The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Looking around, he found himself inside the treatment room, the door wide open, people coming and going outside.

Just then.

A Federation Warrior entered in uniform, facing Qin Jin: “Order from the front lines.”

“Qin Jin, you will join the First Expeditionary Corps as the Deputy Commander of the Seventeenth Battle Group.”

After delivering the order, the figure disappeared.

The scenes here were clearly condensed, as the secret realm within the Martial Saint Stele was constructed in fragments, not complete.

“Deputy Commander of the Battle Group…”

Qin Jin’s eyes lowered slightly.

The Federation Army is organized with corps as the main structure, and below the corps are individual battle groups.

Extraordinary Power exists in the Star Sea, and only those with both command talent and personal martial prowess can become leading figures in the Federation Army. In the current Star Sea, a Grandmaster is not enough to hold such a high position.

However…

Mr. Chen Shu’s era, according to the broadcast information in the first scene, Celestial Beings were already at the pinnacle at that time, so this scene is not surprising.

“After a preliminary experience, we also need to supplement the scene in the Innate Realm.”

“Mr. Chen Shu, born into poverty, reached this point, yet the Martial Saint Stele cannot fully recreate his glorious past.”

As the thought flashed by.

Qin Jin stepped outside of the ward.

As he exited the ward, the surrounding environment rapidly changed, the process abbreviated, like a fleeting glance, Qin Jin found himself on the battlefield.

Pioneer Corps.

To this day, the Federation still has the Pioneer Corps, continuing exploration and expansion in the vast Star Sea.

However.

The current Federation is strong enough, lowering the dangers faced by the Pioneer Corps significantly.

But at that time, the Federation was far from today’s prosperity, with the Pioneer Corps facing completely unknown uncharted Star Domains.

Unknown means terrifying.

It was a bleak time of constant sacrifice, yet also a time where one could achieve great merit and rise swiftly.

Qin Jin’s spirit immersed into this, honing himself through relentless combat, the Pioneer Corps faced an array of enemies, from Star Sea-dwelling Exotic Beasts to extremely unique Extraordinary Life forms, and even… some special, complex anomalies in the Star Sea that were targets for the Pioneer Corps to clear.

His spirit embedded in the secret realm, time passed swiftly.

Through successive battles, Qin Jin was promoted to Battle Group Commander.

In battle, he led by example, making rapid breakthroughs, and outside combat, he engaged in martial exchanges with the soldiers under his command, holding nothing back.

This was an extremely pure era.

At this time, the Federation had only been venturing into the Star Sea for a short period, Spiritualists had yet to form a complete system, and hadn’t unleashed their truly terrifying potential, merely seen by the Federation as individuals with [superpowers], while the Esoteric Practitioners were considered complete nonsense.

Because…

At this time, the Federation hadn’t developed means to balance the Cosmic Divine Spirits, lacking truly reliable divine allies, so how could they allow such a cultivation system to appear internally.

Martial Arts…

was the sole solution.

A bit of improvement could save a life on the battlefield, so everyone engaged in mutual exchange.

Qin Jin rediscovered the feeling he had during his first attempt with the Martial Saint Stele, constantly exchanging insights and self-completing.

Everything within the Martial Saint Stele was the evolved imprints of the Martial Saint predecessors.

Gain their recognition, and you may receive inheritance.

Through continuous exchanges, similar to the Source-Killing Cannon acquired initially, he once again received two inheritances.

The first was a secret skill for concealment.

Its name is [Confusion Scripture], achieved through a special way of circulating primordial power to disrupt life signals, thereby achieving the effect of invisibility.

The second was an unnamed [Blood Burning Secret Skill].

Its effect is apparent, being the ultimate means of bursting forth in crises, regardless of the consequences.

In Qin Jin’s speculation, this Blood Burning Secret Skill likely originated from ancient Martial Saint predecessors.

After all, in the current Martial Arts Realm, such secret techniques are no longer revered.

Continuous Pioneer Wars proceed.

At a certain moment, a thought arose suddenly within Qin Jin.

He is clearly aware that here is the Martial Saint Secret Realm, and all “people” capable of engaging with him are evolved from Martial Saint imprints, hence always leading battles, honing himself, and continuously exchanging martial arts with others.

So…

Did Mr. Chen Shu do the same many years ago?

In contemplation.

Qin Jin led the battle group to participate in the next mission.

This mission aimed to clear a [Star Sea Phenomenon].

The so-called Star Sea Phenomenon refers to certain extraordinary phenomena in the Star Sea, possibly covering an area the size of a palm, or it might be expansive, enveloping planets and even Star Domains. All these Star Sea Phenomena are extremely unique, and according to Federation records, even Starships have mistakenly entered them, sailing for mere dozens of seconds inside, only to reappear beyond the Federation’s borders.

The target of their current mission, this Star Sea Phenomenon, was located near a newly discovered Life Planet, necessitating preemptive clearing to avert future mishaps.

Under such circumstances, Qin Jin led the Seventeenth Battle Group on the mission.

Initially, everything went smoothly.

But, midway through the clearing operation, the Star Sea Phenomenon mutated, like a colossal mouth lurking in the Star Sea, swallowing the entire Seventeenth Battle Group.
