Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Wang Qi felt no regret about this. His initial cultivation of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas aimed to harmonize his cultivation techniques, and his study of the Human Dao not only was to control the Life Flame but also to realize his own idea of "establishing a purpose for the common people" and reforming the Human Dao.

Besides, his interest in the Life Path remained merely a "hobby." After gaining control over the Life Flame and pursuing his own ideals, it didn't matter if he didn't practice the Empirical aspect of the Life Path.

He had indeed established a purpose for the common people and paved the way for eternal peace. As a "mortal," he had done all that he should.

——Moreover, he had used this as a pretext to play the sympathy card with Ai Qinglan and had walked away with the research notes and cultivation insights of this core disciple of Jiyin Valley. It seemed like a win-win situation.

"Ai Senior Sister, Chen Feng, I might be gone for many years and may not be able to get away at any time. If you're getting married, pick a date I can make it to."

Chen Feng waved his hand, "Not so soon. We plan to marry after achieving Golden Core Perfection or completing our Primordial Spirits."

"Planning to wander for another decade before marriage, huh?" Wang Qi flipped him the bird, "Speaking of which, how do you plan to do your Refining Heart?"

Chen Feng looked towards Divine Capital and said, "Probably right here, I guess?"

Red Dust Heart Refining was essentially about "experience," about training. He had endured the lowest point of his life here, witnessed the realization of his dreams, and resolved his own conflicts... For him, the "Refining Heart" had essentially been completed.

"Continuing to work on the Human Daoist Skill here? Makes sense, after all, your Empirical Department is still here, and there's still cleanup needed." Wang Qi nodded and then tossed him a Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle, "Here, take this."

"What's this?" Chen Feng asked doubtfully.

"A 'Human Dao' map for the Golden Core," Wang Qi said with a pleased expression, "The very reason you recruited me in the first place. Unfortunately, at that time, we hadn't developed a complete system for Human Dao and my issues came to light. However, when I gained access to the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, I used its temporary high access to commission the True Mirror to process the data and design a Golden Core—don't thank me, it's very rough. But, you can refine it further. Also, the thoughts behind this Golden Core are very similar to Senior Sister Ai's design of the Divine Spirit, so asking her to help you perfect it is also an option."

"Using public office for private gain, huh..." Chen Feng huffed as he took the Spirit Rhinoceros Bottle, "Well written. The salary I paid wasn't in vain."

"Hey Boss, don't forget I helped you win the Dao Seed Award," Wang Qi quipped playfully and then walked up to Chen Youjia, ruffling her hair, "Sorry, I can't accompany you back home this time."

According to the plan he made with Feng Luoyi, the matter of Wang Qi clearing his name had to be kept secret for now, so he still couldn't enter Wanfa Sect to execute confidential tasks.

Chen Youjia swatted away Wang Qi's hand, "I know."

"Still angry, I see?" Wang Qi reached out to pinch Chen Youjia's face.

"Don't pinch me." Chen Youjia swatted Wang Qi's hand away again. Then she turned her face away and whispered, "Besides, I might not be going to the Western Border with you..."

Wang Qi frowned, "Hmm, it's probably best you don't go with me. I'm not sure how smoothly things will go on this trip..."

Chen Youjia suddenly grabbed Wang Qi's collar and pulled him close. At a distance where their breaths were palpable, Wang Qi clearly saw Chen Youjia's fierce eyes. She looked like an aggressive female cat and fiercely told him, "It seems you're happy about this! When I'm not around, you're not allowed to flirt around!"

The girl bit down on Wang Qi's lips as if declaring sovereignty.

"Ah! Junior Sister Chen really has such a bold side!"

"Sister Lan, believe me, she's going to be incredibly shy in a moment…"

As expected, after Chen Youjia released Wang Qi, she immediately turned her face away from everyone, "Got that?"

"Hehehe…" Wang Qi couldn't help himself, "If you're shy, don't do that!"

"I'm not!"

"Hahahaha…" Amidst the laughter, Wang Qi felt all his affairs in Divine Capital were now settled. He summoned his Escape Light and flew to Dark Sect Master Liu Yi who was already waiting nearby. The Grandmaster spent the nights re-collecting the Heavenly Swords. The swords had expended too much Spiritual Power. To prevent interception on the way back, they hadn't returned to the Sword Box by themselves. However, Wang Qi suspected he might also have been tasked with "finishing off" any surviving Ancient Method Practitioners in Divine Capital with an evident Anti-Immortal Alliance inclination.

Under Feng Luoyi's arrangement, this Grandmaster would take him to the West Sea.

"Everyone! The green hills will not change, the clear waters will flow forever, we shall meet again."
