Data-Driven Cultivation: I Defy Heaven and Overthrow Interstellar Domestication

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The exploration activities in the abandoned mine shafts behind the mountain have not stopped for the past two days.

With continuous monitoring from the terminal, Meng Hanjiang and his two colleagues worked day and night, traversing all the forks in the mine tunnels and shallow rock layers, repeatedly searching and investigating, almost turning over the entire surface area of ​​the abandoned mine shaft.

Traces of rubble being stirred up were visible everywhere in the mine tunnel, and the old rock walls were covered with newly chiseled marks. There were even several places where rotten supporting timbers had been replaced, indicating that Zhou Yuanshan had secretly increased manpower and intensified the search efforts.

However, their goal was flawed; they were only focused on exploring the surface mine tunnels and never touched the deep, hidden rock layers. Naturally, they could not find the federal data module that Xie Yanchen had taken ahead of time.

But Xie Yanchen knew that he didn't have much time left.

Zhou Yuanshan is deeply obsessed and meticulous. Once he discovers that there are no traces in the shallow layers of the entire mine, he will inevitably shift his focus of investigation to the deeper rock layers. At that time, the secret passages, the spirit-gathering devices, and all the hidden layouts will be exposed.

In the stillness of the night, the stone house was closed off and undisturbed.

With the terminal's computing power fully utilized, and after two days and two nights of continuous cracking, the Federation Data Board's double-layer high-level encryption was finally completely broken.

Encryption cracked! Massive amounts of experimental data unlocked; now we're ready to categorize, extract, translate in real-time, and archive!

The next second, a huge holographic screen unfolded in Xie Yanchen's consciousness, with densely packed federal text, experimental logs, observation data, and star map coordinates spreading out layer by layer, revealing countless top-secret truths that had been sealed for thousands of years.

The first type of core data—the XL-947 experimental satellite initialization log.

Ten thousand years ago, the Interstellar Federation's Dimensional Observation Bureau selected this desolate planet and initiated a project to conduct experiments inducing spiritual energy particles.

The Federation has deployed a massive global energy network to artificially modify planetary environments and directionally induce special particles to be converted into controllable energy.

This artificially created, controllable particle energy is the spiritual energy upon which billions of cultivators in this cultivation world rely for their practice.

Subsequently, the federal government deployed a large number of human experimental samples to observe the entire process of absorption, evolution, breakthrough, and reproduction of the samples in the artificial energy field.

The so-called cultivators, spiritual roots, and immortal paths of cultivation are all experimental samples carefully cultivated and monitored by the Federation from beginning to end.

The second type of data is the monk observation sample archive.

The massive sample is clearly classified into single-root, double-root, and mixed-root types, with clear divisions corresponding to different observation experimental groups.

Xie Yanchen focused his mind and quickly searched, finally finding his own line of cold records in the mixed spiritual root balance experimental group.

Sample number: XL-947-M-07821

Attributes: Balanced four-elemental spiritual energy, mixed spiritual root

Technique compatibility: 10%

Preset cultivation speed: 10% for the single-spiritual-root control group

Probability of breaking through realms: Foundation Establishment 3%, Golden Core close to zero.

The few lines of text were piercingly poignant.

His twenty years of being a good-for-nothing, and the mixed spiritual roots and destiny that bound him for generations, were never due to the injustice of fate or bad luck.

From the moment he was born, his life's potential, cultivation speed, and breakthrough probability were all predetermined, locked, and shaped by federal data.

  

All his arduous struggles and triumphant comebacks were, ten thousand years ago, merely a string of cold, pre-set data in an experimental table.

A chill ran through him, but Xie Yanchen forcibly suppressed it.

Anger is useless, grief is of no use.

Only by mastering power, understanding the truth, and breaking free from constraints can one escape this eternal prison.

The third type of data – Federal interplanetary communication records.

The XL-947 experimental star synchronizes its experimental data with the Federal Dimensional Administration once every hundred years, and has existed for tens of thousands of years without interruption.

The last communication record was frozen thousands of years ago.

The Federal Dimensional Administration has lost contact, all orders from higher command have been completely cut off, and interstellar communication has been permanently halted.

From then on, this artificial experimental field became an isolated island, with no one managing, updating, or finishing it up.

The pre-programmed experimental procedures, the spiritual energy induction network, the cultivation technique tracking system, and the sample monitoring system continue to operate autonomously, without ceasing for millennia.

Millions of cultivators, unaware of their fate, are becoming experimental subjects generation after generation, trapped in cages for eternity.

The fourth category, and the most crucial top-secret data, is interstellar star map coordinates.

In the center of the screen, a set of precise three-dimensional coordinates slowly appeared, clearly marked.

XL-947 experimental satellite, synchronous companion satellite experimental monitoring station!

The true monitoring center, data storage core, and experimental control terminal of this cultivation world are not located on the mainland, in sects, or in spiritual veins.

Instead, it is a companion star experimental station suspended high in the sky, above the planet's orbit!

The complete operational logs of the entire experimental field, the life data of all cultivators, the original program of the cultivation technique shackles, and the control permissions of the spiritual energy network are all sealed in this extraterrestrial experimental station!

Coordinates locked: The probability of the companion star experimental station existing is 98.7%, its continuous operation status is unknown, there is a high-level energy shield on the outer layer, and the current cultivation level is insufficient to break through the boundary to observe or reach it.

Xie Yanchen gazed at the distant, unreachable coordinates in the sky, his heart heavy with emotion.

With only a meager cultivation level of the fourth stage of Qi Refining, one cannot even fly, let alone break through the atmosphere, traverse interstellar space, or reach an extraterrestrial experimental station.

The truth lies high above, but with his current strength, he is far from even worthy of looking up at it.

There is a long way to go.

But at least, he found the ultimate direction.

"All data is backed up locally with the highest level of encryption, prohibiting any tracing or accidental disclosure."

"Extract the core data of the starred area and analyze the experimental field's level and permission system," Xie Yanchen ordered in a deep voice.

The terminal immediately retrieves the ultimate star information burned into the underlying firmware of the data board.

Planet star rating: X-07-947

Experimental Level: Level C Bioenergy Field Induction Experiment

Operating status: Self-sustaining, communication interrupted

Access control levels: Observation level, Management level, Control level

Local privileges: Federal Terminal Zero - Highest observation level, can read experimental data, cannot interfere with core programs.

Class C experimental field.

Among the myriad experimental projects of the vast Federation, this world, where cultivators struggle to survive and revere as the Great Dao of Immortality, is merely a low-to-medium-level ordinary observational experiment.

How absurd, how tragic.

But for Xie Yanchen, this was his only hope of breaking the deadlock.

At the end of the data, a line of incomplete document caught his attention—the experimental field ground control center protocol.

The XL-947 experimental planet has a main vein control center on its surface, built on the planet's core spiritual vein. It can locally adjust the concentration of spiritual energy, modify experimental parameters in a small area, and shield the underlying tracking code.

Beneath the Qingyun Sect's mountain gate lies the core node of the entire continent's main spiritual vein!

In other words, the surface control core of this experimental field is hidden beneath the Qingyun Sect!

However, this document is incomplete; the specific location of the central control, how to activate it, and how to unlock permissions are all missing.

Xie Yanchen memorized all the key information.

The outer star station is the ultimate truth, while the underground spiritual vein hub is the key to breaking the current deadlock.

Only by proceeding step by step and breaking through layer by layer can one defy fate and escape the eternal prison of the Federation.

After collecting all the belongings and data, dawn had already broken.

Two figures stood silently outside the stone house, interrupting his thoughts.

Sun Hongchang, the outer sect steward, looked on with a gloating expression and a cold, disdainful gaze.

Beside him stood an inner sect law enforcement disciple, a Qi Refining seventh level cultivator with a stern face, holding a summoning jade slip, exuding a chilling aura.

"Xie Yanchen, Elder Wang requests your presence at the Steward's Pavilion immediately!"

The turmoil has resurfaced, and new difficulties and schemes have begun.
