Chapter 795: Three Paths, Only the Upper One
On the fourth day after returning from the fusion area, Chen Chuan took a special car and came to the Shutianxia Hotel. Today he had an appointment with his team members and old friends and classmates to have dinner here.
He had been here many times before. This time, the hotel's general manager came out to greet him personally, and this time he was given a luxurious box on the top floor, which was enough to overlook most of the central city.
When he reached the top floor, everyone was already there. Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque stood up immediately upon seeing him and saluted him, "Captain!"
Seeing this, the others also saluted and then spoke up to greet him.
Chen Chuan returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Today we are just having a meal, not carrying out a mission outside, so everyone just relax." He walked to the dining table and sat down. After they ordered the dishes, they started chatting.
Wei Changan couldn't help but ask, "Junior, we all saw the conflict that day. They all said you've broken through the third limit? Is that true?"
Everyone at the table looked over. This question was actually asked by Wei Changan on their behalf, and they also wanted to know the answer.
Although the destructive power displayed by Chen Chuan that day was far beyond the scope of a normal fighter, due to the conflict in the field, some places were really unclear, and they could only guess.
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's right. I've already reached the fourth level, which, in today's common parlance, means I'm a martial artist."
"Fighter..."
After hearing this, everyone was extremely excited.
Especially Wei Changan, Wu Han, Feng Xiaoqi, Luo Kaiyuan and others from Wuyi. In their cognition, being able to become a third-level fighter is already an absolute big shot. Not only will they automatically obtain the status of a central city citizen, but they will also hold important positions in government and corporate departments.
For those who came from Yangzhi, this was already a remarkable achievement. Most of the fighters they had seen would find it difficult to reach the third limit in their entire lives, so it was really hard to imagine what it would be like to reach the fourth limit.
Wu Han said excitedly, "I saw that day when Junior Brother Chen destroyed that large airship. Is that the power of the fourth limit?"
Chen Chuan nodded and said, "That's 'Hua Yi Zhenli,' also called 'Spiritual Fire.' In fact, at the end of the third level, one is able to master a small amount of this power."
Yuan Qiyuan couldn't help but speak up: "Captain, I saw you blocking the airship's machine gun fire the other day. Is that the same kind of strength?"
Chen Chuanshuo said, "That's not it. It's actually a bio-field. We all have a bio-field. Most people have a weaker bio-field, but fighters become very obvious after reaching the third level."
As he spoke, everyone suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then they were shocked to see that the scattered objects around them were floating up out of thin air. This scene shocked them greatly.
Although Chen Chuan's performance on the screen that day was even more exaggerated, it was completely different now that I saw it in person.
At this moment, they also felt the seemingly extremely oppressive force, which made them feel that breathing was a little difficult, and they began to adjust their breathing involuntarily.
Chen Chuan looked at everyone. He certainly did this not just to demonstrate the power of the field, but he discovered that some strong biological fields would cause greater stimulation to the fighters' spirits and alienated organizations.
Fighters who have come into close contact with this kind of power, unless their spirit is worn down, will most likely find it easier to break through in the future.
This is because they have seen it before and know clearly that this path is feasible, and under the oppression of external forces, the alienated organization will instinctively improve. This is actually the same reason why he sought stimulation from higher-level forces before breaking through.
However, this method is not suitable for everyone, nor can it be stimulated without scruples. That is to say, everyone present can be considered elite, so he showed it in this way. If it were an ordinary fighter, he might become discouraged and no longer have the courage to climb up.
To put it bluntly, this kind of stimulation will only work if you have enough talent, will and the desire to move forward. If you don't have these, it won't have much effect.
After a moment, he retracted the field, and everyone felt relieved. They couldn't help but look at each other in their chairs. That moment just now gave them a more intuitive understanding of the fighter's power, and everyone seemed to have vaguely felt something, but they couldn't grasp it or touch it for a while.
At this time, the food started to be served outside. The waiter pushed the dining cart in and brought out the dishes one by one. Chen Chuan smiled and said, "Eat first."
Wu Han agreed and said, "Yes, eat first, and we'll talk about it later."
While eating, Chen Chuan mentioned that he and the Government Affairs Office had confirmed that they could grant citizenship to everyone.
My aunt's family could have obtained this status as early as when he was the head of the investigation, so they didn't need this quota. Therefore, the ten quotas were enough to include Wu Han, Feng Xiaoqi, Luo Kaiyuan, Wei Changan, Cai Si, Ding Liao and others.
As for Lu Fang, it seems that he may not need this quota, because with his drug support, Lu Fang is very likely to reach the third limit within the next two years, so that he may be able to obtain citizenship on his own.
After hearing the news, everyone was very happy. Working in the central city with or without the citizenship is two completely different things. Without this identity, even daily travel will be subject to certain restrictions and you will not be able to enjoy various conveniences.
Before, it was because they joined Chen Chuan's team and were considered temporary employees of the processing bureau that things were a little more convenient, but after all, this could not be compared with people with formal citizen status.
After the meal, seeing that the discussion was almost complete, Chen Chuan was about to leave with everyone else. However, at this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart. He paused and said to his teammates and classmates and old friends, "You go first."
Everyone thought that he must have something else to do, so after saying hello to him, they left first.
Soon he was the only one left in the huge box. He poured himself a cup of hot drink and placed it on the table opposite. Xue Shou appeared on the empty seat at some point.
Chen Chuan greeted him and said, "Teacher Xue is back? Is the matter at the fusion land over?"
Xue Shou smiled and said, "Principal Yao and the other two are enough. Besides, the news of your becoming a martial artist should have reached the old imperial family. If they want to deal with us, they will have to mobilize at least twice as many people as us. Let's not talk about whether they can do it. Even if they can, we can't miss the mobilization of so many martial artists."
Chen Chuan nodded. Because of their destructive power, almost every fighter was under great scrutiny. Without careful planning and arrangement, they could not be easily gathered together. Now they must be on high alert. Any movement would be discovered. If anything happened, it would be a matter for the future.
He asked, "Teacher Xue, now that the mission is complete, are you going back?"
Xue Shou said: "Wait a little longer, after all, I am here to target the fighter from the Linax diplomatic team. If the people from the Linax Federation don't leave, I won't leave either.
Well, they'll probably be heading to the capital in early November, and I'll go with them. I'll stay here for the next few days. Now that you've become a martial artist, do you want to transfer out of Jibei Road Central City, or stay here for now?"
Chen Chuan said: "I still have some things to do, so I want to stay here first."
Xue Shou smiled and said, "In that case, I will tell the relevant personnel about your wishes. Well, is there anything else you don't understand that you would like to ask me?"
Chen Chuan asked, "Teacher Xue, I would like to ask you for advice on how to proceed on the path of cultivation."
Xue Shou looked at him and said, "In the fourth limit, there are three paths to choose from. You may have already understood. In fact, I originally hoped that you would take the path of 'God's Aspect', but..."
He looked at Chen Chuan, "Do you still remember a question I asked you before?"
Chen Chuan thought for a moment, then looked up at him. "Teacher Xue, are you referring to that time when you asked me whether the spirit could exist apart from the body?"
"Yes, that's the problem."
Xue Shou said, "Your answer at the time was that the two are one, neither of them can exist without the other. Although this was only your understanding at the time, you had actually already made a choice. This answer is your own understanding and explanation of spiritual practice, which is that both are required."
He said slowly, "And this path actually aligns with the principle of 'human appearance'."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chuan looked towards Teacher Xue and said solemnly, "Teacher Xue, the path of 'human appearance' is indeed exactly what I have in mind."
Xue Shou nodded and said, "It's true, but..." He sighed and said, "But this road is not easy to walk on. It can be said to be the most difficult of the three roads.
When the 'divine aspect' is practiced to a deep level, the shadow becomes the body, without being restricted by form, and the body can be discarded and replaced at will. As for the 'strange aspect', one can visualize all kinds of differences and comprehend the wonderful principles. When practiced to the extreme, one looks like a god or an immortal.
The former requires an extraordinary spirit, while the latter requires a strong body.
To achieve the 'human form', both the spirit and the body must be elevated, yet it is notoriously difficult to cultivate. However, only the human form best aligns with the six key principles of the 'carrying the mysteries' realm: 'maintaining true form, gathering spiritual form.'
He said seriously, "I'm not good at this kind of cultivation, so I don't know how to teach you. But fortunately, things are different now than they were in the old days. As long as you're qualified to practice, there are no secrets about the cultivation methods. You can submit an application to Wuyi General Hospital. Speaking of which, I do know someone who's quite good at this. If I see him later, I'll ask him a few questions for you."
