The Sacred Land Is Going Bankrupt, I Invented a Mobile Phone!

Chapter 137: Immortal Realm’s Version of Weibo! Trending!

The more Ye Chen pondered, the more he felt that Weibo was quite suitable.

He could easily create it during the downtime before the express delivery was launched.

Even without considering profitability, just having control over an information platform brought immense benefits.

In the past, information platforms were controlled by internet giants.

The information people saw was what others wanted them to see, and they remained unaware of what was being withheld.

For example, the children of the Ma family, the richest family, were top-tier heirs, yet there was barely any information about them online, not even a single photo.

This monopoly of information was terrifying.

Creating an Immortal Realm version of Weibo would grant Ye Chen the power to filter information and decide what all cultivators in the Great Yan Province knew or didn’t know.

The benefits were unimaginable.

Like in the past, when a country was in good terms, only positive information about it was circulated, naturally fostering goodwill.

Conversely, if relations soured, negative news spread, breeding dislike.

Having control over an information platform could subtly sway everyone’s emotions, turning black into white and vice versa.

With an Immortal Realm Weibo, even if his own Heavenly Origin Sacred Land destroyed a sect for no reason, Ye Chen could use the platform to paint them as villains and justify his actions.

Smearing other Sacred Lands would be even easier.

For example, fabricating scandals about the Great Mystery Sacred Land and spreading them to all users.

Great Mystery Sacred Land wouldn’t even have a chance to refute on their own platform.

Thus, causing the entire cultivation world to develop a dislike for Great Mystery Sacred Land.

This was the terrifying aspect of information monopoly.

One actually needed this kind of power.

When online payments were introduced in the future, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land needed full credibility and reputation for cultivators to trust them and store spirit stones there.

With the Immortal Realm version of Weibo, the difficulty of establishing credibility for Heavenly Origin Sacred Land would be greatly reduced.

In short!

Establishing an information platform had unimaginable implicit benefits alone.

And the visible profits that the Immortal Realm version of Weibo could bring were definitely not low.

Firstly, the Immortal Realm version of Weibo could post pictures.

However, it required special photo-taking stones.

So, these stones would sell out.

Secondly, there was advertising revenue.

Advertising existed both in the mortal realm and the cultivation world, just more traditional in the latter.

Such as signs outside shops displaying product prices or doormen shouting outside entrances.

These were all advertisements.

However, online advertising was more precise and effective.

It would undoubtedly bring huge profits.

Lastly, there were hot searches.

Hot searches were actually a form of advertising and having a spot in hot searches was the best.

After all, humans were naturally interested in rankings.

By spending money to trend, one could gain attention.

And if someone didn’t want to trend, they could spend money to remove themselves from trending.

These were all points of profit.

If the Immortal Realm version of Weibo were done well, the monthly revenue might not be lower than the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom.

So, Ye Chen made a decision.

He would create Weibo.

This way, when he was bored, he could browse Weibo and look at pretty girls.

Ye Chen naturally wouldn’t implement any beauty filters.

So, once the Immortal Realm version of Weibo was launched, it would all be genuine content.

Perfect!

Before the delivery preparations were completed, he would launch Weibo!

So, Ye Chen looked at Elder Wu and said, “In that case, the arrangement of the bidirectional transmission array will be fully entrusted to Elder Wu.”

Then he turned to the Foreign Affairs Elder and said, “You need to be responsible for the preparations in Great Seal City.

“Within the next six months, a large warehouse of at least several million square meters must be established in Great Seal City as a sorting center.

“Great Seal City is the logistics center of the entire Great Yan Province and must have a large enough space, or it won’t be enough.

“And the other sorting center also need to establish distribution centers to handle future deliveries.”

Hearing this, Elder Wu nodded immediately.

After being injured, he didn’t need to do anything, but received double offerings every year and various free healing medicines kept coming.

It made Elder Wu feel a little embarrassed.

So now, having something to do, Elder Wu was especially proactive.

Hearing Ye Chen’s request, the Foreign Affairs Elder just thought for a moment before immediately taking on the task.

For these warehouses, setting up transmission arrays was also a good thing.

As for building sorting centers and such, it was even simpler.

With the name and financial power of the Sacred Land, no one would hinder them.

It was easy.

But everyone was curious.

The investment in express delivery was so huge, yet the Saint Master was extremely optimistic.

What new product did the Saint Master prepare that made him confident enough to make a profit of three million top-grade spirit stones from delivery services?

But since the Saint Master didn’t say, they couldn’t ask.

They could only bury their curiosity in their hearts.

—

The investment in setting up teleportation arrays did not need to be made all at once.

Fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones could be allocated monthly.

With the current sales of Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicators and the income from the Immortal Net Auction House and the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom, it would take only three months to accumulate enough top-grade spirit stones for the perfect breakthrough to the Deity Transformation Realm.

Three months was not long.

During this time, Ye Chen could launch the Immortal Realm Weibo and continue to cultivate the Nine Secrets.

Ye Chen was excited to see the power of the Nine Secrets at higher realms.

The news of the Heavenly Origin Saint Master killing Deity Transformation Realm cultivators remained a hot topic among cultivators.

But for low-level cultivators, it was just news.

The Saint Master was too far above them to have any impact on their lives.

The emergence of the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom, on the other hand, had brought about significant changes for countless low-level cultivators.

At the Demonic Suppression Sect, the annual sect competition was in full swing.

It was bustling with excitement, but Lin He stood on the sidelines, feeling insignificant.

He had average talent and was the slowest among his peers to advance.

While others had reached the fifth stage of Qi Refining, he was still at the third stage.

The disparity was too great.

Platforms like the sect competition were only suitable for geniuses.

He was just a foil.

When the competition ended, the steward announced the next match: Lin He versus Ye Lei!

Lin He paled.

Ye Lei was at the fifth layer of Qi Refining.

How could he possibly win?

Maybe he should just surrender.

But after a moment’s hesitation, Lin He decided to fight.

He had learned some basic body refining techniques from the master of the Shaolin Temple the previous night and wanted to test their effectiveness.

As Lin He stepped onto the stage, his opponent didn’t take him seriously.

With a smirk, he launched a palm thunder, swift and decisive.

Onlookers nodded in approval.

Lin He panicked and activated the basic body refining technique he had learned last night, blocking with his hands in front of him.

Boom!

There was a light tremor, but Lin He didn’t fall.

He didn’t even retreat.

His arms felt numb, but there were no injuries.

This stunned his opponent.

How could a third-stage Qi Refining cultivator block his palm thunder with just his arms?

Even a fourth-stage cultivator might not be able to do so.

The opponent was about to strike again when a figure suddenly appeared on the stage.

The steward recognized the person and immediately bowed respectfully.

Lin He and his opponent also lowered their heads in surprise.

It was a senior elder in the Golden Core Realm.

The elder gazed at Lin He keenly. “Did you learn the body refining technique from the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom yesterday?”

Lin He was shocked.

How did the elder know?

But he nodded eagerly.

The elder smiled and placed his hand on Lin He’s head. “Your talent in Qi Refining is average, but your bloodline is strong, making you a body refining genius. No wonder you mastered the basics of body refining overnight. Would you like to become my personal disciple and learn my body refining technique?”

Everyone was astonished.

Lin He, the weakest of his generation, had caught the eye of a Golden Core elder and was being offered personal discipleship?

Lin He was overjoyed, unable to articulate his gratitude.

Without the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom, he would never have discovered his talent for body refining.

He owed everything to the Saint Master who created it.

The Saint Master had changed his destiny, and for that, Lin He was deeply grateful.
