Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 321 - 75 Announcement [Extra Update 6]
When a personnel report signed by both Chen Feng and Wang Qi was thrown in front of Ke Ha'er, the Carefree Great Cultivator was somewhat taken aback.
This way of throwing things wasn't very polite, but he couldn't afford to retaliate. Because if he considered himself standing at the peak among cultivators who could stay carefree, then the other party was at the pinnacle of that very peak.
"What's the matter, Elder Feng? Did you swallow Sun True Fire or Earth Core Poison Flame?" Ke Ha'er asked cautiously.
Feng Luoyi spoke indifferently, "This is your purpose, isn't it?"
Ke Ha'er carefully picked up the personnel transfer application, glanced at it, and exclaimed joyfully, "Finally, it's done, this matter."
"I just don't understand. If you really value that disciple so much, why not simply summon him back to Yangshen Pavilion? Why go through the trouble and effort to transfer Wang Qi there?"
"There are some issues with the young ones that we, the elderly, shouldn't interfere with," Ke Ha'er laughed. "We all went through that stage, you know it too—if I intervene aggressively, I'm afraid it might leave scars. This is a lifetime matter—how long is a cultivator's lifetime, right? If small issues accumulate…"
"Your expertise is in analyzing souls, not dissecting hearts," Feng Luoyi interrupted Ke Ha'er's reasoning, "And there's no need to involve Wang Qi in this."
Ke Ha'er was not low-ranking and immediately understood today's topic from Feng Luoyi. He immediately cried out, "I didn't cause your disciples to be at a disadvantage, did I?"
"How so?"
"The Chen Feng's Empirical Department was the only one not significantly reduced in this broad cutback campaign. Plus, I secretly provided him with a batch of low-level equipment. All in all, he still made profits. Currently, in the entire Divine Capital, he alone has a large amount of surplus funds," Ke Ha'er explained. "If Wang Qi wants to obtain sufficient merit, he will definitely find Chen Feng."
Seeing that Feng Luoyi did not respond, Ke Ha'er continued, "You know as well that the kid naturally has an unusual soul, and he might face huge obstacles when breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage—learning a bit about souls isn't a bad thing. Haven't you studied it too?"
"I am me, and he is he. He is growing now; it is the time he should be focusing on mathematics," Feng Luoyi spoke sternly. "Chen Jingyun expelled him from Wanfa Sect and said it was to be cautious of the Banished Immortals, but what is this of yours?"
"And, neither the anomaly in his soul nor the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Barrier would be a problem for him."
Finally realizing the root of Feng Luoyi's attitude, Ke Ha'er questioned, "Did that kid do something astonishing again?"
Feng Luoyi waved his hand, and a small booklet appeared out of thin air in front of the two.
"This is a new paper that just arrived this morning from Divine Capital. It's Wang Qi's."
Ke Ha'er picked it up, flipped through it, then furrowed his brows and showed a thoughtful expression.
Although he knew that the paper that could change Feng Luoyi's attitude must be extraordinary, honestly speaking, he couldn't quite understand it, let alone comprehend the significance of the paper.
Feng Luoyi closed his eyes, "This is True Mathematics, Metamathematics."
"Ah?" Ke Ha'er exclaimed, "Isn't this a domain only top mathematicians can step into?"
"This young fellow just barged in there, and did an even better job than I did!" Feng Luoyi quickened his speech, "Better than I did! Truly the conception of a genius."
"I am puzzled, but you did write two books," Ke Ha'er said.
"Just my two books are not a breakthrough like this paper," Feng Luoyi said, "Metamathematics Three Questions, Proof of Completeness, Proof of Compatibility, and Evidence Proof. This paper is a major breakthrough in the Proof of Completeness!"
Ke Ha'er chuckled bitterly, "The situation has changed. This brash young fellow is no longer a tainted genius; he is the future Peak Level Cultivator now."
Feng Luoyi seriously stated, "I am completely unconcerned whether he can take the final step. I am only interested in when he will take it."
The two were silent for a moment.
"This was just delivered, along with this application," Feng Luoyi continued, "Just as you were in the Illusion."
"So?"
"I, along with Teacher Xi and other colleagues from the Wanfa Sect, will gather to research this paper," Feng Luoyi said earnestly. "At that time, I will be fully committed there, so I hope to discuss with you about rejecting this application."
Ke Ha'er gave up his bitter smile, revealing a determined look: "We also cannot do without him."
Feng Luoyi thought for a moment, or checked the data, then realized: "So it's a lack of mathematical statistical reasoning?"
"Although the Bai Ze God Monarch always says that as long as the computational power increases and the algorithms themselves are sophisticated enough, it will definitely be able to accurately describe every detail of a system, we have also taken the path of turning the soul into a calculator, achieving terrifying computational power to then dissect the human heart. But it really doesn't work. You just mentioned it, I can only analyze the soul, not dissect the human heart."
"So you all..."
Ke Ha'er looked at Feng Luoyi: "Now, the top arithmeticians are focusing on the highest mathematical and metamathematical problems under the leadership of Ximen Master, but we also have our own path to pursue!"
"I see, so you also need someone to design a 'Seeking Dao Artifact' specifically?"
Ke Ha'er nodded: "Years ago, Yuanli Master used calculus as a tool to conquer the three great Heavenly Principles. We also need a handy 'Dao Artifact' to forge our path. Wang Qi is undoubtedly a genius who can drive the development of mathematics. But it's precisely such geniuses that we need to craft our 'Artifacts'."
"Chen Feng has some interesting ideas in this field, although they are quite unorthodox, but it's a path nonetheless. If he can't adapt to the atmosphere of Yangshen Pavilion, then I will simply let him settle in Divine Capital. If he can return, great; if not, let him cultivate there on his own path. Wang Qi's capability to support him at the beginning of their Dao-seeking journey means that Wang Qi's mathematics will likely lean towards our side a bit."
Ke Ha'er pleaded: "Although Wang Qi is very talented, this paper probably has many parts that are mere flashes of inspiration; he still needs to accumulate more, not ready to dive into exploring metamathematics. So, lend him to us for a while."
"Moreover, with Wang Qi staying in that empirical department, my Yangshen Pavilion will increase the funding for Chen Feng's Empirical Department, how about that?"
Feng Luoyi's expression relaxed, and he said teasingly: "It seems your disciple will be the one benefiting after all!"
"Can you just agree?"
Feng Luoyi solemnly said: "I need to discuss it with Teacher Xi, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Wang Qi showed an interest in probability during the uniform martial arts examination, and minimal mathematical statistical reasoning is also part of it; let him work on it. Then after some time, we will also get involved in Divine Capital."
After discussing with Ke Ha'er, Feng Luoyi's form dissipated into a pile of operators, scattering away.
This is the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, Feng Luoyi's domain. He thought of home and was instantly there. His consciousness, after a short period of darkness, appeared in front of an old man.
Xi Baiche's face was filled with joy.
"In the past few years, how many truly talented and knowledgeable individuals have our Wanfa Sect admitted?"
Feng Luoyi sat opposite Xi Baiche. The conference room was already full of people.
Xi Baiche looked around slowly and said: "Equal to zero, equal to zero!"
"But today is different!"
Finally, this monarch of mathematics declared with his own voice that the history of mathematics in Shenzhou had turned a new page.
————————————————————————————————————
Note 1: In the previous chapters, Wang Qi's disbelief in his own proof of the Completeness Theorem mirrors Godel's reaction after proving the Incompleteness Theorems. The Incompleteness Theorems were just too perfect, and Godel couldn't believe he had proven them himself.
Note 2: The last few words spoken by Xi Baiche were what he said when he vehemently convinced others to accept the female mathematician Ruote into the Göttingen Scientific Society.
Note 3: The author needs recommendations. This is the first time with a daily update of ten thousand words. Asking for recommendations and rewards.
