Chapter 90: Primary School Cultivation thod
The monthly examination was a euphemism for ti off, as far as Wang Qi’s past life mories went. Immortal Alliance took it to a new level, giving disciples an entire day off to adjust before the tests. Then again, in regards to the martial test, a day off was most needed.
Wang Qi welcod the short vacation with open arms. The last few days, he’d been using his spare ti to tinker. Now that he had a full day all to himself, he might even get to finish his project before the tests.
Such research had little to no aning, sure, but it was interesting at the very least.
At the crack of dawn, Wang Qi ran off to the library’s mirror room. When paying for the right to read a specific article, one didn’t need to buy the entire book. Through All-immortal Realm, one had direct access to it by paying rits. It was no different than online reading. Wang Qi redeed a paper and transcribed it.
Zhen Chanzi noticed the title, Yin Yang Exchange Thesis, “Kid, are you researching finger-counting?”
Wang Qi nodded. “Kinda, to practice Divine Hexagram Computation.”
Finger-counting, or Earth’s decimal to binary system conversion, was a mandatory course for nine-year-olds in Wang Qi’s eyes. Putting it another way, a middle schooler could do it.
The sa thod regarded as simple and easy today once took so genius countless hours to work it out. As to why later generations considered it easy, because they stood on the shoulders of giants.
Wang Qi was a math expert back on Earth, but even he found it impossible to invent the binary system from scratch.
The high starting point made later learners overlook the foundational knowledge it was built upon. Euclid’s axiom was learned in primary school, but there were next to no primary schoolers capable of proving it. The feat would lead to a potential Unfettered on Divine Province.
As we all know, the German Mathematician Leibniz invented the binary system on Earth. Wang Qi mainly learned Boolean algebra, with a generation gap between the forr and Boole. Wang Qi was unclear about the entire process leading to Leibniz’s binary system’s discovery.
Then again, Wang Qi was far from able to exhibit a cultivation thod’s true concepts, and neither Leibniz operator nor Boolean algebra were bad for him. The purpose of reading this article was another.
Back in his room, he gave Yin Yang Exchange Thesis’s copy a thorough read. Divine Province’s historical records stated that Integration Exalted Leibniz was struck by inspiration as he gazed upon the Eight Trigrams, resulting in this article. He spent countless hours trying to incorporate it into a previously unsolvable cultivation thod. That cultivation thod was Divine Hexagram computation.
To understand its roots, reading the Yin-Yang Exchange Thesis was a must.
Wang Qi closed his eyes once finished, feeling for Divine Hexagram’s spiritual power. Then he wrote down a function.
Divine Hexagram Computation’s spiritual power had a shifting nature, an eigen transformation function, or essence equation in this world.
Wang Qi’s next action left Zhen Chanzi confused. He used mathematical interpolation to piece together Divine Hexagram Computation and Elental Sect’s ntal art’s essence equation.
“What are you doing?”
“Multi-layered false position thod, or trial and error technique. That’s what Divine Province calls it.”
“You didn’t answer my question.” Zhen Chanzi drifted.
He combined formulas for an hour, a mont when Wang Qi looked at the paper in contemplation. He then glanced at Elental Sect’s ntal art while writing sothing down. Zhen Chanzi’s shock mounted.
[He’s creating a cultivation thod!]
Ancient cultivation put an emphasis on seniority. The more ancient the thod, the better it was, but that didn’t stop other cultivators from making their own ntal arts and paving a new way their predecessors never dread of. More often than not, these new thods fit their creator only, non-standard, but it was universal for every creator to beco a force to be reckoned with.
Wang Qi was doing it as early as Qi Refining Realm?
Wang Qi sat the entire day at his desk, deducing the ntal art with only a couple of short breaks in between for drinking and eating. As the sky darkened, he put down the brush and stretched his stiff muscles. “Done.”
Zhen Chanzi was incredulous. “You made a cultivation thod in just a day?”
“Most of it.”
Wang Qi held another piece of paper and copied down the useful parts he deduced, then slapped the table. “Old man, take a look at this ntal art!”
Zhen Chanzi scrutinized the paper with the utmost focus, being respectful of Wang Qi’s work.
His mood beca impossible to describe. If it were Wang Qi, he’d yell, “I took my pants off and everything. Is that what you wanted to show ?” However, Zhen Chanzi hadn’t worn pants in ten thousand years, and secondly, he was focused on his conduct, holding back on similar profanities. Wang Qi could even feel the ring shaking. Zhen Chanzi finally asked, “Is there a point in letting
see this?” (Tamon: this part is frad like a typical ani scene where the explicit phrasing lets another character’s mind jump to conclusions.)
“Guess.”
“The cultivation thod is… junk.”
Zhen Chanzi believed not even the worst rogue cultivator of his generation, ten thousand years ago, would care about such a la cultivation thod. In today’s cultivation system, he had no right to speak, while he was an expert in ancient history. He understood at a glance that this art wouldn’t get one to the Foundation Establishnt Realm.
[Is this the result of combining one of the five best’s ntal art and Elental Sect’s Great Ascension Level cultivation thod?]
[Are you fricking shitting ?]
Wang Qi could feel his outrage, smiling, “It’s tailor-made for you.”
“Shut it! I never gave such trashy ancient arts a second look in my life.”
Wang Qi explained, “You’re not supposed to train it, but read it.”
“Eh?”
Wang Qi sneered, “Didn’t you say Divine Hexagram Computation felt familiar yet you could never put your finger on it?”
“Yeah.”
“Thinking it over, I noticed two apparent problems. Firstly, you don’t get modern cultivation. Secondly, you can’t relate finger-counting and cultivation thods, not to ntion you’re not familiar with binary systems. I thought about it and adapted it to a decimal cultivation thod, which the ancient system approved.”
Divine Hexagram Computation’s spiritual power would be classified as having yin-yang attributes by the ancient system. Matching it with Elental Sect’s ntal art, it could create ten kinds of spiritual powers, like yin wood, yang wood, yin water, yang water, and so on. Matching it with so of the arts in the Divine Hexagram Computation, could also play a role in arithtics.
“Also, I even simplified it. Fully decimal and easy ntal art fitting for a primary schoo-, uh, untaught child like a glove.” Wang Qi put on a door salesman’s smile and gave the ring a thumb’s up as he oversold it, “Because you’re worth it.” (Tamon: Wang Qi used L’Oreal’s comrcial slogan.)
