Atlas of Heaven and Man

After listening to Teacher Xue's words, Chen Chuan glanced at the bowl of living water and saw that as his gaze swept over it, slight ripples appeared on the surface of the water.

He tried to restrain his own field, but found it had no effect. He then tried to change the field, but the result was still the same.

He couldn't help but ponder a solution.

He remembered that when Teacher Xue had held the bowl of living water in front of him, there had been no ripples at all.

Teacher Xue had specifically asked him to use his field to sense it, and it was probably this action that had made the bowl of living water feel some kind of stimulation, thus creating hostility and vigilance towards him.

In other words, the bowl of water had "remembered" him.

This may have formed some kind of spiritual connection, which would not be easy to eliminate. Perhaps as long as he himself was here, it would be difficult to accomplish this.

In fact, if he only wanted to achieve the result, the simplest method would be to directly use his second self to shield external disturbances. Then, the living water should not be able to detect his existence, and he could pass the test in an instant.

However, he was trying to learn how to control his God of Self, and doing so would not help him develop his skills at all. It was not a life-or-death battle, so there was no need to do that.

So he slowly gathered his thoughts. This step was not too difficult, after all, practicing the breathing technique required concentration and stillness, which in itself required control over the spirit.

Moreover, there was a reference object in front of him, and he could see at a glance whether he had done it right.

However, after trying, he found that it was not very effective. The ripples that had appeared did become slightly weaker, but they did not disappear as a result.

He was very sure that, lacking the necessary skills, even if he continued to try, he could not do his best. Perhaps giving him a few days would allow him to weaken it a bit more, but relying solely on this would never break the spiritual connection between the two.

He thought about it again. Teacher Xue had said to restrain his own thoughts, and it seemed that he only needed to follow this path. However, he felt that it was probably not that simple.

Teacher Xue's words seemed very casual, and he looked very easygoing, but in fact, there were pitfalls hidden in his words. If he followed his words completely, he would definitely fall into his predetermined trap. Having suffered once, he could not make the same mistake again.

After careful consideration, he believed that simply restraining his thoughts was only one aspect, and there should be other things to pay attention to.

Teacher Xue had specifically mentioned field techniques, which could not be useless.

Changing the field was also a way to use spiritual power, and if the field change was not working, it might be because the field was expressing too much information. Perhaps only by trying to eliminate other expressions and focusing solely on the spirit, and then making similar changes to the restrained spirit, could he accomplish this.

But he vaguely felt that there seemed to be other ways.

Teacher Xue smiled at this time. In fact, Chen Chuan was already barely qualified at this step, because he only asked Chen Chuan to make the ripples disappear, but he did not say how long to maintain it. Even if it was only for a moment, it was still acceptable.

But seeing that Chen Chuan seemed to want to continue, he would wait and see what this student could do.

Chen Chuan thought about it and felt that since he couldn't restrain it, he might as well not restrain it. He didn't need to deliberately maintain a single state.

Referring to the field changes, he could try to constantly change the appearance of his spirit, and change it enough so that the bowl of living water would not feel his presence. Then he would be a "stranger."

How does a stranger change? Then it will not trigger its reaction.

Thinking of this, he immediately began to try, and gradually corrected himself in the process.

Some things in the world are difficult because you don't know where you are wrong, and where to work hard. Having this thing in front of you is equivalent to pointing out the direction, so you should make good use of it.

So Teacher Xue saw that the ripples on the surface of the bowl of living water kept rippling, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, but sometimes they would disappear for a while.

After repeating this many times, when it was almost an hour, it finally stopped completely, and maintained it until the end of the time.

Teacher Xue laughed, looked at Chen Chuan, and said: "Student Chen, you have met the requirements within an hour, well done. Especially since you are not sticking to the rules and actively looking for solutions, which is very good."

What he likes most is this kind of student, who has mastered all kinds of necessary abilities in advance, has everything he should have, and can find a way out according to his little hint, instead of stubbornly sticking to it, which makes teaching very comfortable.

He continued, "Student Chen, you should have noticed that the spirit itself is active and flowing, and it is very difficult to control. Even if you can restrain the core part of yourself, you can't collect all the scattered parts. Instead, it is relatively easy to promote its changes."

Chen Chuan nodded.

Teacher Xue said: "This is difficult to avoid, because as long as a person is alive, the spirit has this kind of activity. However, if you want to go up, you must condense the spirit.

The more condensed the spirit, the more tenacious it is, and only then can it have power. Just as scattered water currents cannot become a climate if they do not converge into a vast ocean. Now I will teach you the skills.

The first step is called 'Settling the Mind', which is to settle your own mind.

It is difficult to express spiritual skills verbally, so I will use a method to help you feel it intuitively.

Well, it's not using field techniques. Using this method to convey spiritual skills is not appropriate, because the information is too mixed and not pure enough, which will produce some unnecessary interference, and sometimes the spirit will be polluted. So we can use another method."

He stretched out a hand and said solemnly: "Student Chen, grab my wrist."

Chen Chuan did as he was told and reached out his hand. The moment he grasped Teacher Xue's wrist, he felt a sudden sense of floating in his body, as if his entire consciousness had separated from his body. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and everything related to his senses seemed to disappear, as if he was immersed in a void.

At this time, he heard Teacher Xue say: "Let me demonstrate it to you."

In fact, Teacher Xue did not say this sentence, nor did he hear it, but it directly echoed from his spiritual consciousness.

"To settle, you must first be still. The first step is to open the void and guard the emptiness; your thoughts are numerous and jump like monkeys. It is difficult to catch them one by one, but when they are quiet, you can easily bind them one by one. Therefore, this saying is also called 'Binding the Mind Monkey'.

When this step is completed, it is not all smooth sailing, because the Mind Monkey may break free, so you need to focus your intention on one thing and observe an object, using it to guard the initial thought."

As this voice echoed, he suddenly saw a bright light appearing in the void, like a jade, which seemed to attract all his mind as soon as it appeared, without asking about anything else.

The voice continued to sound, "When your spirit gathers, your thoughts, knowledge, past memories, and temperament will all be bound and solidified into a group, making it impossible for people to invade from the outside.

However, if this spirit collapses, a person may lose himself, and at best be a walking corpse. The danger of spiritual offense and defense is no less than physical combat, and in some places it is even worse.

Therefore, after a long guard, you also need to repeatedly temper, and over time, you can quench the impurities and purely leave the essence, and become like a crystal, a bright jade."

As these words were spoken, Chen Chuan saw that the jade became more and more clear and transparent, bright and brilliant, as if everything around it was illuminated by it.

At this time, he only felt a shock all over his body, and he broke away from this state. He seemed to fall straight down from the clouds, and his consciousness returned to his body again. Then, all kinds of thoughts and miscellaneous thoughts poured out from all corners, creating an extremely strong contrast. It took a while to return to normal.

Teacher Xue waited for his thoughts to settle, then smiled and said: "This time I will guide you here. It's not that the teacher is unwilling to continue, this kind of guidance is also attracting your spirit. Although it is relatively gentle, it is difficult for people who have never tempered their spirit to persist for a long time.

If you continue, you will inevitably consume your divine essence. If the divine essence is exhausted, it will not stop, but will extend from this and continue to consume your vitality and essence. If you still do not break free, you will exhaust your entire life, until you fall into destruction."

Chen Chuan understood and nodded. However, with Teacher Xue's mention, he also understood the reason for Cheng Shengbai's death that day.

The other party should have purely launched a desperate attack with his spirit. But if he does not kill the enemy's spirit in this way, then he will turn around and shatter himself to death, which can be said to be very extreme.

Teacher Xue said: "I have already told you how to do the 'Settling the Mind Method'. After you have initially mastered this, I will guide you to the next step of 'Refining the Method'."
