"The Association's management of its members is quite lax," Cultivator Shen Yu said with a smile. "Moreover, from the Association's standpoint, whether you're a lower-level member or a higher-level member, power and personal status are the same. There's no discrimination based on strength."

"Oh?" Qingfeng True Master was a bit surprised by this.

This kind of force was unheard of.

"Such a system, naturally, has both advantages and drawbacks. The advantage is, as members, we can enjoy the benefits of the Association and act with near-complete freedom. Aside from the core rules, we're subject to no restrictions. As for the downside, although it avoids interference from powerful members within the Association, it likewise makes it difficult to gain help from senior figures," Cultivator Shen Yu seemed somewhat reflective. "Even if the world-ending calamity is as cruel as can be, leading to failure and the complete extinction of human ethics, you must bear the burden yourself."

"This place is truly hard to fathom," Qingfeng True Master gazed at the gray mist before him, then at the various puppets rapidly accelerating their construction — growing ever more curious.

Cultivators pursue the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life not only for power and status, but also to chase after all things that interest them.

Otherwise, what meaning would longevity hold?

To put it in more modern terms: it's not just about length of life, but also its quality!

Clearly, the All Heavens End-of-the-World Civilization Mutual Aid Association, for such cultivators, not only satisfies the former, but is also quite attractive for the latter.

Here, there are many things never before heard of.

Even more grand than the so-called cosmos.

And all the more worthy of anticipation.

"Although it's hard to meet stronger higher-level members, members of the same level are excluded from that rule, and I do have some friends," Cultivator Shen Yu continued, "The special 'Dao Fruit of Eternal Life' I now possess was acquired from another friend within the Association; otherwise, how could it be about 'mutual aid'? And if I've obtained the Star River Dao Fruit, I'll likewise share with others."

"The Dao Fruit of Eternal Life can be shared as well?" Qingfeng True Master was astonished, not knowing how many times he had been shocked and awed today.

Standing before such a force that shattered all previous concepts, the changes in Heavenly Dao and the chaos of the demon cultivators seemed far less terrifying.

Sometimes, looking at things from a higher perspective, matters of the past become truly insignificant.

However, one's perspective can be lofty, yet when dealing with practical problems, one must still keep their feet on the ground.

Cultivator Shen Yu again inquired about some matters regarding the Star River Technique; he couldn't have accepted a master for nothing. Every bit of knowledge gained could greatly reduce the resources needed to breakthrough.

And it wasn't just knowledge, but resources as well.

Upon asking about the resources required to break through to the True Master Realm in the Star River Technique, Cultivator Shen Yu didn't stand on ceremony at all and immediately requested them from the Mingyun Immortal Sect, using his breakthrough quota as justification.

The Mingyun Immortal Sect, of course, agreed without reservation.

Within just a few days, they produced a considerable quantity of rare resources to help construct this world.

And especially after discovering that this world was continuously expanding, they became all the more enthusiastic.

Various important grand arrays were all being prepared for installation.

This made Cultivator Shen Yu's mind brim with new ideas.

"This particular world may be newly created," Cultivator Shen Yu went directly to the Mingyun Sect Master, "but its potential is boundless. Moreover, the issue of Taoist Rhyme is easily resolved — as long as someone achieves breakthrough here, I'll record the Taoist Rhyme; those who follow and cultivate the same cultivation technique will find it dozens of times easier, even hundreds of times easier!"

"It's really like this?"

The Mingyun Sect Master was no fool — he was already vaguely recognizing the level of this world.

Though now this world appears small, who knows if one day it might become an actual cosmos!

If so, its importance would be truly inexpressible.

If the Mingyun Immortal Sect should fall and perish in some great tribulation, escaping to this place could provide a perfect foundation for a new sect!

More importantly, the Mingyun Sect Master was already vaguely guessing what this extraordinary Association member was preparing to say.

As expected.

Cultivator Shen Yu didn't waste words and said bluntly, "If it's just me alone, I could never bring forth the true potential of this world. So, I'm planning to imitate other members and lease this world out — just as in mortal cities, the city itself belongs to me, but shops and houses within can be leased or bought and sold. Mingyun Immortal Sect, are you interested?"

"Friend, you're joking," The Mingyun Sect Master bowed respectfully to Cultivator Shen Yu, "This is the foundation of everything!"

Indeed — how could anyone refuse such a proposition!

The Mingyun Sect Master understood clearly, that even compared to the whole cosmos, and certainly within the Yellow One Great World, Mingyun Sect was far from powerful.

To secure a treasure land here ahead of others right now was thanks entirely to Qingfeng True Master's visit that day!

Once the Star River Immortal Sect's Sect Leader arrives, even if only the head of a branch, Mingyun Sect's status would instantly be downgraded.

If in such circumstances he refused this opportunity, he'd at once become the criminal of the entire Mingyun Immortal Sect!

Cultivator Shen Yu was unsurprised by this reaction.

He said directly, "Then I'll mark out an area for Mingyun Sect. As for the exact rules and rental fees, those can be discussed over time. For now, let me be clear — in my domain, there's to be no mutual slaughter and no construction of any lethal cultivation techniques; all rewards and punishments of good and evil are at my discretion, which is the law of Heavenly Dao."

As his words fell, the whole world suddenly resounded with a thunderous boom.

Everyone could distinctly sense an intangible rule forming.

Even though the Mingyun Sect Master had already deeply felt the power and mystery of this place these past few days, he was still appalled at this moment.

Heavenly Dao Rules!

This world may be small, and the Taoist Rhyme just sensed may not be strong, but even so, it is still Taoist Rhyme!

It is the Heavenly Dao Rules imposed by the one before him.

Does this not mean that, in this world, this person is the Heavenly Dao?

In fact, it is just so.

These past days, as Cultivator Shen Yu was setting up this world, the other Shen Yus weren't idle either.

Especially Wizard Shen Yu.

He referenced the Divine Authority of his own world and, with the aid of some gray mist, had managed to produce something akin to Divine Authority.

By leveraging their link to this world, they could set up simple rules.

This is, actually, not an extraordinary rule.

It is the effect of the Divine Authority holder imposing their will to control the extraordinary power in this world to a certain degree.

After all, those divine spirits can even manipulate at will within their Divine Authority's domain.

Not to mention, they are truly this world's Creator!

The rule just set was a unanimous decision made by all the Shen Yus.

It's just that only he had the need to manifest at this moment, so the timing of the rule's formation was left to him.

In some sense, the changes taking place right now in the Immortal Cultivation World might well be exactly the same!

And as Cultivator Shen Yu felt the impact, he couldn't help thinking,

When the gray mist is sufficient, it's probably best that each Shen Yu separately creates his own world.

After all, it's not certain that every Shen Yu can always agree, and the management approaches of different worlds and civilizations are all unique.

For now, having just this one world is already enough.

The Mingyun Sect Master, after the initial shock, bowed in response.

"I will strictly follow your decree!"

His attitude toward Cultivator Shen Yu changed repeatedly.

But at this moment, his heart was filled more with excitement than anything else.

Opportunity — this is truly opportunity!

If it weren't for his limited understanding of the Association and his wariness to stake everything, he might already be thinking of relocating the Mingyun Immortal Sect's core over here.

Soon after, Cultivator Shen Yu once again proposed using lease payments to exchange for the resources to breakthrough to True Master, and the Mingyun Sect Master immediately began making arrangements.
