The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

At the same time.

In the Star Sea.

A starship was sailing smoothly.

Inside the starship, Duan Junyou gazed at the communication screen that had just closed, his eyes calm, with a hidden pressure.

“Grandfather.”

A voice echoed from in front of him: “I didn’t expect you to be waiting for communication from this little fellow.”

The speaker, wearing the uniform of the Celestial Strategy Academy, had a look of surprise in their eyes.

Celestial Strategy Academy, Celestial Human Guide.

Duan Yunhua.

“Although it was a little later than I expected, since it’s already set up, let’s wait for a while.”

Duan Junyou’s voice was calm as he looked at the other person: “From what you said, have you met Qin Jin?”

“During a mission with the Academy, I met him once.”

Duan Yunhua explained: “During that academy mission, he was indeed the shining star. Although it was a mission for three academies, he alone almost completed everything, and it certainly opened the eyes of his peers.”

“I see.”

Duan Junyou nodded, stood up from his seat, and walked to the porthole, gazing at the silent Star Sea outside.

“People get old and inevitably become hesitant.”

His aged voice had a touch of emotion: “It’s quite humorous to say, as throughout my life on the battlefield, facing those extraordinary beings who surpass me, I’ve never been afraid. But now, when it comes my turn to attempt that step, I feel a bit timid instead.”

“Yunhua.”

“In the future, if you ever have the chance, remember not to be like me, you must strike while the iron is hot.”

“Grandfather…”

Hearing this, Duan Yunhua hesitated: “Do you really want to go there? If you fail…”

“If I fail, then I fail.”

Duan Junyou shook his head, his voice long: “After this communication, seeing such a determined young person, it reminded me of the past too.”

“Back then, I never considered the cost of failure.”

“Because failing means death. Once dead, everything is empty, so why worry so much.”

“Being cautious only impacts oneself.”

“Just treat this as a battle.”

His eyes gradually became sharp.

“Ever since I became the commander of the Judgment Legion, in all the Federation’s campaigns I have participated in, I have never lost.”

During the exchange.

The starship delved deeper into the Star Sea, gradually entering an unknown tranquil area.

…

In this personal base, all facilities are complete, and resources are abundant.

As the inheritance seed of Martial Abyss, Qin Jin, once he returns to the academy and mentions this object, might even receive support from the academy to make this place even more complete.

Qin Jin arrived in front of the cultivation chamber.

After binding with that badge, everything inside had established identity recognition. As soon as Qin Jin arrived, the door opened automatically.

At the moment it opened, a startling chill swept in, and the surrounding temperature plummeted.

Qin Jin’s gaze fell to the center of the cultivation chamber.

There, an object radiating brilliance was quietly suspended in mid-air.

It was about the size of a palm, appearing as a scale, exuding a startling chill. On the scale’s surface, countless intricate and enigmatic patterns were engraved. For those lacking in capability, a single glance would induce dizziness and possibly immediate unconsciousness.

“This is…”

Qin Jin stepped closer, and beneath this scale, a light screen hovered, displaying information.

[Source: Breath of Frost – Ankun]

[Position: Scale]

[Remaining traces of the divine spirit were eradicated in 987 ways, leaving only pure power]

Observing it closely.

The information was concise, but from a single glance, Qin Jin had already deduced much.

“So…”

“This scale is from a divine spirit.”

“A divine spirit that fell at the hands of the Judgment Legion!”

“How significant will that future gift be?”

With thoughts tumbling, Qin Jin pondered more, analyzing in his mind: “Since I have experience converting divine spirit power into my own, that’s why they gifted me this, and they also eliminated the potential threats within.”

“But, why this particular attribute?”

Centered on this divine spirit scale, the cultivation chamber exuded an astonishing chill. With the door opening, it was as if some kind of restriction was lifted, and ice crystals began to form in Qin Jin’s vision.

Thinking it over, he suddenly recalled something.

“In the past, during the time of the Star God’s Chosen One, because I was unclear about Ding Que’s intentions and unaware of the collaboration between the Crown Sect and the Federation, I once used the Profound Ice Body of the Nine Tribulations True Body to freeze Ding Que and had the Saber-toothed Tiger send him back to camp.”

“Such things were quite secretive, but since Elder Duan was the chief commander at that time, the relevant information was likely reported up.”

“Thinking I might possess this kind of talent, moreover, they chose to gift this.”

Qin Jin exhaled a long breath.

Elder Duan’s gift undoubtedly involved some thought.

With a slight movement of his mind.

Enveloped by Wish Power, he placed the scale into the Mountain and River Fragments.

Once the scale was stored away, the chill quickly receded, and in a short time, everything around returned to normal.

“An extraordinary origin, and potential threats were removed.”

“It’s an excellent choice for a Pocket World Divine Object.”

“Breath of Frost…”

Qin Jin contemplated as his eyes shone with thought: “I wonder what shape this divine spirit once took.”

“Born with scales, ironically perhaps not an abstract form, could it be a divine spirit achieved by an Extraordinary Life?”

The way Star Sea Divine Spirits come into existence is extremely mysterious, and remains one of the secrets that the Federation cannot yet unravel. Their forms are also vastly different.

Harboring various thoughts, Qin Jin perused the base seriously.

This isn’t some precious opportunity for secrets, but its value is hard to measure. It’s foreseeable that for a long time to come, it will be by Qin Jin’s side, playing its role.
