Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 553 - 305: Sending You a Boluo Divine Flame

Wang Qi stepped outside the door and felt somewhat agitated.

"One standard, one rule is indeed the truth." It is not only reflected in physics but also naturally in all aspects.

At the genetic level, life seems very simple, merely information that can be edited, transcribed, translated, and expressed. But this does not suit individual organisms anymore. Cells, tissues, organs, systems, and finally the whole organism—each level has its own experts studying it.

The thoughts of an individual and the will of a group both follow different scales of rules. Even the thinking of a small state and a great nation are not on the same level.

The divine laws that Wang Qi had already mastered and the human laws that could explain all social phenomena were not on the same level either. The difficulty of unifying them was almost as great as unifying the macroscopic and microscopic in the grand unification theory.

"Under what circumstances would an individual lie, betray friends and family, or a nation employ deceitful strategies, violate treaties—it’s not appropriate to judge these using the same values. It seems that more historical materials are needed to summarize the judgment made by groups under certain circumstances and then construct a Human Dao Cellular Automata."

If only I had studied history in my previous life... No, even if I had studied history, it might have been useless. While the relationship between collectives just involves splitting, merging, allying, and betraying, with "interest" as the core, the vast differences in the technological levels of two civilizations lead to completely different production relationships. Unless I was proficient in comprehensive political economics, only then could I begin to analyze the human laws...

Wang Qi began pondering how the earliest economists on Earth studied economics and how sociologists studied society. Unfortunately, all he could recall were stories about how Uncle Marx had spent over a decade reading in the libraries of the British Empire, from his middle school extracurricular reading and high school essay materials.

"It seems I need to go somewhere and get some credible historical documents to read... But the materials here seem to mainly be emperor and general stories, and documents that specifically record important rules about commerce, punishments, or irrigation are rare. How could I possibly have the time to sort through so much historical material?"

As Wang Qi strolled in the courtyard, he pondered whether to design a Path Rank specifically to select keywords from historical materials. While walking, he saw Chen Youjia dragging a large trunk toward him.

Chen Youjia was already sixteen or seventeen but had not grown much taller. The sight of the girl dragging a trunk almost as tall as herself made Wang Qi want to laugh, although he knew that a Foundation Establishment Cultivator like her would not mind the weight. Nevertheless, he hurried over to help, asking, "What are you dragging there?"

"It’s meant to be a thank-you gift. Chen Feng asked me to give it to you."

When Wang Qi opened the trunk, he found it filled entirely with books. He saw ledgers from a business hundreds of years ago, documents from the former dynasty’s Ministry of Revenue, or even specialized ten-volume works like "Food and Goods History"... such stacks of volumes filled an entire trunk!

Similar materials could be found in the Immortal Alliance’s library, but each and every book in this trunk was absent from the Immortal Alliance Bookstore, and despite the assortment, they all concerned specific timelines and specific localities, unlike those collected by Chen Feng over the years, which were scattered. These materials, now in Wang Qi’s hands, could completely establish a detailed social model.

Wang Qi then learnt that Du Bin had visited early this morning. He knew about Du Bin’s attainment of the first place in the clan contest. He still allocated a thread of tracking to monitor his experimental subjects. However, since Du Bin’s body contained only a minor part of coins and a Memory Body, he was not high on Wang Qi’s priority list to watch constantly.

Having claimed the top position in the clan contest yesterday, Du Bin’s authority in his clan had increased further. He understood that his current cultivation level stemmed from the Artificial Law Foundation and Demon Beast Divine Skills Wang Qi had given him. Hoping to bind himself more firmly to Wang Qi, Du Bin racked his brains thinking about what Wang Qi might currently need. Upon recalling that Wang Qi had mentioned needing certain historical materials, the prodigal son simply moved the musty documents from his family’s Library Tower. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

After all, these account books, even the most recent ones, were from hundreds of years ago; no one could deduce the current strength of the Du Family based on this data. And besides, the Du family valued various Ancient True Techniques most—these documents were unimportant.

But, in Wang Qi’s hands, these documents could generate a different value.

Chen Youjia then pulled out a bright red invitation, "That guy also sent this."

Wang Qi took the invitation which suddenly vibrated, sending a thought rushing toward Wang Qi’s mind. Without any thought from Wang Qi, the Life Flame circulated within his body for a moment, absorbing the incoming thought. Subsequently, Wang Qi’s mind was filled with new information.

"Wang Qi, my brother:

Today, during the hours of 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., we shall meet at Zhao Mansion in Dachang Alley to discuss profound philosophies and demonstrate spells. Hope you can attend.

Also, remember what was mentioned at the beginning of the year, lest you forget."

Seeing Wang Qi’s change in expression, Chen Youjia asked, "What’s wrong?"

"This invitation was sent by those Banished Immortals," said Wang Qi. "They mentioned that they want to gather tonight to connect emotionally and exchange Daoist Skills, and they invited me to join them. Also, when I was accelerating the Circle of Reason, I had asked Zhao Qingfeng for quite a few relevant spells, and now they have come to settle the accounts."

Poor Zhao Qingfeng, in order not to let others see his intentions, had to use this method to pass on information. In his mind, Wang Qi, intending to explore the Divine Tao and the Innate Five Virtues, and combine the hidden conformity of the Innate Five Taos with the Luofu Xuanqing Palace’s heritage, would inevitably have to distance himself from the Immortal Alliance. Many things could not possibly be disclosed to the Immortal Alliance.

This Banished Immortal leader was not truly a Modern Cultivator; he did not comprehend the value the Immortal Alliance saw in Wang Qi, nor did he understand the true purpose behind Wang Qi’s empirical proof of the Divine Tao.

Wang Qi pondered for a moment, "This fellow is here to settle accounts... It looks like I can prepare for the next empirical proof."

Wang Qi put the box into his Storage Bag and walked toward his room. Chen Youjia watched his back, biting her lower lip. Suddenly, she asked, "You’re not really going to their side, are you?"

Wang Qi waved his hand behind him, "What are you thinking about? Would a genius like me do such a thing?"

Chen Youjia replied softly, "These Banished Immortals, there’s something off about them. You should be careful."

After receiving the invitation, Wang Qi busied himself in his room for half the day. As dusk fell, he suddenly left the house and headed towards the designated location.

Dachang Alley, Zhao Mansion — the home of Zhao Qingfeng and the place where Wang Qi last asked Zhao Qingfeng for spells.

The same few Banished Immortals Wang Qi had met the year before last were there. Although their Mana had remained at Golden Core Perfection for two years, the aura they emitted had grown much stronger, faintly revealing their sharpness.

Upon seeing Wang Qi, the other Banished Immortals merely greeted him politely, with a slight sense of alienation. Wang Qi knew that until he reached Golden Core Perfection and was blocked by the Primordial Spirit Heaven Barrier, these Banished Immortals wouldn’t truly accept him. However, although Zhao Qingfeng usually had a cold demeanor, his greeting and speech subtly conveyed an intent to be amicable. The few Banished Immortals were all scheming—they couldn’t help but cast doubtful glances towards Wang Qi and Zhao Qingfeng, unsure whether Zhao Qingfeng had found another path to the Primordial Spirit or if he was tilting back towards the Immortal Alliance, or if Wang Qi had offered some kind of submission to assure Zhao Qingfeng.

Zhao Qingfeng said, "Wang Qi, share what you have prepared."

His words were few, but he implied that Wang Qi should demonstrate the Innate Five Virtues he had contemplated this past year. He assumed that the Banished Immortals would comprehend such techniques quickly. Unexpectedly, instead of sitting down to discuss the laws and the Dao, Wang Qi reached into his Storage Bag, "Brother Zhao, you know the rules of our line. There are some laws that I cannot and will not discuss. Some, even if I did, you wouldn’t be able to practice, so I might as well use this to settle the debt."

What Wang Qi pulled out was a cluster of pink luminescence. As soon as it left his hand, it flew into the air and morphed into the form of a young girl with a round face. The girl had long pink hair that cascaded to the ground, wore a pristine white gauze dress, wielded a wooden longbow, and had a pair of semi-transparent white wings on her back.

The entire venue fell silent.

At last, the Banished Immortal Shu Rongrong, clutching her neck, pointed at the girl and exclaimed, "Is this... this is, is this a Divine Spirit?"

The law embodied by this young girl was enigmatic, not conforming to any known cultivation from Shenzhou, but the profound and vast aura she emitted was as if the girl herself was the ultimate principle of Heaven and Earth, an inevitable law. Shu Rongrong herself couldn’t suppress the thought to bow down to this girl.

This was now the greatest taboo of the Immortal Alliance, a potential entity capable of controlling a certain Order, a true Divine Spirit!

"If Brother Zhao has been paying attention to where I have been in the past year, he should know what two things I have created," Wang Qi tentatively asked.

The relationship between Zhao Qingfeng and the Du Family was not clear, but they had contacted each other several times through Du Bin. Wang Qi would not believe that Zhao Qingfeng had no influence over the Du family. This question was a probe into Zhao Qingfeng’s influence in Divine Capital.

Zhao Qingfeng also hadn’t expected Wang Qi to directly reveal something so "explosive". He coughed, "I do know that, you haven’t published much this past year, focusing on creating Outer Objects that enhance people directly, and also... did you establish two Divine Tao Sects?"

Wang Qi nodded, "Fortunate for the Five Virtues laws given by Brother Zhao, and then obtaining the Holy Infant Sect’s three esteemed blessings, I established two Divine Tao Sects and cultivated two Divine Spirits. However, one Divine Spirit is enough; having two can only merge into one Divine System, which except for sharing incense fire, has no other benefits. I’ll just give this one to Brother Zhao." Saying this, he pushed the life-size figurine in front of him towards Zhao Qingfeng, "Originally, I intended to cultivate two Divine Spirits and then, using Modern Cultivator’s perspective, compare the differences between the two to contemplate the Innate Five Virtues. However, I’ve already finished researching this and since the discussion about the Innate Five Virtues is not happening, let’s use this to settle the debt. Even if Brother Zhao does not go to collect incense fire and refine her into his own avatar or disassemble her to reverse-engineer the Innate Five Virtues, it’s also very good."

Zhao Qingfeng controlled the young girl Divine Spirit with his Mana, looking at a loss, "The Immortal Alliance is not destroyed; I can’t establish a Great Sect..."

Wang Qi did not wait for his reply, and pulled out several clusters of white-gold flames from his chest, loudly declaring, "The other Divine Spirit I cultivated has accumulated some power and evolved into something akin to Divine Skills, which I have named the Boluo Divine Flame. Using the method of imparting Divine Skills that I bestowed upon the Du Family, I have re-refined it; it can be directly refined, or merged into Magic Artifacts. If you don’t like it, shattering it to revert to Spiritual Power for refining is also highly beneficial..." (To be continued.
