45 Chapter 45
The interior of the sacred tree wasn't covered in crisscrossing silk threads as Ning Shu had imagined. Instead, it was a vast expanse of white space, a very spacious one. Ning Shu looked left and right but couldn't see a single tangled thread. She looked at the sect leader and asked, "Mother, where are the threads of love we need to sort out?"
"This is the nest inside the sacred tree. The threads of love are the foundation of this space, so if you want to see them, you must go to the edge of the nest."
The sect leader took Ning Shu's hand and flew towards the edge in a certain direction, stopping only when they touched an "air wall". Ning Shu's hand gently stroked the air wall for a moment, and the invisible wall revealed its original form, which turned out to be a cocoon made up of countless golden threads.
"This is where the thread of love lies within the sacred tree. The successive sect leaders have painstakingly woven this wall that can convey messages between sisters." The sect leader directed Ning Shu to look at the golden light spots that shuttled rapidly through the golden threads:
"This is the message being passed on by the disciples within the sect. Our mission is to weave the recently collected threads of love into it and leave them for future disciples to use."
The Sect Master pointed to the mountain of love threads piled up on the other side. These densely packed threads were all collected during the finals and hadn't been able to be woven. "The meridians within the sacred tree can only function properly and even grow if they flow smoothly. So we must organize these love threads before it evolves."
Ning Shu looked down at the wall with dots of light flowing on it. Originally, the amount of love threads accumulated in the sacred tree was only slightly more than that of the disciples in the sect, so the extra love threads woven inside were not conspicuous. However, the higher up the tree went, the more dim and unactivated love threads there were, and the idle love threads on the top layer accounted for the majority.
If these accumulated threads of love were woven into the wall, the entire wall would become dull and lifeless. Ning Shu felt it was a bit of a waste to leave so many threads of love lying around.
"Mother, we've accumulated so much love that it wouldn't take hundreds of years to use it all up. It would be such a waste to just leave it here. Can we upgrade the love network? For example, give each disciple more love, so we can send pictures to each other?"
How long will my crappy 2G network last? Let me surf the internet!
"This... isn't a difficult task, but it's not practical." The clan leader hesitated for a moment and rejected his daughter's idea.
“Pictures are not like simple words. Sisters can convey their thoughts as soon as they think of them, and they can be received quickly and conveniently.
If they wanted to transmit an image, not only would the disciples have to use the Xuantong Mirror to freeze the image, but the image would suddenly appear before the recipient's eyes, obscuring their vision and disappearing before they could even see it clearly. This laborious and thankless function would eventually be left unused."
Not everyone can place giant spirit shadow stones and large Xuantong mirrors everywhere like Ning Shu to store and broadcast talent shows. The cultivation level of ordinary disciples can only transmit a few pictures at most, and if there is no corresponding storage magic weapon, the pictures will soon dissipate like words. Such a lot of trouble is simply meaningless.
"I see, I understand!" Ning Shu quickly understood the key point. She clenched her right fist and gently hammered her palm:
"Using a device like a phone to transmit information like text and images is inappropriate. If I want to create my ideal internet, I must at least build something like a forum!"
"Huh...what website? What's a forum?" The sect leader didn't understand at all.
"Nothing, nothing!" Ning Shu came back to her senses and looked at the Sect Master: "Mother, I was just thinking that it would be a waste to use such a huge amount of love to just convey a few words. I want to create a spiritual tool here that can store all information. Everyone can post everything they think of on it, so that pictures and texts can be preserved forever!"
"But..." The clan leader was still a little hesitant: "If everyone sends things up there, won't it be too chaotic?"
"No, no! Mother, listen to me. We will create some personal accounts based on the owners of the love threads, and then..."
A few days later, on the Mengying Island that the Hehuan Sect had specially reserved for the female group members to live in, all the female group members were unusually not practicing or cultivating. Instead, they gathered in a living room connected to all the bedrooms, looking at the notices distributed on the coffee table and looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What on earth is this... the Hehuan Forum beta version? Why did the Young Sect Master send us a message specifically asking us to learn how to use it?" Tieying thought it was because she hadn't been cultivating for so long that she couldn't keep up with the progress. She rubbed her hair in shame.
"The young master also told us to practice how to run a business there, and how to maintain fans in the future... I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand. Can anyone teach me?"
Baby Ye also raised his hand: "I... didn't quite understand..."
Liu Pianpian and Xiao Lihua didn't quite understand either, so everyone's hopeful eyes turned to Captain Shangguan Huaijin.
Shangguan Huaijin: ...
Do I really understand it?
"Ahem! Anyway, let's study it ourselves first!" Shangguan Huaijin skipped the topic, his right palm facing up: "Young Sect Leader said that now the love net not only has the function of directly conveying the heart's voice, but also can condense the threads of love in this way..."
At the same time as the golden thread appeared, a strange rectangular screen appeared in her palm. Most of the screen was blank, with only a small tree-shaped icon in the upper right corner.
"What is this?" Shangguan Huaijin subconsciously clicked on the single icon, and a tree pattern suddenly spread out, filling the entire screen. Baby Ye came over curiously, "Eh? Isn't this the sacred tree of our Hehuan Sect?"
"Could this be the beta version of that forum?"
"What exactly does a forum mean?"
"Beta version? Is there an external beta version?"
Several other girls also came over chattering. Under everyone's curious gaze, a row of small cursive characters appeared under the sacred tree icon:
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Soon, the icon with the poem shrank back to the upper left corner of the screen, and the screen, which was blank just now, suddenly had several rows of red fonts neatly displayed on it.

…
"How strange! Even though it's just some text, it feels quite lively!" Baby Ye read through the lines curiously. "It feels a bit like a sect conference, with all the elders and disciples gathered together..."
Tieying also found it very novel. She leaned on Ye Baobao's shoulder and pointed at the small words on the Treasure Pavilion: "Come to think of it, we just established our foundation not long ago. Isn't it better to report here?"
Shangguan Huaijin also thought it made sense, so she tapped the title and entered another page. Maybe because they opened the love website relatively late, this post was as lively as the outside world, with many people with strange names leaving messages below. Shangguan Huaijin also wanted to sign up, so she studied it for a while, and finally tapped the brush pattern in the lower right corner.
You are not a forum member yet. Would you like to register an account?
whether
A small pop-up window popped up. Shangguan Huaijin looked up at the other girls and finally clicked the "Yes" option.
After filling in a series of questions including nickname, identity, cultivation level, age, etc., Shangguan Huaijin, who was surfing the Internet for the first time, went to the previous post and left a message with his real name under the ID "Shangguan Huaijin".
Fifty-ninth Floor Shangguan Huaijin:
Elder, I, Liu Pianpian, Tieying, Xiaolihua and Ye Baobao have signed up.
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Almost the moment she sent the message, someone responded immediately.
Fifty-Nineth Floor, One: Dual Cultivation is Impossible (Admin):
Huaijin, you're here! Fire tongs Liu Ming!
Fifty-Nineth Floor, Part Two: Daylilies
Young Master, who is Liu Ming? Why are you using tongs? Are you torturing him in the torture chamber?
Chapter 59: Dual Cultivation is Impossible (Admin):
Sister, your associations are really scary! And don't call me that, I'm losing my voice... I mean, my identity has been recognized!
Fifty-Nine Floor, Part Four: The Movement of the Purple Star
Does she even need to call it out? Who else in the sect would come up with such a name besides you?
In addition to these meaningless and increasingly off-topic replies, there are also many comments like "Huai Jin, I like you so much!" "Miss Shangguan, can we add each other as friends?" "Greetings, Young Sect Master!" The originally quiet love website page kept ringing, and soon the building within the building was built into a skyscraper.
"Ah, what's going on? How do I turn this off?" Shangguan Huaijin was in a panic facing the red notification that was rapidly growing to ninety-nine. After fiddling with it for a long time, he finally deleted the offending comment.
"Huh..." The girls in the living room all breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Pianpian leaned over and studied the other people's messages again: "It seems that you only need to leave your department to facilitate the headcount. You don't need to leave your name."
"And it's obvious that other people didn't leave messages using their real names! Huaijin, let's just come up with a random name like them to blend in!" Baby Ye excitedly opened his love website, clicked on the registration page, and registered again with the name "Lucky Leaf".
"Hey? Look! Besides all those business announcements, there are also sisters sharing their experiences!" Baby Ye seemed to be very interested in the forum in front of her. After signing up, she flipped through the pile of posts and immediately pointed to one that was extremely popular and shared it with the others:
"This sister called 'Heartbreak Love Water' is here scolding her eighteen lovers!"
"Huh? Where is it?"
"I want to see it too! Open it quickly!"
"Eighteen already? Haven't you come across any good ones?"
"This sister is so unlucky. Take a look at what those 18 lovers are like. If you see them next time, stay away from them..."
Several other girls also opened their love networks, communicated with each other and started surfing the Internet happily.
