The Way of Survival in Cultivation: My Talent Grows a Little Every Year

[A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality] [Playing It Safe] [Slow Start] [Unmatched Talent in the Later Stages] The river of time flows on without end. Countless peerless prodigies of astonishing talent have risen in this world, leaving behind epic legends of grandeur. Yet when they look back in their twilight years, they find that a silent figure has forever buried them beneath the dust of time. … Lin Yuan transmigrates and becomes a menial disciple of the Qingyun Sect. He seeks immortality and the path to the Dao, but his poor aptitude leaves him struggling at the very bottom. Just as he is losing heart and nearly resigning himself to his fate, his golden finger quietly awakens within him. From then on, his talent increases by one point every year. Whenever his talent passes five or a multiple of five, he also gains a special talent: When his talisman skill passes ten, he awakens [Steady as a Rock]: his spiritual energy output is exceptionally stable when drawing talismans, greatly increasing his chances of success. When his combat skill passes twenty-five, he awakens [Battle Instinct]: he gains battle intuition that seems almost prophetic, sees through every move, and is nearly unbeatable against opponents of the same level. When his fire spirit root passes thirty, he awakens [Seven-Orifice Fire Lotus]: he controls fire spiritual energy as naturally as his own limbs, manifests lotus seals, and burns all things to ash. When his spiritual sense passes fifty, he awakens [Illuminating the Hidden]: his spiritual sense shines like a candle in the darkness, revealing flaws in formations and the slightest shifts in people's hearts, and even glimpses of karmic traces. … A thousand years pass in the blink of an eye, and the cultivation world quietly gains a peerless prodigy who seems ordinary but is, in truth, capable of anything. Without ever meeting Lin Yuan, cultivators may still compete on the road to immortality. But once they meet Lin Yuan, they finally understand that they themselves are as insignificant as mayflies
