Chapter 189 Path Finder Ikasa?

The dinner with his top executives was very informative for Ikasa. The shock on Chu Kuang and Yin Ying's faces was unforgettable.

Their reaction was flattering and yet it also alerted Ikasa to possible dangers.

He could not rely on just the words of a younger generation leader of the Nian Clan; Ikasa himself had to make some preparations too.

'I have the insurance from the Zhen Family. It is good as long as no one reads it into detail.'

Ikasa said taking out the contract between himself and Zhen Wu.

The contract clearly stated that any attack on Ikasa or his subordinates would be perceived as an attack on the Zhen family.

Nowhere was it stated that the Zhen Family was bound to retaliate against the attacker.

Ikasa had cleverly hidden the lower half of the contract when He Ding visited with ill intentions. Combined with Path Finder Zhen Ya taking action, the He Family fell for his bluff.

Had He Ding read the guarantee contract in full and carefully, today the He's would not be his most valuable partners but the biggest threat.

'I cannot rely on this piece of paper for too long.'

Ikasa thought as he carefully rolled the contract and put it in his storage space.

'I do not have to worry about the He Family for now since they have tasted the sweetness of cooperating with me but the same cannot be said for other powers.'

The recent enemies he had made came to his mind. The Su Family and the Mu Family.

The prestige of the Zhen Family name would not be enough to protect him if the Mu Family got wind of his crime in the Planar Rift.

They were so belligerent that instead of protecting the Zhen Family itself would present his head on the platter to the Mu's!

'If only I could find a way to borrow Mu Family's name…'

Ikasa sighed in his heart.

Having experienced the terror people held towards those surnamed Mu, Ikasa realized that there could be no better protection than the surname of Mu.

However, it also had its downsides.

Many people would be reluctant to deal with him. The positive image he had built of GHBG would also crumble in an instant.

'I guess there is no way I can keep relying on others' names to protect my business.'

Ikasa thought while connecting to the printer. He quickly toggled to the Cultivation Page and gazed at his nearly full Pentagram.

His Spiritual Sense was at 96 and all his physical senses had reached 50/50.

'If I get a good Chakra Sensing Realm Manual, I can advance to the Chakra Sensing Realm today itself!'

This was his last thought as Ikasa added the remaining 4 points to his Spiritual Sense, completely lighting up the Star formed in his Pentagram.

His vision darkened as a life-sized soul form of himself appeared in his mind.

Ikasa felt as if he was seeing a picture of the cosmos as numerous red and blue galaxies spun behind the Spiritual Body, far in the distance.

Then something shocking happened before his eyes.

The humongous spinning galaxies shrunk until they were just a speck of light and they disappeared into his soul form. As each dot of light disappeared into his body, a sparkling dot formed inside the white outline of his soul.

The size of the soul also grew with every new dot of light added to his body. The white outline became so big that he could not see the head of the soul form despite looking upwards!

The process gradually came to a stop. Ikasa moved backward until his eyes could see the white outline in its entirety.

The entire body of the soul form was covered with twinkling light dots like a starry night sky. Of the numerous shining light dots, seven stood out.

They were bigger and brighter than the rest. Strangely, these seven dots were aligned in a straight line along the vertebral column of his soul form.

The brightest speck of light was located at the forehead of the Spiritual Body. Ikasa spotted the second brightest to be between the nose and the mouth.

The third light spot was near the end of the throat and the fourth was at the solar plexus.

The fifth, sixth and seventh lights were located along his stomach, belly button, and his groin.

"These lights represent Chakras!"

Ikasa had an instinctive realization. When he counted the total number of the bright dots on his body, he found they were exactly hundred and twenty-one!

This confirmed his guess as there were a hundred and fourteen minor chakras and seven major chakras in any Spiritual Body.

As Ikasa looked at the scattered dots of lights, he realized the meaning of Path Finding. He had to connect as many as these miniature galaxies in a single stroke and form a coherent energy circulation cycle.

This differed vastly from the Path Forging realm.

During the Path Forging realm, he could focus on only a small portion of the body during exercise and let energy cleanse it. Even if Energy traveled twice on the same path during two different exercises, there was no issue.

However, during Chakra Sensing Realm, he had to make sure that the Energy would not pass on the same route twice while connecting the chakras.

It was strictly to be a one-way route or it may cause him to fall into cultivation deviation.

Even so, Ikasa's condition was much better as he could see the locations of Chakras clearly.

Other Path Finders had to sense the approximate locations of chakras before they could start weaving them into a coherent energy circulation path.

This was the main reason why this realm was known as the Chakra Sensing Realm.

The humongous figure gradually shrunk and Ikasa returned to the Cultivation Screen of his user interface.

The 121 light dots were clearly marked on a humanoid outline on the Cultivation page of the User Interface.

The brightest of the chakra required 40 points to be marked on the path. 35 points for the second of the brightest chakras, 30 for the third, 25 for the fourth, and so on.

Each minor chakra needed 5 points to be marked.

Below the humanoid figure, the total number of points required for the Chakra Sensing realm was shown.

0/745.

Ikasa became excited as the meaning of this development sunk in.

He had advanced to Chakra Sensing Realm without a Cultivation Manual!
