Today's sixth update: Chapter 3740! 6/6!
Under the leadership of the two Bamboo Ancestors, bamboo lifeforms spent countless years exploring and comprehending within the Haotian Era before finally finding a cultivation path unique to themselves.
Taking inspiration from how wood-attribute lifeforms measured their cultivation through growth rings and the passage of years, they combined it with the natural traits of bamboo and created an entirely new cultivation system—
Using "nodes" to correspond to their ranks.
One node per level, ten levels per tier, ten tiers per realm.
Bamboo was naturally segmented.
Every node marked a stage in their lives, a testament to their growth.
Once they embarked upon cultivation, every node became a measure of their cultivation.
The more nodes they had, the higher their cultivation.
The sturdier their nodes, the greater their strength.
For herbaceous plant lifeforms, this system was unquestionably a cultivation reform of epoch-making significance.
If it could be widely promoted, it would benefit countless herbaceous lifeforms—
Those lowly herbaceous plants that could only look up at mighty wood-attribute beings and struggle to survive in their shadows;
Those ordinary plants that could never awaken, cultivate, or alter their fates throughout their entire lives;
Those innumerable lower-class lifeforms, ignored by all races and forgotten by history—
All of them would gain the opportunity to achieve tremendous growth through cultivation with this system!
What a grand vision.
Yet it was precisely the emergence of this cultivation method, capable of benefiting countless herbaceous lifeforms, that shook the foundations of the Wood Race.
Or rather, it threatened the interests of the Wood Race's ruling class.
Think about it.
Why could wood-attribute lifeforms occupy the dominant position within the Wood Race? Why did they control the right to speak and the right to distribute resources?
Because they possessed the innate Dao
