The Life of the Mohist Patriarch

This story does not include the cultivation realms found in Xuanhuan or immortal cultivation novels. Instead, it features a system of skill levels based on “mechanical arts” and “character,” which can be compared to the following: Nine Craftsman Realms: Material Recognition -> Deconstruction -> Skillful Hands -> Craftsman’s Heart -> Fine Control -> Spirit Attunement (giving mechanisms simple feedback) -> Creation (innovative design) -> Grandmaster (founding a school of one’s own) -> Master Craftsman (integrating all knowledge and approaching the Dao through skill). The protagonist’s growth is mainly reflected in the improvement of his mechanical skills, the expansion of their applications, and his deeper understanding of the relationship between “technology and society.”
