Chapter 450: Building a City (2)
This way, it could strengthen the bond between the Qingyun Sect and the various factions.
“Master, what do you think?” Zhong Yu looked at Li Yu.
“Very good. Zhong Yu, you’re more familiar with this place. Stay behind for the time being and put your thoughts into practice!” Li Yu said with a smile.
“Yes, I will not disappoint Master!” Zhong Yu said happily.
She was happy that Li Yu could trust her, and she was even happier to help her former hometown and friends build a bad home.
It could allow them to live in peace in this paradise forever.
Zhong Yu quickly gathered everyone in the valley and began to discuss and formulate the city’s construction plan.
“Zhong Yu, I plan to stay here with your brother-in-law in the future!” Great Immortal Mi Lu suddenly said.
Back then, she had planned to live in seclusion here with Immortal Lu Chi. Now that they had finally arrived and reunited, she did not plan to leave.
“Sure, with you around in the future, I can even help the sect master manage this place!” Zhong Yu said with a smile.
This was indeed the best home for Great Immortal Mi Lu. Furthermore, it would be convenient for her to help Li Yu supervise this place in the future.
After that, under everyone’s brainstorming, the specific plan was quickly formulated. The city was named Immortal Cloud City.
Furthermore, the first-generation Elder Council, headed by Great Immortal Mi Lu and Snow Venerable, was elected as the future top management organization of Immortal Cloud City.
......After that, other management departments were set up one after another. Candidates were selected according to their cultivation level. Then, the person in charge of the various departments would be chosen through a vote.
Murong Xingqiao and Tai Ri provided a lot of valuable experience during this process. After all, Murong Xingqiao controlled the Mystic Bird Palace and its many subsidiary cities in her previous life.
Although Tai Ri did not establish his own faction, he was knowledgeable and knew a lot, so he helped fill in many crucial details.
Everything went smoothly. After the various rules, order, and functions of the Immortal Cloud City were confirmed, everyone prepared to begin construction.
It was not difficult for cultivators to build a city that could accommodate a million people.
The construction of the city began soon. The city that was to be built here was different from the cities in the mortal world. It was not the kind of city with houses and intersecting streets.
This city was more like the structure of a sect.
“Hehe, greetings, City Lord Zhong!” Wang Lin arrived beside Zhong Yu and bowed with a flattering expression.
He learned that a city was about to be built here, and it belonged to Li Yu’s Qingyun Sect. As the City Lord, Zhong Yu would have to obtain the Qingyun Sect’s approval if he wanted to cultivate in this blessed land in the future.
“What’s the matter?” Zhong Yu asked seriously.
“I heard that a city is being built here. My Wang family wants to contribute to Emperor Yu and this place!” Wang Lin said with a smile.
Zhong Yu nodded when she heard Wang Lin’s words. She did need manpower. After all, it would be faster to build the city with more people.
“Hmm, alright. In that case, your Wang family can assist in the extraction of wood!” Zhong Yu said.
“Alright, alright. City Lord, please let us know if you need anything!” Wang Lin was overjoyed.
He was well aware that as long as they could contribute to this construction, their Wang family would have a chance to have a place to stay in Immortal Cloud City in the future.
After receiving the order, Wang Lin excitedly gathered the Wang family and began to assist in the extraction of the wood.
After that, the Mu family ran over to pay their respects to Zhong Yu and also expressed their hope to contribute to the construction of the city.
However, they also mentioned an additional condition that they hoped would allow the Mu family to cultivate here in the future.
This displeased Zhong Yu. The Mu family kept saying that they wanted to repay the favor and were willing to submit to Li Yu and work for him. However, they had yet to do anything before discussing conditions. The Mu family seemed to be too eager for quick success and were quite hypocritical.
Even if the Wang family was also feigning civility, they were at least willing to take action.
In fact, Zhong Yu had already decided that since the Wang family took the initiative to help this time, she would provide their family with a free cultivation place in the city in the future.
“We have enough manpower now, so there’s no need to trouble your Mu family. In the future, Immortal Cloud City can accept outsiders to cultivate here, but you will have to pay a tax. The exact price will be announced later!” Zhong Yu said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Mu He’s expression changed as he immediately reacted. He was indeed a little anxious just now. He should not have raised the condition right away.
For a moment, he felt a little awkward. He cupped his hands with a bitter smile. “An additional person is an additional help. We…”
Before Mu He could finish his sentence, Zhong Yu flew away.
She felt that if the Mu family was really sensible, they should take the initiative to work by themselves. After all, no one was restricting their actions.
If they were unwilling to help, they could forget about cultivating here for free.
Seeing Zhong Yu leave, Mu He’s expression turned even uglier. He knew that he had been too foolish.
“Master, let’s take the initiative to help. As long as we’re doing something, Sect Master Li will definitely see it. Since we want to work for Cultivator Li, we have to show our sincerity!” A Mu family member said.
Mu He fell silent. He really wanted to slap himself twice. How could he say such stupid things just now?
He said that he wanted to repay the favor and serve, but he immediately asked for benefits. Even if a saint encountered such a person, he would be annoyed.
“Come, let’s help too!” Mu He said. He felt that regardless of whether they could stay in the end, he could at least show Li Yu their sincerity.
With the addition of the Wang family and the Mu family, the construction speed of the Immortal Cloud City instantly increased significantly.
“Zhong Yu, I’ll leave this place to you for the time being!” Li Yu prepared to bring everyone to Emperor Yu Mountain first.
“Alright, have a safe journey, Master!” Zhong Yu bowed with cupped hands. She knew that with Li Yu’s strength, no danger in the Nether Cloud Void could threaten him.
Therefore, even without him leading the way, they could still successfully find Emperor Yu Mountain.
Li Yu nodded, and then he left the Immortal Cloud Mystic Realm with Murong Xingqiao, Tai Ri, and Ritian.
With the system’s notification, he had roughly locked onto the location of Emperor Yu Mountain. As long as he searched in that direction, he would definitely find it.
As he advanced, Li Yu realized that the number of Devouring Clouds here had clearly decreased. Furthermore, after the Devouring Clouds encountered Li Yu, they fled into the void to hide.
Clearly, Li Yu had successfully intimidated the entire Nether Cloud Void.
The Immortal Realm’s mystic realm was not close to Emperor Yu Mountain. It took Li Yu almost three days to find it.
The so-called Emperor Yu Mountain was also a vast continent.
The continent was a little like a disc floating in the Nether Cloud Void as if it was floating with those clouds.
This continent was magical. The terrain on both sides was almost identical. From afar, it was like a shadow reflected on the water.
Only by looking carefully could one notice the difference in details.
In fact, in the Nether Cloud Void, these two sides could be called the earth, and the sky above them could be called the sky.
An extremely magnificent mountain peak stood in the middle of the continent.
The mountain peak looked like an extraordinary god from afar. It stood between the heavens and the earth, majestic and domineering.
The ground on both sides was covered in lush vegetation. It was filled with vitality, and strange flowers and trees could be seen everywhere. The scenery was not inferior to the Nine-tailed Mountain at all.
When he saw this continent, Li Yu did feel a sense of familiarity, as if he had once dreamed of this place.
Perhaps these were some of the memories engraved in his blood.
“This place is so strange!” Tai Ri’s face was filled with surprise. This was the first time he had seen such an interesting continent.
However, just as Li Yu saw Emperor Yu Mountain, the system interface popped up in front of him.
It was an introduction to Emperor Yu Mountain.
It turned out that Emperor Yu Mountain was originally a strange stone floating in the Primordial Chaos. Later on, it was brought back by Li Yu’s previous life.
It was embedded into the Primordial World and became a strange mountain.
Later on, Li Yu’s previous life became the true emperor of the human race. After he stood at the peak of the world, he carved it into its current appearance.
He refined it into a magic treasure and built a blessed land.
However, the system did not describe why Emperor Yu Mountain appeared here.
‘So it’s the masterpiece of my previous life. No wonder this continent looks like a spinning top from afar.’
