The Sacred Land Is Going Bankrupt, I Invented a Mobile Phone!-Chapter 376

Chapter 376: The New App Shakes My Dao Heart!

Amid the anticipation of countless cultivators, Immortal Net Short Videos finally launched.

At first, many cultivators who had been eagerly awaiting the new app were somewhat disappointed to discover that it was simply for watching videos. It didn’t seem particularly useful.

However, driven by curiosity, they clicked into the app anyway.

But the moment they started using it, their initial indifference instantly vanished.

These short videos were simply too interesting.

The content covered seemingly everything — alchemy, artifact refining, beast taming, planting techniques. There were even videos offering insights from great cultivators, and battle footage of top-tier experts.

Beyond that, there were glimpses into the daily lives of disciples from Sacred Lands and the benefits granted to top-tier clans.

Not to mention, there were countless female cultivators who were breathtakingly beautiful.

Compared to static images, dynamic videos revealed far more details, making them utterly captivating.

Most importantly, the app learned personal preferences. The more one watched, the more it recommended similar content, drawing cultivators in deeper and deeper.

Thus, within just a short period after launch, Immortal Net Weibo exploded with discussions about the new app.

Most of the posts were filled with praise.

“I’ve been searching everywhere for footage of the battle between the Heavenly Origin Saint Master and the Seven-Kill Star Sovereign in Mingwang Province. Finally, I found it here! And it’s only the most exciting highlights, absolutely thrilling!”

“Yes! Especially the moment Seven-Kill Star Sovereign bowed his head in defeat. That was the perfect ending!”

“This short video app is unbelievable. At first, it seemed ordinary, but the more I watch, the more fascinating it becomes. It’s impossible to stop!”

“Exactly! I love alchemy, and after just a few videos, most of my recommendations became alchemy-related, plus evaluations of different pill formulas! I even found several new ones worth studying.”

“The explanations from Sacred Land elders and disciples have been incredibly insightful.”

“Huh? Why are all of you getting cultivation-related content? My entire feed is filled with female cultivators from various Sacred Lands…”

“Haha! The app customizes recommendations based on your interests. Your preferences have been exposed, Daoist brother!”

“I always thought my Dao Heart was firm… but I couldn’t resist. This new app has shattered my Dao Heart! I must shout it to the heavens, I eagerly await more short videos from the Acacia Sect’s female cultivators!”

“Same here! I spent an entire night watching the female cultivators of Jade Pond Sacred Land. Videos are so much better than still images! So many beautiful, elegant women… I feel like rushing to Jade Pond right now!”

“I advise you not to court death. Jade Pond Sacred Land is guarded by Deity Transformation cultivators.”

“Even the Immortal Net Image Stones have been updated! Now, anyone can record short videos. I’m going to start making my own!”

“Why bother? Just watching is more enjoyable.”

“You clearly didn’t read the beginner’s guide. Making videos earns rewards!”

“Heh… I think this short video app is a complete waste of time. It makes you feel like you’re learning something, but the knowledge is too fragmented to be truly useful.”

Though a few skeptics voiced their concerns, their comments were drowned out by the flood of excitement.

Across two provinces, countless cultivators stayed up all night, glued to their screens.

When morning arrived, they stumbled out of their caves in a daze, realizing they had watched videos for an entire night.

But when they met fellow cultivators — all of whom had the same exhausted yet exhilarated expressions — they simply exchanged knowing smiles.

In groups of twos and threes, they began discussing what they had learned from the videos.

This phenomenon played out across all major sects and cities, demonstrating just how wildly successful Immortal Net Short Videos had become.

The app’s popularity wasn’t just because the videos were entertaining.

If it were only about fun, cultivators, who prided themselves on self-discipline, wouldn’t have been so deeply immersed.

Instead, they were gaining real benefits from it.

For instance, alchemy, artifact refining, and formation-setting techniques. Despite the short video format making knowledge more fragmented, they were purely distilled essence.

Sometimes, a single sentence in a video was enough to help an alchemist or artifact refiner break through bottlenecks they had been stuck in for years.

Even in cultivation itself, these short but insightful videos provided fresh perspectives, sparking new epiphanies.

Review videos, too, became invaluable.

With expert assessments of pills, magical artifacts, and cultivation techniques, cultivators could choose the most suitable ones, saving time and resources.

Even slice-of-life videos had their place.

For many cultivators, seeing how others lived in different parts of the world broadened their understanding of the cultivation world.

One day, such knowledge might prove useful.

And for sects that emphasized cultivating one’s Dao Heart, the wide variety of life experiences shown in short videos became an incredible tool for deepening their understanding.

Even videos of beautiful women served a purpose. That was helping cultivators relax before diving back into training.

The benefits of Immortal Net Short Videos far exceeded anyone’s expectations.

Beyond the videos themselves, some insightful cultivators and major factions quickly noticed something even more important — the immense business opportunities.

Every video currently on the platform was created by the three major Sacred Lands and the Gu Clan.

And every month, Immortal Net offered reward incentives for content creation.

The Heavenly Origin Sacred Land had outsourced the production of Little Spirit Communicators, yet they kept short video creation in-house.

This could only mean one thing — the profits from short videos were enormous.

And with how quickly the app had surpassed even Immortal Net Weibo in popularity, its advertising potential was staggering.

If a cultivator with a large Weibo following could already make a fortune through sponsorships, then surely short video creators could earn even more.

This realization sent countless sects and cultivators into a frenzy.

They immediately began studying the types of content that were already popular, selecting their own niches.

At the same time, they started experimenting with the updated Image Stones, learning how to film and upload videos.

Some of the faster learners had already started posting their first short videos.

Why?

Because the cultivation world was no longer what it used to be.

In the past, earning spirit stones required battles, life-and-death struggles.

Now, while fighting was still an option, why risk your life when you could make even more spirit stones from an app?

And so, the Great Short Video Craze was about to sweep across the entire cultivation world!
