Chapter 850: City Demarcation Rules

Chapter 850 - City Demarcation Rules

The set of rules were quite straightforward.

First, there was a limit on how much land each person could take. If this limit wasn't imposed, some groups would literally try to take the entire south of the island to themselves.

Second, killing was expressly prohibited in Freedom Island. If you killed someone, you would be killed back unless you were confident you could run away from this place. However, it would be pointless to run since everyone's idea was to stay.

Third, if you wanted the same land as someone else, both would have to decide who would take it based on luck. Strength would not be the main factor. The idea was to create a city, and battles would definitely delay everything.

There were more rules, but these three were the main ones. However, most of them stopped reading here.

"This..." Everyone was especially surprised by the second and third rules. For cultivators who lived their lives fighting for what they wanted, such peaceful methods were not something they were used to. "Doesn't that make the Nascent Soul and Soul Transformation Realm cultivators here the same as any Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator?"

Malo nodded, though he clarified, "Not really. Check rule number nine."

Everyone quickly sent their Spiritual Senses inside the jade slips to look for it.

-The order of selection of lands will work from the strongest cultivators to the weakest. Low-level cultivators wouldn't be able to develop better quality lands since they lack the resources for it. Nevertheless, everyone will have a chance to get land in Freedom City. It's just that low-level cultivators will only be able to select it later.-

Naturally, the Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were very pleased with that. "That's more like it."

Malo nodded as well, saying, "This way, you will have the chance to select the things you want. Even if someone chooses the same land as you, you don't need to worry about running out of 'better' lands, as you all say. After all, only when those above finished selecting their lands will the others be able to choose. Also, the higher your cultivation, the bigger sized land you can take."

Of course, the Foundation Establishment cultivators and those a little above it didn't like the rule at all. However, Malo already expected that, saying, "Before anyone says it's not fair, you must understand that the world isn't fair to start with. Even so, these rules were made like this because we need the city to develop as fast as possible. It won't be long before many Zasfin airships carrying batches of humans start to arrive in Wringan Continent. Once that time comes, the city needs to have at least some structure that can support them."

Falas also added, "Don't forget, even though the low-level cultivators can't select first, they're still much better than any other humans who arrive at a later date. To be honest, I think everyone here will most likely live in what will be called the central regions of the city in the future. After all, there are just a few thousand cultivators here, far from enough for what a place like Freedom City will become."

Malo then crossed his arms before finishing, "Last but not least, anyone who doesn't like these rules is more than welcome to leave the island. We aren't forcing anyone of you to stay. Don't forget, Wringan Continent is enormous, and there's no lack of space there."

Suddenly, many cultivators from the Freedom Sect arrived in the region. "Sect Master Malo, we're ready."

The cultivators looked at the new group with confusion. However, Malo ignored them before giving his orders. "Good! You can start now."

Soon after, the Freedom Sect members separated in several directions while using markers to divide the land according to what Malo's group decided. One must remember that the Freedom Sect arrived a few days ago, so the problem with Freedom City's future had been going on since then. Malo didn't bother leaving the sect before he and the others formulated a plan of action.

The sect members below were all at the Core Formation Realm at the very least, so they worked very quickly. In just a few minutes, the areas mentioned by the cultivators before already had their areas marked into many squares. The biggest sections were obviously the ones the high-level cultivators would be able to select for themselves. After that, the further the Freedom Sect members went out of the main areas, the smaller the squares available for selection became.

As the cultivators from the Freedom Sect worked, Malo took the opportunity to talk a little more about the plans made by him and the others. "The high-level cultivators who select the bigger areas, you will have the duty to develop it. If you just select some big land for yourself and do nothing with it, we will definitely take it back. If your idea is to simply live in Freedom City and close to the Freedom Sect, I recommend getting terrain in the residential area. There, you can also find big and small lands that can be selected according to your cultivation."

Someone looked at the divisions marked by the Freedom Sect cultivators and couldn't help but ask, "I'm happy enough with these rulers since I can get something good for myself. However, why are there such big gaps between each of the bigger terrains?"

Falas and Malo looked at the guy as if he was an idiot. In fact, quite a few did the same. Still, Malo answered, "Have you ever seen a city without roads? We took that into consideration and decided to leave space for very big roads to be made. In the future, when this place becomes full of people, those roads will play a crucial role in the city's development."

The guy scratched the back of his head and didn't ask anymore.

Malo didn't end there and made everyone go through the jade slips' rules, explaining every one of them with Falas's help.

Fizer and Rean were quite satisfied with how Malo, Falas, and the others dealt with this rule, so they didn't intervene. Later, Rean would give his advice based on the cities he lived in back on Earth.

"Oh, right!" Rean then looked at Malo and said, "Give me the jade slip with the demarcations of the city."

Malo nodded and passed it to Rean. Soon after, Rean used his Spiritual Sense to mark the lands he would need for the Communication System formations. "I need you to keep these spaces free so that I can build the Router Formations later."

"Alright. That's an easy task." Malo immediately agreed since he already knew of Rean's communication system.

Rean was satisfied and left that task for Malo and the others to resolve. Following that, he called all the cultivators' attention and said, "Everyone, I have something to ask you all. Is there anyone here with experience in Formations, Alchemy, Blacksmith, Talismans, or other side occupations? The sect will need your service, so you can join straight away in that case."

Sure enough, most cultivators who lived in the Demon Beast Continent haven't worked on those things too much before. Nevertheless, Rean still received a few calls.

"I'm an Earth Middle-level Formation Master."

"I'm an Earth High-level Alchemist."

"Earth Initial-level Talisman Master. I don't know if this is enough."

"I'm also a Formation Master..."

Rean smiled and immediately gathered all those people before returning to the sect. He had a lot of work in store for them.
