Applied Immortality

Wang Qi gave up overthinking about the devil. Deng Jiaxuan was crystal clear on this, not to dig any deeper.

He knew at least this much, though. Before establishing his strength, delving into the Immortal Alliance’s secrets was suicide. The limited knowledge about this circumstance affected the scope of his deductions.

Wang Qi decided to shelve it for now and focus on cultivation.

Regardless of his curiosity, he would be forced to wait. Just like Ai Dinglan, until Eminence.

The last thought helped Wang Qi make peace with the idea of not investigating it and planned on cultivating Evolution Chart. Asking Ai Dinglan about the tricks of cultivating Evolution Chart, he went to a quiet room to sit down cross-legged.

As an early Qi Refining cultivator, Wang Qi’s spiritual power had increased a lot. The many spiritual powers flowed through his meridians, with Evolution Chart’s spiritual power being the strongest among them, connecting his crown and Dantian vertically and the center of both palms horizontally.

Yang Jun’s entropy amplification caused Wang Qi’s many spiritual powers to become chaotic. Deviation was inevitable, leading to madness. Any other cultivator would be unable to quell such a strange condition.

That was when the miraculous Evolution Chart came into play. Even if its flow deviated, it could include the deviation in its new cycle. Ai Dinglan’s beanie, uh, Mendel’s pea was extraordinary. As Evolution Chart’s spiritual power cycling showed signs of collapse, the pea stabilized the spiritual power.

All Wang Qi had to do was rope the Evolution Chart spiritual power into a new cycle. Since it was his major cultivation method, its stability brought the other mental arts to order.

Following Ai Dinglan’s advice, Wang Qi didn’t start by absorbing Mendel’s pea. He focused instead on sensing the scattered Evolution Chart’s spiritual power.

The major part of Evolution Chart spiritual power was still cycling horizontally and vertically, but a trace amount broke away from the cycle, scattered throughout Wang Qi’s body. He cleared his mind and closed his eyes. Looking within, he sensed the disordered spiritual power.

It looked like an irregular galaxy. Many stars gathered together, but many more were set apart in every direction.

Wang Qi’s mind sank into the galaxy, working on linking the isolated stars. His resolve was clear, his intention reaching. Wang Qi completed the step without a hitch.

He was in no rush to cycle the scattered spiritual power, turning his attention to two other mental arts.

Divine Hexagram Computation and Book of Geometry.

With Dantian as both the center and the horizontal axis, and the line connected to the top of his head as the vertical axis, he aligned himself with the four cardinal directions and established both vertical and horizontal planes…

Wang Qi’s inner sight saw the core of the ‘galaxy’ a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, aligned with heaven and earth, emerging.

Using the coordinate system as a guide meant the spiritual power’s ‘stars’ were put back in their rightful place. The scattered spiritual power, using this precise coordinate system, began cleansing his acupoints.

The human body’s acupoints were as many as stars in the night sky—too many to count. Ancient cultivators often used the main 360, the same number as the heaven’s circumference, or a complete cycle. However, Heavenly Spirit Range’s Innate Peak cultivators referred to it as ‘counting compulsion.’ In fact, ancient cultivators didn’t believe this number themselves. A truly awesome cultivation method would always include a few ‘hidden major acupoints’ that no one knew about. As for entry acupoints, they were over twenty thousand.

Innate Peak’s obsessive research discovered 477 major acupoints. That meant over eighty thousand entry acupoints.

Acupoints, similar to neural junctions, were key points along the meridians. Under normal circumstances, acupoints were not much different from other parts of a meridian. However, an accupoint’s spiritual power capacity increased with training.

It was inside these acupoints that Divine Hexagram Computation formed a yin-yang diagram, treating them as floating-point operation units and making meridians into a computational loop and the cultivator into a calculator.

After finishing guiding the spiritual power, Wang Qi split a bit of spiritual power and rammed it into the bean.

He thought he heard a boom as Mendel’s bean exploded in energy.

The bean didn’t have much spiritual energy, which was obvious, but each grain was pure, with Wang Qi making light work of turning it into spiritual power.

More importantly, the massive amount of information within flowed into Wang Qi along with the spiritual energy.

The seals within the bean and abstruse images unfolded within Wang Qi’s meridians.

It resulted in a miraculous reaction when Gene Unfettered’s energy came into contact with Evolution Chart’s spiritual power.

Evolution Chart spiritual power boiled. It surged, absorbed, and refined the information. Evolution Chart spiritual power moved faster, incited to stabilize a new cycling path. Degenerating alterations were automatically rejected through Mendel’s experimental analysis. �

Thanks to the advancement of his major cultivation method, Wang Qi’s other arts were spurred on.

The liveliest among them were the Book of Geometry and Divine Hexagram Computation. The two basic arithmetic and geometric arts’ spiritual power was eager to intersect with Evolution Chart’s spiritual power. Due to Wang Qi using the Book of Geometry and Divine Hexagram Computation to move a part of Evolution Chart’s spiritual power, Evolution Chart’s evolution leaned towards Myriad Arts Sect’s arithmetic arts.

As the three spiritual powers touched, Wang Qi entered a mystical trance.

He found himself in a tiny garden, with a pea vine in front of him.

Countless peas floated before his eyes.

They hovered, moved, gathered, and turned into all kinds of arithmetics.

The law of segregation… the law of independent assortment…

[The wonder of inheritance!] [The riddle of bloodlines! It’s the great path of reproduction, of lineage!]

Wang Qi’s heart exploded with boundless elation.

[This is Gene Ancestor Mendel’s insight into Dao! The joy and elation came for the Unfettered’s achievement of this path!]

Mendelian inheritance was the crux to transform Darwin’s Theory of Evolution.

[The path of reproduction, the path of inheritance combined with the original Theory of Evolution led to the evolution path of today! It’s because of Mendel’s realization that Divine Province’s path of life is perfected.]

Wang Qi soon came down from experiencing another’s enlightenment. He felt he was in a spa, with every pore soothed.

As he came to, he made a startling discovery. [I suddenly have extensive knowledge of biology.]

Wang Qi stood and stretched his limbs. “Not bad, not bad at all.”
