The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

"What are you thanking me for?"

Gu Huang stopped: "You’re my student, I trust your judgment, and in such matters, you wouldn’t make a request without reason."

She showed a look of reminiscence: "In the past, back at the academy, my mentor treated me the same way."

Behind her.

Qin Jin pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Master Gu, since you’re preparing to contact Su Wu God, I can share with you what I’ve discovered."

Gu Huang turned back, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised: "Though I’m curious, it’s not to the point where I must know."

"This matter doesn’t greatly affect either of us. Once you know, Master Gu, you can quickly reach out to Su Wu God."

Under Gu Huang’s gaze, Qin Jin didn’t hide any longer and continued: "You should have already guessed that I’ve discovered the peculiarities of Thunder Star."

"The first peculiarity of Thunder Star involves lifespan."

As the words fell.

The starship fell silent.

Waves rippled in Gu Huang’s eyes.

"No wonder you said it doesn’t affect us much."

Gu Huang’s voice, rarely showing a hint of emotion, said: "You want to contact Su Wu God..."

"This is Lord Star God’s return gift to the Federation and Su Wu God."

Qin Jin clarified the relevant information: "Given the gravity of the situation, I wish to contact Su Wu God as soon as possible."

"You’ve made the right choice."

The ripples in Gu Huang’s eyes subsided, her tone serious: "Such matters indeed need preparation; if it leaks out later, it could cause a tremendous stir due to rumors."

"Go to your cultivation."

Gu Huang’s expression was stern: "These details will stop with me; I won’t share them with others. I’ll use a special channel to contact Su Wu God."

After speaking.

Without hesitation, she walked swiftly towards the front of the starship.

Qin Jin exhaled deeply, no longer dwelling on the matter, and went to the Cultivation Chamber.

The starship ascended, climbing into the Star Sea.

Somewhere on Thunder Star.

In the towering forest, Xie Wuya gazed at the map displayed on the light screen before him, then at the endless trees ahead, and couldn’t help but sigh: "I’m worn out, how many more days do I have to chart here?"

Sighing, he continued to move forward.

At the same time.

Elsewhere on Thunder Star.

Outside the construction site for a new urban district, Bai Huaiyu moved through this gradually developing future metropolis, eyes filled with keen interest.

...

This was Qin Jin’s longest journey through the Star Sea.

Traveling from the edge of one part of the star system to the other.

During this journey, he became accustomed to life on the starship, cultivating and steadily improving.

Today.

As another jump concluded, Qin Jin, who was quietly eating in the hall, straightened up and looked out the porthole.

At the distant end of the jump point, the space port was bustling with starship activity, mostly medium to small ships that seemed privately owned.

This space port connected to...

A small city truly established within the Star Sea!

"There, is the third city of Eye of Exile, Ender City."

Gu Huang’s voice sounded: "We’ll rest there briefly, replenish resources, and then head to our destination."

She raised her hand, pointing into the distance.

In the direction she indicated.

At the far end of the Star Sea, eight planets filled with a desolate aura were closely grouped, orbiting each other in an alternately staggered fashion, defying common sense and creating a spectacle in the Star Sea.

"That is Baji Star."

"It’s a collective name for eight planets."

"Some information is beyond Xuan Guang’s authority; it remains unaware."

"Long ago, Baji Star wasn’t in this peculiar form. It wasn’t until an exceptionally unique Star Sea tide linked the planets, creating a special magnetic field, that it became a Sacred Land for Martial Arts practitioners to hone themselves."

She paused slightly, looking at Qin Jin.

"The source of that Star Sea tide..."

"Was due to a Divine Spirit falling in this place."
