"Ah, so it really came down to this step..."
Several days later, Wang Qi tossed aside his paper and brush, looking slightly vexed.
The dual cultivation method of virtuality and reality still had not fully matured.
At the very least, Wang Qi had absolutely no clue about that "final step."
To take that final step—"longevity"—one at least had to achieve My Dharma is One. Otherwise, an ordinary person simply could not control a life-form that had completely become an open system, eternally decreasing in entropy.
Yet the Dimension Cultivation Technique was slightly stuck at this step.
Wang Qi himself had achieved My Dharma is One through a fortunate coincidence with Mi's help. The early Datafied Cultivation Method aided cultivation in this respect, but Chen Youjia and Su Junyu had already proven that ordinary people could at most reach "dividing the spirit into thoughts" at this stage.
If Mi had not kindly helped him back then, and if Wang Qi's own mind had not been somewhat different from ordinary people's, he truly would not have been able to attain My Dharma is One.
At its root, this was still the difference between the human brain and a calculator—a purely logical tool.
In computer science, some problems might surpass the comprehension or conventional thinking of ordinary people. Image processing, for example. On Earth, the earliest computer experts had treated "image processing" as some insignificant little project and casually tossed it to their graduate students.
But in reality, it was one of the most terrifying problems in computer science. Even into the twenty-first century, whoever could get one step ahead in this field might become the leader of the industry.
When the human brain processed visual information, nearly half of the brain participated.
Of course, this did not mean that half the human
