The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

”Qin Jin, would you like to experience this?”

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin slightly raised his eyebrows and replied, ”Of course.”

As the response resonated, Dr. Chen seemed prepared in advance. He summoned up a light screen and began operating it. As his fingers tapped away, Qin Jin clearly sensed a mental connection approaching silently.

This connection was somewhat similar to when he previously entered the Candle Spirit’s Dreamscape, yet it was entirely different.

Qin Jin lowered his Spirit Barrier, attempting to connect with it.

In the next instant.

Everything in his vision changed. At first, there was darkness before him, which then brightened in a few breaths. Within the entire space, points, lines, and planes continuously intertwined and reorganized, somewhat resembling the view in a [visualization]. These points, lines, and planes rapidly formed into a [Small World].

Or rather, a small dreamscape.

As the dreamscape took shape, Qin Jin felt it. He looked down at himself, as though scanned into existence, gradually forming a physical body in this world. Beside him, Dr. Zhao, Dr. Chen, and Zhong Yi also solidified into entities, appearing here.

In the completely blank world, four figures appeared.

Qin Jin, sensing all of this, spoke, ”Have we entered the Dream World through the mental layer?”

When he first encountered the Candle Spirit, the dreamscape it created felt as though it truly existed and possessed physical substance.

”You could see it that way.”

Zhao Wanqing’s voice rang out.

”The initial research direction of my team was precisely the networked world of mental communication. In fact, this is a direction many people are researching.”

She continued eloquently, ”The Star Sea is vast and boundless. Two people truly located in different Star Systems, or even on different planets, might never meet in their lifetime, even in today’s age of convenient travel. Various communication networks have addressed this issue, allowing people to communicate in real-time.”

”All along, numerous teams within the Federation have conducted deeper research based on this point.”

”For the Martial Arts Family, honing the spirit, the mental layer is the tangible power each of them can perceive. So... can a brand-new specialized communication network be constructed through the mental layer, allowing the Federation’s Martial Arts Family to enter it anytime, to communicate, compete, and validate themselves?”

Her expression calm, she continued, ”Martial Arts began among the people and have gradually become an extremely important evolutionary path in the Federation during the age of great expansion. Yet as oranges grown south of the Huai River are better than those grown north, there are many systems within Martial Arts. Different environments and atmospheres greatly influence each person’s Martial Arts style.”

”If such a communication platform could truly emerge, allowing Martial Arts Family from various Star Systems to communicate within, it would significantly promote the development of Martial Arts within the Federation.”

”Furthermore, if we take it a step further and enable evolvers from other pathways in the Federation to connect as well, it would become a grand event for our Starfire Federation, worthy of being etched into Federation history.”

Qin Jin listened attentively.

Zhao Wanqing continued, ”In the past, there were many related platforms emerging, but ultimately, they failed due to various reasons. Three reasons were particularly critical.”

”First, the cultivation of Martial Arts is not solely spiritual.”

”Once entering the mental layer, one cannot accurately reproduce their true progression in Martial Arts, causing some discrepancies between the mind and the self.”

”Second, everything is too illusory, and attempting to realize the real through the fake might lead Martial Arts down the wrong path.”

”Third, if it’s only low-realm Martial Artists, that’s fine, but once a large number of high-realm Martial Artists move in, the immensely powerful Spiritual Power would naturally break through the entire [Spiritual Network], making it unsustainable.”

”The Federation possesses special items with enough capacity, but such items usually originate from the Cosmic Divine Spirit. For Martial Arts, the core evolutionary pathway of the Federation, these related solutions are impossible.”

”Thus, it’s been slow to progress.”

”These three reasons have been troubling us.”

Upon hearing this,

Qin Jin seemed thoughtful, ”So, you combined this mysterious dreamscape creation ability with the spirit?”

”Exactly.”

Dr. Chen spoke at this moment, nodding slightly, ”The spirit is limited, but the dreamscape is boundless. Within the dreamscape, humanity can achieve everything they wish to do.”

”Qin Jin, you personally experienced the dreamscape ability of the [Candle Spirit]. You should have some understanding of its authenticity.”

Qin Jin nodded in acknowledgment.

Dr. Chen gestured with his hand, and in the empty world, a light screen appeared, displaying the slumbering [Candle Spirit] within.

”Currently, with our advancements, the first two issues have been preliminarily solved.”

”As for the third point.”

”As a phenomenon life born from the Star Sea, it has a high enough upper limit, and replicating and analyzing it is preparation for the future.”

At this point, Dr. Chen looked at Qin Jin, ”Qin Jin, I have already granted you access.”

”You may personally experience it.”

”In this dreamscape world, let yourself be no longer limited to the [spirit], but truly enter this world.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.

He pondered for a moment, and with a slight mental shift, his body in the dreamscape space fluctuated.

And for Qin Jin, it was as though he had passed through a door, personally entering within.

When he first encountered the Candle Spirit’s dreamscape, it felt somewhat similar to now.

”Wait a moment.”

Sensing the surging power within, perceiving the surrounding situation, Qin Jin’s eyes focused, looking at the other three, ”The spirit is just a catalyst.”
