Chapter 314: User Agreement! A Heavenly Dao Oath!

The long-awaited update moment had finally arrived.

Countless cultivators, upon seeing the update notification, immediately set aside whatever they were doing.

They patiently waited for the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator update to complete.

Even someone as esteemed as the Jade Pond Saint Master had called the new application “unbelievable.”

This heightened everyone’s curiosity about what the upcoming app might be.

What kind of app could prompt such a statement from a Saint Master?

Everyone waited with bated breath.

This time, the update seemed particularly lengthy.

After more than a hundred breaths, many cultivators grew restless.

When the update finally completed, a notification sound rang out.

Countless cultivators eagerly entered the Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator homepage.

Immediately, the familiar new version update notes popped up on their screens:

“Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator Version 1.7 Update Notes:

“The service region for Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator has expanded to include Penglai Island!

“All Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator applications are now accessible to cultivators from Penglai Island.

“Penglai Island cultivators can complete real-name authentication at any of the 20 Heavenly Origin Pavilions on the island to unlock app functionalities.

“When purchasing goods from Great Yan Province, auctioning treasures, or sending packages across provinces, Penglai Island users will incur an additional cross-province delivery fee.

“The cross-province delivery fee is 10 mid-grade spirit stones.

“Cross-province transfers and withdrawals via Immortal Net FlashPay have no transaction fees.”

Although Heavenly Origin Sacred Land had yet to formally enter the market of the Mingwang Province, the completion of the cross-province teleportation array allowed them to establish a foothold at Penglai Island, a key transit hub, in preparation for future trade.

Over the past five months, Heavenly Origin Sacred Land had opened dozens of Heavenly Origin Pavilions across Penglai Island, covering the island with their services.

Additionally, given the daily transport of overseas goods through the cross-province teleportation array — each activation costing 500 high-grade spirit stones — they decided to maximize its use by enabling package deliveries, generating additional income.

This update left countless cultivators in Great Yan Province astonished.

Heavenly Origin Sacred Land, already a behemoth, had now extended its business to Penglai Island.

Could it be that one day, the entire cultivation world would use Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator for seamless delivery and cross-province shopping?

For ordinary cultivators in Great Yan Province, this news was surprising but had little direct impact on them. Penglai Island was not a place they could casually visit.

However, for the millions of cultivators residing on Penglai Island, it was a moment of immense joy.

The fact that Penglai Island cultivators could now fully use Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator’s functionalities was nothing short of a major breakthrough.

Despite its small size, Penglai Island had nearly ten million cultivators.

Ever since Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator’s initial release, many Great Yan Province merchants had resold the devices at marked-up prices to the island, making it highly popular there.

However, due to functional limitations, Penglai cultivators could only use the communication features.

Convenient apps like online shopping, classes, or delivery services were unavailable to them.

As for lottery systems, interest-bearing accounts, and cultivation loans that had caused a sensation, they could only watch in envy.

For the past two years, they had admired Great Yan cultivators immensely, eagerly awaiting the day Heavenly Origin Sacred Land would officially expand to Penglai Island.

That day had finally come, prompting cheers from millions of cultivators on Penglai Island.

After their initial surprise, cultivators continued reading the update notes.

Aside from the inclusion of Penglai Immortal Island, the Version 1.7 update had only one additional highlight:

“New Application: Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion.”

Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion?

The name immediately piqued the interest of countless cultivators, sparking a sense of anticipation.

Sutra Pavilions were a familiar concept in the cultivation world.

Every sect and major power had one, housing valuable techniques coveted by all cultivators.

The rarity and value of cultivation techniques were well understood — so rare, in fact, that they were often impossible to purchase.

Could it be that this Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion was a platform for buying techniques?

The mere thought filled cultivators with joy.

If true, it would be a monumental boon for Great Yan Province cultivators.

No wonder the Jade Pond Saint Master had spoken so highly of it.

But questions remained: How many techniques would the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion offer?

Would Heavenly Origin Sacred Land sell the techniques themselves, or would it operate like an auction house?

Would it include rare techniques above the Profound Tier?

Brimming with curiosity, cultivators immediately closed the update notes and entered the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion homepage.

The app’s icon was a grand and majestic image of a Sutra Pavilion.

Seeing this icon confirmed their guesses, and they quickly tapped to open the app.

However, to their surprise, the first thing that appeared wasn’t the usual usage guide.

Instead, it was a “Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion User Agreement.”

User agreement?

What is this?

The crowd immediately focused their attention, carefully reading the agreement:

“All cultivation techniques, dao arts, divine abilities, pill recipes, formations, and talismans within the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion are jointly copyrighted by Heavenly Origin Sacred Land and the uploader.

“Users are strictly prohibited from sharing any virtual goods purchased from the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion with others in any form.

“To use the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, users must make a Heavenly Dao Oath before the Immortal Net Image Stone.

“The content of the Heavenly Dao Oath follows a standard format and will be reviewed by designated personnel.

“I, [Name], hereby swear to the Heavenly Dao that I will never share any of the items purchased from the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion with others…

“I also promise…

“Should I violate this oath…”

Reading this user agreement left all the cultivators dumbfounded.

For the first time, they encountered such a requirement.

Using this application actually required making a Heavenly Dao Oath?

It was utterly absurd.

However, considering the context of cultivation techniques, they could somewhat understand.

In the cultivation world, all major sects and powers highly valued the inheritance of their techniques.

To prevent leaks, even disciples of sects or clans were required to swear oaths not to share their techniques.

The Heavenly Dao Oath was the strictest type of oath in the cultivation world.

Because the Heavenly Dao truly existed in this world, breaking such an oath would sever one’s path to immortality and bring severe consequences.

At the bottom of the user agreement, there were three options:

Decline the agreement and exit the application.

Agree to the agreement and immediately make the oath using a Immortal Net Image Stone.

Agree to the agreement but temporarily forgo the oath due to lacking a Image Stone. The application could be explored but with no functionality available.

In simple terms: if you don’t agree, you can’t use it.

If you agree and swear immediately, you gain full access.

If you don’t have a Image Stone, you can preview but not use anything.

Immortal Net Image Stones had been popular for some time, and most cultivators in Great Yan Province already owned one.

Additionally, most cultivators weren’t opposed to swearing an oath. After all, it simply promised not to share techniques from the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion.

Thus, many immediately clicked to swear the oath.

The page transitioned, prompting them to place their Immortal Net Image Stone in front of them and begin the oath.

The oath was short and straightforward, and the process wasn’t cumbersome.

Once the oath was complete, approval was granted, and access was unlocked.

Some cultivators, however, chose to preview the app first by selecting the third option.

The Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion was the seventh app released on Heavenly Origin Little Spirit Communicator.

Unlike the previous six apps, this one required a Heavenly Dao Oath before use.

This unique requirement heightened its mystique, leaving cultivators even more curious about what the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion might offer.

After agreeing to the terms, the app’s usage instructions finally appeared.

Yet, many cultivators skipped the instructions entirely.

They could always read the instructions later.

At this moment, they only wanted to know one thing: Did the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion truly offer cultivation techniques?

In the cultivation world, techniques were invaluable.

Many cultivators found their progress stagnating due to a lack of advanced techniques.

Others were dissatisfied with their current techniques and yearned for more powerful ones but had no alternatives.

For these cultivators, their anticipation for the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion was unparalleled.

When they impatiently entered the app’s homepage and saw the vast array of techniques on display, their eyes widened in shock.

At that moment, across countless regions of Great Yan Province, exclamations echoed everywhere:

“A Heaven-tier low-grade technique?!”

“An Earth-tier high-grade technique?!”

“I’ve been searching everywhere for the Foundation Establishment technique of Everlasting Spring Art, and here’s the complete set, all the way to Nascent Soul Realm!”

“Why are the techniques in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion so affordable?!”

Countless cultivators were left utterly stunned, as if witnessing a miracle.

Even those who hadn’t initially paid attention to the update were drawn in by the commotion.

As more and more cultivators accessed the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, the entire Great Yan Province seemed to fall silent in collective disbelief.

The techniques displayed on the Pavilion’s homepage were simply too extraordinary.

In the cultivation world:

Yellow-tier techniques were the mainstay for rogue cultivators and small sects.

Profound-tier techniques were what most cultivators aspired to learn.

Earth-tier techniques were extremely rare, reserved for elders and prodigies of second-rate sects.

Heaven-tier techniques? Those were practically mythical, rarely seen even in major sects.

Yet here, in the Immortal Net Sutra Pavilion, Heaven-tier techniques were available for purchase — seemingly by anyone.

It was utterly surreal, like a divine dream.

This moment left not just rogue cultivators and small sects astounded.

Even powerful figures from major factions, including Nascent Soul cultivators, were overwhelmed with disbelief.

Their expressions betrayed their struggle to believe what they were seeing.

Had Heavenly Origin Sacred Land lost their minds?
