Chapter 300: Overseas Shopping Goes Live! The Immortal Net Library!

In the following days, many rare treasures appeared in the Immortal Net auction house, leaving countless cultivators amazed and sparking fierce competition.

To obtain these items, some powerful figures even took out loans from Immortal Net Loans.

In reality, these treasures were secretly listed by the Great Mystery Sacred Land.

Elder Jinwu’s breakthrough had exhausted all of Great Mystery’s liquid assets.

Now, they had no choice but to sell off some of their sacred treasures.

With such desperate measures, Great Mystery Sacred Land finally managed to repay the loan from Immortal Net Credit on the third day.

Upon receiving the spirit stones, the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land didn’t make things harder for Great Mystery Sacred Land, returning the previously seized Great Mystery Pavillions and most of their resource points.

However, they did not return everything.

Resources like the Dragon Blood Spirit Vein, Nascent Break Secret Realm, and Avatar Grass Secret Realm were not mentioned at all.

This infuriated Great Mystery Sacred Land, but they were helpless.

What could they do?

—

Across the cultivation world of Great Yan Province, even after a few days had passed, the fierce battle remained a hot topic on Immortal Net Weibo.

A recording of the battle captured by the True Martial Sect sold in Immortal Net’s Taobao in staggering numbers, reaching over a million copies sold in a single day.

After watching the video, most cultivators were left unsettled.

It was not so much a battle as it was sheer domination.

The Heavenly Origin Saint Master was one full realm below his opponent, yet his power completely overwhelmed them.

People couldn’t help but wonder just how powerful their Saint Master truly was.

The fall of Elder Jinwu also left many cultivators regretful.

Since ancient times, Great Yan Province had very few Great Advancement powerhouses, each with renowned names.

Only Elder Jinwu met his end due to an unpaid debt.

It seemed, even across the entire cultivation world, Elder Jinwu would go down as the most pitiable Great Advancement powerhouse ever.

His demise also taught cultivators an important lesson: Never, ever default on a Immortal Net Loan.

The consequences were truly severe.

—

In the main hall of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, all the elders gazed at Ye Chen with profound reverence.

Though they’d been awed countless times, they hadn’t quite grown accustomed to it.

The Saint Master’s power was truly overwhelming.

To shatter a Great Advancement powerhouse’s divine manifestation with a single punch — was that even something a Deity Formation cultivator could do?

Seated on his throne, Ye Chen, who had caused a stir across all of Great Yan Province, appeared calm.

After taking down Elder Jinwu, Ye Chen didn’t immediately return to Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

Instead, he took Nangong Wan and Lin Ke’er on a scenic tour around Great Yan Province.

Now, five days had passed.

“How’s the revenue from Immortal Net Loans going?” Ye Chen asked.

The Foreign Affairs Elder, now more respectful than ever, replied, “Reporting to the Saint Master, the total loan amount from Immortal Net Loans has now reached three hundred million high-grade spirit stones.

“Daily interest income averages around 150,000 high-grade spirit stones. After deducting 50,000 for depositors’ interest, our daily net profit is approximately 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.”

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, but then asked, “In calculating net profits, did you account for the possibility of cultivators falling in battle?”

Hearing this, the Foreign Affairs Elder nodded, “There have indeed been cases of cultivators perishing and failing to repay. However, many of these deceased cultivators had sizable deposits in Immortal Net FlashPay, and these unclaimed deposits actually exceed the amount of unpaid loans.”

This made Ye Chen laugh.

Indeed, the risk of cultivators falling was high and unclaimed deposits became the sect’s unexpected windfall.

In Immortal Net FlashPay, there was no inheritance protocol.

If someone perished, their deposit became the sect’s property, adding an unforeseen source of revenue.

Currently, the applications launched by Immortal Net FlashPay were generating a stable monthly profit of around ten million high-grade spirit stones.

The Immortal Net FlashPay lottery was incredibly lucrative, bringing in six million high-grade spirit stones monthly.

Immortal Net Credit earned about three million high-grade spirit stones per month.

Altogether, Immortal Net Credit’s monthly income reached nine million high-grade spirit stones.

Indeed, finance was the most profitable venture.

The revenue from Immortal Net FlashPay alone equaled the combined income of all previous applications.

Now, the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s total monthly revenue had reached nineteen million.

Once the overseas shopping feature was launched, reaching twenty million per month would be no problem.

This figure brought a satisfied smile to Ye Chen’s face.

To break through to the Great Advancement Realm, he’d need a small fortune in high-grade spirit stones.

It seemed that, in just five to six months, he’d be able to gather what he needed. Perfect!

“How’s the cross-province teleportation array’s setup progressing?”

The Foreign Affairs Elder smiled, “Saint Master, the cross-state teleportation array is nearly complete. However, the teleportation array connecting Penglai Island to Mingwang Province is taking five minutes longer than expected, and the energy consumption is double what we projected. Elder Chen estimates it will take another four to five days of fine-tuning.”

The imminent completion of the teleportation array brought a sparkle to the elders’ eyes.

With a cross-state teleportation array, their trips to Mingwang Province would become much more convenient.

Ye Chen also seemed pleased. “And what about the Celestial Sword Sect? Are their preparations going well, and is the collaboration smooth?”

When Ye Chen asked this, the Foreign Affairs Elder beamed even brighter, unable to hide his delight.

“Saint Master, the product selection with the Celestial Sword Sect is basically finalized.

They guarantee that once someone places an order on Immortal Net’s Taobao, they’ll procure the item within two days and transport it to the teleportation array.

Then, it takes another half a day to teleport to Great Yan,

where our Immortal Net Express will handle sorting and delivery.

The entire process takes about four days.

“The collaboration has gone smoothly overall.

However, during initial meetings with Elder Dugu from the Celestial Sword Sect,

we could sense a hint of arrogance and disregard for our Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

But after your defeat of Elder Jinwu,

Elder Dugu’s attitude changed entirely,

becoming notably more respectful when mentioning you, Saint Master.”

Clearly, the Celestial Sword Sect had been impressed by Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s wealth,

but they couldn’t shake a certain arrogance toward a sect without a Nascent Soul powerhouse.

Now, having seen Ye Chen defeat Elder Jinwu across such a vast realm gap,

they were left stunned.

In the cultivation world, strength commands respect.

Though Heavenly Origin Sacred Land lacked a Nascent Soul powerhouse,

with Ye Chen, they essentially had one—and not just any Nascent Soul, either.

After all, the further one progressed in cultivation, the harder it became to vanquish opponents, let alone kill them.

Yet Ye Chen could shatter a divine manifestation with a single punch,

a level of strength that would command respect even in Mingwang Province.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen allowed himself a slight smile.

This highlights the importance of possessing strength in the cultivation world.

Without sufficient power,

after some time, the Celestial Sword Sect might feel they aren’t getting enough profit,

leading to greed and potential trouble.

But now?

That won’t be an issue.

Ye Chen tapped his finger lightly and, after a moment, spoke, “In that case,

we’ll update the Heavenly Origin Communication App in five days to launch the overseas shopping feature.

Inform the Celestial Sword Sect to prepare.

Also, have the Elder in charge of Immortal Net Express ready for the delivery coordination.”

The Foreign Affairs Elder nodded immediately.

Everyone was looking forward to the overseas shopping feature,

as Mingwang Province’s cultivation civilization was indeed more advanced.

Located at the center of the entire cultivation world, Mingwang Province has richer spiritual energy and countless legacies, holding clear advantages in alchemy, artifact refining, formations, and more.

Some of the elders here had traveled through Mingwang Province, purchasing some top-tier pills.

Although they were pricier, the effects were far better.

At that time, they didn’t earn much, so they were hesitant to buy in large quantities.

Now, however, the elders were wealthier by several times.

With higher income, naturally, they wanted better quality.

But Mingwang Province was far away.

Even a round trip for a Nascent Soul cultivator, traveling day and night without rest, would take a year — hardly worth it.

But with the overseas shopping feature, they could buy pills and treasures from Mingwang Province directly from Great Yan Province.

In just four to five days, the items would arrive, saving a year of travel — truly perfect.

Now that official matters were handled, the elders left, satisfied and looking forward to the overseas shopping feature in five days.

Ye Chen, meanwhile, was contemplating the next app to launch after overseas shopping.

After all, his upcoming breakthroughs would require spirit stones in the billions.

His demand for spirit stones would only explode.

Currently, Ye Chen’s combat strength was remarkable.

With the activation of the Secret of the All Character, he estimated he could even defeat a mid-stage Great Advancement cultivator.

He wasn’t afraid of late-stage Great Advancement cultivators either and was confident in holding his own.

In this cultivation world where the Body Integration stage is hidden, and the Transcendence stage is practically legendary, Ye Chen’s strength had essentially reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world.

He had no fear of the great sacred lands and ancient sects of Mingwang Province.

Thus, he was ready to confidently enter the vast market of Mingwang Province.

By entering this market, all of his app revenues would likely skyrocket exponentially.

With Mingwang Province’s market, he probably wouldn’t have to worry about spirit stones until he reached the Transcendence stage.

However, setting up distribution channels for Heavenly Origin Communication App in Mingwang Province would still take some time.

So, his next app would primarily be aimed at cultivators in Great Yan Province.

Now, what should this next app be?

Short videos would indeed be a good option!

But Ye Chen hoped to introduce this major app when entering the Mingwang Province market, to capture the attention of cultivators and make it an instant hit.

So, short videos could be saved for later.

“What should I do, then?” Ye Chen furrowed his brow in thought.

After a moment, his eyes lit up.

“Qiandu Library!

“Yes, that’s it! Qiandu Library!”

Ye Chen smiled.

Qiandu Library was famous on Earth in his previous life, full of various documents and resources.

He could absolutely create a version for the cultivation world.

Of course, what would be uploaded to the Immortal Net Library would not be ordinary information.
