The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 96: Chapter 80: Innate Treasure Land

The status of the Sacrificial Spirit in the tribe is incredibly revered. Ever since Qin Jin stayed in the Sacrificial Spirit Hall to prepare for the Chosen One matter, overseeing the tribe, the Sacrificial Fire Tribe’s members would not disturb him unless absolutely necessary.

Now…

For Qi Ze to return and seek him out voluntarily, there must be a significant discovery.

As this thought emerged, the Deep Driller was retrieved from the Mountains and Rivers, and Qin Jin entered it.

Subsequently, the restriction set by Wish Power was lifted, and Qin Jin’s voice echoed in Qi Ze’s mind.

“Come in.”

Outside.

Qi Ze gestured for the others to wait outside, and he quickly stepped into the hall, bowing first before the Deep Driller.

Originally from the Hunting Team, Qi Ze showed his potential after cultivating the Breathing Technique. During this time, he had been exploring with Ding Yang, and his face bore marks of the elements.

“Lord Sacrificial Spirit.”

After bowing, Qi Ze spoke earnestly: “Ding Yang and I, along with other tribesmen, set out based on the information provided by newly joined members to explore the tribe where one of them originated, hoping for any gains.”

“Along the way, Ding Yang made a discovery.”

“According to him, his spiritual sense detected something unusual in his body.”

“Following his intuition, we changed our route and ultimately found a hidden valley!”

As Qi Ze recalled, his expression showed reminiscence: “The valley was very peculiar. Inside, there were no Fierce Beasts or firewood, yet the ground continuously burned with flames, like a valley of fire.”

“When we approached, Ding Yang sensed that it might be a treasure land in the Great Wilderness, feeling that cultivation there would yield unique results.”

“Because we had to continue exploring the origin tribe, we planned to split up. He stayed there to cultivate and see the effects.”

“Unexpectedly…”

“As he began to practice the Breathing Technique there, anomalies emerged.”

Qi Ze’s eyes turned solemn: “The flames in the valley were initially calm, but as he cultivated, they suddenly became agitated, seemingly breaking a balance. Many flames merged into Ding Yang, and as they did, a faint layer emerged within the valley…”

“Hmm…”

“Lord Sacrificial Spirit, I mean no offense.”

He was eager to convey what he witnessed.

Seeing this, Qin Jin responded softly.

Qi Ze steadied his expression, and the Treasure Skill patterns on his left chest shimmered with a gentle light, forming a barrier-like presence around him.

“That’s pretty much it.”

Qi Ze’s pace quickened: “A barrier akin to a defensive Treasure Skill appeared ahead, blocking further entry.”

“Moreover, before the flames underwent mutations, we hadn’t noticed that Treasure Skill barrier at all.”

“Lord Sacrificial Spirit.”

“Ding Yang and I speculated that this might be similar to the chip of the Spirit Spring Tribe, left behind by legends from the Divine Country.”

“We attempted various means like attacks, yet couldn’t penetrate the barrier to enter.”

“Currently, Ding Yang is still there, trying different methods. I returned to request your intervention to explore within. If treasures like the chip exist inside, it certainly holds great benefits for the tribe.”

His words concluded, and anticipation rose on his face.

Inside the cockpit, Qin Jin’s eyes showed contemplation as his voice, amplified by Wish Power, resonated with authority.

“How is Ding Yang’s condition?”

Upon hearing Lord Sacrificial Spirit inquire about Ding Yang first, the reverence in Qi Ze’s eyes grew even stronger: “His condition is exceptionally good, even much stronger!”

“According to Ding Yang, Lord Sacrificial Spirit previously advised him to excavate his potential. During this period, he’s reached the Newborn Realm, gaining subtle control over his Spiritual Power, allowing him to sense changes within himself more keenly.”

“This is precisely why we discovered the treasure land.”

“Now, he remains there, actively attempting to absorb the self-igniting flames to see if it can dismantle the barrier.”

The Deep Driller nodded.

Qin Jin’s voice echoed throughout the hall.

“Let him remain there as a guardian, continuing to seek solutions.”

“Qi Ze, continue to explore other tribes according to the original plan.”

“After some time, I will personally visit that treasure land for exploration.”

“After some time?”

Confusion appeared on Qi Ze’s face, yet out of respect for the Sacrificial Spirit, he refrained from questioning, directly nodding: “I understand.”

“I shall return immediately and inform Ding Yang.”

After speaking, he bowed, took a few steps back, and turned to leave the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Just then.

In his mind, an authoritative voice echoed.

“I’m about to have a breakthrough.”

“Breakthrough?!”

In the previous Sacrificial Fire Tribe, the concept of breakthroughs didn’t exist. They honed their vitality, peaked in adulthood, declined in old age, without any supposed barriers.

But after the implementation of the Breathing Technique, they became aware of the term breakthrough.

Recognizing the implication of this term, Qi Ze suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned back to the Deep Driller, eyes filled with delight.

His years are not many; he hasn’t mastered hiding emotion. In his view, if the already powerful Lord Sacrificial Spirit achieves a breakthrough, what level would he reach? Wouldn’t the Sacrificial Fire Tribe flourish more?

This is pure joy at its core.

Turning back, he saw Lord Sacrificial Spirit gesture for his quick departure.

Observing this, he turned around and jogged away.

After leaving the Sacrificial Spirit Hall region, the restriction of Wish Power rose once more.
