Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Undercurrents Chu Tianyi walked in the air, and the scene quickly fell silent. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚 Skywalking. This is something countless humans have dreamt of. The young people who came to the base, at this moment, still don’t know about the Chosen plan, but they already know that this time they are working for a Spiritualist. Although it harbors danger, the rewards will be significant. Nowadays. Upon seeing this skywalking figure, they all realize that this person is the master of this temporary base. As the existence with the highest threshold among the four major evolution routes, even with the large human population of the Federation supporting it, Spiritualists are still considered rare. Those listed here, are witnessing a Spiritualist for the first time in their lives. "I am Chu Tianyi." His voice echoed continuously: "During the upcoming time, I will provide you with cultivation resources, and there will be specialists to guide you." "Your task is to enhance yourself as much as possible." "Within this base, several rounds of elimination will be conducted, ultimately... I only want two people." "The two who emerge victorious will join your captain, Qin Jin, in participating in a crucial competition." "Now." "Everything officially begins!" After uttering the final words, Chu Tianyi’s figure disappeared. Down below. People streamed out of the base’s buildings; the race formally commenced. After disappearing, Chu Tianyi’s figure appeared at the top level of the central building of the base. As a Spiritualist, he possesses abilities akin to "Instant Teleportation." He gazed at the situation within the base, his eyes fluctuated with thought. "Yan Gaoyuan indeed recommended a good candidate for me." "Qin Jin." "This kind of performance shows a trend of surpassing ordinary talents, already starting to advance toward Celestial Pride." ... In the wilderness. Qin Jin moved quickly. Wish Power aided Spiritual Power, perceiving everything around him. "No one followed." "It seems, just as Teacher Su said, in his view, personal enlightenment is equally important to Martial Arts, giving me enough freedom without restricting me to the base." "Once I receive the subsidy from Wuyuan Academy, I can use it as cover." "However, still need to be cautious, can’t relax." "The environment of the Mining Star is too complex, but it also harbors opportunities. If I can establish a connection with the Star God, I would truly possess a foothold in the Federation." Shifting his thoughts, he thought of another matter. "The Mining Star’s previous educational resources and cultivation resources were extremely simple. Now, these young people at the base are being nurtured and will experience explosive growth in a short time. Hopefully, in the end, I can select two good teammates." "After this incident, no need to worry about the trouble they might bring." What he thought was naturally the scene of mental suppression over the entire field. Since Chu Tianyi promised him the captain position, Qin Jin wouldn’t be polite and didn’t want to waste time either. Facing these young talents, nothing commands respect more than genuine strength. Strength surpasses all conversation. Along the way. Qin Jin dealt with a few Thunder Elements. Knowing that these Thunder Elements originated from the birth of the Star God, Qin Jin purposely observed them but didn’t gain much. These are purely Energy Constructs. Returning to Xinyang District, Qin Jin headed towards the warehouse. Perhaps due to having a prediction in his heart, along the way, he saw many seemingly significant figures. As one of the five major survival zones of Mining Star, Xinyang District has already become "lively." He even saw acquaintances from afar. Crown Sect, Bai Qiushi! A dozen buildings in a row were adorned with flags bearing the Crown Sect emblem, vaguely visible with energetic young people coming in and out. "Crown Sect, one of the ticket holding forces?" "Bai Qiushi mentioned that he would be stationed at Mining Star for a while because of this matter?" "It seems the competitor sought by Crown Sect is also a Martial Arts Family, following the Martial Arts evolution route." His steps did not halt, casually observing, his heart enlightening. "Is it because of the power system?" "The power of Spiritualists is special, and the Technology Side is not pure enough, Esoteric Buddhism further employs other godly forces." "Only the Martial Arts Family, who temper themselves, maintain their true selves, won’t clash with the Star God." He marched forward, returning to the warehouse. Seeing the familiar Deep Driller, Qin Jin exhaled deeply. Now, he has discovered the planet’s greatest secret and set an ambitious goal to pursue. "Next, this warehouse needs some modifications." "Deep Driller..." Qin Jin gazed at the mining machine: "After all, it’s just an old mining machine, even if modified, its potential is still too limited." "Up until today, there are only two directions left." "Once I acquire enough resources, I’ll directly start crafting a battle mecha exclusive to myself, ensuring a higher potential." "Or..." "Use Wish Power to continually nurture Deep Driller. When the Sacrificial Spirit connection is established, Deep Driller also absorbs Wish Power. Under the influence of the Fire Sacrifice Tribe’s ritual and Wish Power, one day, it might transform into an Ancestral Treasure, a Holy Relic, becoming an Extraordinary Mecha." "At that time, its potential will also increase, and it can be gradually modified using it as the base." "Bones like those of the Three-headed Exotic Python can become one of the mecha materials." Qin Jin pondered and ultimately made a decision. "First, proceed with both directions simultaneously, see which one can be realized first." In the base, he saw [Echoes of the Heart Abyss], making him rather envious. No one can refuse to pilot an extraordinary and top-class mecha. "Regardless of which plan, the mecha’s appearance will greatly change, but with Wish Power as a connector, when returning to the Great Wilderness facing the Fire Sacrifice Tribe’s people, I’ll tell them the Sacrificial Spirit has broken through." "As an Extraordinary Creature, it’s quite reasonable for the Sacrificial Spirit to change appearance after breaking through." "One day, I also want to pilot a mecha like Echoes of the Heart Abyss into the Great Wilderness." After confirming the surrounding situation, Qin Jin boarded Deep Driller, once more heading to the Great Wilderness. His recent plans are quite simple. Fully inscribe the Three-headed Exotic Python, returning with Python Blood to the Fire Sacrifice Tribe, giving them a major upgrade as well. ... Great Wilderness. East of the Fire Sacrifice Tribe. A battle is unfolding. The Hunting Team of the Fire Sacrifice Tribe is encircling a wolf-like Fierce Beast. This giant wolf, six to seven meters long, appears fierce, with unique bone wings growing from frost-white fur on its back. These wings do not endow it with the ability to fly, but every time they spread, a strong wind kicks up. Nearby, Hunting Team members cooperate, attacking and defending together to restrict its actions. Among them, a young face takes the lead. He appears to be around twenty years old, wielding a Bone Saber, yet exudes the strongest aura, acting as the primary combatant. And in the rear, a figure oversees, it is Xia Rock Tiger. As the battle wears on, the giant wolf accumulates more wounds, its aura gradually weakening. In the rear, seeing the opportunity, Xia Rock Tiger extends his left hand in a bow-holding gesture, raises his right hand in a string-pulling gesture, though no bow is held, nor arrows. Yet energy ripples outward, constructing a bow body and forming a Divine Arrow. Shoot! Through cultivation of Breathing Technique and continuous self-growth, his Treasure Skill displays even greater power! In continuous wear-down, the giant wolf is heavily wounded, facing the Divine Arrow piercing through the sky, it fails to evade and is directly pinned to the head. Injuries worsen. Other Hunting Team members, working smoothly, continue their assault. Ultimately... Its body collapses with a crash, motionless. "Brother Hu, your Treasure Skill’s power has grown stronger." Praises sound from the crowd. "Qi Ze, you’re not far behind either." Within the Fire Sacrifice Tribe, Qi, Shi, and Xia are the primary clans. Called Qi Ze by him, the young man is the standout performer in the Hunting Team. Members begin dissecting the giant wolf on the spot, Xia Rock Tiger steps closer, looking at Qi Ze: "How soon will you break through to the Newborn Realm?" "It should be soon." Qi Ze’s face shows simplicity and excitement: "I can vaguely sense I’m just a step away." Hearing this, Xia Rock Tiger nods in satisfaction. Following the introduction of Breathing Technique to the Fire Sacrifice Tribe, aside from immature children, every tribe member can cultivate. The progression of cultivating Breathing Technique varies, indicative of Martial Arts Talent. Qi Ze is the one within the tribe advancing fastest in Breathing Technique, gifted in this aspect. "Upon returning, you’ll have priority in using this Fierce Beast’s blood." He looks at Qi Ze: "With Lord Sacrificial Spirit’s Breathing Technique given, if you can awaken Treasure Skill, your combat power will significantly increase, providing the tribe with another layer of security." "Yes." Qi Ze nods firmly. Xia Rock Tiger prepares to say more. But at that moment, his ears twitch slightly, detecting a sound, his gaze suddenly turns toward a nearby dense forest. "Who’s there?!" The Fire Sacrifice Tribe people present, immediately pause their actions, holding weapons, casting wary eyes toward the forest, ready for action.
