The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

The crystal stone fell into the lake, creating ripples on the surface. Under Qin Jin’s gaze, his reflection became increasingly clear in the lake. The crystal surrounding Qin Jin constantly changed, with profound and complex runes rising above it initially, then disappearing over time, becoming more transparent.

From the outside, the center of the divine hall where Qin Jin was situated no longer showed his figure; only a crystal several meters high stood, reflecting a brilliant light.

Time passed.

As the interactions continued, within Qin Jin’s spiritual perception, the lake below stirred with waves as questions were answered. At a certain moment, when no more questions emerged in his heart, ripples appeared on the lake, like a fish leaping out of the water. At the center, the waves surged, and eventually... something emerged from the water, floating into the air within Qin Jin’s spiritual perception.

Meanwhile, in the divine hall, the crystal surrounding Qin Jin showed cracks above, yet no sound of breaking was heard. The entire crystal began to reorganize and compress along the cracks, detaching from Qin Jin in an instant, undergoing a significant transformation.

Spirit and reality became one.

At this moment, Qin Jin’s consciousness detached from the spiritual world, and he suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of his chest was a crystal about the size of a palm, exquisitely transparent, with at least a hundred facets, hovering in mid-air.

Qin Jin raised his hand, and the crystal fell into his palm. The moment it touched his hand, a connection was established. The primordial power poured into the crystal like a torrent, its aura became complex, gradually turning transparent, and directly integrated into Qin Jin’s domain, invisible to the naked eye.

But with spiritual perception, its presence could be clearly sensed, circulating within the domain, constantly moving within the primordial power.

Crystal’s Gift.

Recording Crystal!

Qin Jin slightly closed his eyes, then suddenly opened them.

Each Gaia planet’s planetary anomaly is different, and the Gaia planet, which has existed for a long time, contains more than one planetary anomaly. This [Crystal’s Gift] is precisely the planetary anomaly first conceived by the Crystal Branch Star. With the accumulation of time, it is now perfected to the extreme.

Those who experience this planetary anomaly, after undergoing [Crystal Coffin Seal] and [Heart Inquiry in the Lake], while being tempered themselves, will, with the aid of the planet’s great power, create a [Recording Crystal] that best fits themselves.

The so-called [Recording], is that the Evolver himself can engrave their own power on the crystal, continuously accumulating it, to gain blessing from the [Recording Crystal] in battle.

During the engraving, it is also a form of organizing one’s own techniques, and the method resembles the process when a Martial Arts Family breaks through to the Martial Saint Realm. It can be seen as understanding and warming up, thus appearing in the itinerary of the [Martial Saint Map].

Moreover...

[Crystal’s Gift] has undergone continuous evolution and perfection, and it inherently contains different specifications.

Qin Jin participated in the highest regulation, creating the most perfected Recording Crystal. It has an additional special function.

[Protection].

Though named Protection, as the connection deepens, it can indeed act like a life-saving doll, aiding the Evolver to withstand a difficult to bear attack once, which is extremely valuable.

The Recording Crystal traverses through the torrent of primordial power, sometimes entering the domain, sometimes returning to itself.

Thoughts related to this flashed through Qin Jin’s mind, while the light of the surrounding array gradually receded. He lifted his head and looked forward.

The elder who welcomed him stood where he was, watching him. The Crystal Book in front of him closed at this moment, and a slight smile appeared on his aged face. He spoke, ”It seems everything proceeded smoothly.”

He lifted his hand, gently touching the closed Crystal Book. A light surged forth, condensing into a chapter, flying to Qin Jin’s front.

”Mr. Qin, here is comprehensive information about the Recording Crystal for your understanding.”

”Thank you.”

Qin Jin raised his hand to accept it, responding with words.

”The Crystal’s Gift is complete.”

The divine hall became utterly tranquil, with only the elder’s voice echoing: ”The sect has prepared a welcoming feast for Mr. Qin, please follow me.”

After speaking, he made an inviting gesture.

Qin Jin nodded, offering no refusal.

As his personal cultivation continues to improve, the status bonus brought by his identity will rise sharply. Some social interactions are inevitable.

The Federation is like a massive stage. Following the Martial Saint Map, he visits various places in the Federation, marking the start of his debut on this stage.

The place he presently resides in is one of the Water Crystal Sect’s divine halls. For a Divine Spirit Secret Teachings sect, having a base with a divine hall is rare.

The members of the Water Crystal Sect showed great attention to his visit, actively engaging in conversations with him during the feast.

Influenced by the worship of divine spirits, the members of the Water Crystal Sect seem to be scholars with profound knowledge. Yet, Qin Jin, possessing the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven, was not inferior at all. Through the interaction, he gained more understanding of the Divine Spirit Secret Teachings.

[Believer][Knowledge Secret][Priest].

These are the levels of the Esoteric Practitioner he had known before. In the four major evolution routes, the distinction of realms for an Esoteric Practitioner is the vaguest. The whole level system resembles a hierarchy in the Esoteric Buddhism, after all, attracting divine attention can lead to formidable power.

Above the Priest, there is the [Bishop].

Above that, [Gospel][Fire Transmission][Pope][Divine Envoy].

These are the eight realms of an Esoteric Practitioner.

Among them, when an Esoteric Practitioner enters the last four realms, they truly enter the core circle of the Divine Spirit Secret Teachings. A [Gospel Level] member represents the mastery of [Divine Whisper]. With such a capability, if given the chance to gain divine favor, one might soar to great heights, possibly even becoming a [Divine Envoy] directly.
