Hidden Moth

Chapter 68: Hidden Moth Sect's Skill Set


Before the initiation of the Insect Concealment Skill, the cultivation technique and heart method are called "Nihility," also known as "Nihility View," which was previously fiddled together by He Kao and named by himself as the "Hidden Moth Temple."

Note, this is "Nihility," not "No Self." Because "No Self" is a realm that cultivators, before initiation, cannot achieve. Only when breaking through from Tier Six Perfection to Tier Seven can it be verified.

Despite this, it's too difficult for non-initiates to start cultivating this Observation Method. Therefore, twelve hundred years ago, there were very few sorcerers in the Hidden Moth Sect, basically not exceeding double digits in the same era.

The world naturally has other, more convenient pathways, so why suffer unnecessarily? It's like climbing a peak; there is a built path and a winding trail, so why traverse the sheer cliffs and precipitous paths.

The ability to enter the realm with the Nihility View signifies the initiation into the Insect Concealment Skill.

The state He Kao entered after passing through the portal was something ordinary people cannot adapt to. Without undergoing special training, which means the foundational cultivation of Nihility View, from a consciousness level, one cannot comprehend and accept it.

Yet, human consciousness is inherently powerful. In such a situation, it will spontaneously fill in "contents," as if creating something out of nothing, like a true dream unfolding.

In the past, Huang Xiaopang's father, Huang Cankui, left the portal at Xiaopang's bedroom door, overlapping with his bedroom door, so every day Huang Xiaopang passed through the portal, he arrived at his own living room.

A month after the Hidden Moth inheritance ceremony, Huang Xiaopang finally opened the portal. He couldn't stay in the realm He Kao could experience. The inertia of his next step in consciousness naturally unfolded, and the scene beyond the portal presented was his own living room.

Huang Xiaopang didn't do it deliberately, but it was almost an inevitable suggestion.

Huang Xiaopang had long heard from his father about how the ability of the Hidden Moth could be operated; for example, he could open another door to go to a place he had been to and could remember.

So he opened the living room door again, arriving at the backyard of He Kao's aunt's house. At the time, it was late September, the weather in Qi Yuan was still quite hot, and many people would take a bath daily.

He Kao's aunt and uncle were still running their business at the shop, and around this point, He Shan would come home from school. After coming home, she would generally take a bath first. Xiaopang, as if guided by a spirit, opened the door and sneaked here...

Later, Xiaopang, according to his habits, figured out a method of using the Hidden Moth Space, which is to open the portal at the entrance of a room, overlapping with the door in reality, entering the Hidden Moth Space through the open portal, which then becomes just like the room in reality.

For example, the earliest Hidden Moth Space was his home's living room, later changing the door direction to become his own bedroom... and then it was his rented apartment later on.

In this space, there is usually another door; for instance, apart from the main door of the apartment, there is the bathroom door. When he opens another portal, he also tends to align it with existing doors in the space.

For example, the Hidden Moth Space Xiaopang opened had his apartment, where he opened the bathroom door, possibly leading to the shooting entertainment hall in the Sawa Country in reality.

What if there is only one door in this space?

That's alright; it's not a must. You can even draw a door in the void. According to Xiaopang's habit, he needed to find a door existing in the space, so using a wardrobe door also works.

That's why Xiaopang left a suspense for He Kao, letting He Kao explore by himself, as he didn't know what the Hidden Moth Space generated when He Kao opened the portal for the first time would be like either.

It likely won't be his living room; it's more likely to be that secret chamber.

Actually, Xiaopang also had a chance to obtain the Insect Concealment Skill's inheritance; it was in that moment when he opened the portal. If he could attain the realm required by Nihility View, he would have the opportunity to remain in the same state as He Kao...

But missing the opportunity is just missing it; his father and He Kao's father both missed it in the past.

He Kao doesn't clearly know what the Hidden Moth Space operated by Huang Xiaopang actually was, but he now roughly understands what Huang Xiaopang might have experienced after entering the portal.

In such circumstances, Huang Xiaopang can still become the Hidden Moth, or rather, he still is the Hidden Moth.

Cultivating the Insect Concealment Skill doesn't necessarily make one the Hidden Moth; that's just the sorcerers of the Hidden Moth Sect, theoretically, there can be many people, like the Tier One Sorcerers of the Hidden Moth Sect, who are anciently referred to as Stalkers.

As for Tier Two, Tier Three, and sorcerers of higher realms, He Kao still doesn't know nowadays, because he hasn't comprehended the second layer of the Insect Concealment Skill Technique, nor has he heard of any news concerning the Hidden Moth Sect in reality.

The so-called Hidden Moth merely refers to the person mastering this wondrous portal, which theoretically is unrelated to whether the person has cultivated the Insect Concealment Skill. The ability of the Hidden Moth is not human ability, nor the technique ability of a cultivator, but the mystical nature of this portal itself.

Since ancient times, many have speculated that the ability of the Hidden Moth is the wondrous use of the hidden moth object, this divine artifact, which is roughly correct.

Opening this portal in place to come and go consumes the divine qi cultivated by the technique, also regular people's physical strength and energy. As long as the frequency is not too high and done moderately, taking regular rest and nourishment can still recover it.

But if, like Huang Xiaopang, you open another portal to traverse space, it consumes primordial qi, which for ordinary people is equivalent to burning life, with general nourishing methods hardly recovering it.

Even with moderation, it's just consuming a bit slower, with specific results varying from person to person, as each person's innate constitution is different. So nutritional replenishment, although not decisive, has some utility.
