The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

The celestial ladder was several hundred steps high, and Qin Jin hurried up swiftly. As he reached the highest point, the refining sensation vanished, and his perception was confined to the Heaven-Reaching Platform, with all external noise blocked out. In Qin Jin’s view, only the Eye of Heaven remained overhead.

Under his gaze, from the Eye of Heaven, a rainbow light swept downward, constructing a vertical rainbow bridge from top to bottom, with ethereal, cloud-like mysterious powers flowing down the bridge towards Qin Jin.

These mysterious powers seemed silvery, and as they descended, the Eye of Heaven blinked, then more mysterious powers, appearing golden, followed, moving together downward.

The two colored powers traversed the rainbow bridge, intertwining, with gold and silver indistinguishable, making the rainbow bridge seem like a guide, confirming the target for these powers.

From top to bottom.

Everything happened in an instant.

Entwined in gold and silver, it became increasingly phantasmal, and moments later, enveloped Qin Jin completely!

Having previously received heavenly rewards, Qin Jin was already prepared.

Yet, when the gold and silver powers touched him, Qin Jin realized this reward was different from previous ones!

Because, enveloped in gold and silver, he felt no special sensation around him; the mysterious power integrated into him seemed utterly ineffective.

The next second, Qin Jin understood their purpose.

After merging into him, this mysterious power headed directly for the Spirit Ruins.

Within the Spirit Ruins, the four cardinal points stood each a Grotto Heaven.

Entangled in gold and silver, they remained unformed, moving within the Spirit Ruins, drawing up Spiritual Power, finally pausing at the midpoint between the Enlightenment Grotto Heaven and the Divine Descent Grotto Heaven.

There, it halted, seemingly rooting itself, with power descending, truly anchoring within the Spirit Ruins, establishing a connection. Then... in Qin Jin’s perception, it began to evolve!

Like a towering edifice rising from flat ground.

Waves surged in Qin Jin’s heart.

Because this evolution process was very familiar to him, clearly harboring some pattern.

It was...

Creating a Grotto Heaven!

However, unlike when Qin Jin personally established a Grotto Heaven, during its creation process, his Spirit Ruins felt no pressure.

”This time, the heavenly reward is actually a Grotto Heaven?!”

”Does this Grotto Heaven fall within the nine Grotto Heavens limit for cultivators, or could it be...”

”The silver power appeared first, with the gold power arriving later; does this imply a deeper meaning?”

Thoughts rapidly flickered in his mind.

Starting from scratch, the Grotto Heaven gradually ascended. Nearing the halfway point, within the Spirit Ruins, the Heaven-Reaching Platform radiated brilliance, which projected into this newborn Grotto Heaven, creating a new Heaven-Reaching Platform within, initially illusory, quickly solidifying.

Simultaneously, the original Heaven-Reaching Platform did the exact opposite, transitioning from solid to illusory, appearing to complete a transfer.

Everything advanced swiftly.

Under Qin Jin’s attentive gaze, this brand-new Grotto Heaven, his fifth Grotto Heaven, fully formed, within which clouds and mist swirled, with the Heaven-Reaching Platform faintly visible. Externally, it was built from intertwining gold and silver, forming intricate patterns.

Upon its formation, the Cave Heaven Power flowed out, feeding back into himself.

Qin Jin quietly experienced his changes.

Perhaps because he had completed the initial fusion of two systems, or maybe because this Grotto Heaven was exceptionally extraordinary, the feedback effect was particularly remarkable.

”Though my Ten Thousand Ancient Grotto Heaven is not complete, the Spirit Ruins have gained an additional Grotto Heaven. It seems this newly born Grotto Heaven truly stands independently from the main system.”

”Moreover...”

He carefully sensed: ”This newly born Grotto Heaven formed in a state of Perfection, exceptionally unique. Given its current state, once I cultivate the Ten Thousand Ancient Grotto Heaven to its current limit, I can proceed directly with developing the Sixth Grotto Heaven.”

The enhancement continued.

For a long while.

Qin Jin stood silently, suddenly opening his eyes.

Beneath him, the Heaven-Reaching Platform had disappeared, and above, the Eye of Heaven was gone, yet the new Grotto Heaven within the Spirit Ruins, the augmented power was unmistakably real.
