Exploring Immortality Cultivation

"However..." Ai Qinglan changed her tone, "I personally have a guess, which you might as well consider—'Order' could also be seen as Spirit Sense, and to annihilate 'Order' is to annihilate Spirit Sense. And Spirit Sense has materiality..."

"In that case..." After pondering for a moment, Wang Qi found it to be highly plausible!

Information is a physical quantity that eliminates uncertainty. A system inevitably contains information. On the other hand, "information" is a property of matter, just like "mass" and "energy." In other words, information is material.

The famous formula from Special Relativity shows that mass and energy can be converted into one another. Meanwhile, Shannon's information theory derives the energy needed to input or erase a bit of information. It is unclear whether it is the difference between the physical rules of two worlds, but the Spirit Sense theory of Shenzhou goes even further, even deriving the formulas for the conversion between Spiritual Energy, mass, energy, and information!

Simply put, in Shenzhou, a USB drive that has stored enough information would become heavier, more high-spirit, and possess more inherent energy!

"This is not the Life Path, so my speculation may not be accurate. Alright, come back to your senses!" Ai Qinglan clapped her hands, "Back to the original question, the reason you have the Divine Skill to see through Life Span is because you have also cultivated other mental methods."

"So it's the Heavenly Entropy Technique..."

Wang Qi had already had some suspicions, but after Ai Qinglan's reminder, how could he not understand? The Heavenly Entropy Technique has an innate sensing of Entropy Value, Heavenly Song is keenly aware of changes in the surrounding Spirit Energy Field, Book of Geometry excels in abstraction, Yao Ding Calculating Scripture is precise in calculations, and Heavenly Calculation Atlas directly points to the Essence of Life. It was not strange that these spells combined could create a Divine Skill to discern Life Span.

At this moment, from somewhere unseen in the picture, someone seemed to call out to Ai Qinglan. She responded, then said, "That's enough talk. You should understand everything you need to know, right, junior brother? But my intentions are profound! If you want to pave your own path, you have to contemplate it deeply! I'm busy, gotta go!"

As soon as her words ended, Wang Qi's interface turned pitch black.

Wang Qi didn't rush to put away his calculator but sat down to think.

As a researcher in theoretical physics in his past life, Wang Qi had read Schrodinger's "What is Life?" and understood the close relevance of life sciences and physics. However, he had previously viewed these two fields in isolation, too one-sided, without linking them.

The most classic example was the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, which was no less than any Supreme Divine Skill when it came to top mental methods, but in his own hands, it could only serve as a buffer for various mental methods, devoid of any marvel.

But Ai Qinglan's recent words had truly opened the door to the Heavenly Calculation Atlas for him!

Indeed, the Heavenly Calculation Atlas didn't rely solely on biology!

Observing thousands of species, understanding the path of survival, that is one path; examining fossilized Dragon Bones to establish models of Evolution, that is another path; delving into the Microscopic layer and exploring the mysteries of lineage from a gene perspective, that is yet another path.

Then, seeing the Essence of Life as a Negative Entropy System and reviewing it from a physics angle, using Mathematics to analyze and construct it—this is also possible!

"Although I have considered incorporating Probability Theory and Chaos Algorithm into the Heavenly Calculation Map to trigger changes in uncertainty, and using the Mutation Model to adapt to the evolutionary Heavenly Calculation Map, completing the essence leap of the Cultivation Technique, due to the Shenzhou Mathematicians' disdain for Probability, I was unable to proceed..."

"But in fact, I have another path I can take!"

"The Heavenly Entropy Technique is a mental method of Entropy, although it is generally used with Entropy-increasing Ability to harm others and is seen as a destructive Divine Skill, it truly possesses Entropy Reduction Ability! If used well, the Heavenly Entropy Technique is also a Cultivation Technique that directly points to the Essence of Life!"

"I'm not familiar with genetics, ecology, but I'm very familiar with the second law of Thermodynamics, the law of Entropy! Establishing a Mathematical model is not too difficult."

The law of Entropy on Earth is considered the highest of scientific laws, content that any scholar studying theoretical physics must learn!

At this point, Wang Qi also recalled his previous conversation with Feng Luoyi.

"Consciousness as data..."

Consciousness as data, data as information. This is the fundamental principle behind Earth's scientists designing artificial intelligence, and also the belief of a great Mathematician.

Data is a special kind of information that can be processed. And consciousness is nothing more than a system organized in the form of Negative Entropy.

Physical Body and Consciousness are built on the same foundation, both are systems, both are Entropy.

Mathematically speaking, they are sets, and their "Order" is logic.

Wang Qi's eyes brightened. In that instant, he understood something.

"So that's how it is... In truth, I've already grasped the essence of Cultivation and the path towards the highest Realm..."

"The human body is a sophisticated system, and like any system, it can be analyzed through System Science and abstract Mathematical models can be established..."

"Human Consciousness can be simulated with Chaos Mathematics. The human Physical Body is the crystallization of Evolution, also engaged in inaccurate self-reproduction, a manifestation of Chaos Mathematics..."

"Chaos and ambiguity have extensive applications in the realm of physics. Not to mention Entropy, a concept in physics that System Science cannot avoid!"

In the youth's eyes, he seemed to see a soaring Azure Dragon and a White Tiger fighting and entangling. Suddenly, the form of the Azure Dragon collapsed, transforming into a stream of data. The White Tiger, on the other hand, was gradually consumed by a flame void of light and heat.

"My life's Cultivation is not about subduing the Dragon and Tiger, harmonizing water and fire, but about using physics theories and Mathematical methods to derive the commonalities of the Physical Body and the Xinling. For me..."

Nature is Spirit Sense, Life is ruled by Entropy.

With this understanding, Wang Qi felt a sudden lightness within him. The Mana from the Heavenly Calculation Atlas and the Heavenly Entropy Technique seemed to break free from some kind of restraints, flowing more freely. The two originally distinct Mana, after circulating through a complete Circulation, began to blur at the boundaries, seemingly fusing together.

Due to the convergence of the Heavenly Entropy Technique and the Heavenly Calculation Atlas mental methods, the balance of various Cultivation techniques within Wang Qi's body was once again broken, and the calm and stable Mana Flow became turbulent, rushing and surging through the meridians. However, the Mana of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas protected him, preventing him from being harmed in this imbalance. Soon, a cool sensation surged up from the depths of his body, forcibly returning the Mana Flow to Order.

Heavenly Entropy Technique, Entropy Reduction, initiating the Law Gate of restoring the system to a state of reduced Chaos.

Heavenly Entropy Technique, formally profound and esoteric.

Heavenly Calculation Atlas, breaking the barrier once more.
