Whoosh!
All scenes of the evolution vanished.
Jiang Tu's consciousness fell from the passage of ten thousand years ago, the golden light before his eyes drawing in. "This...?"
You cliffhanger bastard!
Does your conscience not hurt, cutting it off there?!
What happened next? I'm asking you, what happened next?!
Jiang Tu took a deep breath. In his previous life, he had hated cliffhanger authors most when reading webnovels. He had never expected to be cliffhangered by a lousy book in this life!
But he quickly calmed down and fell into brief contemplation.
"After testing it, my guess has basically been confirmed. The Sequence Golden Codex really can create unique Professional Sequence paths through evolution, and after the evolution ends... grant corresponding rewards based on the process of that evolution."
"Most importantly, it can even load the evolved sequence into reality!"
"What kind of terrifying changes will that bring to this Immortal-Phantom World...?"
"And when 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 fully loads every model of the Immortal-Phantom World. That means every evolution log I saw was very likely past history this world had personally experienced... Witnessing all of it from the stance of an observer looking down from above is truly unimaginable!"
"That also means I can stay at home and, as evolution progresses, gradually uncover the countless secrets and ancient mysteries of this world."
"But 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 humanity..."
"It was mentioned at the beginning that after the immortal path was severed, cultivators throughout 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 now sheltering their regions, and the legendary Western Buddhist Sect, get their inheritances? Did their inheritances suffer the same backlash? Is danger lurking in the shadows!?"
Before he figured out these secrets, he had to hide himself as thoroughly as possible and could not expose himself!
Under the rule of the Daoist Sects, phantoms were rarely seen. The surface appeared peaceful, yet an unspeakable and enormous danger seemed to lurk beneath!
All sorts of strange thoughts flashed 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 sheets, densely covered in writing.
Jiang Tu reached out to touch them, only for the pages to transform into a brilliant stream of light and burrow into his body.
Sss!
The farming knowledge he had already known so well was reorganized, becoming clearer and more thorough.
Things he had once known only in form but not in reason suddenly became crystal clear!
Better still, he had also grasped knowledge he had never known before: ancient crops that had long vanished, lost composting methods, how to rotate different crops across the land to preserve soil fertility, and more. All of it was extremely practical.
As he digested the new knowledge, his right hand suddenly sank.
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 mottled with rust. It looked utterly shabby...
Just this broken hoe?
"Luo Jin's Hoe"
"Description: This is the hoe I used for three years. It has no fine iron and no good wood, but it accompanied me as I opened my first field and planted my first crop. I sharpened its blade myself! It is not a good hoe, but it is my brother."
"Effect: When used, it moderately increases farming efficiency and moderately increases physical stamina."
Jiang Tu stared at the description for quite a while.
"Hmm... it even has additional effects?"
He tried making a hoeing motion. The blade sliced into the soil with exceptional smoothness! It was actually easier to handle than any hoe he had used before!
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 a little heartsore.
A twelve-year-old slave boy, in those chaotic times where human lives were as cheap as grass, had hidden and fled everywhere, spread enlightenment and cultivated land, cautiously concealed his abilities, and forcibly kindled 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 getting a supernatural item, the first thing he fucking thought of was doing more farmwork?
Damn it!
He truly had 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 upper limit 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, Causality Value 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 Causality Value: 0"
(Note: Causality Value can only be obtained through sequence feedback in the local world. Causality Value has many uses, including strengthening professional grades, praying for blessings, bestowing grace, and more.)
Jiang Tu's eyes lit up.
Sure enough, evolution was not complete once it had been loaded. As more sequence cultivators were born in the world and more changes arose, he could still enjoy their karmic feedback.
Its uses were boundless!
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 Time: Less Than One Year" (+)
"Sequence Points: 65"
"Causality Value: 0"
"Dao Foundation: None"
(Note: Sequence Points can only be obtained after evolution settlement. They can be used to increase lifespan, raise cultivation, increase the accumulation speed of evolution time, and more.)
Jiang Tu began calculating inwardly.
There was no rush to increase his lifespan. The Golden Tome showed that he could live to sixty-eight, and he was still very young.
His cultivation and the accumulation speed of evolution time were what he needed most urgently!
The twenty-two years and seven months of evolution time he had previously possessed clearly corresponded to his current age of twenty-two, accumulating at a one-to-one ratio with real-world time. It was absolutely necessary to accelerate it. Otherwise, he could only wait sluggishly for time to accumulate, and evolution would be far too unsatisfying.
"Invest points!"
Whoosh!
"30 Sequence Points consumed. Evolution time accumulation speed has increased—"
"From now on, every year of real time will grant an additional two months of evolution time."
Jiang Tu did a quick calculation in his head.
Fourteen months of evolution time per year... Though the increase was not huge, it would endure. Drops of water could wear through stone; grains of sand could 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 an instant.
The farming he had accumulated day after day for three years, along with the newly gained knowledge inheritance from the evolution logs, all merged together perfectly at this moment—
Boom!
As though enlightenment had been poured over his head, a warm current surged forth invisibly, rushing and spreading through his limbs and bones. His entire body, inside and out, became pleasantly warm.
Immediately afterward.
A tingling, itchy sensation spread throughout his body. His muscles swelled, his skin rippled, as if he were undergoing a unique transformation.
His physique experienced a slight strengthening and sublimation. His body grew sturdier, and the lines of his flesh and muscles became smoother.
Even the lifespan displayed in the Golden Tome changed—
"Lifespan: 22/70"
Though it had only increased by a short two years, this was merely the beginning of the great path of cultivation!
As his cultivation rose step by step in the future... his physique, lifespan, and even his ability to transcend the mundane would all become immeasurable!
Boom!
Right afterward!
The world before his eyes seemed to undergo subtle changes as well. The earth appeared to breathe and exhale, gaining currents of breath and warmth. He could even vaguely sense earthworms turning, roots stretching, and moisture seeping through the soil a foot beneath his feet.
The wheat fields in the distance also seemed newly born, stretching their waists and swaying with the undulations.
Even the celestial signs of the four seasons seemed different!
He could sense the humidity changing, the wind flowing, and the clouds piling up. It was not some profound and mystical communion between heaven and man, but rather like an old farmer observing the sky—he could naturally understand the changing signs of the weather.
This was Newly Entering the Dao Path, transcending the mundane!
This was Ninth Grade · "Farmer"!
Good! Excellent!!
More than three years of hard work... had not been in vain after all!
Jiang Tu gripped the hoe and casually dug into the ground.
Sss!
The hoe blade cut deeply into the earth, more than half a foot deeper than usual, and without the slightest effort!
He froze, then tried again.
Sss—shhk!
As the strength in his body continued to surge, this time it was even easier than before. With a single swing, a broad patch of soil flipped up.
"This... the improvement brought by a Ninth Grade Farmer truly is 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 dilapidated house at the end of the village, unable to stop himself from humming a tune~
Next, all he needed to do was lie low and develop: farm and cultivate, earn money and build up his affairs, then wait for the first batch of Agricultural Dao Sequence cultivators to be born in the world, wait for Causality Value to come in, and wait for time to pass and accumulate until he could begin the next evolution.
And so he waited. Time flowed like water, the years flew like a shuttle, and five years hurriedly passed...
In places beyond his sight, a brand-new Agricultural Dao Sequence was quietly being born!
