The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 339 - 160: Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate

"Shi Cang was not favored by the heavens and earth."

Inside the cockpit, Qin Jin’s eyes lowered slightly as thoughts flickered through his mind.

"Is it due to the lack of an opportunity?"

"The sky above has Divine Cauldron Fragments shrouding it, blocking everything. It was only after entering the Pocket World Realm, due to the connection of the Celestial Cyan Technique with this realm, that the heavens and earth became aware of me and granted me the true name of the Pocket World Realm."

"This hypothesis is quite easy to verify. Once Shi Cang breaks through to the Pocket World Realm, the outcome can be ascertained."

As thoughts flowed, Qin Jin didn’t delve deeply into this issue. A calm voice arose, echoing through the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

"I once accidentally acquired a treasure."

As the voice resounded and under the shroud of Wish Power, through the mecha’s built-in transmission device, the Nine-Story Small Tower left the cockpit and appeared in the hall.

The enveloping Wish Power receded, revealing the tower’s true form as it quietly hovered in mid-air.

"Can you discern the origin of this object?"

Qin Jin’s inquiry resonated.

After the cracks on the Enlightenment Stele were somewhat repaired, its consciousness awakened and some abilities were restored. Upon hearing the question, it sparkled with radiance that spread across the small tower.

It seemed to be in the process of sensing and identifying, and after seriously confirming, a voice emerged.

"I have not seen this object before."

"In the past, before the great cataclysm occurred, I resided in the Far North Land of the heavens and earth, where various beings frequently visited, seeking my traces to gain insight into the true essence of cultivation through my power. However, I have never traveled far myself."

"Therefore, I have limited knowledge of treasures from the outside world."

At this point, the voice slightly wavered: "However, I can sense that the aura of this small tower is unique, likely similar to me, also being a treasure borne of the heavens and earth."

"Such celestial treasures come into the world imbued with spirituality; after existing for a longer duration, they can, like me, communicate with other beings."

"This small tower is severely damaged, its spirituality obscured. But you are favored by the heavens and earth and can draw upon their power during cultivation. Repeated efforts should easily awaken its spirituality, even if it can’t be completely restored."

The explanation from the Enlightenment Stele was particularly earnest.

After all, its premature awakening was thanks to Qin Jin; when Qin Jin opened the Second Grotto Heaven, it received repairs, and personally witnessed the descent of Divine Light from the sky, verifying the event’s authenticity.

The opportunity for it to awaken sooner and remain at Shi Cang’s side meant a higher chance of complete restoration in the future, prompting its thorough engagement with Qin Jin’s queries.

"I understand."

"Thank you."

Expressing gratitude, Qin Jin called Shi Cang back, watching the little thing take the Enlightenment Stele and depart.

"Although the specific origin is unknown, at least it’s confirmed that this treasure is also borne of the heavens and earth, reducing many hidden concerns, and moreover, the direction for its restoration is now known."

With a subtle thought, the small tower was retrieved back to the cockpit.

The damaged small tower quietly hovered before him.

Qin Jin spiritually connected with it, while the Spirit Ruins quivered slightly, initiating a pull.

The small tower was drawn into the Spirit Ruins.

Upon confirming it as a genuine celestial treasure, Qin Jin felt reassured, opting to place it in the Spirit Ruins for nurturing—an approach typical among Immortal Dynasty cultivators in handling precious treasures.

His heart swept over the wondrous sights within the Spirit Ruins. Through spiritual manipulation, the small tower streaked through the air, ultimately settling into the Thunder Marsh.

Upon entering the Thunder Marsh, the small tower hovered above, with thunder autonomously approaching and weaving through its interior and exterior.

"Within my Spirit Ruins, the Thunder Marsh is the place currently most connected to the heavens and earth, possibly expediting its repairs."

"However, if its spirituality is to awaken, it can only be done during Breaking Realm, similar to when assisting the Enlightenment Stele."

A hint of anticipation flickered in Qin Jin’s eyes.

Though this small tower is damaged, its celestial origin is noteworthy; its broken state, in fact, signifies that it has likely endured events from the Ancient Immortal Dynasty.

Such age-old treasures, once restored, would undoubtedly exhibit unrivaled utility.

Thoughts flickered by.

Qin Jin had long since planned, submerging his heart into the Celestial Cyan Pendant.

His attention focused on the two True Scriptures.

[Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking]

[Nine Heavens Thunder Prison Heart Sutra]

His heart skimmed over them as Qin Jin made his decision.

"Cultivate the Nine Secrets first, then train in the Heart Sutra."

"Perfect, it provides an opportunity to test my hypothesis."

With that thought, the information related to the [Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking] surfaced above the space within the Celestial Cyan Pendant, with characters enlarging across the sky.

Ji Lianxing left behind numerous True Scriptures, among which Qin Jin picked those most suitable for his cultivation journey.

Among them, the Thunder Marsh Technique and Fire God Technique are cultivation techniques based on the Celestial Cyan Technique, branching into various extraordinary transformations of increased difficulty and enhanced efficacy.

Besides cultivation techniques, the True Scriptures within the Celestial Cyan Pendant include pure [Skills], purely extraordinary methods.

[Nine Secrets of Star-Seeking] is one such example.

Qin Jin, currently at the middle stage of the cultivation system, opted to first hone the techniques to build himself up before delving into skills.

At this moment, the text mirrored across the firmament.

This scripture closely links with the stars in the heavens, with cultivators perceiving and establishing connections with the stars, projecting them onto the Spirit Ruins, exploring the cultivation of Nine Secrets, and thereby deriving methods.

Moreover.

According to the scripture’s record, if a cultivator masters this method, within a minor realm in the Celestial Cyan Legal System, barriers will dissolve, allowing effortless breakthroughs.

Throughout the long stretch of the Immortal Dynasty, cultivators have delved deeply, thoroughly exploring this cultivation system.

Carefully reading through the contents and etching them in his mind, Qin Jin closed his eyes, and according to the scripture’s guidance, spiritual power circulated within the Spirit Ruins, gradually leading his spirit into a wondrous state, amidst perceptions of encompassing darkness and emptiness.
