In this world, Spiritual Energy, also known as "the exponent of energy," is a variable. Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, this isn't a big deal. But for those Seeking Dao, it's a different story. This additional physical quantity means they face a world far more complex than their Earth counterparts. Take special relativity, for instance. Albert Einstein only needed to discuss the changes in Newtonian classical mechanics at high speeds, while Shenzhou's Taiyi Heavenly Venerable also had to consider systematics, entropy changes, and a series of other issues. Due to the fluidity of Spiritual Energy and its uneven distribution, for Shenzhou Cultivators, conditions where the "Spiritual Energy Value is constantly one" were akin to the ideal experimental environment of "absolutely smooth ground" on Earth. The physical formulas on Earth are special solutions derived under the ideal conditions of a Spiritual Energy Value of one. Wang Qi only needed to perform simple experimental verifications to apply them directly. Conversely, Wang Qi absolutely dared not use theories that had not been experimentally verified. Having cultivated Heavenly Song, Wang Qi could intuitively "see" electromagnetic forces. Moreover, spells that manipulated electromagnetic forces allowed him to complete some experiments in ways Earth scientists couldn't even imagine, all by himself. Just yesterday, after constructing a new Mana Field using the gauge field equations and harnessing its various ingenious uses, he confirmed that Yang-Mills gauge theory and its method of unifying the three fundamental forces, excluding gravity, were feasible. This was already a result that surpassed the existing theories of the Immortal Alliance. But... It still wasn't enough. This set of theories based on Quantum Field Theory even fundamentally contradicted the general relativity that revealed the essence of gravity. Gravity seemed to not fit into this system at all. Admittedly, the level of theory was more than enough for Foundation Establishment. But Wang Qi sought perfection and didn't want any flaws in his Magic Foundation. "As for the second solution, it too has its imperfections," Wang Qi tapped the table with his fingers and said, "Mathematics is not flawless either." Mathematics isn't a perfect existence. In the history of mathematics, problems that shook the foundation of mathematics have occurred repeatedly, forming multiple "mathematical crises." And, as far as Wang Qi knew, the Shenzhou Immortal Path might already have encountered the third mathematical crisis. Within the existing Cultivation Techniques of the Wanfa Sect, many might need to be rewritten! "Once the Magic Foundation is established, it can only be polished and adjusted, not changed. Building it on pure mathematics is too risky, not prudent." As for solution three, based on the Heavenly Calculation Atlas and integrating other mental methods, it was indeed a good approach. Compared to other solutions, this one allowed Wang Qi to retain most of the original characteristics of his various Cultivation Techniques. But this technique had its own flaws, too. After being assimilated by the Heavenly Calculation Atlas, Wang Qi's original Cultivation Techniques and their resulting Divine Skills would transform into something akin to Innate Divine Abilities, which were somewhat difficult to cultivate, and learning new spells in the future would change into awakening new talents. This characteristic of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas meant that spells of Tianling Ridge were very limited in diversity, though they were extremely varied in application. But Wang Qi preferred to construct spells with theory. This characteristic of the Heavenly Calculation Atlas would severely limit him. As the saying goes, different paths do not lead to shared planning. Magic Master is the true heir! Magic Master is the royal road! Who would be a Bloodline Mage when one could be a Magic Master? As for the final option, Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy... "The Schrodinger Wave Function is indeed a very classic formula, and its prerequisite Skill Tree is Hilbert Space, which matches well with the Wanfa Sect's mental methods. But... I have no idea how to use this technique!" In theory, Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy could collapse into any kind of Mana, but that was something only Golden Core Cultivators could achieve. Wang Qi was simply incapable of controlling this bizarre technique that involved the Observer Effect! Even the recent change to the material state of a table was a random alteration, not precise control. Just for this reason alone, Wang Qi wouldn't choose it. Zhen Chan surely had his hands full—although he no longer had a head, "You kid, haven't you thought of something more reliable?" "I just thought of establishing a Foundation this morning, okay!" Wang Qi said helplessly, "It's just an idea now. Discussing it with you is also about organizing my thoughts." Zhen Chan choked for a moment, then sighed, "Alright, alright, at least you've made some progress, kid. You're not recklessly inviting disaster just because you're tough." Wang Qi tapped his forehead and said, "After talking so much, do you have any suggestions?" "Considering your current goals, the Yao Ding Calculating Scripture and the Book of Geometry still need to be cultivated, right?" Wang Qi affirmed, "That's right. Computational power is key. No matter which Cultivation Technique I base my Magic Foundation on, I can't abandon these two. Once the Magic Foundation is formed, I plan to cultivate the Heavenly Position Technique." Zhen Chan worthily said, "I can only advise you to continue cultivating these two... Anyway, there are three to five years, so take it one step at a time..." "The final conclusion is still to follow the original pace?" Wang Qi frowned, "But at least now we need to set a direction." Three to five years wasn't a lot of time. Wang Qi had too many unprecedented achievements on him, and just cultivating the Elephant Phase Wave Skill and Wave Ripples Mysterious Energy from the Qi Cultivation chapter was enough to make him look down on his peers. But this also made it very difficult for him to find a Magic Foundation that perfectly fit him. After meditating deeply for a while, Wang Qi temporarily gave up the idea of designing a Magic Foundation, "This can't be rushed for the time being... But I need to determine what to do first." "First is that Wanfa Sect Cultivation Technique," Zhen Chan reminded. "That goes without saying. I've already decided to practice the Art of Calculation. The rest is about choosing the problems to solve these days." "The Great Discrete Coincidence, Fiery Sun Wave Qi, Heavenly Light Materialization Technique—though I hardly use these three mental methods, they can indeed be combined with the Heavenly Song, so the mathematical problems involved in the Light Quanta Hypothesis and the De Broglie Hypothesis need to be thoroughly researched. "The Heavenly Song is also key. It directly relates to the essence of electromagnetic force and can naturally form a Quantum Field Theory... gauge field equations when combined with the Great Discrete Coincidence. The mathematical tools used by Yang Zhenning in his day, the Abelian Group, abstract algebra, cannot be overlooked. ... For every Cultivation Technique he considered, Wang Qi would add a problem to the draft paper. "And now, thanks to two Sword Techniques, I have already dabbled in the Martial Arts deriving from Determinants, Trigonometric Functions, and Calculus. From here to other problems, I will need..." "Because I've already studied these topics in my past life, it's just about applying them now! It won't be too difficult!" After writing a list full of mathematical problems, Wang Qi pulled out a book directly from the table: "Due to ten years without review, my level in mathematics has deteriorated a lot. I can't wait. I must start solving problems now!"
