Chapter 944 Free Promotion
Although this world has various means of remote communication.

Some of these technologies are so powerful that they resemble interstellar communication methods.

Logically speaking, it's quite normal for news from the [Shuiyan Silver Sea] to spread so quickly.

But this is not a modern society or a normal world.

The environmental differences between those domains are often so vast that they seem like completely different worlds...

Therefore, even if the relevant information could indeed circulate remotely, it is absolutely impossible for Wu Yuan's news to become widely known in the foreign land so quickly. At most, only a very few people with exceptionally good information would hear some rumors.

Generally speaking.

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least two or three years for such news to develop and spread to the extent it has today.

After all, the [Water Smoke Silver Sea] alone is already extremely vast, enough to accommodate countless billions of living beings and be divided into countless regions.

Faced with such a complex environment, even with special means to spread various messages, actual efficiency will still be a major problem.

It's important to understand that... even though the [Domain] is the one with the best environment, the most resources, and the strongest strength among the surrounding [Domains], there are still occasional situations within the [Water Smoke Silver Sea Domain] where a certain area suffers a major disaster, and it takes a long time for the other areas to learn of the situation. There is simply no possibility of real-time information exchange.

It is precisely because of this.

When Bai Jingshu heard from her sect elders that a large number of young cultivators from other realms had come specifically for Ling Wuyuan, she immediately sensed that something was amiss and contacted him.

However, Ling Wuyuan responded to her question.

She also realized that she might be overthinking things.

He then began to secretly speculate:

'Could it be that this whole thing was actually orchestrated by Pavilion Master Su and her group?'

'Did they choose to generate momentum for Wu Yuan by spreading messages to the outside world?'

'But for the Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion, it seems that this matter is of little significance...'

For a while.

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Bai Jingshu's mind.

The most frequent question is doubt.

Because she felt that the mastermind behind the incident was most likely Su Qingyue and others.

After all, who would be so bored as to help someone else farm reputation for free?
Isn't this just a case of having nothing better to do?

She had no idea that the mastermind behind it all was actually the main organizer of the Jade Court Martial Arts Tournament, which Ling Wuyuan would soon be participating in.

Similarly, although he answered her question, Ling Wuyuan still had some doubts.

He didn't quite understand how his news had spread so quickly to various surrounding domains, nor did he comprehend what driving force could compel so many of his peers to go to such lengths to challenge him from afar...

He felt that, given the commotion he had caused before, it was far from being as tempting as he thought.

Unless some powerful force exaggerates his achievements in various foreign lands, or even fabricates fake news on the spot, praising him to the skies... then those who want to prove themselves might actually travel over mountains and rivers to come and get beaten up.

He knew very well that, for the surrounding [domains], the [Water Smoke Silver Sea Domain] essentially had the feel of a place for proving one's Dao. Everyone believed that only by making a name for oneself honestly and openly here could one be considered to have achieved success and fame. Therefore, if a force outside could stir up trouble for him, it was indeed possible to attract some wild NPCs to him.

But... is that reasonable?
No matter how carefully he thought about it, Ling Wuyuan himself felt that things were not quite reasonable.

This is as unreasonable as someone in the era of internet traffic inexplicably and voluntarily helping others increase their traffic.

Are you here doing charity work?!

'So, could it be that the whole thing started because Pavilion Master Su and the others wanted to take advantage of the situation and let [Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion] steal the limelight?'

'Although the Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion rarely makes headlines and is known for its quiet atmosphere, occasionally making a splash is still beneficial for strengthening internal cohesion and increasing external prestige... But if it really is Pavilion Master Su and the others, they seem to have no reason to hide it from me, right?'

Ultimately, after scratching his head, Ling Wuyuan decided to give up on the idea.

Because he was certain that recently, no one had informed him that "so-and-so wants to challenge him." This meant that either the members of "Snow Moon Cloud Pavilion" had directly rejected any attempts by outsiders to challenge him, or those guys had already found a very suitable opportunity to challenge him and didn't need to make a special effort to gain attention.

And that so-called opportune moment...

Without a doubt, only the Jade Court Martial Arts Tournament!
So, regardless of the truth, all he really needs to do is beat all those challengers up when the time comes.
Think of this.

He had already realized that Tianji City had most likely already leaked the news that he would be participating in the Jade Court Martial Arts Tournament.

They didn't seem to mind.

However, even so, he still didn't realize that Tianji City was actually the mastermind behind all this commotion, and was completely unaware that they would be helping him build reputation and create momentum for him for no reason...

of course.

at the very beginning.

In fact, even Su Qingyue and the others did not realize that such a thing would happen in Tianji City.

Therefore, when they first received the news that Tianji City was already touting Ling Wuyuan as the future leader of the entire Shuiyan Silver Sea, they were utterly dumbfounded...

Even though they had already tacitly accepted that the other party had spread the news that Ling Wuyuan would participate in the Jade Court Martial Arts Tournament in advance, they really did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to create momentum for Ling Wuyuan, and on such a large scale.

Are you that polite over there?

They actually gave us free publicity!?

In short.

Faced with this kind of operation over there.

After thinking it over for a while.

Su Qingyue and the others felt that things were not a loss at all, and that they had actually made a huge profit.

After all, while fame may backfire on its owner, that is only if the owner is merely a figurehead.

Regarding Ling Wuyuan… Su Qingyue and the others felt that the related publicity was truly a perfect match, perfectly aligning with the promotional content from [Tianji City]!
Therefore, Su Qingyue and the others simply accepted the other party's free publicity without any hesitation, not feeling that there was anything wrong with the matter at all!
