Su Yuan looked at Jiuqing with a strange expression.
"Job allowance?" Su Yuan asked, puzzled.
The Lord of the Nine Pure said, "Such a large city needs soone to manage it. What do you all think?"
Su Yuan inquired, "How do you plan to set it up, then?"
"I think we can establish a City Lord, four Deputy City Lords for the east, west, south, and north, and several other managent positions," the Lord of the Nine Pure said casually.
The Lord of the Nine Void narrowed his eyes and asked, "So, you plan to be the City Lord?"
"No, I'll just be a Deputy City Lord! The City Lord should naturally be the strongest person here!"
The Lord of the Nine Pure looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan raised an eyebrow. "You want to be this City Lord?"
The Netherdark Dao Venerable's eyes shifted, and he said, "That works! I'll also just be a Deputy City Lord!"
Su Yuan couldn't help but find it both amusing and exasperating. Right now, the city had, at most, four people, and they were already planning city governnt positions. It was truly laughable.
"Then I'll graciously accept without further refusal!" Su Yuan said casually. "In the future, whoever is stronger than can challenge to beco the City Lord. The sa goes for the Deputy City Lord positions!"
"That works too!"
Several more years passed, and the Lord of the Nine Separation also arrived, joining Daochu City and taking a Deputy City Lord position.
With that, all four Deputy City Lord positions were filled.
Afterwards, people ca to Daochu City one after another.
Those Dao Lords who had escaped from the hands of Dao Venerables like the Lord of the Nine Nether and the Lord of the Nine Pure also rushed over one by one and joined Daochu City.
Within the city, these people all received the protection of the Causality Stele, and all Dao Lords abided by the rules inscribed upon it.
By now, several more rules had been added to the Causality Stele, and Daochu City was becoming increasingly well-established.
When the wave of Dao Lord arrivals subsided, a total of forty-three Dao Lords had gathered within Daochu City!
This number even exceeded the expectations of Netherdark and the others.
With forty-three Dao Lords gathered, Daochu City's defensive capabilities reached a staggering height, sufficient to withstand attacks from fifth-stage or even sixth-stage Dao Lords. This finally allowed all the Dao Lords to feel at ease.
Dao Venerable Jieng also arrived. He found Su Yuan's courtyard and ca specifically to express his gratitude.
"Brother Seven Stars, thank you for our previous transaction. It allowed my strength to increase!" Dao Venerable Jieng said gratefully.
"I rely conducted a transaction," Su Yuan said with a chuckle.
He continued, "Fellow Daoist Jieng, there are so official positions within Daochu City now. You are already a third-stage Dao Lord. You could strive to secure a position."
Upon hearing this, Dao Venerable Jieng shook his head. "Currently, there are only five official positions in the city. The four Deputy City Lords are all controlled by veteran Dao Venerables. Their strength far surpasses mine. Unless I can advance another step, I am simply no match for them at the sa level!"
Su Yuan smiled. "I believe in your potential, Fellow Daoist. In so ti, you will surely master a fourth Dao Principle!"
"I appreciate your auspicious words, Brother Seven Stars!"
Dao Venerable Jieng continued, "I've gotten to know a few Dao Lords recently. They also wish to conduct transactions with you, Brother. I wonder if you are willing?"
"Oh?" Su Yuan was puzzled. "They can just list them on the Transaction Platform. I'll buy Dao Artifacts without limit!"
"These friends of mine also wish to get to know you, Brother, through the transaction," Dao Venerable Jieng explained.
Hearing this, Su Yuan nodded. "No problem!"
So, Dao Venerable Jieng sent a ssage, summoning his friends.
Soon, three Dao Lords entered Su Yuan's courtyard.
Su Yuan was surprised to discover that all three were second-stage Dao Lords, each having mastered two Dao Principles. Their strength was not weak at all!
"These three are Dao Lord Cihang, Dao Lord Wuzhuang, and Dao Lord Zhushan!" Dao Venerable Jieng introduced.
Su Yuan offered a gentle smile. "I heard the three of you wish to conduct a transaction with ?"
The three who entered exchanged glances. Then, the female Dao Lord Cihang spoke up. "Yes. The three of us discovered a treasure land nurturing a Great Dao Fruit Tree. However, a fourth-stage Chaos Phantom is guarding it! We plan to invite Dao Venerable Seven Stars to join us in attacking, defeat that Chaos Phantom, and obtain that fruit tree together!"
Su Yuan was sowhat surprised upon hearing this.
No wonder they wanted to et him in person. The treasure hadn't been obtained yet.
"Are you sure it's a Great Dao-level fruit tree?" Su Yuan asked.
"Absolutely!" Dao Lord Cihang nodded. "Under normal circumstances, such a tree would have long since broken through to the Dao Lord level. But the suppression of the Dao Realm has kept this tree as just a tree. The Dao Principle power contained within the tree has condensed one by one into its fruits!"
Dao Lord Cihang paused before continuing, "The three of us luckily bypassed the Chaos Phantom's guard, each plucking a fruit to consu. Afterwards, we all smoothly reached the second-stage Dao Lord level!"
Now, even Su Yuan was astonished. He hadn't expected a fruit tree at the Dao Lord level could be nurtured within the Dao Realm.
Beside them, Dao Venerable Jieng exclaid in admiration, "These Dao Principles are extrely useful for a Dao Lord's cultivation. A single fruit would be worth several trillion Dao Source, no question. They sought my help, but I'm only third-stage. Against a fourth-stage Chaos Phantom, I'd have no chance of winning. That's why I specifically ca to seek Brother Seven Stars' help!"
Su Yuan pondered for a mont before saying, "I'll take on this matter!"
Dao Venerable Jieng's expression brightened with joy. "When does Brother plan to set off?"
Su Yuan said, "Anyti is fine!"
"In that case, let's act imdiately!" Dao Venerable Jieng looked at Cihang. "Tell us the location. After we retrieve the fruits, we will give you generous compensation."
Dao Lord Cihang said, "We also plan to go together. Although we may not be of much help, we can at least bolster your presence!"
Dao Venerable Jieng looked at Su Yuan.
Su Yuan nodded. "In that case, let's all go together!"
The action plan was very straightforward.
Su Yuan then led the group, swiftly traversing the Dao Realm. After bypassing the territories of many Chaos Phantoms, they finally saw their target.
In the distance, an ancient tree pierced the clouds, its branches directly thrusting into the network of Dao Principles in the deep sky. It directly absorbed those Dao Principles, then transported them one by one to various parts of its body, especially to the thirty-three fruits hanging from the tree.
Su Yuan was shocked. This was possible?
Directly obtaining Dao Principles from the Heavenly Dao network to generate fruits? What difference was there between this and robbing the Heavenly Dao?
But the Heavenly Dao was emotionless, operating according to set procedures. This fruit tree had no sentience and was not under the Heavenly Dao's supervision!
It seed the Heavenly Dao only restricted foreign Dao Lords. It had little restraining power over the trees originally existing within the Dao Realm. No one had expected an ancient tree would grow directly into the Heavenly Dao itself.
Looking at those fruits, Su Yuan also felt intense desire. These fruits were simply too useful for comprehending Dao Principles!
