Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 565 - 317: The Missed Wave

In Shenzhou, developing a theoretical system is a monumental task. The classic process in which a physical theory takes shape goes from the experimental to the theoretical. One observes phenomena, induces and summarizes them, and then uses the language of mathematics or clear definitions to express them. Although there are occasional exceptions, many of the subjects of theoretical physics have surpassed the scales observable by humans, so there are often theories derived purely from mathematical deduction; yet these theories still need to be verified in practice, and their application to the observable scale of humanity cannot contradict any known phenomena.

However, the "phenomena" of this universe are exceedingly complex. At any scale, Spiritual Energy looms like a ghost, a Yin Soul that never disperses, stirring up "phenomena" into a bizarre and bewildering array. The Cultivators of Shenzhou can't even imagine at what point they will be able to rid themselves of this disastrous entanglement with this physical quantity. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

If the progress of earthly physics is like the mighty flowing of great rivers, then the pace of Shenzhou is like a babbling brook, causing one to worry whether it might dry up in the next second.

Nevertheless, shrouded in fog, Shenzhou continues to advance.

In the past year, the Northern Country Sect of the Wanfa Sect achieved Nirvana in Probability Theory. The establishment of the new Probability Theory has led to a fresh round of updates in statistics, with new mathematics tools emerging forthwith.

Physics, closely linked with mathematics, has enjoyed an explosive development. Even the classical systems that haven't seen major progress in a long while have made further strides with this tide, not to mention the closely contested Shape Comparison Technique and the Mysterious Path.

Although this mathematical breakthrough is equally important for the Cultivators of the other sects, they do not have the same flash of Inspiration as Mysterious Palace and the Guiyi Alliance. The Cultivators of Tianling Ridge, naturally poor in mathematics, were the last to react, but they still managed to publish new behavioral research papers by the end of the first half of the year. Additionally, several Grandmasters were promoted to the state of Primordial Spirit for their research on the phenomenon of "Demonization."

Furthermore, due to the major news made by the Genting Sect, with the Master of Calculation at the helm the year before last, many Cultivators of Mysteriousness and Guiyi have turned their attention to this field, hoping to gain insight from pure mathematical reasoning and interpret the microscopic world from a new perspective.

For example, it has been proposed that the concept of probability at the quantum scale needs to be rewritten, and logic recast. At normal scales, probabilities can only be greater than zero but less than one; however, at the quantum scale, there might be higher "super-probabilities" or perhaps all previously summarized logic needs to be discarded in favor of a new logic that integrates experiments at the subatomic level.

Yet, all of these discoveries together are not as significant as one.

The discovery of the positron.

After eliminating the annihilation phenomena driven by Spiritual Energy, Cultivators finally found the positron in an environment free of Spiritual Energy.

This discovery directly resulted in a Daoist from the Mysterious Palace bypassing Nirvana and soaring straight into Carefree status—regarding how many Carefree individuals the Immortal Alliance has had... it seems that not many people remember. According to the temporal perspective of Cultivators, in recent centuries, someone ascends to a state of Carefree Travel every few years. Other than generating electricity to celebrate, the Immortal Alliance didn't have much of a reaction.

The real significance of this discovery is that the Carefree Practitioner "Infinite Sea Master" Di Lanke updated the Di Clan's Infinite Heaven Element, making the Infinite Sea of Vacuum easier to grasp, and Quantum Field Theory clearer.

This was followed by the renormalization of the electron magnetic moment and a certain type of displacement, and Quantum Electrodynamics finally shed its awkward position as rootless duckweed, becoming worthy of inclusion in textbooks.

Countless Laws were developed. These Laws, freshly conceived, were Spells with a power weighting of five. After being engineered, standardized, normalized, and simplified by specialized Spell experts, this batch of new Spells even stood a chance of reaching the height of a power weighting of seven or eight.

The tumult in the theoretical community is like a wave sifting through the sand, best at separating the talented from the mediocre. Due to the addition of Spiritual Energy, the physics of this world is very complex, making it hard for young people with insufficient background to participate in major changes. However, some Geniuses are able to keep up.

For instance, in the Guiyi Alliance, there emerged a Genius Disciple named Ai Changyuan who distinguished himself remarkably. What was astonishing is that his primary True Cultivation was in Gravity instead of Electromagnetic Force. To see him amidst the fervor of Quantum Electrodynamics was actually quite a terrifying thing.

Even the top Cultivators of the Guiyi Alliance were forced to turn their attention to this genius.

Ai Changyuan was almost the perfect model of a Modern Cultivator, with an extraordinary background, exceptional talent, and a stellar record... Wait, something seems off?

He wasn't the top graduate from the Immortal Institute?

When thinking of Ai Changyuan, some Cultivators only then remember that there is also a person named Wang Qi. However, the Cultivators of Wanfa Sect, as well as those from the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion, a Sect affiliated with Wanfa Sect, think of much more.

For example, the Mathematical Logic from the year before last and Wang's Completeness Law from last year. The scenes of Wang Qi initiating two waves of mathematical progression are still vivid. His speeches during the Dao Artifact Award were nothing short of earth-shattering. There were even a few Mathematicians who, following his initial address, were reorganizing known mathematics. The Thousand Mechanism Pavilion began restructuring logical language, and Wang's Completeness Law became compulsory material.

Additionally, some remember that during his time at the Immortal Institute, Wang Qi mainly practiced the Heavenly Entropy Technique and the Elephant Phase Wave Skill, supplemented by Heavenly Song. It seemed that he intended to refine his Mathematics and then decode the Heavenly Dao, which is why he joined Wanfa Sect. This thinking was not uncommon; the Daoist of Uncertainty was once a scion of ill-repute from Wanfa Sect, and Taiyi Heavenly Venerable was also a notorious delinquent of the Sect.

It seems he might be even more likely to enter this field than Ai Changyuan.

However, over the past six months, the direction from Divine Capital has been entirely left to its own devices. The "nobility" Intermediate Skill Cultivators seemed to form a stagnant pool, devouring every ripple stirred up by the Immortal Alliance.

There seemed to be no action worth mentioning there.

Frankly speaking, Wang Qi had already achieved results that completely surpassed those of Ai Changyuan. However, many people still sighed in regret, feeling that this once genius was merely a meteor-like figure, not an eternal star.

Some also began to criticize, claiming that this genius seemed not to even have received traditional sect education, with insufficient accumulation compared to his peers.

Chen Jingyun, the Sect Leader of the Wanfa Sect, found himself under inexplicable pressure.

Some Grandmasters were aware of certain insider information, knowing that a Carefree Great Power thought highly of this "prematurely fallen" genius. They approached Feng Luoyi directly, asking for intervention in Wang Qi's growth, at least sending a few competent Transmitting Technique Elders.

Feng Luoyi, however, just smiled and shook her head, "That kid is undergoing a transformation. The less we interfere, the better."

When Feng Luoyi said this, he was holding a very strange book in his hands. This book hadn't been officially published yet, it didn't even have a title. It was only circulating among a handful of people in Tianling Ridge and Feng Luoyi himself.

This was Wang Qi's work. He was attempting to elucidate the Human Dao of Shenzhou from the perspective of Immortal Dao technology, using mathematics to construct a model of the Human Dao.

Just a few decades ago, this would have been an incredibly arrogant undertaking. Mathematics had not yet reached the great stride where it could calculate anything and everything. At least, no one dared to touch the terrifyingly complex things like "Human Dao" or "history".

Just as Feng Luoyi had said, Wang Qi was transforming.

The Immortal Dao civilization had created the unique status of "Cultivators." Cultivation was an engineering process that could be repeated, but the perfect path for an individual required construction according to certain principles. Modern Cultivators had to be simultaneously scientists, engineers, and technicians. Cultivators with long lifespans took this for granted, but Wang Qi always felt somewhat out of place.

He excelled in theory with accumulations beyond even those of Grandmasters. Yet, practice was his greatest weakness. Relying on fantasies from his past life, he could come up with some imaginative spells, but he was still some distance away from the true core of technology.

This time, through the summarization and organization of the history of Immortal Dao technology, he grasped the pulse of this world's civilization. His understanding of cultivation itself grew deeper. This was a huge advancement for Wang Qi.

Even if he formed his core, perfected his spells, Wang Qi was merely a "scientist who understood cultivation". But now, he truly was a "Cultivator."

His theoretical accomplishments transformed into strength at an unprecedented speed. Wang Qi himself might not have noticed, but Chen Youjia, who was with him at every moment, could feel the youth's changes.

It was, frankly, exponential growth.

The most obvious change was that two years after his Foundation Establishment, he had already firmly entered the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment without the slightest flaw.

His cultivation was barely catching up to Chen Feng and Chen Youjia, and in terms of combat power, he was even subtly surpassing them.

Wang Qi had also considered getting involved in the development of quantum electrodynamics. But, far from Divine Capital's advanced physical laboratories, he couldn't get first-hand information as quickly as Ai Changyuan, making his start difficult. He could recite some of the more famous quantum electrodynamics papers, but copying Earth's papers in this world was pointless.

Yet, this spurred him to deep reflection.

"I shouldn't assume that all the theories this world hasn't discovered are just waiting for me to reveal them," Wang Qi thought. "This year, I should be able to sort out the Divine Tao and take control of the Life Flame. Then, the seeds for the Immortal Dao Industrial Revolution in this world will have been sown. For the mortals of this world, I've done what I could, with a clear conscience. Next, I can consider setting up my own advanced laboratory."

"Just as the technological revolution begins, being the first to promote Divine Tao Industry will certainly reap massive benefits. Then, over the past two years, my reputation in the field of mathematics almost blew up. Though Chen Jingyun can still keep me out of the sect with a word like 'rules' or 'safety regulations', no one can stop me from applying for my own Empirical Department."

"Jarvis will be the strongest and most skilled experimental assistant, one that's worth a dozen others. By that time..."

Thinking this, Wang Qi couldn't help but reveal a sleazy smile.

"That's an ugly smile," Chen Youjia said expressionlessly, twisting Wang Qi's face, "Your plan, it's too ambitious."

"But I have absolute confidence," Wang Qi said with a smile. "After all, I'm too strong, and the 'Little White Mouse' is excellent enough."
