Necropolis Immortal

supplemental dao, immortal dao, or the cultivation daos of the third and fourth realms.
It can derive them all.

“Formula… form… hang on a freaking second.
Aren’t we talking about math on Earth here?” Lu Yun’s jaw dropped.

Mathematics was the foundation of science on Earth, whether it was physics, chemistry, astronomy, construction, computers… Everything required the calculations of math.
This was very similar to formula dao.
While it didn’t tangibly manifest in the various great daos, many theories and assessments stemmed from a beginning in formula dao.

Lu Yun and Qing Yu had extracted formula dao from the combat arts of immortal dao, then perfected it with the Tome of Life and Death for it to become a true great dao.

“The current iteration of formula dao is not fully complete.
If it really is the math of cultivation, then there must be some actual, well, formulas within it that can derive everything!”

When Lu Yun and Qing Yu first used formula dao, they’d used it to dissect, theorize, reassemble, and perfect combat arts and cultivation methods.
There was a definable pattern to any combat art or cultivation method, and theoretically speaking, a formula should be able to capture that pattern.

If they could systemize combat arts, then the intangible formula dao would become something tangible and thus be disseminated throughout the fourth realm.

It was mainstream knowledge in the world of immortals and had become the basics of cultivating immortal dao.
Thus, development of this iteration of immortal dao had exceeded any other era it’d existed in.

Denizens of the world of immortals could swiftly grasp formula dao because it came from immortal dao, so learning was easier for them.
It wasn’t as straightforward for those of the chaos, Hongmeng, and fourth realm.

But now, inspiration struck Lu Yun.
If he could define this intangible formula dao as a system, then even those who didn’t understand or practice it could use formula dao.

“That’s right, that’s right, this is the right path! This isn’t my stroke of brilliance, but the heights that formula dao has reached in the world of immortals.
Someone’s already started doing this, and since Little Yu and I are the inventors of formula dao, this is feedback from developmental trends on the world of immortals.

“Damn I’m dumb, why didn’t I think of this earlier? I’m an embarrassment to all Earthlings!” Lu Yun grinned.

When he and Qing Yu utilized formula dao, they simulated the cycle of great dao in their minds.
But if formula dao was defined as a system, then manual calculations were possible.
The notion of “system” was just Lu Yun’s framework.
More accurately speaking, it was the simulation of pattern.

“Just me alone isn’t enough to make formula dao tangible and shape it as a physical great dao.
Little Yu, the little fox, and I aren’t enough either.
We need more collective wisdom.”

The joint wisdom of the world of immortals had induced the first metamorphosis in formula dao.
The second step was up to the fourth realm.

“The Alchemist, Formation, Treasure, and Talisman Sovereigns… These people are wise sages in the Star Sect.” A smile floated onto Lu Yun’s face when he thought of the Alchemist Sovereign that he’d met.

Supplemental cultivators were viewed as the symbols of wisdom.
The sovereigns had reached peak level in their fields.
If they were introduced to formula dao, that would certainly deepen their understanding.

“I might be able to grasp that trace of the pattern if I use formula dao to analyze the Domain of First Snowfall, then calculate the other two domains.
I might even be able to theorize the domains that are to come.” Lu Yun headed out of his abode when his thoughts traveled here and headed for Mount Buzhou.

“Where are you going, junior brother Feifan?” A threatening voice sounded in Lu Yun’s ears as he flew to Mount Buzhou.

He’d been considering formula dao as he traveled, so his speed wasn’t very fast.
Lu Yun shuddered when he heard the voice and quickly stopped.

“Senior sister Xing Lan, you can’t do anything to me now or the gossip tomorrow will say that you’re madly in love with Xing Lingkong.
They’ll interpret this as you beating me up in revenge for senior brother Lingkong and that you love him more!”

Lu Yun had wrapped his mind around the Star Sect gossip style.
Rumors faded away after a few days if nothing else happened, but they grew even worse if anything further developed.

Xing Lan glared viciously at Lu Yun and reluctantly put her hand down.
