The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 357 - 164: Rising Sun at Dawn, Unfallen Sunset (Part 2)

In terms of perception, compared to the barren appearance from the last visit, there have been noticeable changes here. Although it’s still not as idyllic as the Zhi Xia Star resembling an Immortal Realm, the surrounding greenery is lush and full of vitality, making one feel refreshed upon sensing it.

At the same time.

Heavy pressure swept over, crashing onto the physique like countless heavy hammers striking simultaneously.

Qin Jin felt this state, suddenly raising his eyebrows slightly.

"Hmm?"

The Breathing Technique mainly hones the physique of a Martial Artist, consolidating it and broadening the container.

But now, Qin Jin was enduring this pounding, clearly perceiving that compared to the last attempt at the Star Breathing Technique, the pressure had weakened somewhat. Simultaneously... during the tempering, Primordial Power fluctuations manifested clear growth, emerging anew from various parts of the body, yet the physique had almost not grown at all.

This effect seems not like operating a Breathing Technique, but rather akin to performing a Visualization Technique.

"What’s this?"

With rising doubts in his heart, Qin Jin halted the Breathing Technique and seriously perceived his own state.

Meanwhile, he did not hesitate, raising his terminal, and immediately edited and sent out a message.

The recipient was precisely Gu Huang.

In everyday cultivation, whenever encountering any issues, he would directly raise questions to Master Gu. A Celestial Being is entirely capable of resolving any problems he currently faces in martial cultivation.

The message was sent, and in merely a dozen seconds, a communication request popped up.

Qin Jin connected the communication, and Gu Huang’s figure appeared on the light screen before him.

During the holidays, the background behind Gu Huang appeared somewhat desolate, evidently not in the academy either. At this moment, her eyes focused on Qin Jin within the communication screen, her voice sounded: "Qin Jin, are you certain that while operating the Breathing Technique, a Visualization Technique-like effect has appeared?"

Qin Jin nodded.

"Master Gu, what is this situation?"

"If your description is accurate, then you are very likely touching upon the theoretical limits of the Innate Transformation."

"Theoretical limits?"

Gu Huang’s expression was serious in the light screen: "I’ve mentioned to you before, Innate Nine Transformations vary due to different talent accumulations of individuals. The Primordial Power each Innate Transformation can bear and the effect after transformation are naturally different."

"The more extraordinary figures with outstanding talent accumulate more at the Innate Realm."

"But similarly, this accumulation also has an upper limit. The so-called physique container, upon reaching a certain extent, cannot increase further."

"That is what I mean by theoretical limits."

She looked deeply at Qin Jin: "The reason it’s called theoretical limits is because it’s a situation theorized by martial arts-related laboratories; however, as far as I know, there’s yet to be a Martial Arts Family whose own innate transformation limit truly reaches the theoretical limits."

"Because..."

"These theoretical limits do not target the human body itself, but rather the Life Level, the theoretical upper limit of countless Star Sea Lives at the same Life Level!"

Her voice was steady: "The path of martial arts is the path of evolution. Every advancement is an elevation of Life Level, and this elevation of Life Level is mysterious and unpredictable; you can even consider it as a constant rule within the cosmic Star Sea."

"Assuming the Life Level of an Extraordinary Life is at 10, then its theoretical upper limit is a fixed number, and after reaching it, only by further elevating the Life Level can it grow again."

"To you, the Breathing Technique is merely a catalyst mainly because your physique has reached the theoretical limit; upon operating the Breathing Technique, your body desires further evolution, thus generating Primordial Power to compensate for deficiencies and quickly complete the transformation."

"Qin Jin."

"The effect of your transformation this time will likely surpass the Extra Transformation."

Qin Jin listened attentively.

The Extra Transformation referred to by Gu Huang naturally implies the Divine Martial Furnace.

"I understand."

Qin Jin nodded.

At this moment, in the communication screen, there suddenly came a roaring sound in the background, the overflowing Extraordinary Power visible behind.

Seeing this, Qin Jin said: "Master Gu, you continue your work."

"Hmm."

Gu Huang nodded, gazing at Qin Jin on the screen, finally saying: "After the holiday ends and you return to the academy, we’ll discuss further."

The communication ended.

Qin Jin put down the personal terminal.

During communication with Gu Huang, he already had an idea in mind, now more clearly comprehended.

Upon returning to Thunder Star, he had tried operating the Star Breathing Technique to confirm the situation, and at that time, everything was normal.

Now, changes have occurred.

Thus, the reason was left with only one.

Heaven and Earth Divine Light!

This is the influence accompanying the gift from the Desolate Heaven and Earth.

"The enhancement of talent is a transformation of the entire person, also triggering a chain reaction on martial arts."

"This is what can be called a fortuitous encounter."

"Next, it’s about enhancing Primordial Power, filling my now riverwide container, then proceeding with the next transformation."

"By then, combining the Fourth Transformation with an extra one, the Innate Fifth Transformation already exhibits the semblance of an initial entry into Grandmaster."

"Grandmaster..."

Ripples flashed in Qin Jin’s eyes.

Initially meeting bone age requirements, while on Mining Star, learning martial arts with Teacher Wen, not to mention Grandmaster, even Innate Realm was something he deeply admired.

But now...

Grandmaster is no longer afar; judging from the specific indices of each of his transformations, even upon initially entering Grandmaster, he is bound to be amongst the outstanding ones.

In retrospect, everything seems somewhat dreamlike.

However, Qin Jin does not feel surprised.

Opportunities, talent, and diligence have fashioned this step; thinking of the sights and experiences within evolving dimensions, he feels it’s still not enough.
