Looking at the familiar app on the phone screen, Lin Ye, who originally had a bit of disdain for this so-called system, now felt somewhat comforted.
"Forget it. Even if this system is useless, at least I won't be bored anymore. When the pressure of cultivation gets too much, I can still scroll through TikTok."
"Speaking of which, ever since I crossed into this world, I haven't used TikTok at all. I wonder if I can still see those pretty girls from my previous life, hehe." As he spoke, he clicked open TikTok full of anticipation.
But after only a few seconds, his face fell.
"Are you kidding me? Why are there no videos at all?"
"Is it because there's no internet?"
"No, that can't be. There's a network icon, and the system just mentioned the interstellar network."
After a round of fruitless investigation, Lin Ye suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Right, I'm the only one in this world with a phone, so naturally there are no videos on TikTok." To verify this guess, he quickly clicked the plus sign below to enter shooting mode.
To his great surprise, the music and effects from his previous life were still there. He then randomly chose a piece of music and filmed a 15-second video of his face. After filming, he chose to publish it.
Without any accident, the video was posted instantly, even faster than the 5G network of his past life. When he returned to the homepage again, he did find the video he had just shot.
"It seems my guess was right. There are no videos because no one is posting, not because of the network issue."
"If that's the case..."
At this moment, Lin Ye suddenly thought of a way that could ease the tensions between the Righteous and Demonic Paths and reduce the over-competition in the cultivation world.
As everyone knows, the reason why the Righteous and Demonic Paths are always at war is that besides fighting, they have nothing else to do.
Especially those demonic cultivators under him, they are all like super-charged warriors. In a world severely lacking in entertainment, killing became their best form of amusement.
The righteous cultivators were the same. Besides cultivating, they just cultivated more. After seclusion, they fought, and when they lost, they returned to seclusion.
If they had more entertainment options to pass the time, they wouldn't be thinking about killing all the time.
Just like in his previous life, why did all countries push to develop the entertainment industry? It was for stability.
Entertainment could not only dilute the fighting spirit between righteous and demonic cultivators, but it also had another benefit, which was slowing their cultivation speed.
Instead of improving oneself, it's better to influence others. If others cultivate slower, that's equivalent to his own cultivation speeding up.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn't hold back a smile. He immediately opened the system's shop again. Then he spent ten thousand spirit stones in one go to buy ten thousand phones.
Just like the one he previously bought, these phones were also connected to the interstellar network and came pre-installed with TikTok.
During the process, Lin Ye tested them out. To his surprise, the quality of the phones was very good, equivalent to the level of ordinary magical tools.
Not only were they drop-proof, but also waterproof and fireproof. They didn't even need charging and could absorb spiritual energy from the air to recharge.
In addition to basic functions like calling, taking photos, and using a flashlight, they had everything.
What surprised Lin Ye the most was that these phones even required top-ups. The basic monthly charge was one spirit stone, and calls and messages were charged separately.
Discovering this point made his eyes light up instantly because this meant that as long as enough people had phones, he could earn a massive amount in rebates.
But to fully promote the phones, he couldn't just rely on the calling function, since the Tianyuan Continent already had communication treasures.
"So next, I need to figure out how to produce more video content." Saying this, he stored all ten thousand phones into his space ring and strode out of the grand hall.
When he arrived at the entrance of the hall, a black demonic tiger that had been lying under the stone steps slowly stood up. It walked to his side and rubbed its huge head against Lin Ye's body.
This pitch-black demonic tiger was his mount, the Nether Tiger King, an eighth-rank demonic beast equivalent to a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Because the original body had signed a blood contract with it, the tiger was extremely docile around Lin Ye. Casually patting the tiger's head, he leapt onto its back.
"Go, to the Cha-Nü Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nether Tiger King carried him into the sky as a demonic wind.
In less than a minute, man and beast arrived at a serene, birdsong-filled mountain peak.
This was the territory of one of the eight major sects under the Demonic Path, the Cha-Nü Sect.
The Cha-Nü Sect, under the Heavenly Demon Sect, had three thousand female cultivators who practiced the Cha-Nü Heart Sutra. The higher their cultivation, the more beautiful they became. Every member of the sect was a stunningly beautiful.
Perhaps sensing Lin Ye's arrival, several figures turned into lights and flew toward him. Leading them was the same enchanting woman in black gauze from before. She was also the sect master of the Cha-Nü Sect, the Yin Empress Bai Qingxuan.
When she saw Lin Ye, her eyes instantly lit up, and she walked over gracefully with light steps.
"Master, did you come just to see me?"
"Indeed. I came specifically to find you." Lin Ye nodded and jumped down from the Nether Tiger. But before he could react, he felt a fragrant breeze brush past.
Bai Qingxuan was already right in front of him. Her seductive eyes almost froze him in place.
"Master, have you finally decided to dual cultivate with me?"
"Uh, not exactly. I'm here today for something important. This concerns the survival of our Demonic Path. We'll talk about dual cultivation later."
Hearing this, Bai Qingxuan was visibly disappointed.
"Alright then."
"But I am curious. What matter could possibly concern the life and death of the Demonic Path?"
"I'll explain it to you later. For now, gather all the disciples in your sect who are good at singing and dancing."
Though she didn't understand why Lin Ye made such a request, Bai Qingxuan still followed the order.
When Lin Ye was brought to the main hall of the Cha-Nü Sect, several hundred beautiful female cultivators with flawless appearances and figures were already assembled.
Any one of them could easily overshadow the internet celebrities from his previous life. Because of their cultivation method, even without doing anything they radiated an irresistible charm.
Looking around, Lin Ye couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
"Good. Very good. Keep all of them here."
As soon as he said this, the eyes of the women below lit up. Their expressions looked like they wanted to devour Lin Ye.
Bai Qingxuan, on the other hand, looked at him with a hint of surprise.
"Master, are you sure your body can handle all of them?"
"Ahem, what are you thinking? That's not what I meant." Lin Ye waved his hand and brought out the phones he had bought earlier.
"Distribute these magical tools to them."
"This is..." Bai Qingxuan took one and showed a confused expression.
"This is called a phone. I'll personally teach you all how to use it in a moment." After saying that, Lin Ye couldn't help but smile slightly.
For those old cultivator shut-ins in the cultivation world, what could be more attractive than videos of beautiful women?
