Chapter 73
Translator: NovelMultiverse Editor: NovelMultiverse
The mountainside had been turned into wasteland in the aftermath of the battle between the Yuan Yin Grandmasters . The fortresses of the Five Sects had all been pummeled to the ground . However, the little pond seemed to be unaffected; probably the work of the Closed Realm’s boundaries .
Although the Yu Qing students hadn’t done much, they had still experienced quite the traumatic experience, especially with the effect of the ghosts, and were pretty exhausted now . However, their eyes still shone with ambition: thirst for greater worlds and greater powers .
As for the students left to keep guard by the other Four Sects, it seems that they would most likely be in an unfortunate predicament; most likely killed by Cultivator Gui Xiao’s shadows upon entry . But, this wasn’t Yu Qing’s problem . After all, the students left by the Four Sects were all of Foundation State in cultivation .
Mo Rushi scanned the area and confirmed that none of the Four Sects had any survivors . He then proceeded to take out four paper cranes . Writing a message on each, he threw them all into the air . They flew like living birds, turning in the air, and each flying to their own destinations, quickly disappearing in the distance .
Seeing this, Ye Zan began stroking his chin in thought . Although these paper cranes looked astounding, they were still impractical in comparison to modern communication techniques .
There were many communication methods in this world . However, those that measured to the efficiency of those in the technological world were still nonexistent .
The secular world still used post stations and horses, or pigeon messengers . No matter taking in account efficiency or reliability, these methods were all impractical . The cultivational world was slightly better, with these paper cranes, flying swords, or communication pendants . However, each of these methods were still flawed .
Paper cranes were the most commonly used communication methods . Although they weren’t slow in speed, they were still unable to achieve instant messaging . Furthermore, if two people wanted to have deeper conversations, they would need to repeatedly make these cranes and exchange them continually . Flying swords were as they were stated: using flying swords of exchange messages . However, this was to be used solely between two close friends . If you weren’t in good terms with the other person, this could be seen as a method of intimidation or challenge .

Messaging pendants were the fastest of all communication methods, However, they were also the least used among the cultivators . The reason was simple: every message required one to shatter a jade pendant . The messages communicated would also need to be agreed upon prior . For example, under the circumstance of both sides already knowing what the message being sent would be, one side would break a pendant . This would be mirrored in the other person’s pendant . When their pendant broke as well, they would know this was a signal of the completion of whatever the planned message was .
In the eyes of a member of the technological world, although these methods working were astonishing, the efficiency and results were really laughable .
However, would this mean that the communication methods of the technological world would really reign supreme over the methods of this world?
Actually, the answer wasn’t so definite . Although from terms of efficiency, the methods of the technological world seemed to be superior . However, it was not so easy for the technological world to achieve this effect . For users, sending a message was as easy as pressing a button, but a large amount of work was needed for this to be able to be utilized .
Not even taking into account the wisdom of predecessors or the countless efforts of the countless; just the process of sending a message would require a transit station . And no matter the satellites of ground network, these would all require huge amounts of energy to create . Furthermore, maintenance in the technological world would require a lot of resources; especially as they had developed to space communication .

As for this realm, excluding the secular methods and speaking solely of the cultivation world’s three techniques, communication would only require the efforts of the two transmitters . No matter the results or usability, they would only require a single payment, like the use of spiritual energy .
So, here appeared the problem . If Ye Zan wanted to develop communication in this world, he would be unable to ignore the central problem of the transit stations .
The communication devices the Yu Qing students had used within the Closed Realm had been restricted by distance . It was just that the Closed Realm was only so large, the section left for the Yu Qing Sect being even smaller . There wasn’t a chance for them to part .
As for this “magical” world? It was unbelievably vast, with its boundaries unmeasurable . It was almost comparable to the solar system of the technological world . In such a vast area, it would be impossible for them to utilize technology without a transit station . Of course, the space of the technological world was scarier .

But there was no space in this world .
There were two ways a signal could be transitioned: through a satellite or through a ground network system . Satellites were the less costly option, but Ye Zan directly ignored them . There was no space in this world; it was truly a “space” . This didn’t really mean that there was nothing there . From reports, there were great storms that blew past frequently, with all sorts of deadly energies . Even Celestial Beings would be unlikely to survive them; not to speak of a mere satellite . If fact, they would probably be blown apart on impact .
So, ground networks were still more reliable .
Ye Zan wasn’t just imagining . He was really planning for such things . In a smaller view, it would greatly improve communication among the Yu Qing Sect . To greater ambitions, he could probably create an international communication company in this world . Of course, this company was solely for later days . From their skills of the present, it would be impossible for Yu Qing to protect such assets .
Ye Zan had learned from his mistakes in this field . In the technological world, if his family hadn’t been so hungry for power, releasing the dimensional methods in early stages, then maybe he wouldn’t be where he was today .
Ye Zan was planning silently, seeming to appear solemn . Mo Rushi saw this scene and assumed that this Taishang had been startled . After all, though Ye Zan was of high generational ranking, he was still young . It wasn’t that every person would be able to experience such things and remain unmoved .
“Junior,” Mo Rushi came to Ye Zan’s side, worriedly calling .
