Li Yuanba joins over seventy human great powers to enter the Divine Domain. Under the command of Lu Wei, the Immortal Envoy, they deploy an Immortal Residence. Meanwhile, three fifth-grade Holy Spirits, controlled by Li Shiming, begin their own exploration of the Divine Domain.

Especially on the side facing the Immortal Domain, a channel of Spiritual Energy is advancing.

Once this channel of Spiritual Energy extends into the Immortal Domain range, it can attempt to connect with the Falling Immortal Formation.

As long as this Immortal Residence connects with the Falling Immortal Formation, it can share the energy from the Falling Immortal Formation. Then, this Immortal Residence can truly transform the rear area of Baili into the Immortal Domain.

As the Immortal Residence emanated Spiritual Energy, a team of half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ appeared nearby, using Space Movement.

However, this team of half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ found themselves somewhat dazed upon discovering over seventy human Great Powers here.

This dazed state lasted only a brief moment, then combat instincts drove them to fully unleash the ’Holy Spirit’ energy within them. They were not thinking of escaping.

Perhaps they also knew there was no possibility of retreat in front of so many human Great Powers.

With a ’boom’, two bolts of lightning struck the battle array of the half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

Li Yuanba recognized these as the thunderbolts cast by two middle-stage Thunder Cultivators, who together instantly annihilated the team of half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

"All Great Powers with remote sensing capabilities, activate your senses; Our location has been discovered!" Great Power Lu Wei commanded in a deep voice.

Within the Divine Domain, before the Immortal Residence is connected to the Falling Immortal Formation, the Immortal Residence cannot scan distant areas through the formation to proactively detect arriving enemies.

Great Powers without remote sensing capabilities will face severe limitations in their sensing within the Divine Domain environment.

This is why when a team of half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ used Space Movement to arrive unexpectedly, the Great Powers only then realized the reason behind the enemy’s appearance.

Li Yuanba thought for a moment and cast ’Divine Eyes’, a divine skill that enhances vision to observe distant situations. Within the Divine Domain range, its effects are not significantly hindered.

However, he understood that employing various remote sensing capabilities was merely a helpless choice.

The Space Movement of the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ was sufficient to approach the Immortal Residence from outside the range of Great Powers’ remote sensing, directly entering the combat range.

"Yi Yao Great Power, Ding Feng Great Power, Li Yuanba Great Power, the three of you are responsible for patrolling the surroundings and exterminating weaker enemies!" Great Power Lu Wei ordered, looking at the three Sword Cultivators.

"Understood!" Yi Yao Great Power responded solemnly.

The three were Sword Cultivation Great Powers, known for their exceptionally powerful attack capabilities and speed advantages. Patrol duties were not considered dangerous tasks for Sword Cultivation Great Powers.

Should they encounter powerful enemies, their strength would allow them to retreat in time.

Li Yuanba and Great Power Ding Feng had no objections and left the Immortal Residence with Yi Yao Great Power.

"Let’s maintain some distance between us but remain within sensing range to support each other at any time!" Yi Yao Great Power suggested.

He had no concerns about Li Yuanba’s capabilities. Li Yuanba was not weak, even stronger than the two veteran Sword Cultivation Great Powers.

His only worry was Li Yuanba’s relatively limited combat experience. However, keeping contact would ensure no incidents occurred.

With Li Yuanba in the middle, this arrangement allowed experienced Yi Yao Great Power and Great Power Ding Feng to watch over him, while enabling him to assist Yi Yao Great Power and Ding Feng Great Power when needed.

The three Sword Cultivation Great Powers spread out, patrolling around the Immortal Residence using small-scale Space Movement.

It didn’t take long before they encountered a team of half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, a force easily dispatched.

The quick arrival of two batches of half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ indicated that human cultivators were extremely easy to detect within the Divine Domain.

Consider when the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ placed the altar in the Immortal Domain; it took three days for human cultivators to attack it.

Although part of it was due to human cultivators’ preparation time, the altar’s location at the edge of the Immortal Domain meant the Falling Immortal Formation couldn’t detect in time.

In the Divine Domain, human cultivators’ energy appeared as a beacon in the darkness.

Not to mention, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations of the Immortal Residence were so prominent that it was likely known to nearby ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ as soon as activated.

In subsequent times, a team of half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ arrived every now and then.

Although these half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ seemed destined for death, it was apparent that information here was conveyed to the Divine Domain through this method.

After six consecutive batches of half-step Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ were slain, no more arrived.

Despite his lack of experience, Li Yuanba knew this was the calm before the storm.

The impending arrival wouldn’t involve minor skirmishes but would be large-scale ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

Elsewhere, three fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’ completed preliminary exploration, finding three altars surrounding the Immortal Residence.

The three fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’ converged, choosing the altar relatively far from the Immortal Residence.

They opted against the closer altar due to a constant emergence of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ there.

The altar also had transport capabilities, but the numbers it could teleport at a time were extremely limited, unable to form a complete battle force.

The three fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’ approached the target altar, which was unlike the altar previously acquired by Li Shiming.

This altar seemed to have been expanded. It was just part of a construct with a large residence built around it.

Currently, the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ at this altar were leaving continuously, organizing towards the altar nearer to the Immortal Residence.

Li Shiming didn’t act rashly, utilizing the vision of the three fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’ to observe the altar.

He intended to test the altar, as it contained not only ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystals’ but also a mysterious energy.

This mysterious energy was inexplicably attractive to the ’Holy Spirit’; he didn’t want to destroy the altar in his own Grotto Heaven but preferred experimentation with this one.

Even if the Divine Domain discovered a problem with the altar here, the accountability would fall solely on human cultivators.

Time passed little by little, and the number of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ at the altar dwindled.

Finally, under the observation of three fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’, only two early Fifth Grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ stayed behind as others departed.

The altar, originally located closer to the Immortal Domain, had vast numbers of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ for security.

The array of residences near the altar evidenced this point, but there was no real concern from the Divine Domain for this altar’s security.

Human cultivators, upon entering the Divine Domain, would be detected by the altar.

Should human cultivators penetrate deeper from the Immortal Residence into the Divine Domain, a swiftly reactive response from the Divine Domain would prevent human cultivators from nearing the altars at the rear.

Moreover, without a map, human cultivators couldn’t pinpoint the altars initially.

The altars in the Divine Domain periodically shifted locations; even the Immortal Alliance’s scouts couldn’t map out even partial regions of the Divine Domain.

Back at the Immortal Residence, Li Yuanba, Yi Yao Great Power, and Ding Feng Great Power returned.

They were compelled to return after discovering a large-scale ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ force.

This had to do with Li Yuanba’s ’Divine Eyes’; the substantial force of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ appeared within the range of ’Divine Eyes’ during their Space Movement, allowing Li Yuanba to identify them first.

Perhaps due to their large numbers, the intervals between their Space Movements were short.

Enabling those to return promptly to report the situation, ensuring avoidance of being blocked outside by long-distance Space Movement of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

"Prepare for combat, integrate with the Immortal Residence’s formation!" Great Power Lu Wei issued a command in a serious tone after hearing the report from Yi Yao Great Power.
