"Young man, if you don't want to join Wangshen Island, don't enter Wangshen City, or your life will be in danger."

As Ding Huan and his companions were about to step into Wangshen City, a sudden voice reached Ding Huan's ears.

Ding Huan's Divine Will was constantly extended, and even though the voice was transmitted, the almost non-existent Law Fluctuation was still captured by him.

The one who transmitted the voice was an elder, who stood in the Void Square, seemingly negotiating with several cultivators.

The elder had the strength of the fifth step of the Great Dao, and from the Dao Rhythm fluctuations around him, Ding Huan knew this person had undergone Shape Shifting.

Ding Huan withdrew his Divine Will, surprised to find someone with such warm-heartedness in this Vast Void, a place pursuing the ultimate Great Dao.

Such matters are thankless; if Wangshen City finds out, the elder's actions would be a death wish.

Ding Huan knew that if he turned around and left now, he'd definitely be monitored.

Since that was the case, it would be better to enter Wangshen City to understand some situations before leaving.

However, the elder's words served as a reminder.

In this place, one must ensure reason on every matter, or even the slightest excuse could be seized upon.

Previously, he had asked Li Yue if a Dao Vein could allow them all to reside in Wangshen City, and Li Yue said to ask the elder once they entered the city, which he shouldn't have said.

"Steward Li, I have another question I wish to ask?" Ding Huan paused outside the city gate and asked with clasped hands.

Li Yue frowned slightly, then quickly said, "Mr. Ding, let's discuss it inside."

Ding Huan did not move, and continued to ask:

"If Steward Li asks the elder, and the elder thinks a Low Grade Dao Vein isn't enough for the four of us, plus our Beast Pets, to settle in Wangshen City, what then?"

Li Yue snorted coldly inside, What then? Naturally, you'd compensate with labor and your life.

Unless you don't enter Wangshen City, as long as you enter, you'd adhere to the Gods Island's default rules, where Wangshen City dictates the terms.

She simply couldn't speak these words.

"I don't know the specifics either; I'll have to ask the elder and find out afterward."

Li Yue thought to herself, certain that Ding Huan was recording this conversation using an imaging tool, yet she failed to spot Ding Huan's actions.

Void Cities outside Gods Island were numerous, but the default rules must not be broken by anyone.

"In that case, we won't go in." Ding Huan turned to leave.

A jovial voice rang out: "Haha, don't worry, fellow Daoists. Our Wangshen City always serves various planes.

Don't worry about having a Dao Vein; even without one, you can freely enter and exit Wangshen City."

As the voice spread, a man with gray shoulder-length hair appeared.

"Who is this fellow Daoist?" Ding Huan asked.

Li Yue hastily explained, "This is Elder Peng, the third elder in charge of foreign affairs in Wangshen City."

"I'm Peng Zhonghai and I enjoy befriending companions from all over. If you have any issues, you can visit me at the Foreign Affairs Elder Mansion anytime."

Peng Zhonghai waved, speaking openly as if he didn't see Ding Huan as an outsider at all.

"Thank you." Ding Huan casually grabbed an Imaging Crystal Ball from the Void.

It was evidently intentional by Ding Huan, implying he had recorded everything on the Imaging Crystal Ball and hoped Wangshen City wouldn't go back on their words.

Peng Zhonghai coldly laughed internally upon seeing Ding Huan stow away the Imaging Crystal Ball.

Just a few ants who haven't even validated their fourth step, dare record an imaging crystal here?

Don't worry about recording; you'll have a chance to show it if you have the ability.

Though he mocked Ding Huan's approach, Peng Zhonghai still sent a Forbidden Pattern into Ding Huan's Imaging Crystal Ball.

With Ding Huan's sensitivity to Heaven and Earth Laws, Peng Zhonghai's actions were detected by him immediately.

Like Peng Zhonghai himself, Ding Huan internally scoffed.

An ordinary sixth step Great Dao, resorting to a Forbidden Pattern to destroy his Imaging Crystal Ball—doesn't know where he gets his confidence.

Once Peng Zhonghai left, Li Yue smiled and said to Ding Huan and his companions, "Mr. Ding, you can rest assured now. Elder Peng has the best relationships, and his word is his bond.

If Elder Peng assures you, then it can certainly be trusted."

"In that case, please lead the way." Ding Huan expressed gratitude.

"If you insist on entering and want to purchase items, go to the Gods Trading Building..." The elder's voice transmitted again to Ding Huan's ears.

Ding Huan was moved by this person's genuinely helpful nature.

Under Li Yue's guidance, Ding Huan and the others entered Wangshen City.

Though Wangshen City is a Void City, its streets are wide and every shop exudes grandeur.

As for Primordial Energy, it's just that way.

Not as good as Ding Huan's cultivation in the Cosmic Pot.

Li Yue led Ding Huan and his group to the place where cultivator identities are processed in Wangshen City.

Ding Huan handed over a Low Grade Dao Vein and processed four entrance and exit Identity Plates for Wangshen City.

Ding Huan's Divine Will scanned the Identity Plates and merely seeing the word "temporary" he knew this was a scam.

Temporary Identity Plates only allowed them to stay in Wangshen City for three days.

After three days, they would still need to leave Wangshen City.

Though the four of them had Identity Plates, if they intended to stay in Wangshen City, it would have been better to process for only one.

Since merely processing one Identity Plate, they could later just procure three more plates.

And now, after three days, they would need to procure four long-term residency Identity Plates.

Li Yue waited to see Ding Huan question this upon seeing him stow away the Identity Plates.

As a Dao Vein resulted in four Temporary Identity Plates for three days, Ding Huan inevitably questioned it.

But questioning was futile, for they were within Wangshen City's default rules.

Li Yue felt stifled as Ding Huan put away the Identity Plates, acting as if unaware they were temporary, and turned to leave.

"Mr. Ding, if there's anything, you can directly come to me." Li Yue handed him a Communication Bead.

"Thank you, Steward Li." Ding Huan accepted the Communication Bead without any change in expression.

Watching the backs of Ding Huan and his group leaving, Li Yue sneered.

She couldn't believe that Ding Huan was willing to use a Dao Vein to process four temporary Identity Plates.

As long as Ding Huan wanted to stay in Wangshen City, he would definitely have to come to her.

"That's really steep, using a Dao Vein for four temporary Identity Plates." Guan Huan cursed.

"I hadn't planned to stay for the full three days anyway. At most, we'll be out of here in half a day, so it doesn't matter about Identity Plates."

Ding Huan was indifferent.

"I wonder if the shops here all belong to Wangshen City." Jia Baihe knew the purpose of Ding Huan's visit.

If all the shops here were owned by Wangshen City, Ding Huan would have a hard time purchasing the things he needed.

"Not all of them, at least one shop should sell genuine items."

Ding Huan spoke while pointing ahead.

"Gods Trading Building?"

Guan Huan exclaimed, "This might be the biggest shop in Wangshen City? It must have connections with Wangshen City."

The Gods Trading Building was directly opposite the entrance to Wangshen City.

The entire trading building took up almost half the street. In such a prominent location, building such an eye-catching trading building could hardly be unrelated to Wangshen City.

"Not necessarily. This trading building may very well be opened by people from the World of Gods, and no matter how formidable Wangshen Island is, they wouldn't dare offend the powers of the World of Gods."

Ding Huan replied.

Although the elder who passed the message to him earlier hadn't said who owned the Gods Trading Building, Ding Huan guessed that it had ties to the World of Gods.

From a distance, Li Yue saw Ding Huan and his group directly enter the Gods Trading Building, frowning slightly.

Logically, Ding Huan and his group had just arrived in Wangshen City, and shouldn't know the background of the Gods Trading Building.

If one didn't know the background of the Gods Trading Building, they wouldn't choose it to inquire about news and buy things.

What's with Ding Huan?

But even so, what does it matter?

If she couldn't take all the Dao Veins from Ding Huan and his group and send them to Gods Island to work, she might as well not exist.

After entering the Gods Trading Building, Ding Huan realized it was a space trading building.

From the outside, the Gods Trading Building was large enough.

Upon entering, he realized how truly big it was inside.

Not only was it big, but there were also many cultivators inside.

The first counter was filled with various Jade Scrolls.

How to join the World of Gods, Gods Island distribution, Gods regulations, Gods Island notes, World of Gods taboos...

Almost every Jade Scroll was urgently needed by Ding Huan.

They really knew how to do business.

Ding Huan was deeply impressed.

These things were not only needed by him, but by any cultivator who just arrived here.

"Give me one of each of the Jade Scrolls in front." Ding Huan pointed to the over a hundred Jade Scrolls at the front.

"One scroll for one top-grade Divine Spirit Vein." The clerk did not pick up the scrolls but watched Ding Huan calmly.

Ding Huan was stunned. Over a hundred top-grade Divine Spirit Veins didn't mean much to him.

But a single simple introduction scroll, costing a top-grade Divine Spirit Vein?

This wasn't absurd—it was absurdity at its finest.

"So expensive?" Guan Huan also sucked in a cold breath.

Despite Ding Huan having so many top-grade Divine Spirit Veins.

Qiao Qianhe really couldn't provide that many top-grade Divine Spirit Veins.

In the vast universe, there were countless cultivators like Qiao Qianhe.

"Are you sure each scroll is one top-grade Divine Spirit Vein?" Ding Huan's tone was calm.

He was certain this was impossible.

The clerk was clearly bluffing.

The clerk's expression turned colder, "I said it is, buy it if you want, if not, leave."

Ding Huan's Divine Will was focused on the surrounding space, immediately capturing subtle fluctuations.

Someone was sending messages to this clerk.

Ding Huan didn't need to find the source to know it was definitely related to Li Yue.

They saw he had Dao Veins and wanted to fleece him.

The World of Gods was evidently beyond the reach of Wangshen Island.

However, no strong existence can cover every angle.

It was normal for this clerk, working here for a long time, to be bought by Wangshen Island.

"If that's the case, just give me what you like." Ding Huan threw a Storage Bag onto the counter, containing only one top-grade Divine Spirit Vein.

His Divine Will had already locked onto the restrictions on these Jade Scrolls.

All of these Jade Scrolls were locked with barrier-like means, presumably a type of Binding.

To Ding Huan, they were hardly worth mentioning.

With the fastest speed, his Divine Will penetrated these Jade Scroll Bindings, copying the contents.

Initially, Ding Huan only planned to buy a hundred Jade Scrolls, but now he copied the contents of all of them.

There were thousands of them in total.

The reason he was still willing to give one top-grade Divine Spirit Vein was just in case.
