After transmigrating to the cultivation world and becoming a lowly mine slave, Lu Ye, a top-tier architect in his previous life, discovered that the world's cultivation system was one enormous scam!
The immortal scriptures monopolized by the prestigious orthodox sects had all been implanted with “fatal backdoors.” Any rogue cultivator who reached Foundation Establishment would become a walking elixir for the ancient ancestors of the great clans.
The basic cultivation techniques circulated throughout the world were all fitted with “pay-to-win locks.” Unless you bought the exorbitantly priced pills monopolized by the great clans, your meridians would inevitably reverse and kill you!
The entire cultivation world was a giant field of leeks, tightly controlled by the immortal sects and great clans!
Then, at the bottom of an abandoned mine shaft ten thousand yards deep, Lu Ye dug up half of a strange severed finger engraved with low-level Dao patterns, activating the [Heavenly Dao Terminal: Open-Source System]!
[Reverse Decompilation]: See through flaws in the great clans' cultivation techniques with a single click, remove possession backdoors, and bypass the pill paywall!
[Great Dao Open-Source Library]: Rebuild the sect-guarding secret arts as the “People's Free Green Edition” and broadcast them to the world's underclass with no entry requirements!
[Computing Power and Wish Power Feedback]: Every low-level rogue cultivator who connects to an open-source technique provides Lu Ye with computing power and a cultivation boost! With a million mine slaves cultivating online at once, Lu Ye breaks through to Earth Immortal in a single breath!
Years later, the high and mighty immortal ancestors were horrified to discover that their vaunted mountain-protecting formation had been smashed to bits by a group of miners armed with iron picks.
Their clan's secret sacred scriptures, never before passed on to outsiders, were now available to everyone at street stalls in the mortal world, and had even been updated to a heavily modified 3.0 edition!
When the Immortal Emperor of the Nine Heavens brought down divine punishment, attempting to format the entire world, Lu Ye stood before billions of low-level cultivators and pressed the Heavenly Dao's Enter key in his hand.
“Sorry, but from today onward, this world's Heavenly Dao will be open-source and shared by all living beings!”
