Time flew by like an arrow!
In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed. In this month, Ou Shaotian had been busy with the White Cloud Association.
To be precise, the White Cloud Chamber of Commerce had changed its name.
In the past, he had been a hands-off boss, but in the past month or so, he had personally been busy both inside and outside the house.
The teleportation portals of Giant Turtle Immortal Island, Divine State Island, and Sunset Island had been opened. The three portals were interconnected and developed rapidly.
Giant Turtle Immortal Island, in particular, was expanding.
The innermost Hall of Succession, which was enveloped by a formation and originally belonged to the direct disciples, had been changed by Ou Shaotian.
It had become the residence of the White Cloud Chamber of Commerce's upper echelons, and some of the halls had been allocated.
Ou Shaotian's students, as well as his brother Jun Wuqing and his teacher Li Zhenwei, had been allocated to an independent Hall of Succession.
As for his parents and Yun Duo, they did not need to be allocated separately. Instead, they stayed in Ou Shaotian's Hall of Succession.
However, the name had been changed. It was no longer called the Hall of Succession.
Of course, Giant Turtle Immortal Island was not open to the public yet. Only the internal members of the White Cloud Chamber of Commerce could enter.
Divine State Island, City Lord's Residence Hall. Ou Shaotian sat on the main seat.
"President, the Alliance's First Elder is here!"
Someone came in to report.
"Mm, invite them in!"
At the head seat, Ou Shaotian said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
The guard below quickly walked out again. After a while, he brought in a few people. One of them was the First Elder of the Human Alliance Headquarters.
The First Elder was very old. He had a head of white hair and faint wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, but he did not look old.
He was very strong, at least at the peak of Rank 9.
"Greetings, President Ou!"
The First Elder cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Ou Shaotian also walked down from the main seat and said with a smile, "First Elder, please take a seat. May I know why you're here?"
"Hahaha, this old man heard that a monstrous genius has appeared in the human race. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. You should already be at the Ninth Stage, right?"
After seeing that Ou Shaotian was at the ninth step, Great Elder Bai Haoyue was shocked, but also extremely happy.
"Not bad, just a little lucky!"
"President Ou, you're not just lucky. I'm here this time mainly to discuss with you some matters regarding the quota for the stairway."
"Speak!"
"Our headquarters have discussed and decided that we would like to have 100 spots for the Celestial Stairway assessment every year. We will pay 10 million top-grade spirit stones for each spot."
"Sure, let's set it in the summer. We'll decide the exact time every time the Stairway to Heaven test is opened!"
"Thank you!"
Hearing Ou Shaotian's agreement, Bai Haoyue revealed a smile.
He was still afraid that Ou Shaotian would refuse. Although 10 million top-grade Spirit Stones seemed to be a lot, it was nothing to the Human Alliance.
The human race did not lack money. What they lacked were true experts.
As long as they could send people into the Archaion Sect, as long as they grew up, the human race would become stronger and stronger!
10 million top-grade Spirit Stones per person, 100 of them would only cost 1 billion. It was not much!
"Great Elder, you don't have to be so polite. We're all humans, but I have something to ask!"
"Speak!"
"I wonder if the human race has conquered any Spirit Realms?"
Ou Shaotian asked.
"Well, we don't have any independent occupation. However, we have a few Spirit Domain passages. They are located in the Alliance Headquarters."
The Great Elder said awkwardly.
It was not that they were weak, but the human race was lacking experts. Even the Spirit Domain passages were guarded at a huge price!
Moreover, they were not precious Spirit Domains. They were all Spirit Domains with ordinary resources!
However, even the worst Spirit Domains were shockingly valuable.
The most important thing was that the rank nine resources produced in Spirit Domains were rare no matter how ordinary they were.
"Don't worry, Great Elder. Sooner or later, the human race will conquer our own Spirit Domain!"
Ou Shaotian could not help but say.
"Sigh, we can't compare to those great sects. I heard that those great sects not only monopolize Spirit Domains, but some of their disciples have also secretly occupied Spirit Domains!"
"You mean, occupied by individuals?"
"Something like that. Don't the great sects form factions? Some are occupied by small groups, and some are occupied by mountain ranges."
"Then, don't the upper echelons of the great sects care?"
"According to the rules, the great sects can't spy on the gains of their disciples. Otherwise, the hearts of the people will be divided. If you discover it yourself, as long as you don't report it and have the ability to occupy it, it will be yours."
"No wonder there are such high rewards for reporting it. It turns out that they are encouraging everyone to report it!"
Hearing this, Ou Shaotian finally understood why the rewards were so high!
"Of course. The great sects can't snatch the things of their disciples, but they can use high rewards to attract their disciples to report it!"
Bai Haoyue nodded.
Then, Bai Haoyue explained the situation of the human race's Spirit Domains. Basically, they were competing with other races.
There were many Spirit Domains in the void. They were small spaces floating in the chaotic void.
There were good and bad Spirit Domains. From time to time, they would form whirlpools with the Endless Sea Realm. Once they were completely connected, they could enter.
If they were not completely connected, the channel would be somewhat illusory, and the treasures in the void would flow into the whirlpool channel. This was the origin of the Fishing Whirlpool.
If they were completely connected, there would be no fishing, but they could enter the Spirit Domains.
After chatting for about an hour, Bai Haoyue left with the others.
"Let's go, Duo!"
Ou Shaotian stood up and held Yun Duo's hand as they left the City Lord's Mansion.
"Where are we going?"
Yun Duo held Ou Shaotian's hand and asked happily.
"Let's go out for a walk!"
Ou Shaotian said with a smile.
After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the two came to the main street.
After a period of development, Divine State Island had become more and more lively. Early on, when Ou Shaotian entered the True Disciple Ranking, Divine State Island was protected by the Archaion Sect.
There was no need to worry about other forces invading.
"Shao Tien, look at Divine State City. Isn't it developing well? Many humans have already gathered here!"
Yun Duo said proudly.
They had participated in the entire development of Divine State City. Seeing how prosperous Divine State City was, they naturally felt proud.
"Not bad. In the future, Divine State City and Giant Turtle Immortal Island will definitely become the sacred land of the human race!"
Ou Shaotian's goal was very big.
The human race's territory in the Endless Sea Realm was still too small. If he wanted to make the human race strong and not let the foreign races bully them, he had to do it to the extreme.
"Shao Tien, don't worry. This will happen sooner or later!"
Yun Duo said confidently.
Now that Divine State Island had entered the Sixth Region, they temporarily stopped and could not move forward for a short period of time.
If they continued to move forward, those with weaker cultivation would not be able to withstand it.
At this point, the atmospheric pressure had increased by fifty to sixty times. Those who were only at Rank Five or Rank Six were already struggling.
