Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Chapter 53: Aftermath, the Way



Twenty cultivators had come to repair the damage to the spiritual restrictions in the Trial Forest, most of them at the Golden Core Cultivation level. Soon, the beasts from the two affected areas were separated again, and new restrictions were cast over the sky, dividing the forest into two distinct parts.

However, the law required to evolve a hundredfold would need the Carefree Practitioner from Spirit Beast Mountain to replenish. For a long time, all trials related to the Trial Forest would be suspended.

Before the Immortal Alliance finished repairing the Spirit Prohibition, Su Junyu and his group couldn't leave. They simply gathered around to build a bonfire and chatted casually.

During this time, Wang Qi hadn't moved a step. It wasn't that he didn't want to move; the corpse of the Ghost-Faced Ape was nearby, and the smell was unpleasant. However, to his embarrassment, he found he couldn't stand up!

Not only that, he even felt cold and his hands were weak, unable to hold things firmly. The mana from Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy and Elephant Phase Wave Skill had been drained while attacking the Ghost-Faced Ape, and other strengths, led by Heavenly Calculation Power, had been almost entirely consumed in the fight against the Thunder Attribute Demonic Power. It was laughably ironic that, having been replenished by Thunder Attribute Demonic Power and still having plenty left, the Heavenly Song Power leaked out when he fell, maintaining a high voltage state by accident, resulting in the total loss of his mana! After mana exhaustion, the leftover injuries from battling the Thunder Attribute Demonic Power flared up.

The group had mainly built the bonfire because of him. Mao Zimiao took out a thin blanket from her Storage Bag and draped it over Wang Qi, while giving him a reproachful look: "Told you not to act tough, meow."

Wang Qi could only offer a wry smile.

Raising the voltage to add electrical resistance was indeed unreliable. Among the various Anti-Thunder Technique proposals provided by Thunder Pavilion, this one was not highly recommended, only to be used when constant contact with the enemy was maintained, and the enemy's cultivation was higher than one's own.

If he had Faraday's Cage, which was Thunder Pavilion's Prison Thunder Spell...

However, Prison Thunder Gang Qi that perfectly clung to one's body without affecting one's spellcasting was the ability of a Great Grandmaster. He shouldn't set his sights too high for now.

Besides Wang Qi, Mao Zimiao and the other two hadn't decided what they wanted to exchange yet. With a large sum of merit points suddenly credited to their accounts, they were all excited and discussed loudly among themselves.

Su Junyu asked, "Hesitating about what to choose? Got anything you fancy?"

Wang Qi nodded, "I personally prefer the 'Soul Theory of Calculator.'"

The book was not only inexpensive, but it also had the Law Gate that combined the principles of Mathematics Magic Devices with the cultivation of Yao Ding Calculating Scripture. He sought to connect theory with practice, and it was crucial to delve into such material. Furthermore, he wanted to integrate the Evolution Algorithm from Earth's computer theory into his Cultivation Technique to facilitate the evolution of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas mental method.

Su Junyu shook his head disapprovingly, "You're aiming too high. Senior Xi has actually arranged the reading list in order."

You have no idea how profound a top student's knowledge is...

Wang Qi thought to himself but turned his attention to the top of the reading list.

"'Geting Collection Volume One'? What's this? 'Geting Collection' sounds like a poetry anthology."

It was impossible to correlate this with any Earthly work...

Su Junyu explained, "Geting is the study of Master of Calculation, Xi Baiche, a sacred place in the hearts of Wanfa Disciples."

So it was actually the 'Hilbert Complete Works.' Wang Qi thought, and then inquired, "Is this book a collection of Senior Xi's papers?"

Su Junyu shook his head, "It's not that simple. Although the authors of 'Geting Collection' are mainly Calculation Masters, it's not the work of just one. Geting was originally the study of the predecessor Sect Leader of Wanfa, Gao Si, the Calculation King. After Senior Xi took over as Sect Leader, Senior Gao handed Geting to him. Geting is a series of articles composed by two generations of Wanfa Sect Leaders and their secret friends while exploring mathematical reasoning in Geting. These articles, although unsystematic and somewhat incomplete, are a record of the predecessors' cultivation journey. The first volume of 'Geting Collection' mainly consists of works written before several predecessors achieved their path, covering many aspects of incorporating mathematical reasoning into cultivation."

"Besides, if you're interested in 'Soul Theory of Calculators,' you don't necessarily have to exchange for it now," added Su Junyu. "I've exchanged for this book. If you're interested over the next few months, feel free to discuss it with me."

Su Junyu didn't realize that Wang Qi had already understood 'Computers and the Human Brain' and related mathematical fields in his previous life. In his view, such discussions were effectively one-way teachings to Wang Qi. Mao Zimiao, Wu Shiqin, and Wu Fan, seeing this, also joined in to discuss what they were planning to exchange.

After the discussion, Wang Qi joked, "Senior Brother Su, it looks like you'll be sacrificing quite a bit of cultivation time soon."

During their earlier discussion, Su Junyu had also promised to take time to guide the others.

Su Junyu explained, "Cultivation in the Human World is mainly about cultivating the Mental State. One's mana cannot progress too fast. Besides, teaching you also solidifies my own foundation." With nostalgia, he added, "Speaking of which, back then, your Senior Sister Xiang, and a few other partners of mine were brought here by a Foundation Establishment Stage teaching assistant Senior Brother. The principles we discussed by the bonfire last night were also taught to us by him."

Mao Zimiao exclaimed, "That sounds so interesting, meow!"

Su Junyu smiled, "Though the Modern Immortal Path has only been founded for over two thousand years, it has grown stronger with each generation. In the end, it comes down to four words, 'inheritance in order.'"

The lineage is unbroken, so my path is not solitary!

Wang Qi lowered his head, smiling gently.

This is the world I love.

Grandpa, now I am truly happy.

——————————————————————————————————

"Geting" is derived from "Göttingen," i.e., the "Göttingen School."

This school has long led the development of world mathematics; Gauss, Riemann, Klein, and Hilbert are all great minds from the Göttingen School—three hundred years of inheritance, two generations of kings of mathematics.

Göttingen to mathematics is what Copenhagen is to quantum physics.

In reality, Hilbert was indeed Gauss's academic descendant, a direct lineage by the standards of martial arts.
