Exploring Immortality Cultivation

"The reason people are defeated is 'shame'. It is because of 'shame' that people die... Anyway, when doing good deeds, don't be afraid of being laughed at as a fool, don't harbor a heart of shame."

When Father Wang Qi, in the guise of a Holy Light Priest, preached for the Silver Dawn, Wang Qi's real consciousness had split off a thread and was rolling around laughing in his own dream: "Ahahaha... It's just that I find it too shameful, that's why I can't face it myself! If I were to say these words myself, I would definitely burst into laughter! Hahaha!"

"'Fate' is always our 'partner'. If you feel hardship, suffering, or confusion, it is just the 'trial' it gives us, the path to the Holy Light. You must be prepared to face everything."

"Enlightened ones are always happy!"

"Perhaps you will think that foreseeing a terrible present might lead to despair, but actually... it's quite the opposite! Even if you know you will die tomorrow, having enlightenment in your heart means you will not fear death! Enlightenment will blow away all despair! Humanity will change for this reason! This is what I pursue! Everyone can reach true happiness through 'the stairs to Heaven'!"

"To reach the Holy Light, there are fourteen Law Gates, fourteen keywords. Today, I will teach you the first one—Spiral Stairs."

"Tianling Ridge once analyzed the Human Clan's bloodline. The most fundamental structure of bloodline is like this, a double helix. This is also evidence of the Holy Light as the Light of Life!"

The doctrine of Holy Light was more complicated than the Circle of Reason. This was not because Wang Qi was more devoted to it. The "Circle of Reason," which was disguised as Science, was actually harder for him to comprehend and far removed from his own way of thinking. On the contrary, Holy Light, whether Earth's reality, Earth's game settings or Shenzhou's Divine Tao for thousands of years, had countless things he could copy directly.

And as Father Wang Qi preached the path of Holy Light, this small room was also filled with a milky white fog of light. This was Holy Light simulated by Wang Qi using spells. Although its efficacy was far below the Holy Light Divine Power rooted in the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, this move was teachable.

Holy Light is a Negative Entropy Force, which can turn Chaos into Order and gift life to lifeless objects. According to Wang Qi's theory, if this messy, non-personal divine spirit could be born, then there is a great chance that Holy Light would promote this process.

Moreover, Holy Light itself is also a good spell, it's a rare skill that allows healing while fighting and can assist in cultivation. For these cultivators, tangible Strength is the capital for standing out. Therefore, the four who might become more fanatical due to the power of Holy Light compared to the other four.

"There are two things, the more deeply and persistently I think about them, the more wonder and awe they inspire in my heart, and they keep growing day by day. These are the stars above my head and the Dao Morality in my heart. This is also the source of Holy Light's power, and I hope you will consider it carefully..."

Moreover, Wang Qi wasn't really cheating them; what he said about "the path of Holy Light" did contain some of the true essence of Holy Light. Being Negative Entropy, it naturally coincides with Dao Morality, the order of the human heart. And Holy Light indeed originates from Tianling Ridge's mental method, the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, and is closely related to Life.

Compared to the Circle of Reason, which could likely lead to becoming Citizen Science, the treatment of the Silver Dawn was still not bad.

After completing the brainwashing for today, Wang Qi stepped out of the yard, pulled out the Pseudo Personality Card, reverted from the "Father Wang Qi" state, and then checked all relevant data once again.

"When I was bluffing, there was a slight change in the Spiritual Energy. Looking at the timing, it was when I was spouting nonsense about 'the path of Holy Light.'"

It looks like there might be some results on the Silver Dawn's side?

Wang Qi was not sure. Even Chen Feng, who had the qualification to study Divine Tao, couldn't decipher much of the Divine Tao's information. And Divine Spirit Cultivation Method of the Divine Tao was absolutely not to be shared; a Cultivation could only produce one Divine Spirit, and Zhen Chan also did not know much.

"Really... Now we can only hope for those Banished Immortals." Wang Qi stepped out of the yard, sighed, and muttered: "Even if Du Bin was scared away and didn't dare to come, he still had to deliver my message, right?"

"Brother Wang, what are you talking about?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Qi's words came out, Du Bin appeared as if he had been waiting for a long time from some corner.

Wang Qi asked: "Brother Du, did you deliver the message?"

Du Bin did not directly answer Wang Qi's question, but instead glanced around the yard with a shifting gaze: "These days, you've been the only one coming here?"

Wang Qi sighed: "This matter isn't good for ordinary Modern Cultivators to know about—what, even so, those Banished Immortals still doubt my intentions? Besides, at best they are just a bunch of Nascent Souls, would the Immortal Alliance bother to scheme against them?"

Du Bin repeatedly apologized, "Brother Wang, I'm sorry, truly sorry. It's just that Mr. Zhao insisted I had to do this."

Wang Qi raised an eyebrow, "Have you delivered the message?"

Du Bin made a gesture to lead the way, "Brother Wang, please."

Wang Qi followed Du Bin as they made their way through streets and alleys. Along the way, Du Bin asked in a low voice, "Brother Wang, about the coin and the memory body you mentioned last time..."

"Oh, there are too many Innate Divine Seals, I haven't sorted them out by myself yet," Wang Qi would naturally not say that his recent focal point was on Divine Tao research, and instead took on the workload of Li Zhengguo and the other twenty or so people, pretending to be very concerned.

Du Bin was profoundly grateful and said no more. Soon, the two arrived in front of a small courtyard. Just like last year, Du Bin only led Wang Qi to the door without entering. Wang Qi pushed open the courtyard door, walked around the screen wall, and saw a large, ancient bodhi tree in front of the yard, thick enough to be embraced by three people, yet very low, its canopy not even higher than the roof of the house. Banished Immortal Zhao Qingfeng was sitting crossed-legged under this tree, with a heavy sword placed in front of him.

The heavy sword was edgeless, its masterful craftsmanship not flaunted.

Around it, three incense burners wafted columns of blue smoke.

Body like the bodhi tree, mind like a bright mirror stand.

Zhao Qingfeng opened his mouth to challenge, "What does it mean to serve others?"

"Always leave a way out, never push things to their extreme," Wang Qi sat opposite Zhao Qingfeng, "Not relying on the Immortal Alliance, nor trusting you, I can only depend on myself."

Then, Wang Qi gave a salutation, "I can serve others already, may I ask about spirits and gods?"

Such a statement had been prepared for him in advance by Zhen Chan, which indeed catered to the taste of Ancient Method Practitioners—although in Wang Qi's view, this was also silly. With such great assistance available to elevate me to Qingyun, why bother emulating those primitive non-social animals?

A glimmer of pleasure appeared in Zhao Qingfeng's eyes, "Very good, indeed, you are our brother."

"However, do you know that Divine Tao also belongs to the heterodox?"

But in the next sentence, Zhao Qingfeng's tone turned cold as he rebuked.

Wang Qi smiled lightly, "Brother Zhao, you should know that before I entered the Dao, I inherited the teachings of the Ancient Method Sect Luofu Xuanqing Palace, right?"

Zhao Qingfeng nodded. There was nothing to hide about this.

"The struggle between the Luofu Xuanqing Palace and the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao was for each other's cultivation techniques. Do you know why?"

A gleam of sharpness flitted across Zhao Qingfeng's eyes, "If you can come up with an explanation, I will grant your wish."

Wang Qi said, "The cultivation method of the Luofu Xuanqing Palace contains the Innate Five Taos within the five great Daos, and among them, the 'Da Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture' even cultivates all five Daos at once, making it the strongest mental method among the Ancient Methods. Coincidently, the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao's 'Emperor's Extreme Shocking World Book' also contains five Innate Daos. However, it encompasses not the Innate Five Taos but the Innate Five Virtues."

"Even more coincidentally, in legend, these three types of fifteen Innate Daos—Innate Five Taos, Innate Five Virtues, and Innate Five Elements—any two sets of ten combined have the chance to leap through the Dragon Gate, transcend Heaven and Earth, and achieve carefree longevity."

Wang Qi looked at Zhao Qingfeng and shared his ultimate guess, "If I'm not sensing it wrong, the secrets of the Innate Five Virtues are also hidden within the Divine Tao."

If the Innate Five Taos represent five forms of material existence, and the Innate Five Elements are the manifestation of Entropy Increase, then what about the Innate Five Virtues?

Five processes of establishing Order!
