The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

The Treasure Armor Jade Crown appeared as an illusion, guarding the body, and almost instantly, that blood color stagnated. Then, on the armor, a golden light emerged, rushing forward to collide with the blood color!

It seemed like purification, like dissolution, the blood color first dulled, then quickly disappeared.

In Qin Jin’s perception.

Because of the blood color’s diffusion, the sorrowful aura emitted here gradually transformed as it faded, turning from sorrow to emptiness, as if relieved.

The instant the blood power was completely cleared.

The Treasure Armor Jade Crown around Qin Jin’s body vanished without a trace.

The surrounding teleportation ripples stabilized and then disappeared.

Qin Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, a thought arose, Divine Intent vanished, and Thunder Prison lifted.

A look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.

”That blood power, perhaps it can be described using curse, resentment power?”

”The entire corridor represents the rise and fall of a civilization. When the corridor collapses and civilization ends, does its last power erupt? Extremely mysterious.”

He looked down at himself.

The Treasure Armor Jade Crown was completely gone.

”My guess was correct.”

”This treasure Armor Jade Crown granted by heaven and earth is indeed not just a mere image but involves protection in certain aspects. Unexpectedly, it didn’t trigger in the Great Wilderness but was first activated in the Star Sea.”

Under the recent impact, the last segment of this civilization corridor, a hundred-meter dilapidated corridor, had completely collapsed, falling into the void below, disappearing.

At this moment, sensing something, Qin Jin turned to look back at the path he came. The first two phases of the corridor also began to collapse and disintegrate, breaking and then collapsing downwards.

All is void.

As the last part of the corridor fell into the void and vanished, the entire test space became utterly empty. Qin Jin glanced around, finally focusing below.

That was the final collapse position of the corridor.

As he looked, darkness spread; shortly, silver light emerged, twinkling like stars.

Under Qin Jin’s gaze, the silver light ascended, revealing its true form, ultimately hovering before him.

It was a piece of silvery, almost transparent fabric, with starlight flowing inside.

”Is this the final reward of this opportunity test?”

Speaking to himself in thought, Qin Jin raised his hand to catch it, feeling warmth as it unfolded, half-human in length, with starlight flowing on the surface. Upon touch, information flowed into Qin Jin’s mind.

[Star Gauze Robe]

[Evolvable Star Sea Wonders]

[A special secret treasure that grows by devouring civilization traces, it will manifest different abilities when consuming different civilization traces]

[Current Civilization Trace: Day Star Civilization]

[Current Ability: Day Star Domain]

Information flowed through his mind; as he truly held it in his hand, Heaven-Reaching Platform within Spirit Ruins stirred, similar to the initial time.

”Is the stirring of Heaven-Reaching Platform caused by it?”

”Civilization trace.”

Qin Jin mentally repeated this term he heard for the first time: ”When I return, I’ll ask Candle Kite for related information.”

He stirred his heart, his Primordial Power surged into the robe, and under Qin Jin’s gaze, the fabric became completely transparent, its inner starlight fading. It floated up, directly integrating into Qin Jin’s Domain, disappearing.

His spirit could sense its presence, hidden within the Domain, producing a noticeable amplification effect.

”Star Sea Wonders.”

”The Celestial Spine Divine Soldiers left by the Martial God senior at Mi Tian Dao Field were initially Star Sea Wonders.”

”It is a collective term for special treasures above a certain level in the Star Sea.”

With thoughts flowing, Qin Jin did not attempt further; behind him, an [exit] formed. He stepped in, thus leaving the test space.

Soon after his departure.

In the utterly empty space that would no longer recover, amidst intertwined brilliance, a figure appeared.

It was a woman, dressed in a long robe; if Qin Jin were here, he could recognize her at a glance. She was the one suspected of being [artificial intelligence] who received them during the Miracle Corridor test.

At this moment, she stood in the void, her feet bare, looking around, as a voice sounded, making some kind of record.

[Level 6 Region #35 Test Zone, thoroughly shut down]

[Related Star Sea Wonders have been extracted]

...

Leaving the exit, Qin Jin stepped into the Fourth-level Region, where the associated opportunity light clusters had vanished.

He spent considerable time in this civilization corridor; during this period, the number of participants in the Fourth-level Region had increased significantly.

Sweeping his gaze, Qin Jin activated his speed, rushing swiftly through this artificial Star Sea.

In the Fourth-level Region, there may still exist other opportunity spheres connected to higher regions, yet without any guidance, searching for them is like finding a needle in a haystack. If the Heaven-Reaching Platform hadn’t stirred, he wouldn’t have stopped here.

Advancing at full speed, Qin Jin avoided one opportunity sphere after another, heading deeper in.

Time passed.

After continuous advancement, he had approached the checkpoint at the edge of the Fourth-level Region. Now, as he looked up ahead and saw everything clearly, his gaze slightly froze.

During the beta test, the gatekeeper here was Martial, a special gatekeeper established by the Federation’s strength, with the cooperation of research experts, inside the Miracle Corridor.

At that time, the entire checkpoint was guarded by him alone, standing as the sole gatekeeper.

Defeating him would allow entry into the Fifth-level Region, whether by single combat or group battle.

Now that the Miracle Corridor is formally open, all the previous region checkpoints have changed, and so has this place, yet the gatekeeper remained unchanged!

At a glance, at the very center of the checkpoint, was a giant humanoid statue.

Examining its face, it was indeed Martial.

In the whole checkpoint area, platforms made of starlight had appeared, and on the platforms, battles were taking place as many people were being tested for access to the Fifth-level Region, battling Martial.

Qin Jin’s eyes focused on the giant statue in the center, raising an eyebrow: ”The rules to pass have changed, does it require defeating Martial alone, or is it that...”

While pondering, his stride did not halt, stepping into the checkpoint area.

In an instant of entering, starlight gathered beneath his feet, constructing and transforming, and in a split second, a broad platform took shape, surrounded by a light curtain, isolated from the outside.

Qin Jin stood atop the arena.

Opposite him, as ripples flickered, a figure gradually emerged. Before it fully appeared, a familiar voice had already spoken.

”Here comes another young challenger.”

”I hope you can bring me some fun.”

”Defeat me, and you can enter the Fifth-level Region.”

As these words were spoken, the figure emerged.

It was indeed Martial.

Qin Jin waited calmly, looking toward the other side of the arena.

In the next moment, their gazes met, and under Qin Jin’s gaze, Martial’s eyes widened slightly, raising a finger towards him: ”It’s you!”

”It’s me.”

Qin Jin raised an eyebrow, answering.

Clearly, the Martial guarding here had retained his memory.

A ripple appeared on his face, Martial’s expression changed: ”I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

After saying this, as if recalling something, he lightly coughed: ”You are already eligible to enter the Fifth-level Region.”

”Hmm?”

Martial’s expression was candid: ”The rules here have changed a bit, but the martial prowess you demonstrated in the last battle is more than enough to pass.”

”By rights, you can go directly.”

”But...”

”But what?”

Seeing his hesitation, Qin Jin spoke directly.

”As a gatekeeper, I agree with you directly entering the Fifth-level Region.”

”But from the perspective of the Martial Arts Family, I hope to battle you once more!”

Martial’s expression was serious: ”To be honest, over this period, I’ve improved quite a bit. Last time, you said I was ’not bad’. Now I want to see if this evaluation can go a step further.”

”So...”

Qin Jin pondered, looking at the Martial on the arena, then shifted his gaze, looking back with purpose: ”The one who wants to duel me, isn’t the you on the arena now, is it?”

Martial paused for a moment.

Soon after, he nodded: ”You are not easily deceived. Will you accept the challenge?”

”Of course.”

Qin Jin nodded.

On this path of the Martial Saint Road, cultivation and battle are destined to go hand in hand. The Martial before him is already a worthy opponent.

”Good!”

Martial clenched his fist, his figure rippling, and suddenly disappeared from the arena.

Moments later.

The sudden occurrence attracted the attention of all participants inside and outside of the checkpoint.

At the center of the checkpoint, the giant statue of the gatekeeper at this moment began to tremble, with the stone skin covering the statue starting to fall off!
