As the Earth Deity suspended in midair auctioned off the final centerpiece treasure.
The second round of bidding at the Shoreless Shore Trade Convention also came to an end.
"Fellow Daoists and seniors, the second round of bidding at Shoreless Shore has now concluded.
"Next comes the third segment of the trade convention: the commission segment.
"During commission trading, everyone present may trade freely. You may also issue commission tasks through Shoreless Shore.
"Furthermore, any fellow Daoists or seniors wishing to leave may head to the outskirts of Shoreless Shore and depart at any time!"
As the Earth Deity continued speaking, the platform beneath everyone's feet suddenly began to tremble slightly.
Amid the platform's vibrations, intense spatial fluctuations surged up from the distant edges.
Through those spatial fluctuations, stairways of clouds could clearly be seen stretching endlessly downward.
Each cloud stairway led to a different destination.
Of course, for the cultivators present, whichever cloud stairway they stepped onto would return them to where they had come from.
The cloud stairways contained the laws of space. Their transmission relied on the unique tokens of Shoreless Shore held by everyone.
This also meant that the cultivators present could choose any direction in which to depart.
And leaving was not the same as entering.
Departing Shoreless Shore would not return one precisely to the original location.
Only to the general area.
It was not that Shoreless Shore could not manage it. This was done to prevent cultivators attending the trade convention from being ambushed and targeted.
After all, if the participants' safety could not be guaranteed to a certain extent, the Shoreless Shore Trade Convention would find it difficult to continue for long.
As the Earth Deity's voice rang out, figures in the crowd rose one after another and headed toward the outskirts.
