Both men looked at Zhao Hai with some confusion, wondering what he wanted to do with another seed. Zhao Hai smiled slightly, then with a flick of his hand, the seed transformed into a vine. This vine grew continuously, reaching over ten thousand meters in length before stopping. Zhao Hai then cast a spell on the vine, causing it to light up. He stretched out his hand and began to draw lines in the air, and the vine moved accordingly, constantly changing shape and forming runes. Soon, a magic array was formed, perfectly encasing Zhao Hai's towering tree within it.

After doing all that, Zhao Hai made a few more hand seals and launched the spell. As he did so, the magic array lit up, and the Sky-Supporting Tree disappeared the next moment.

After the towering tree disappeared, Zhao Hai turned to Song Lin and the others and said, "Let's go and see the others."

Feng Ling and Song Lin stared at the scene, and then Song Lin exclaimed, "Amazing! A magic array! I've noticed you have a lot of good stuff. What are these vines for?"

Zhao Hai laughed and said, "You mean these vines? These vines are actually very simple. They're just for setting up magic arrays. They're a little gadget I made. They don't have much use." As he spoke, he led the two of them forward.

They soon arrived at Lingzhu's place. As soon as Lingzhu and the others saw the three of them arrive, they were all waiting for them in their divine kingdoms. Zhao Hai stood in the void and bowed to the three of them, saying, "Greetings, you three. How have you been?"

All three smiled slightly, and then Lingzhu said, "You're too kind. We just talked on the phone, and nothing's wrong. By the way, what kind of magic array did you say you wanted to build? What do you mean?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Your divine kingdoms are all fixed here, which prevents you from leaving. I plan to set up a magic array outside your divine kingdoms to hide them. No one but yourselves will be able to find them, so you can travel around freely. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, the three of them were taken aback. Then, their eyes lit up. They knew that although this divine kingdom was their hope, it also trapped them here. How could they not want to leave? But if they left, their divine kingdom might become someone else's. This had become an unsolvable problem. So they could only stay there. Fortunately, they were cultivators with incredibly strong hearts and could endure loneliness. If they were ordinary people, they would probably have gone mad long ago.

However, being able to endure loneliness does not mean they are willing to endure it. They want to leave, but they simply have no way to do so. Therefore, they were naturally excited when they heard Zhao Hai say this.

Lingzhu immediately asked, "Is it really possible to do that? And what about you? Can you find our divine kingdom?"

Zhao Hai was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "I can't either. How about we sign a contract?"

Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Lingzhu and the others became excited. Lingzhu immediately said, "Okay, I agree. There's no need to sign a contract. With your abilities, you can gather enough materials to refine the divine kingdom in a short time. There's no need to focus on our divine kingdom. You can handle it."

The other two nodded as well. Zhao Hai smiled slightly and then took out the seeds of the Heavenly Vine. Soon, the magic array for the three of them was completed. Of course, he also made a compass for each of the three so that they could find their divine kingdom.

After finishing, Zhao Hai went to find other people and set up magic arrays in their places of residence. He also told them how to operate the magic arrays. Of course, he also set up one in the pine forest.

After they had all finished, Zhao Hai invited them all to his Sky-Supporting Tree. Everyone was astonished when they saw it. Zhao Hai, seeing their reactions, smiled and said, "This is the Sky-Supporting Tree, my residence. However, I only brought one. I invited you all here today to discuss another matter concerning the Underground Palace Flower. I gave one to Song Lin, and he's quite content with it. Feng Ling also mentioned that the Underground Palace Flower has strong commercial value, but we certainly can't sell many on our own. So, I'd like to ask for your help in selling them." Everyone was taken aback by Zhao Hai's words, then they all looked at him. Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Let's go to the entrance and show you what the Underground Palace Flower is, and then I'll ask you all to help me sell it." He then led everyone to the entrance of the Sky-Supporting Tree. With a wave of his hand, Zhao Hai tossed out a seed of the Underground Palace Flower. The seed landed on the ground and immediately transformed into a cylindrical space.

After the seeds transformed into a circular tube space, Zhao Hai led everyone inside for a tour. Afterward, instead of leaving, Zhao Hai sat down in the living room of the tube space and said, "This is the Underground Palace Flower. All the spaces here are identical. I just discussed it with Feng Ling, and we think one Underground Palace Flower can sell for 100,000 spirit stones. Here's my idea: I won't charge 100,000 spirit stones per flower, just 80,000. The remaining 20,000 spirit stones will be your reward. Of course, if you can sell more spirit stones, I won't charge more; I'll just charge 80,000 per flower. How about that?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard Zhao Hai say that, but then their eyes lit up. Feng Ling looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, are you serious? That's a lot of spirit stones."

Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "We are an alliance. I'll take the lion's share, and you can't take too little. Besides, our alliance won't disband just because we left the Black Sea. Can't you all see that now? Although we can all be immortal in the God Realm, the competition here is no less fierce than in the lower realms. If we can't unite, we might get captured. Shadow knew before that Jinbo betrayed his longtime friend for profit. And I think this is just the beginning. Don't forget what happened at the castle. The castle's divine kingdom was tampered with. If the Skeleton God wants to touch him one day, he might not even have a chance to fight back. What would happen if he were captured by the Skeleton God and couldn't die? Have you all thought about that? That would be even more terrifying than death."

Zhao Hai continued, "I think the reason why things are still so peaceful here in the Divine Kingdom is probably because people haven't discovered your true value yet. If one day someone discovers that capturing a god can help them increase their strength by exploiting the god's immortality, or using the god as an energy source, will we still have a good life? So I think we should maintain this alliance. We should take care of each other here in the Black Sea, and even more so when we go outside the Black Sea. Since we're all on the same side, there's no need for us to be polite anymore. Let's give everyone more benefits so that everyone can develop quickly, have their own Divine Kingdom, and then we can leave the Black Sea together. Of course, I'm not without other conditions; I have one more condition."

Everyone looked at Zhao Hai, waiting for him to continue. Zhao Hai looked at everyone's expressions and then said, "If one day we all get out of here, I ask everyone to help me deal with the God of Creation and the Seven Deadly Sins. Even if we can't capture them all, we should at least make sure they never dare to mess with me again. What do you say?"

After hearing Zhao Hai's words, everyone exchanged glances. Then Ling Zhu spoke up, "Alright, we agree." The others all nodded in agreement. For them, helping Zhao Hai fight the God of Creation was a matter for the future. Besides, if they really went out into the future, helping Zhao Hai fight the God of Creation wouldn't be a big deal. But now, as long as they agreed to Zhao Hai's request, they would receive huge benefits. Only a fool wouldn't do it.

These people weren't fools; they all saw the potential of the Underground Palace Flower. It was indeed a valuable item, and many people in the Black Sea region would need it. Of course, they might not have the spirit stones, but they could exchange them. Think about it: would they exchange two pieces of soil for an Underground Palace Flower? They definitely would. The Black Sea region was vast, and no one knew exactly how many people lived there. In short, the Underground Palace Flower would sell very well.

When Zhao Hai heard that everyone agreed, he smiled and said, "Alright, it's settled then. I'll give each of you one underground palace flower, and then I'll give each of you ten more. After you've sold all those underground palace flowers, come back to me to get new ones, how about that?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard Zhao Hai say this, but then they all nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "Good, it's settled then." After saying that, Zhao Hai gave each of them eleven seeds of the underground palace flower, except for the pine forest which only had ten.

After everyone received the seeds, they left immediately. Once they returned to their residences, people like Lingzhu moved their divine kingdoms to new locations. Of course, they couldn't let their divine kingdoms remain in their original places; otherwise, what would be the point of hiding them?

After Lingzhu and the others moved their divine kingdoms to a different location, they all took out the Underground Palace Flowers and released them to live inside. Even those of Lingzhu and the others who already had the beginnings of a divine kingdom were no exception. After all, their divine kingdoms were still too small, and compared to the space inside the Underground Palace Flowers, their divine kingdoms were not as comfortable to live in.

Zhao Hai wasn't surprised at all; he just found it somewhat amusing. Did Ling Zhu and the others think that just because they switched the locations of their divine kingdoms, he wouldn't be able to find them? But even if he did find them, it wouldn't matter. He didn't intend to touch Ling Zhu's divine kingdoms, so even if he knew about their actions, he would simply pretend not to know. (End of Chapter)
