Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Zhen Chan was still muddled, but Wang Qi had already keenly recognized the meaning of Feng Luoyi's words.

The part about the Primordial Spirit contained the principles from the Golden Core to the Primordial Spirit. It was clearly a cultivation theory that broke through the Heavenly Barrier and pointed directly to the Primordial Spirit!

This was a section not taught at the Immortal Institute! With this part, he only needed to spend some time to find his own path and break through the Primordial Spirit Heaven Barrier!

But why would the Carefree Great Cultivator disclose this to him so rapidly?

Wang Qi looked at Feng Luoyi with some confusion. The Great Cultivator said frankly, "You might have misunderstood something. The mystery of the Primordial Spirit is not a secret. The reason the Immortal Alliance keeps it undisclosed is mainly because if cultivators knew about this too early, they could easily stray off the path."

Wang Qi thought for a moment and then understood what it meant. To construct his own "Special Solutions," he must have enough understanding of the existing theoretical system of the Immortal Alliance, also known as the "General Solution." Only with the knowledge of the General Solution could he successfully create Special Solutions.

Without knowing the General Solution and the universal theoretical system, focusing on "one's own theoretical system" could easily lead cultivators astray, studying theories that only they understand and acknowledge.

On Earth, such people are also called "Citizen Science."

Feng Luoyi continued, "My Primordial Spirit is a Special Solution of Heaven and Earth. As long as my Mana Wave reaches a place, Heaven and Earth will inevitably change into that state. This is not because I forcefully will it, but because Heaven and Earth accommodate my mana, transforming their own form—this is what 'Heaven and Earth's Power is mine' means."

Without needing to try, Heaven and Earth share the same strength!

What kind of realm was this?

"This is also where the Primordial Spirit and Nascent Soul diverge between the Modern and Ancient Methods. Each Primordial Spirit is a singularity of Heaven and Earth, whereas a Nascent Soul is merely a Spiritual Body born of the Golden Core and Soul—maybe even seen as an organ of a Spiritual Body?" Feng Luoyi enthused, "The barrier of the Primordial Spirit is not just because it's difficult to achieve a Primordial Spirit, but it also highlights the vast disparity between the Golden Core and the Primordial Spirit. Once one attains a Primordial Spirit, it's possible to deconstruct Heaven and Earth, and even the most powerful attacks from a Golden Core are ineffectual against a Primordial Spirit. As for the Nascent Soul avatars, they can be considered as slightly more powerful Golden Cores with more Divine Skills. This is also why Modern Golden Cores can at most defeat Ancient Method Nascent Soul, while Modern Primordial Spirits can easily handle Ancient Method Unification."

Wang Qi quizzically asked, "The cultivation of Ancient Method Mahayana also hinges on one's unique understanding, so..."

"The understanding of Heaven and Earth in the Ancient Method is fundamentally flawed. When they expand such a Magic Domain, they will only be restored by Heaven and Earth back to the normal state, essentially making them an enemy of the entire Heaven and Earth, not to mention achieving the effect of Heaven and Earth's Power."

Wang Qi nodded thoughtfully.

Feng Luoyi suddenly realized, "Ah, I've gone off topic without realizing it. I always can't stop when it comes to my research. I hope you don't mind."

Wang Qi hurriedly said he dared not. Feng Luoyi waved his hand and out of nowhere, a tea table, two cushions, and several cups of clear tea appeared. Feng Luoyi gently sat down, then indicated the other cushion for Wang Qi to sit. Seeing Wang Qi looking slightly nervous, Feng Luoyi asked, "You seem a bit tense? I reckon I'm considered approachable, right?"

Wang Qi took a deep breath and said, "You are a mathematician I deeply admire."

This was no flattery. Whether it was the previous life's Von Neumann or the present Feng Luoyi, both were great mathematicians. What's more commendable was that unlike most mathematicians of the same caliber who were purely into theoretical mathematics, Von Neumann's main focus was applied mathematics.

This man had not only expanded mathematics itself but had also propelled the world forward.

Feng Luoyi didn't expect this answer and laughed, "I thought the young geniuses didn't care about anything."

"Not valuing the achievements of predecessors does not allow one to stand on the shoulders of the giants and reach higher."

Feng Luoyi nodded, "You are very clear-headed."

"Enough understanding of restraint,"

Feng Luoyi suddenly shifted the conversation, "Regarding the fact that you can't return to the Mountain Gate, do you harbor any resentment?"

Wang Qi spoke candidly, "I dare not bear resentment, but frustrations are inevitable."

"Not daring?" Feng Luoyi smiled, "It's probably not likely."

"Yuanli Master pioneered the rationalization of cultivation methods, enabling everyone thereafter to comprehend others' achievements. Sharing each other's Dao Fruits became possible. The way of seeking Dao in the Modern system has turned into a game where 'all cultivators together solve a problem,'" Wang Qi explained. "As long as I still want to cultivate the Modern method, staying in the Immortal Alliance is the best option."

"Nicely said."

Wang Qi continued, "The Modern method does not favor the Banished Immortals. If I were in Chen Jingyun's position, I might not allow a Banished Immortal to enter the Mountain Gate either. It's just that—Chen Jingyun's methods were too underhanded, which really annoyed me. There was no intention to let me in from the start, so why beat around the bush? Just a direct rejection would suffice, and I wouldn't have objected."

Feng Luoyi gave a wry smile, "There is some misunderstanding here... I'm not really good at discussing these matters, and besides, this is an issue between you and him. I'm here for another matter."

Feng Luoyi took several papers from his bag. Wang Qi saw that it was his own paper, "A Multi-Cultivation Technique Composite Magic Foundation Based on Calculator Theory." Feng Luoyi said, "This is quite interesting."

Before his idol, Wang Qi humbly responded, "It's merely an application of Elder Ji's calculator theory into an engineered structure, not worthy of the senior's attention."

"Indeed it's very interesting, quite refreshing," Feng Luoyi remarked. "Not many Cultivators practice more than three techniques, and even fewer have magic foundations combining multiple mental methods, especially ones that reach the first rank. Moreover, this magic foundation is based on my structure, so it wouldn't hurt for me to take a look, right?"

Feng Luoyi's calm demeanor dispelled any resistance from Wang Qi, "Naturally, you may."

"Furthermore," Feng Luoyi extended his hand and gestured over the paper, "Here, here, and here... These spots subtly surpass my structure!"

Wang Qi was incredibly surprised. The points Feng Luoyi indicated were all discussions involving Von structures and non-Von structures!

In his previous life, Wang Qi wasn't a computer scientist. His research on non-Von structures was limited, so he couldn't directly apply the classical non-Von structures from Earth into cultivation. Thus, he only discussed these in his paper, leaving a path for advancing from Von structures to non-Von structures.

These discussions weren't profound. To most, it would seem as if Wang Qi was either holding back part of his theory or that his mastery of the Von structure wasn't thorough. Yet Feng Luoyi had instantly grasped the underlying significance of these discussions!

True to his reputation as a top Arithmetician and unparalleled genius!

Feng Luoyi took another stack of paper from his pocket, "This is something new I derived from your discussion. I think your magic foundation can still be improved..."

Before Feng Luoyi could finish, Wang Qi felt a bit dizzy.

From the look of Senior Feng... Is he planning to help me refine my magic foundation!?

Wang Qi wasn't weak in theory. However, his universe, containing Earth, lacked Spiritual Energy, and Earth's physics didn't involve it.

The theory of Spirit Energy was undoubtedly Wang Qi's weakness, especially its applications. In the eyes of fellow Cultivators like Su Junyu and Ai Qinglan, Wang Qi's designed magic foundation was far from perfect. However, due to their unfamiliarity with calculator theory, they couldn't help Wang Qi refine his design.

And now, the one who proposed the calculator structure, the top Arithmetician in Shenzhou who understood calculator theory best, and also a Carefree Great Cultivator, Feng Luoyi, was about to intervene and help him refine it!?
