The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

”Only in this way could it be preserved to this day.”

Qin Jin exhaled deeply, pondering, ”Everything within the Cyan Wood Temple is so lifelike. In ancient times, were there Celestial Pride individuals who participated in this Ancestor Yi’s chess game?”

”This isn’t like Dragon Gate Peak, it’s hard to verify.”

His thoughts surged in his mind. Since the exploration was complete, he immediately journeyed back to the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

On the way back, Qin Jin’s mind was filled with deeper thoughts: ”Cyan Wood Temple is different from Dragon Gate Peak, it involves [humans]. Therefore, aside from the extraordinary nature of this Ancient Land itself, there must have been powerful beings who arranged many aspects to create the current state.”

”There’s also another possibility.”

”This Ancient Land was artificially created before the task of mending the heavens, sealed by the Immortal Dynasty with the Divine Cauldron.”

The journey back was without incident.

After returning to the Sacrificial Spirit Hall, Qin Jin’s thoughts moved, and he left the Great Wilderness.

...

Star God Forbidden Area.

In the instant of return, a familiar sense of attention surrounded him.

Thunder Proclaimer Observer.

Before Qin Jin could speak, Your Excellency the Observer’s voice sounded first.

”Qin Jin.”

”Calculating by your Starfire Federation’s time, you have been gone for seven days and nights.”

Qin Jin paused slightly.

Then, he suddenly realized: ”Was it that Ancestor Yi’s chess game? That chessboard?”

Cultivation does not recognize the passage of time. In the Cyan Wood Temple, his perception was suppressed; entering that chessboard world, perhaps due to some level of influence, made him completely disregard the existence of time during his enlightenment.

”Though not as exaggerated as the Rotten Axe chessboard, it also bears some resemblance.”

”This time, at Your Excellency the Observer’s place, it won’t cause any disturbance, but this feeling needs to become familiar.”

”After all...”

”Whether it’s Martial Arts or Celestial Cyan Technique, they can extend lifespan. When truly entering the High Realm, a single cultivation session may last indefinitely; this is a change that must be adapted to.”

Thoughts flashed across his mind.

Qin Jin raised his hand, spreading his palm. In his palm, traces of light remained.

This was left behind by the [Observer] avatar before heading to the portal.

The light points surged, merging into the divine body.

Under Qin Jin’s gaze, Thunder Proclaimer Observer’s divine body suddenly expanded, its interior becoming vast, Celestial Cyan Technique evolving. From Dao Foundation beginning till Divine Power, in its evolution, at the core of this forbidden area, Qin Jin truly sensed the Great Wilderness’s unique [Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power].

”Qin Jin.”

”I have learned everything.”

Your Excellency the Observer’s voice was gentle: ”I want to refine and perfect this cultivation system’s path. During this time, stay in your homeland; I will occasionally communicate with you.”

”Hmm.”

Qin Jin responded.

Under his watch, Thunder Proclaimer Observer’s divine body returned to Alternate Space; the entire [Thunder Pool] calmed down once more.

”Your Excellency the Observer truly comprehended the Great Wilderness.”

”However, what seems to interest Him most is still the Celestial Cyan Technique.”

”If He can achieve something on the Celestial Cyan Technique, He might make progress unique among other Star Gods.”

Remembering the time changes mentioned by Your Excellency the Observer, Qin Jin extracted his terminal, started it, and messages appeared.

He replied one by one.

The real elite knew he followed the Star God back home, so although [disconnected] for several days, it didn’t cause any chaos.

After browsing through each message, Qin Jin’s attention focused on two of them.

One of them came from the Weiyang Star System’s Pioneer Corps.

The content was quite official, generally stating that to [commemorate] Qin Jin’s performance in the cleanup mission, and to compensate for their own mistakes that led to an accident, they found Qin Jin’s personal mecha broke due to this matter. A related team had already set off, preparing to come to Thunder Star to assist Qin Jin in upgrading and optimizing his mecha.

Elder Su once said, the Pioneer Corps would handle everything.

Now, this matter undoubtedly marks the beginning of everything.

And another message was from a department Qin Jin had not previously contacted.

[Ancient Civilization Exploration Action Department]

The other party contacted through the academy, sending a request. To quickly complete the analysis of that Civilization Space, they conducted relevant inquiries with all personnel who entered that space to gather information.

Qin Jin was also on their list, hoping he could participate in a communication for inquiry.

Qin Jin had no reason to refuse.

He had developed a certain sense of belonging towards the Federation; being able to quickly discern everything about that Civilization Graveyard would undoubtedly benefit the Federation. After browsing the messages, Qin Jin summoned Candle Kite, establishing a special communication channel with her help, and soon... the communication connected.

In the frame, a male figure emerged.

He was in a uniform, and upon seeing Qin Jin through the communication screen, he solemnly said, ”Student Qin Jin, I am Lei Xianglong, responsible for overseeing the Ancient Civilization Exploration Action Department.”

”Nice to meet you for the first time.”
