The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 124: Chapter 89: The Secrets of the Great Wilderness

On the hillside, the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd turned around and left.

After his final interaction with Bai Su, confirming that the Slippery Fish had fallen, Qin Jin did not linger and continued on his journey.

He had already obtained the information he wanted to know.

In the distance.

The tribemembers of the Wind Language Tribe witnessed the scene and gathered around.

“Lord Bai Su.”

The man who had condensed his Treasure Skill walked at the forefront: “Are you alright?”

“I am fine.”

Bai Su, with a deer head, gazed into the distance: “This visitor named Jin is also a Sacrificial Spirit. He came to me only to ask some questions.”

“Sacrificial Spirit?”

The tribesmen who approached each other exchanged surprised glances.

“He comes from the Sacrificial Fire Tribe and is quite powerful.”

Bai Su’s eyes flickered: “The monster within Daffodil Lake has already been dealt with by him. From now on, the tribesmen won’t need to go further to fetch water.”

After speaking, he looked at the assembled tribesmen: “You may all disperse.”

Upon hearing this, the man with the Treasure Skill hesitated briefly, then was the first to leave.

The crowd dispersed.

Bai Su stood on the hillside, his gaze was deep and reflective, watching the direction in which the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd had disappeared, wondering what he was thinking.

…

Day and night, he traveled continuously, delving further.

The Starfire Federation draws ever closer to the beginning of the selection examination.

Within the Great Wilderness.

The range of Qin Jin’s map extended farther and farther, and in his continual progress, he keenly noticed the anomalies around him.

In the Great Wilderness, Fierce Beasts were rampant, but in recent days, he hadn’t encountered any Fierce Beasts.

This morning, it was early.

Ahead, there was a cliff that suddenly ascended in height, and the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd climbed steadily upward along the predetermined path, reaching the top.

Under Qin Jin’s guidance, the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd gradually advanced, reaching the edge of the cliff.

He looked downward.

In front of him, was unexpectedly an Abyss!

At a glance, this Abyss spanned hundreds of feet wide, with clouds and mist swirling below, obscuring the precise depth.

Qin Jin proceeded along the edge of the cliff; this Abyss stretched countless miles, akin to a natural barrier, yet it seemed as though a terrifying entity had split the land asunder with tremendous force, creating the Abyss and blocking the area.

And on the other side of this Abyss, a more precipitous cliff could be faintly seen, with a height surpassing that beneath Qin Jin’s feet, like a high wall barring the opposite side.

“Is this the endpoint of the southwestern direction?”

He confirmed the place where the Horse-headed God last vanished as his direction, precisely southwest.

“The depths of the Great Wilderness spoken by the tribespeople—is it this Abyss before me, or the other side, or another extreme distant location?”

As these thoughts arose.

Qin Jin felt a stirring in his heart and retrieved the Mountain and River Fragments from his embrace.

This Bronze Fragment had been with Qin Jin all along, and now, amidst the shimmering light, it trembled slightly.

This was the first time it showed any abnormality!

With the fragment trembling, a brilliant light emerged, and under Qin Jin’s gaze, the light streaked across the sky above the Abyss, landing on the cliff opposite.

The cliff fluctuated!

During the fluctuation, akin to a mirror shattering, the top of the cliff was filled with cracks, then suddenly fractured, revealing its true form within.

The cliff was merely an illusion!

On the opposite side, high above the sky, a bronze artifact revealed itself, suspended aloft as though guarding the place.

That is…

It’s the fragment of the Mountain and River Giant Cauldron!

Compared to the piece in Qin Jin’s hand, the fragment in the skies was enormous, seemingly part of the cauldron’s belly connected to the cauldron’s ear, intricately carved with lifelike mountains, birds, fish, and insects running through; Qin Jin’s gaze fell upon it as though truly located within the mountains and rivers, hearing the crisp bird songs and witnessing lively fish swimming.

It hung high in the sky, at the fractured edge, thick Bronze Chains extended outward, spanning the heavens and earth, forming a shield that obscured the sky.

“Is the Golden Crow above the sky actually being obstructed by this?”

A thought flashed through his mind.

The light emitted from the fragment in Qin Jin’s hand triggered such a change, and in a visible area, a portal appeared on the barrier formed by the Bronze Chains, slowly opening towards an unknown land.

At the moment the portal took shape, a rainbow bridge manifested, arcing across the sky above the Abyss, connecting the two ends, extending not far in front of the Azure Thunder Profound Halberd.

This scene truly appeared dreamlike.

Qin Jin tentatively stepped onto the rainbow bridge.

It was exceptionally solid.

It seemed this was indeed a bridge for crossing the Abyss.

His gaze lingered on this vast scene; Qin Jin took one last look at the fragment of the Mountain and River Giant Cauldron high in the sky and, without hesitation, turned around and retreated.

A portal leading to unknown lands, while Qin Jin had intentions to explore the Great Wilderness, he wasn’t so reckless as to do so without caution.

No one knew the situation on the other side of the portal; even without danger, if he couldn’t return, the consequences were not something Qin Jin could accept.

As Qin Jin retreated, the trembling of the Mountain and River Fragment ceased gradually.

Behind him.

The rainbow bridge withdrew, the portal closed, and the fragment of the Mountain and River Giant Cauldron in the sky gradually faded, with the opposite side of the Abyss reverting to resembling a cliff.

Qin Jin gazed at the giant cauldron fragment in his palm, his thoughts racing.

“Is it only this direction that has such a Restriction, or does the entire Great Wilderness lie under the fragment of the Mountain and River Giant Cauldron?”

“Is the depth of the Great Wilderness referring to the world beyond that portal?”

“With such a Restriction, how did the Three-headed Exotic Python enter; was it born on this land, or did it also have a Mountain and River Fragments at some point?”

“Did the Horse-headed God take more than just its Crystal Core?”
