The Ultimate Fire Master of Avatar

Chapter 91 The Interview, the Secret, and the Path to Cultivating the Mind

Master Gurubask was thin and had dark skin. Although he had no hair, he had a thick, white beard, making him look like a high-ranking monk from his hometown in India.

Although he is now over a hundred years old, his eyes are still clear, he is in good spirits, and his smile gives people a friendly and humorous feeling.

He must be Master Gurubask.

However, his greeting made Kahn's heart jump.

Despite having many doubts and concerns, Kahn first introduced himself:

"Greetings, Master. My name is Kahn. I have come here to learn the art of spirit control from you."

You just said I'm a "special spirit master," why did you say that?

"Hmm, very polite child. My name is Gurupask, and I am happy to offer you some assistance. And there are four distinguished guests, ancient deities; it is a pleasure to meet you."

The gods chirped in response from all directions, and the old man before them also gave them a sense of warmth, which did not frighten the spirits.

As for why I call you that...

Gurupas smiled, then pulled out a bowl of unidentified liquid from behind him and handed it to Kahn, saying:

"Drink this before you hear the story; it will help calm your inner turmoil."

Kahn took the bowl with both hands, and as soon as he brought it close to his nose, he smelled a pungent odor. He immediately moved it away, his expression strange, and said:

"What is this? I think I smell onions and bananas."

"Of course, it's actually just a bowl of onion and banana juice. Trust me, it's definitely a great partner for spirit masters."

As he said this, Gurupask drank a large bowl of the liquor right in front of him, and after finishing it, he smacked his lips with obvious enjoyment, as if it really was delicious.

"."

Seeing this, Kahn, though still suspicious, had no choice but to force himself to drink it. The strange taste almost made him vomit on the spot.

"vomit!"

The strange taste lingered in his mouth for a long time. His original tension and pressure did indeed dissipate a lot, but in its place, a feeling of nausea lingered in his mind.

"Congratulations on taking your first step in the cultivation of a Spirit Master!"

Gurupas blinked, looking like a mischievous old man.

Kahn wiped his mouth clean and said helplessly:

"Thank you. But I hope it actually works and isn't just a prank."

"Of course not, I believe you will gradually come to appreciate its beauty."

Gurubask smiled, and then finally got back to the main topic.

"I noticed you a long time ago, or rather, about three or four years ago."

Just that one sentence made Kahn tense up. Three or four years ago was the time when he had just traveled through time.

"Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not the kind of person who likes to peek around. Although there was a time when I did. It's just that I thought Avatar had awakened, so I looked over there and that's when I saw you."

"Clearly, I misjudged you. But you and Avatar are indeed very similar; you both possess a special soul."

Avatar is the combination of Vander and Lava, and he is now also a combination of two souls, so in this respect there are indeed similarities.

These few words had already revealed most of Kahn's secret. He felt a mix of emotions. Although he had anticipated the worst-case scenario, his thoughts were still in a mess when he actually faced this moment.

After a long silence, Kahn asked with a complicated expression:

"So, you've been spying on me ever since? Watching my every move?"

"Surveillance? No, no, of course not."

Gurupask shook his head and said:

"In fact, after realizing that you were not the Avatar, I stopped paying attention to you until now, when you have come to me on your own initiative."

Kahn was highly skeptical of this explanation.

"Since you know I'm special, how could you so easily..."

"Don't get stuck in a fixed mindset, as this will narrow your thinking."

Gurupas interrupted Kahn, then laughed:

"Of course you are special, unique, but so what? What does it have to do with me?"

Kahn calmed down a bit after hearing this; he had thought about these issues before as well.

"Masters, gods, Avatars. There are too many special beings in this world, and many of them can determine the future of the world, such as Avatars, Vato the Dark God, and Tortoisemon."

"Compared to them, what does your specialness amount to?"

"Furthermore, every deity, every person, every animal, even every plant and tree is a unique and special being. What difference is there between you and them?"

"If I had to pay attention to every single one of these special beings, I wouldn't be able to keep up."

Hearing this, Kahn completely calmed down. It was indeed as Gurupask had said, and he had already thought it through before. So what was there to be afraid of now?

He was just a little impatient for a moment.

Then, Gurupaske suddenly changed the subject and asked with a smile:

"But since you know of my existence, you should also be aware of my abilities, and you understand your own uniqueness. If that's the case, why are you still willing to come before me?"

Having figured out the underlying logic, Kahn answered the question with neither arrogance nor servility:

"I understand my special characteristics, but I don't know the reason why. However, I have a clear conscience about my words and actions and never regret them, so I have nothing to be afraid of."

He paused for a moment, then honestly confessed:

"Okay. Actually, I was a little afraid that you would use this as a reason to threaten me, so before I came, I confided my secret to a friend, but it turns out there's nothing special about it."

"Did you voluntarily share your deepest fear of being known with a friend?"

Upon hearing this, Gurupask was somewhat surprised, and then praised:

"To be honest, that's quite an achievement, and based on that alone, I'm convinced you're well-suited to be a Spirit Master."

Kahn suspected this was a veiled insult, since even he himself found the behavior somewhat foolish.

"No, no, no, being able to bravely confess one's secrets is truly a remarkable act."

But Gurubask sighed sincerely, and then explained:

"We Spirit Masters emphasize the cultivation of our own minds and the openness of our thoughts. If you have any secrets that you dare not tell, it will become a knot in your heart and undoubtedly an obstacle in the cultivation of your mind and thoughts."

"I had a disciple before who liked to keep everything to himself and didn't easily reveal it to others. Therefore, although he had the talent for spirit control, he was never able to make any further progress."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh, as if he were feeling sorry for that person.

"."

Kahn felt that the person sounded somewhat familiar, as if he knew someone.
