Cultivation is just so scientific! Chapter 2055 - 1074: Success

Li Shiming controlled the mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ as he took out a soul crystal ring, attempting to store the altar inside it as before.

Unfortunately, no matter how he operated, the altar couldn’t be stored.

He shook his head helplessly, having figured out why this was the case.

The altar, within the Divine Domain, formed a vast network with other altars, similar to the Falling Immortal Formation of the Immortal Domain.

Unless the altar’s connection to the other altars was severed, it would be impossible to store it.

He had just checked and found that disconnecting the altar from the network would take some time.

If he attempted to sever the connection, it would immediately alert the Divine Domain to this location.

With a large number of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ gathering nearby, being discovered now would have dire consequences. Just one late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ would be enough to hold off three mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’.

Since he couldn’t store the altar, he decided to let the three mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’ gain the maximum benefit from the altar.

One mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ moved to the central position above the altar and placed its hand on it.

He attempted to probe the interior of the altar, discovering a vast amount of energy inside.

With this discovery, he regretted not bringing all the half-step fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’, as they could have all reached the half-step fifth-grade peak.

As the mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ probed close to the center inside the altar, he slowed down his exploration.

He remembered that during his last exploration, it was at this position that he encountered a terrifying consciousness attacking him mentally.

"Better to wait for now!" he thought, pausing his probing for the moment.

With a slight movement of his mind, the three mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’ began to extract ’Holy Spirit’ energy from the altar.

Even though advancing to the peak of the mid fifth-grade requires a massive amount of ’Holy Spirit’ energy, the energy within this altar was more than sufficient.

Absorbing about a third of the altar’s ’Holy Spirit’ energy allowed the three mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’ to advance to the peak of the mid fifth-grade.

Without the ’Holy Spirit’ energy from the altar, it would take centuries to reach this level at normal cultivation speed, even at a fast rate.

The ’Holy Spirit’ energy within the altar wasn’t for any specific ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’; it was intended to serve all ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ passing by.

Most of the ’Holy Spirit’ energy is a strategic reserve, meant for countering potential attacks.

Li Shiming sensed the ’Holy Spirit’ energy within the altar through the mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’, and the remaining two-thirds of it was very tempting to him.

"What a pity!" he said with a helpless shake of his head.

Even if he wanted to take this ’Holy Spirit’ energy away, there was no way to do so.

The mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ found the location of twelve ’Exotic Realm Spirit Crystals’, and due to his experience with an altar, he could easily extract them.

IBMz15 had done some research on the altar, achieving some results.

The previous mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ returned to its original position and placed its hand on the altar again.

Li Shiming was prepared, ready for the three mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirits’ to leave at any sign of disturbance.

The mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ mentally entered the altar’s interior, locating the danger.

This time, instead of a pair of eyes, a phantom figure emitting golden light with three pairs of golden wings on its back appeared in the mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’s’ consciousness.

If the mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ had acted alone, the phantom figure would have faced its soul.

But now, with Li Shiming controlling the mid fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’, the phantom figure faced one of Li Shiming’s souls.

A terrifying pressure surged toward him like a tide, and compared to the pair of eyes seen from the altar last time, the phantom figure’s mental impact was at least ten times stronger.

Even though Li Shiming distributed the phantom figure’s mental attack through one hundred and ninety-one brains of his soul, he still felt a wave of dizziness.

The phantom figure was a wisp of consciousness left within the altar from an unknown existence, and though it was just a wisp, it had grown tremendously strong over time.

The pair of eyes inside the altar that Li Shiming obtained was the initial state of this unknown existence’s consciousness.

But this altar had existed for an extended period, and the wisp of unknown existence consciousness within it had been nourished by large amounts of ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ and ’Holy Spirit’ energy, far beyond its initial state.

The phantom figure’s full-force mental attack unexpectedly consumed a great amount of energy.

Possessing intelligence, the phantom figure’s mental attack was a punishment for those who rashly probed the altar’s core.

For desecrators, the phantom figure’s mental attack was without restraint, intending to kill.

The full-force mental attack utilized all of the spiritual energy contained within this wisp of consciousness.

At his level of spiritual energy, he could easily annihilate any fifth-grade existence.

But the unknown existence hadn’t considered that there might be a fifth-grade existence capable of resisting its mental attack.

This failure to eliminate the desecrator instead depleted all its spirit, rendering the wisp of consciousness unsustainable.
