A good mathematical problem surpasses even the Immortal Pill.
This was a saying Su Junyu had uttered to Wang Qi long ago.
For the cultivators of the Wanfa Sect, computing a complex problem requires the circulation of mana within the body. This process itself is cultivation. Moreover, a mathematical problem can also bring about various insights. These insights, in turn, feed back into the mana system. The Magic Foundation provided by a single problem might not seem significant; however, gathering sand to create a tower, it could even allow cultivators to breakthrough realms.
The cultivation gained from mathematical problems is flawless and can be completely mastered as soon as it is grasped.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in pursuit of an enemy, Wang Qi employed countless complex algorithms and, ultimately, using the thod of depiction in Hilbert Space, conducted the final processing of a vast system. Most of this process was carried out by Jarvis using the idle computing power of the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, but Wang Qi's consciousness was linked with Jarvis, effectively allowing him to participate and be fully engaged in the process. This operation also affected the mana system in his body.
Wang Qi even vaguely touched upon the realm of the Xiangyu Heavenly Position Technique!
A perfect cultivation thod, the unification of finite, infinite, and uncountably infinite dinsions, can flawlessly accommodate all practical existences, both known and unknown laws!
This complex mathematical thod was applied across many fields. Among them, quantum physics primarily uses it as a mathematical tool.
In Shenzhou, this implies that it could accommodate all the secret techniques of the Mysterious Palace.
Wang Qi was not so surprised about his brush with the Xiangyu Heavenly Position realm. The so-called Xiangyu Calculus or Hilbert Space were techniques he had mastered in a previous life. However, what Feng Luoyi said next caught his attention deeply. "Teacher Feng, what did you say? Isn't it said that the calculator-class Magic Foundations can accommodate all Golden Cores?"
Feng Luoyi's expression was indeterminate, caught between happiness and resignation: "You have only yourself to bla."
Most spells and cultivation thods in mathematics are linear, definitive, and non-chaotic, which makes them easier to control. This also avoids discrepancies between the circulation of mana and one's own estimates, preventing deviations or spell backlash.
During the Foundation Establishnt Stage, the Magic Foundation is fragile. Any calculation could reflect on one's own cultivation and leave traces. To ensure a successful Core Formation, disciples of the Wanfa Sect also avoid such calculations before Core Formation. Generally, cultivators at the Foundation Establishnt Stage of the Wanfa Sect are not capable of performing large-scale, high-precision non-linear calculations at a rate of tens of millions of floating-point operations per second, and usually, they wouldn't engage in such computations at this stage.
But there was an anomaly like Wang Qi. He possessed an Acquired Will that could rge with his own consciousness, he had a high-order calculator, and he rented idle computing power from the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror. He initially practiced both linear and non-linear cultivation thods from Tianling Ridge. More significantly, he was more familiar with this process than the vast majority of people in Shenzhou.
"Your Magic Foundation has taken on a trace of non-linearity, which has never happened before," said Feng Luoyi. "In fact, only after reaching the Primordial Spirit Stage does cultivation slowly begin to incorporate these aspects."
Wang Qi sighed with relief. "It's just a minor adjustnt to the existing design of the Golden Core, nothing too daunting."
Non-linear, probabilistic, and chaotic Core Formation thods already exist in Shenzhou, they're just not very suitable for calculator-class Magic Foundations. It doesn't an that calculator-class Magic Foundations couldn't perform non-linear calculations.
Moreover, from Foundation Establishnt to Core Formation, Wang Qi planned to gradually shift from focusing solely on the way of mathematics to giving equal importance to the way of mathematics and the Heavenly Material Circulation. This mutation could be a blessing in disguise.
"As long as you are aware of it," nodded Feng Luoyi. "Go ahead."
After bidding farewell to Feng Luoyi, Wang Qi went downstairs to find Liu Yi. The analysis was not yet complete. Regardless of whether he understood what he was witnessing or not, Wang Qi continued to observe.
After two hours, the three Grandmasters finally completed the analysis of the ring, modeling every minute detail at a microscopic level.
When Liu Yi returned the ring to Wang Qi, he couldn't help but exclaim, "They instructed us to make an exact copy, but if you ask , why don't they just supply you with a better calculator? Or perhaps grant you permanent access to so of the unused computational power of the Ten Thousand Immortals True Mirror, and let us take this ring instead."
Zhen Chan's tone turned to alarm, "Hey! You aren't planning to erase and then go on a secret mission for the Immortal Alliance, are you?"
Liu Yi burst out laughing, not directly answering the question, but the implication was quite clear.
"Heretics are more detestable than unbelievers" is a notion that exists in every world. To Modern Cultivators, mbers of the Demon Clan could still be potential allies with mutual interests; however, as vermin of Heaven and Earth, the Ancient thod Practitioners were irredeemable and better off eradicated.
Wang Qi also laughed, but not in agreent. Zhen Chan had been with him for many years, which ant he couldn't just cast the old man out to die. Besides, Jarvis's core algorithm existed across two calculators. This section of the algorithm, fortuitously transford from a living consciousness, was tricky to manipulate. Removing one ring would essentially render Jarvis useless, essentially crippling Wang Qi.
Moreover, it's worth noting, computational power that's solely online is just the icing on the cake, hardly a lifeline in desperate tis. Should the day co when Wang Qi found himself in a place without WiFi, then the cloud computing of Upper Capital wouldn't compare to having a talismanic-level calculator at hand.
"Little Wang, you'll be staying in the Divine Capital and not going anywhere for a while, right?"
Upon hearing Liu Yi's question, Wang Qi looked up and said, "Yes, I can't leave."
"Heh, you're about to enter the stage of Refining Heart Amidst the Red Dust and traveling the world, so I had to ask." Liu Yi chuckled, "The work on copying this ring is going to continue for so ti. I'm worried about any minor slip-ups in our data collection, and we might need to borrow your ring again—there are many phenona within the Ancient thod that are quite miraculous."
"Sure."
"Hope it won't be a bother? Are you free lately?"
Wang Qi replied, "My recent cultivation focus will be on practice, transitioning theoretical disciples into actual cultivation thods. This can be interrupted, so you can approach anyti."
Being obliging to others facilitates mutual convenience. Although Wang Qi had attracted the attention of senior mbers of both the Wanfa Sect and the Immortal Alliance, he truly knew only one high-order cultivator, Feng Luoyi. Life-and-death matters, mathematical or cultivation challenges could be addressed by Feng Luoyi, but mundane issues were another story. It wasn't feasible to always seek the assistance of Carefree Great Cultivator for every little problem.
Since his graduation from the Immortal Institute, Wang Qi had been in the Divine Capital, a deadly place for Modern Cultivators, and his network there was indeed lacking.
Seeing that this Grandmaster was approachable, establishing good ties could prove convenient in the future.
Liu Yi kindly asked, "Little Wang, what do you plan to cultivate?"
Indeed, what to cultivate?
He had too many planned endeavors, it was ti to organize them one by one.
"Undecided." Wang Qi turned and left, his consciousness simultaneously branching into over twenty threads.
This was the limit he could reach after losing the enhancent of the Life Fla. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to qidian to cast your recomndation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
