Adding Points to Enter the Dao, Ninth Grade

Whoosh!

All the scenes of evolution vanished.

Jiang Tu's consciousness fell from the years of ten thousand years ago, and the golden light before his eyes receded. "This...?"

You cliffhanger-mongering bastard!

Does your conscience not hurt, cutting it off here?!

What happened next? Tell me, what happened next?!

Jiang Tu took a deep breath. In his previous life, he had hated cliffhanger-mongers most when reading webnovels. He had never expected to be cut off by a lousy tome in this life!

However, he quickly calmed down and fell into brief thought.

"After testing it, my guess has basically been confirmed. The Sequence Golden Codex really can create unique occupational sequence paths through evolution, and after the evolution ends... grant corresponding rewards based on the process of evolution."

"Most importantly, it can actually load the evolved sequence into reality!"

"What kind of terrifying changes will that bring to this Immortal-Phantom World...?"

"And once more sequence cultivators are born in this world, can I obtain feedback from them?!"

Reviewing this evolution, he quickly realized a major problem!

"Wait! Evolution loads models of everything in the Immortal-Phantom World in all respects. That means all the evolution logs I saw were very likely past history personally experienced by this world... To witness all this from the perspective of an observer looking down from above is truly inconceivable!"

"That also means I can gradually uncover countless secrets of the world and mysteries of ancient and modern times simply by following the evolution process from home."

"However, why did the evolution begin at the Primordial Immortal Calamity from thirty thousand years ago? That point in time... seems to have been precisely when the immortal path was severed and phantoms ran rampant. A new path was needed to enlighten later generations and save humankind..."

"It was mentioned at the beginning that after the immortal path was severed, every cultivator in the world suffered backlash from their cultivation. At best, their realms plummeted; at worst, they died on the spot...!"

"Then where did the Daoist Sects that now sheltered various regions, as well as the rumored Western Buddhist Sect, obtain their inheritances? Did those inheritances suffer backlash as well? Was danger hidden within them!?"

Before he figured out those secrets, he had to hide himself as thoroughly as possible and could not expose himself!

Phantoms were rarely seen under the rule of the Daoist Sects, and everything appeared peaceful on the surface, yet it seemed that an unspeakably enormous danger lay concealed beneath!

All sorts of strange thoughts flickered endlessly through his mind.

The next moment, golden light flashed before his eyes!

Whoosh!

First, a stack of yellowed papers appeared out of thin air, no fewer than twenty or thirty pages, densely covered in writing.

Jiang Tu reached out to touch them, only for the sheets to transform into brilliant streams of light and drill into his body.

Hiss!

The farming knowledge he was already familiar with was reorganized, becoming clearer and more thorough.

Things he had previously known only in part suddenly became crystal clear!

Better still, he had grasped knowledge he had never known before: ancient crops that had vanished long ago, lost composting methods, and how to rotate different crops across the land to maintain soil fertility. All of it was immensely practical.

As he digested the new knowledge, his right hand suddenly grew heavy.

A hoe appeared out of thin air!

Jiang Tu lowered his head to look, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

The handle was merely ordinary hardwood, while the iron hoe blade was covered in rust. It looked utterly shabby...

This broken hoe was all he got?

"Luo Jin's Hoe"

"Description: This is the hoe I used for three years. There was no good iron and no good wood, but it accompanied me as I opened my first field and planted my first crop of grain. I sharpened its blade with my own hands! It isn't a good hoe, but it is my brother."

"Effect: When used, it can moderately improve farming efficiency and moderately increase physical strength."

Jiang Tu stared at the description, stunned for quite a while.

"Hmm... It even has additional effects?"

He tried making a hoe-swinging motion. The blade sliced into the soil with exceptional smoothness! It was actually more convenient to use than any hoe he had used in the past!

This... was the hoe used by an Eighth Grade "Field Steward"?

Interesting!

He admitted that he had spoken a little too loudly just now! He took it back, all right?

Holding the hoe, Jiang Tu suddenly felt somewhat heartbroken.

A twelve-year-old slave boy, hiding from place to place in a chaotic age where human lives were as cheap as grass, had opened schools and cultivated land, cautiously concealed his abilities, and stubbornly ignited the fire of the Agricultural Path with this broken hoe.

When he looked at the hoe again, he liked it more and more.

Its effects were practical too. He could do more work while saving strength.

Wait...

The smile on Jiang Tu's face suddenly froze.

After obtaining a supernatural item, the first thing he fucking thought of was actually doing more farm work?

Damn it!

He really was born with the fate of a workhorse!

There was no saving him.

Whoosh!

With a flash of light, a brand-new interface appeared on the Sequence Golden Codex—

"Agricultural Dao Sequence"

(Note: The results of this sequence's evolution have been loaded into the local world. Sequence cultivators will subsequently be born in the local world. Its development ceiling and development speed will be determined by the sequence's evolution progress. As the total number of cultivators increases and the sequence's influence rises, Karma Points and additional special rewards will be obtained.)

"Sequence Number: 01"

"Current Evolution Progress: Eighth Grade · 'Field Steward'"

"Total Number of Cultivators in This Sequence: 0"

"Sequence Influence Level: lv0 (No One Cares)"

"Harvestable Karma Points: 0"

(Note: Karma Points can only be obtained through sequence feedback in the local world. Karma Points can be used to enhance occupational levels, pray for blessings, bestow grace, and more.)

Jiang Tu's eyes lit up.

As expected, evolution did not end once it was loaded. As more sequence cultivators were born in the world and more changes occurred, he could also enjoy the resulting karmic feedback.

Its uses were inexhaustible!

The Sequence Golden Codex truly deserved to be called a transmigrator's golden finger!

Awesome!

"Name: Jiang Tu"

"Lifespan: 22/68" (+)

"Cultivation: Mortal Body (Unranked)" (+)

"Remaining Evolution Duration: Less Than One Year" (+)

"Sequence Points: 65"

"Karma Points: 0"

"Dao Foundation: None"

(Note: Sequence Points can only be obtained after evolution settlement. They can be used to increase lifespan, improve cultivation, increase the accumulation speed of evolution duration, and more.)

Jiang Tu began calculating in his heart.

There was no urgent need to worry about lifespan for now. The Golden Tome showed that he could live to sixty-eight, and he was still very young.

Cultivation and the accumulation speed of evolution duration were what he needed most urgently!

The twenty-two years and seven months of evolution duration he had possessed before had clearly accumulated at a one-to-one ratio with real-world time because he was twenty-two this year. It absolutely needed acceleration; otherwise, he could only wait sluggishly for time to accumulate. Evolution was far too unsatisfying that way.

"Add points!"

Whoosh!

"30 Sequence Points consumed. Evolution duration accumulation speed has increased—"

"From now on, every year of real time will grant an additional two months of evolution duration."

Jiang Tu calculated silently.

Fourteen months of evolution duration per year... Though the increase was not great, it would last forever. Drop by drop, it would fill the river; grain by grain, it would pile into a tower. The future was promising!

Whoosh!

"35 Sequence Points consumed. Cultivation has increased!"

"Cultivation: Newly Entering the Dao Path (Agricultural Dao Sequence · Ninth Grade · Farmer) (35/200)"

In that instant.

The farming he had accumulated day after day over the past three years, along with the knowledge inheritance newly gained from the evolution logs, all fused together seamlessly at this moment—

Boom!

As though enlightenment had been poured into his head, a warm current surged forth invisibly, rushing through his limbs and bones. His entire body became warm from the inside out.

Immediately after.

A tingling, itchy sensation spread throughout his body. His muscles swelled, his skin wriggled, as though he were undergoing a unique transformation.

His constitution experienced a subtle strengthening and sublimation. His physique became increasingly robust, and the lines of his body and muscles became smoother.

Even the lifespan displayed in the Golden Codex changed—

"Lifespan: 22/70"

Though it had only increased by two short years, this was merely the beginning of the great path of cultivation!

As his cultivation climbed step by step in the future... his constitution, lifespan, and even his ability to transcend the mundane would all become immeasurable!

Boom!

Immediately afterward!

The world before his eyes seemed to undergo subtle changes as well. The earth seemed to breathe and exhale, to possess energy veins and warmth. He could even vaguely sense earthworms turning, roots stretching, and moisture seeping through the soil one foot beneath his feet.

The distant wheat fields also seemed newly born, stretching their waists and swaying in rolling waves.

Even the weather of the four seasons seemed different!

He could sense the humidity changing, the wind flowing, and the clouds piling up. It was not some mysterious resonance between heaven and man, but rather like an old farmer observing the sky—he could naturally understand the shifting signs of the weather.

This was Newly Entering the Dao Path, transcending the mundane!

This was Ninth Grade · "Farmer"!

Good! Too good!!

More than three years of hard work... had indeed not been in vain!

Jiang Tu gripped the hoe tightly and casually dug into the ground.

Hiss!

The hoe blade cut deeply into the soil, more than half a foot deeper than usual, and without the slightest effort!

He froze, then tried again.

Hiss—whoosh!

As the power within his body continued to surge, this time was even easier than the last. With one swing, a large swath of earth was turned over.

"This... The improvement brought by a Ninth Grade Farmer truly is quite remarkable! My strength has at least doubled compared to before...!"

After testing it for a while, he slung Luo Jin's Hoe over his shoulder and strolled toward the broken house at the end of the village, unable to stop himself from humming a tune~

Next, all he had to do was lie low and develop, farm and cultivate, earn money and manage his affairs, then wait for the first batch of Agricultural Dao Sequence cultivators to be born in the world, wait for Karma Points to flow in, and wait for the passage of time to accumulate enough for the next evolution.

As he waited, time flowed on, years flew like a shuttle, and five years passed in a hurry...

In places beyond his sight, a brand-new Agricultural Dao Sequence was quietly being born!
