Hidden moth

Chapter 224: The Moth Wings

He Kao slapped his thigh and said, "Yeah, I should have thought of that earlier. I'll try it later!"

Based on the latest evolution of the Hidden Moth's power, Tani Tsubaki envisioned certain scenarios.

For example, He Kao stands still, extends his spiritual consciousness to one kilometer away, and then teleports there. Then he extends his spiritual consciousness to one kilometer away, and teleports there again... Repeating this process over and over again will achieve the effect of high-speed movement.

This speed could be very fast, even supersonic, but it wouldn't cause a sonic boom. This was because He Kao wasn't moving at all, but was teleporting continuously. How far he could travel per second depended on how many times he could teleport per second.

If he could teleport more than ten times per second, that would be equivalent to thirty times the speed of sound!

But in reality, this is difficult to achieve, because extending spiritual consciousness also consumes mana. The farther it extends, the greater the consumption. Casting spells continuously will be very tiring and you won't be able to persist for too long. It will be even more difficult to cast spells multiple times in a short period of time.

If He Kao was discovered during this process, his high-speed movement would be interrupted.

He Kao had indeed considered using the power of the Invisible Moth in this way, but to him, it wasn't very interesting or even fun. Why would he need to flash kilometer by kilometer? He could just teleport thousands of miles away!
However, He Kao hadn't anticipated another scenario that Gu Chun envisioned. Perhaps this was due to the limitations of his usual thinking. Since his spiritual awareness could extend beyond a kilometer, he could also teleport to a height of a thousand meters.

He Kao cannot fly and will fall from the sky, but he can continue to teleport in the first moment, teleport horizontally and diagonally upwards, expand his spiritual sense before falling, continue to teleport to the air a thousand meters away, and maintain his altitude.

By teleporting continuously like this, he would never fall down and could fly at high speed... This idea was really brilliant. What was even better was that his spiritual consciousness would not be blocked in the air, so he could find a deserted place and try it out.

Looking at He Kao's excitement, Gu Chun shook his head again and said, "There's nothing in the air to block you. You'll be easily spotted. Once you're spotted, you'll fall to your death. It's too dangerous."

He Kao pondered, "I can try it out somewhere where there's no one around. I'll also find time to learn skydiving. I'll wear a parachute when I try it out... the kind that opens with a simple pull. I've seen the parachute packs those wingsuit pilots carry on TV."

Gu Chun frowned and said, "If someone wants to harm you, you'll be no different from a sitting duck if you just hang an umbrella in the sky. Besides, flying in many places these days is not allowed. There are restrictions on drones, let alone living people.
You just mentioned wingsuit flying, and I've thought of a magical weapon that might be more suitable for you."

He Kao's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously leaned forward and asked, "What magic weapon?"

Gu Chun: "Last night, I fought with Fabre. He used a flying artifact called the Chui Tian Yu. It has some magical uses that are very suitable for your situation."

He Kao: "With my level of cultivation, I can't control a flying artifact, right?"

Gu Chun smiled slightly. "If it were in your hands, it wouldn't be able to fully utilize the magical power of the flying artifact. You would need to have at least a sixth-level cultivation level to use it. But for you, the Chui Tian Yu is not completely useless. As long as you can activate some of its magical powers..."

His voice, accompanied by divine thoughts, introduced the divine artifact Fabre used, the "Double Sky Feather." This artifact, passed down by the sect's founder, was reportedly once a possession of the Guanshen Sect, but its whereabouts remain unknown during the sect's internal turmoil a thousand years ago.

Flying artifacts also have other auxiliary uses, such as the cloud that Gu Chun carries with him. Its auxiliary use is to hide. Even if you use radar to scan, it is just a cloud and Gu Chun cannot be found.

The artifact Chuitianyu is quite special. In addition to flying, it can also spread out invisible wings, and even transform the flying feathers into wind blades to attack, and it can also fold the wings to protect itself.

Even without the power to fly, it was a powerful weapon capable of both attack and defense. If it weren't for this weapon, Fabre might have been knocked down from the clouds by Gu Chun last night.

If Chui Tianyu fell into He Kao's hands, he would not be able to fly, let alone unleash the full power of this artifact, and he would not even be able to fully refine and control it.

But after a rough ritual, he should be able to activate a magical effect, which is to unfold invisible wings. If he wants to make the wingspan larger and more powerful, he will need to cultivate a higher level of mana.

He Kao is not a bird, and even if he uses a magic weapon to spread a pair of invisible wings, it is impossible for him to flap and fly.

But there is one situation in which he might be able to use it, that is, when falling from a high altitude, he can spread his wings and glide, and even use the high-altitude air currents to maintain a stable flying posture.

But to do this, you need to master superb control skills through repeated practice. If He Kao wants to try it, he should also carry a parachute pack at the same time, in case of losing control of the posture or running out of mana, he can quickly open the parachute.

After listening to Elder Gu's introduction, He Kao rubbed his hands and said rather shyly, "That artifact, the Chui Tian Yu, isn't mine. It's still in Fabre's hands!"

Gu Chun: "After all this talk, I feel a little thirsty. Unfortunately, there is no good tea here."

Good tea? The rooms in this kind of express hotel don't even have tea! He Kao quickly stood up and called everyone, using his hidden moth ability to fetch the best tea he could get, and brought over a complete set of tea sets and bottled purified water.

After boiling water and making tea, he respectfully handed it to Elder Gu with both hands.

Gu Chun took the teacup, blew on it, and took a sip. Then he said with satisfaction, "The bad debts from a thousand years ago can no longer be settled. If everything is peaceful, the clan law hall will have no reason to take back Chui Tianyu.

But since Fabre is courting death, the Shumen will not be polite. They will kill him sooner or later and get Chui Tianyu back."

Having said that, he looked up at He Kao and said, "But even if I take back the Chui Tian Yu, there's no reason to give you this artifact to use."

He Kao was at a loss for words and said, "Then why are you saying so much? You've surprised me so much that even my heart is beating faster."

Gu Chun: "I just wanted to tease you. This is how young people should act. Don't act so old-fashioned... For now, forget about Chui Tianyu. But the Shu Sect still has a magic weapon, which can be said to be the most useless magic weapon in the Shu Sect in the past three hundred years."

The divine consciousness introduced another magical weapon, named Moth Wing, which sounded like it was crafted specifically for this purpose. There were records of this artifact within the Shu Sect, stating that it was an invisible weapon crafted by He Mufeng, the Grand Elder of the Ruwei Sect, three hundred years ago.

In today's terms, He Mufeng was a tech geek. He had been the head of the Ruwei Sect, and his greatest hobby was recreating legendary magic weapons from ancient texts.

He Mufeng created the moth wings after he resigned as the head of the sect. They were meant to imitate the legendary Chui Tian Yu. However, he had never seen the real Chui Tian Yu and could only guess based on the legend.

Although Elder He had a high level of cultivation, he was not able to create a divine weapon. What he finally made was an invisible weapon, and it had only one magical use, which was to spread invisible wings at his side.

The technology geeks in ancient times were also very imaginative. According to He Mufeng's idea, although they could not create a flying device, birds in the world could also fly with their wings.

If humans were equipped with wings and controlled them with magical powers, they should be able to fly, right?

Modern people should be aware that "flight control" is a very complex and sophisticated technology. Even the most advanced fighter jets cannot fly as flexibly and freely as birds.

This is an instinct for flying animals, but humans do not have this instinct. Even if warlocks are equipped with wings, they do not know how to fly.

After many attempts, He Mufeng realized that simply equipping a pair of wings like a bird wasn't enough. So, he learned from insects, ultimately creating a magical weapon capable of simultaneously deploying three pairs of invisible wings. Using an airplane analogy, in addition to the main wings, there are also canards in front and a tail fin at the rear. Due to the shape of the wings and their flexibility, the pilot resembles a giant moth when flying, hence the name "Moth Wing."

Unfortunately, even with the help of this magical weapon, high-level warlocks found it difficult to actually fly no matter how hard they used their magic power to vibrate their wings. Even if they could jump high for a while, they couldn't fly for long.

In short, this device is too difficult to control and consumes too much energy. It cannot fly high, far or fast.

When flying with a flying weapon, it is not as fast as running. The height is often enough to be hit by a stone. The spiritual power and magic power of a fourth-level cultivator can only fly about ten miles at most.

Therefore, this item is called by many the most useless magic weapon in the past three hundred years, yet Elder He has devoted immense energy and resources to it. However, it cannot be said to be completely useless; at least it represents a spirit of research.

Theoretically, it can work in one situation, that is, when falling from a high altitude. In reality, the best way to meet this condition is to find a high cliff, jump down, and then spread your moth wings.

With the help of the moth wings, people can avoid falling to their death. If the control skills are exquisite, they can even use the rising air currents at high altitudes to hover like a big bird.

Just kidding, this is a magic weapon specially used for jumping off cliffs. Many protagonists in legendary novels will definitely like it.

However, the magical use of moth wings is not 100% safe. If there are unexpected situations such as bad weather, flight control errors, and exhaustion of mana, it is possible that the moth will crash into a cliff or fall from the sky.

He Mufeng's weapon forging was just a hobby. After he created the moth wing, he had no use for it himself, so he gave it to his disciple Guo Gonglei. Later, Guo Gonglei had an accident while flying a weapon and accidentally fell and injured himself. He then put the moth wing away and never touched it again.

He Kao didn't know how to respond. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Then where is this magic weapon now?"

Gu Chun: "Zou Tianjin's master is Guo Qianhuai, who is still alive and serves as the Grand Elder of the Ruwei Sect. Guo Qianhuai is the great-great-grandson of Guo Gonglei, and the moth wing is in his hands... In fact, this senior Guo has quite a connection with you."

He Kao wondered, "With me?"

Gu Chun explained, "The beast claw pendant that Elder Jiang gave you was forged with the help of Senior Guo Qianhuai, as well as Elder Li Xiuyuan..."

In fact, both Jiang Daozhen and Li Xiuyuan mastered the magical power of refining weapons, but in terms of the level of refining weapons, of course, Guo Qianhuai, the supreme elder of Ruweimen, was more advanced.

Several elder-level masters worked together to refine the weapon, which shows that the origin of the pendant is not simple.

The reason it's so troublesome is mainly because the requirements for refining the weapon are somewhat special and difficult. It is for a three-year-old child to wear, and it takes a long time and a subtle way to play its passive magical role.

He Kao: "I see. If I get the chance, I must thank this Senior Guo!"

Gu Chun: "We rescued his direct disciple Zou Tianjin. I'll go back and help you get Moth Wing."

He Kao rubbed his hands again and said, "This, this, how can I be so embarrassed?"

Gu Chun: "Excuse me, let's talk about it after we get the things... I have something else I want to ask you. Do you know why the hidden moth can undergo such a transformation?"

He Kao said with some difficulty: "This is the ability of the hidden moth. It happens naturally as the realm of cultivation increases. I can't explain the reason clearly."

Gu Chun shook his head and said, "Perhaps you forgot one thing."

He Kao: "What did I forget?"

Gu Chun: "You advanced through practicing the Hidden Moth Technique, and since you are a Hidden Moth, you achieved it naturally. What if you were not a Hidden Moth, but just an ordinary disciple of the Hidden Moth Sect, what changes would you experience?"

This was a bit confusing, but He Kao understood it. Yin E's identity was actually the head of the Yin E Sect, who possessed the Yin E item and controlled the Piao Cai Dong Tian.

But the other disciples of the Yin E Sect did not have the ability to hide the moth. If they cultivated to a high level, the males were called Kong'er and the females were called Yinniang. The first thing Gu Chun wanted to ask was what methods Kong'er and Yinniang had?

Although the Yin'e Sect now has two prospective disciples, Lan Jiuwan and Ye Liangcheng, they have not yet mastered the Yin'e technique. Now the only real Yin'e Sect sorcerer is He Kao, who can also be called He Kong'er.

If He Kao didn't rely on the power of the Hidden Moth, what methods could he master with the Hidden Moth technique itself? Gu Chun's question became - if you strip away your identity as a Hidden Moth, who are you?
This kind of interrogation was very important, especially for Yin Mo, as it was also a necessary practice for him. If he didn't realize this in time, it would be difficult for him to make further progress in his cultivation.

He Kao: "Thank you for your reminder! I just broke through not long ago, and I haven't yet fully comprehended the fourth level of the Hidden Moth Technique. I've also been quite busy recently, so I'll study it carefully later."

Gu Chun: "Then go ahead and give it a try! Don't be lazy in your cultivation, but don't be impatient either. Just be at peace with your body and mind."

He Kao sat back down and asked, "Deacon Zou was injured, isn't it serious?"

Gu Chun: "Last time, I asked you to fetch a coral staff, and then refined it into several blood corals. This is the most suitable for healing, and I happened to give two to Zou Tianjin.

Zou Tianjin has already gone to Nanhua today. He will ask the palace steward to help with the treatment. He should be fine in ten days or half a month. By the way, what did you tell Lin Qingshuang?"

Injury and illness are two different concepts. Injury generally refers to damage caused by external forces, while illness generally refers to various abnormalities within the body. Once a Warlock reaches the second level, illness is rare, but injury is inevitable.

Blood coral is a magical medicine for healing wounds. Its main ingredient is coral staff, but it is much more precious than the original medicinal ingredient coral staff. Its main value lies in the merit of ritual refining.

Gu Chun specifically asked He Kao to get him a coral staff and refine it into several blood corals, probably to prevent accidents.

He Kao replied, "Senior Lin knew this was what you wanted, so she didn't complain at all. She told me to put it on the account first and return it to her later. If I can't pay it back, I can do something for her... May I ask if you have any other instructions?"

Gu Chun: "There's nothing for you to do now, but don't leave in a hurry. Find a place outside to watch the fun. I'll call the police first."

He Kao asked in surprise: "Call the police?"

Gu Chun pointed to the miniature camera on the TV cabinet and said, "If I find this thing in the room, wouldn't it be normal for me to call the police?"
