The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Beyond heaven and earth, above the dome, the two Ancestral Masters stood like giants, the chessboard a small cosmos; they gazed down at the terrifying presence within, surveying everything on the chessboard.

Their confrontation created a wondrous sight.

This scene, due to the transparency of the dome, revealed the awe-inspiring figures of the two Ancestral Masters blocking out the sky and the sun.

"If this scene had appeared at an ancient time."

"Then, what realm would these two Ancestral Masters belong to?"

Thoughts flowed through his mind.

Just then, Qin Jin felt a gentle power envelop him, altering his surroundings and advancing him by one square.

With this step forward, the surrounding environment changed; beneath was a seething, ready-to-erupt volcano, and heat waves swirled around him as Qin Jin hovered in midair.

Opposite him, there were similarly robed figures, likely disciples of the Cyan Wood Temple, entering this place.

Simultaneously.

As both entered, above the sky, the two Ancestral Masters took action simultaneously.

Ancestor White Eyebrow used his finger as a pen, writing in the void; the characters were Celestial Cyan Characters, specifically the character [Control]. After its completion, the Control character entered this volcanic area, hanging over the disciples of the temple.

On the side of the chessboard where Qin Jin stood, belonged to the Axe-Carrying Ancestral Master. He did not act, only opening his mouth to lightly order: "Control!"

The voice pierced the dome, echoing through the chessboard universe like thunder, and above Qin Jin, the [Control] character also appeared, albeit sharper than that on the other side.

The Control character took shape.

Without actively perceiving it, Qin Jin heard a rough voice by his ear, seemingly from the Axe-Carrying Ancestral Master. This voice elucidated truths, like flowers blooming from words, a single [Control] character encapsulating much.

This was imparting teachings.

Convey basic principles of the [Way].

In his cultivation of the Celestial Cyan Technique, upon hearing the character, Qin Jin’s understanding deepened with insights from another dimension.

Throughout his cultivation, he had acquired a top-tier Immortal Dynasty True Scripture, a remarkable start, yet compared to Martial Arts, he lacked a true mentor to consolidate his understanding of the Technique from an experiential and foundational level.

Even Celestial Pride finds it difficult to achieve perfection; this served as secondary reinforcement.

A high tower rises from the ground, and to grow into a true tower, the base must be solid beyond doubt.

Now he had been given that chance.

Opposite him, that temple disciple also entered a state of realization, while other disciples on the chessboard, though not encompassed by the character, seemed to gain insight from it.

In the midst of Qin Jin’s insight, an understanding arose in his heart.

This Ancestor Yi offers a learning opportunity for the [pieces].

For the two [Ancestral Masters], it’s an [exchange of wisdom]!

Time passed.

In an instant, the Control character dissipated, and simultaneously, the volcano below erupted, scorching lava tumbled into the air, splitting into two streams directed at Qin Jin and the temple disciple.

The temple disciple remained serene, unmoving like a mountain, as Spiritual Power surged forth, forming layered barriers; within them, the Control character flickered in and out, blocking the lava.

Simultaneously, the lava, like a fiery dragon, swept towards Qin Jin.

Qin Jin’s gaze lowered slightly; Spiritual Power burst forth quickly, and at the moment of contact with the lava, his power engaged, using domineering techniques to control the flow, reversing the lava back into the volcano.

This, too, was a type of [Control].

On the chessboard, cheers from the temple disciples erupted.

Both sides shifted constantly until a certain stage seemed to fulfill the conditions, causing the volcano below to recede.

Simultaneously.

Other discussions of doctrine between Ancestral Masters surfaced over different pieces, enabling learning, realization, and mastery across the chessboard.

As time passed.

At a particular moment, the dome above the chessboard suddenly shattered, everything dispersed, and the figures of the Ancestral Masters vanished together, wandering the heavens outside.

Inside the chessboard, all returned to normal, transforming into an ordinary engraved chessboard, and exchanges among the temple’s disciples ensued.

Qin Jin gently closed his eyes.

Not far from him.

Su Changqing approached, speaking, "Benefactor Qin, how was it?"

"I gained much."

Qin Jin opened his eyes, answering sincerely whether the person before him was real or illusory.

This felt like a class that deepened his understanding of the Celestial Cyan Technique. Comparing it would be akin to the ultimate mastery of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, though this time the focus was on the Cultivator Technique.

"There are two more rounds of Ancestor Yi."

Su Changqing raised his hand, a small token engraved with the character [Cyan] appeared, offering it to Qin Jin.

"Benefactor Qin, your performance qualifies you for the next two rounds. When Ancestor Yi is opened, this Cyan Wood Decree will signal."

"You must attend."

"If all three performances are outstanding, you might even garner the Ancestral Master’s attention and receive a gift."

After speaking.

Su Changqing fell silent, and at this moment, Qin Jin sensed gentle power rising around him, a flash of his silhouette whisking him from the Ancient Land to beyond the Divine Light.

Qin Jin attempted to approach the Divine Light, but found this time his Wish Power and Spiritual Power cultivated by the Celestial Cyan Technique couldn’t enter again.

This might be...

[Not yet open]

"The wonders concealed in the Ancient Land far exceed my imagination, truly harboring multitudes, each unique."
