Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Inside the room.

Jiang Tu climbed up from underground, closed the hidden door, moved the farm tool rack used for concealment to the front to block it, and then quickly sat down on the edge of the bed, sinking into the depths of his consciousness.

"Agricultural Road Sequence"

Serial Number: 01

Current evolutionary progress: Rank 8 - "Tian Jun"

Total number of cultivators in this sequence: 109

"This sequence's influence level: lv0.9 (Initially gaining recognition within Dajiang County)"

"Harvested Causal Value: 605"

Over the past five years, the number of cultivators practicing agriculture has unknowingly exceeded one hundred. With the blessing of "good quality" and "favorable weather", this increase is actually much faster than Jiang Tu initially expected.

He quickly flipped through the numerous events listed earlier...

"Event triggered"

"(New) Zhao Tiezhu, a farmer in Dajiang County, awakens his innate wisdom and becomes a ninth-rank 'farmer' (cause and effect value +2)."

"(New) Farmer Liu Gen from Dajiang County successfully planted one high-quality wheat seedling (Cause and Effect Value +15)"

"(New) Sun Xiaoniang, a farmer in Dajiang County, has successfully cultivated a high-quality medicinal herb (Cause and Effect Value +10)"

"(New) Twenty-one 'farmers' including Zhang Laoshi, Li Mancang, and Wang Shitou have been selected as outer disciples by the Taoist sect (Karma Value +105)"

"(New) Ninth-Rank 'Farmer' Chen Dayong Dies Suddenly (Causality Value +10)"

"Died again?"

Jiang Tu's gaze lingered on the latest sudden death, his brows furrowing.

Over the past five years, a total of 37 ninth-rank "farmers" have been selected to join the Taoist sect as outer disciples. As of tonight, including the initial batch of Chen Cun, 35 of them have died within the Taoist sect, without exception.

Those who slipped through the net and were not selected to join the Daoist sect are living well, farming and harvesting, working from sunrise to sunset. Among them, one even broke through to the eighth rank "Tian Jun" in the fields, becoming the only eighth rank person born in the native world.

Jiang Tu remembered that the man was named Sun Fu. He had never left the farmland in his entire life. On the day of his breakthrough, he demonstrated the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique that allows one to escape from the earth). As a result, less than three days after the news spread, Taoists came to his door to take him as a disciple, and even selected him as the first farmer inner disciple!

He was filled with glory, the whole county celebrated with gongs and drums and held a grand banquet, and then, nothing happened. This is the 36th installment.

Lingjiang Temple angrily proclaimed its achievement of 36 kills in 5 years, only to be met with tragic news.

Jiang Tu remained silent for a moment, guessing that the last two people were about to die... This couldn't possibly be a coincidence!

Without a doubt, Chen Cun's death was not an accident, not an isolated case, but an inevitability!

There's a big problem with Taoism!

With so many lives on the line, the evidence is irrefutable! Being chosen by the Taoist sect was never a blessing from heaven, but rather like lambs being led to the slaughter!

He made many guesses about this.

Is the Daoist sect secretly exploiting its agricultural cultivators? Has the Daoist sect been infiltrated by strange forces, with "outer disciples" actually being sent there as nourishment? Or is the Daoist sect using these farmers, who have awakened their innate wisdom, for some kind of shady...experiment?

Every guess was chilling, and every guess was possible, but he had too little information.

For five years, he never stopped trying to find out about the Taoist sect from the streets, but there was only one opinion from the outside world—the Taoist sect is upright and righteous, and it should be respected and loved by the people for protecting the people and suppressing monsters.

When the villagers mention Lingjiang Temple, they are filled with awe and gratitude.

"Those Taoist priests are incredibly powerful! With a wave of their hand, their Taoist magic is boundless, turning monsters to ashes on the spot!"

"If it weren't for the Taoist sect, this place would be full of monsters like everywhere else!"

No one ever doubted it.

The stark contrast between reality and the rumors filled Jiang Tu with increasing fear. He felt that something big was about to happen, but he couldn't say what it was or when it would happen.

He even considered more than once whether he should leave Xiaopei County and the jurisdiction of Lingjiang Temple as soon as possible, and go to a place where the Taoist sect could not control him.

But he quickly rejected the idea.

If things are like this in Lingjiang, the outside world will only be more chaotic. At least the Taoist sects in Jiangzhou still have a fig leaf and haven't indiscriminately killed ordinary people. Who knows what the situation would be like elsewhere?

In chaotic times, the most important thing is to find a place to establish a foothold, survive, and quietly develop.

I was just thinking about it.

Jin Ce's movements became violent again—

Jiang Tu suddenly sat up straight, and the total number of cultivators in the sequence suddenly began to plummet!

109.

105!

98!

87!

The numbers were plummeting, dropping significantly every short while. Jiang Tu's pupils constricted, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

63!

51!

42!

New events are emerging in a frenzy, one after another, densely packed, and simply won't stop—

"(New) Ninth-rank 'Farmer' Zhao Tiezhu was suddenly attacked and died (Causality Value +5)"

"(New) Ninth-rank 'Farmer' Liu Gen was suddenly attacked and died (Causality Value +5)"

"(New) Ninth-rank 'Farmer' Sun Xiaoniang was suddenly attacked and died (Causality Value +5)"

"(New) Ninth-rank 'Farmer' Chen Tang was suddenly attacked and died (Causality Value +5)"

"(New) Ninth-rank 'Farmer' Wang Xing was suddenly attacked and died (Causality Value +5)"

Every line represents a vibrant life!

Among them were skilled farmers, experts in herbal medicine, some who had just gotten married, and some whose children were still infants… yet the list of events was a glaringly red mess… What the hell is this list? It’s a death list!

Gudong.

Jiang Tu's throat went dry. He subconsciously swallowed, opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't utter a word.

Ten years of accumulation! The sequence route of 109 people has reached its end in a short moment! On the verge of collapse!

What happened?

What the hell is going on?!

The most painful thing is that he doesn't know what happened. He can only see a series of cold numbers and lines of blood-red death records through Jin Ce, but he can't see the truth.

He could only think of two possibilities that could have caused such a dramatic change.

First, the Taoist sect could not stand idly by while the agricultural Taoist cultivators developed, so they simply launched a major purge.

Second, uncanny disasters.

The second possibility seems unreasonable. Dajiang County is located in the heart of Lingjiang and is one of the core areas that the Taoist sect has been operating in for many years. The surrounding monsters have been cleaned up relatively well, and the occasional ones that slip through the net cannot cause a big problem. Logically speaking, it is impossible for a large number of monsters to suddenly appear, let alone for a monster disaster to sweep through the county.

So no matter what, this whole thing is strange from beginning to end, and no matter how you speculate, it is bound to be related to Taoism!

Jiang Tu took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Now was not the time to panic. The total number of cultivators had already plummeted to less than 30, and the influence that had been approaching level 1 was now almost zero!

If it falls any further, the agricultural road sequence may disappear from the land. We cannot sit idly by!

"A great harvest!"

Swah——

Causality value: 775

With 775 points of causal value, Jiang Tu had accumulated all his wealth over the past five years plus tonight's market crash. He scanned the options and locked on without hesitation.

"Blessing: 100 Causality Points for the first time"

The blessing can be applied to all cultivators in the current order, and it is currently the most effective and only means of emergency relief!

"add!"

Swah——

"Consuming 100 Karma Points, completing the first bestowal of grace."

"You have successfully bestowed the gift—the torch."

"Gift: The Flame"

Quality: White (Standard)

"Validity period: 100 years"

(Note: Once the expiration period has ended, you can directly spend the corresponding causal value to reactivate it without having to bestow the blessing again.)

"Note: You have successfully bestowed the 'Flame of Passion' blessing upon all Sequence cultivators in the local world, including yourself. The effects of Sequence cultivation in master-disciple inheritance, father-son inheritance, and kinship inheritance are doubled. The flame of passage continues, and the Sequence never ends."

Jiang Tu was stunned. A gift... actually has a time limit?

A hundred years is not a short period, and you can reactivate it by spending causal points after the expiration without having to refresh it again. However, blessings are permanent and can affect both evolution and reality simultaneously.

Comparing the two, Grace is indeed somewhat lacking.

However, the effect is very direct. The "Inheritance" blessing is equivalent to a large accelerator for the [Inheritance Method]. The effect of passing on the teachings between masters and disciples, fathers and sons is doubled. In time, it should be able to help agricultural cultivators in the real world to comprehend the complete [Inheritance Method] more quickly and accelerate the expansion of the sequence.

But now, given the situation...

Jiang Tu smiled bitterly. The people are almost all dead, what's the point of continuing a trade? It's a waste of time!

"Keep adding!"

Swah——

"Consuming 300 Karma Points to complete the second bestowal of grace."

"You have successfully bestowed a rare blessing—life without end."

"Gift: Life Never Ends"

"Quality: Purple (Rare)"

"Validity period: 100 years"

"Explanation: You have successfully bestowed the blessing of 'Endless Life' upon the native world. Like wildfire that cannot be extinguished, it will spring back to life with the spring breeze. As long as the sequence inheritance is not completely severed, every low point in the sequence's development will accumulate strength for a comeback, bringing about a stronger rise and rebound. The way of the sequence is endless life."

Jiang Tu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was astonished.

Holy crap! Purple! Rare!

Did Jin Ce also realize the urgency of the situation and the imminent collapse of the sequence, and finally leave him a sliver of hope?

Wildfires cannot destroy them; the spring breeze brings them back to life! Every trough means a stronger rebound and comeback!

This gift of "continuous life" is full of hope and the future!

Boom boom boom!

Jiang Tu's heart pounded like a drum, filled with extreme excitement. But after the excitement subsided, his rationality quickly returned. He noticed that the instructions mentioned "as long as the sequence inheritance is not completely severed."

The premise is that it cannot be cut off.

If all cultivators in the agricultural path die out in reality, can new ones be born? Will the profession sequence be reloaded? How long will the cooldown period be?

Jiang Tu didn't know the answers to these questions; he only knew that he had done the best he could.

The two blessings consumed 400 karma points, and the next blessing would require 500 points. He no longer had enough karma points.

Now he can only pin his hopes on the continued existence of agriculture and the last breath he has left.

Jiang Tu leaned against the bed and closed his eyes for a long time.

Outside the window, the night wind howled past, and the winter chill seeped into the bone.

"Please don't let it really break..."
