Chapter 449: Building a City (1)

When he saw Great Immortal Mi Lu, Immortal Lu Chi really thought that he was dreaming or hallucinating.

He did not even dare to shout loudly, afraid that he would shatter this beautiful illusion.

However, the moment Great Immortal Mi Lu rushed over and hugged him, he realized that everything was real.

Mi Lu was not dead. She had really found her way here.

After countless years, they had finally reunited again.

At this moment, Immortal Lord Lu Chi felt as if he was in a dream. The excitement and joy in his heart transformed into a deep hug.

Murong Xingqiao was sincerely happy for Great Immortal Mi Lu and Immortal Lu Chi when she saw them reunite. A touched smile surfaced on her face.

She left quietly, leaving the two of them to reunite. They had a lot to say after not seeing each other for so long.

Murong Xingqiao found Li Yu and told him about Great Immortal Mi Lu and Immortal Lu Chi.

After hearing this news, apart from being surprised, Li Yu was naturally happy for Great Immortal Mi Lu. The heavens indeed favored these loyal people.

Now that the lovers were reunited, it seemed like their trip was not in vain. If he could find Emperor Yu Mountain and obtain the Primordial Pearl, this trip would be complete.

“Alright, let the couple reunite properly. Let’s not disturb them tonight!” Li Yu said with a smile.

Everyone nodded with a smile. However, there was no day or night here, and it was easy to ignore the time.

However, as an outsider, Li Yu was still extremely sensitive to the passage of time.

After that, the natives of this valley gathered around Li Yu to express their gratitude to him and Zhong Yu. They were willing to listen to Li Yu’s arrangements, only hoping that they could restore the order and rules set by Uncle Li.

Li Yu left this matter to Zhong Yu.

Zhong Yu did not decline. This was her hometown, and the people here were her former relatives. Many had even lived here with her.

She hoped that this place could become better and that it could be peaceful forever.

However, she knew that since this place was on the Heavenly Dao Rankings, it was impossible to return to the past. This place would definitely welcome more and more outsiders.

For example, more and more people would come to visit the Wang family and the Mu family in the future.

In the past, this place was vast and sparsely populated. Everyone could rely on simple rules and verbal promises to maintain normal order.

However, although the increase in outsiders would definitely cause a storm here, there would also be many unnecessary disputes.

Therefore, Zhong Yu hoped that everyone could establish a city together and select highly respected people to form an Elder Council to manage this city and establish a unified faction.

Furthermore, this place would belong to the Qingyun Sect in the future.

As long as they belonged to the Qingyun Sect, most outsiders would probably restrain their greed and not dare to have any designs on this place. They would not cause trouble here and would obediently listen to arrangements and follow the rules.

All the rules of this city would be refined based on the order established by Uncle Li back then to formulate more perfect and detailed rules and regulations.

A series of rules would be set for the management and arrangements of outsiders.

According to Zhong Yu’s initial idea, he would establish a special cave abode and area to accept outsiders and provide them with a place to cultivate.

However, if outsiders wanted to cultivate here, they would have to pay a reasonable tax.

Half of the income was for the construction and management of the city, while the other half belonged to the Qingyun Sect.

Zhong Yu’s idea was unanimously agreed upon by the natives, and they even applauded.

They knew that Zhong Yu had a point.

Furthermore, they had just overthrown Hong Zun’s rule and oppression not long ago. They did not want to repeat the same mistake.

They were willing to submit to the experts and establish a stronger and better faction here to protect their home.

This was especially true for Zhong Yu’s idea of dealing with outsiders. It resolved their worries and established a plan that would benefit both of them.

Of course, Zhong Yu’s idea satisfied Li Yu. It coincided with his inner thoughts.

With the Qingyun Sect’s current strength and influence, it could definitely answer to a hundred voices in the myriad worlds. Many factions were willing to take the initiative to submit and follow his lead.

However, Li Yu was well aware that those were not his true minions. To be precise, those people were willing to listen to him only because he was powerful enough.

It was more for their own benefit.

Building a relationship based on benefits and deterrence was not that reliable.

Only a faction that he personally established and nurtured would truly belong to him and be loyal to him. He would become a unified entity with the Qingyun Sect and fight for the same ideals.

Therefore, Li Yu felt that he should begin nurturing and establishing his own faction in the myriad worlds.

In the future, if he wanted to rebuild the Heavenly Court and rule over the myriad worlds, relying on the Qingyun Sect alone was clearly not enough.

If he wanted to establish the true number one faction in the universe, he had to extend his hand into every corner of the universe.

This was his first hand stretched into the Nether Cloud Void.

The native experts here would become the strongest bones in his palm.

Of course, apart from establishing his own faction, he had another idea. He wanted to recruit the juniors of the various factions, especially the divine sons and elites of the various factions, young people who might become the rulers of the various factions in the future, into the Qingyun Sect.
