Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 466 - 219 Preparation and Launch

In the following month, Wang Qi lived a life of leisurely walking dogs and teasing cats in his spare time... or rather, being walked by dogs and teased by cats. Thankfully, these little monsters had basic consciousness and knew not to disturb the "teacher" when he was busy with serious matters, or else the "teacher" would definitely get angry. It was in the company of these animals that Wang Qi completed his recent plans in the field of mathematics and systematically organized the math knowledge from his previous life.

For Wang Qi, this was an exceedingly important matter. Within all the Law Gates, the Heavenly Material Circulation that represents physics had the broadest scope and strongest power, and it was also the one most likely to become the ultimate existence in the legends of the Immortal Dao. Physics, as a discipline, was always the closest to mathematics.

Take Newton, for example. Removing his achievements in physics and looking solely at his mathematical contributions, he was still one of the top mathematicians in history, and he developed calculus merely to find a suitable mathematical tool for his own theories of physics. At the Solvay Conference, the Copenhagen School and the Non-Copenhagen School fiercely disagreed with each other, yet it's worth noting that mathematicians from the Göttingen School were mixed into both camps...

Mathematics of an era deals with the physics of that era, with mathematics usually advancing ahead of the development. It is rare that mathematics cannot handle the problems posed by physics.

Of course, there are exceptions, like some transmigrators who cheat.

Wang Qi's knowledge of physics was too advanced for the current era of Shenzhou, and it would take considerable time to reacquaint with it.

Among these, the scholarly endeavours of the Bourbaki School were key.

In the past few days, he had gone through the latest mathematics journals and discovered that the Genting Sect's focus had once again shifted to proving concepts of completeness, compatibility, and decidability, while the Bourbaki program that Wang Qi had once mentioned was selectively forgotten.

Wang Qi was somewhat disappointed by this, but it was not a surprise. In the eyes of the Master of Calculation, this prematurely born program was considered a clever strategy rather than the Righteous Path. Their main work was still to forge a solid foundation for the Master of Calculation. Even if they had to accept the program under pressure, the specific problems they addressed were somewhat similar but not identical to those of the Bourbaki School on Earth.

Before their beliefs were shattered by incompleteness and undecidability, few people would regard the programmatic ideas of the Bourbaki School as the correct approach.

Moreover, the Genting Sect was centered around Xi Baiche, a peerless prodigy, and was a closely connected sect from top to bottom. Their theoretical system, like this organization, was straightforward and centered around the work of the Masters of Calculation, as opposed to the complicated and entangled theory system of the Bourbaki School.

Looking at these results, Wang Qi could only sigh, "I hope it doesn't all fall on me to continue... I really can't handle it alone..."

This was the most fundamental and yet most profound part of modern mathematics, and it was barely within the scope of Wang Qi's abilities. The more basic the research, the harder it is to translate directly into practical applications. Furthermore, Wang Qi was at a delicate stage—six years into Foundation Establishment and nine years into Core Formation—which meant that he needed to focus on areas that could directly bring about gains in cultivation, instead of doing foundational research that would take several mathematicians a couple of generations to complete on his own.

However, with the many papers already published by the Genting Sect coupled with the material he had spoken about at the Dao Artifact Award event, he should be able to attract some Arithmeticians to join this major project... If I solve one problem and they solve another, perhaps in ten or twenty years, when I reach the Primordial Spirit stage, much of the early work in this field will be completed?

Perhaps, once I enter the Primordial Spirit stage, I can use the one that claims to explain everything...

Besides mathematics, Wang Qi also had to ponder the strategies of the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword's first layer of swordsmanship.

Like other cultivation practices of the Modern Immortal Path, the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword did not possess any "true intent" that could only be understood and not communicated. Instead, it had a first layer that was incredibly complex, with each successive layer in the secret manual becoming more abstract and variable. The first layer of this peerless swordsmanship technique was indeed a set of intricate foundational skills, but to Wang Qi's surprise, it was akin to a simple, third-rate swordsmanship technique with a very narrow range of attack.

As it turned out, the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword was distinctly different from other schools of swordsmanship. The standard Sword Qi is mana expelled along the edge and spine of the sword to form a Qi Blade that usually takes the shape of a line, and sometimes an area. However, the Sword Qi of the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword dispersed in the form of a Probability Cloud, with the area permeated by the Probability Cloud representing all possible trajectories of the sword momentum. The reason the first layer of swordsmanship had such a narrow range of attack was to confine the "possibilities" of the sword momentum, allowing the Probability Cloud to exist only in a certain area.

With the textual description of the sword techniques, Wang Qi came to understand that the practice of Sword Qi Quantum Cloud typically began after mastering the first layer of sword momentum. This ensured that one's own sword momentum did not carry the possibility of impacting oneself. The second layer involved observing and actively guiding one's Indeterminate Cloud Sword Qi to collapse into a decisive strike.

This was approaching the use of divine and demonic methods to turn cause into effect!

After making his plans and completing his contemplation of the sword techniques, the one-month period was almost up. Feeling that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a teacher, Wang Qi bid farewell and returned to Divine Capital. He informed Hu Buxue that he would be extremely busy for the next month or two and would not be visiting, but he would return in August to perform the Spirit Awakening for these little demons.

The Enlightenment Technique of Spirit Awakening was no longer a difficult task for Wang Qi. Not only was he adept in the orthodox Enlightenment Technique, but Wang Qi also had extraordinary divine substances to aid the process—lest one forgets, he had a full jar of the Spirit Awakening Holy Medicine, Emperor's Liquid, at his disposal.

Wang Qi originally wanted to pat one of the little cats on the head and tell it they could look forward to the Spirit Awakening ceremony in August. However, this little tabby merely nudged his hand away and flicked its tail. In its mind, a teacher who didn't play with them was not a good teacher.

Wang Qi laughed heartily three times before turning to walk towards Divine Capital City. The June sun blazed hotly, yet not a hint of impatience or fatigue showed on Wang Qi's face.

The strength of his physical body, now in the Foundation Establishment Stage, was gradually becoming apparent. Even without using mana, his nature was incomparable to that of mortals!

Upon returning to the Divine Capital, Wang Qi once again immersed himself in his laborious work. Chen Feng began to adjust the research plans of the Empirical Department, decreasing the number of empirical studies for the next month. It was partly to temporarily conserve resources while waiting for the Merit that Wang Qi was to contribute, which was not known when it would arrive. Additionally, it was a preparation for next month's major project.

The study of Pseudo Postnatal Will.

Then, in July, all the preparatory work was completed. Several figures projected into Chen Feng's study. (To be continued.
