The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator - Chapter 318 - 155: Second Grotto Heaven (Part 2)

“The academy mission of the Martial Abyss indeed contains dangers, but the preparations are equally thorough, and very few truly perish during the academy missions.”

“Exploring the ancient civilization’s relics is different from others; everything is unknown, and perhaps it was with this consideration that they refused us.”

“But in the past, the Martial Abyss has collaborated with us in this regard.”

The woman quickly said.

“That’s the second reason.”

Lin Xishi shook his head and said solemnly, “Don’t forget who we are here for.”

“We discovered promising talents during the hidden selection of the Limit-Breaking Cup, which is why we came to the Martial Abyss.”

“But now it seems…”

“In the eyes of the upper echelons of the Martial Abyss, the champion of the Limit-Breaking Cup, Qin Jin, and a few other genius students are more important than the treasure vault within the ancient civilization. They are probably unwilling to let them take this risk, so they refused.”

…

Great Wilderness.

Qin Jin sat cross-legged inside the cockpit of the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd.

As the end of the term approached, the academy’s courses became much looser, giving Qin Jin more time to come to the Great Wilderness for cultivation.

To this day.

Within the Spirit Ruins, the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven stood tall. Compared to when it first formed, the grotto heaven had expanded, surrounded by clouds and mist. The words ’Enlightenment Grotto Heaven’ glowed brightly, appearing truly like an Immortal Realm.

Qin Jin devoted himself entirely to cultivation, the secret collection emerged behind him, and the Lingxu Fire God and Thunder Marsh both assumed an auxiliary stance to assist in cultivation and stabilize the grotto heaven.

At a certain moment.

The name of the grotto heaven shone brilliantly, and a sense of perfection surged within his heart.

Enlightenment Grotto Heaven is perfected!

All cultivation within the Spirit Ruins is unlike any other; after the formation of the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven, the Spirit Ruins continuously consolidates it. Even during academy lectures, cultivation within the Spirit Ruins has never stopped. This grotto heaven can be called extraordinary, and now… the First Grotto Heaven is finally perfected.

Exhaling a long breath, Qin Jin felt a sense of fulfillment rising within himself.

Both the Celestial Cyan Technique and Martial Arts have reached the breakthrough threshold.

“Just before witnessing the secret mentioned by Candle Kite, complete the breakthrough.”

A thought flashed through his mind, Qin Jin opened his eyes, and with a flick of his mind, two items were taken out, suspended before him under the shroud of Primordial Power.

The Seed of the End, Origin Star Core.

These were the treasures he had listed among the Pocket World Divine Objects.

With a deep breath, Qin Jin looked towards the Lingxu Fire God.

Three choices.

Thoughts flashed in his mind.

“The Fire God is destined to be one of the Pocket World Divine Objects, but it can be arranged later.”

“Since the Fire God resides in the Spirit Ruins, it can provide me with a blessing. Moreover, according to the information in the Free Fire Observation Secret Scroll, continuously nurturing this Lingxu Fire God will make shaping the grotto heaven increasingly smoother. The stronger the Fire God, the faster the growth of that grotto heaven in the future will be.”

“Given the other choices, it can be continually nurtured for later use.”

“Two choices remain.”

Qin Jin’s gaze shifted to the objects before him.

He was no longer new to shaping a grotto heaven, and with some understanding, he made a conjecture in his mind.

“Opening a grotto heaven with an Origin Star Core should be somewhat easier.”

“In comparison, opening a grotto heaven with the Seed of the End might harbor some dangers.”

The breakthrough to the Pocket World Realm is not smooth sailing; the Pocket World Divine Object may contain latent powers that, once erupted, must be completely subdued before proceeding to the next step.

“Subduing and refining the Seed of the End might cause its dormant power to erupt, bearing danger.”

“However, this is also an opportunity.”

“Balancing against the power hidden within a divine object when opening a grotto heaven is a refinement for both the Spirit Ruins and oneself. Often, grotto heavens created by such divine objects give birth to stronger treasure skills.”

“Moreover, the Seed of the End is a visualization object. If successful, the combination of the Celestial Cyan Technique and Martial Arts within me can reach further.”

“It’s decided.”

Qin Jin made his decision in his heart.

He was never one to hesitate; with a thought, the Origin Star Core was put away, and his internal power wrapped around the Seed of the End, disappearing into the Spirit Ruins after a flash of light.

Qin Jin took steady breaths, and during the process, Wish Power was activated. Dense clouds of Wish Power swirled around him, surrounding the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd, extremely abundant.

The Sacrificial Fire Tribe continued to develop and grow, but Qin Jin himself was also improving continually, relying more on his methods, with minimal consumption of Wish Power, accumulating it as one of his deepest reserves.

Now, surrounded by Wish Power, any unexpected event would immediately trigger healing.

After making all preparations, Qin Jin closed his eyes.

His heart spirit did not delve into the Spirit Ruins; instead, with a slight movement of intent, the Primordial Power surging from his physique trembled at this moment!

With the trembling of Primordial Power, it spontaneously flowed out of his physique, layer upon layer, covering Qin Jin’s surroundings and forming a cocoon—an external protection during his own transformation.

The cocoon formed.

His third transformation officially began at this moment.

Innate transformation is self-initiated and doesn’t require control. For this reason, Qin Jin conceived the idea of breaking through both realms simultaneously. As the sense of transformation came, Qin Jin’s mind grew even clearer, directly immersing himself within the Spirit Ruins.

Within the Spirit Ruins, spiritual power surged like waves.

In the middle of the high sky, the Seed of the End hovered silently, remaining motionless.

The power within it was dormant yet stable, which is why it could be used as a reward in the Star Ascending Arena.

If it were overly active, Martial Artists in the Innate Realm might encounter accidents while visualizing it.

As thoughts flashed by.

In the sky of the Spirit Ruins, spiritual power gathered in the void, transforming into chains. One end connected to the Spirit Ruins, while the other swept towards the Seed of the End.
