Chapter 5: Apologies! A Transmigrator from Earth!
The entrance to the Creek Secret Realm was located within the Sacred Land.
Thus, it didn’t take long for an elder to receive a communication request from the elder who went to test the secret realm…
After several exchanges of conversation, the elder couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment to everyone present, “Elder Cheng is indeed inside the Creek Secret Realm.”
“He can communicate with me normally, without any interference!”
As soon as the words of this elder fell, everyone was shocked.
It was actually possible to communicate within the secret realm.
It’s important to know that many opportunities in secret realms often open quite suddenly.
Those who participate were usually inadvertently drawn in, and they didn’t have time to inform the external forces.
If a person entering a secret realm could communicate with the outside world, then their Sacred Land could seize the opportunity, immediately dispatching powerful individuals to occupy the secret realm.
The benefits of this would be simply enormous.At this moment, everyone looked at the communication rings in their hands as if they were looking at a divine artifact.
Before, they thought wearing such a low-grade magical tool was disgraceful.
Now, however, they no longer held such thoughts.
It didn’t matter that it was just a low-grade magical tool.
Even if it were a mortal tool, they would still cherish it as a treasure.

Soon, the elder who tested the secret realm communication returned.
Not long after, Elder Wang Changchun also returned.
Upon learning about the miraculous effects of the communication ring, the gazes of all the elders towards Ye Chen were filled with admiration.
Initially, several elders held themselves in high regard and didn’t pay much attention to Ye Chen, the young Lord of the Sacred Land.
Now, however, their thoughts had changed.
At this moment, as Ye Chen observed the expressions of all the elders in the main hall,
he finally stood up from his throne and spoke leisurely, “Since the tests have been completed, do any of the esteemed elders here still have doubts about this object?
“And do you still have objections to using this object to solve the financial issues of the Sacred Land?”
When Ye Chen’s words fell, all the elders shook their heads.
The effectiveness of the communication ring was evident.
Who would still have doubts?
As for whether this object had the ability to solve the financial issues of the sect,
even those elders who didn’t understand worldly matters could see the value of the communication ring.
Firstly, the ring had extremely low requirements for its users.
Even a beginner in the Qi Refining Realm could use it.
Secondly, its effect was astonishing.
It could communicate with anyone from the farthest corners of the world.
The value of this was simply immense.
It was important to know that every cultivator had a need for communication.
During your time away from the sect for cultivation, do you miss your Dao companion?
Are you worried about your Dao friends when they hunt demon beasts?
Do you worry about your loved ones who haven’t appeared for a long time?
Ordinary cultivators have a huge demand in their daily lives.
Not to mention other aspects.
For example, some businesses might urgently need a certain spiritual medicine in a particular place.
Whichever family delivered the spiritual medicine first would make a fortune.
If they were to use the communication talisman, due to its delay, it would take at least two or three days for far-off places to communicate.
But with the communication ring, real-time communication was incredibly convenient.
And when the disciples of various sects left their mountains for cultivation, if one had a communication ring, even if it was too late to help, they could still obtain information about the assailant and take revenge for their disciple. Not to mention other benefits.
In short, although the communication ring was only a low-grade magical artifact, its powerful effect made it more important than a spirit tool or a treasure. It can be said that any cultivator with money would definitely buy one. Even those without money would find a way to afford one.
With the ring, one could contact their elders at any time, greatly increasing their safety. If they came across any opportunities that they could not handle alone, they could immediately notify their friends and family to help. If a loved one encountered danger, they could rush to help at the first opportunity.
It could be said that the communication ring would become an essential item for cultivation, just like storage bags and storage rings. In the future, every cultivator would have one.
Although the communication ring was only a low-grade magical artifact, its powerful function meant that it cannot be sold for just a few low-grade spirit stones. It would at least cost one mid-grade spirit stone or even a high-grade spirit stone. The huge profit was easy to imagine.
With great demand and large profit margins, solving the financial problems currently faced by the Sacred Land was not a difficult task. On the contrary, the communication ring might even have a higher value than the Immortal Peach Tree and become the pillar industry of the Sacred Land.
In the future, their Sacred Land might no longer be the poorest among the four great Sacred Lands. With more money, the treatment of elders, deacons, and disciples can be improved, benefiting everyone. And with more resources, everyone might be able to go further on the path of cultivation.
All of this was brought about by their Saint Master.
All the elders looked at Ye Chen with even more admiration. Elder Wang Changchun stood at the forefront, looking at Ye Chen with some hesitation. However, he still clenched his teeth, bent down, and bowed, “Saint Master, I, Wang Changchun, apologize for my previous disrespect!”
Everyone was shocked to see this scene. Wang Changchun was a formidable figure in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, as well as a master artifact refiner with a particularly strong temperament. Now he was actually taking the initiative to apologize to the Saint Master.
Everyone exchanged glances and then bowed down as well, apologizing for their previous disrespect toward Ye Chen.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen smiled faintly. He immediately walked over and helped Elder Wang up, “Elder Wang and all the other elders, there’s no need for such formalities. Everyone was just anxious for the sake of the Sacred Land.
“Moreover, many elders present have taken care of me in the past!
“For instance, Elder Wang once gave me a top-grade treasure, which saved my life multiple times.
“Elder Chen, who is skilled in transmitting techniques, even gave me the Daoist techniques he obtained in the outside world!
“Elder Li from the Pill Peak secretly gave me a priceless Nascent Soul Breaking Pill when I was about to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.
“So, there’s no need for everyone to be overly polite!”
Ye Chen’s voice spread throughout the entire hall. Many elders revealed smiles upon hearing his words. They had all been fond of Ye Chen’s talents and had given him various conveniences. Now that they saw Ye Chen had not forgotten and had kept them in his heart, the elders felt very comfortable.
Even those who had felt somewhat uneasy about Ye Chen surpassing their cultivation levels in such a short time now opened their hearts. They wholeheartedly acknowledged their young Saint Master.

Elder Wang Changchun looked puzzled, “Sect master, I have a question!”
Ye Chen smiled, “Speak, Elder Wang!”
“How does this communication ring manage to achieve all of this?
“It’s truly inconceivable!
“Its internal structure consists only of basic combination array patterns, and although there are some I don’t recognize, they still seem very ordinary.
“Furthermore, the ring’s material is just the lowest grade iron essence!
“How can such a low-grade magical artifact be so miraculous, allowing two people to communicate face to face from five hundred thousand miles apart, even breaking through the barriers of secret realms?”
Elder Wang expressed his confusion.
Perhaps this ring had shattered his years of knowledge in artifact crafting, so he couldn’t help but use his hands to gesture as he spoke, lacking the demeanor of a master craftsman.
The other elders also looked on with curiosity upon hearing this.
That was their point of intrigue as well.
They had examined the communication ring over and over again, and it seemed plain and unremarkable.
How exactly did it achieve all of this?
Seeing the perplexed expressions of the many elders, Ye Chen laughed.
Returning to his throne, Ye Chen decided to share some knowledge from his past life with these powerful cultivators…
That’s right, Ye Chen wasn’t from this world.
He was a traveler from Earth.
