Exploring Immortality Cultivation

In the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, something was flowing.

It was a stream of peculiar Spirit Sense. The encoding system was markedly different from regular data. Just like the Bloodline Root with only four base pairs, yet capable of arranging endless combinations.

The difference between this segment of Spirit Sense and the regular data of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm was akin to the difference between an upright ape and a gibbon.

To the Human Clan and common calculators, this segment of Spirit Sense was no different from gibberish. It was an indescribable stream of information.

It had only recently appeared.

This was the mode of communication of the Sea God type.

Their communication was never presented in the form of spoken words. The mode of interaction among them was not what the Shenzhou People initially imagined either. While "speaking," their thoughts were synchronized, even unified.

If it were to be presented in the language of the Human Clan, the sentence now would be like this.

—Spring, dawn, help me.

Quickly, Mi received a response.

This was also one of the advantages of the Sea God type. The fundamental consciousness of the Human race was indeed based on "yes" and "no" judgments, but their superficial consciousness was not.

The Sea God type, limited by their innateness, had philosophy that revolved not around "how much" or "how deep," but around "existence or nonexistence." Their thought processes were innately closer to that of a calculator.

—What's wrong?

—Why?

As soon as doubt arose, it received a response.

—Personality.

—We need a stable way of thinking.

—The way the Human race thinks is very important to us. It's a direction for breakthrough.

But at that point, a discordant thought appeared.

—However, conversely, our way of thinking is also very important to them.

Yet, this notion was quickly suppressed, persuaded.

—Therefore, complementarity is needed.

—Acquired a new Divine Skill, Transformation Technique.

—Can try.

—It's feasible.

The communication among the three Sea God types knew no bounds. Such was their unique way of interaction.

Cluster after cluster of information was shared amongst them.

"A formed personality."

That was their theme.

Then, this "torrent" made a decision.

It converged into a "lake," its three "sources" jointly infusing information.

Holding sway over part of the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, Mi directly searched for the desired Path Rank from the database of the Immortal Alliance.

In Tianling Ridge, Spring reconfigured the analysis of Human Clan bloodlines at Innate Peak and the analysis of souls at Yangshen Pavilion into a system more conducive to the accumulation by the Sea God type.

Xi, who had begun practicing the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, took out the thoughts on various laws of the Human race to share.

A plan was taking shape.

—Transformation?

—This is Transformation.

Then, Mi knew.

Human blood phase/bloodline true appearance, understood.

Differentiation simulation, initiating.

At the base of the Mountain Gate of the Wanfa Sect, a gigantic underground reservoir.

This underground reservoir was temporarily organized by the Cultivators of the Wanfa Sect using Great Divine Power and expanded by Taiyu Skill, almost becoming a quasi-independent Grotto Heaven. When Mi came here, she had left behind most of her body to barely "squeeze" into this "tiny" space. The reservoir's dome housed the Sun True Fire to provide light and heat for Mi's plant components.

In the windless Small Cave Heaven, the emerald-colored sea water gently churned. That was a sign of the Sea God type's thinking. Several disciples from the Wanfa Sect were on duty here. Their tasks included communicating with Mi, testing the interface capabilities between Mi and a calculator, and so on.

Golden Core Cultivator Yao Zhenyi was among the very few given permission to participate in this grand project. At that moment, his Primordial Spirit Stage master had received a faint spirit sense and urgently went into seclusion. Now, he was the only one tinkering with the calculator.

Just then, he saw an image he would never forget in his life.

In the bodies of water that were the color of emeralds, a streak of red suddenly appeared.

Yes, it was a color like fresh blood, as if a fine emerald had been accentuated with a hint of red.

The red gradually expanded, from the initial streak to a continuous sheet. Later, the emerald water suddenly stirred violently, forming a vortex the size of a person.

Gradually, a clump of white tissue appeared.

The Dragon Clan's Transformation Divine Power, which rewrote bloodline expressions, changed not only a creature macroscopically but also microscopically. It would completely alter cellular structures.

Meaning, it could also work on individual cells.

If single-celled organisms had sufficient Spirit Wisdom, they could indeed learn Transformation and then break through innate limitations.

Changes were occurring inside Mi's body.

The original algae and other microorganisms were being transformed into human cell replicas—this was Transformation for demons.

However, Mi was somewhat different. Initially, she transformed into clumps of discrete human cells. These cells were also part of her, thus, she could command these cells to move autonomously.

Countless Human Clan cells, under Mi's control, automatically assembled like building blocks.

Splicing... failed... reorganizing...

failed... reorganizing...

The formidable computing power of the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror and the innate understanding ability of the Sea God Type supported her. Senior Sister Mi mastered this new law at an unimaginable speed.

A transformation that the Demon Clan generally takes years to learn, she mastered in a moment.

Countless times of splicing, reorganizing, numerous iterations.

Analyzing the reasons...

Lipid matrix... lacking...

Differentiating new functional cells...

Yue Luo Liu Li had said that the real meaning of transformation is "unrestricted." It's not just existing species; one can design new species if they wish.

The Dragon Clan had long broken free from the shackles of bloodlines.

New cells were differentiated, they absorbed nutrients, and then transformed into lipid particles, releasing them into the water.

Then, within this milky substance, some organ was born.

Yao Zhenyi covered his mouth, almost spitting into the body of Senior Mi.

It was a brain.

A human brain!

He quickly stepped back, wanting to call someone to witness this spectacle. But as he turned around, he saw a little girl standing right behind him. He recognized the appearance; it was indeed Senior Mi's spiritual body!

Senior Mi smiled gently, her finger on her lips, making a shushing gesture.

Yao Zhenyi nodded blankly, not understanding what "Senior Mi" was doing. Then, an epiphany struck him.

Could it be transformation?

Had Senior Mi learned the Transformation Technique?

Senior Mi had no intention to converse with that disciple from the Wanfa Sect. She now wanted to verify an idea of hers. She dissolved the spiritual body and then focused all her attention on the brain.

It wasn't difficult.

Senior Mi projected her consciousness into that brain, then tried to think using that brain instead of her original self.

Consciousness, upload... simulator, programming...

Ready for use...

Cultivation... loading...

Honestly, for Senior Mi, simulating the Cultivation of the human tribe was much easier than creating a human brain.

When Senior Mi appeared in the West Sea again, Wang Qi was transferring his Life Flame to Yue Luo Liu Li. Though it was only a drop in the bucket for Yue Luo Liu Li's formidable body, it was better than doing nothing.

Seeing Senior Mi, Wang Qi's eyes lit up, "Senior Sister, is the thing you mentioned about enhancing my cultivation in a short period ready?"

"Preparations are complete," said Senior Mi, "You can start whenever you're ready."

"I'd better ask first, does your method have any side effects?"

"I had it assessed by the Yangshen Pavilion, and it's preliminarily deemed to have no negative effects, at least definitely no irreversible negative effects."

Wang Qi nodded, "As long as there are no negative effects, it's worth a try."

Senior Mi walked up to Wang Qi and then placed her hand on Wang Qi's head, "Are you ready?"

Wang Qi nodded, "I can start at any time."

Just then, Wang Qi's ring and shoulder armor, both being calculators, suddenly emitted intense white light. Jarvis immediately popped up a warning: "Unidentified data flows detected, allow connection?"

"Yes."

Wang Qi nodded. Suddenly, he had a bizarre notion. He absentmindedly looked up at Yue Luo Liu Li. Her face began to become unfamiliar. Up, down, left, right, front, back, all lost their meaning. He seemed to become as naive as a baby. Then, the scenery around him completely transformed into green nihility.

Wang Qi seemed to cross a boundary line—the boundary between the Human Clan and the Sea God Type, between natural beings and artificial intelligence. He was encoded.

His body was far removed from perception. Thoughts became incoherent, ideas gathered and dispersed without reason, elusive. His thoughts were like a thread, guided by Senior Mi's fingers, threading through a needle's eye.

The thoughts of the Human Clan, originally derived from solid flesh as "solid data flow." Now, Senior Mi had melted him, turning him into something akin to the "liquid thought" of the Sea God Type.

No patterns, no fully formed personality, nothing.

Just the tide-like flow of thoughts, chaotic ideas.

—What is this...

—It's the tide of thought.

—You are the stream of thought. Whether to gather or disperse, open or close, the hub is in your hands.

Then suddenly, Wang Qi felt as if he were melted metal, guided into a supervised mold, gradually solidifying.

He was himself again.

This place was the sea, an emerald sea. With his eyesight, he couldn't see the limit of this ocean. A crimson sun occupied half of the sky. Yet its light was still insufficient to overshadow the stars in the background. A crystalline rainbow, like half a diamond, spanned the sky.

"Red giant star... planetary ring..." Wang Qi found himself sitting on a meditation cushion, which was floating above the dreamy emerald sea surface.

Senior Sister Mi really was an alien.

"Welcome to my homeland, junior brother," the human form of Senior Mi appeared in front of Wang Qi, "In another sense, welcome to the land of thought."

"Senior Sister, this scenery is quite something," Wang Qi looked around, "Is this..."

"I'm not quite like the human females, so complimenting me won't do any good," Senior Mi said, "This is what I have created for you, your own Xinling time-space."

"Six thousand times the speed of time passage, enough for you to do anything."

"Including, achieving the Golden Core." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com and support it with monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
