Nanako nodded thoughtfully and remarked in a hushed tone, “I believe I’ve uncovered the enigma of introspection. Just like the diving you mentioned earlier, I initially struggled to dive. The deeper I went, the more the water seemed to resist me, pushing me back toward the surface…”
“Exactly!” Aurora interjected eagerly, “It feels like being caught in a limbo where I can neither live nor die! I felt utterly tormented; how did you manage to endure it?” Nanako replied earnestly, “I put in a lot of effort at first as well.”
“I forced myself to dive down, but I failed every time. Eventually, I learned to calm my mind and imagine that my spiritual consciousness had separated from my body.”
Aurora gasped, “You mean to the highest point?!”<fn528e> Fresh chapters posted on Find?Novel</fn528e>
“Yes!” Nanako affirmed with determination and excitement, “It’s akin to climbing to the top of a steep cliff overlooking theke, then standing at the edge and letting your divine sense spread its arms wide as you leap off, free from distractions!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
As she continued, Nanako’s voice trembled with emotion, “I felt myself plummeting faster and faster, ignoring the roaring wind in my ears. I was solely focused onpleting this leap! It was as if a needle was falling from the sky and piercing into the water, with none of the previous resistance I had felt! In an instant, everything became crystal clear!”
“Huh?” Aurora was taken aback and eximed, “Nanako… did you really manage to leave your body?”
It wasn’t just Aurora who was astonished; Charlie was equally taken aback. Even after mastering the “Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures,” he had never encountered such a method of martial arts practice. It sounded both incredibly mysterious and deeply shocking!
“No…” Nanako rified, “It’s not about truly leaving the body; it’s about calming down your mind, letting go of physical sensations, and pretending that your consciousness has detached.”
Aurora looked puzzled and asked, “Is that even possible to imagine?”
“Absolutely!” Nanako asserted confidently. “It’s like peering within. I didn’t grasp it at first. The term ‘peeking’ implies seeing, and we only have one pair of eyes to observe the outside world. How could we possibly peer inside and see the meridians and dantian within our bodies? However, this morning, I suddenly realized an important truth. Internal peeking means separating your consciousness from your five senses. It’s about calming down, imagining that your consciousness has left your brain, eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and then diving into your body as if it were the depths of water. Once I discovered this method, my entire perception shifted!”
Aurora was left speechless for a moment, then clenched her fists and said excitedly, “I want to try your approach too!” Just then, Hong Changqing approached the two and said to Nanako, “I’ve observed that Ms. Ito seems to have truly grasped the concept of internal peeking and has also mastered theplete operation of true energy. Such rapid progress is something I’ve never witnessed in my life. Congrattions!”
Nanako responded respectfully, “It’s all thanks to Master Hong’s teachings!”
Hong Changqing waved his hand and said seriously, “Ms. Ito is indeed exceptionally talented! Not only has she quickly learned the technique of internal observation, but the three meridians in your body are nearly fully opened. Previously, you didn’t know how to circte your true qi, so opening your meridians was like a highway without any vehicles, failing to function effectively. However, now that you are able to circte your true qi, I believe that in a few days, Miss Ito will be able to utilize these three meridians and be a three-star martial artist! Such rapid progress is remarkable, and in time, Ms. Ito will undoubtedly be a top martial artist!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
