The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator-Chapter 177 - 108: Fire of Life

[Environment simulation countdown: 3...2...1]

The notification echoed in the room.

At the instant the countdown ended.

Changes occurred in the empty room in a moment.

A howling wind arose, stirring up sand and dust, and the surrounding temperature suddenly soared.

Under Qin Jin’s gaze, the ground instantly turned into black-brown quicksand. As he stepped onto it, he felt a sensation of sinking, his body falling downward. Meanwhile, not far away, amidst the swirling wind and pervasive sand, a scene resembling a natural disaster was created.

"Level 5, produces this effect."

"If Level 21 is initiated, or directly chooses the Death Planet..."

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and in this harsh extreme environment, the Breathing Technique operated, and he began his cultivation.

The Primordial Power circulated, under the pressure naturally created, and around Qin Jin, there was a constant sound of muffled thunder, as if forging weapons.

"Increasing the severity of the environment."

"Level 8."

Gradually getting familiar with it, Qin Jin increased the level.

In an instant.

His surroundings completely dimmed, as if buried by quicksand, pressure came from his physique, and the temperature within this black-brown quicksand continued to rise.

The Breathing Technique operated, tempering the physique.

Primordial Power surged, constantly adjusting himself.

Martial Arts Family, mastering oneself, conquering nature.

Qin Jin completely immersed himself in cultivation.

...

Qin Jin’s life at the academy became stable.

Wuyuan Academy, located in the central region of the Corridor Star System, situated on Gaia Planet, is one of the core regions of the Federation, where unexpected events are nearly unheard of. Every academy student can fully devote themselves to learning and cultivation during these three years.

Attending classes, cultivating, and visiting the Sacrificial Fire Tribe in the Great Wilderness to observe its development and harvests—this peaceful life was precisely what Qin Jin yearned for.

He had some steadily improving methods, and each advancement was filled with the joy of harvest.

After declining the invitation from the Star-picking Association, several student organizations extended invitations to Qin Jin, but after being courteously declined, no one disturbed Qin Jin anymore.

Constantly learning, the experience related to the profession steadily increased.

As time passed.

Today, nearing evening.

Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

Azure Thunder Profound Halberd stood outside the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Ahead.

A leopard several meters long lay in place, looking obedient, with an eye expression somewhat flattering.

Qi Chuan stood to one side, gazing at the leopard, curiosity emerging in his eyes.

This was precisely the leopard Qin Jin chose to spare after testing the Mountain and River Fragments.

It circled around, and eventually found its way to the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

Qin Jin’s gaze fell on it, seeing the vibrant eyes of the leopard, his eyes slightly lowered.

The fierce beasts within the Great Wilderness mostly acted based on instinct.

But this leopard seemed obviously much smarter, even following all the way here, already possessing its own thinking, no longer acting solely on instinct.

"What is the reason for this?"

Qin Jin’s eyes flowed thoughtfully, pondering for a moment, and his heart moved slightly.

"Could it be..."

The Azure Thunder Profound Halberd lifted its hand, and golden clouds emerged, Wish Power surged.

At the moment the Wish Power appeared.

Qin Jin saw the leopard’s eyes brighten somewhat, its body lowered even further.

"Indeed."

Qin Jin confirmed his suspicion.

The growth of fierce beasts inherently involved absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, and his methods of healing this leopard evidently weren’t enough to enhance its intelligence further.

No abnormalities occurred when it was brought into the Mountain and River Fragments.

Therefore...

There’s only one truth.

To bring external objects into the Mountain and River Fragments also requires enveloping them with Wish Power. Although such actions have almost no cost, the leopard nonetheless came into contact with Wish Power because of it.

Qin Jin’s gaze rested on the golden cloud in his palm.

Everything in the world has its traces.

Wish Power, including the sacrificial methods passed down by the Desolate Tribe, cannot emerge out of thin air.

Encompassing Wish Power, able to bring objects into the Mountain and River Fragments, this already proves, that such extraordinary power holds some relation with the Celestial Cyan Immortal Dynasty.

"Unfortunately, Bai Su has become a Sacrificial Spirit for too short a time, knowing very little information."

"I wonder if among the tribes currently surviving in the Great Wilderness, there are any ancient and elderly Sacrificial Spirits still around."

Thoughts flashing through his mind.

Qin Jin’s gaze fell on Qi Chuan.

"Let it remain in the tribe."

"With its current behavior, it won’t hurt anyone."

"In the future, if the tribe tames fierce beasts, it can be allowed to lead."

Saying this, the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd’s gaze turned to the distance, Qin Jin spoke: "Has Xia Rock Tiger sent any more messages?"

"Recently, it sent via treasure communication."

Qi Chuan pondered for a moment: "Calculating the time, he should be close to returning to the tribe."

"Once he returns, let him meet me immediately."

Qin Jin’s voice echoed.

With the introduction of the communicator, efficiency in the Sacrificial Fire Tribe’s communication drastically improved.

Qin Jin came to the Great Wilderness ahead of time today for a reason—just recently, the tribe received a message from Xia Rock Tiger, detailing an important discovery while on the road back to the tribe.

In the time that has passed, the remains of the Three-headed Exotic Python have been entirely recovered to the tribe, and Xia Rock Tiger also became a member of the exploration team, leading a squad to explore the region outside the tribe and perfect the map of the Great Wilderness.

After giving instructions, Qin Jin returned to the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Wish Power restrictions activated, Qin Jin sat cross-legged in the cockpit, his Heart Spirit plunging into the Spirit Ruins.

Looking around, within the Spirit Ruins, the Spiritual Power evolved into various forms, leaving only a small part of the area still in a mixed Spiritual Power state.

"Once I’ve sorted out this remaining Spiritual Power, the Spirit Ruins Realm will reach the state of Perfection."

"Faster than what I initially expected."

"After all, it’s only the Second Realm, and I still have many augmentation methods."
