Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Breakthrough successful, heart blood comes, emotions overly elevated, failure.

Breakthrough successful, thoughts indulged, heart demon begins to arise, failure.

Success... failure...

Success... failure...

Success... failure...

Success... failure...

Success... failure...

Each failure meant an irreversible distortion to Wang Qi's self.

No wonder. Each time, Wang Qi only took over fifty days to forcefully break through from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core. This is equivalent to his "hardware" jumping from the third generation computer to the fifth generation in a short time, yet the most core "instructions" never changed. Under such circumstances, it's strange if he didn't have issues.

And for those Wanfa Sect cultivators watching Mi underground in Wanfa Sect's grotto heaven, this was equivalent to forming a core every quarter hour!

Such frequent core formations were rare in Shenzhou!

And amidst those countless failures, Wang Qi gradually grasped something.

He was stepping towards a broader "realm" of Modern cultivation.

And Mi, regardless of what happened, would backup memories every time Wang Qi's personality underwent a major change, and then erase Wang Qi's changes without hesitation—even if the change was not malignant but beneficial. Then, she would reconstruct Wang Qi's personality clone based on the physical body in West Sea.

As for Wang Qi's memory copies, they would be filtered by Mi. The "knowledge" would be directly infused into the new "clone", while "memories" and "emotions" would be split, diluted, and compressed into a "compressed package" for the new "clone" to absorb slowly during the new round of extreme impacts.

This was thanks to the innate heterogeneity of the Sea God type. Their memories were not like the complex, intertwined, network-like structure of the Human Clan, but stored in clusters of information, with absolutely no interconnection. Like stacked bricks. It was precisely for this reason that Mi could handle Wang Qi's memories so easily without confusing them with her own.

Within the mind-imagined space with a six-thousand-fold time acceleration, a change was slowly brewing.

Inside the Wanfa Sect, inner sect disciple Jiang Han was practicing compiling Path Rank.

For Wanfa Sect, compiling Path Rank wasn't particularly difficult, but it wasn't particularly easy either. For some cultivators not particularly talented, keeping up with their peers or learning mathematics according to plan was already demanding, leaving little time to learn this.

—After all, the number theory and logic involved in compiling Path Rank are not simple.

However, the emergence of Wanxiang Diagram is changing all that.

The meaning of high-level languages is to standardize instruction patterns, reducing the difficulty of programming. On Earth, mature high-level languages can even allow people without extensive mathematical knowledge to become programmers.

This made it so that nearly all Wanfa disciples could easily acquire the ability to compile Path Rank!

This was a huge advantage. With the development of calculators and the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, these technologies would increasingly permeate all aspects of cultivators' cultivation and combat. Artifact refining, array setup, and even spell casting could utilize Wanxiang Diagram.

The "programmer" "race" will play an increasingly important role in Shenzhou.

Moreover, the level of compiling Path Rank will be completely unrelated to cultivation, depending solely on a person's skill and mindset.

Even mortals can handle the work!

Wang Qi even thought this was an opportunity to completely break the difference between the "first class" and "second class"!

Of course, at this stage, only Wanfa Sect disciples have the conditions to learn Wanxiang Diagram.

And for these low-level Wanfa Sect disciples, Wanxiang Diagram feels like a "mandatory course."

This originated from the batch of Wanfa Sect True Inheritors and inner sect disciples gathered by Su Junyu. Initially, these disciples were coaxed and tricked by Su Junyu into the pit. But soon, they realized the benefits of Wanxiang Diagram, and this new high-level language could even be used as a Magic Seal. For Wanfa Sect disciples, Wanxiang Diagram was noticeably more approachable than traditional Zhuanwen Script.

It was the enthusiasm of these few elite disciples for Wanxiang Diagram that sparked a small wave of interest within Wanfa Sect.

Now, under the efforts of hundreds of core developers and tens of thousands of users, the current Wanxiang Diagram is already on the third modification of the second version. Jiang Han is working hard to familiarize himself with this latest update to quickly master more advanced skills.

Just then, a prompt popped up on his illusion panel: "Wanxiang Diagram has a new update, please proceed to download."

Jiang Han rubbed his eyes: "So soon? It shouldn't be a major change, right?"

After all, the third modification of Wanxiang Diagram's second version was just released this morning, it shouldn't be this fast.

Could it be that today, a senior brother discovered a significant issue, hence an emergency new version was rolled out?

Following the illusion marker [link] beneath the prompt, Jiang Han found the option for downloading the "first patch" of the third modification of Wanxiang Diagram's second version in this small illusion.

"First patch..." Jiang Han pondered for a moment: "It must be important to release a 'first patch' suddenly, right? Alright, let's download it and see."

Jiang Han's calculator was only of the lowest talismanic level, with very limited connection capabilities to the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm—in Earth terms, it was slow internet. After all, not everyone was like Wang Qi with such a high-order calculator. Normally, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator having a talismanic level calculator was pretty good. Outside Wanfa Sect, few other sects would include calculators as standard for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

This download lasted about ten minutes. Just as the progress bar was about to complete, a new prompt suddenly popped up on the interface—"Wanxiang Diagram has a new update, please proceed to download."

"Hey, did a 'bug' arise?"

Earlier, I clearly opened that illusion, this message should only pop up once, right?

"Wasn't it Senior Brother Shen who set up this illusion? I remember that guy is meticulous, rarely having 'bugs'... never seen a mistake all this time." Jiang Han casually closed the message and completed the download of the new Wanxiang Diagram version. He then immersed himself in the Wanxiang Diagram again, experiencing the pleasure of weaving myriad forms with his hands.

But, after just a short moment, the calculator popped up with a third notification—"The Wanxiang Diagram has a new update available, please proceed to download."

Bug?

Jiang Han frowned, discontented, and opened the illusion waypoint, entering the Wanxiang Diagram development group's illusion.

Then, he was stunned.

"Wanxiang Diagram, Second Edition, Third Revision, Third Patch?"

Jiang Han, puzzled, brought up the previous interface and looked at the title. What he just downloaded was indeed "Wanxiang Diagram, Second Edition, Third Revision, First Patch," but the latest progress shown in the illusion was... "Third Patch"?

"Which senior brother is playing a prank on us?"

Jiang Han muttered to himself, downloading the Third Patch.

But before the "Third Patch" was even finished downloading, another update notification popped up—"The Wanxiang Diagram has a new update available, please proceed to download."

Wanxiang Diagram, Second Edition, Third Revision, Fourth Patch!

"I really want to see, what's the difference between this so-called Fourth Patch and the original Third Revision!" Jiang Han said furiously, clicking to download the Fourth Patch again.

But before the Fourth Patch was downloaded, the update notification appeared again!

Third Revision, Fifth Patch... Third Revision, Sixth Patch... Third Revision, Seventh Patch... Third Revision, Seventh Patch, First Track... Eighth Patch... Eighth Patch, First Track... Eighth Patch, Second Track... Ninth Patch... Tenth Patch... Tenth Patch, Third Track... Twelfth Patch... Fourth Revision... Fourth Revision, First Patch... Second Patch... Second Patch, First Track...

The version numbers changed faster and faster. Initially, this version was updated once every quarter of an hour. But later, it would update once every short moment!

Fifth Revision! Sixth Revision! Seventh Revision!

Third Edition! Fourth Edition! Fifth Edition!

The update speed had long surpassed Jiang Han's download speed!

At the same moment, cries of frustration echoed throughout different areas of Wanfa Sect.

"What on earth is going on?"

"Why is the update speed faster than my download speed?"

"This is not in line with the Heavenly Dao!"

In the residential area for elite disciples of Wanfa Sect, a few cultivators were tearing their hair out in front of a large calculator.

"Which senior is playing such a joke on us?"

"This, this, this..."

As elites, they could quickly check those updated versions. They knew that the frantically updating version numbers were not a joke—each update was a substantial improvement of the Wanxiang Diagram.

However, they did not understand.

Even if that senior had extraordinary abilities, completing an overall improvement every ten minutes, but... why wouldn't they wait a few days to release it at once?

Why insist on uploading every ten minutes?

A disciple of Wanfa Sect frowned: "That uploader must leave upload records, right? Who exactly is this illustrious character?"

Another person shook his head: "The origins are concealed..."

"No matter how hidden, you can still infiltrate... oh, I misspoke." That disciple shook his head: "The person capable of updating the Wanxiang Diagram so rapidly must have a high degree of proficiency in the Way of Calculators, we low-level disciples would find it very difficult to infiltrate."

But another female disciple frowned and said: "The other party does not leave no traces, but rather the traces they leave... we have no authority to access..."

The other party has high permissions in the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm? Then it should be a senior from Wanfa Sect or the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion... or from the Heavenly Sword Palace, with a considerable level of secrecy.

"Is there any data left?"

"'Mi'... it should be a 'Vestment robe' alias..."

"Most of the notes have been wiped out... 'Good settlement'? What the hell is this?"

Some disciples of Wanfa Sect felt utterly baffled. However, some here knew of Mi's existence.

Someone hesitantly said: "Seems like it should be that senior?"

"Probably is... maybe she is not familiar with our style yet?"

"Moreover, only she, can run the Wanxiang Diagram within consciousness, then almost instinctively point out the errors in it..."

Their speculation seemed almost spot on.

However, the one truly updating was not Mi, but Wang Qi.

Through countless practices, using the Wanxiang Diagram countless times, Wang Qi had built an inner system for himself, mastering this advanced language to a very high level of proficiency.

By this time, he had already spent a full four years in the Imagined Space! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes on Qidian (qidian.com), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
