The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 60: Chapter 58: Abyss of Buried Lives

On his shoulder, he was still carrying someone.

That was the third member of the Crown Team.

After returning here, the tall man set his teammate down, whose figure sprawled out, revealing a ghastly wound on the abdomen, with flesh turned, faintly exposing bone, and breath weak.

“Yunluo Mountain, come heal him.”

The tall man spoke.

The one called Yunluo Mountain was the pale man; hearing the voice, he did not say much, and took out the secret medicine from his backpack, used, applied, sutured, and bandaged, looking quite skilled.

“What about those people?”

In the middle of the healing process, Yunluo Mountain asked.

“Either dead, or they ran away.”

The tall man grinned brilliantly, revealing a mouth full of neat teeth: “They came because of the Dusk Society, have you heard of the Dusk Society?”

“I haven’t heard anyone in the sect talk about it.”

“Don’t forget, we were chosen together, if you don’t know, I certainly don’t know either.”

After the healing was complete, the instant Yunluo Mountain stood up, his legs went weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

Beside him.

The tall man reached out a hand and grabbed his shoulder.

His gaze swept over the nine metal pillars in the distance, then looked at Yunluo Mountain, frowned, and said: “Is it worth it?”

“The Divine Envoy offered me a condition I couldn’t refuse.”

Yunluo Mountain steadied himself, his complexion growing even paler, shaking his head: “Ding Que, unlike your good talent that can win everything on its own.”

“This is the only way I can do it.”

He stepped towards the far end: “There are still three record points to establish.”

“Once everything is set up, you can go do what you want to do.”

Ding Que helped another teammate up, his voice sounding: “Do you know what I want to do?”

“Of course.”

Yunluo Mountain didn’t look back: “According to the Divine Envoy’s arrangement, although we need to go deep into the forbidden zone, we won’t really have to meet that Star God in the end.”

“But among these small squads, the one who can reach the end must be the undoubted celestial pride.”

“With your character, you won’t miss it.”

The voice gradually faded away.

On the high slope behind.

A scarlet light formed a small sun pattern that flickered on and off.

…

After going deep into the forbidden zone, the terrain became more complex.

Vegetation was rare, and there were deep valleys, high slopes, and cliffs everywhere, with no map guidance, if it weren’t for the strong physique of the Martial Arts Family, just traveling would take an unknown amount of time.

Again climbing over a cliff, after advancing about a hundred meters, Qin Jin and the three stopped.

Looking ahead, the path was broken, forming a cliff, about ten meters away was the opposite side.

The void between the two formed an abyss-like canyon.

Qin Jin stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down, the cliff walls on both sides forming an arch bridge shape, widening as they went down, visually at least a thousand meters high, with an unknown terrain formation.

Sweeping his gaze below, Qin Jin’s eyes suddenly focused on one spot.

At the same time.

Jiang Panxia’s voice rang out.

“Captain, what’s there?!”

The direction she pointed was exactly where Qin Jin’s gaze lingered,

At the bottom of this canyon, were several corpses that had lost all movement!

In the Star God Forbidden Area, no one had come before.

These were obviously other Chosen Squads who arrived here earlier, lost their footing and fell into the abyss, buried here.

Thoughts crossed Qin Jin’s eyes.

The distance of more than ten meters was not a problem at all for a Newborn Realm martial artist who had undergone transformation and had the assistance of life energy.

They would fall down and die here, either ambushed during the process or encountered other situations.

“I’ll go first.”

Seeing Qin Jin in thought, Yu Sheng’s voice sounded: “Brother Jin, you go last, so if anything unexpected happens, with your condensed Divine Intent, you can help me.”

The martial artist in the Condensation Realm, their Divine Intent can not only perform spiritual attacks but also exert influence on reality when outside the body, which is the biggest change in the Condensation Realm.

Qin Jin did not answer immediately.

His spiritual power spread out to the opposite side, not detecting anything unusual.

He retracted his spiritual power, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: “Alright.”

Among the three, Yu Sheng was undoubtedly the weakest in combat power.

But as he himself said, he would do his best to help Qin Jin.

Getting the answer, Yu Sheng no longer hesitated, taking a few steps back, accumulating power and bursting forth, running out in strides.

With the previous lesson of the deep valley below, he left nothing reserved, directly erupting his life energy, his body rising into the air, heading towards the other side.

Everything appeared normal.

His body drew an arc and landed on the other side.

But…

Just as he stepped onto the opposite shore, Qin Jin saw his leg suddenly bend sharply, causing his body to lose balance.

The Divine Intent, prepared long in advance, manifested as the Golden Armored Divine General, solidifying, ready to assist.

But Yu Sheng had already prepared, and as his body lost balance, his life energy burst forth with full force, leaning forward, staggering a few steps before maintaining his balance.

It looked somewhat awkward.

But without Qin Jin’s intervention, he had already stabilized himself.

“Brother Jin.”

Yu Sheng slightly closed his eyes, as if experiencing something, and after a moment, he opened his mouth to shout: “There is a special kind of pressure here.”

“When I first arrived here, the pressure was the strongest, and now it is gradually weakening.”

“Pressure?”

Qin Jin slightly raised an eyebrow, looking at Jiang Panxia: “You go first.”

“Alright.”

Jiang Panxia, holding a long spear, ran to the edge of the cliff, pressing the spearhead onto the ground. Using her own strength, the spear shaft bent, and with a sudden spring, she leapt over the gorge as if pole vaulting.

She jumped further than Yu Sheng, and after landing, she staggered twice due to the pressure before stabilizing herself.

Seeing both of them cross safely.

Qin Jin no longer hesitated and leapt up.

His Life Index was much higher than the two, and upon landing, he detected the pressure but remained stable and unmoved.

“This kind of pressure…”

As Yu Sheng said, this pressure was strongest initially, then gradually reduced in segments.

This was not a mental pressure but akin to gravity affecting the body, which is why spiritual power did not notice it.

Feeling it, Qin Jin’s heart was stirred.

He circulated his life energy, mobilizing the core power integrated into himself.

At this moment.

The pressure further diminished.

“It really is related to it.”

“There was no pressure at the outermost part, and now it appears.”

Qin Jin looked forward: “If this is the case, the pressure inside the Forbidden Area may become increasingly high, and only by obtaining more core power can the pressure be alleviated.”

“Moreover, it’s more than just that.”

“The pressure decreases in segments.”

“That is to say…”

Thoughts turned in his mind, abruptly gaining a realization.

“It’s about origin, and age!”

He suddenly realized: “The Chosen Plan, with teams composed of individuals from various forces, all consist of young people from the Mining Star.

“This pressure is most likely a repelling force autonomously emitted by the Star God. Individuals born on the Mining Star, more youthful and vibrant, are more readily accepted by the Newborn Star God and can be immune to more repulsion forces.”

“Meanwhile, defeating constructs and obtaining core power, originally emitted by the Star God, can also alleviate the pressure.”

“I see…”

Everything in his mind linked together.

“Now, a question has arisen…”

Thoughts flickered in his mind.

At this moment…

Sensing something, Qin Jin’s gaze suddenly turned to the distance.

From there, the sound of battle emerged.

“Let’s go take a look.”

After Qin Jin gave the order, the three quickened their pace.

As they approached, the sounds of battle had already ceased.

Looking from afar, they saw two teams confronting each other, with traces of battle left on the ground, seeming as if… their recent clash had not determined a victor.

With the thunder on the sky, Qin Jin and his two companions approached, keeping a distance of tens of meters among the three parties, facing each other from afar.

The sky was dark, thunder roared.

At this moment.

The leader of one of the teams looked towards Qin Jin’s direction, and his voice rang out.

“Hey, new friends.”

“I’m Ji Xiuyuan, representing the Corridor Star System branch of the Grand Plan Interstellar Group, participating in this Chosen Struggle.”

“Since you’ve come here, you should have noticed something, right?”

“Since taking down those energy constructs grants immunity to repelling forces, what about taking down other Chosen Ones who have obtained such power?”

“New friends, do you want to try collaborating with us to take down those three fools on the opposite side?”

He seemed gentle and refined, wearing glasses, but his battle-damaged clothes made him look a bit disheveled.

Qin Jin scrutinized both sides, remaining silent.

Not receiving an immediate response, Ji Xiuyuan turned his gaze to the team they were originally confronting.

“My three brothers, I was just joking, these three newcomers are not to be trusted.”

“We might as well join forces, how about dealing with this newly arrived third party together?”
