Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Wang Qi rarely paid attention to his peers. To be precise, apart from his few friends and rivals like Ai Changyuan, who was evenly matched with him, and Bao Xiaoya from the Bo Family, who had the potential to become a formidable opponent, he couldn't remember the names of many other young geniuses.

When he saw Sun Sheng, Wang Qi truly felt a moment of radiance before his eyes. Sun Sheng's Mana Power Intent had a vast and wild flavor, yet at the same time was filled with an exuberant sense of vitality, like a germ that had been nurtured for many years and was about to break through its seed, or like a summer cicada that had lain dormant underground for ten years and was about to undergo metamorphosis in a day.

"This guy, he's actually made some decent progress with the Heavenly Calculation Atlas!"

Seeing this, Wang Qi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The Heavenly Calculation Atlas was one of the strongest mental methods. Its path of endless evolution ensured that it could always be passed down as a top-tier Cultivation Technique. However, endless evolution also meant that different people would achieve different results when practicing the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, which made it very difficult to guide.

Among the practitioners of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas that Wang Qi knew, Ai Qinglan had already cultivated to another level and was utterly beyond his comprehension. Mao Zimiao had just gotten started and was combining it with the innate abilities of the Demon Clan, which held little reference value for Wang Qi.

Now, he finally had the chance to closely observe a practicioner of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas at the same realm as himself—how could he not be thrilled by the hunt?

Sun Sheng felt uncomfortable being scrutinized and frowned, "What are you looking at?"

"Oh, my apologies, it's my first time observing up-close a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple who has practiced the Heavenly Calculation Atlas to this extent, I just got excited."

Sun Sheng swayed slightly, "You, you've been observing my Combat from the first day!"

Wang Qi scratched his head, then suddenly clapped his hands, "Oh, it's you! I knew it; cultivators of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas aren't cabbages that you see everywhere—there can't possibly be a bunch of them just like that!"

A vein throbbed on Sun Sheng's forehead, "You..."

Wang Qi ignored Sun Sheng's displeasure and began to ponder the tactics he might encounter soon.

"Firstly, evolution is not just about enhancing fighting strength. Continuously eliminating individuals with weak combat power so that those with strong combat power survive is not evolution, that's raising Gu! Therefore, he probably won't possess aggressive innate divine abilities like Zimiao at this stage. In other words, his basic attacks definitely won't be stronger than mine."

"But the true essence of evolution lies in survival, so his ability to survive should be stronger than mine. Mana capacity, mana regeneration speed, and physical condition should all be no weaker than mine."

"The most secure approach would be to strike him with the first blow, not giving him any chance to widen the advantage!"

Thinking this, Wang Qi furrowed his brow.

Life is cosmic localized negative entropy, and so the disorderly power of the Heavenly Entropy Technique would be slightly less effective against the Heavenly Calculation Atlas. If this Sun Sheng possessed the destiny of a main character, he might even use Wang Qi's Heavenly Entropy Technique to ascend to a higher level...

At that moment, in the arena marked with the letter 'B', number seven, a disciple using the Rapid Flame Body Method defeated his opponent with a beautiful straight punch and won the match. The referee's announcement interrupted Wang Qi's thoughts.

"Really now, no choice but to go for it," Wang Qi shrugged helplessly and lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, floating into the arena.

Once the two stood facing each other, Sun Sheng asked, "I have a question. Is there a big difference between you now and six months ago?"

"Probably about three to five times," he guessed.

"And how do you compare now to Ai Changyuan six months ago?"

"I've trained myself to be five times what he was half a year ago," Wang Qi said somewhat resentfully, "I mean, come on! Am I valued only for 'defeating Ai Changyuan once'?"

Sun Sheng had a haughty expression, "Before you shed the suspicion of being a Banished Immortal, how many people took you seriously? Without breaking through the Primordial Spirit Heaven Barrier, one can never transcend the mundane."

Wang Qi exhaled, "I always thought I had good self-cultivation, but to be told off to my face like this still stings."

That's it! I'll beat him to a pulp using this pretty boy's favored style!

Feeling the hostility from Wang Qi, Sun Sheng grinned and his combat aura rapidly soared to its peak!

"This is..." Feeling the overwhelming aura rushing towards him, Wang Qi was slightly startled. In that moment, he felt he was not facing a person, but a colossal barbaric beast!

"What a terrifying aura, it's probably equivalent to the Qi Cultivation Stage Great Perfection!"

Zhen Chan, hiding in the ring, couldn't help but think silently.

However, facing this powerful aura directly, Wang Qi showed a hint of disappointment, "This guy, he's too focused on combat power and has fallen behind because of it."

The ultimate goal of biological evolution is always survival. Combat power can ensure temporary dominance, but when a great catastrophe strikes, such excessive combat ability only becomes a burden!

Combat Power? Unrivaled Momentum? Ghost Divine Power? These can at most serve as achievements that accompany evolution, not as its goal!

Having also practiced the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, Wang Qi had learned about related areas from Ai Qinglan. Compared to Ai Qinglan, the premier young individual of Tianling Ridge, how could Sun Sheng's vision match up?

Sun Sheng frowned, "I've heard you excel in Sword Technique, not drawing your sword?"

Wang Qi smiled, "It's not necessary."

In fact, after mastering group theory transformations, Wang Qi had the taste of understanding one technique to master all techniques in martial arts. Apart from the enhancements provided by the weapons themselves, there was little difference between fist and sword techniques for him.

"Arrogant!"

Sun Sheng fiercely stomped on the ground and with a terrifying wind pressure, his fists struck out consecutively towards Wang Qi!

Wang Qi did not retreat, as there was no need for him to do so against an attack of this level. He nonchalantly shook his sleeve, revealing his hands, and then took a half step forward.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two loud noises.

He had actually chosen to meet attack with attack!

"Among the Mana in the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, just partition off ten percent to strengthen the body! Even with just ten percent effort, my body's strength can still temporarily surpass his!"

Feeling the horrifying force on his hands, Wang Qi revealed a grim smile, and with a turn of the Heavenly Entropy Technique, his formidable mastery of thermodynamics instantly ignited all of his strength!

"What?" Hearing the cracking sounds from his joints, Sun Sheng finally narrowed his pupils and his face revealed a trace of shock!
