Chapter 317: Crazy Uploads! Great Mystery Saint Master Feels Frustrated!

“Heavenly Origin Sacred Land has uploaded all their techniques to the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion.

“Throughout the entire Great Yan Province, everyone can now purchase the techniques for cultivation.

“It’s as if they’ve handed their advantage over to others. Although Heavenly Origin Sacred Land is currently strong, doing something this foolish is like abandoning their future.

“But once Ye Chen falls, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land will inevitably decline. We’ll just wait for that day to come.”

Great Mystery Saint Master knew that in terms of cultivation, he would never be a match for Ye Chen.

As such, the could only look forward to Ye Chen’s downfall.

The elders nodded upon hearing this.

Opening their technique library to the entire Great Yan Province was certainly not a wise move.

It could indeed affect Heavenly Origin Sacred Land’s future.

However, one elder spoke up quietly, “Now that Heavenly Origin Saint Master has reached the late stage of Deity Transformation, with a lifespan of 1,500 years, he will definitely live longer than us.

“Not to mention that once Heavenly Origin Saint Master breaks through to Great Advancement, it will be nearly guaranteed!

“At that point, he could live for 3,000 years, so, no matter what happens to Heavenly Origin Sacred Land in the future, we won’t live to see it.”

Great Mystery Saint Master’s face turned green at once…

The elders’ lips twitched.

Unable to defeat their enemy, and living a shorter life than their enemy, it was truly frustrating.

—

At Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, inside the main hall, all the elders had smiles on their faces.

In a short time, there had been an overwhelming number of cultivators making payments.

The Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion had clearly succeeded.

And not just succeeded, it was a huge hit.

Apart from the techniques belonging to Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, the elders had also uploaded many of their own techniques.

At this moment, seeing the download numbers and thinking about their share of the earnings, the elders were in high spirits.

It was an absolute windfall.

Only Ye Chen’s master, the Supreme Elder Nangong Wan, frowned. “Why is nobody buying my technique?

“How strange!

“It’s a top-tier Heaven level technique!”

Ye Chen overheard his master’s muttering, but didn’t pay it much attention.

Even though techniques in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion were cheaper, a high-tier Heaven level technique was still priced at over a million high-grade spirit stones.

Even if someone wanted to buy it, such a large sum of spirit stones would require time to gather — it couldn’t just be pulled out immediately.

So it was perfectly normal that nobody was buying it now.

At that moment, the Foreign Affairs Elder reported seriously, “Master, as you predicted!

“Many cultivators have purchased techniques.

“But there are very few cultivators who have uploaded their techniques.

“Most of the techniques uploaded to the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion are of low grade.”

Ye Chen smiled upon hearing this.

He wasn’t surprised at all.

Getting something for free was human nature, and cultivators were no different.

Everyone wanted to freeload, but no one wanted to share their techniques.

All the major forces were watching and waiting.

As for this situation, Ye Chen had been prepared for it from the start.

Looking around the hall, he spoke to the elders, “Since that’s the case, let’s start according to plan!”

The elders immediately acknowledged the order.

They then took out their jade slips and began uploading their techniques.

That’s right.

At Ye Chen’s suggestion, the elders hadn’t uploaded all of their techniques earlier.

Instead, they had analyzed user comments and data on the Immortal Net’s microblog.

They saved the high-grade techniques with the most discussion and anticipation, waiting for the official release of the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion.

Once it went live, they were ready to upload them.

This strategy was highly effective in breaking the current situation where no one was uploading.

On the Immortal Net’s microblog, cultivators were still eagerly discussing the newly launched Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion.

“Why hasn’t any big shot uploaded the Invincible Seven Demons Sword? I really want to learn that technique.”

“I’m currently learning alchemy. Please upload the Bright Foundation Pill recipe, I’d be very grateful.”

“My constitution is naturally cold, so I want to buy a very yin Earth-grade technique, preferably one that can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm.”

“It feels like no one is uploading techniques!”

Although the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion had many techniques, it wasn’t complete.

Countless cultivators wanted to find the most suitable technique for themselves.

After all, higher-grade techniques weren’t always the best.

It also depended on compatibility.

If someone had a naturally strong fire element, cultivating an extremely yin technique would be inefficient.

But cultivating a highly yang technique would be much more effective.

Unfortunately, aside from the techniques that were there from the beginning, no one had uploaded new ones.

They refreshed the library for hours but only saw some yellow-level techniques.

Clearly, aside from Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, other major forces or cultivators weren’t willing to upload their techniques.

Most cultivators were a little disappointed.

The Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion was great, but it wasn’t perfect.

If only it contained the techniques of the entire cultivation world.

They would just need to open the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion and find the most suitable technique for themselves.

But unfortunately, that was just a dream.

Yet, at this moment, a cultivator posted an update.

“Everyone go check this out! A cultivator has uploaded a technique; the famous Three Emperors Pill Cauldron technique! An Earth-level mid-grade technique!”

“Not only that, but the famous Heaven-level spell ‘One Thought Blooming Flowers’ has also been uploaded. It’s incredible!”

“Alchemy masters, come quick! A cultivator just uploaded the recipe for the Ancient Great Return Pill!”

“……”

Upon seeing these updates, many cultivators were immediately drawn in.

And when they saw the latest techniques uploaded to the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, they all widened their eyes in shock.

“Flying Immortal Scripture”

“One Thought Blooming Flowers”

“Ancient Dragon Claw Hands”

“Dao Scripture”

“Invincible Seven Demons Sword”

“Seven Deadly Seals Demon Formation”

“Guangling Pill”

“Gathering Essence Kidney Pill”

These Dao techniques, spells, pill recipes, formations, and so on, were all rare and well-known treasures in the cultivation world.

Now, they had been uploaded by cultivators to the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion.

Who uploaded them?

Were they so lacking in spirit stones?

Many cultivators furrowed their brows at this moment.

But countless others were excited, their eyes wide with joy.

They had longed for these techniques for a long time. But those who possessed them kept them hidden, never sharing them.

There was no place to buy them. And now, they finally had a chance to purchase them.

How could they miss out?

They immediately clicked to buy.

Instantly, the number of purchases displayed on the technique covers soared. It was clear how high the cultivators’ enthusiasm was.

Many cultivators, after purchasing the techniques, were as happy as if it were the New Year.

But at the same time, there were those who were upset.

Many cultivators, looking at the newly uploaded techniques, had grim expressions.

Because, one way or another, they each possessed one of these techniques.

They hadn’t dared to upload them themselves, not wanting these techniques to spread throughout the cultivation world and be known by everyone.

But now, they had been uploaded by others.

Looking at the rapidly increasing purchase numbers on the technique covers, their faces turned darker.

“Damn it! I’ve been cultivating the Flying Immortal Scripture, but I never dared to upload it, and now another cultivator has uploaded it! It makes me so angry!”

“My Invincible Seven Demons Sword cost me 2,000 high-grade spirit stones in an auction, but now it’s been uploaded by someone else. In just a few minutes, 3,000 copies have been sold. What a huge loss…”

“Whoever uploads the technique first gets the share of the earnings. I was just a step too late, and now the Gathering Essence Kidney Pill recipe has sold 1,000 copies. That’s 5,000 high-grade spirit stones in shares. This should have been mine!”

“The Dao Scripture has even been uploaded. Damn it! Good thing I still have other techniques. I’ll upload mine too, or else all the spirit stones will be taken by others.”

“My technique is rare, but it was one I found in a secret realm with a few fellow Daoists. Everyone got a copy. I’ll upload it first and grab the spirit stones.”

“My technique is an inheritance from an ancient sect, but I’m not sure if it’s unique. I’ve heard that a century ago, this ancient sect had other relics surface! Forget it, I’ll upload it now. I can’t risk being beaten to it!”

“I’m going to upload the Great Return Pill recipe…”

“Haha, no one has uploaded the Gathering Essence Formation yet. Sorry, fellow Daoists, this share belongs to me!”

Before, everyone had been watching.

They kept their techniques tightly guarded, waiting for others to upload theirs.

But now, they were all in a rush.

Because no one could guarantee that their technique was unique.

If they didn’t upload, what if someone else did first?

Since the techniques were going to be uploaded anyway, why not upload them now?

By uploading, they could still earn a share of the profits.

That was better than having nothing.

At this moment, all the cultivators went wild.

Everyone scrambled to upload their techniques.

Fearing that just a few seconds of delay would result in someone else uploading first.

The number of techniques in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion increased at an astonishing rate.

Seeing this scene, the experts from all the major forces frowned.

The techniques controlled by the major forces, aside from a few secret ones, were mostly obtained from outside sources.

They couldn’t be sure if other cultivators or forces also had them.

As the number of techniques uploaded to the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion continued to grow, a sense of urgency surged in their hearts.

What if all the techniques were uploaded by others before they did?

Rather than gambling on luck, they decided to upload theirs first, to secure the share of profits.

And so, the major forces made their decision.

They immediately began uploading.

Except for the most secret techniques, all other techniques were quickly uploaded to the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion.

With this resolve, the number of techniques in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion exploded once again.

Whether it was cultivation techniques, spells, divine abilities, and so on, everything had increased by several times, even dozens of times.

And there was no sign of it stopping.

At Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, the elders watched the explosive uploads, and the rapidly increasing numbers in the library, amazed at their Saint Master’s ability to manipulate people’s hearts.

It was truly formidable.

With just one move, he had made countless cultivators in Great Yan Province scramble to upload their techniques.

Even the major forces were no exception, taking out their inventory and uploading it.

Among the newly uploaded techniques, there were many that amazed the elders, and they were eager to purchase.

At this moment, Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile.

It was clear that the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion was solidified…

Now, five months had passed, and the small target of one hundred million spirit stones was finally reached.

Ye Chen could finally rest assured and head into seclusion to break through to Great Advancement.
