The Path to Immortality Through Caution: I Became the Dao Ancestor of All Arts by Grinding Relentlessly

[Farming and Cultivation, Immortality, Cunning Protagonist, No Saintly Do-Gooder, Decisive and Ruthless]

In the thriving cultivation world, countless cultivators press forward, risking everything for the faint hope of immortality.

But Mu Yu is an anomaly: he was born with an immortality buff and an endless lifespan.

Perhaps immortality comes with its share of drawbacks. Though he has decent natural talent, cultivating is incredibly difficult for him.

After more than a thousand years of cultivation, he has reached only the second Qi Refining stage.

Fortunately, an extremely straightforward System awakens.

“Grind hard and you’ll grow stronger!”

No fancy rewards, no shortcuts to defy fate, just one ironclad rule: grind! Grind until you drop!

Immortality plus endless grinding: now that was a winning combination.

And so the most bizarre sight in the cultivation world appeared:

While peerless prodigies fought bloody battles for treasure in secret realms, he swung his sword in his cave abode. After a hundred years, he had somehow cultivated a basic sword art until it gave birth to sword intent;

While grandmasters of alchemy fought tooth and nail over ancient recipes, he quietly secluded himself for a thousand years and somehow refined fasting pills into immortal elixirs;

While formation masters deciphered ancient ruins, he had already spent tens of thousands of years stacking the most basic defensive formations into an unrivaled immortal formation...

The years passed, and the world changed beyond recognition.

His once-arrogant enemies turned to dry bones, once-glorious sects crumbled to dust, and one era after another rose and fell. Yet he remained as low-key as ever, steady as a rock.

By now, though, he seemed to have acquired a new title.

“Dao Ancestor of Ten Thousand Laws!”

P.S. The protagonist grows in a very different way from ordinary cultivators. This is a lighthearted, easygoing story, so just enjoy the fun.
