Chapter 360: Stepping Down as Saint Master! The Short Video App is Launched!
Ye Chen’s grand entertainnt plan for the immortal realm had trendous potential for success. However, progress had to be made step by step. The imdiate priority was to finalize the functions of the short video app.
After finishing his communication with the Foreign Affairs Elder, Ye Chen imrsed himself in cultivation and studying the Nine Secrets while simultaneously developing and refining the app’s features.
Gu Yunyun and Gu Xun’er often visited the Sacred Land to spend a few days with Ye Chen. Both won were eagerly looking forward to their wedding two years later, even starting to prepare the ceremonial robes they would wear on that day.
Aside from the two won from the Gu family, the Jade Pond Saint Master frequently dropped by the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, whether she had a reason or not.
She remained as proud and self-assured as ever, like a regal white swan. However, her relationship with Ye Chen’s master, Nangong Wan, grew surprisingly close.
Every visit, she brought gifts, quickly raising her favorability with Nangong Wan.
During a private conversation with Ye Chen, the typically confident Jade Pond Saint Master showed an unusual shyness.
She revealed her intention to step down as the Jade Pond Saint Master and asked for Ye Chen’s opinion on the matter.
Ye Chen was montarily stunned.
The Jade Pond Saint Master planned to step down?
It wasn’t uncommon in the cultivation world for Saint Masters to relinquish their positions. Although the role carried significant power and access to resources, it also ca with imnse responsibilities. For cultivators, advancing in cultivation was always the ultimate goal.
Many historical Saint Masters chose to step down and focus on breaking through to higher realms, as prolonged seclusion for cultivation — sotis lasting years or even decades — was a necessity.
For instance, the Elder of Ye Chen’s Sacred Land had been in seclusion for nearly a century. A Sacred Land couldn’t afford to be without its leader for such a long ti, making resignation a natural decision.
The Jade Pond Saint Master was currently at the late Nascent Soul Realm. Could it be that she had sensed an opportunity to advance to the Deity Transformation Realm?
Still, what did her breakthrough or resignation have to do with him?
Why was she seeking his approval?
Unable to fully comprehend the Saint Master’s peculiar logic, Ye Chen nevertheless saw this as a good developnt and congratulated her with a smile.
Hearing his response, the Jade Pond Saint Master blushed and smiled shyly, her beauty dazzling. Seemingly embarrassed, she quickly excused herself and left.
Watching her graceful and curvaceous figure fade into the distance, Ye Chen couldn’t help but feel baffled.
Why is she acting so bashful?
Admittedly, her shy deanor paired with her breathtaking beauty was pleasing to the eye. However, recalling her previously over-the-top, self-obsessed remarks, Ye Chen shook his head.
She might be stunning, but unfortunately, she had a mouth on her.
anwhile, outside the Sacred Land, the market for the Little Spirit Communicator was booming as more factions received production licenses. These devices ca in a wide variety of types, ranging from low-grade magic artifacts to high-grade Dao artifacts, with diverse functions:
Protective spell versions.
Offensive spell versions.
Escape spell versions.
The options were endless.
Following the popularity of the triple-function supre model produced by the Heartforge Sacred Land, other factions began releasing cheaper imitations.
Since there were no patent or copyright laws in the cultivation world, counterfeiting was rampant.
However, the Heartforge Sacred Land didn’t react much to the piracy, as they had already launched a high-end customization service.
This allowed cultivators to order magic artifacts above the treasure grade with integrated communicator functions tailored to their specific needs.
Though expensive, the service beca an instant hit on the Immortal Net’s microblogging platform, with nurous high-level cultivators placing orders, bringing the Heartforge Sacred Land substantial profits.
Cultivators’ creativity seed endless.
A sect for female cultivators introduced necklace-shaped communicators with dazzling designs, attracting countless female custors. Similarly, bracelet, headband, and earring versions began appearing in shops across the realm, adding to the product variety and fueling the market’s growth.
This trend sparked a frenzy not just in Mingwang Province but also in Great Yan Province, triggering waves of device upgrades.
The Heavenly Origin Pavilion, after exiting the sales business, accelerated its pace of opening new branches. Every two or three days, a new branch would open.
By now, it covered dozens of immortal cities in Mingwang Province, providing real-na authentication services for billions of cultivators and enabling them to use most of the communicator’s functions beyond simple communication.
Under the widespread adoption of the Immortal Net, Mingwang Province began to undergo significant transformations.

In Yuxu Immortal City, a young man nad Shi Haoran stared at the ring on his finger, his youthful face brimming with excitent.
At long last, he had managed to buy a Little Spirit Communicator. Although it was an entry-level model produced by an ordinary faction with no extra features, Shi Haoran still cherished it like a treasure.
“The Immortal Net Scripture Pavilion truly has a vast collection of techniques, covering every aspect, and the prices are incredibly affordable.
“There are even insights shared by senior cultivators from major sects!
“And the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom features countless lectures by powerful cultivators.
“With this device, even if no major sect accepts , I can still tread the path of immortality and potentially reach the pinnacle!”
Clenching his fist, Shi Haoran felt a surge of determination.
He had started as an ordinary mortal, only managing to step onto the path of cultivation through a twist of fate.
As a rogue cultivator, however, his prospects were bleak.
In the cultivation world, rogue cultivators. especially low-level ones, faced imnse challenges. Unless one possessed extraordinary talent, major sects generally preferred to train disciples from scratch rather than recruiting outsiders.
But with the advent of the Little Spirit Communicator, this gave cultivators like Shi Haoran a glimr of hope.
Cultivation techniques that were once hard to co by could now be chosen freely.
In addition to purchasing techniques, one could also buy insights from experienced seniors, making cultivation more efficient.
When encountering difficulties on the cultivation path, one could enter the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom to find courses tailored to their needs.
For instance, topics like “What to prepare for a Foundation Establishnt breakthrough,” which were traditionally only taught in sects, could now be learned for just a few spirit stones in the Cloud Classroom.
How could he not be delighted?
It could be said that the ergence of Little Spirit Communicator was about to change Shi Haoran’s destiny.
This made him deeply admire and revere the Heavenly Origin Saint Master of Great Yan Province.
In Mingwang Province, even though the Saint Master’s achievents were dazzling, many of the local cultivators still stubbornly dismissed him, believing that if the Dao De Sect or the Feathering Sect’s leaders took action, Ye Chen would surely suffer defeat.
But Shi Haoran thought differently.
In his heart, he felt only gratitude toward the Heavenly Origin Saint Master.
The Dao De Sect and Feathering Sect might shine brightly, but they had no impact on his life.
However, the Heavenly Origin Saint Master’s creation of Little Spirit Communicator gave him genuine hope.
“I heard that the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is planning to establish a branch in Mingwang Province to recruit local talents.
“When that happens, I’ll definitely give it a try!”
Shi Haoran said with a firm expression.
Soon, Shi Haoran left the immortal city.
As a small, Qi Refining rogue cultivator, he naturally wasn’t qualified to live in the city.
He resided in a marketplace 200 miles away from Yuxu Immortal City.
After returning to his dwelling, he eagerly began selecting a suitable cultivation technique.
“This ‘Seven Days Source Water Technique 13.0’ seems to be the most suitable for right now. It’s a high-grade, Profound-level technique that can be cultivated up to the late Foundation Establishnt Realm.
“By then, I can switch to a better technique.
“However, even though the techniques in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion are much cheaper than those sold outside, this high-grade Profound-level technique still costs a full ten high-grade spirit stones.
“Plus, I want to buy Senior Shi Hao’s cultivation insights for the Seven Days Source Water Technique as well.
“Which ans I’ll have to spend all the spirit stones I’ve saved so far.
“And if I want to take classes in the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom later, I won’t have any spirit stones left.”
Looking at the price, Shi Haoran felt a pang of heartache.
He had stumbled upon a fortunate encounter once and obtained more than ten superior-grade spirit stones.
Now, he was about to spend them all in one go, which pained him greatly.
But upon reflection, he realized that in the past, even with spirit stones, he wouldn’t have been able to buy a high-grade Profound-level technique.
Although spirit stones were precious, if they couldn’t be converted into cultivation progress, they were aningless.
Resolute, Shi Haoran made up his mind.
Tomorrow, he would go to the Heavenly Origin Pavilion and deposit all his spirit stones into the Immortal Net Flash Pay system.
As for having no spirit stones left for online classes, Shi Haoran had already thought of a plan.
Today, when he completed his real-na verification at the Heavenly Origin Pavilion, he saw a sign at the entrance recruiting Qi Refining couriers.
The job offered decent pay and provided accommodations in the immortal city.
If he could beco a courier for the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, his monthly salary would be enough to cover his cultivation needs and online class fees.
In fact, during that earlier fortunate encounter, Shi Haoran had acquired a rare treasure in addition to the high-grade spirit stones.
However, he had never dared to sell it at an auction, fearing the auction house might simply seize it or that he’d attract the attention of powerful cultivators, putting his life in danger.
Now, he had even less reason to sell it at an auction.
After all, the Immortal Net Auction House was far safer and could yield higher prices.
He decided to wait until the Immortal Net Auction House officially launched in Mingwang Province to sell his treasure.
He wasn’t alone in this decision.
Many cultivators with treasures in hand were waiting for the Immortal Net Auction House to launch.
As a result, traditional auction houses across Mingwang Province had been experiencing a severe decline in business recently.
“Tomorrow, first thing in the morning, I’ll go to the Heavenly Origin Pavilion!”
Shi Haoran’s eyes sparkled with determination.
For the first ti since becoming a rogue cultivator, he felt hopeful about his future.
And in Mingwang Province, countless rogue cultivators, small sects, and family clans felt the sa as Shi Haoran at that mont.
The advent of Little Spirit Communicators was transforming their destinies, allowing them to tread farther along the immortal path.

Ti flowed like water.
As more branches of the Heavenly Origin Pavilion opened across Mingwang Province, the number of verified users for Little Spirit Communicators grew steadily.
The user base within the devices skyrocketed, becoming increasingly lively.

anwhile, back at the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land in Great Yan Province, Ye Chen stretched lazily, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
The great work was complete!
