Chapter 93 The Secret of the Seven Chakra Points and the Return

After learning about the seven chakra points, Kahn began his formal training, which included learning the application skills of spirit control techniques as well as tempering his mind.

However, while he learned the application skills very smoothly, his spiritual practice was quite torturous.

The process of opening the seven acupoints will have a significant impact on the mind and spirit. Once it begins, it cannot be easily stopped. Therefore, thorough preparations must be made before opening the seven acupoints.

In other words, preparing means constantly confronting your own inner conflicts, which is a rather painful process.

The reason why a knot in one's heart becomes a knot is because people find it difficult to face and let go of it. The difficulty of reconciling with it is self-evident.

Fortunately, Kahn has a very open-minded personality, and he is willing to face problems, admit mistakes, and accept his own shortcomings. These qualities alone make him much better than most people.

During this process, Kahn recalled many things from the past.

For example, his anger upon learning that Zuko was injured and banished; his guilt for using Kori, who trusted him, and unknowingly putting her in danger; and his fear of his transmigrator identity being exposed.

He can laugh off some of them, and he can face others normally, but he still feels uneasy whenever he thinks about them.

Moreover, he felt that many of these issues could not be resolved simply through self-reflection; to truly resolve them, one must ultimately return to reality.

However, although Kahn himself found the training process quite grueling, Gurubask said he was quite insightful.

"Generally speaking, the Qihe clan is best suited to cultivate spirit control techniques, while other clans have some problems to varying degrees, with the Huolie clan being the most outstanding among them."

Qi is the element of freedom, therefore the Qi people do not concern themselves with worldly affairs, pursue a free and peaceful life, and pay more attention to spiritual harmony. This personality is in line with the pursuit of spirit control techniques.

Fire is an element of energy, providing people with energy and motivation on their journey to realize their ideals and desires. Therefore, people of the Fire Clan are often energetic, have clear and firm goals, and possess strong execution capabilities.

On the other hand, the Firefly people are often impatient and stubborn, prone to getting stuck in their own ideas, and find it difficult to change their existing beliefs.

These negative personality traits are very detrimental to cultivating spirit control techniques.

However, Kahn's personality clearly defies this stereotype.

In addition, Gurupask advised him to complete this stage of training as soon as possible, because as his experience increases and he accumulates more emotions, the seven acupoints will become increasingly difficult to open.

Moreover, opening the seven acupoints does not mean everything is fine. If the practitioner experiences certain emotions due to certain events afterward, the chakra acupoints may become blocked again.

At this point, the practitioner needs to undergo another test of their mind.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand why the Qi and the tribe, as well as ascetics like Gurupask, prefer to live in seclusion and not concern themselves with worldly affairs.

As long as one stays out of the world and doesn't interact too much with others, one won't create new troubles. This is indeed a very effective way to maintain a pure mind.

Unfortunately, Kahn's current situation doesn't allow him to do that, nor does he like to do it.

But this also means that his path to self-cultivation will be even more difficult.

"So why exactly do we need to cultivate our minds, and what's the use of opening the seven acupoints?"

"Kahn asked."

"Good question."

Gurupas explained with a smile:

"Cultivating the mind, in its simplest sense, is nothing more than pursuing inner peace. Life is full of troubles, and there are too many things that affect our hearts. Every time we think about them, we cannot find peace. Cultivating the mind is to eliminate this trouble."

"And at a higher level, the reasons vary."

"After the seven acupoints are opened, you will feel an unprecedented sense of ease. Everything will become clear and you will feel refreshed. The fog in front of you will dissipate and the world will become clearer."

Kahn nodded as if he understood, but just from that, it sounded like entering some kind of mysterious state after all seven acupoints were opened.

Just then, a spark suddenly flashed through his mind, and a word suddenly jumped out of his memory.

He blurted out instinctively:

"Returning to the innate state?!"

The concept of "innate" comes from his hometown. He encountered this term most often in martial arts novels, where there is often a realm called "innate," and those who reach this realm are called innate experts.

This type of concept holds that the world is filled with foul and turbid air, which corrupts human functions, and that only people in the period from their initial formation to their birth are theoretically in the most perfect and flawless state.

This flawless state is called the innate state, and human cultivation is to remove the impurities brought about by acquired factors and return to the innate state.

The process of opening the seven acupoints described by Gurubask, and the mysterious state that one enters after the seven acupoints are opened, does indeed sound quite similar to returning to one's original state.

"Returning to the innate state? What is that?"

Gurupas was curious about this unfamiliar term, so Kahn excitedly told Gurupas about the concept of innateness and his conjecture.

"They are indeed very similar. In that case, let's just name it 'Innate'."

After hearing this, Gurubask laughed in surprise.

While affirming Kahn's conjecture, he also decided to accept Kahn's suggestion and name the mysterious state after the seven acupoints were unblocked as "innate".

Seeing this, Kahn was both pleased and excited. He was pleased that Gurubask had approved of the concept, and excited because—

If that's the case, then wouldn't he really have a chance to become a Grandmaster of the Innate Perfection realm in the future?

My motivation to cultivate has increased!

Thus, the ten days passed quickly amidst such fulfilling training.

This period was both pleasant and not so pleasant for Kahn.

Needless to say, it was pleasant, but the mental training was indeed very difficult. In the instant when he temporarily stopped training and prepared to go back, Kahn even felt a sense of relief.

Meanwhile, the four friends from all directions seemed to be having a great time. Kahn sometimes couldn't understand what was so fun about this empty place with nothing but scenery, and how they could have so much fun.

That being said, it would be great if they could have fun, and Kahn was equally happy to see that they still had no intention of returning to the spirit world.

Having bid farewell to Gurupask, Kahn returned to the capital aboard the Four-Sided Back.

We'll have to see how things go next time we come, but since Gurupask will stay at Tokiwaji Temple, there's no need to worry about not being able to find him.

With the help of all parties, Kahn was not late this time and returned as promised within the ten-day deadline.

Upon seeing Azura again after ten days, Kahn suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable joy, and the pressure he had been under during his training dissipated considerably.

So he gave her a genuine smile and said:

"Azura, I'm back."

Azura froze for a moment, completely forgetting the lines she had rehearsed in her mind, and could only awkwardly utter one sentence—

"So what if you're back? Who cares?"

I've been experiencing writer's block these past couple of days, sorry.

The main problem is that the original work rarely mentions the Spirit Control Technique, and there's not much information about it. I racked my brains to write these two chapters. I guess I'm just too weak. (Dejected)

After these two chapters, things should get better tomorrow.
