Chapter 519: Return of the Spirit
Chapter 519: Return of the Spirit
Inside the training hall, Teacher Xue and Chen Chuan sat opposite each other. Outside the row of long, wide windows on their sides was a dark sky.
Under the heavy curtain of dark clouds and rain, countless raindrops hit the windows. Although the sound insulation in the venue was very good, they could still hear slight and dense impact sounds, and the light rippling below frequently spread out in the clouds and reflected on the windows, flashing from time to time beside the two of them.
Teacher Xue's voice echoed in the empty venue.
“After overthrowing the old empire, the Dashun government obtained a lot of cultivation scriptures from the state religion and the old imperial family, and sorted and summarized them.
After entering the new era, due to technological advancement, a set of methods that are more suitable for the current situation was compiled on this basis, and a lot of resources were subsequently invested in transformation and optimization.
The method I taught you comes from this.
However, this method is now banned from circulation, and many related materials have been sealed and destroyed.”
Chen Chuan was a little surprised, "Banned?"
Teacher Xue said: "To be precise, this method has never really been circulated outside. It is only taught privately within a limited range, and is even controlled by certain people, haha..."
He sneered, then patted his leg lightly, "Anyway, the reasons are very complicated. I won't tell you in detail today. You will understand it later.
This method has been destroyed, so naturally it has no name anymore. I will just use the name from the old times to refer to it. This is the method of "returning to the spiritual clarity."
There is a saying: "Wash through the spirit and awaken yourself, the heart lamp is bright and clear. Shine on others, on me, on the void, and see the sky empty and free from turbidity."
The theory of the old state religion holds that the human spirit comes from the void, and while maintaining the self, it returns to the void, thus achieving great transcendence.
However, this is just a theory. No one knows whether it is possible to achieve the aspirations of our predecessors. But I always believe that if the torch is passed on uninterruptedly, from generation to generation, maybe one day we can reach that level.
Well, I will give you the specific method now, student Chen, you get ready. "
Chen Chuan immediately held his breath and said okay.
Teacher Xue sat still, but there was light in his eyes.
Chen Chuan only felt that many key techniques were constantly reflected in his mind, and it took him a while to come out of the receiving state.
He inquired a little more and found that in addition to the techniques of sensing and absorbing the essence mentioned by Teacher Xue, there was also a set of methods to train the ability to exclude external influences.
Teacher Xue waited for him to feel it for a while before continuing, "I have said that external influences and essence come together. Some people do not pay attention to rejecting external influences, but only covet essence. This is exactly where problems are most likely to occur.
Because you cannot feel some external influences at first, but they will change you subtly.
Many people don’t realize they have problems, but later on the external influences become one with me, and there is no turning back.”
He slowed down his voice. "They may be able to go very far, but at the end of their practice, they will become another self that is not themselves. At that time, they may not even be considered human beings. When they no longer regard themselves as human beings, it will bring more terrible consequences."
Having said that, he shook his head and stopped talking, but continued to teach about this method.
He said solemnly: "Student Chen, if you want to break through this stage and reach a higher level, both your spirit and body are indispensable and must be polished to perfection.
I won’t say much about the physical practice, you just need to pay attention to it yourself. I will mainly talk to you about the spiritual practice.
It is usually impossible to rush forward spiritually in one breath, because you need to gradually wash away the impurities and filth in your spirit. In the old days, it is the acquired filth that has been contaminated by the human body since birth, rolling around in the world, which needs to be refined to return to the innate purity.
Usually, what fighters can do is to do as you did before, by grinding again and again, hovering below, and gradually accumulating and training.
But once the Heavenly Gate opens, the essence will fall in. If you can absorb enough essence from it to purify your spirit, it can help you greatly shorten the time of your spiritual practice."
Chen Chuan nodded unconsciously.
Teacher Xue smiled at this time, but then said: "But this is still not enough, because the times have changed.
This method is actually most suitable for the situation where there is no World Ring. But now that we have the World Ring, although this method alone can allow you to obtain a relatively stable environment for practice, your spirit cannot be elevated too much due to its influence.
You may not understand what I am saying, well, let me put it this way, while expanding the breadth of your spirit, you must also pursue heights.
Because the deeper the spirit goes to the other side of the Heavenly Gate, theoretically the more essence it will gain.
And if you push your spirit to a high place and leave a trace there, then the next time you go there, you can use it to quickly climb there and naturally get more rewards.
Therefore, when using this method, you cannot just practice the method and stay still, you also need to use another method to stimulate your spirit."
At this point, Teacher Xue's eyes lit up with a sharp light. "As fighters, we naturally have to use fighting to prove ourselves and perfect ourselves."
He looked at Chen Chuan, "Student Chen, when the Heavenly Gate opens, use all your strength to fight, experience the joy of fighting, pursue your goal, and then push your spirit upward.
He said with a smile, "You don't have to think about opponents or anything like that. When that day comes, you will have no shortage of opponents.
After the World Ring was established, because the danger had decreased, many fighters and organizations from all over the world had been trying to actively break through the Sky Gate in order to obtain the source of power, but this would undoubtedly cause many serious consequences, so it was blocked by governments and companies around the world.
Whenever the field creatures in the central city split, they will inevitably attract many fighters eager to make progress.
Therefore, when that day comes, there will surely be many third-level fighters who have embarked on this path entering the central city. They will try to take this opportunity to gain more power, and many organizations and power groups will try to achieve their own goals.
You have to know that since there is a breach in the World Ring, and it happens to be at the time when the creatures in the field of the Mother are splitting, this kind of opportunity may not come for decades. So I tell you not to miss this opportunity. "
At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly remembered that San Chenghuang suddenly came here and verbally said that he was challenging him, but in fact he gave up quickly and said that he would stay for a while.
This must be one of the reasons.
He took a deep breath and said, "The students understand."
"But you have to be careful when choosing your opponent."
Teacher Xue solemnly warned: "When a fighter elevates his spirit to a certain level, he will have some power to interfere with matter, which is also the expression of the heart jade shining through.
At this point, one foot is already half on the threshold of the past.
Those fighters who are about to break the limit are in this state. They have not yet gone through the final cleansing and still have a trace of human filth. However, this kind of fighter is undoubtedly very powerful. If you encounter them, you must be cautious. "
When Chen Chuan heard this, his heart was moved. It seemed that Chen Bitong might be someone who had reached this level. He nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, teacher."
Teacher Xue hummed, and then said: "There is one more thing I want to tell you. When you practice this set of techniques when the Heavenly Gate is open, your spirit will connect with the other side. The deeper the contact, the more it can temper your spirit, thereby purifying it.
But at the same time, when your spirit reaches a certain level, the dangers you encounter will increase accordingly, and you may be noticed by the opposite side, so you must try to protect them. "
As he spoke, he took out an object and handed it to him.
"I'll give you this. It can protect you from infection for a certain period of time. But remember, if it changes color, stop using it immediately. Otherwise, problems may arise. You need to be careful."
Chen Chuan took it. It looked like a bracelet, with something in it that was made of unknown material. It looked a bit like amber, and each piece was shaped like a teardrop.
He said, "Thank you, teacher." He raised his head and asked, "Please tell me, teacher, when will the split of the mother be?"
Teacher Xue said: "The exact time is uncertain, and perhaps it is still uncertain now, but as a fighter who has embarked on the path of spiritual practice, you should be able to feel the throbbing of the mother. You should have noticed it when you took the special medicine, right?"
In the same way, when the mother worm splits, its spirit will be disturbed first. You can judge the time from its specific reaction. It is roughly within that period of time, and the difference will not be too big. "
Chen Chuanxin said he didn’t know.
Because when he absorbs the special medicine, he will isolate himself from external interference. But now that Teacher Xue said this, I can go back and try it.
Teacher Xue stood up from the ground and said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, I've said what I need to say. Let's end today's class here. If you have any questions, please contact me."
Chen Chuan stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."
Teacher Xue smiled, waved to him, and left.
After Chen Chuan watched him leave, he looked at the thick rain clouds outside, stood there thinking for a while, then turned around and left. On the elevator going back to the dormitory, he suddenly saw a flash in the sky.
He took a look and heard Yan Yi's voice from inside: "Mr. Chen, the company recently received a letter from the government. Because of some security issues, we would like to invite you to come to the company."
Chen Chuan thought for a moment and guessed that this should be related to that incident. He was still the security director of Fusion Boundary Company and was also responsible for some of the company's affairs. He said, "Okay, I'll come to the company later."
