Exploring Immortality Cultivation
Chapter 505 - 259: Life Flame Seal, Xiangyu Heavenly Position

Liu Yi led Wang Qi on the way to the top floor of the central building in the residence area, where the calculators were stored. Wang Qi "inadvertently" brought up the situation of his "war trophies": "Mr. Liu, did the interrogation of that Hongyuan Sect's Priest yield anything useful?"

"This matter is inauspicious," Liu Yi said with a look of displeasure. "The Divine Tao is quite peculiar. The core Divine Spirit Cultivation Method, the Divine Spirit Cultivators absolutely will not reveal to a second person. As for witchcraft, haha, it is meant to be spread to the world anyway, and it holds no value in interrogation. We had just scooped out a bit of useful information when that Divine Spirit used a faint connection from the unknown to destroy the Priest, and it even caused us some trouble…"

Although Liu Yi spoke lightly, Wang Qi felt nothing but alarm.

Only Primordial Spirit Masters who have become Modern Method Cultivators and stand unequivocally in line with the Immortal Alliance could have access to such "secrets." In other words, those who could interrogate or Soul Search Priest Li could only be Cultivators above the Primordial Spirit.

Being able to strike from afar, with a single distant hit, causing trouble for a Primordial Spirit Cultivator, they would undoubtedly be stronger than a Primordial Spirit Cultivator in direct combat.

Could a Divine Spirit of the Ancient Method who can firmly suppress a Primordial Spirit Master be equivalent to the Body Integration Realm? Or even the Mahayana Realm? If it's the Mahayana Realm, that would mean the Hongyuan Cult has already converted nearly half of Shenzhou's population into Believers, which seems utterly impossible.

This ratio is just slightly lower than the percentage of Buddhist Followers of the total population of Earth!

Buddhism has what kind of influence on Earth? Yet how is it that the Hongyuan Sect remains a secret Cult until now?

"Little Wang, what's gotten into you?"

"Oh, I was just wondering how strong the Hongyuan God really is, and what exactly 'following the faint connections' entails," Wang Qi replied.

Mr. Liu stroked his chin: "Within the Divine Tao, the connection between Believers and Divine Spirits has always been a challenging point. The Mysterious Palace and Guiyi Alliance also differ on this, mainly focusing on the explanations of 'Gravity Waves' and 'Quantum Spirit Field.'"

Gravity is the weakest of the four fundamental forces, its strength being a trillion times smaller than that of electromagnetic force, the second-ranked force, and it can be disregarded within an atom. The gravity created by the matter of a planet can even be offset by the muscle of an ordinary carbon-based Life Being. However, it is also the force with the largest range—its range of effect is virtually "infinite." Precisely because of this, gravity can build up grain by grain and govern the entire Cosmic. Earth Scientists have speculated that gravity is so weak because it penetrates all dimensions and spacetime, such that much of its strength is lost. And its infinite range can ignore any obstacle.

A Quantum Spirit Field, on the other hand, pervades spacetime as a spirit field of non-local Extraordinary Power. This type of spellcraft, based on the concept of diffusion, can also produce ghost-like "action at a distance."

So this is where the debate lies between the Guiyi Alliance and Mysterious Palace... Wang Qi nodded thoughtfully before asking, "Mr. Liu, if I want to apply to research this area, what procedures should I follow?"

Mr. Liu frowned: "You want to study Divine Tao? Forget about it. The principle of the Immortal Alliance when using people for empirical evidence is 'informed consent'; it's impossible for you to establish a Divine Sect. There are a few Demon Clan tribes still in the dark over in Fusang, but they all have Cultivators of Primordial Spirit and Void Refining watching over them, you won't be able to contest."

Regarding the essence of Religion, one philosopher on Earth had a very astute summary—"When the first liar met the first fool, Religion was born." This approach of covering all the Great Dao and truths of the world with a single perspective undoubtedly constitutes "deception" and contradicts the principles of biological experiments. If it were Earth, it would still be okay; there's never a shortage of Believers. However, Shenzhou has been "swept" too clean, leaving nothing for study.

"Just speak directly, what procedures do I need to follow?"

Seeing Wang Qi so insistent, Liu Yi shook his head, "First, you need to get a letter of recommendation from a Divine Tao researcher. Without knowing anyone, that's impossible to achieve—for all I know, you haven't returned to the Mountain Gate, right? Next comes the vetting process. The Immortal Alliance will hand over all your records to a vetting committee, who will then hold a vote."

Hmm, the first part is easy, Chen Feng is one. But the second step, political vetting... damn it, I wound up in this depressing place precisely because I failed the political vetting!

Liu Yi continued to suggest from the other side, "If you really want to do it, Little Wang, how about asking Mr. Feng? Mr. Feng..."

"I certainly don't have the leisure to take care of that for him," came Feng Luoyi's voice through the wall, "Wang Qi, come on in."

Liu Yi gave a wry smile, pushed Wang Qi forward, then turned and left. He still needed to handle the data analysis of two other Grandmasters; the orphan left first.

Feng Luoyi's phantom stood in front of a large calculator. The main body of this massive calculator occupied half the room, with its ancillary devices spreading across the entire wall. Here, Feng Luoyi could perform the most precise operations.

Sealing the Life Flame of Foundation Establishment Level in Wang Qi was not difficult; what was challenging was how to seal it without harming Wang Qi himself, as it was closely related to his life and Mana System. Even Feng Luoyi had to be cautious and materialize his specific calculator.

"As for matters of the Divine Tao, you'd best not get overly involved." Upon meeting him, Feng Luoyi scolded Wang Qi with neither harshness nor softness. The two did not talk much further and started the pre-arranged sixty percent.

Feng Luoyi's hand rested on Wang Qi's head. Rolling Spiritual Power surged into Wang Qi's body, initially without pronounced effect. But soon, the Space-Time Metric altered, laws of motion changed. Wang Qi only felt a peculiar mutation occurring in certain areas inside his body. Veins and nerves remained, so did cells; these ordinary substances continued to move according to three-dimensional laws. Conversely, near his heart, it seemed as if Spiritual Power was guided into another dimensional space—a sheer, translucent layer enveloped a sheet of paper. The drawing was clearly there, yet it couldn't be seen clearly.

After this strange seal formed, Wang Qi felt like something was missing from his body. The illusion of boundless energy disappeared, and there was a subtle sense of fatigue.

"I have established a Taiyu Ether in your body. An infinite Xiangyu should be intricate enough. It will take Life Flame a long time to adapt to these new laws," said Feng Luoyi, looking at Wang Qi solemnly, "However, the evolution of Life Flame has never been linear, and I can't predict precisely when Life Flame might adapt to Xiangyu's laws, then grow and breakthrough."

"You must ensure you grow faster than Life Flame. Otherwise, in a few years, if Life Flame breaks free, it will be even stronger. You should learn about the Life Path. Also, you must master the secrets of Xiangyu and integrate them into your cultivation practices."

Wang Qi nodded strangely. He was doing the former, and as for the latter... he had done that in his previous life.

"By the way, when you last used Xiangyu Calculation to predict the fate of an entire city's people, your Magic Foundation underwent some changes," Feng Luoyi suddenly said to Wang Qi, "I have good news and bad news."

"The good news is that your Heavenly Position Technique is vaguely progressing towards the Xiangyu Heavenly Position Technique. But the bad news is, you might not find a completely compatible Core Formation Method anymore." (To be continued.
