Chapter 309: An Unrealistic New App?

Lin Ke’er didn’t accompany Ye Chen and Nangong Wan to the Saint Master’s hall.

Instead, she happily sat alone in her cave, posting on Weibo.

“My master accepted me as his disciple and even gave me a mystical artifact that only Mingwang Province has!

“Being Master’s disciple is the happiest thing!

“Master also promised to cultivate with me every day in the future.”

She included two photos with the post.

One was a candid shot of her snuggling up and shaking Ye Chen’s arm, showing how close they seemed.

The other was a picture of the artifact.

While posting, Lin Ke’er also tagged Gu Yunyun, Gu Xun’er, and the Jade Pond Saint Master.

This post quickly attracted countless cultivators’ attention.

Looking at the post, cultivators openly expressed their envy toward Lin Ke’er.

Since the Heavenly Origin Saint Master defeated the Great Advancement, he was undeniably the strongest in Great Yan Province.

Becoming the disciple of the Saint Master was a dream come true for countless cultivators.

And he was also so generous!

Artifacts were usually only manageable by Nascent Souls.

Yet the Saint Master gave one that even a Golden Core cultivator could use — a priceless treasure indeed.

Seeing the artifact’s photo, countless cultivators were even more envious and jealous.

Not to mention, Lin Ke’er could cultivate with Ye Chen daily, making countless female cultivators wish to take her place.

Gu Yunyun remained expressionless when she saw the post.

Gu Xun’er’s sweet, innocent face pouted.

The Jade Pond Saint Master just shook her head.

Ye Chen’s intentions toward her needed no further clarification.

If she became his Dao companion, she’d be Lin Ke’er’s “Master Mother.”

It seemed she’d have to prepare a welcome gift for Lin Ke’er on her next visit to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

Ye Chen was unaware of Lin Ke’er’s antics.

When he and Nangong Wan arrived at the hall, the elders were already gathered and immediately greeted him and Nangong Wan.

After they were seated, the elders looked at Ye Chen with anticipation.

Though Ye Chen hadn’t specified the reason when notifying the Foreign Affairs Elder, everyone had some suspicions.

Recently, the Saint Master had been working on updates for the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator.

It had been over four months since the launch of the overseas shopping feature.

Could this meeting be about a new app release?

Ye Chen glanced around at the elders and, as usual, first asked the Foreign Affairs Elder, “Has anything happened recently?”

The elder shook his head. “Since you defeated Daoist Jinwu, Great Yan Province has been unusually calm. The Great Mystery Sacred Land has been almost in a closed-off state, with no further movements.

“However, the elder of the Celestial Sword Sect has started several sword cultivation classes on the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom, causing a stir. Enthusiasm for learning is high among cultivators in Great Yan Province.

“Additionally, several female elders from the Celestial Sword Sect have posted various photos and introductions about Mingwang Province on Weibo, and their followers quickly surpassed a billion.”

Ye Chen smiled at this.

With the development of the Internet, cultural exchange between the two prefectures was inevitable, unless he isolated each region’s network environment with walls, which would be pointless.

Convenient cultural exchange could create new possibilities, beneficial to the entire cultivation world.

Ye Chen would not stop it. In fact, he welcomed it.

After confirming no further reports, he surveyed the room and spoke calmly, “I’ve developed a new app and need the elders to prepare for its launch.”

The elders immediately brightened.

Though they’d already guessed as much, hearing about a new app still made them visibly excited.

Applications created by the Saint Master didn’t just earn spirit stones, they transformed the entire cultivation world.

In Great Yan Province’s cultivation world today, Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment cultivators attended online classes regularly, Nascent Souls all served as teachers, couriers filled the streets of Immortal Cities, and countless cultivators posted interesting moments on Immortal Net Weibo, aspiring to become major influencers.

Everyone had witnessed these changes, and as participants, they felt an indescribable pride.

So, they eagerly awaited the Saint Master’s new app.

Ye Chen didn’t keep them in suspense.

With a wave of his hand, the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicators of all the elders, including Nangong Wan’s, began a forced update.

A few dozen breaths later, the update was complete.

Without needing instructions, the elders navigated the device expertly, finding the seventh app on the homepage.

Immortal Net Sutra Library.

The elders seemed to be deep in thought as they read the name, and the app icon depicted the grand and majestic Sutra Library of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

Now, their eyes widened in curiosity, wondering what the new app might contain.

They clicked on the app without delay.

As usual, the app opened to an empty screen with no content yet, but the layout gave clues to its functions.

The home page of the Immortal Net Sutra Library was an empty bookshelf.

At the bottom was an option labeled “Bookstore.”

When the elders clicked “Bookstore,” the page switched, revealing a blank screen but with a prominent search bar at the top.

On the left side were categories.

Clicking opened various categories: Techniques! Spells! Divine Abilities! Pills! Arrays! Talismans!

Selecting one offered more detailed subcategories.

For instance, under Techniques, they saw divisions by cultivation stage, from Qi Refinement to the Immortal Realm, with further subcategories, like elemental types in the Qi Refinement Realm: Fire, Water, Earth, Metal, and so on.

The other main categories were equally detailed.

In the top right corner was an “Upload” button.

Clicking it brought up an upload prompt.

Seeing this, the elders exchanged glances, and they had a good idea of the new app’s purpose.

While they knew any new app created by the Saint Master would be exceptional, the Sutra Library’s functionality surprised them.

After exploring the app’s features, the elders’ faces showed astonishment and some hesitation.

Seeing this, Ye Chen chuckled. “Speak freely if you have any thoughts.”

The Foreign Affairs Elder organized his thoughts and spoke, “Saint Master, the Immortal Net Sutra Library seems similar to the Immortal Net Cloud Classroom. However, while the Cloud Classroom allows powerful cultivators to teach cultivation knowledge, the Sutra Library appears to enable cultivators to upload techniques for others to learn from.”

Ye Chen showed approval.

The primary purpose of the Sutra Library was indeed this.

He nodded, signaling the elder to continue.

The Foreign Affairs Elder, who had already formed his opinion, quickly continued, “Saint Master, powerful cultivators may be willing to teach on the Cloud Classroom, but they would never agree to share their techniques openly with others.

“It’s not just high-level cultivators. Even low-level cultivators would hesitate. Techniques are the foundation of each cultivator’s power, and no one wants to share them. Sharing could expose vulnerabilities, which no cultivator could accept. Even if it meant earning some spirit stones, they still wouldn’t agree.”

The other elders nodded in agreement.

For cultivators, techniques were of utmost importance.

Everyone guarded their techniques closely. Hoarding was the norm.

The Saint Master’s creation of this Sutra Library was bold and unique.

Once released, it would undoubtedly draw interest from cultivators across Great Yan Province, though likely only as a resource to acquire techniques, with few willing to upload their own.

If no one uploaded, the Immortal Net Sutra Library would serve no purpose.
