Wang Qi check the book’s spine, Calculator Mind Theory.
Wang Qi started. “Senior, what…”
The old man laughed. “Sorry for eavesdropping on your conversation. Please don’t be angry, it wasn’t on purpose. Youngster, you have an interesting grasp on your resolve. It’s been so long since the last time I met someone like you. Those words you said, ‘I seek Dao, not become an avenger,’ filled me with joy, truly. You have a true grasp of what modern cultivation seeks…”
Wang Qi felt the need to interrupt. “Senior, this isn’t something you can give me. Even if I have the borrowing rights…” For origınal chapters go to 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✦𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚✦𝕟𝕖𝕥
The old man said, “But I do give it to you, and you’re free to look. Train hard so you don’t forget today’s resolve.”
The old man broke down, vanishing in a shower of lights.
Wu Shiqin gasped. “What kind of escape art is that?”
Zhen Chanzi said, “It’s not. This is an embodiment. The owner withdrew his intent and the embodiment collapsed.”
Wu Shiqin had a far-away look at Wang Qi’s book, muttering. “‘I do give it to you and are free to look.’ Immortal Alliance has a rule. If a writer or the creator of a magical art is willing to share his discoveries, it doesn’t fall under the exchange rule. The Senior… Calculator Mind Theory…”
Wu Shiqin stared hard at Wang Qi’s Calculator Mind Theory, burning with admiration, but Wang Qi didn’t look all too pleased by it. He jumped to his feet, lamenting. “I’m such an idiot…”
Wu Shiqin asked, “What?”
“I-I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity to gain from the goodwill of a Senior and what do I do? I let it slip right through my fingers. What Calculator Mind Theory, when I could have had not just it, but Energy Calculator Seal, Celestial Chess Computation, Serial Geometry, and many more!”
The corner of Wu Shiqin’s mouth twitched and took a deep, calming breath.
All-immortal Realm, meeting room.
There were few people in this emulated meeting room. Supreme Lord Einstein took the seat of honor. People’s Champion Neumann stood across from him, while all the rest sat around the table.
Supreme Lord was curious about Neumann’s smile. “Did something good happen, John?”
John was Neumann’s courtesy name. People’s Champion and Supreme Lord became close friends even before they achieved their path.
Neumann shook his head. “It’s nothing, just meeting an intriguing junior in Argent Mountain.”
He suddenly looked around and focused on two Unfettered sitting opposite of each other. “Golgi, Cajal, could you two spare some time?”
Spirit Network Golgi and Soul’s Origin Cajal, were the founders of Radiant Divinity Pavilion. Despite having been fellow disciples under the same master, from the perspective of Dao understanding, they couldn’t be more apart, leading to the two becoming estranged. ꞦÅ
Reality proved Spirit Network’s Nascent Connection was inferior to Soul’s Origin’s Remote Synaptic Soul Seeker.
Cajal, just like Lord White Marsh Laplace, was born at the edge of the wilderness, yet excelled his peers.
Golgi gave Neumann an empty stare. “Master Neumann, he and I are one.”
Neumann chuckled. “More than one. The disciple I just mentioned has a questionable background which Immortal Institute finds it suspicious. I would like to ask you, or anyone under you that understands ‘that,’ to check out.”
Einstein said, “The one Hilbert vaguely mentioned… with the abnormal talent?”
Neumann smiled. “Don’t you, I, and Little Hai, all fall in the same category? I’ve met him today and found his exceptional resolve. Moreover, he has just fought with the devil breaking Argent Mountain’s seal. We can take his unchanged mind and lack of abnormalities as proof that he isn’t like that devil. As long as Radiant Divinity Pavilion can rule out the most dangerous possibilities, modern cultivation will gain another genius.”
The devil that appeared on Argent Mountain could hibernate inside a human. The devil’s nature was chaos at its core, inciting changes in its host. Most of them were benign, but, in the rarest of cases, an abnormal talent. There was one other aspect, entropy amplification devils couldn’t meet another devil, for it would trigger the hibernating entropy amplification devil into becoming erratic.
Having heard the whole story, Soul’s Origin said, “With the understanding of modern cultivation’s essence and Grand Ripple Enigma, Eminence is the least he could achieve, if not Unfettered. The child deserves our personal intervention.”
Spirit Network pondered. “The Heavenly Metal Soul Infusion experiment has just been successful and requires extensive testing. I can’t spare any time this year.”
Soul’s Origin added, “I will need a couple of months.”
Neumann nodded. “No rush. It’s not exactly an immediate concern, as long as it’s done before July next year.”
Einstein saw their discussion over and said, “John is right. Guiding disciples is important to the Immortal Alliance, but not urgent. John, how are things being handled on Argent Mountain?”
Neumann shook his head. “The devil doesn’t have a pattern and I can give no guarantee. However, Argent Apex should be free of any remnants. With the All-immortal Mirror, I was able to reconstruct the entry record of the Mistshroud Mountain Array. Starting with Argent Mountain’s earthquake, all cultivators have been investigated. As for underground, Boltzmann had lost all hope in Dao, ignoring the outside world, but he’s doing everything to suppress the seal. The event could only have been an exception, an accident. I’ve sent the new sub-item of the All-immortal Mirror under Argent Mountain, effectively including me in the suppression and should leave nothing to chance.”
