Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 285 - 39 - s Thin ice
Listening to Bai Ze God Monarch, Su Junyu's interest was piqued. "Junior Brother, you're impressive, exterminating such a demon—what does it feel like to be possessed by this thing? How did you exterminate it?"
Wang Qi looked at Bai Ze God Monarch. According to Deng Jiaxuan's attitude, this should be confidential information within the Immortal Alliance, but Bai Ze God Monarch had allowed Su Junyu to accompany him, which tacitly approved this discussion. Wang Qi wasn't sure how much he should say. After receiving a nod from Bai Ze God Monarch, Wang Qi spoke, "The essence of this Evil Demon is Entropy Increase, and it is a highly entropic existence..."
Next, he detailed the sensations and symptoms after being possessed and explained how he reconstructed his logical thinking and counterattacked relying on his cultivation technique. Not only did Su Junyu and Ai Qinglan listen in astonishment, but even Apuna couldn't help but exclaim, "You have a real talent for logical mathematical reasoning, young man!"
Finally, when Wang Qi spoke about sealing the deal with his new divine skill, he couldn't help but ask Ai Qinglan, "Senior Sister Ai, this divine skill of mine feels somewhat similar to yours; could you help me have a look?"
After Ai Qinglan nodded, Wang Qi extended his right hand, where the Heavenly Entropy Technique and Heavenly Calculation Atlas interwove and collided, forming a dim white flame in his palm.
"Life Flame!" Su Junyu was the first to exclaim. But he soon figured it out, "Although this thing is the Fire of Negative Entropy, it is far from the level of Life Flame."
Wang Qi said, "These are two combined techniques of mana that I comprehended, but my true divine skill is this." Saying so, a burst of Holy Light emerged from within the dim white flame.
Sensing the familiar aura, Ai Qinglan's eyes widened, "This aura really resembles Life Flame. Good heavens... Is this a Lower Divine Power of Life Flame?"
Scratching his head, Wang Qi appeared puzzled, "It's a divine skill that I evolved by chance, and I still don't know how to use it. Please give me some guidance, Senior Sister."
It was now Ai Qinglan's turn to look bemused as she muttered, "I also only came into contact with Life Flame during the Qi Cultivation Late Stage..."
Muttering aside, Ai Qinglan still explained the main uses of Life Flame and its Lower Divine Power to Wang Qi.
The most important of these was prolonging life. A cultivator's life span is entirely maintained by the negative entropy brought by their cultivation; if their cultivation goes haywire or suddenly becomes wasted, the entire physiological system would fall into a sudden state of entropy increase, accelerating aging; and if one receives a fatal injury, it can be seen as the body system ceasing to function. If one possesses Life Flame, it ensures that the holder's physical body and soul always maintain negative entropy—in other words, it clings onto a thread of life. For example, even if Ai Qinglan's head is pierced through by a sword and her divine soul crippled, she wouldn't die; at most, she'd lose some memories. Unless her body and soul are both completely shattered, she can maintain her undead status.

Following this, it was also useful for healing injuries and restoring mana, as well as assisting in cultivation. Negative Entropy is the process of absorbing "order" from the surroundings and strengthening oneself. After comprehending Life Flame, Ai Qinglan was practically unfazed by injuries, and her mana was as bountiful as if she was constantly burning her life span; without actively cultivating, her cultivation would still slowly increase...
As Ai Qinglan explained, Wang Qi gradually realized just how heaven-defying this skill was—damn, this was like his own cheat script having infinite health, mana regeneration, and experience gain...
"How about this Holy Light of mine?" Wang Qi eagerly asked. If Ai Qinglan's was the complete version of a cheat, then wasn't his Holy Light at least a trial or free version?
"Holy Light? That sounds like Divine Tao divine skill, aren't you afraid of being shunned?" Su Junyu said with a mix of laughter and tears. Divine Tao was a serious taboo in Modern Times.
Ai Qinglan stared at Wang Qi's Holy Light for a long time before finally saying, "I haven't seen this divine skill before, but just looking at the Qi Intent, it indeed is a Lower Divine Power of Life Flame. Based on your description, it also has healing and mana restoration functions, and it should also be effective against that Evil Demon... The spirit energy environment here is complex, may I go outside to study it further?"
Bai Ze God Monarch coughed, then took out a small jade blade from his bosom and handed it to Ai Qinglan, "Girl, are you not planning to take back your Life Flame into your body anymore? How about imbuing it onto this jade blade?"
Ai Qinglan nodded in agreement. Wang Qi asked Su Junyu, "Why would she abandon such a good thing?"
Su Junyu spoke softly, "In the perfect cultivation schedule, you're aware of the six-year Foundation Establishment. Constructing and sculpting a Magic Foundation both require meticulous effort. If the mana grows too quickly, it actually harms the perfection of the foundation. After your Senior Sister Ai developed the Life Flame, she has mostly been busy with research and then she also needs to regularly burn off some of her mana. The flame she had next to her had snatched all the vitality from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, she dare not refine it."
During their conversation, Ai Qinglan had already injected all the surrounding Life Flame into the blade. Bai Ze God Monarch took the jade blade enveloped in the dim White Flame, and without any visible action, the flame was completely retracted.
Bai Ze God Monarch shook his head, "My path doesn't align with the Life Flame, I can't elevate its power to the highest level."
Su Junyu exclaimed in surprise, "Do you need to be so cautious?"
"Junyu, remember, against such a monster, no amount of caution is too much," Bai Ze God Monarch said somewhat sternly, "Don't think that because a Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator killed such an evil demon, that this thing is weak. Both little Wang and Miss Ai have special mental methods that barely protect them. Without the ability of Entropy Reduction, even a Primordial Spirit Cultivator might die and vanish."
Speaking thus, the old man threw the jade blade. After the blade stuck into the statue, the Life Flame began to spread. But soon, the white flames violently trembled, as if battling an invisible wind, and nearly extinguished. During this process, Wang Qi didn't even feel any fluctuations of Spiritual Energy.
By then, Bai Ze God Monarch let out a sigh of relief. He extended his hand towards the statue from a distance, the space around it began to contract, the statue shrunk increasingly smaller and automatically flew into the hands of the Divine Monarch, who then placed several hundred restrictions on the statue. This Carefree Great Cultivator looked around, "This, through the collection of the survivors' blood, shows the Entropy Increase caused by the decomposition of the bodies... Destruction here will let your fellow villagers rest. Is that acceptable?"
Wang Qi nodded, "I will handle it personally."
After the four of them left, Wang Qi personally destroyed the basement with the Hand Palm Thunder. From then on, Dabai Village no longer had any traces of anomalies.
Ai Qinglan then began to determine new Divine Skills for Wang Qi. She took out a peculiar Magic Artifact, resembling a scientific instrument, first determining the Spirit Energy Environment of Dabai Village, then asked Wang Qi to manifest Holy Light towards the instrument. Next, Ai Qinglan asked Bai Ze God Monarch to temporarily disperse the surrounding Spiritual Energy, creating a Primordial Spirit Qi Environment, where Wang Qi performed the Holy Light again.
After reading the data, Ai Qinglan said, "I need to go back and study this Divine Skill before I can give you an answer. Junior brother, you wouldn't mind, right?"
Since it was all free service, Wang Qi couldn't really complain, he naturally wouldn't express dissatisfaction.
Later, Bai Ze God Monarch was to take Ai Qinglan and Su Junyu back to the Wanfa Sect. Bai Ze God Monarch offered to transport Wang Qi to his destination, which Wang Qi declined, as he still had some matters to handle, and his original purpose for returning home was Bai Ji, the elder.
Bai Ze God Monarch smiled, then used Xiangyu Travel to send the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators away. Then, he didn't leave but asked Wang Qi, "Child, you just said that seeking the Dao should be like treading on thin ice, right? Was that a spur of the moment feeling? Can you elaborate?"
