Synopsis

15 years of failure. 3 months until exile. 1 million buckets of water... and the System finally awakens. Aurelian Chu transmigrated to a ruthless world of immortal cultivators with one massive problem: a Defective Spirit Root. Stuck as a lowly menial servant in the Cloudspire Sect, he's spent fifteen grueling years watering medicinal herbs just to survive. At thirty, he faces mandatory expulsion. His cultivation path is officially dead. Or so he thought. When Aurelian hauls his one-millionth bucket of water, he unlocks the Heavenly Dao of Diligence System . No overpowered legendary artifacts. No sudden cheat bloodlines. Just a simple, unbreakable rule: Consistent effort guarantees measurable progress. Every bucket carried increases his Constitution. Every herb chopped boosts his Spirit. Every beginner manual read levels up his Fire Control. Transferred to the prestigious but deadly Alchemy Hall as a pawn in a bitter sect rivalry, Aurelian is surrounded by arrogant prodigies and ruthless masters who see him as stepping stone. But they don't know his secret. While they spend decades meditating for a sliver of enlightenment, Aurelian is quietly grinding his stats, leveling his skills, and preparing to break every rule of cultivation. He might have started at the absolute bottom, but with enough hard work, even the heavens will have to make way.
