Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 215 - 175 Banished Immortal

Be careful?

Be careful of what?

When Wang Qi saw Ke Ha'er rushing towards him, he instinctively raised his hand to block, but it felt as though his hand was weighed down by lead, completely unable to lift. How could a strike from the Carefree not hit its mark? As if it were only natural, Ke Ha'er's finger touched Wang Qi's brow.

What happened? Where did it go wrong?

I clearly didn't lie just now?

Where exactly...

"Don't worry." Chen Jingyun watched Wang Qi, who was immobilized by Ke Ha'er's touch, and a rare smile appeared on his face, "Your answer was perfect, both Jiaxuan and I gave you a high evaluation..."

"The concept of 'removing obstacles' resonates deeply with me," Deng Jiaxuan added.

Chen Jingyun shook his head, "Your view leans towards the path of 'application.' But that is alright, Elder Feng also started from 'use' and still reached the pinnacle of Supreme Mathematics, earning the title of national expert of the common people."

A dispute between pure and applied mathematicians?

"Why...?" Under the suppression of Ke Ha'er's Soul Origin, Wang Qi found it difficult to speak.

"You are suspicious," Chen Jingyun cut to the chase, "You entered the Immortal Institute and solved the mathematical problem in the back hall of Transmitting Technique Hall within a few days, which is unreasonable. We are suspecting that you might be related to the Daoist of Uncertainty, potentially an Evil Demon with extraordinary innate talent."

Wang Qi focused his gaze on Ke Ha'er's finger, his expression puzzled.

"This is a necessary test," Deng Jiaxuan explained, "You encountered Evil Demons on Xin Mountain without becoming chaotic. And just now at the Heart Inquiry Pass, though you hid something, you did not lie, proving you have no connection with the Daoist of Uncertainty. It indicates there is a ninety-nine percent chance you are innocent. We are just eliminating the last shred of doubt now."

"Your talent even surpasses some Carefrees; once admitted, you'd be a key figure trained by the entire Immortal Alliance, hence the scrutiny must be more rigorous."

Ah, so I was exposed right at the beginning...

Wang Qi finally understood where the problem lay, and his heart instantly felt uneasy.

Deng Jiaxuan dealt with matters gently, and seeing Wang Qi's discomfort, smiled, "Don't worry too much. Your talent in Modern methods is extremely high, and even if it were less, you wouldn't be an enemy of the Immortal Alliance. As long as you get past this, the Immortal Alliance will gain another Carefree in a hundred or so years!"

An enemy of the Immortal Alliance?

Does the Immortal Alliance truly have enemies?

This was the second time Wang Qi had heard such a statement. Yet this time, the one who spoke these words was not Zhen Chan, an adherent of Ancient Method Mahayana, but Deng Jiaxuan, a core member of Modern Carefree from the Immortal Alliance!

Leaving Wang Qi's thoughts aside, Deng Jiaxuan already said to Chen Jingyun, "It seems Wanfa Sect is about to gain another exceptional disciple..."

"Don't be too quick to congratulate..." Ke Ha'er said stiffly, somewhat hoarsely. He withdrew his finger, his face filled with a wry smile and regret, "Something is not quite right."

Seeing his expression, Wang Qi's heart sank.

Could he have seen something?

Deng Jiaxuan was the first to ask, "Daoist Fellow, what's going on?"

Ke Ha'er looked down at his own finger, lost in thought, "This child's soul... feels very strange. Maybe it's because my skill is lacking, but I've never seen such a thing before. His soul seems half human, the other half... I can't quite make out..."

His words were hesitant, but Chen Jingyun's face had already drastically changed, "'Banished Immortal'?"

"A Banished Immortal... really a Banished Immortal?" Zhen Chan also exclaimed from within the ring.

Seeing that Zhen Chan seemed to know something, Wang Qi hurriedly asked, "Old man, what is a Banished Immortal? Why do they all look like this?"

"In ancient times, some Cultivators influenced Creation so profoundly that their Primordial Spirits produced a peculiar essence, giving them a slim chance to inhabit a fetus and reincarnate after their physical death and soul dissolution. If they break the mystery within the womb, it is akin to being reborn!"

Is it possible... he figured out I'm a transmigrator?

Faced with Chen Jingyun's question, Ke Ha'er hung his head in silence. Chen Jingyun stood up, pausing between each word as he pressed, "Daoist Fellow, is he truly a Banished Immortal or not?"

Ke Ha'er kept quiet, sighing deeply after a while. "The surviving Banished Immortals are too few, lacking in samples, making it impossible to generalize a common rule. So... I'm not entirely sure. Could it be he was simply born with a unique soul?"

"Don't joke," Chen Jingyun said angrily. "This matter concerns... it concerns the very foundation of my Wanfa Sect!"

"It's fifty-fifty. That's all I can really say." Ke Ha'er glanced at Wang Qi and suddenly felt disinterested, "Young brother, I'm sorry."

With that, he floated away.

Once the Soul Origin left, Wang Qi regained his mobility. At the same time, he shuddered.

Murderous intent!

From Chen Jingyun and Deng Jiaxuan, a faint murderous intent definitely emerged!

"Seems the Immortal Alliance doesn't favor Banished Immortals?" Wang Qi breathed a sigh of relief and asked the two Great Cultivators.

Deng Jiaxuan raised an eyebrow, smiling but not quite smiling, "How come you didn't realize we wanted to kill you? Why are you relieved?"

"If you two truly intended to kill me or scheme against me, you wouldn't let me sense any murderous intent," Wang Qi pointed at his nose, "especially since I'm only at the Qi Cultivation Stage."

Deng Jiaxuan shook his head, "Being able to speak under our pressure... you have a strong spirit. That actually makes me more reluctant."

"Why?" Wang Qi pursued the question.

"Ask the Ancient Cultivator's Soul in your ring, see how Ancient Cultivators rate Banished Immortals."

Wang Qi looked at his ring. Before he could ask, Zhen Chan spoke up, "Banished Immortals have an inherent insight, making their cultivation of cultivation techniques twice as effective—no, more than twice, gifted Banished Immortals might outpace ordinary people by five or ten years in just one year! And that bit of insight helps them quickly overcome difficulties in their cultivation..."

Zhen Chan's words weren't meant to deceive the two cultivators. After listening to Zhen Chan's introduction, Deng Jiaxuan continued, "Based on your understanding of the Modern Carefree, you should realize that Modern and Ancient Method are actually diametrically opposed. Banished Immortals practicing Ancient Cultivation do so with double the effectiveness, but practicing Modern Cultivation results in half the effectiveness, and that's putting it lightly."

Wang Qi was defiant, "Just now, you mentioned I have the Carefree Talent, and if I have the potential to reach the Carefree Stage, then isn't it acceptable to take five or ten times longer?"

Chen Jingyun spoke coldly, "In reality, no Banished Immortal has ever crossed the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Barrier."

No Banished Immortal has ever crossed the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Barrier!

Wang Qi suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

Could it be that he too could only stop at the Golden Core Stage?

Golden Core Stage! Merely the Golden Core Stage!

What could the Golden Core Stage achieve? Could it annihilate the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao or the Ancient Method? Could it achieve longevity?

If immortality wasn't possible, would his life's pursuit become a joke again...

"Banished Immortals, due to their past life's insights transforming into innate ideas and instincts, naturally clash with Modern Carefree and their bodies even reject it…"

At that moment, Chen Jingyun's voice reached Wang Qi's ears.

Wait a minute, things might not be as hopeless...

If ordinary Banished Immortals can't progress due to their past life's insights… I'm a transmigrator! If I have any innate ideas from my past life, it would be "scientific spirit"...

Although I'm similar to a Banished Immortal, the essence is completely different! That means the problem of the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Barrier might not even apply to me!

However, Chen Jingyun's next words made Wang Qi's expression change drastically, "Therefore, I cannot let you enter the Wanfa Sect."
