The Immortal Alliance's journal and paper repository system is quite expedient but relatively inefficient. The greatest benefit probably lies in the protection of theoretical systems. Unless one can stealthily abduct whole batches or complete teams of researchers, the theoretical system of Modern—a foundational element of the Immortal Alliance—is invariably safe.
Wang Qi flipped through the journal with this thought in mind.
Since a paper in Shenzhou could be included in more than one journal, the concept of a "core journal" did not exist. Journals organized by large sects generally have a high status but cover a wide range, inevitably leading to some oversights in various domains. A journal produced by a few Grandmasters led by a Carefree Practitioner focuses solely on one domain, and the publisher inevitably shows some bias. Thus, the value of reading journals from Shenzhou is somewhat weaker compared to those from Earth.
