The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 223: Chapter 125: Thunder Star’s First Peculiarity (Part 2)

In the east of the Spirit Ruins, the spiritual power of a region was completely cleared. Under Qin Jin’s comprehension and control, spiritual power of different attributes underwent various changes, surged into this place, and began to shape the Thunder Marsh.

His progress was very rapid.

Although it was an extraordinary magic technique, Qin Jin had laid an incredibly solid foundation in the early stages of this cultivation path, and now has two types of comprehension enhancement methods. The inheritance he obtained was also imbued with Ji Lianxing’s related insights.

In the cultivation chamber, silence reigned as Qin Jin fully immersed himself in cultivation.

…

The starship jumped, traversed the Star Gate, and sailed through the journey.

After going through another jump, the surroundings changed. Just as the jump ended and they arrived at this star domain, a patrol fleet approached and verified their identity.

After verification, they were cleared to proceed, and the starship headed toward Qin Jin’s hometown, Thunder Star.

Inside the starship, Qin Jin had already stopped cultivating.

He stood by the porthole, gazing out.

Outside Thunder Star, the space port was already completed, but the distant Star Gate and Planet Fortress were still under construction.

The grand architectural endeavors within the Star Sea were not tasks that could be completed overnight.

“How does it feel, returning to your hometown after cultivating at the academy for the first time?”

Behind him, Gu Huang’s voice sounded.

“Somewhat nostalgic.”

Qin Jin’s voice responded.

“I’ve reviewed the academy’s mission records.”

Gu Huang calmly said, “Thunder Star is still in its initial promotion phase and has become one of the target locations for this mission. I noticed that a few S-Class students from your cohort are here carrying out the map drawing task.”

“Want to meet them?”

“Other students?”

Qin Jin looked at her, “Master Gu, who are they?”

“Xie Wuya, Bai Huaiyu.”

“Those two, here to draw the map of my hometown?”

Qin Jin’s eyebrows slightly raised.

Compared to his mission and the status of an S-Class student, a task like map drawing seemed exceedingly simple.

“Yes.”

Gu Huang nodded, “The new batch of students executing their first mission, the academy’s task assignments are often quite targeted.”

“Xie Wuya.”

Gu Huang read out the name, “I have reviewed his profile; he is an extremely combative student.”

“However, the growth of the Martial Arts Family requires at times to be still rather than just active.”

“The academy’s arrangement to place him here is likely for this reason.”

“As for Bai Huaiyu.”

Gu Huang pondered, “There is little information available about this student and the mission department’s considerations are unknown.”

An image of Bai Huaiyu flashed through Qin Jin’s mind.

He shook his head, “We meet every day back at the academy. Today, it’s not worth wasting time.”

“Master Gu…”

“Has the starship confirmed the landing site?”

Gu Huang looked at him.

As his personal instructor, Gu Huang knew of his status as the Chosen One.

At this time, Qin Jin had nothing to hide and candidly said, “Let’s land near the Star God Forbidden Area.”

“Since I’m back home, I should also pay a visit to Lord Star God.”

“Alright.”

As they communicated, the starship approached Thunder Star, heading towards the forbidden area.

…

Near the Star God Forbidden Area, it was an undeveloped region, a truly pristine nature.

As the starship approached and was about to land, an external communication was received, requiring identity verification.

This time, the verification was conducted personally by Qin Jin. After his identity was confirmed, docking permission was granted.

The starship landed, returning to his hometown, Qin Jin walked ahead, directly jumping from the gangway to the ground.

After some time away, the surrounding environment had changed significantly, yet Qin Jin still felt a sense of familiarity.

His gaze turned towards the distant forbidden area.

At a glance, a thin mist shrouded the forbidden area, obscuring the interior conditions.

“That’s one of the changes happening in your hometown.”

Gu Huang’s voice came from behind, “Moreover, there’s that unknown script in the sky.”

She pointed skyward, continuing, “This isn’t the first time the Federation has assisted in the elevation of Gaia Planet. In the past, as the unique traits of Gaia Planet fully materialize, revealing their effects, the Federation has communicated with the Star God and further understood, seeking to maximize these peculiar effects.”

“In the past, when you first arrived at Zhi Xia Star, the Aurora of the Apocalypse you experienced was like that.”

“Its effects were similarly amplified by the academy.”

As a true Celestial Being and a person of Celestial Pride, Gu Huang evidently possessed vast knowledge, and she continued, “The unknown script in the sky hasn’t fully formed yet.”

“Once it fully forms, the Federation will proactively contact you, the Chosen One.”

“However…”

Gu Huang paused slightly, “I once had contact with a powerful individual with a similar identity to yours.”

“I believe that, even if the planetary anomaly hasn’t fully formed, it may still be of assistance to you.”

“Therefore, I brought you back to your hometown first.”

“If it’s of no use, consider it a short break after completing an academy task, before diving back into cultivation.”

Alongside.

Gu Huang’s voice continuously entered his ears.

Qin Jin gazed upward, looking at the script on the sky.

The script appeared illusory, suspended in the sky, visible from any corner of the planet by simply looking up.

To the Federation, this was a peculiar aspect that emerged from the planet’s promotion, akin to divine spirit’s secret words, and deciphering its intent before it fully forms was extremely difficult.

Therefore, the Federation awaited its full formation before engaging with the Star God.

However…

For Qin Jin, it was exceptionally simple.

In the past, with the Star God’s blessing, he acquired the ability to gaze directly at divine spirits and had seen the true form of a Star God.

The formation of Gaia Planet’s anomalies was, without a doubt, highly related to the Star God.

Now.

Under Qin Jin’s scrutiny, he instantaneously comprehended the meaning of the script in the sky.

It was an incomplete character “sheng” (life).

Just as the Federation surmised, it was not yet complete.

At the moment Qin Jin’s mind deciphered the text’s meaning,

The incomplete “sheng” character in the sky vanished without any vision, as if it imprinted on his heart. In that instant, within Qin Jin’s perception, the character disintegrated, transforming into light and integrating into every part of his physique.

His aura remained unchanged, no enhancement in strength, yet his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Beside him.

Gu Huang, who had been observing him closely, noticed this change and her expression turned serious.

She had conducted a comprehensive understanding of Qin Jin.

The student she accepted may be young, but he had experienced true major events, and ordinary matters couldn’t possibly stir his emotions, embodying the demeanor of a Grand General.

“What’s the matter?”

Gu Huang’s inquiry sounded.

“Master Gu.”

Qin Jin looked at her and, after a brief silence, solemnly said, “I cannot tell you right now.”

Upon hearing this.

Gu Huang wasn’t angry; instead, her expression became even more serious, nodding, “As long as you know what you’ve discovered, it’s fine.”

“When I was your age, I too had many secrets I couldn’t speak of to others.”

Her gaze swept to the distant Federation Warriors stationed at the forbidden area, “Even though they’re monitoring here, they can’t break through my domain and won’t detect your anomaly.”

“Qin Jin.”

“Just remember, if there is truly something significant, you have enough power supporting you.”

“Hmm.”

Qin Jin nodded earnestly.

“Master Gu, I need to visit Lord Star God.”

“Please wait outside.”

“Alright.”

Gu Huang nodded, watching Qin Jin step into the mist-shrouded forbidden area.

She looked up, squinting slightly.

Qin Jin’s willingness to speak truthfully, without lying or hiding anything, left a good impression on her.

A true Celestial Being’s Celestial Pride, after cultivating to such a level, couldn’t possibly be naive. Both Qin Jin and she were clear that Qin Jin must have discovered something in the planetary anomaly, leading to his rare loss of composure.

“Thunder Star.”

Gu Huang retracted her gaze, contemplating, “It seems the first anomaly born of Thunder Star is quite special.”

“A Gaia Planet just beginning its ascension was already enough to attract attention.”

“Besides the Federation’s allocations, the migration of meritorious people, and the contention for other settlement slots was bound to provoke confrontation after confrontation.”

“Now, it seems…”

“This place might become even livelier.”

…

At the entrance of the forbidden area, Qin Jin stepped in.

As he entered, with his steps forward, the thin mist parted to both sides, revealing a path, akin to a winding path leading to a secluded place, while the rear was again shrouded by the thin mist.

Qin Jin’s expression was very solemn, thought flashing in his eyes.

Just now, the character “sheng” reflected on his heart, merging into his physique.

His realm, his strength, hadn’t undergone any change, as it seemed like an ephemeral vision witnessed only by himself.

However…

He clearly sensed improvements in other aspects.

That was…

His lifespan had increased!
