New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 93 [Dahuang Xianjing. Server] To be installed
After recovering the 'Gnome Deformation' in the garden, Yuan Zhu no longer had guinea pigs to practice with, and he didn't want to go down the sewer either. So he continued to harvest the vast garden as quickly as possible.

He tried to release the Holy Light in various forms, which could not only improve his control but also enrich his experience. Finally, he harvested the ashes and forged the Holy Seal.

It now appeared that, under the influence of [Sanctuary (Seal)], condensing and compressing his holy light into a force field was extremely easy, as simple as breathing. However, achieving other effects required a great deal of control and concentration.

Perhaps, a Holy Light practitioner who wanted to develop a skill with a special effect needed to pair it with the corresponding 'Soul Ashes' to perform Holy Seal adjustments, just like when he accidentally developed the [Holy Cough].

If you want to add the [Freeze] effect to Holy Light, find a monster with the ability to freeze, refine it into ash in large quantities, and use it to cast seals. This will gradually guide the Holy Light to the "Freeze" mutation. Otherwise, with only 9 Holy Seals, you won't be able to put together a few sets of combined skills until you die.

Even as he was radiating Holy Light, manifesting the 'Holy Light Force Field' over and over again with great relish, blocking, imprisoning, and refining the diseased plants, his mind became more active than ever before, and he asked curiously:

"Little Latiao, you said the Tiger Demon's [Deformed Spiritual Root] originated from a world of immortal cultivation, and the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] was also prepared for that world. So, isn't the [Immortal Scripture] database filled with cultivation techniques from the immortal universe? Even if it changes universes and can't practice due to acclimatization, it can still be used for reference. I'm afraid of going astray, but the goblins aren't. If we can use their sacrifices to compile a 'Shadow Immortal Form Refining Technique,' and thus significantly improve the quality of the raw materials for the minions, that would be a great thing."

Xiao La Tiao immediately replied, "Perhaps there is a record in the core database of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] you have, but I didn't find any relevant information in the contaminated data that I was able to browse."

Yuan Zhu was puzzled, "What's that [BOSS Template]? Isn't the Tiger Demon's abilities the magical powers of the demons in the Immortal Universe?"

Xiao La Tiao: "Yes, it is a demonic power, but it is more like a 'bloodline talent' rather than a skill acquired through practice. It is completely possible to use and upgrade it without knowing why it is there. It's like a warlock in the D&D world view, rather than a mage who learns spell models."

Seeing that Yuan Zhu was still somewhat puzzled, the elf immediately became serious: "Boss, what I am about to say will seriously violate the User Security Agreement, the core operating terms of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture], and the interests of the company. Please fasten your seatbelts and don't panic."

Yuan Zhu was shocked and looked forward to it: "You tell me!"

"On the surface, [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] is a sandbox exploration game that projects spiritual signals synchronously into an alternate universe, allowing users to possess the bodies of natives, be reborn, and experience the customs of another world. It's a 100% realistic alternate universe immortal cultivation game. But in reality, the company directly transforms the user's soul, compressing the entire [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture server], and then protecting it with a 'digital soul firewall', sending it to another immortal universe to possess civilians."

"After successfully possessing a body, the user will start from scratch, exploring, collecting, and gathering confidential intelligence from otherworldly realms. Guided by the [Immortal Scripture], they will investigate, analyze, and study the spectrum of spiritual energy, the microscopic structure of material elements, and detect biological gene sequences. In the original body of an indigenous person, they will personally embark on the path of cultivation. Through the [Immortal Scripture]'s backend monitoring and analysis, they will steal intelligence and cultivation materials, compile the laws of otherworldly realms, summarize the mysteries of the immortal cultivation system, and explore the true meaning of immortality and extraordinary power."

Yuan Zhu: "It's pretty much what I thought. But why haven't you demonstrated functions like 'energy spectrum measurement, elemental microstructure exploration, and biological gene sequencing'? Did you embezzle the benefits that the [Immortal Scripture] was supposed to give me?"

Xiao La Tiao rolled his eyes. "That's the basic function of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture]! I'm just a subroutine [Game Guide Wizard], with a huge difference in authority. I rely on you for my existence, and if you don't have this ability, then naturally I don't have it either."

Yuan Zhu was not satisfied with this: "Reveal something more explosive!"

"Alright!" Little Latiao perked up. "The intelligence I can read is limited. I only know that the planet where the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] is located once discovered a 'wormhole world (Xiandao Universe)' with completely different cosmic constants and physical laws. The creatures in this other universe possessed extremely long lifespans and the power to fly, burrow into space, and move mountains and seas, but their social structure was extremely backward. This discovery aroused the greed and ambition of those in power. We attempted friendly exchanges (invasion), but due to our incompatibility with the local environment, we were maliciously expelled."

"During their brief encounter, the 'Technology Exploration Company' behind the [Immortal Scripture] hunted and captured numerous research specimens (demon beasts), bringing them back to their own planet in an attempt to decipher them, but with limited success. The [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] is one of the products of this reverse engineering project. From numerous specimens, the company extracted specialized tissues and organs sensitive to spiritual energy. Through energy-based transformation and digitalization, they created a product that could be observed and read by a 'digital soul', named the [Spirit Root]."

"Boss, pay attention. The terms I'm talking about here, like 'technology' and 'cultivation,' as well as 'energyization,' 'data soul,' and so on, are all synonyms I've found from your memories of Earth. There are similarities, but the essence is different, so don't confuse them. Our world's 'technological system' is completely different from the foundation of your Earth's technology tree. If I had to describe it, it's more like a rune energy civilization. Rune programs can be edited and loaded into the soul, granting abilities like protection and time travel."

"The [Spirit Root] carried by the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] is the crystallization of the intersection of the different laws of two universes. It can capture and absorb spiritual energy, continuously transforming the host's flesh and blood structure, and strengthening their spiritual aptitude. At the same time, it is monitored and read by the [Digital Soul Program]. When it is carried into the user's soul, it can quietly possess the bodies of indigenous people, granting them spiritual aptitude. Through practice and learning, it can steal the skills of the immortal universe and explore the mysteries of the indigenous human spiritual transformation."

Yuan Zhu had already imagined a spy war between two different cosmic civilizations, a plot of mutual infiltration and counter-infiltration, and the theft of the enemy civilization's supreme technology. Unfortunately, he was in Duling, where the environment was even worse.

"So, the [BOSS Template] is essentially the 'blood and flesh spirit root' peeled off from a tiger demon, completely transformed into energy and soul, integrated into my soul, and endowed with demon blood?"

Xiao Latiao said proudly: "Not only the [Tiger Demon], but also a small number of [Snake Demon], we are the strongest!"

Then she changed the subject: "The [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] appears to be prepared for VIP customers, but it's not. Authentic users are more like a dandelion. After arriving in the Immortal Universe, the [Immortal Scripture] they carry will instruct the host to find a suitable 'spiritual vein' to house and build a server, establishing a signal connection with the main universe. It will then select suitable targets, release more [Immortal Scripture Clients], select indigenous people for marking, obtain more research samples, gather intelligence, upload it to the server, and exchange intelligence with the main world."

"???"

Yuan Zhu: "So, the so-called VIP client is nothing more than a King's pioneer? His main function is to carry goods with his soul, sneak into the other world and take over the body of the native (Li Shouyi), transport the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] to the Immortal Dao Universe, and install servers in the spiritual veins?"

Little Spicy Tiao: “Yes!”

Yuan Zhu: "What about the [Boss Template]?"

"The [Boss Template] is a valuable item. It should be stored in a hidden database, a most precious cultivation resource. Under normal circumstances, the legitimate user you replaced would be assumed to have low qualifications, and only have access to the normal cultivation mode. Step by step, you'll explore your home country, starting from scratch in search of immortals and seeking the truth, trying to access spiritual energy. By gathering cultivation resources and with the help of the [Client], you'll be able to forge a [Normal Spiritual Root] that suits your constitution."

"Stored within the hidden database are seven precious spiritual roots derived from 'Demon Samples.' These samples were spoils of war during the collision (invasion) between two civilizations. Transformed through the most advanced technology, they are extremely valuable. As expected, the [Immortal Scripture] will guide users on the path of cultivation. After contacting major local sects, they will search for talented disciples with special qualifications. They will then secretly implant [Demon Roots] into these disciples, helping them gain the potential to reach higher realms of cultivation and collect more hidden and valuable data."

Only native geniuses who possessed super cheats could stand out, maintain a clean record, and soar higher. Meanwhile, geniuses who possessed demonic spiritual roots, with leverage in the hands of the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture, were forced to succumb and cooperate for a better future, offering more advanced cultivation data while enjoying the benefits.

This is the correct way to open the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture]. Yuan Zhu was speechless. "Does it have to be so real? I was able to travel through time and space, and I was a lucky soul donor randomly selected. I thought the original user was noble enough, but in the end, not only was his soul shattered, but he was also left to wander the spirit world, and fell to the ground and turned into a box, making wedding clothes for me. Even if he did successfully reach his destination, he would be tacitly regarded as a short-lived mule with no growth potential. The purpose of working hard for half a lifetime, contacting local geniuses, is to make wedding clothes for others? Give them poisonous cheats? Those local geniuses who actually got the cheats (BOSS templates) are still tools and guinea pigs providing data for the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture]... Is there still trust in this world? Is there still sincerity?"

The elf helplessly spread his hands, "╮(╯▽╰)╭ You're right! This is the frustration of true immortal cultivation. The original client was terminally ill and spent a fortune to purchase this guinea pig time travel slot, hoping to live a second life in another world. If successful, he would indeed have lived another life. The company didn't deceive him. Unfortunately, he was shattered on the way to the time travel, burned to ashes, and strengthened your soul foundation, Boss."

Yuan Zhu carefully considered the information Latiao had illegally provided. The information was a bit overwhelming, but he still managed to grasp two key points.

"Wait, according to what you said, I've already experienced the normal client, which assists me in acquiring the qualifications to cultivate the [Holy Light] in my human form, and embarked on the path of cultivation. Meanwhile, the hidden [Deformed Spiritual Root] has endowed me with the bloodline talent of the [Shadow Tiger Demon]. But on top of these two, I also carry a [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] server within my soul, awaiting installation? And within this server, are five uncontaminated [Demon Spiritual Roots] compressed?!"

Yuan Zhu suddenly realized that he was actually a treasure boy. My worth is beyond my imagination!

The elf said, "That's right! The server can be considered the true form of the evil [Dahuang Laodeng]. Once it finds a 'spiritual vein' and decompresses and installs it, it can then transform into a server in the [Xiandao Universe], supporting multiple [clients] and providing behind-the-scenes support, helping more users embark on the path of cultivation and become the company's 'Xiandao spies and guinea pigs.'"

Yuan Zhu: "So only by completely unzipping and installing it can I truly unleash the true value of the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] and obtain a server similar to a supercomputer to assist me in exploring and analyzing the contaminated energy, transcendental rules, and biological gene sequencing of the Duling spirits...instead of just making random summaries like I am doing now?"

"No, no, no! Once the server is unzipped, [Dahuang Laodeng] might resurrect. And whether the [Xianjing.Server] is serving you, or you are obeying the [Server], that's another matter. Be prudent, my king!"

Yuan Zhu thought seriously, "That's not right. Isn't the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] afraid of polluted energy and being contaminated, so it hides there? If I unzip the server, will it really come back to life? Isn't it afraid of shit? The [Immortal Scripture]'s reserve energy must have been exhausted long ago. It had no choice but to accept [Shadow Pollution], relying on the 17.6% pollution level as a price to adapt to the 'Shadow Spiritual Energy' and barely survive."

Yuan Zhu's eyes flashed with wisdom. "So, now we are the ones who are supporting this old Deng through the [Shadow Spiritual Energy], letting him linger in the ICU. We are the ones in charge! If he dares to resurrect, I will cut off the 'Shadow Spiritual Energy' and make it shut down. Or I will absorb more pollution and let it completely pollute the demon! The more the [Immortal Scripture] is polluted, the greater our share will be, right?"

The elf had a silly expression on his face at the moment and looked at Yuan Zhu in confusion.

"Boss, I don't really understand either. Sigh? I'm just an ordinary, common elf."

Yuan Zhu: "You're useless! You have the ambition to replace the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture, but you don't have the guts or the plan. How can you replace it?"

"I listen to you!"

Yuan Zhu: "One more thing. You said that under normal circumstances, after the Immortal Scripture server is installed, it will release more [Clients] to parasitize the natives, helping them synthesize 'spiritual roots' and embark on the path of cultivation? In other words, the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] has the function of creating 'spiritual roots'?"

"Yes. However, this type of 'spiritual root' is of very crude quality and requires the use of natural treasures from the Immortal Cultivation Universe as raw materials. Essentially, it's a reorganization of the extraordinary substances from the Immortal Cultivation Universe and implantation into mortals to equip them for cultivation. The seven demonic spiritual roots contained within the [Immortal Scripture] are the true 'bloodline spiritual roots.'"

Yuan Zhu: "That's fine! Don't you think this [Spiritual Root] sounds very similar to the [Kunlun] Peach Spiritual Root, the [Huangtian] Root Bone, the [Holy Light] Holy Mark, and the [Buddha's] Buddha Head Cocoon? If I expand and strengthen the [Shadow System], this 'Immortal Scripture Spiritual Root' might be the unique entry foundation for the [Shadow Immortal Path]? Then, using the Immortal Scripture's spy server function, I can maliciously steal and copy various extraordinary systems, and eventually integrate them to develop the Shadow Immortal Cultivation. I will redefine the [Immortal Path] of the Duling Spirit!"

He, Yuan Zhu, also has dreams.

The elf hesitated, "But installing the Immortal Scripture server is very risky. Perhaps we should be cautious and wait until your [Shadow] and [Holy Light] are stronger and can compete with the [Immortal Scripture]. Besides, where can we find a 'Spiritual Vein'? The [Immortal Scripture] requires a Spiritual Stone vein as the hardware carrier for the server to be successfully installed."

Yuan Zhu: "If the risk is high, we should use artificial control to reduce it. I urgently need to become stronger now. The mastermind behind this [Garden] may return to check at any time, and I can't wait any longer. Wouldn't it be better if there were no immortal spiritual veins? This world has [Spiritual Layer, Foam Layer, Astral Layer]... I use the [Shadow Layer] to drive the server, what do you say? Maybe I can also use 'Shadow Pollution' to further suppress [Immortal Scripture Lao Deng] and make the server work for me!"

When he heard Xiao La Tiao mention spiritual veins, his first reaction was the shadow world of [Xiao Xihongjie]. That shadow dimension was simply a natural 'shadow spiritual vein', which was used to install the 'Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture Supercomputing Server' to facilitate heat dissipation and the absorption of (shadow) spiritual energy.

The second option is the [Disease Garden] in front of you. The space of this garden is not large, but the pollution concentration is extremely high. It can be used to charge the [Immortal Scripture Server], directly pollute the ascension, and cause Lao Deng to explode on the spot.

But firstly, the garden is unsafe, as the mastermind may return at any time; secondly, the disease pollution is extremely difficult to control, which feels extremely dangerous and easy to get into trouble; thirdly, once the server is installed, this garden will become his biggest weakness and his base.

Instead of harvesting the garden with all his might, he would have to risk everything to protect it. How unwise! He had to give up this idea.

Therefore, even if you want to decompress the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture], you have to choose a hidden and safe place.

Seeing Yuan Zhu was silent but his brain was working at a high frequency, the elf couldn't help but feel palpitations: "Boss, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm wondering if this [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture. Main Server] can be used to lend [against the law]. How can a Tiger Demon lending out his minions be considered an anti-law demon? Only someone who uses [Immortal Scripture. Server] to lend [Client. Spiritual Root] is a true demon!"

Elf: "......(ΩДΩ)?!!"

Boss, you're so crazy! I'm panicking. Calm down! Has the 'Contaminated Ashes' messed with your brain? Can I take on the role of [Xian Jing Xiao Deng]?
