Chapter 1038

Gu Ding and the others had a good impression of Carefree Immortal Palace.

Whether it was Palace Master Bai Zhan's attitude, the orderly management of the place, or the living conditions of the residents of Carefree Immortal Palace, Gu Ding and the others were very satisfied.

Therefore, Gu Ding and the others had a good time during their three-day stay in Carefree Immortal Palace.

They exchanged the lower-level currency for the Main Plane's Virtual God Crystals. In fact, source energy crystals were also used in the Main Plane. However, in the Main Plane, source energy crystals were only a small amount of currency. Basically, they were used by people who had not reached Heavenly God cultivation level. Moreover, their circulation was large, easily reaching hundreds of millions.

The reason why Gu Ding and the others sold the previous resources in the upper-level world was that most of the resources could be sold at a higher price in the upper-level world than in the Main Plane. Moreover, the exchange rate between source energy crystals and Virtual God Crystals was the same in the Main Plane.

Virtual God Crystals were basically the currency used by Heavenly Gods and lord-level powerhouses in the Main Plane. One Virtual God Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand source energy crystals.

Gu Ding and the others exchanged most of their assets for Virtual God Crystals, which made them feel like they had become poor immediately. This was because all the Virtual God Crystals added up were only about four hundred million, less than five hundred million.

In addition to being a currency, Virtual God Crystals were also crystals that contained a small amount of precept energy. They could be used by Heavenly Gods and Lords who had comprehended precepts.

In the Main Plane, Virtual God Crystals were actually only the currency used by Heavenly Gods and some Lords. As for the Supreme Lords and Lord-level powerhouses, they used higher-level Order Energy Crystals as their currency. One Order Energy Crystal was equivalent to ten thousand Virtual God Crystals.

If Gu Ding and the others exchanged their Virtual God Crystals for Order Energy Crystals, they would only have about forty thousand. Compared to the Great Perfection Lords and Lord-level powerhouses, they were practically paupers.

In the Main Plane, a Heaven-level Lord Weapon cost tens of thousands of Order Energy Crystals. Gu Ding and the others could only afford one with all their assets. If they encountered a high-quality Heaven-level Lord Weapon, they might not even be able to afford one.

Three days passed. Early this morning, Bai Zhan's voice was clearly heard by every member of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew.

"Gu Ding, my little friend, bring your teammates to the conference hall from last time. The envoys from the major holy lands are all here."

Only then did Gu Ding lead Lilliath and the others toward the conference hall.

The office hall couldn't accommodate anyone below the rank of Elder. The accommodation that Bai Zhan and the others had arranged for them was less than 300 meters away from the office hall. This was also for convenience.

As soon as they entered the office lobby, someone immediately led them to the conference hall.

Not long after, the group of people filed into the conference hall.

As soon as they walked into the conference hall, Gu Ding and the others could clearly feel the people sitting on the chairs on both sides of the hall. Each of them exuded a faint, terrifying pressure.

Sitting at the head of the conference hall were not the palace masters of Freedom Immortal Palace, nor were they the elders of Freedom Immortal Palace. Instead, they were five strangers that Gu Ding and the others had never seen before.

However, at first glance, Gu Ding could tell that all five of them were Lord-level powerhouses. After confirming the strength of the five people, it was not difficult for Gu Ding to guess that these five people were messengers from the five major seven-star holy lands.

In the conference hall, as the master of Freedom Immortal Palace, Bai Zhan retreated to the second seat on the left.

Seeing Gu Ding and the others enter, Bai Zhan was afraid that they did not know what was going on. He slowly stood up and explained to Gu Ding, "The five lords at the head of the hall are all messengers from the seven-star holy lands. The others on both sides of the conference hall are also messengers sent by the other major holy lands."

"Greetings, Lord Messengers!"

When Gu Ding heard Bai Zhan speak, his heart calmed down a little. He stepped forward and cupped his hands in greeting.

"You're Gu Ding?"

The one who asked was the second person on the left of the five people at the head of the hall. He was a strong man in golden armor. Even his head was completely wrapped in a golden helmet, revealing only a pair of eyes. His tone was somewhat unfriendly.

Many people in the hall were sizing up Gu Ding and the others. Only his eyes were repeatedly looking up and down Gu Ding several times.

"That's right, I'm Gu Ding." Gu Ding could naturally tell that the other party did not seem to like him very much. However, he also felt a little strange. He had not even refused to join the holy lands, so why was the other party's attitude like this?

"Why do you have a faint aura of the War God Tribe on you?" As soon as the strong man in golden armor said this, many people looked at him in surprise.

"Do I? Why can't we feel it? Does Gu Ding have the blood of the War God Tribe in his body? "Many people from the other holy lands began to whisper.

"Maybe it's because he just fought with the descendants of the War God Tribe in a higher dimension not long ago." Gu Ding's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that there had been a dead spirit of the War God Tribe hidden in the Icefire Mansion's Cultivation Tower — Opatu. Opatu was the guy he had subdued with the Dead Spirit Seal back in the Heinoas Burial Ground. After that, the guy had been cultivating in the Cultivation Tower.

The strong man in golden armor narrowed his eyes slightly and looked Gu Ding up and down again. He did not seem to find anything else. He just frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "His aura is almost so weak that it can't be detected. Even if his ancestor has the blood of the War God Tribe, I'm afraid it's so thin that it can't be of any use …"

"Alright, enough with the small talk. Let's get down to business! If there's anything you want to talk about in private, you can talk in private when we're done, "the woman sitting in the middle of the main seat said slowly. The woman sitting in the middle of the main seat spoke slowly. There was a string of tags hanging on her chest, and on it was a symbol that looked like a scale. Gu Ding and the others had been in the Main Plane for a few days. Naturally, they knew that this logo represented the Adjudicator Hall.

"I'm Black Orchid of the Seven Star Holy Land — Adjudicator Hall. I'm also one of the elders of the Adjudicator Hall. I'm now officially inviting you and your companions to join the Adjudicator Hall."

"I'm sorry, thank you for your invitation, Elder, but we can't join the Adjudicator Hall." Gu Ding did not even think about it and directly refused.

The other Seven Star Holy Lands were about to make the same request, but they were a little stunned when they heard Gu Ding's direct refusal.

"My young friend Gu Ding, do you have another choice in mind by refusing the Adjudicator Hall? If you haven't chosen a specific holy land, you can tell us your criteria. " Black Orchid was stunned at first, but then he thought that he might have been too anxious. He immediately softened his tone and asked.

"Elder Black Orchid, we were actually shocked and decided not to join any holy land." Gu Ding shook his head.

"Not joining a holy land? Why?!" Black Orchid's question was the question on the minds of many of the holy land emissaries present.

"Because we want to build an organization of our own. For most of the holy lands, once you join, the conditions to withdraw are quite harsh, and you can't even withdraw." Gu Ding shook his head and smiled.

"My young friend Gu Ding, the Misty Pavilion is willing to train you before you reach Great Perfection Lord-Level. When you want to build an organization, you can withdraw from the Misty Pavilion at will and form an alliance with us. Although the Misty Pavilion is only a Six Star Holy Land, in terms of resources and connections, I'm afraid there aren't many Six-star Holy Lands that can compare to us. " One of the emissaries from the Misty Pavilion was a woman with a purple veil. Her voice was clear and melodious.

As soon as she finished speaking, a white-haired old man smiled and said, "The Hidden Villa can give you the same conditions. My young friend, you can consider it."

"I'm sorry, seniors. Palace Master White mentioned the same conditions to me before. However, we are still free people who are used to freedom. Our decision is still not to join any holy land. Thank you for your love and appreciation … "Gu Ding bowed and said.

"Do you know that the incident you caused in the Selection Battlefield has angered everyone? If you don't choose a powerful holy land as your backer now, I'm afraid that in a few days, all the major holy lands will put up your wanted posters," the strong man in golden armor from the Ares Palace growled.

"Palace Master White warned us about this before, but our answer is still the same. We won't change it." Gu Ding's gaze was determined, and he still did not waver.

"Aren't you afraid of being wanted?" The strong man in golden armor frowned slightly.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. We've been Interstellar Pirates since our debut. Ever since we started in the Base Dimension, we've been hunted down almost every day. We're used to this kind of life. On the other hand, we're not used to choosing a quiet place and having someone actively provide us with cultivation resources. "Gu Ding shook his head and smiled.

"Interesting …" Hearing Gu Ding's words, the white-haired old man from the Hidden Villa smiled.

"I suggest you reconsider. Leave me my contact number. If you've thought it through in three days, you can call me." The woman from the Judgement Hall popped out a black card, which slowly fell into Gu Ding's palm.

Gu Ding looked down and saw that it was a business card. He did not say much and immediately put the business card into the Inventory.

Seeing this, the rest of the emissaries also popped out their business cards.

After the commotion, the emissaries left the conference hall.

Only Bai Zhan remained sitting where he was. He slowly poured the tea from the teapot into the teacup in front of him.

"Uncle Bai, do you have anything else to say?" Gu Ding looked at Bai Zhan with a smile.

Bai Zhan raised his teacup at Gu Ding from afar and drank it in one gulp. Then, he shook his head and smiled. "You, after all, still made such a decision in front of so many people … This cup of tea is a toast to you. I admire your courage!

"Also, before we part, I'll leave you with two words.

"First, run away as soon as possible. The further, the better!

"Second, don't kill the Saint-level pursuers. It doesn't matter even if you beat them up, but if you kill them, you'll really become enemies!

"Thank you, Uncle Bai. Gu Ding will remember!"

Gu Ding picked up the teacup beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.
