fragment in front of him and demanded, "Do you recognize this?"

"Do you recognize this?"

Wang Qi's breath hitched. This... this thing was definitely a fragment of a Heterodox Demon Statue!

Priest Li shrieked, "Heterodox! Beasts! How dare you defile a World-Purifying divine object... mmmph..." but Liu Yi stuffed his mouth again.

Liu Yi said, "Seems like he recognizes it."

Wang Qi wondered, "Heterodox Demon Statues are excavated from the ruins of the Demon Clan, and the power of the Hongyuan Divine Power is very close to that of the Heterodox Demon Statues... Could it be that the Hongyuan Evil God existed a million years ago as a Divine Spirit of the Demon Clan? An Evil God born from the incense fire worship of the Ancient Demon Clan, surviving until now?"

Feng Luoyi remained noncommittal, but Liu Yi wore an expression of 'let's form a good relationship, little brother,' explaining, "That's impossible. Little brother, do you know where the Heterodox Demon Statues are usually placed? Right underneath the altar in the Demon Clan Temple, firmly locked down. They are meant to be suppressed forever! The Ancient Demon Clan didn't worship these things, they sealed them."

Wang Qi shuddered at the thought that he might have made his Foundation Establishment above a dozen Heterodox Demon Statues. "The relics over there just had all their Spiritual Power drained, not functioning properly..."

"We will send someone to handle it," Feng Luoyi reassured Wang Qi and then instructed Liu Yi, "This level is sufficient, take him away."

Liu Yi hoisted up Priest Li. At that moment, Priest Li chewed the fruit in his mouth to pieces, spat out the remnants, and laughed loudly, "The Ancient Demons attempted to suppress the World-Purifying Envoy, but what of it? They were still annihilated... The Sunward Demon Tribe is the exemplar of today's Demon Alliance..."

"Shut up!" Liu Yi knocked out Priest Li and shook his head, sighing, "This one is beyond saving."

"Take him, pry out every secret," Feng Luoyi ordered indifferently.

Liu Yi left through the spatial tunnel he had arrived from. Wang Qi, however, stood there, lost in thought about Priest Li's last few words.
