Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 2024 - 1058: Immortal Alliance (2)

Due to having seen too few Immortal Residences, he couldn’t gather enough data to determine the function of this enormous formation.

Finally, the Immortal Alliance’s location on the compass was very close, and he summoned Li Yuanba, Li Taibai, and Yin Shilan.

The four of them needed to verify their identities at the Immortal Alliance, requiring them to go together.

The Immortal Alliance is composed of hundreds of floating peaks in the void, shrouded in mist.

The hundreds of peaks of the Immortal Alliance form their own formation, with many energy connections linking into the depths of the void.

Li Shiming recognized that this Immortal Alliance is the core of the enormous formation.

After seeing the core of the formation in the Immortal Alliance, he had some judgments about the enormous formation.

The main function of the enormous formation should be detection; as long as one is within the formation, they will be detected.

This is just what’s apparent for now; he needs more research to understand the other functions of the formation.

Perhaps he won’t even need further research, as joining the Immortal Alliance should reveal more about the formation’s purpose.

As he approached the Immortal Alliance, he found it wasn’t only populated by Great Powers.

Among the peaks in the Immortal Alliance, many cultivators were moving about, none of whom were Great Powers, but Nascent Soul Cultivators.

He led the other three to the edge of the Mountain Protection Array of the Immortal Alliance, and the compass released an energy that opened a passage through the array.

They entered through the formation passage into the Mountain Protection Array, and the compass redirected them to one of the many peaks.

Following the compass’s guidance, they arrived at the target peak.

Before they landed on the peak, a Great Cultivator flew to greet them.

"Honored guests, please follow me!" The Great Cultivator glanced at the compass in Li Shiming’s hand, bowed respectfully, and addressed them.

Li Shiming nodded, with the Great Cultivator leading in the front, while they followed to the summit.

At the summit stood a palace, with a plaque above the main entrance reading ’Qingyang Palace.’

"Honored guests, this is the place for alliance registration!" The Great Cultivator bowed and spoke.

It was apparent he didn’t plan to enter with them.

Li Shiming led the way into the Qingyang Palace, which appeared empty, but using ’Divine Sight’ he saw multiple formation patterns within the hall.

"Four newcomers at once, that’s rare. I’m Liu Hong of Qingyang Palace!" A silhouette emerged from the void in the hall, addressing Li Shiming and the others.

This figure wasn’t the true body of a Great Power but an avatar.

"We hail from Central State!" Li Shiming stepped forward and said.

"Give me your names and I’ll handle the Identity Jade Discs for you!" The Great Power Liu Hong’s avatar waved his hand and said.

Li Shiming hesitated; wasn’t identity supposed to be verified? How could just giving names suffice?

"The Immortal Alliance is a loose organization, and our enemies come from alien realms, so all human cultivators are friends of the alliance!" The Great Power Liu Hong saw Li Shiming’s thoughts and explained with a smile.

Li Shiming, Li Yuanba, Li Taibai, and Yin Shilan each reported their names, with Li Shiming using the name Li Shizhen.

No matter the name Li Shizhen or Li Shiming, both were tied to him.

The name Li Shizhen was more familiar in Central State, hence he used it.

The Great Power Liu Hong’s avatar reached into the void and retrieved four Identity Jade Discs.

Li Shiming saw clearly that the discs were sent via formation.

The Great Power Liu Hong operated the discs then handed them out to the four.

"The Identity Jade Disc represents your identity within the Immortal Alliance, serving as a communication tool. As long as you’re within the Falling Immortal Formation, communication is possible.

Inside the Identity Jade Disc, you can check tasks, which are released intermittently with no compulsory requirements.

However, as newcomers, you should take on tasks to familiarize yourselves; tasks published by the Immortal Alliance indicate risk levels, ensuring higher safety.

Contribution points earned from tasks allow you to exchange them for spiritual objects and resources." Liu Hong continued explaining.

Li Shiming examined the Identity Jade Disc in his hand, made from Fourth Grade Top Quality Spiritual Jade, crafted by a powerful Great Power.

"Mr. Liu, why are there so many low-level cultivators here?" Li Shiming stored the disc and curiously inquired.

He presumed the Land of Fallen Immortals to be entirely a Great Powers’ realm.

Yet within the Immortal Alliance, he saw many low-level cultivators, which surprised him.

"There aren’t many Great Powers, and some affairs need handling by cultivators. Long ago, a Great Power brought low-level cultivators by Grotto Heaven; later more were brought, creating a gathering place of cultivators here. The Immortal Alliance is just one of these gathering places; you’ll see more in the future!" The Great Power Liu Hong explained with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for resolving my doubts!" Li Shiming bowed with appreciation.

"Spend some more time here in the Land of Fallen Immortals, and you’ll learn these things. If any issues arise, you can contact me via the Identity Jade Disc!" Liu Hong said with a wave.

What made him regard Li Shiming highly was his superiority.

Even as an avatar, he sensed pressure from Li Shiming.

"Shiming, what should we do next?" From Qingyang Palace, Yin Shilan asked Li Shiming.

Knowing Li Yuanba and Li Taibai were Li Shiming’s avatars, she naturally chose to ask him directly.

"Let’s first look at available tasks, and through doing them, familiarize ourselves with the Land of Fallen Immortals!" Li Shiming considered and replied.

Yin Shilan would certainly not oppose, for although there seemed no apparent danger, considering how many Free Great Powers venture here, the risk here must be high.

Her strength was of little help to Li Shiming, perhaps even a hindrance.

The Immortal Alliance doesn’t prepare abodes for newly joined Great Powers since each has a Grotto Heaven, superior to any abode.

Peaks in the Immortal Alliance serve ordinary cultivators, who utilize the Land of Fallen Immortals’ spiritual energy environment to cultivate spirit plants.

Even Great Powers’ Fifth-grade Spiritual Pills require auxiliary spiritual medicine in their concoction. These auxiliary medicines, though only third or fourth grade, must be cultivated here in the Land of Fallen Immortals to avoid long, arduous journeys away.

Distances between the Land of Fallen Immortals and any Cultivation Land are extensive, better to cultivate lower-grade spiritual medicine here.

Moreover, these low-level cultivators also need resources, and cultivating spirit plants helps them with their own cultivation needs.

Li Shiming found a location near the Immortal Alliance, then entered the Grotto Heaven.

Inside the Grotto Heaven, he took out the Identity Jade Disc.

Even within the Grotto Heaven, the Identity Jade Disc remained usable.

He scanned the tasks, most were guard tasks, each with different contribution points, typically spanning a century.

Seeing the century time unit, he immediately dismissed the idea of taking guard tasks.

To familiarize with the Land of Fallen Immortals, such tasks seem a waste of time.

As he checked tasks, a glow flashed on the Identity Jade Disc, refreshing a new task.

This was an emergency task, marked at the top.

"Residence Seventy-three under attack, immediate rescue required, needs at least two Great Powers to undertake!"

The reward offered was contribution points of fifty points from a Great Power of Residence Seventy-three for each participant.

"Lan’er, soon don’t act, let’s take this task together!" Li Shiming contemplated and said to Yin Shilan.

Yin Shilan nodded, selecting the emergency task on the Identity Jade Disc, while Li Yuanba and Li Taibai did the same.

Now they became four Great Powers undertaking the emergency rescue task, next heading towards Residence Seventy-three that needed aid.
