The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

This is a large base, located somewhere unknown. At a glance, countless workstations are recording various aspects in real-time, with all sorts of data listed on the screens.

At this moment.

In a large workstation where the report sound was heard, images flickered on the light screen. Besides observing the first-time participants from the Federation’s geniuses in the Miracle Corridor, it also monitored the entire Miracle Corridor, recorded, and made adjustments in real-time.

Behind the reporting personnel.

About a dozen figures stood, watching the images on the light screen.

Among them were elderly people dressed in research attire and extraordinary beings with remarkable presence. Now, as the report sound faded, the leading man at the front spoke, ”Who is it?”

His voice was quite magnetic, drawing attention.

”Wuyuan Academy, Qin Jin.”

The staff’s response sounded: ”He is the top genius from Wuyuan Academy this year, winning the Star Dome Limit-Breaking Cup championship, and at the Star Ascending Arena, received our invitation letter, and gained the opportunity to first experience the Miracle Corridor.”

”Qin Jin?”

The leading man nodded slightly, as if he had heard the name before but showed no change in expression as he said, ”A genius from Martial Abyss achieving this step is quite normal.”

He turned to look beside him and said, ”Dr. Cheng, the Miracle Corridor is about to officially start operating. The Miracle Corridor is modeled after that special place. From the current results, compared to that special place, to what extent are we?”

”Currently, at about 40%.”

The old man called Dr. Cheng beside him responded, ”We will continue tweaking and optimizing. By the time it officially opens, it should reach over 60%.”

”To advance further, we need a big breakthrough, or deepen our understanding of that place. Achieving this step based on the information we’ve gathered is already the limit.”

”After all...”

”That place is the true legacy land of a top civilization, now jointly maintained by multiple civilizations.”

”I understand.”

The man nodded, glancing over everyone in the workstation: ”Everyone, keep working hard. Let’s strive to make the Miracle Corridor a true Civilization Corridor one day.”

After leaving these words, he turned and walked away.

...

Miracle Corridor.

Fourth-level region, with purple floating light spheres around, varying in size and shade.

As Qin Jin stepped into this area, a purple light sphere streaked across the distance and appeared before Qin Jin. Upon arrival, its brightness quickly diminished, revealing what was inside.

Inside was a star-shaped object, about thumb-sized, like a pendant. As the light drew back, Qin Jin clearly sensed a mental refinement intent arising from himself.

Raising his palm, the pendant fell into his hand.

Related information transmitted from the mental layer, flooding his heart.

[God-Encompassing Star Pendant]

This is a treasure that aids Martial Arts Family members in mental refinement, can be kept for a long time, enhances growth while conducting mental refinement, and also has a protective effect with multiple functions, capable of assisting cultivation.

”Is this the reward for entering this area after defeating the Gatekeeper?”

”It seems the Gatekeeper is also a form of assessment, though I wonder if every passerby receives the same reward.”

Qin Jin briefly thought, then stored it away, looking deeper inwards, his body moved forward.

Shortly after starting.

Sensing something, Qin Jin turned back, looking behind.

Nothing visible to the eye.

But in his sensations, he detected a brief fluctuation from far behind, indicating others may have reached this area too.

”The progression is not slow.”

Being among the first batch of participants, they are definitely not ordinary people. The Gatekeeping method of the fourth region is certain to block ordinary geniuses but certainly won’t stop such top figures.

He accelerated, the surrounding purple light spheres swirling beautifully.

After moving a certain distance.

At the end of his line of sight, a dazzling brilliance arose.

At a glance, a distinct barrier intercepts ahead, beyond which lie extraordinarily brilliant golden light spheres, eye-catching, sparking thoughts of extraordinary rewards within just by sight.

The interplay of golden light spheres evokes anticipation.

Qin Jin lowered his gaze to the barrier ahead.

There, stood a figure with arms crossed, eyes slightly closed, seemingly resting.

His appearance seemed young, like a participant of the Miracle Corridor, yet with Qin Jin’s remarkable memory, he could confirm none among the seventeen entrants were him, and... no one could have arrived here before him.

Thus, the other’s identity was unmistakable.

The Gatekeeper of the Fifth Region!

A thought flashed by.

Qin Jin slowed down, stepping on the starry river, advancing a few steps before that young figure abruptly opened his eyes, looking at him.

”Faster than I expected.”

The other’s voice sounded.

Qin Jin looked at the other calmly and asked, ”How do I address you?”

”Are you a remnant left here by some predecessor?”

”You may call me [Martial].”

The other smiled, revealing white teeth: ”I am not exactly a remnant.”

He shook his head slightly: ”I am the Gatekeeper established by the Federation’s mighty ones with research experts, relying on the Miracle Corridor.”
