"The Heart Demon Curse spreads its poison incessantly, primarily based on its infectious nature. As long as one cos into contact with it, one is certain to be infected."
"However, the crux is in 'coming into contact'."
"According to Wang Qi's original conception, the Heart Demon Curse should behave like certain parasitic fungi, taking residence within living beings and twisting their souls. Once the Heart Demon Curse has eroded deeply enough, a portion of the corrupted soul of the host would separate, forming a new Heart Demon Curse Spirit, which would then go on to infect others."
"Since Zhao Qingfeng had only infected mortals, whose souls were too weak to form new Heart Demon Curse Spirits, a large-scale, uncontrollable infection did not occur."
"Nevertheless, Zhao Qingfeng discovered another thod of propagation. Wang Qi had contemplated this thod too, yet he had not deed it a primary defense concern."
"This curse spread through the Human Dao System itself!"
"Indeed, Wang Qi himself had just started to understand this system."
"The concept of the Human Dao System does not exist in the Ancient thods. Practitioners of the Ancient thod were only aware that aligning with the Human Dao could empower certain Martial Arts Fist Intent or advance certain cultivation techniques rapidly, but they didn't understand why, or that it was the result of mutual selection between themselves and the Human Dao System."
"This world, however, is characterized by easily forming Technology Black Boxes; one doesn't need to comprehend the specific theory to develop technologies."
"All the more so since Zhao Qingfeng had in his possession a theory, one that could explain certain phenona simplistically."
"Among the forty-nine Innate Dao, such into Innate Saintly Virtue and rit, could elucidate part of these phenona."
"Because these Innate Dao have accumulated over tens of thousands of years, they appear mature in so respects, even more so than Wang Qi's theories which had only existed for less than half a year. Of course, with Shenzhou's deepening research, within a few years, the theory of Human Dao would reach new heights, surpassing the Innate Five Virtues. But for now, Zhao Qingfeng seed to be ahead of Wang Qi."
"What Chen Youjia saw was a situation as critical as this."
"There exists a connection between people."
"This connection is ethereal, taphysical. The Human Dao System does not operate on interpersonal relationships, but rather on a Spirit Power System built through human interaction."
"This system has a real presence, though hidden within the background of the Spirit Energy Environnt and undetected by cultivators. It is tangible indeed. The Divine Tao Cultivation thod is an exploitation of this system."
"Since it is tangible, naturally there exists a path through which the Heart Demon Curse can be transmitted."
"The Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell is a concentration of mankind's obstinacy towards 'correctness': there is nothing outside the heart, no self, no dao, no principle, embodying those utterly unyielding individuals."
"Once the infected take on the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell, they will never consider themselves at fault, stubbornly pressing on, never willing to look back. And as long as they voice their own reasoning to others, then the listeners, should they resonate with that reasoning even to a slight degree, may be infected."
"In the study, scholars debate; within schools, teachers lecture; on the streets and alleys countless idlers chat about everything under the sun."
"The Heart Demon Curse spreads swiftly in the droplets of their speech, one to ten, ten to a hundred."
"If it weren't for mortal souls being weak, thus exerting little influence on the Human Dao System, channelling out minimal strength, and if the condition that listeners must resonate with the speaker's Dao Heart Pure Yang reasoning for it to spread weren't in place, the Divine Capital would have long been overwheld."
"'About three in a thousand,' Chen Youjia silently counted, while making further records."
"anwhile, Chen Feng diligently stopped a passerby—a scholar who was also a victim of the Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell. Chen Feng bowed and said, 'Esteed brother, I am a cultivator. Recently, I've been testing a new dicine that dissolves fatigue and am seeking people to verify its effects...'"
"These past few days, he used this excuse to deceive several people into ingesting monitors. Of course, to avoid letting the banished immortals realize what he was up to, he intentionally stopped many uninfected mortals as well, giving them real elixirs under the pretense of drug trials."
"Those elixirs were indeed genuine. Tianling Ridge's Innate Peak also sold so alchemy pills targeted at mortals, designed for the cultivators' mortal relatives. These had gentle effects and were produced in limited quantities."
"The monitor actually comprised countless tiny Mustard Level chanical Beasts that could enter the bloodstream, nestle in the brain's lipid layer, monitor cerebral nerves in real-ti, as well as disperse throughout the body to track every anomaly in the soul."
"Per Wang Qi's thinking, Chen Feng's task was to treat the Heart Demon Curse as a contagious disease. Temporarily discarding the 'Human Dao System' concept, he regarded the Heart Demon Curse as a highly infectious pestilence with soul anomaly as one of its complicating symptoms. His goal was to develop a treatnt plan for soul anomalies as quickly as possible."
"Watching his hardworking friend, Chen Youjia looked worriedly towards the distant sky."
"Ti was truly running short."
"——————————————————————————————"
"Zhao Qingfeng tapped the Residence Report in his hand and said, 'This Wang Qi, quite interesting indeed.'"
Lu Wan expressed his doubts, "Boss, didn't you say that Wang Qi was preparing to turn to our side? Why can he still receive rewards from the Immortal Alliance?"
Zhao Qingfeng smiled and said, "This guy is really greedy. He wants to please both sides!"
Xiao Baishuang was startled, "Please both sides? What does that an?"
The Thousand Illusion Divine Spell had already gradually robbed him of his ability to think about conspiracies. He was coming closer to illusory truth, goodness, and beauty, the illusion of hope.
Zhao Qingfeng explained, "He wants to walk the path that combines the Modern with the Ancient thod."
Soone exclaid in surprise, "Is that path feasible? Haven't we all tried it?"
Zhao Qingfeng laughed and said, "Wang Qi is very clever, able to distinguish the primary from the secondary. The Righteous Skill is the essence, while the Magic Outer Dao serves as the application. This path is correct, very good."
The person asked with certainty, "How can you tell?"
"Just look at the Divine Tao secret treasure Wang Qi gave , with a fierce power like a plague of Gu poison, he has greatly defied the hypocritical facade of those Heretics." Zhao Qingfeng laughed and added, "Moreover, his understanding of the Five Virtues is accurate, which absolutely cannot be faked. He has simply taken the 'Mathematics' commonly used in the Modern Heretics and complicated his own Laws further, nothing more than that."
Wang Qi, who was in hiding, heaved a sigh of relief. Zhao Qingfeng had a big prejudice against him. And this massive prejudice had dropped his IQ dramatically, leading to repeated errors in judgnt. At least, Wang Qi no longer had to worry about Zhao Qingfeng suspecting his motives.
However, at this mont, another person said sothing that struck him with terror.
Shu Rongrong asked, "Boss, should we buy Wang Qi's scholarly works and take a look?"
Damn it! You bunch of anti-intellectualists, stick to your ga! Why the hell are you going online? Each one of you is venomous, going online would be just like inviting a Heavenly Sword to strike from the heavens!
Zhao Qingfeng shook his head and chuckled, "What's there to see in scholarly works? They are all empty, useless. Only the real Immortal Dao Skills matter. I have already figured out how to use Wang Qi's Divine Tao Divine Spirit. Why would I need his scholarly works?"
Wang Qi rolled his eyes when he heard this. The best way for two cultivators in the sa field to exchange ideas was through scholarly works, followed by discussion. As for fighting, that was more about honing martial skills than Seeking Dao.
"Isn't it because you can't understand it?" Lu Wan shook his head, "Just looking at this summary makes my head spin. Mathematics, huh, what use is such an incomprehensible thing?"
Zhao Qingfeng said, "The foundation of the Modern Heretics is Mathematics. Compared to the Great Dao, Mathematics is just a minor trick, but it still has its uses. At least it can make Spells sharper and spellcasting simpler."
"What are you thinking?"
"These past few days, I've injected a bit of True Spirit from the Spirit Platform into my body—I can hardly describe this feeling. That Divine Spirit was clearly refined by , and the Magic Artifact it turned into is inside my body, yet I feel its omnipresence," said Zhao Qingfeng. "Perhaps this is what the Modern Heretics refer to as 'High Phase Projection' or sothing similar. Yet, I still tend to prefer the Righteous explanations, the pervasive Human Dao Big Trend."
"This 'Divine Spirit Body' feels more like a powerful Soul to , able to provide stronger computing power. It's just a pity I don't yet know how to use it, so I can't beco extrely intelligent, borderline demonic."
Running a program designed for ho laptops on a Tianhe Computer won't make it much faster because it's designed for the computing power of ho computers, and can't utilize additional cores. Similarly, human Consciousness exists to suit that brain. A stronger brain makes a person smarter, more responsive. But to suddenly give this Consciousness the computing power of a supercomputer, it still couldn't make use of it.
Wang Qi shook his head.
At that mont, Zhao Qingfeng uttered another statent that Wang Qi paid great attention to, "Perhaps, I could use the abilities of Modern Heretics Mathematics to activate the power of this Divine Spirit."
"How would you use it?" soone wondered.
Zhao Qingfeng shook his head, "That, we might have to ask Wang Qi."
"Wang Qi?"
"On the path where the Righteous Skill is the essence and the Magic Outer Dao is the application, he's gone further than any of us," Zhao Qingfeng remarked. "Even though it isn't the Righteous Path, it can still be considered a valuable reference from the side doors."
Lu Wan inquired, "But what exactly do you want to do, Boss?"
"Innate Fate Great Dao!" A glint of light flashed in Zhao Qingfeng's eyes. "I've had a feeling about it lately! Once I control this Great Dao, I'll be able to recover so of my past life's strength!"
Shu Rongrong was astonished, "Calm down, that thought…"
"I've had this thought for a long ti, it's just that my Dao Heart wasn't pure enough before, I didn't cut out various stray thoughts, and I was apprehensive and dared not let go to act!" Zhao Qingfeng's face twisted fiercely, and he roared, "Now, my Xinling has been tempered by the Divine Tao Incense Fire Power, already naturally perfect! I will no longer retreat! Rather than cowering in the Divine Capital, not even daring to form a Nascent Soul, I would rather take this chance and blaze forth with the light of life!"
The Dao Heart Pure Yang Spell, Dao Heart Pure Yang, those cursed by it wouldn't feel the growth of Heart Demons but rather sense their Dao Heart as clear and reaching Perfection.
"The focus of the Innate Fate Great Dao is to control all elents. On this point, Modern Mathematics is mystically useful! This ti, I want to try to reach the open path of the Great Dao using the thods of the side doors!"
Hearing this, Wang Qi's eyes revealed a hint of an unusual look. (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you are welco to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian to read.)
