Grayback

"Battling young masters for some treasures in mysterious caves? No, thank you.

What's so special about a ring containing an old sage's trapped soul? I'll just toss it away.

Becoming a direct disciple of some big expert with many enemies? Count me out.

I'll flip the bird to the pointless struggle in prestigious sects that only attract calamity.

What I have here, this opportunity I've seized, is plenty for me.

I'll choose safe and steady methods of progress, even if they're slow. After all, I'm just a simple farmer seeking peace through cultivation. I'll rely on myself to pave the way."

- Aksai Everwood (Chapter 7)

============

Meet Aksai Everwood, a guy who thought he was done with life, but life had other plans.

Aksai wasn't always Aksai. He used to be Arman Arlott, a terminally ill dude who decided to take one last wild ride before checking out. Little did he know, a crazy experiment would flip his world upside down. Arman's mind got tangled up with artificial intelligence, and things got seriously weird.

Instead of peacefully bowing out, Arman ended up sacrificing himself for some mind-blowing breakthrough. But instead of eternal rest, he got a second chance as Aksai Everwood, a spirit farmer in a new world. Talk about a cosmic curveball!

You'd think being a farmer in a serene, pastoral paradise would be easy, right? Nope. Aksai's new world is anything but peaceful. Farming is far from sunshine and rainbows here.

Aksai dreams of a chill life cultivating his crops, but in the wild world of immortal cultivation, peace is a rare commodity.

Luckily, Aksai's got some serious advantages. He's got a neural link fabric that makes him a whiz at alchemy and array formations, giving him a leg up on other Spirit cultivators. Plus, he has the Enchanted Everwood Farm, a magical place where he can grow all sorts of mysterious cultivation resources with awesome bonuses. This farm comes with perks that make Aksai a one-of-a-kind Spirit farmer.

And here's the kicker: the farm is suspended in a spatial junction of all existing realities. That means Aksai can hop between different worlds as he levels up in his Spirit cultivation.

With these unique advantages, Aksai ditches the traditional path of joining a sect or a renowned clan. Instead, he explores various worlds, using their unique resources and methods to forge his own path as a Spirit cultivator.

What do myriad worlds unlock? A druid bloodline, body cultivation, martial arts, and lots more. Who’d join sects when given such perks?

The stage is set for our Spirit farmer. Now Aksai, his companions, and you, his readers, are in for a journey of rebirth, redemption, and a whole lot of dirt under your fingernails.

A Farmer's Journey To Immortality

Aksai recalled this quote from the Everwood book, a memory that brought a smile to his lips as he addressed the martial artists before him with curiosity.

"Thank you for broadening my horizons, masters. It seems there's more to the martial arts than I thought. How can we gain access to these formless martial arts?" he inquired.

The martial artists exchanged glances before Master Wen Wei from the School of Rising Sun stepped forward to respond in his typically stern and authoritative manner.

"Young man, what we practice here is undoubtedly top-notch martial arts for this city. However, when compared to the elite martial arts of Sharang, they pale in comparison.

They say that there are no better martial arts, only better martial artists. But for many mediocre martial artists, that statement can't be entirely true.
