The so-called "regular return to Divine Province" was, for cultivators on the Immortal Alliance's side, actually a kind of disguised benefit. For some scholars who had been famous for a long time, they still had many things on the God Continent that could be called their "foundations." Take the Empirical Departments, for example. Without their leaders, an Empirical Department could hardly operate at full efficiency. Many cultivators who had gone to the South Sea still had several Empirical Departments under their names. Under such circumstances, they could not even inspect the work every few days.
Wang Qi and Fan De, first-rate scholars who were practically representative figures of entire schools of thought, needed to guide others' research in real time. Not only did they need to gather everyone for discussions at intervals and keep hold of the overall direction, they also had the responsibility of helping other cultivators solve all manner of "small problems."
Even with the Myriad Immortal Illusion Realm, it was hard to say these research activities would remain unaffected.
And the South Sea happened to be a confidential project. If people entered and exited too frequently, unrelated parties could easily spot something amiss—within this immortal cultivation civilization, any cultivator might develop an ingenious method unlike any other. It would not be strange for someone to see through certain secrets.
Thus, for first-rate scholars, "returning regularly" was a benefit.
This was also what Feng Luoyi had previously promised Wang Qi—that Wang Qi's ordinary research work would absolutely not be affected.
At the thought that in two more days, he could slip in among the first batch of regular returnees and go back to Divine Province to continue his unfinished work and inspect the Ji Sect's research progress, Wang Qi felt incomparably lighthearted.
—I wonder how far they've gotten...
