Cultivation is just so scientific!

Chapter 2049: Chapter 1071: Research (Happy National Day!)

The battle at this altar concluded after the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ issued a command.

Light suddenly expanded on the altar, and at the same time, the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ vanished with the remaining living ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ using spatial immobilization, employing Space Movement to escape the battlefield.

Among the human powerhouses, a late stage powerhouse flickered onto the altar, retrieving twelve ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystals’ with a wave of his hand.

Without halting, he soon disappeared from the scene.

The rest of the human powerhouses quickly distanced themselves from the altar as its light rapidly intensified.

Just as the late stage powerhouse appeared among the many powerhouses, the altar erupted with an incredibly dazzling light, an energy mass bursting outward from the altar, spreading around.

Prepared human powerhouses were positioned at a relatively safe distance from the explosion center, thus unaffected by the blast.

Such combat experience was gained through repeated bloody lessons, and in earlier battles, a considerable number of powerhouses fell to altar explosions indeed.

Of course, if any powerhouse became too greedy, their fate would be the same.

Among all the powerhouses, only late stage powerhouses were assured to extract ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystals’ and retreat safely.

”Many thanks to Mr. Yi and Mr. Li; our task here is done!” A powerhouse called out to Yi Yao Great Power and Li Yuanba.

Li Yuanba, though having arrived recently, had already gained some recognition, naturally being recognized by certain powerhouses.

Yi Yao Great Power nodded but did not intend to lead Li Yuanba over, instead leading him away first.

Afterwards, powerhouses here would distribute the spoils, and such collaboratively acquired spoils needed to be distributed based on each powerhouse’s contribution.

While leaving, Li Yuanba still pondered the terrifying scene of the altar explosion.

He recalled that if the altar indeed exploded, not only would the fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ fall instantly, but even ’Dao Rhythm Treasure Lotus’, hiding nearby, would be blasted out.

The prized ’Mirror Flower Water Moon’, although offering some defensive effect, surely could not withstand the altar’s self-destruction.

This self-destruction could wipe out a group of middle stage powerhouses completely, and even late stage powerhouses would face the risk of falling.

”Yuanba, do you know why we are providing support?” Yi Yao Great Power asked while they were journeying back.

”Is it due to the unity among human cultivators?” Li Yuanba thought for a moment and replied.

”It’s not just that; the Immortal Alliance has a strict order prohibiting the altar from establishing within the Immortal Domain, hence offering ample contribution points to issue missions.

Actually, even without the Immortal Alliance, we wouldn’t allow the altar to exist in the Immortal Domain. Once the altar is stabilized in the Immortal Domain, it implies our movable range in the Immortal Domain diminishes, leading to a gradual erosion of the Immortal Domain.

Look at the current map of the Immortal Domain; those curves extending towards the Immortal Domain are areas previously occupied by stable altars!” Yi Yao Great Power responded solemnly.

Li Yuanba had seen the border between Immortal Domain and Divine Domain, indeed finding some boundaries extending toward the Immortal Domain.

At that time, he hadn’t paid attention, now realizing it was the result of the altar.

Li Yuanba and Yi Yao Great Power returned to the Seven Immortals Residence, but Great Power Ding Feng hadn’t returned yet, possibly indicating the battle at another altar wasn’t proceeding smoothly.

Yi Yao Great Power wasn’t planning to support further, as they each had their own missions.

Once back, Li Yuanba sensed the Immortal Alliance message from the Identity Jade Disc.

He checked the Immortal Alliance message, discovering the mission rewards for destroying the altar had already been issued.

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Alliance reacted swiftly, granting him eight hundred contribution points.

He wasn’t sure if eight hundred contribution points were deemed few or abundant regarding this task’s rewards, but he clearly understood the value behind eight hundred contribution points.

The exchange rate for a fifth-grade spiritual medicine was one hundred contribution points; as for the ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystal’ contribution points, unfortunately, his contribution points haven’t qualified for viewing this exchange option.

The Identity Jade Disc displays all projects redeemable with Immortal Alliance contribution points.

”Yuanba, how many contribution points did you get? If it’s lacking, I’ll address it with them?” Yi Yao Great Power also noticed the contribution points had been issued and asked Li Yuanba.

”I received eight hundred contribution points!” Li Yuanba openly revealed, although it was private information, Yi Yao Great Power showed concern for him.

”It’s a bit few, I expected at least over one thousand contribution points!” Yi Yao Great Power expressed slight dissatisfaction, though the figure almost met his estimate, still showing discontent but not intending to confront previous teammates.

”How many contribution points did you get, brother?” Li Yuanba asked curiously.

”Not comparable to you, I contributed somewhat, receiving two hundred contribution points!” Yi Yao Great Power replied with a wave.

Task rewards are based on one’s role in battles; Li Yuanba single-handedly eliminating over half of the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ resulted in him obtaining more contribution points than other powerhouses.

”Yuanba, accumulate energy in the upcoming two years, following the Divine Domain expansion, Immortal Alliance will soon retaliate, then Immortal Domain will undergo an expansion!” Yi Yao Great Power suggested, recalling something.

”Preparing to deploy Immortal Residences within the Divine Domain?” Li Yuanba speculated.

”Correct, typically Immortal Residences are sent into the Divine Domain around a hundred Baili, primarily aiming to draw and eliminate a significant number of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, not truly intending for Immortal Residences to remain!” Yi Yao Great Power nodded in agreement.
