Chapter 40: Packaging and Sending - Primordial Saint Joins the Chat Group

In Marvel, Stark sat in his seat with a helpless look on his face. Before him, the Ancient One no longer sported a bald head, but had a cascade of glossy black hair. His features had become even more refined, as though he had swallowed who knew how many Marrow Cleansing Pills.

This was one of the benefits brought by cultivation.

Going bald? Cultivation solved that problem!

A haggard face? Cultivation solved that problem!

There was nothing cultivation could not solve. If there was, it only meant your cultivation was not advanced enough!

"Stark, I believe you have a way," the Ancient One said calmly.

"No, I don't. Ancient One, you have too much faith in me." Stark spread his hands. He had already @'d Lu Changsheng in the group, but Lu Changsheng was not replying, so there was nothing else he could do.

The Ancient One smiled and shook his head. "Take your time. There's no rush."

"Suit yourself. I have things to do later," Stark said.

A strange glimmer shifted through the Ancient One's eyes. He noticed the Crimson Phoenix Battle Armor stored against Stark's chest and sensed cultivation techniques from it. Stark truly was the backup Lu Changsheng had planted.

At the same time, as the only person in Marvel who had become immortal, the Ancient One keenly noticed that Stark had also attempted cultivation, though with poor results.

Of course, that was mostly because Stark was not diligent enough. Otherwise, at the very least, he would have achieved Qi Induction.

"Stark, good armor is good, but in the end, you must rely more on yourself," the Ancient One reminded him.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Stark did not take it too seriously.

The Ancient One looked up at the sky. "One more thing. He is about to arrive."

"Who?" Stark asked in confusion.

"You'll know soon enough. For now, you need to send me over there," the Ancient One said.

"I already said I really don't know how... Wait!" Stark abruptly stood up, his expression turning grave. "I think I've come up with a way."

"What way?" the Ancient One asked doubtfully.

Stark thought of the tipping feature in the Live Broadcast Room, as well as sending Red Packets in the Chat Group.

As long as it belonged to the sender, anything could be sent out as a Red Packet.

"Don't resist. Let me try." Stark said with interest.

"Hmm?" The Ancient One raised his brows, but still did as Stark said. As a True Immortal, the Ancient One's combat power could be said to be invincible among those of the same realm.

The reason the Ancient One had cultivated so quickly was also closely related to being in Marvel.

Among other things, he had used the power of the Time Stone to cultivate.

"Here goes." Stark pointed his hand at the Ancient One, closed his eyes, and immersed his mind in the Chat Group.

Inside the Chat Group—


[Iron Man sent a designated Red Packet—True Lord of Future Expectations.]

Takanashi Rikka: Holy crap, Uncle Stark sent a Red Packet.

Yatogami Tohka: But we can't claim it~

Dragon Maid: A Red Packet exclusively for True Monarch.

Daigo: What did Stark send?

Passerby Kamen Rider: I'm pretty curious.

Iron Man: It actually sent.

Deep Sea Otaku: So what exactly did you send? (⊙o⊙)

Octopus Head: վᴗի

Iron Man: There's a mage who seems to know True Monarch. True Monarch taught him cultivation methods, and now he came to find me, saying I had a way to teleport him over. I was wondering how I was supposed to send him over, but now I get it. I can just send him as a Red Packet.

Batman: ?You sent a person over as a Red Packet?

Mumen Rider: That sounds terrifying coming from Mr. Stark.

Takanashi Rikka: So scary, eek (Evil Eye of the Tyrant King Limited Edition)

Yatogami Tohka: Is that person okay, then?

Daigo: Hope they're okay.

Octopus Head: @True Lord of Future Expectations, pretending to be an expert by staying silent?

Deep Sea Otaku: True Monarch really is an expert, though.

Dragon Maid: Otaku telling the truth.

In the top-floor office of Avengers Tower, Stark looked at his hand and pondered for a moment. Then he called Rhode to prepare for a party.

The Ancient One? He had already sent him over, so it was no longer Stark's concern.

In Hong Huang, Lu Changsheng was lurking and watching the cultivation Chat Group.

Seeing everyone in the group discussing matters concerning the Shang Dynasty, he became interested as well.


Ah Bai Wants Longevity: Everyone, I think King Zhou of Shang's biggest problem was that he wasn't powerful enough and wasn't cautious enough.

Heavenly Machine Divine Calculator: Fellow Daoist, that makes sense, but what exactly should be done?

Ah Bai Wants Longevity: Although King Zhou of Shang is the Human Emperor, the feudal lords beneath him each have their own power. Once King Zhou violates their interests, it can easily trigger unrest in the Shang Dynasty. In the end, King Zhou of Shang lacks a force capable of suppressing the local feudal lords and replacing them. Moreover, not long ago, King Zhou of Shang did something foolish: he inscribed a poem insulting Saintess Nuwa at Nuwa Temple.

Mad Saber Daoist: Fellow Daoist Bai is absolutely right. The Human Race was born because of Nuwa, and Nuwa became a saint because of the Human Race. Saintess Nuwa was originally the Human Race's protector, but King Zhou of Shang's actions are equivalent to offending a saint.

White Cloud Fairy: The most important point is that the fall of the Shang Dynasty doesn't mean the Human Race will perish...

Lone: Stop scolding me, stop scolding me 😭

Great Mountain True Monarch: ?There are even emojis? Where do you send them?

Hebei Rogue: To be honest, there doesn't seem to be much point in us discussing this here.

Butterfly Dance Venerable: Hebei is clearly an honest man. Isn't it normal to chat after cultivation? Otherwise, why create a Chat Group? So everyone can go into seclusion, occasionally come out and find everyone else in seclusion, then continue their seclusion?

Mad Saber Daoist: That's an endless cycle of self-isolation.

Lone: @Ah Bai Wants Longevity, may I ask what brilliant insight Fellow Daoist Bai has?

Ah Bai Wants Longevity: I don't think freeing the slaves should be done first. Instead, recruit talented people widely, establish private schools, and cultivate capable children from poor families... Of course, this will likewise provoke a backlash from the various feudal lords. The most important thing is still centralizing power and weakening the local feudal lords. Only then can King Zhou of Shang put any ideas he has into practice.

Lone: Fellow Daoist sees things so deeply and clearly.

Heavenly Machine Divine Calculator: Indeed.

Mad Saber Daoist: This Fellow Daoist Ah Bai could be recruited as the Imperial Advisor of the Shang Dynasty.

Butterfly Dance Venerable: Come to think of it, King Zhou of Shang does seem to have recently issued some policies that benefit the people. Things like vigorously developing agriculture, growing grain, and putting out notices seeking capable people who can increase rice yields and improve rice varieties.

White Cloud Fairy: Oh? King Zhou of Shang has some vision after all, knowing to do this. But didn't we discuss these measures before? I didn't expect King Zhou of Shang to actually do them.

Heavenly Machine Divine Calculator: Fate is wondrous beyond words~

Lone: Maybe it's just a coincidence. But what should be done about the poem inscribed at Nuwa Temple? What do you all think? If you were King Zhou of Shang, how would you make up for it?

Mad Saber Daoist: Just go over and wipe off the poem? Apologize to Nuwa?

Heavenly Machine Divine Calculator: ?The Human Emperor's status is not low. Leaving aside whether King Zhou of Shang would agree, how can the Human Emperor go back on his word?

Butterfly Dance Venerable: Indeed.
