The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

At the same time.

The golden Treasure Armor that was formed last time reappeared, as if it were worn all around Qin Jin. This time, the golden mist emerging from the Spirit Platform gathered above Qin Jin’s head, intertwining to form a Jade Crown, which seemed to perch above Qin Jin’s head.

This combination could hardly be called beautiful, and even seemed somewhat strange. However, once the Jade Crown took shape, both the Treasure Armor and the Jade Crown vanished, leaving no trace.

"This Treasure Armor and Jade Crown are likely more than mere appearances."

"They should indeed offer me protection in some way."

Everything settled into calm.

But the transformation continued.

While sensing his progress, Qin Jin spiritually connected with the Spirit Platform, and with a slight movement of thought, proactively asked.

"Why?"

He was eager to know the reason for this celestial calling and the bestowed gifts.

According to the information that emerged when the [Heaven-Reaching Platform] was formed and entered his heart, he knew that communication with the heavens was not always possible. But given this unique [channel], Qin Jin wanted to give it a try.

His inquiries continued, yet it was like a stone sinking into the sea, leaving the Heaven-Reaching Platform stable within the Spirit Ruins, as if falling silent.

Until...

As the transformation neared its end, a scene suddenly flashed above the Heaven-Reaching Platform, disappearing almost immediately. But Qin Jin, in the process of transformation and constantly focused on the Heaven-Reaching Platform, sharply captured that scene.

Everything in the scene was blurry and unclear, as if obscured by restrictions, or perhaps covered by the heavens.

Only the figure at the center of the scene was slightly clearer, vaguely discernible.

That figure, Qin Jin was extremely familiar with, even though it was also in a blurry state, Qin Jin recognized it at a glance.

It was...

Your Excellency the Observer’s avatar!

The Observing Word Avatar!

Waves surged in his heart as Qin Jin realized.

"This time’s gifts were actually because of Your Excellency the Observer?!"

"What has his avatar been doing in that true world during this time?"

Thoughts raced through Qin Jin’s mind. As his strength continuously grew, rarely did his emotions fluctuate so intensely. "Could it be that Your Excellency the Observer’s avatar also made a [transaction] with the heavens?"

"The Divine Spirits in the Star Sea, each with different abilities, are extremely mysterious."

"Now, the Divine Spirits in the Star Sea have truly come to this world, exchanging with the heavens, allowing the heavens to fill in certain aspects and extend further changes. Because of my connection with Your Excellency the Observer, or perhaps because I am Your Excellency the Observer’s [guide], I received this celestial gift."

This was the most reasonable explanation Qin Jin could think of in a short time.

"Or perhaps, something else happened."

"But no matter what, Your Excellency the Observer must have stirred something significant in the true world, and I might be an indirect beneficiary, reaping tremendous rewards. But as for Your Excellency the Observer..."

"I wonder if his avatar has connected with his true self."

Thoughts flickered.

His transformation neared its end.

Qin Jin calmed his mind. Above, visions of the Immortal Dynasty alternated. At some moment, like shedding a feathered garment, the cocoon shrouding Qin Jin dispersed, his aura returned to calm, yet inside, like a sea with hidden waves, he suddenly opened his eyes.

As his eyes opened, a booming sound arose on the heavens in front of him.

Qin Jin raised his arms, positioned before him, his palms opening and closing into fists, sensing the surging power within him, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Hmm..."

"If now the Miracle Corridor opens again, facing the Gatekeeper [Martial], I would win much more easily."

With a subtle shift of mind, the profession panel appeared.

[Martial Arts Family: Grandmaster Realm]

[Origin Index: 41437]

[Number of Transformations: 5]

[Extra Transformation: 1]

Powerful.

An unimaginably powerful force.

The celestial gift made Qin Jin’s transformation incredibly perfect this time, bringing unparalleled results.

Moreover.

As the profession panel displayed, Qin Jin clearly saw that the value in the Origin Index section continued to fluctuate.

This indicated that he was getting stronger every moment.

"When soldiers come, I will block them; when water approaches, I will cover it with earth. I will gradually gain the strength to face everything head-on."

The panel vanished as Qin Jin looked around, confirming his direction, then strode across the heavens, heading towards [Dragon Gate Peak].

"According to the initial plan, extract the Extraordinary Factor to contribute to the new mecha’s creation."

"After returning to the planet, I will then ask Your Excellency the Observer if the connection with his avatar has deepened."

Having made his decision, Qin Jin’s steps did not stop.

Along the way, above him, visions of the Immortal Dynasty grew more abundant, truly emitting sounds from within, dreamlike and illusory, as if reality and history touched at this place.

Upon reaching an extremely vast Divine Cauldron Fragment below, Qin Jin sensed something and looked up.

Here, scenes of the Immortal Dynasty were also revealed, but they were extremely unique.

At a glance, within the scenes of the Immortal Dynasty, there was its own firmament. At both ends of the firmament were two figures of immense stature, both humanoid with extraordinary bearing. One of them had fiery red hair and beard, resembling burning flames, clad in red with flame patterns above, looking extremely dazzling. But when eyes focused above, the heart didn’t feel noisy, only tranquil, as if a power was soothing the soul.

The other was a woman in a blue silk dress, seemingly not of the Human Race, because Qin Jin clearly saw two dragon horns on her head, though she took human form, she retained traces of her original self.

The two vast figures, high above the firmament, emitted no sound and had not engaged in combat. It seemed they were in [discourse].

"Ancient heroes."
