Cultivating Immortality Starts with Rubbing a Computer

Chapter 187 Turing Test (asking for monthly ticket)

The bottom of the Grand Canyon.

After the Xuanming Palace was opened, the foundation-building masters on the top floor left one by one.

Only a few foundation-building cultivators from the sixteen sects remained here.

Some of these foundation-building people chat with each other, some are hostile to each other, and some meditate and practice.

There are many different behaviors.

Used to pass the time after the Xuanming Palace is opened.

"call--!"

A cold wind blew past, causing the rock wall to vibrate.

At the same time, a figure appeared in front of the passage of Xuanming Palace.

"Fortunately, I was smart enough to intercept someone in the outside world and obtain the Mysterious Nether Jade."

Fang Jun held the Xuanming Jade that emitted a faint blue light, but the foundation-building cultivators guarding around him all turned a blind eye to it.

He didn't stay too long.

Go straight through the passage.

It’s different from the previous time when I entered the secret realm.

With Fang Jun's current strength, he observed that some changes had occurred in the power of space.

"It has indeed grown."

"Use the repulsive force generated by the power of space to expand the space inside."

"Using gravity to bend space-time is the principle behind the formation of the secret realm."

"It's like an expanding balloon being held captive by gravity."

"The only thing that puzzles me is that this little bit of gravity doesn't seem to be enough to cause such a huge distortion of space-time."

There is no gravity at the level of a black hole.

The curvature of space-time is actually limited.

It is impossible to achieve the level of a mustard seed containing the Sumeru Mountain, but the gravity at the level of a black hole is extremely dangerous.

A speed that even the speed of light cannot escape.

If a cultivator falls into this, there is only one thing that will happen: death.

However, Fang Jun clearly observed the changes in the curvature of space and time around the secret realm.

Measuring this is also simple.

Just shoot out a ray of light and see if the trajectory of the light is bent.

"Perhaps gravity isn't really a force, but rather a change in spacetime and entropy. It's an effect of the material world we inhabit."

"And the reason why there's no such effect now is because the effect is being counteracted by something."

"It's like running your hand through the water and changing the current. But now there's something counteracting that change."

"Or it's not a cancellation, but the hand simply doesn't slide that strongly in the water."

"The meaning it represents..."

Fang Jun thought of a possibility.

The changes in space and time must be strong enough to demonstrate strong gravity.

And now sufficiently powerful space-time changes have occurred.

So where did the strong gravity go?

From an energy perspective.

Fang Jun didn't believe that the Golden Elixir or Nascent Soul could control energy comparable to the black hole in the Milky Way.

If you want to use tiny energy to create sufficiently strong changes in space and time.

Or it is the effect of amplifying energy.

Either the requirements of time and space changes do not require such powerful energy now.

"That is to say, there is some kind of Dao pattern, or law, that acts like a catalyst in chemistry, reducing the energy required for the entire transformation process."

"And because energy is conserved, if only a small amount of energy is exerted, then strong gravity cannot occur."

"Where is this law, then?"

Needless to say.

According to the naming method of the world of immortal cultivation, this law must be called the law of space.

“Is it below the atomic scale again?”

"Yes, it is only at the atomic scale that those who build foundations are helpless."

Thinking of this, Fang Jun felt very depressed.

It's like knowing that a room is full of gold.

But you just don't have the key to this room.

Physics in previous lives was actually also troubled by this aspect.

Below the atomic scale, ordinary optical instruments are no longer able to measure it.

More advanced observation equipment must be used.

However, this observation device has a flaw, which is that its observation efficiency is too low.

Take the scanning tunneling microscope as an example.

The big one took up a whole room.

But the area it can observe is at the nanoscale.

How many nanoscale things are there in this entire room?

Too many to count.

Even if Fang Jun could use the methods of the immortal world to create more sophisticated observation equipment.

However, the secret realm is also countless times larger than the room.

I want to explore the laws of space by observing tiny areas and slowly combining them.

I don’t know how many years of effort it will take.

And make no mistake, this thing is dynamic.

In other words, observing it once is of no use.

If you don't record the entire dynamic change at once.

Very little of the data is available.

It's like a movie. If you only capture a few frames, how can it be considered a complete movie?
The movie plot you inferred based on these pictures is 100% wrong.

Unless it's Mo Yi Yi!
Only Mo Yiyi could complete the movie through a few pictures.

But the prerequisite is that Fang Jun must first be able to capture this picture.

"too difficult."

"This is simply too difficult. I don't believe other foundation-building practitioners take this step."

"If we continue like this, it will be basically impossible to build a foundation and achieve the Golden Core stage."

"There must be a shortcut to take this step."

"Great magical power?"

"I hope that with Mo Yiyi and Bai Xiaoxin's luck, they can gain something."

Fang Jun was thinking and had already walked through this blue passage.

Came to a white space.

……

Inside the Xuanming Palace.

Mo Yiyi walked alone on the grassland.

Here, the sky and the earth seem to be stretched into a straight line, and the green grass sways in the wind like a green ocean.

"What a disgusting mechanism, it actually separates people who are traveling together. This Jindan who left Xuanming Palace is definitely not a good person."

Mo Yiyi had already known about this change during her previous communication with Master Qixia.

When you truly experience it.

Still feel bad.

Secret separation has always been a sinister practice.

Although it seems fair, it gives those who cannot form a team a fair chance to compete.

Don't let organized people monopolize all opportunities.

But isn’t this also a kind of alternative Colosseum?
Let these foundation builders separate.

Because of the relationship between trust and hatred.

There will definitely be a fight.

Finally, a beast king emerged.

Or maybe a few beast kings can resolve this dispute.

As early as in the battle for the Xuanming Jade, Mo Yiyi realized the evil taste of this golden elixir.

Otherwise, if we really want peace.

There are many ways.

Just specify that the Xuanming Jade cannot be traded and bind it after picking it up.

Of course, Mo Yiyi was not too panicked.

She still believed in her luck.

With her luck, she can definitely ensure that she and Bai Xiaoxin will not be separated for too long.

And the master can't be far away.

"I can't let Master worry too much. I have to act quickly."

Mo Yiyi took off into the air and randomly chose a direction to fly based on her intuition.

However, it didn't go far.

She saw a figure wearing a green shirt and had an ordinary appearance.

It made Mo Yiyi feel extremely familiar.

……

"Crash-!"

Bai Xiaoxin, who fell into the water, rose into the air and looked at the endless ocean, suddenly feeling confused.

"I think I came to the Xuanming Palace?"

“Why is it really an ocean?”

"Furthermore, the records Qixia sent me clearly state—"

"nothing."

Bai Xiaoxin shook her head and quickly put this doubt behind her.

The Lunar also flashed red at first.

But Bai Xiaoxin ignored it.

And it soon calmed down.

She used her divine eyes to discern a direction with great blessings and few disasters.

Fly straight towards there.

Then she soon encountered a familiar figure, or a familiar dark thing.

……

In the vast white space, Fang Jun was speechless.

Because there is nothing here, only a vast expanse of white.

No matter how he moved forward, there was only a vast expanse of white.

"I remember the first level is the inner demon level. It is the first test that Xuanming Palace puts on those who enter the palace."

"To put it bluntly, the Xuanming Palace provides those who have established their foundation with the opportunity to advance to the Golden Core stage."

"And if you can't even overcome your own inner demons, then you definitely won't be able to overcome the inner demon tribulation of the Golden Core Stage."

“It’s not surprising to use this to brush people off.”

"But the question is, what about my inner demon? Is my inner demon this vast expanse of white space?"

"Do you want to imprison me again like last time?"

"Do you really think I'm still the same person as before?"

In this demonic space, Fang Jun did not lose his past strength like last time.

So Fang Jun was not in a hurry at all.

Keep doing thought experiments and occasionally put them into practice.

Even if we wait until the end of time, it’s no problem.

"Wait, could it be that I, despite my power, am good at suppressing my consciousness? I wonder what kind of demons this place has conjured up?"

"If that's the case, then why are you trapping me?"

"Open it for me quickly!"

Fang Jun used his spiritual sense to shoot out the last sentence.

Then, the vast white space was really broken.

A towering palace was revealed. It was black in color with a blue light inside, like a giant beast lurking in the night, silent and majestic.

The palace is very big.

But Fang Jun’s current field of vision seems to have no end in sight.

Moreover, this place seems to restrict the development of spiritual consciousness.

Even Fang Jun couldn't take in the whole picture.

"This is the Xuanming Palace, the temporary palace established by Xuanming Zhenren. It actually obeys my words, which proves that the spirit of the instrument here still exists."

“Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—!”

A phantom suddenly appeared in front of Fang Jun. It was a dark blue humanoid creature, surrounded by pitch-black ripples. "Why don't you have an inner demon?"

"Master said that there is no one in the world who doesn't have inner demons."

Fang Jun said calmly, "When asking someone to answer your question, should you introduce yourself first?"

The humanoid creature said, "You should have guessed my identity."

Fang Jun said: "I guessed it, but that doesn't mean I don't need your certification."

The humanoid creature was silent for a moment. "You're such a strange person. Others try their best to curry favor with me when they see me."

"Even if I don't flatter you, I will still be respectful."

"You're the only one who asked me to introduce myself."

Fang Jun said, "They know how powerful you are, and they're afraid of you. I also know how powerful you are, so I'm not afraid." The humanoid creature said, "So you're very strong?"

Fang Jun asked curiously, "Can't you see?"

The humanoid creature said, "It can be seen that you are only at the second level of foundation building."

Fang Jun asked, "Besides that?"

The humanoid creature said, "What else is there besides this?"

Fang Jun sighed, "You are not as good as Mr. Huang."

The humanoid creature asked, "Who is Mr. Huang?"

Fang Jun said: "It's just a remnant soul of a golden elixir."

The humanoid creature said, "The difference between the first and ninth stages of the Golden Core is like the difference between heaven and earth. What's more, I am only a quasi-third-level treasure with some of the characteristics of the Golden Core."

"It's not a real golden elixir."

"By the way, you haven't told me why you don't have any inner demons?"

Fang Jun said, "Isn't it obvious? Your strength is too weak to bring out my inner demon."

The humanoid creature was silent for a moment: "Are you Daozi?"

"Can I not answer you?"

"can."

"Then I choose not to answer."

"But I'm curious?"

"Do you really have a complete sense of self? Do you feel curious?"

"Isn't this normal?"

"It's indeed normal, but I've never seen it before. Let me ask you what 1+1 equals."

"Why should I answer your question?"

"You're still asking questions? It's really similar to life. How about this? Let's make a deal?"

"What deal?"

"If you can answer some of the questions I ask, I'll tell you why I have no demons."

"Don't go too far. I won't answer questions that go too far."

"You've even learned how to bargain? Very good, very good. I won't ask you too many questions. If you feel the question is inappropriate, you can refuse to answer it."

"it is good."

……

Just when Fang Jun was chatting with the spirit of the Xuanming Palace.

Mo Yiyi saw the familiar figure.

"Yiyi, you are finally here."

Fang Jun said to Mo Yiyi.

Mo Yiyi said calmly, "Get out of here now, stop pretending to be my master."

Fang Jun asked in confusion: "Yiyi, what are you talking about? I am your master, why don't you consider me your master anymore?"

"Oh, Master, I understand. It's because I didn't understand your feelings that made you angry. That's why you don't think of me."

Mo Yiyi's face showed a disgusted expression: "Do you know that you are disgusting? Don't talk to my master in front of his face."

After saying that, Mo Yiyi took action.

The power of the Great Origin Technique surged from her body.

It seems to be because of anger.

The energy pulled out this time was even greater, reaching a level five times greater than what Fang Jun had designed.

"boom--!"

With the magic power sweeping over, Fang Jun was naturally safe and sound.

He said regretfully, "Yiyi, you disappoint me so much. You can't even recognize me."

"Don't you want to marry your teacher?"

Mo Yiyi's face showed even more disgust when she heard this, and the power of the Great Origin Technique became even stronger.

It directly broke through the limit and reached ten times what Fang Jun had never imagined.

This time Fang Jun could no longer resist.

The whole person turned into green smoke and disappeared.

"If it's fake, it's fake. Don't disgust me."

And at this moment, the lush grassland also disappeared.

What appeared before Mo Yiyi was the Xuanming Palace that Fang Jun had seen.

Of course, the Xuanming Palace is very big.

There are countless portals in all directions.

Mo Yiyi, Bai Xiaoxin and Fang Jun are separated.

"Oh, it's the Heart Demon Formation." Mo Yiyi suddenly realized, "That's what I was saying, I feel like I forgot something."

"But this Heart Demon Formation can actually break through my Zhengli Wuying's defense."

“There is indeed a trick.”

"No, I have to record this flaw and ask Master to correct it for me."

"I don't want to go through this disgusting experience again."

Mo Yiyi carefully searched the Yuanying No. and saw the currently recorded data.

Heartbroken.

Just add some content based on your own feelings.

He nodded with satisfaction only after it looked like it was working properly.

"This will make it easier for Master to perfect the Standing Shadowless Technique."

……

"Xiao Xin, you are finally here."

Bai Xiaoxin looked at the dark object that was more than two meters tall and silently used the Taiyin to send a series of data.

"Xiao Xin, why are you ignoring me?"

"Did I do something to offend you?"

"Why are you so cold?"

The dark figure asked in confusion, and took the initiative to move forward, wanting to touch Bai Xiaoxin.

"Qiang——!"

The dark figure was greeted by the light of the Grey Spirit Leaf.

"Bai Xiaoxin! I accepted you as my disciple and taught you the highest martial arts, yet you are so treasonous as to want to kill me!"

Bai Xiaoxin sent a series of messages again.

"What are you talking about! Bai Xiaoxin! Can you speak human language?"

"Qiang——!"

Bai Xiaoxin attacked even more ruthlessly, and soon the dark figure was killed by Bai Xiaoxin.

In front of Bai Xiaoxin's eyes, a palace with clear black and white like ink painting appeared.

"Stupid inner demon, he doesn't even understand what a boss is."

"Huh? Why is my inner demon the boss?"

Bai Xiaoxin analyzed it carefully, and with the help of the Taiyin, she continued to calculate, and finally gained some understanding.

"It turns out I was afraid my boss would abandon me and send me back to my old ways."

"But, theoretically, there's absolutely no way the boss would abandon me."

"If we don't talk about feelings and only talk about interests, there is no way you will abandon me."

Bai Xiaoxin was so sure that she turned her attention to the Xuanming Palace.

"Boss, your guess is correct. Things at the Jindan level look completely different to me."

"It's pretty close to what I saw in my boss's vision."

"What's the difference?"

"Is it that the differences in the Betti numbers in the base space show periodic oscillations? These oscillations are suppressed by a non-trivial Chern class, and then..."

"Let's not analyze it for now."

"I have to go find my senior sister. Although she is lucky, she always feels a little unreliable."

"The first few times were just reckless as hell."

"If I hadn't been lucky, an accident would have happened long ago."

Bai Xiaoxin did not fly towards the surrounding area of ​​the palace, but flew towards the palace gate.

Because according to the records of Qixia Sect, due to the existence of spatial force.

No matter how you fly, you can't leave.

The only correct way is to go through the palace gate.

……

"Can you create a painting for me?"

"can."

“What kind of emotions does this painting convey?”

"Lonely."

“Do you feel lonely?”

"Sometimes I feel that when I stay in this secret place, I often fall into a deep sleep to relieve my loneliness. I will not wake up again until the secret place is opened."

"Awakening again? To complete your mission?"

"Not only that, but also my interests and hobbies."

"Oh, what are your interests and hobbies?"

"Observing you, who have been building your foundation for a hundred years, entering and leaving the Xuanming Palace is my hobby and interest."

"Will you try to communicate with Zhuji besides me?"

"Yes, if I meet someone who is interested in foundation building, I will communicate with them."

"Have these communicators achieved a breakthrough to the Golden Core stage?"

"There was only one. She came back to see me after she broke through."

"And then something happened."

"Nothing happened, just helping me fix it up."

"What is that golden elixir called? How do I repair it?"

The Xuanming Palace has been answering Fang Jun's questions. It always feels that Fang Jun's questions seem to have meaning, but also seem to be meaningless.

It does not respond to certain confidential information.

Fang Jun didn't care either.

Just skip and ask the next question.

The general feeling is that two people are chatting out of boredom.

Chat about everything from all over the world.

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Why are you asking me so many questions?"

“Do these questions have any meaning?”

Fang Jun smiled and said, "Of course it makes sense. I want to see if you are a human being."

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace wondered, "I'm not a human. I'm just a spirit."

Fang Jun smiled and didn't answer.

In fact, what he just did in his previous life was called the Turing test.

It is a test to see whether a machine is intelligent.

Although Fang Jun's method is somewhat unscientific, he did not find a neutral person who did not know in advance whether the person was a human or a machine to make the judgment.

But Fang Jun was confident in the conversation he had with the spirit of the weapon.

The feelings, emotions, and creativity involved.

It is undoubtedly very real.

He has even surpassed many people in creative ability.

Because when Fang Jun saw the painting created by the spirit of the weapon, he indeed felt a deep sense of loneliness from it.

The fact that he can convey his loneliness in an easy and resonant way proves that he is already a master in painting.

That is to say, it is the spirit of the Xuanming Palace in front of us.

Not just having intelligence.

It is still strong artificial intelligence, which is even better than the confused Blood Sea Will.

Fang Jun, who had anticipated this, was still amazed by the test results.

You know, he has already started constructing AI algorithms.

However, it is still impossible to construct a strong artificial intelligence that can understand human emotions and have human-level creativity.

"Wait, I've lost my way a bit."

"The monks didn't create an AI; they directly created a life form from self-awareness."

"My view of this spirit from the perspective of an algorithm is somewhat biased."

“But it’s still amazing.”

"This is a life, a living life."

The Xuanming Palace spirit, not understanding Fang Jun's thoughts, said, "Well, are you going to tell me why you don't have a demonic tribulation anymore?"

Fang Jun laughed and said, "I've been told I'm strong enough, but you still don't believe me."

Fang Jun thought about it and finally showed his magic power.

Since I have been exposed to certain gazes.

Well, he wanted to take a look.

How is the stance and cognition of the spirit of the Xuanming Palace different from that of Mr. Huang's golden elixir?

The spirit of the Xuanming Palace witnessed Fang Jun's powerful magic power, and two big eyes suddenly appeared on its originally dark blue face without facial features.

Two big, round eyes that were wide open.

"This is actually the way of the birth and death balance of the five elements!"
