189: Chapter 189 The Golden Legend! Heaven Rewards Diligence!

[Gold! It's really gold!]

[Tang Xun's mind went blank, and his heart felt as if it were about to leap out of his chest.]

[This was the first time he had ever drawn a Gold Legend-tier trait in a simulation!]

[That golden light was so dazzling, so noble, as if it contained some profound truth of heaven and earth.]

[A line of large golden characters, exuding the aura of the Great Dao, slowly took shape before his eyes.]

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Gold Legend trait—Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence!]

[Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence?]

[Tang Xun was stunned for a moment. Just hearing the name, it felt a bit plain and unadorned, not as ethereal as "Free and Easy Wandering."]

[But he knew that no Gold trait was ever simple.]

[He hurriedly and impatiently checked the specific functions of the trait.]

[trait: Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence (Gold · Legend)]

[Function: All your efforts will be quantified. Whether it is cultivating a Cultivation Technique or studying a skill, it will be converted into specific 'Experience Points.' You will no longer have Bottlenecks; as long as you have enough Experience Points, you can directly increase your Rank.]

[Note: You just focus on the effort; leave the rest to talent.]

[Silence.]

[The entire Cultivation Room was deathly silent.]

[Tang Xun stared blankly at the description on the panel, once, twice, three times...]

[His breathing went from rapid to gradually becoming heavy.]

[His eyes opened wider and wider, and bloodshot veins began to creep in.]

["Holy shit..."]

[An extremely suppressed exclamation, as if squeezed from the depths of his throat, broke the silence.]

[The next second, Tang Xun suddenly jumped three feet off the ground!]

["Hahahahaha!"]

["Holy fuck! Holy fuck! Holy fuck!"]

[Like a madman, he hopped and skipped around the Cultivation Room, roaring incoherently.]

[All the dignity of a Grand Elder and the composure of a Nascent Soul Cultivator were thrown to the back of his mind at this moment.]

[Right now, he was just like an ordinary person who had won fifty million in the lottery! No, he was ten thousand times more excited than that!]

[An experience point System! No Bottlenecks! Leveling up just by working hard!]

[Isn't this the ultimate cheat tailored specifically for a 'Grind-god' like him?!]

[This is the high-end version of "Effort Will Be Rewarded."]

[What is the most feared thing in immortal cultivation?]

[Bottlenecks! Barriers!]

[How many exceptionally talented Cultivators have been stuck at the Bottleneck of a certain Realm, unable to advance an inch for their entire lives, eventually turning into a handful of yellow soil.]

[From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, from Core Formation to Nascent Soul, every Breakthrough into a major Realm is a life-and-death trial, requiring Opportunity, Comprehension Ability, Medicinal Pills, and even luck.]

[But now, with "Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence," all of this will cease to exist for him!]

[Bottleneck? What's that? Can you eat it?]

[To him, the so-called Realms are nothing more than a string of numbers on an experience bar!]

[As long as he keeps cultivating, as long as he keeps "grinding," he can become infinitely stronger!]

[Immortal Ascension will no longer be a vague and ethereal dream, but a goal that can definitely be achieved as long as enough time is spent!]

["This is the true Golden Finger!"]

[Tang Xun was so excited that his whole body was trembling.]

[If the "Life Simulator" gave him the capital for trial and error and rapid accumulation, then "Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence" gave him a smooth path leading directly to the Great Dao!]

[The combination of the two is simply invincible!]

[He forced himself to calm down, his heart still thumping wildly.]

["System, unequip 'Effort Will Be Rewarded (Green)' and equip 'Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence (Gold)'!"]

[He made the decision without any hesitation.]

[Although "Effort Will Be Rewarded" was decent, compared to "Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence," it was like the difference between a tractor and an interstellar battleship; there was no comparison at all.]

[trait replacement successful!]

[Detected that the Host has equipped the Gold trait 'Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence.' The System panel is undergoing a digital upgrade...]

[Upgrade complete!]

[As the System notification chime faded, the Attribute Panel before Tang Xun's eyes underwent an earth-shaking transformation.]

[It was no longer the vague descriptions from before, but had turned into a detailed data interface similar to a game character.]

[Tang Xun looked at the brand-new panel and took a deep breath. He knew that his era had only just begun.]

[He felt as if his entire body was filled with inexhaustible strength.]

[In the past, cultivating was like fumbling through a dark forest blindfolded, not knowing where the path was or where the pitfalls were.]

[Now, a Great Dao paved with stone slabs, lit by streetlights, and even marked with signs appeared directly before his eyes!]

[He only needed to follow this path and keep walking!]

["Grind! I'm going to fucking grind my heart out today!"]

[A raging fire burned in Tang Xun's eyes.]
