The Secret of Immortal Qi

At this point, Yi Xuan was no longer able to see the enormous energy reaction that had just occurred in the experimental chamber through the energy detection equipment.

Furthermore, several detection devices were switched, but none could detect even a trace of that enormous energy product.

But Yi Xuan was not disappointed, because this proved that his guess was correct.

The robot inside the cabin then took out an inconspicuous piece of equipment from a corner.

This device looks completely out of style with the rest of the equipment in the experimental chamber; it's clearly not a recent product.

That's right, this was actually something Yi Xuan made on the side after completing the quantum communication satellite.

However, because it has never had a use, it has remained idle.

Yi Xuan only remembered this thing when the space station was about to launch.

Realizing that this thing would probably never be needed in the Cultivation Realm, he packed it up and put it into the space station.

The robot quickly pressed the power button on the device, pointing the camera-like device at the spot where the Demon Scorpion Soldier had just disappeared.

Surprisingly, while so many advanced devices failed to produce any response, the image from this unassuming device changed instantly.

As can be seen on its screen, the experimental chamber is not entirely empty.

The screen was filled with countless black dots, but the intense light inside the experimental chamber had no effect on them.

Seeing this, Yi Xuan nodded and said, "It seems I was right! What do you think, No. 01?"

"Yes, boss, the huge energy reaction earlier must have been caused by these black specks of light! It's Dark Matter!"

Dark Matter is an invisible substance that exists in the universe. It is also a major component of the universe's matter, but it does not belong to any known substance that makes up visible celestial bodies.

Simply put, Dark Matter can be defined using the theory of Yin and Yang, while all macroscopic and microscopic matter that we can see or observe is luminous matter.

In contrast, there is Dark Matter, which is matter that does not interact with electromagnetic forces; that is, it does not absorb, reflect, or emit light.

Scientists in the previous life had already proposed the existence of Dark Matter and even launched satellites to explore Dark Matter.

When Yi Xuan was designing the quantum communication satellite, he had already thought of this aspect, so he casually built a Dark Matter observation device on the side, just to give it a try.

Of course, it was the most rudimentary kind; it couldn't do anything except observe.

And after the satellite launch was completed, Yi Xuan, immersed in joy, quickly forgot about the matter.

Until now, we had exhausted all means to observe this substance that produces enormous energy in the laboratory.

Yi Xuan then considered the possibility of Dark Matter.

Now everything is clear: the so-called "Immortal Qi" in this world is actually Dark Matter.

Immortals are a group of advanced life forms capable of using Dark Matter.

Why didn't the Dark Matter observed in the previous life exhibit the same massive energy reaction as before?

Yi Xuan guessed it was because of Spiritual Qi.

In the previous world, there was no Spiritual Qi, so although scientists discovered Dark Matter, there was no catalyst like Spiritual Qi to trigger its reaction.

Yi Xuan was somewhat disappointed, however, Book of Technology did indeed contain endless scientific and technological knowledge.

However, it is not a popular science book, and it does not contain any understanding of matter.

Just like the properties of various materials and elements in Database No. 01.

Actually, it didn't come from Book of Technology, but from Yi Xuan's memories. Furthermore, Yi Xuan determined the properties of many materials that only existed in the Cultivation Realm through testing.

Therefore, Yi Xuan must rely on his own efforts to understand Dark Matter, and even with the technological support of the Book of Technology, this process will not be smooth sailing.

Fortunately, compared to his previous life, Yi Xuan has Spiritual Qi as a catalyst, which can serve as a starting point for understanding Dark Matter.

But then Yi Xuan thought of another question: if Dark Matter, which is Immortal Qi, has such a terrifying ability to devour Spiritual Qi.

But why didn't that Immortal Qi continue to corrode the Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation Realm after that expert who had undergone Tribulation Transcendence was completely corrupted by Immortal Qi?

Logically speaking, a wisp of immortal Immortal Qi could completely devour all the Spiritual Qi in the entire Cultivation Realm world.

After this question was raised, No. 01 offered its speculation before Yi Xuan could figure it out.

"Boss, I think even if Immortal Qi is of a higher level than Spiritual Qi, it should still have a certain upper limit! Perhaps the Spiritual Qi in the entire body of that Tribulation Transcendence expert is the upper limit of that wisp of Immortal Qi!"

This explanation is reasonable.

Yi Xuan also began to unleash his imagination.

He speculated that the reason why Dark Matter did not exist in either the Cultivation Realm or the Earth of his previous life was because of the atmosphere.

The atmosphere keeps Dark Matter out of the planet.

Countless legends have been passed down from ancient times on Earth, which may well have been the origins of a civilization that cultivated spiritual practices.

However, due to the subsequent damage to the atmosphere, a large amount of Dark Matter entered and devoured the Earth's Spiritual Qi, which led to the disappearance of modern Earth's cultivation civilization.

The powerful cultivator who Tribulation Transcendence back then also allowed Dark Matter to enter the Cultivation Realm through his body by extending his hand beyond the atmosphere. In the end, dark matter absorbed all of his spiritual Spiritual Qi and exhausted his own energy.

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He discovered that destroying the cultivation system of this world was far too easy; all he needed to do was disrupt the world's atmosphere or continuously introduce Dark Matter, which would push this world's brilliant cultivation civilization into the abyss.

Fortunately, Yi Xuan isn't the kind of person who's extremely pessimistic; otherwise, she definitely would have acted on her impulse.

Since I'm already Rootless Person anyway, and I can't cultivate on my own, why don't we all cultivate together!

After calming down, Yi Xuan shook his head repeatedly, trying to dispel the terrifying thought from his mind.

Therefore, research on Dark Matter must be prioritized.

However, due to the properties of Dark Matter and its sensitivity to Spiritual Qi.

Yi Xuan did not plan to start immediately, after all, Dark Matter posed a far greater threat to the Cultivation Realm than nuclear bombs, and a perfect experimental site was still necessary.

After much deliberation, Yi Xuan finally decided to conduct research on Dark Matter at the still-unfinished underwater base.

Therefore, Yi Xuan could only begin his research on Dark Matter, or Immortal Qi, after the underwater base was completed.

Furthermore, while conducting research, Yi Xuan was also able to better gather information about Junior Sister Mu, which could be considered killing two birds with one stone.

So, after arranging the work at No. 2 Base, Yi Xuan sent Liang Shi a message about leaving and then boarded the Firmament to head to the Eternal Sea once again.
