Retracting her thoughts, Shen Yuxue looked at the more than 40,000 cultivators in front of her and said slowly: "Everyone... Daoist friends, thank you for your trust. The Golden Sword Divine Kingdom is willing to accept cultivators. For the time being, I, the Saint, and Shen Yuxue will be in charge here. Everyone now has a month to communicate and organize. After a month, Li Yuanming of Shang Country will lead the masters of Shang Country to come and discuss Taoism with everyone."
There was a cheer from below, and then questions gradually emerged. Why did the Golden Sword Kingdom accept cultivators? What was the purpose
Shen Yuxue borrowed Li Yuanming's words, or the thoughts from Shang Guo: "History is always progressing. Those who do not conform to the trend of historical development and go against history will eventually be crushed by history. The Golden Sword Kingdom not only does not want to be the one that is crushed, but even wants to be a country that creates history! The Golden Sword Kingdom sincerely invites all cultivators to create a glorious history together! Use our hands to create a history that belongs to us, a history that future generations will always remember! In the future, in the Golden Sword Kingdom, everyone will have two free choices. You can choose to cultivate, or you can choose the traditional path of faith, or even develop simultaneously. The Golden Sword Kingdom is trying to establish a 'one country, two systems' country, and has invited relevant personnel from Shang Guo to help plan. Cultivators can live freely in the Golden Sword Kingdom."
"Good!" Everyone cheered. The dawn of freedom seemed to have descended upon the spirit world, and a revolution began in the Kingdom of the Golden Sword, spreading little by little.

At this time, negotiations on Haozhou were also underway, and were very intense.
What is being negotiated now is the main artery, an artery that directly connects the Longya Empire to the inland of Haozhou.
However, Shang State is no longer planning to build this artery because it already has the teleportation array technology! However, it still has to look like what it should be, and Yuan Yong is also planning to use this "a non-existent and unbuilt artery" to gain enough benefits for Shang State!
Moreover, if Shangguo did not negotiate the construction of the aorta, the four major sects might have other ideas. In order to prevent the four major sects from "thinking nonsense", Yuan Yong thought that it would be better to bring out this aorta and have a good talk.
In terms of the ownership of the aorta, Yuan Yong seemed unable to withstand the attacks of the four major sects and had to retreat step by step. Although there were occasional strong counterattacks, the overall situation was still in retreat. However, in the process of "retreat", Yuan Yong cleverly obtained other benefits and used them to paralyze the four major sects.
Finally, after several days of discussion, the two sides signed an agreement on this "essentially impossible to build artery":
Shang State invested 1.5 billion taels of gold and held 10% of the shares. In addition, the planning map, construction plan, etc. provided by Shang State were provided to the four major sects "free of charge".
Ningguo and Longya Empire each invested 500 million taels of gold, each holding 3% of the shares.
Among the four major sects, the Yunxiao Sect and the Chixia Sect received additional benefits because the main artery passed through their respective areas, and this alone allowed them to occupy 22% and 6% of the shares respectively.
In addition, the four major sects each contributed 1.5 billion taels of gold and each held 10% of the shares.
