Chapter 6: Immortal Artifact as a Server!
Ye Chen was a baby from 37 years ago who traveled through time and arrived in this world. At the age of 17, he was discovered by his master and brought to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land. With his own efforts, he made rapid progress. In just 20 years, he achieved the Nascent Soul Realm and ascended to the position of Saint Master.
The communication ring that astonished the elders and was difficult for them to understand was actually inspired by the idea of mobile phones from his previous life. Seeing the strong curiosity of the elders, Ye Chen didn’t keep it a secret.
With a wave of his hand, divine light flowed from his hand and formed a picture above the great hall. It showed two communication rings. In the eyes of everyone, Ye Chen leisurely spoke, “I think what confuses you the most is how communication rings, which are low-grade magical artifacts with limited capabilities, can support communication over tens of thousands or even millions of miles away, let alone instant communication without delay.”
“This has already exceeded the limit of low-grade magical artifacts, right?”
Led by Elder Wang Changchun, everyone nodded in agreement. That was indeed what puzzled them. Low-grade magical artifacts had extremely inferior materials and formations. Even if they could communicate, it would only be over a few hundred or thousand miles.
But the communication rings in their hands, they could still communicate even 500,000 miles away and even penetrate the isolation of secret realms. This was simply incomprehensible.
Ye Chen smiled slightly and with a thought, the picture in the sky instantly changed. Between the two rings, a square object appeared. Ye Chen then explained, “It’s true that communication rings cannot achieve these functions. But the one that does achieve these functions is not the communication ring itself. The communication ring is only responsible for connecting users, recognizing their divine sense, and speech.
“The one that actually handles communication is the square box in the picture, which is the communication base station… It’s this square communication base station that makes all this possible. When two communication ring users want to communicate, one ring will send out a communication request. The base station receives this request and, based on the information, connects to the other communication ring…
“The base station connects the two rings, allowing them to exchange and send information, thus enabling communication between them… The vast communication range is because the coverage of the communication base station is large enough. As long as the rings are within the coverage of the base station, they can communicate with each other…
“The rings are just the keys for each person to connect to the base station, and they don’t have many functions themselves. Providing all these functions is the communication base station in the middle…”Ye Chen explained seriously. Various arrows appeared in the picture above the hall, accompanying Ye Chen’s explanation.
In his previous life, this was common knowledge that even elementary school students understood. Mobile phones couldn’t connect to each other directly; they needed to go through signal towers for information conversion. The same logic applied to communication rings.
However, this concept was unheard of for the elders. What were communication base stations and information exchanges?
The elders looked puzzled at Ye Chen. After some serious contemplation, Wang Changchun hurriedly asked, “Saint Master, do you mean that behind these rings, there is a divine item called the communication base station that connects each communication ring… The reason why communication rings can communicate with each other is because of this divine item called the communication base station? The communication rings themselves don’t have many functions; they’re just used to connect to this base station.”
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, “That’s right!”
Wang Changchun was indeed a master refiner of the Sacred Land.
Upon hearing the explanation, he roughly understood the logic. However, after vaguely understanding the principle of the communication rings, Elder Wang Changchun and the others became even more puzzled.
What kind of divine object was the so-called communication base station?
What kind of divine object could cover such an endless area and even penetrate the isolation of secret realms, connecting each communication ring to one another?
For Wang Changchun, who had been immersed in the field of artifact refining for a long time, it seemed like the door to a new world had been opened.
“May I ask, Your Holiness, what exactly is the communication base station you mentioned?” Wang Changchun asked again.
Everyone eagerly looked at Ye Chen, thirsting for knowledge.
Ye Chen softly spoke, “Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll!”
As Ye Chen’s words fell, the entire room was in an uproar.
“Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll?”
All the elders were shocked.
That was because the Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll was the sacred artifact of the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.
It was an immortal artifact created by the founder of the sect, the Heavenly Origin Immortal.
It was the most important cornerstone for the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land to be passed down until today.
The Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll was actually the divine communication base station mentioned by Ye Chen?
—
Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone, Ye Chen revealed a smile.
That’s right.
He was using an immortal artifact as a communication base station.
As a transmigrator, Ye Chen actually had many ways to make money in his mind.
However, after ascending to the position of the Saint Master and coming into contact with the sect’s sacred artifact, understanding the functions of the Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll, he had a bold idea.
To use the immortal artifact as a server.
The Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll was not an artifact known for its offensive capabilities.
Instead, it possessed immense power of deduction.
Back then, the Heavenly Origin Immortal had used the Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll to deduce all information. Although its strength was not the strongest, his insight into everything allowed him to display unparalleled combat power.
Such immense power of deduction would be equivalent to an infinitely powerful supercomputer on Earth in his previous life.
Combined with the unique immortal dao laws of the Heavenly Origin Immortal Scroll.
The power of these laws connected the entire cultivation world, penetrating secret realms naturally without any difficulty.
With such an immortal artifact, not using it as a communication base station and creating a communication device would be a waste.
In any world, there would always be a demand for communication.
People’s desire for real-time communication devices was enormous.
Once launched, it would surely generate a steady stream of income.
Moreover, the communication rings were not just a one-time purchase.
It was like buying a mobile phone – even if you bought the most expensive foldable screen phone, you would still have to pay the phone bill, right?
The annual phone bills would also be a substantial income.
In all honesty, just relying on the communication rings would easily make up for the losses caused by the decline of the Immortal Peach Forest and the Creek Secret Realm.
What’s more, Ye Chen didn’t intend to stop at just creating and selling communication rings.
The communication rings were just the beginning.
Once the communication rings became popular.
The internet that would be introduced later would be where the real potential lay…
How profitable was the internet?
One only needed to think about the net worth of those internet giants from his previous world to get an idea.
