Exploring Immortality Cultivation

Wang Qi's aura climbed progressively, soon reaching an unprecedented level.

In the Qi Cultivation Late Stage, his energy stabilized!

Wang Qi had directly broken through to the Qi Cultivation Late Stage after proving the Godel Completeness Theorem. Over the next week, he went without sleep, engrossed in the native Shenzhou theories of mathematical logic, consolidating his somewhat inflated mana after his breakthrough. However, combat was of limited interest to Wang Qi, so during these days, he had no intention to test his current capabilities.

That was until he met Bao Xiaoya.

Both True Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples would stay at the Sect's headquarters for five years, and according to the three-year Qi Cultivation, six-year Foundation Establishment pace, after five years, both True Disciples and Inner Sect Disciples who descended the mountain would be Foundation Establishment Cultivators. For Wang Qi, an exiled True Disciple, finding a Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator of a similar level was extremely difficult.

Especially someone like Bao Xiaoya, whose combat style and research domain were so similar to his own.

"Don't be frightened by my cultivation level next... Eh!" Wang Qi's originally smug expression suddenly transformed into astonishment, "Junior Sister, you've reached the Qi Cultivation Late Stage too?"

"I can't let Senior Brother get too far ahead," Bao Xiaoya said with a fierce smile, "Although I didn't rely on a thesis to achieve a breakthrough like Senior Brother, I also successfully broke through to the Qi Cultivation Late Stage three days ago—how about it, Senior Brother? Are you scared?"

"Good!" Wang Qi revealed a battle-hungry grin, his eyes ignited with a fiery combat spirit, "This makes us well-matched!"

"Whether we're well-matched or not, we'll know after we fight!" Bao Xiaoya cried out sharply and lunged at Wang Qi with her sword. It was still the Big Number Sword, still the vast Sword Momentum. But this time, her sword was faster and stronger.

If Bao Xiaoya's previous Sword Momentum was like a tranquil lake's surface, then at this moment, she danced into being a flurry of—Indeterminate Sea Waves!

Wang Qi's gaze deepened, void of light, as if connected to another dimension. Soon after, acupoints all over his body flickered with white radiance, like countless stars winking in the sky.

"Watch out, Junior Sister!" Wang Qi stepped back continuously, his weapon seemed to casually tap out, but each blow landed precisely on the flaws within Bao Xiaoya's Sword Momentum, each sword like a "singular point" in the young lady's Sword Momentum that made the formidable Big Number Sword unable to contract smoothly!

"My thesis was on first-order calculus, naturally covering the part of mathematical logic," Wang Qi's steps were buoyant as if he was a mad butterfly amidst raging waves. His sword elegantly and effortlessly swung, creating a calm amidst the storm, "Mathematical logic, based on Sect Master Kang's Set Theory, can encompass all mathematical reasoning. Hence, achieving a breakthrough in this area meant a comprehensive advancement in Wanfa Sect's cultivation methods!"

"Firstly, my Yao Ding Calculating Scripture broke through numerous barriers and has reached the limit of the Qi Cultivation Level, with the Yin Yang Yao within my body nearing ten thousand, my computing power far surpasses my peers!"

Wang Qi's Heavenly Calculation Atlas Cultivation was even stronger than some of Tianling Ridge's True Disciples. This was because his mental method had undergone Xi Baiche's iterative strengthening, numerous near-death mutations, the addition of two Mendel peas, as well as a deadly battle with an Entropy-increasing Demon, and was no longer mundane. However, the Godel Completeness Theorem had managed to elevate the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture's level. Now, the leading cultivation method within Wang Qi was the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture!

"Then! What! About! This?" The response was a strong set of four swords.

Wang Qi's hands buzzed from the impact, forcing him to retreat further. Then, he countered with an even stronger momentum, launching a fierce offensive against Bao Xiaoya, "I've said! My breakthrough! It's! All-around!"

"Let's see you prove it!"

At that moment, Bao Xiaoya retracted her Sword Momentum, then her Big Number Sword turned into the most basic of chops.

In just a short time, she had deduced the Breaking Technique for Wang Qi's Sword Momentum, then slashed with the most stable sword!

At that moment, Wang Qi's figure blurred, and he flitted past Bao Xiaoya's attack with a flicker, his swordsmanship being naturally improvised. It was normal for his movements to be disrupted by Bao Xiaoya's Big Number Sword. His form shook slightly, as if not affected by inertia, seeming to move around Bao Xiaoya's side. He struck again with his sword.

Bao Xiaoya blocked the strike, and exclaimed: "Impermanence Step?"

Her Senior Brother's Impermanence Step had become so exquisite? And it was even mixed with other step techniques?

"I've told you, the breakthrough is all-around!" Wang Qi advanced again, then held the long sword in reverse and surprisingly sent out a punch with the hand gripping the sword. Bao Xiaoya was not confused by this strange move, she abandoned her long sword, raised her left hand, and blocked the punch. Unexpectedly, this punch, filled with boundless momentum, did not carry the slightest force, as if it were just for show.

The empty set? That scattering hand from set theory?

Bao Xiaoya was stunned, but already a punch had landed on her lower abdomen. Then, she formed a seal with her right hand and pressed it towards Wang Qi's left shoulder.

Infinite, countable, Taoyuan Zero Seal!

Taoyuan Zero... Aleph Zero...

Wang Qi was pressed askew by the continuous flow of force. He stepped back several paces, then gave a thumbs up, "Impressive!"

Bao Xiaoya followed up with both palms outstretched, "Have you conceded, Senior Brother?"

Holding his long sword in a reversed grip, Wang Qi corrected his hold and parried Bao Xiaoya's pursuit, "I still have a big move I haven't used yet. It's a sword move I naturally realized while writing my thesis and breaking through, absolutely powerful."

"Bring it on!" Bao Xiaoya showed no sign of retreat, but grew even more excited.

Wang Qi took a precious breath, and then his movement technique became elusive, suddenly circling to Bao Xiaoya's back in a blink.

Immediately after, he lifted his long sword and chopped down with all his might.

There was no simpler sword than this, a sword that even the newest disciple learning swordsmanship could execute.

But even the Carefree had never executed such a sword.

Perfect, flawless, without any contradiction. This was a self-consistent sword, a sublimated sword.

It was "Complete," it was "Established!"

Bao Xiaoya seemed bewitched by the sword light. She gazed at the sword, her eyes glazed over, her hands held the Taoyuan Zero Seal but she didn't think about the next move.

She was destined to lose. Wang Qi's sword would strike its target before her Dharma Seal.

Just then, a mass of irregular colored blocks suddenly appeared beneath Wang Qi's descending sword.

Huh?

Huh?

Both were bewildered by this turn of events. Wang Qi's long sword struck with the colored blocks and Bao Xiaoya's virtual avatar suddenly flickered with countless "snowflake points," as if the signal was bad.

But Bao Xiaoya's seal had struck Wang Qi.

An irresistible, potent force sent Wang Qi flying high, followed by a flare of red light on his body indicating a fatal hit, signaling he must leave the field.

The first thing Wang Qi did upon landing was to draw his sword and swing at the air.

Still, the Completeness Sword, the Established Sword, deduced from Godel's Completeness Theorem and first-order calculus. But no matter how he tried, the long sword would always end with irregular colored blocks and then become completely nonlethal.

Wang Qi exclaimed in frustration, "Damn it! Why did my Killing Sword turn into this damn Mosaic Slash?!"
