Exploring Immortality Cultivation

In the depths of the West Sea, a group of Transformation Stage orcas revealed their original forms as they flowed along the ocean currents toward the Holy Dragon Abyss. A Transformation Body is either suited for battle or for cultivation. However, for those who were not yet masters of transformation techniques, their Transformation Bodies were far less natural and harmonious than their original forms. For long journeys, it naturally made more sense to use their original forms.

Among them, a yellow squid demon was also mixed in. The main part of this demon's body had already transformed into a human shape, and it looked quite decent, but from the waist down, it still had a mass of tentacles, moving in the same way as a squid, propelled by jetting water.

This demon beast had been shouting and yelling all the way, which was incredibly annoying. What was even more unbearable was that it occasionally burst out with its demon power to frighten others. Moreover, strangely enough, whenever it released its power, it scared the orcas almost to the point of fleeing in all directions. The hearts of these orcas, refined through the Whale Song Technique, could barely withstand it.

Yet these orcas dared not express their anger. This lord had just eaten a group of sharks with strength not inferior to theirs without even spitting out the bones—a clear eater. They certainly did not want to become this demon creature's next meal.

Soon, Wang Qi noticed that the strong aura around him had increased. The Transformation Sea Demons, rarely seen near the continental shelf, were everywhere here. And there were some sporadic buildings. These buildings were either directly moved from the Human Clan cities and then re-forged with rare materials, or they were crudely made.

Clearly, this area was the heartland of the Demon Clan.

The orcas led the Yellow Robed King onto a giant clamshell. This clamshell was more than twenty zhang long and wide, with a thickness also nearly one zhang. The whale demons bowed to the Yellow Robed King and said, "Please wait here, Your Majesty. We will go and inform the other kings..."

The Yellow Robed King laughed heartily and waved his hand, signaling the whale demons to go about their business. The orcas scattered as if they had been granted amnesty. They could not stand this madman who loved to use his demon power to intimidate other demons.

Inside the core of the pagoda within the Yellow Robed King, Wang Qi was manipulating the Wanxiang Diagram, rapidly rewriting codes. The Wanxiang Diagram inherently carried the meaning of spells, and those familiar with it could use it to cast spells directly, its efficiency rivaling any spell, Magic Seal, or Wen Dao logic rooted in mathematics that naturally aligned with all the laws of the Wanfa Sect.

Wang Qi was currently modifying the Divine Spirit Road Rank that simulated and released demon power. He could disguise himself as part of the Demon Clan using the updated Demon Emperor's aura, but this place belonged to the Dragon Clan. As a race that had survived three civilization extinctions, the Dragon Clan's heritage was far beyond comparison to that of the Demon or Human Clans, and it was possible that some dragon recognized the aura of the Demon Emperor. He was trying to find a way to slightly alter the petal's demon power and use the strong demon power as a routine ability for better concealment.

Mira was quietly watching Wang Qi from beside him. Feng Luoyi, busy with countless tasks, had long since left. Mira, still in her learning phase and not officially Feng Luoyi's assistant, was currently tasked with free learning. Her racial talent was somewhat perverse. The thought organ for her Sea God Type was the "cluster-Divine Tao System" itself. This human form was similar to the "Xia Gai Demon Worm" or "Yellow Robed King" as a "Divine-Human Interface"; it wasn't her real body. Even if this human form stayed here, her consciousness still flowed freely in the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, absorbing the latest knowledge.

However, Mira's current interest in Wang Qi was more significant. She asked him, "Why do you want to go deeper into this place?"

Wang Qi glanced at this junior sister. Although Feng Luoyi had said that her race limited her to the Personality Formation Stage, forever a child in heart. However, this "child" was exceptionally quiet. Wang Qi explained, "You know my goal, don't you, senior sister?"

"Saving a female from the Dragon Clan."

"That mother dragon is very good at hiding, and now the precision of the Artificial Heavenly Bodies is insufficient. We are monitoring every battle in the sea, but we can't determine her whereabouts." Wang Qi sighed. "At sea, our intelligence is insufficient; therefore, we must use the enemy's. Since the West Sea Dragon King wants to eliminate that mother dragon, following the West Sea Dragon King is the simplest method."

Mira asked, "Is this what the Human Clan refers to as 'stratagem'?"

Wang Qi shook his head. "How can this be considered a stratagem?"

Mira frowned and then asked, "In that case, is the West Sea Dragon King allowing his subordinates to fight among themselves to confuse us?"

"The synchronous orbit of the Artificial Heavenly Bodies is eighty thousand li from the ground. Even Kunpeng needs to achieve the Immortal Level to reach there instantly, and who can extend their Spiritual Sense that far? Moreover, this planet has the layer of the Nine Heavens Gang Wind."

Wang Qi said this as if he were already considering Mira an alien.

The Nine Heavens Gang Wind layer is above the ozone layer in the Spirit Power Field. The ozone layer eliminates ultraviolet rays and blocks a portion of the Pure Yang Spirit Qi. The interaction of Pure Yang Spirit Qi with Earth Magnetic Qi, Power of All Living Beings [Biological Sphere Spirit Power Field], and pure Outer Heaven Spiritual Energy creates a harmonious interaction, producing a unique layer of intensely dense and violent Gang Wind. Those with low Cultivation cannot approach this layer.

Continuing, Wang Qi sighed slightly. The Nine Heavens Gang Wind layer also affected the precision of the Immortal Alliance satellites. Optical satellites were still manageable, but the precision of satellites extending Spiritual Sense was greatly affected. This was also why he had to infiltrate the Demon Army.

Hearing Wang Qi's words, Mira furrowed her brows, her small face filled with a perplexing expression.

...Wow, this understandable expression, could it be...

"Senior sister, you couldn't possibly manage to extend your Spiritual Sense eighty thousand li, could you...?"

His Spiritual Sense could almost encircle the Shenzhou Heaven and Earth, which meant he could sense anything happening anywhere in Shenzhou.

"Confidentiality—you're trying to pry more information from me again!"

Wang Qi sighed slightly and began to ponder.

"Could Senior Sister be a Banished Immortal who is willing to cooperate with the Immortal Alliance?"

"Is she stronger than the West Sea Dragon King? Weaker than him? Can the West Sea Dragon King also expand his Spiritual Sense to eighty thousand li away? And can he ignore the Nine Heavens Gang Wind layer?"

"If the West Sea Dragon King can do so, then the abilities of the high-order Dragon Clan are far beyond my imagination. The two dragons I encountered before, one had its mastery of the Fog Demon Path destroyed and the other had lost even its basic instincts, so they couldn't serve as a standard for estimation."

"Moreover, if the West Sea Dragon King needs to conceal the traces of battle, it means they have already found or at least spotted that female dragon in the past few days. I can't be too slow on my end either."

Wang Qi slightly altered his plan. He wasn't sure if the Dragon Clan could see through the Heart Demon Curse and the Yellow Robed King. Although the Heart Demon Curse completely overpowered spiritual power, toxicity could not be discussed without considering the dose. If their Spiritual Sense is as strong, overcoming the Heart Demon Curse might not be too hard. However, saving lives is as urgent as putting out a fire; leaving the Demon Army might actually mean losing the chance to find that dragon. Right now, the best strategy was to keep a low profile and not aim to directly ascend the ranks to a mid-level officer, just knowing the basic movements of the great army was enough.

This was what Wang Qi was thinking, yet his actions didn't slow down.

He possessed multitasking capabilities; repetitive reflection could bring more inspiration, while practice was the best way to test those inspirations. With continuous practice, his familiarity with the Wanxiang Diagram deepened and the Wanxiang Diagram itself matured.

Wanxiang Diagram was the foundation of Cultivation. Rooted in mathematical logic, it could interact with all known fields of mathematics, representing all physical phenomena through mathematical models. The Wanxiang Diagram gave him the ability to change a thousand folds. For every improvement in the Wanxiang Diagram, Wang Qi grew stronger.

Now, every time Wang Qi's Mana circulated through the Circulation, countless Operators and commands were born and perished. His Cultivation Technique was constantly self-iterating, optimizing itself. Wang Qi's new insights into the Wanxiang Diagram were also reflected in his Cultivation; his Mana circulation was like a robust furnace, tempering the strongest steel, which in turn was used to enhance the furnace.

Even if he couldn't advance in level for the time being, Wang Qi was gradually becoming stronger.

After waiting here for about an hour, a Transformation Demon Clan member approached. The original form of the newcomer was unknown, but the transformed female was quite fetching with her beautiful features, it was just that her orange skin seemed particularly strange, and her silver eyes lacked pupils. This "Demon Face" woman, seeing the Yellow Robed King, sized him up and down, and a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes upon seeing his standard humanoid upper body. She asked, "Are you the newly-joined Octopus Demon?"

"I don't even know what my original form is called, 'Heavenly Favored' might be it."

Heavenly Favored, in the sense of a benign mutant Demon Beast.

The woman nodded, "Very well. Recently, more than a hundred Transformation stage Demon Clan members have joined us, and soon I'll take you all for testing and assign official roles based on capabilities."

"Soon? When exactly?"

"At noon tomorrow. But..." the female Great Demon paused, then shouted in a low voice, "it depends on whether you can survive until then!"

Suddenly, the silver eyes of the Sea Demon turned a deep blue, as profound as the abyss. A formidable force of spiritual power immediately enveloped the Yellow Robed King. At the same time, her fist, transformed from one of her hands, struck fast and hard towards the center of the Yellow Robed King's body. Her strength wasn't great, but the black heavy armor she donned spoke volumes. This woman was originally a Mirage Demon who excelled in Illusion Techniques and had trained her shell into armor, practising invincibility. This punch, capable of breaking focus and preventing one from gathering spiritual power against illusions, would be difficult for many to withstand.

However, Wang Qi merely shook his head lightly at this assault.

Mirage Demon's Illusion Techniques were indeed extraordinary, but ultimately, illusions targeted beings with self-awareness. Even without mentioning the miraculous effects of the Heart Demon Curse, the Yellow Robed King, being an interface, couldn't possibly be affected.

Several blue tentacles wrapped around the self-assumed victorious demon, pulling her into the Pagoda and then thoroughly infecting her with the Wuping Altogether Curse to extort a confession. Soon, Wang Qi obtained unexpected information, "All newly joined demons are not protected by the Holy King? They can be freely hunted?"

"Before the test?"

"So, before tomorrow, I can still erode many Transformation stage Demon Beasts?"
