Such a special form of diplomacy was indeed something that Qin Shi had never thought of. However, this was just as well. After all, Fengsha had mentioned that the conclusion of this Ceremony of the Deity Territory would be held. As the leader of the Deity Territory, he should be the protagonist of this conclusion. However, in reality, this was a competition between the eight territories. The open and veiled struggles for status did not have much to do with him. He only needed to attend the final conferment ceremony. He might as well go to these trading centers, market squares and auctions to see if he could gain any unexpected gains.
Not only him, but Haoyue, Yu Yue, Xu Qingfeng, and many other disciples of the Sword Sect, and even the disciples of the eight regions, were all very interested in these dozens of Xumi spaces.
After all, this was the true purpose of their trip.
Qin Shi glanced left and right. When he saw the wolf-like gazes, he smiled. "What, are you all going to go and take a look?"
"Yes, I want to take a look."
"Then let's go and take a look." Qin Shi laughed. Then, he took the lead and walked towards the Xumi spaces.
After entering the first Xumi space, it had to be said that it was indeed the work of the eight regions. This Xumi space was enormous, and it was the most outstanding and astonishing one that Qin Shi had ever seen. At a glance, it was at least tens of thousands of cubic meters, and there were layers upon layers of jade buildings. There were already tens of thousands of disciples gathered in it, and every one of them wanted to explore a few treasures from it.
"You guys, wait!"
As soon as they entered, Qin Shi and the others were suddenly stopped. When he saw these people, Qin Shi frowned slightly. This group of disciples were clearly dressed as disciples of the Sword Sect, so why did they stop them?
"What's going on?" Qin Shi asked curiously.
"It's nothing, don't mind them. They are disciples sent by the Sword Sect to maintain the security of this Divine Realm Ceremony. Not only the Sword Sect, but every region of the eight regions will also send such disciples. Moreover, these disciples have a unified requirement, and that is, they are not allowed to smuggle anything to anyone. They must be publicized, and this is to maintain public security."
"There's such a thing?" This was the first time Qin Shi had heard of it.
"Of course. Let's put it this way. If I'm sent out by the Sword Sect, then even if Qing 'er appears here, I will have to announce that I'm here. Otherwise, once I'm discovered, it won't just be the Sword Sect, but the entire upper echelons of the eight regions." Yu Yue explained from the side, and then he politely smiled towards those few people.
He was able to discern that a few of them knew of Qin Shi's identity, so they'd had livid and unsightly expressions since they'd stopped him at the beginning. If they offended Qin Shi because of work, then they could dream of having good days in the Sword Sect in the future. Fortunately, Yuyue's timely explanation allowed them to heave sighs of relief.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yuyue."
These disciples were also from the Enforcement Pavilion. They immediately looked at Yu Yue with gratitude.
After understanding the situation, Qin Shi naturally wouldn't make things difficult for them. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, of course we have to make it public."
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother Qin."
They once again let out a long sigh. In terms of experience, although Qin Shi's position in the Sword Sect was shallow, in terms of seniority, Qin Shi was already their senior brother. The leader said, "Then I'll have to trouble you to hand over your Sword Sect's points. I'll exchange them for divine territory points according to your points."
"Divine territory points?"
"Yes, that's the exclusive currency in circulation in the divine territory. It's exchanged according to the points of the eight regions."
"Then how will the eight regions settle this debt in the end?"
"Of course they'll exchange it back. However, this is a matter between the upper echelons."
"If that's the case, then wouldn't the eight regions suffer a great loss?"
"It won't. Do you think that our years in the Sword Sect are only worth these points?
Let me tell you, it's not worth it at all. Especially the disciples who work hard in the eight regions. The value they can produce for the sect every day is hundreds of Glazed Crystals, but they only get these points. So, be bold and exchange for them. "
Yu Yue curled his lips in disdain. However, it was no wonder that he was so unhappy. He worked hard in the Sword Sect for a year and only earned a few thousand points.
Just this labor alone was probably worth close to 10,000 Glazed Crystals, right?
Qin Shi nodded and said, "I see. But I don't feel anything."
"Of course you don't feel anything. Most of your points were swindled from Senior Fengsha." Xu Qingfeng rolled her eyes at Qin Shi.
"Uh!"
Qin Shi scratched his head awkwardly. It seemed that was indeed the case.
"Then let's exchange."
Qin Shi was the first to take out his points. However, when they saw his points, the Sword Sect disciples immediately revealed bitter expressions.
"What is it? Is there a problem?" asked Qin Shi.
The disciples hurriedly shook their heads. One of them smiled as if he had been wronged and said, "There is no problem. It's just that such a large amount … Phew, it's going to take a long time."
"Come on, we have work to do," he said to the people behind him.
In the eight regions, those who had ten million points were mostly high-ranking disciples. There were only a handful of them in each region. To meet one of them, the disciples were really unlucky.
It should be known that the exchange rate for each region was different. For example, the Sword Sect's points were depreciated compared to the Chaos Territory's points. So, exchanging points was a tedious process.
It took them half an hour to exchange for Qin Shi's ten million points. Of course, after Qin Shi finished, the rest was not a problem. Yu Yue and the other two took only a few minutes.
This caused the few of them to seriously feel that it was unfair, and they glared at Qin Shi with hidden bitterness.
Qin Shi felt helpless and hurriedly said, "Don't look at me like that. If you need me, I will help you."
"That's more like it." Hearing this, the three of them smiled. This made Qin Shi feel like he had fallen into a trap.
However, he really didn't care about these points. At least, compared to his brothers, he did.
"Sirs, if you are interested, why don't you go to the Slaughter Stage and have a look? Maybe you will get a good result," a Sword Sect disciple suddenly said.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the people next to him glared at him and said, "Wu Fang, what are you talking about?"
"Ah?" The disciple was shocked.
"Slaughter Stage?"
Qin Shi murmured. He was curious about the name and asked, "What kind of place is the Slaughter Stage?"
"This … This …" The disciple was troubled for a moment, and then he said to the people next to him, "I'm only introducing it to Senior Brother Qin Shi. The things in the Sumeru Realm shouldn't be considered to be against the rules, right?"
They glanced at each other, and they were unable to make the decision.
The disciple gritted his teeth and said abruptly, "Forget it. Even if it's against the rules, I'll take responsibility for it."
After that, he seemed to be unafraid of death, and he gathered his strength to look at Qin Shi. This caused Qin Shi to be unable to help but feel that this person was rather interesting. If it was possible, he wanted to try to become friends with this person.
Presently, his relationship in the Sword Sect was extremely shallow, and his foundation was very unstable. Besides Yu Yue, Haoyue, and Wu Fang, he practically didn't have any trusted subordinates. It didn't matter now. However, if he wanted to fulfill his promise to Qi Qing, it was definitely insufficient.
Thus, Qin Shi decided that he had to develop his own forces in the Sword Sect.
"Senior Brother Qin Shi, you might not know this, but in this Sumeru Realm, there is an extremely mysterious Array Stage. That Array Stage is similar to a Beast Arena, and it is a battle without any rules. However, the important thing is that every battle will have disciples placing bets, so every time you win a battle, you will be able to obtain a large number of God Realm points."
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi understood the reasoning behind this, but there was not the slightest bit of interest in his black eyes. Instead, there was extreme disgust.
This kind of senseless killing was something he despised.
However, the disciple's words attracted Qin Shi's attention. "Moreover, if you can win 10 battles in a row, you will receive a chance. This chance allows you to take any item in this Sumeru Realm for yourself."
"Take any item?
What do you mean? "
"In other words, so long as you're able to win 10 battles in a row, then you'll have a chance to choose any item in this Sumeru Realm, and no one can refuse this chance."
When he spoke up to here, a disciple's eyes narrowed lecherously. "Even if it's a woman from one of the other 8 territories that you've taken a fancy to, you can openly bring her back to the Sword Sect."
"There's such a thing?"
Qin Shi was astounded. Isn't this a little too exaggerated?
"Yes. However, it seems that up until now, no one has been able to win ten battles in a row. After all, those who are able to come here are not ordinary people. To fight ten people in a row without rest, even a deity would find it hard to do so."
That disciple suddenly paused, and then he changed his words. "Of course, if it's Senior Brother Qin Shi, then I think you can give it a try."
Qin Shi nodded inwardly when he found out about the situation, and he couldn't help but have naughty thoughts in his heart. If I really win 10 battles in a row, then wouldn't I be able to take Qin Xue Xin home?
Of course, this was just a thought, and he wasn't crazy to that extent. Moreover, even if he really could take Qin Xue Xin away now, he wouldn't do it. After all, it wasn't just the Blue Snow Sect that stood between him and Qin Xue Xin. The real culprit that separated them for so long was Team Bi.
He had to become stronger and defeat Team Bi. Only then would he be able to truly be together with Qin Xue Xin. When he thought about how long this path was, he couldn't help but feel powerless in his heart.
"Little fellow, what's wrong?
You want to give up? "
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he shook his head and smiled dimly. "Give up? How could that be possible? I just feel that it's really hard on that little girl."
"Then you have to work even harder."
"I know. I will do the same."
Qin Shi's black eyes hardened once more. Shortly after, he smiled at his disciples, expressing his thanks to them. He also left behind 100,000 points for each of them. It could be considered a token of his appreciation. Of course, he was also paving the way for his Sword Sect's future development.
Seeing the 100,000 points, the disciples' eyes widened. 100,000 points was something they wouldn't be able to obtain in a few years, or even decades. All of them ignored the rules and hurriedly thanked Qin Shi.
