Exploring Immortality Cultivation

"Yin Yang Calendar, July 28.

The sixth day since the birth of the Holy Light God.

It has been three days since Du Gui's memories of worshiping the Holy Light were implanted, and five days since the souls of the experimental animals were placed around the cross.

The growth of the Holy Light God is quite rapid. However, relatively speaking, according to Zhen Chan's memory, it is comparable to a cultivator in the Ancient Method, roughly equal to a cultivator who has just summoned their first thread of mana. At this rate, it would take us about seventeen years to harvest a Divine Spirit of the Holy Light with the power of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

This contradicts Zhen Chan's memories, as well as historical records, perhaps because initially, all Divine Spirits were humans, who came out from the Divine Tao Sect system and had physical bodies that could absorb spiritual energy. It could also be because the sects of the four people are too weak.

The experimental subject, Du Gui, has not shown any worship or belief in the Holy Light, but he has already started to secretly practice the Holy Light Technique. As a specialized form of Life Flame in the spirit domain, he will soon discover that aspiring toward Dao Morality and maintaining mental negative entropy can enhance the power of the Holy Light. He will be brainwashed.

The Divine Spirit within that cross now has Qi Intent connections with the seven experimental animal souls. This type of connection is somewhat difficult to understand. It comes with an electromagnetic phenomenon [Note: white light], but the electromagnetic wave itself is very stable and does not possess the function of transmitting Spirit Sense. Speculatively, it might be a sort of pure spiritual energy phenomenon.

Unfortunately, the Spirit Energy Theory is not my strong suit. I should allocate threads to relearn it."

"Yin Yang Calendar, August 3.

The eleventh day since the birth of the Holy Light God.

The cross is gradually becoming unearthly. I can sense with my physical body an unusual power emanating from it.

It closely resembles my initial Holy Light Divine Skills, but there are distinct differences. Currently, this cannot be articulated.

The seven experimental animal souls are worshiped as angels and have become part of this Divine Tao System. They are clearly still within their bottles, yet I vaguely sense that the main bodies of these souls are no longer here.

Is it some special space-time phenomenon? Has that god established a so-called Divine Domain in a dimension or space-time fold that I cannot perceive?

Perhaps their method of connection is a kind of super-distance gravitational interaction?

For now, this remains unknown.

As the Holy Light God grows, the Qi Vein that directly connects it and me is becoming increasingly peculiar. It has begun to disperse, mingling with the circulating Qi Veins between heaven and earth. However, after trying several algorithms, I found that in the higher phases of the cosmic dimension, it invariably equates to a narrow and straight Qi Vein.

It feels like this god is gradually becoming a part of heaven and earth.

I've discovered that this Qi Vein points only to me. Perhaps it is because I hold a special position in this system? In this system, all information is fabricated by me, which might explain this effect?

Additionally, the second batch of experimental subjects sent by Du Bin has finally arrived. I have placed them in the vacant rooms in the rear wing, planning to divide them into two groups and involve them in either Silver Dawn or the Circle of Reason.

In the next few days, I will observe how these new individuals integrate into the two Divine Tao Systems. At the same time, I will break down the Innate Five Virtues based on new insights and reconstitute the Witchcraft. This practice should be able to exert a new influence on the gods. Perhaps, I can also use this to resolve the Divine Tao Qi Vein that keeps troubling me.

Du Gui, who has just started practicing the Holy Light Secret Technique, has not yet mastered it. Perhaps I should consider having Du Zhong guide him."

"Yin Yang Calendar, August 9…"

On the rooftop of that Divine Tao experimental base, Wang Qi waved his hand and tossed aside the experiment diary window he had just opened.

Although Jarvis was present and he could monitor those youths from any location, he still preferred standing here, directly experiencing everything. What level of cultivation did he possess now? As long as he kept silent, not even the Golden Core Cultivator Du Zhong would notice him!

The flow of spiritual power in the courtyard was changing. And synchronously changing was the "organization" of Silver Dawn.

Two newcomers had joined Silver Dawn.

This time, Wang Qi did not use the ghost soldier "White Snake." In the past six months, he had used White Snake to prematurely turn those eight youths into fanatics. But this time, he wanted to observe the natural progress of the Divine Tao.

"Now it's a six-person dynamic game," Wang Qi murmured. "Under what conditions will those four believers spread the ideology of the Holy Light? How will their words and actions reflect their differences from ordinary people? How will the two non-believers think about these believers' words and actions? And how will they transform into new believers?"

"When will their words and actions cause conflicts? When will believers waver or deny? When will non-believers be touched and converted?"

"After how many units of time will those two ordinary people be integrated into this system?"

Countless monitoring systems in the courtyard recorded the every action of the six youths, translating it into a language that Jarvis could understand, participating in the simulation of cellular automata.

More complex cellular automatons displayed countless possibilities. These possibilities were closely linked with the changes in the Spiritual Energy Field below.

"The changes in the Divine Tao System, the changes in Divine Power, the changes in Divine Spirits..."

More and more formulas deepened Wang Qi's understanding of everything.

While his thoughts expanded, another thread of him used some insights, beginning a new round of structures for the Five Virtues Ancient Method.

Innate Five Virtues, as a cultivation path based on the rise and fall of Human Dao and history as its law. In Wang Qi's mind, countless ancient and historical books and the interpretations of Innate Five Virtues concerning the Human Dao were merging together at this moment along with the insights of the New Divine Tao.

Countless invisible threads surged out from Wang Qi's acupoints, forming a number axis, reconstructing a spatial-temporal realm. The circulation rules of nature's spiritual energy underwent some changes.

Then, he reached out his hand. In an instant, the space-time metric tilted, and the Infinite Sea of Vacuum underwent a fluctuation. In the universe, it was but a minor ripple. Yet, for individual cultivators, it was a terrifying wave!

Du Zhong, sitting in the house, nearly fell off his chair. His combat power surged as he stared in horror at the terrifying spiritual power fluctuations outside.

"This is that young lad... Mr. Wang... But even a Golden Core Cultivator couldn't possibly unleash such immense spiritual power!"

As Wang Qi clenched his fist, countless talismans flashed into existence and disappeared, sweeping vast amounts of Spiritual Power through everything. His fingers, smeared with five different colors of light, were clearly the colors of the Innate Five Virtues. With a closing of his fingers, Wang Qi had clamped something in his hand!

Wang Qi had "caught" that Qi Vein!

The Innate Five Virtues were five methods to establish order. Wang Qi endowed this Qi Vein with a new circulation method. This newly endowed Spirit Sense, based on Holy Light and also a Negative Entropy Force, faced no resistance from the Holy Light God's Qi Vein.

With a swipe over the storage bag, he retrieved his share of Tianyi Spirit Jade. Then, on Wang Qi's palm, Phase Waves crisscrossed, and invisible Material Waves made the already thin Spirit Jade even thinner.

Enveloping his domain with talismans, Wang Qi secured it and then extended another article of his domain towards that Qi Vein. Lightly exerting force with his hand, the Heavenly Entropy Technique combined with Heavenly Song expedited the internal molecular motion of the jade, simultaneously altering its chemical bonds to make it temporarily easier to refine.

Subsequently, numerous Magic Seals and Spirit Prohibitions surged into the jade, forcefully connecting it with the Qi Vein.

"From now on, this piece of jade will serve as my symbol, becoming part of the Silver Dawn System!"

...

"Yin Yang Calendar August 19.

Twenty-one days since the birth of the Holy Light God.

The newly joined two people, without being brainwashed by 'White Snake,' have also converted into Light Believers of Holy Light. As expected, with the addition of two new people, the complexity and orderliness of the Divine Tao Sect's system has risen again. The Holy Light God's speed of absorbing spiritual energy has also greatly increased, its strength has firmly stepped into the Qi Cultivation Early Stage.

Now the cross possesses a soul-capturing power. Anyone pressing their forehead against it will sense a vast expanse of pure stars. Could this be my application of Kant's words, 'Two things fill the mind with ever-new and increasing admiration and awe, the oftener and more steadily we reflect on them: the starry skies above me and the moral law within me'? Is the non-personalized god's image really derived from the dictates of the doctrine?

At the same time, the seven experimental souls placed around the cross have begun to dazzle. The brightness of these seven souls even approaches that of the sunlight. However, I can also feel that they are no longer mere souls. It seems the Holy Light has transformed them into something else. They have entered the Divine Tao system, becoming part of the Divine Tao.

But strangely, the animal souls that have undergone the Holy Light God's transformation, still lying in Chen Feng's Laboratory, show no signs of change.

Why? Is it because they have not entered the believers' sight? Or because the Holy Light God is a newly risen divine spirit with limited influence, and its divine domain can only cover a courtyard?

Another matter, the experimental subject Du Gui has begun studying the Holy Light Teachings. Soon he will convert into the most basic General Believer. Then, will he establish any connection with the god inside the cross?

After Du Gui's experimental results come out, Du Zhong should be arranged to meet with the people of Silver Dawn. Du Zhong still despises me; he is unlikely to accept the doctrines I compiled. If a believer who adheres to the doctrines but has not made contact with other believers is not integrated into the Divine Tao system, while an unbeliever who prays with believers can enter the Divine Tao system, then perhaps we need to rethink the definition of the Divine Tao.

Furthermore, I feel that the Circle of Reason is also about to be born. In my setting, it involves an existence of infinite timelines and causes. Yet in reality, the physical laws of this world do not support it so tremendously, and the power of a mere five believers cannot support it so tremendously either.

What exactly will be born? I am eagerly anticipating."

Just as Wang Qi was gradually recording the development of Divine Tao, good news came from Chen Feng—the Intrinsic Form of the Holy Light God had emerged. (To be continued.
