Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 554 - 306 The Various Wondrous Uses of the Heart Demon Curse

Wang Qi’s gift to Zhao Qingfeng, the life-size figurine, naturally couldn’t be the true body of the Circle of Reason. How could the Divine Spirit Wang Qi, which he hadn’t fully comprehended to this day, be given away casually? As for the Boluo Divine Flame and such... The God of Holy Light had until now only mastered the ability to heal and save lives. Although under Wang Qi’s guidance, the Silver Dawn and their group of Moral Emperors were becoming increasingly extreme, gradually showing tendencies like "democracy followed by the massacre of entire families" and starting to clamor for the punishment of evil, the God of Holy Light had also begun to reveal its killing power. However, presently, it hadn’t manifested any divine skills that would excite a Golden Core Cultivator.

The counterfeit Circle of Reason was, in fact, an avatar of the Heart Demon Great Curse formed by the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell. And the slightly weaker Boluo Divine Flame was transformed from the spell power of the Thousand Illusion Divine Spell.

Ever since intercepting the third Heart Demon Great Curse—the General Plague Curse—from the Hongyuan God, Wang Qi had made breakthrough progress in his research of the Heart Demon Algorithm. Firstly, the immature Heart Demon Method from the Hongyuan God let him find a way to slightly restrict the Heart Demon Great Curse—namely, how to add redundant code to lower the efficiency of a program, a Law Gate. Moreover, the General Plague Curse, the Thousand Illusion Divine Spell, and the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell actually included additional uses, not solely the "Heart Demon Algorithm" that simply eliminated divergences. Wang Qi estimated that with further research, he could truly deduce the "Supreme Heart Demon Spell" and then use it as a foundation to deduce various harmless and low-powered Heart Demon Magic, no longer fearing the real Heart Demon Great Curse. As for the improved Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body in his possession, it had significantly strengthened control over the Spell Spirit Avatar. Wang Qi didn’t need to worry about losing control of the Heart Demon Great Curse for the time being.

Wang Qi took out several bundles of Boluo Divine Flame, with each Banished Immortal present receiving one. Everyone exchanged glances, unsure what to do.

Wang Qi graciously introduced, "This fire is the genuine Divine Tao Law, capable of melting gold and cutting jade, capable of soaring and transforming, and can also enhance cultivation..."

No matter how much Wang Qi praised the Boluo Divine Flame, no one reached out to take it. Wang Qi thought it was because these people still had their reservations. Unexpectedly, Lu Wan asked with a peculiar expression, "Brother Wang, what do you mean by giving us this thing without providing the Sacrificial Refining Method?"

Only then Wang Qi realized, "Divine Tao Law is different from other Righteous Skills. This object itself is the result of the improved Witchcraft destined for the Witch. It requires no spell to refine; as long as it’s compatible with the body, it has infinite marvelous uses."

Hearing the words "compatible with the body," a trace of alertness flickered across the faces of the banished immortals as they began to inspect the Boluo Divine Flame before them. Wang Qi appeared open and aboveboard, an epitome of integrity.

The Heart Demon Great Curse is part of the divine spirit; if that displeases you, then stay away from the Divine Tao. No matter how they inspected, these were all the most orthodox divine spirit auras. Moreover, the Thousand Illusion Divine Spell embodies truth, kindness, and beauty; it is the manifestation of all beautiful illusions without a trace of evil or danger, or any insidious human intent. Even without refining, just looking at it would evoke the thought "this thing is truly good." As for the Spell Spirit transformed by the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell, Wang Qi had infused some Divine Tao Techniques into it, bringing it closer to the genuine body of the Circle of Reason and presenting a demeanor of "nothing beyond the heart, no reason beyond the heart," thus further concealing its true nature as the Heart Demon Great Curse.

The Immortal Alliance has long forbidden Divine Tao. Apart from Wang Qi, this audacious fellow, only a small group of cultivators in the distant Fusang were using the original tribes of the Demon Clan for experiments, which were only semi-public. These banished immortals hadn’t really seen any Divine Tao Techniques. However, whether the purely good and beautiful ethereal aura of the Thousand Illusion Divine Spell or the unyielding momentum of the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell, they indeed resembled the Divine Tao Laws from legends.

The banished immortals inspected repeatedly but found no issues. Zhao Qingfeng was even more embarrassed. Since Wang Qi designed the Spell Spirit Avatar in the image of a young girl, Zhao Qingfeng really couldn’t ignore his embarrassment and check the "divine spirit" under everyone’s watch. After all the banished immortals had finished checking, Zhao Qingfeng gave a signal to another banished immortal. Wang Qi remembered that Xiao Baishuang was deemed a banished immortal because of his heteromorphic flesh and bones. Xiao Baishuang nodded, reached out with one hand, and five streams of clear Qi flew out, capturing the "Boluo Divine Flame" in front of him. Then, he gripped tightly, absorbing the ball of Boluo Divine Flame into his body.

He had been recognized as a banished immortal due to his heteromorphic flesh, and since then, he felt that his practice of Body Refining Techniques was unmatched. After obtaining a technique called "Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique" from Zhao Qingfeng, an Ancient Strange Skill, he feared no laws. Xiao Baishuang was confident that even if Wang Qi had embedded some vicious mechanisms within this Divine Tao Law, his robust body-refining skills could suppress it until Zhao Qingfeng could save him.

Quickly, Xiao Baishuang discovered that the paper ball Boluo Divine Flame could not condense into any Divine Seal. He hadn’t a week when he felt something amiss. At that moment, the spell power of the Thousand Illusion Divine Spell dispersed, blending with his mana. Suddenly, he felt his control over his mana improved significantly. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth also resonated more with his soul. With just a thought, numerous pale golden flames flickered through the room, the illusory fire brilliance shining. Xiao Baishuang tried a few more times and noticed no problems; there was even a faint sense of enlightenment and clarity in his Dao Heart.

As the Thousand Illusion Divine Spell encroached further, Wang Qi could also start sensing Xiao Baishuang’s internal situation. The cultivation techniques he practiced, his physical condition, and even his thoughts...

As long as Wang Qi didn’t activate the Heart Demon Great Curse, this Spell could be deemed harmless, and it would only make one slightly paranoid. In a sense, the feeling of "paranoia" was very close to that of "Dao Heart-enlightenment."

After refining her Boluo Divine Flame, Xiao Baishuang whispered her feelings to Zhao Qingfeng. Zhao Qingfeng nodded, and only then did the various Banished Immortals stow away their respective Boluo Divine Flames. However, no one was in a rush to refine them. Xiao Baishuang would follow Zhao Qingfeng for a while, always observing to prevent Wang Qi from making covert moves.

Wang Qi was even less hurried. How powerful was the Heart Demon Great Spell? Regardless of whether these Banished Immortals integrated it into their bodies or into their Magic Artifacts, Wang Qi would ultimately be able to infect them all.

However, the only thing he needed to be careful of was whether these Banished Immortals had ways to cleanse the influence of the Heart Demon Great Spell. But that was exactly what Wang Qi hoped for, as the removal of the Heart Demon Great Spell implied that he would have a grasp on the Anti-Heart Demon Spell, moving Shenzhou a step closer to the Immortal Dao industrial revolution.

Having gained such benefits, and knowing that Wang Qi intended to combine the Divine Tao with the Innate Five Virtues and merge them with the Innate Five Taos, leaving no room for reconciliation with the Immortal Alliance, all the Banished Immortals became considerably warmer towards him. After exchanging pleasantries, the Banished Immortals had a brief session of reminiscing about their hardships, deepening their resentment towards the Immortal Alliance. Afterwards, they began the highlight of the day, the exchange of Daoist Skills.

Wang Qi still had no interest in the tips for using mana or the approaches to spells discussed by the Banished Immortals, but he forced himself to listen through this part. As the discussion deepened, the topics of these Ancient Method Practitioners gradually shifted toward so-called "the Forty-Nine Innate Great Daos".

Because Wang Qi had displayed a Divine Tao Law that did not exist in the Modern System, these Banished Immortals were particularly generous to him, revealing such matters in his presence. They would also ask Wang Qi about some principles. However, among these inquiries, Wang Qi skillfully avoided any that pertained to the Innate Five Virtues, responding only with a smile. But when it came to the Innate Five Taos, he was sharp in his replies—after all, within his ring was a true Ancient Method Great Cultivator whose Cultivation Technique specifically targeted the Innate Five Taos. These questions required no mental effort from Wang Qi himself.

In the course of the conversation, Wang Qi discovered that almost all the Banished Immortals were similar, with each one possessing a particularly deep understanding of two or three of the Forty-Nine Great Daos. Therefore, Wang Qi’s behavior held no issues, and in fact stood out even more. Wang Qi took the opportunity to extract a wealth of information from Xiao Baishuang’s memories.

"Innate Tribulation Fate, Innate End of Fortune, Innate Qi Fortune, Innate Saintly Virtue, Innate Morality, Innate Taiji, Innate Tai Chu, Innate Killing, Innate Fate... The Innate Great Daos understood by these seven individuals have many overlaps, centering on these nine," Zhen Chan secretly told Wang Qi.

Wang Qi nodded silently, while also paying attention to the occasional mention of Ancient Laws brought up as examples when these Banished Immortals discussed the Dao.

"The Forty-Nine Daos" is a worldview and methodological concept. The ancients categorized all phenomena within these Forty-Nine Daos, using them to explain everything and reciprocally constructing spells with them. Preconceiving an all-encompassing grand concept could indeed simply explain everything, but it was meaningless. Wang Qi had no interest in the Forty-Nine Daos themselves. He was more focused on those spells, especially those related to Divine Tao and Human Dao.

These Law Gates represented the "phenomena" observed by predecessors in history and the big trend of the world, as well as their "thought processes." Even if their "fundamental theories" were incorrect, the "phenomena" and "experience" reflected in the spells could be deconstructed by Wang Qi and assimilated into his own system.

Having just distributed the Boluo Divine Flame, Wang Qi also steered the topic in this direction. The Banished Immortals responded in kind, imparting knowledge in these areas to Wang Qi.

This gathering was considered very rewarding by all the Banished Immortals as well as by Wang Qi.

Upon returning home, Wang Qi felt that another Banished Immortal had refined the "Boluo Divine Flame" that he had gifted, sensing another individual connecting with his Heart Demon Great Curse Memory Body. Unfortunately, the Heart Demon Great Curse was not the Divine Plague Curse Technique; it could only read the current thoughts of the Cursed Person, unable to read or even alter past memories. Wang Qi was tempted to send a Gray Pigeon Divine Plague through the connection made by the Heart Demon Great Curse to control the Banished Immortal and read their memories to see their true faces. However, the Divine Plague Curse was still not stable, and the Banished Immortals were known to be online. If Teacher Feng discovered something unclean in the Ten Thousand Immortals Illusion Realm, Divine Capital was sure to be nuked.

"Forget it, if they’re cursed by the Heart Demon Great Curse, then the contaminated Soul must be utterly destroyed... Of course, if these individuals prove to be unproblematic, after I develop the Anti-Heart Demon Spell, I will certainly help them remove the Heart Demon Great Curse. After all, I have plenty of time," Wang Qi thought. "The most important thing right now is not this, though."

Wang Qi looked up at the waning moon and thought, "Another New Year is coming." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, welcome to qi dian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly passes. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
