Chapter 64

The Trial Grounds, not large by any means, yet not small either. It’s not difficult for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to fly around the Trial Grounds, and if it’s someone with a long-lasting aura and deep cultivation, they might not even be out of breath.

However, for a Qi Condensation cultivator, this place is indeed too large.

After continuously collecting samples from five locations, the four people were all somewhat exhausted. Wu Fan even sat down on the ground, indicating that he couldn’t get up at all. Mao Zimiao had no strength left to use her magic to protect her body, and her arms were bitten and swollen in several places.

At this point, Wang Qi had no choice but to let everyone stop and rest.

Wu Shiqin’s condition was better, so she took the lead in vigilance while Wang Qi and the other two sat in meditation to recover their energy.

As soon as he entered a meditative state, Wang Qi felt the extraordinary nature of this forest.

The Heavenly Evolution Chart cultivation method is inherently incomplete, and the circulation of magic power before the deduction is not very stable, with many changes. However, after entering a meditative state, Wang Qi found that the Heavenly Evolution magic power in his body was more active than ever before. It was even adjusting the pathways on its own.

Wang Qi felt a surge of joy. His Heavenly Evolution Chart had mysteriously broken through to the second level with the help of the Calculation Master, and he had been unable to find the feeling of cultivating this method since then. He never expected that in this forest, he would have the feeling of evolving again so soon after breaking through!

Truly worthy of the Law of the Spirit Beast Mountain!

What Wang Qi didn’t know was that this was because his cultivation was still shallow. A Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Heavenly Evolution Chart would feel a significant improvement upon entering this forest. It was even said that there were records of Core Formation cultivators breaking through to the Spirit stage with the help of the Law of this forest.

After a while, Wang Qi had fully recovered his magic power. At this moment, he suddenly felt a strange sensation, like a seed breaking through the soil, like the chirping of insects that had echoed for ten thousand years, like the joy of union, and like the serene peace before death!

He suddenly felt that he should continue cultivating. But after calming down, the young man frowned instead. He forcibly interrupted this feeling and exited the meditative state.

After opening his eyes, Wang Qi glanced at Mao Zimiao. Even in meditation, the cat-eared girl had a joyful expression, indicating that she had gained a lot. He nodded and said to Wu Shiqin, “I’m fine now, you should rest too.”

Wu Shiqin didn’t refuse, sitting down on the spot to meditate and regulate her breath.

Wang Qi clenched his fist, then relaxed it, and clenched it again. This action continued several times. He carefully felt the subtle changes in his body, then frowned and said, “What exactly did I feel just now?”

His goal was clearly to earn merit points here and then follow Xi Boche’s guidance in cultivation. His path would inevitably be inseparable from mathematics, and every step of this path should be clear and verifiable.

But just now, he actually wanted to rely on the mysterious insights to deduce the Heavenly Evolution Chart?

Zhen Chanzi had said that the true supreme cultivation methods are not recorded in writing. These methods are passed down by the patriarchs directly sealing their insights into secret treasures, which are then directly incorporated into the souls of future disciples, allowing them to cultivate the supreme methods.

The *Great Luo Chaos Heaven Scripture* that Zhen Chanzi had passed down only had written instructions for the cultivation methods before the Qi Condensation stage.

However, Wang Qi, who was educated in the modern method, knew that anything not recorded in writing was created by second-rate pioneers and left for third-rate successors to cultivate.

The great principles of the universe can be summarized in a few concise axioms; how could a mere cultivation method not be summarized in writing?

The ancient cultivation methods not being recorded in writing is not because the methods are too profound, but because the level of ancient cultivators was too low, and they couldn’t understand them!

And if someone who can’t surpass such low-level patriarchs needs to learn a second-rate cultivation method that isn’t recorded in writing, aren’t they just a third-rate person!

In the Immortal Dao of the Divine Continent, the three principles of primordial power and the Heavenly Song Primordial Group, which are the three laws of mechanics and the Maxwell equations on Earth, which one doesn’t explain the laws of all things? How can these be compared to the mysterious "not recorded in writing" of those who talk about nothing and create in isolation?

If he accepted this layer of insight, he would be led by this feeling, and he would have to spend time analyzing the axioms behind this feeling in the future! This situation would be far less beneficial for Wang Qi than gradually gaining insights and incorporating evolutionary algorithms and mutation models into his cultivation method.

After thinking this through, Wang Qi wanted to wake up Mao Zimiao. Looking at this clumsy cat with a blissful expression, he feared she was already immersed in the cultivation method and couldn’t pull herself out!

Just as Wang Qi was about to get up, he heard Su Junyu’s voice: “Your paths are different. This layer of insight might not be a bad thing for Mao Zimiao.”

Wang Qi turned around and saw that Su Junyu’s mat was already less than a foot off the ground. Su Junyu was still holding his *Ge Gong Case*. When the trial began, Su Junyu had only read the beginning, but now the thick book was already more than halfway through.

“You really take reading seriously…”

Su Junyu ignored Wang Qi’s teasing and asked, “In your future path, mathematics should play a significant role, right?”

Wang Qi nodded, there was no need to hide this. In the future, he might choose the Myriad Methods Sect!

Su Junyu said, “The magic power and intent in your body are very mixed, including the Heavenly Evolution Chart. Although your cultivation method as a whole has a strong flavor of the Heavenly Evolution Chart, the feelings of the *Yao Determination Calculation Scripture* and the *Geometry Book* are also very strong, indicating that you are on the path of using mathematics to deduce the Heavenly Evolution. Some of the books left by the former sect leader also explain this. But do you think Mao Zimiao’s path will be the same as yours?”

Wang Qi couldn’t help but imagine the scene of the cat-eared girl using her fingers to perform the *Yao Determination Calculation Scripture*. Thinking of her drooping ears when she failed to perform it, Wang Qi almost burst out laughing: “How could it be!”

Su Junyu nodded, “You know that too. She is likely to follow the pure Heavenly Evolution path, and more insights into the ambiance here would be beneficial. This will help her establish a macro view of the Heavenly Evolution Theory, as the true intent of a Transcendent cultivator is left here.”

Although Su Junyu was giving advice, the admiration in his tone couldn’t be hidden. The modern method needs geniuses, but not those who can’t control their talents. The Myriad Methods Sect has had many disciples with naturally strong computational abilities, who could even see through famous problems like the "Pearl Calculation" and gain insights. However, these people were trapped by their strong innate computational abilities, their algorithms were not precise, and they couldn’t summarize their insights into writing. To this day, none of them have reached the Transcendent stage, and even the Nirvana stage is rare.

And "Crown of Myriad Methods" Chen Jingyun is also famous for the Pearl Calculation. Chen Jingyun’s talent and inspiration were not good, no, they were almost poor. However, he relied on his step-by-step efforts and the Pearl Calculation to reach the semi-Transcendent stage. For the Myriad Methods Sect, Wang Qi’s attitude is the best.
