Hidden moth

Chapter 68: Hidden Moth Sect's Skill Pack
The skills and techniques before learning the art of Hidden Eth are called "I Have Nothingness", also known as "I Have Nothingness View", which is the "Hidden Eth View" that He Kao had tinkered with before and named it by himself.

Please note that this is "I have nothing" rather than "no self". This is because "no self" is a state that practitioners who have not yet entered the door cannot reach at all. It can only be achieved after completing the sixth level and breaking through to the seventh level.

Even so, it would be too difficult for a beginner to start practicing this method. Therefore, twelve hundred years ago, there were very few sorcerers in the Yin Mo Sect, and the number of sorcerers in the same era rarely exceeded two dozen.

There are other, easier ways to get there, so why bother yourself with hardship? It's like climbing a mountain. There are well-maintained paths and narrow paths, so why bother climbing the cliffs and bird paths?

My ability to enter without any observation means that I have entered the art of invisibility.

Ordinary people cannot adapt to the state after He Kao entered the portal. If they have not undergone special training, which is the foundation of my Wuguan practice, they will not be able to understand and accept it at the conscious level.

But human consciousness itself has very powerful functions. In this case, it will spontaneously fill in the "content", as if creating something out of nothing, and unfolding like a real dream.

At that time, Huang Xiaopang's father Huang Cankui left a door at the door of Xiaopang's bedroom, which overlapped with his bedroom door. Huang Xiaopang would pass through the door every day and arrive at his own living room.

One month after the Hidden Moth inheritance ceremony, Huang Xiaopang finally opened the portal. He could not stay in the artistic conception that He Kao could understand. The inertia of his consciousness naturally unfolded in the next step, and the scene behind the portal was his own living room.

Huang Xiaopang didn't do it on purpose, but it was almost an inevitable implication.

Huang Xiaopang had heard from his father a long time ago how the power of the invisible moth could be used. For example, he could open another door and go to a place he had been to and remembered.

So he opened the living room door again and came to the backyard of He Kao's aunt's house. It was the end of September, and the weather in Qiyuan was still quite hot. Many people took a bath every day.

He Kao's aunt and uncle were still working in the shop. He Shan usually came home from school at this time and usually took a shower first. Xiaopang opened the door and sneaked in here...

Later, Xiaopang figured out a way to use the Hidden Moth Space according to his own habits. That is, he opened a portal at the entrance of a room, overlapping with the real door. The Hidden Moth Space entered through the portal was the same as a real room.

For example, the Yin Moth Space was originally his living room, and later the door was changed to another direction to become his own bedroom... and later it became the apartment he rented.

There is usually another door in this space, such as an apartment with a bathroom door in addition to the main door. When he opens another door, he is also accustomed to overlapping with the existing doors in the space.

For example, the hidden moth space that Xiaopang once opened had his own apartment. He opened the bathroom door there and might have gone to the real Sawa Shooting Entertainment Hall.

What if there is only one door in this space?
That doesn't matter, it's not necessary. You can also draw a door in the void. According to Xiaopang's habit, he needs to find a door that exists in the space, so using the wardrobe door will also work.

That's why Xiaopang left a suspense for He Kao and let He Kao explore it by himself, because he didn't know what the hidden moth space generated for the first time would look like after He Kao opened the portal?
Anyway, it is most likely not his living room, but the secret room.

In fact, Xiaopang also has the opportunity to inherit the Hidden Moth Technique. At the moment he opens the portal, if he can achieve the state required by "I have no view", he will have the opportunity to remain in the same state as He Kao...

Unfortunately, once missed, it was missed. Both his father and He Kao’s father had missed it.

He Kao didn't know exactly what the hidden moth space operated by Huang Xiaopang looked like, but now he had a rough idea of what Huang Xiaopang might have experienced after entering the portal.

In that case, Huang Xiaopang can still become a hidden moth, or in other words, he is still a hidden moth.

It does not mean that you can become a Hidden Moth by practicing the Hidden Moth technique. That is only true for the sorcerers of the Hidden Moth Sect. Theoretically, there can be many people like that, such as the first-level sorcerers of the Hidden Moth Sect, who were called stealth warriors in ancient times.

As for what the requirements are for second-level, third-level and higher-level sorcerers, He Kao doesn't know yet, because he has not yet comprehended the second level of the Hidden Moth Technique, and has not heard any news about the Hidden Moth Sect in reality.

The so-called Hidden Moth refers only to those who have mastered this magical portal. In theory, it has nothing to do with whether one has practiced the Hidden Moth technique. The power of the Hidden Moth is not a human ability, nor is it the power of a cultivator's technique, but rather the magic of this portal itself.

Since ancient times, many people have speculated that the power of the hidden moth is the magical effect of the hidden moth object, which is generally correct.

Opening this portal in place to enter and exit consumes both the spiritual energy cultivated through the technique and the physical strength and energy of an ordinary person. As long as the frequency is not too frequent and moderate, and one pays attention to rest and nourishment during the day, one can recover.

But if you open another portal and travel through space like Huang Xiaopang did, what you consume is your vital energy, which is equivalent to burning your life for ordinary people, and it is basically impossible to recover with ordinary tonic methods.

Even if you exercise moderation, it will only slow down consumption, and the specific situation varies from person to person because everyone's innate constitution is different. So, although nutritional supplements don't play a decisive role, they are still somewhat useful.

Those who have not practiced the art of hiding moths and have not received subsequent inheritance of the magic formulas after entering the portal are also hidden moths, but they can be called "fake moths".

Don’t mention where the concept of “fake moth” came from. It was something He Kao realized on his own after inheriting the tradition, so he gave it this name.

In He Kao's daily work, he often has to make up names for a bunch of so-called new concepts, and he is used to doing so.

If he really wanted to, he could also try to become a fake moth like Huang Xiaopang, and use his habitual cognition to develop the so-called hidden moth space... But there would be two consequences.

First of all, he also has to pay the price of burning his life. For a cultivator, doing so will damage his foundation and make it difficult to make further progress in his cultivation.

Secondly, even if the foundation is not damaged, if the hidden moth chooses to become a fake moth, it will be difficult for it to obtain the subsequent inheritance of skills.

How to choose is not a problem for He Kao. He still has some concentration as he was able to practice my Wuguan entry.

At this point, there is still a question, why can He Kao really get started?

The first reason is, of course, because he got the entry-level skills and techniques. Why didn't others get it? Because others didn't have the conditions!

He Kaoke didn't just enter the keyword "I have no view" on the Internet to search for the mental method. If he did that, he might just find an online novel.

Someone once passed down the secrets of the Invisibility Technique, but they have been lost in the long river of history, becoming fragmented information and fragments of words recorded in an unknown book.

Some of the content has completely disappeared, and some has been distorted beyond recognition due to rumors. Even if it is found, it is impossible to practice it accordingly. Fortunately, the introductory techniques and mental methods are still relatively complete.

However, since ancient times, it's impossible for anyone to compile a secret manual of cultivation using He Kao's methods. He Kao wrote his own data-scraping program, then leveraged the computing power of his company's AI platform to accomplish this task. In the eras of Zhou Du and Huang Cankui, this technology didn't even exist. Even when Huang Xiaopang was just starting college, the initial prototypes of this technology were likely still under development.

Despite this, only the first two pages of the secret manual of observation created by He Kao are reliable. As for the rest of the content, it was all made up by artificial intelligence based on programming logic and using big data, and the more it was written, the more outrageous it became.

With this condition, He Kao also has to practice the contents of the first two pages.

This brings us to the second important reason. In addition to the annotations Lin Qingshuang made for him, he also has a condition that ordinary people cannot possess.

He had worn the beast claw pendant since he was three years old, and continued to wear it until he was twenty-five. The pendant was a rare passive magic weapon with two magical effects: "calming the mind" and "malice detection."

For ordinary people, its use is not great or obvious, but wearing it for a long time during the growth process, especially during the entire stage of physical and sensory development, can make his emotions stable and his perception sharp.

The golden age for learning magic is between fourteen and twenty years old.

He Kao is already 25 years old, but Lin Qingshuang still thinks that he is an excellent candidate for learning magic. She even feels that it would be a pity if he did not learn magic. Even if He Kao did not ask, Lin Qingshuang wanted to accept him as his disciple.

Qualification is one aspect, but more importantly, Lin Qingshuang also admires He Kao as a person. Even if he fails to become his disciple, Lin Qingshuang is willing to give him some advice.

It is difficult for others to meet these conditions.

To take a step back, even if someone in history had obtained the secret techniques of the Hidden Moth Technique and was able to practice it, he would only become a first-level stealth fighter and could not become a Hidden Moth. That path was passed down through another sect.

After thinking this through, He Kao became a little worried again. He was worried about Huang Xiaopang.

Peiyuan Dan only kept Huang Xiaopang alive. Even if he took one pill every month to make up for his lost vitality, it would only temporarily stabilize his physical condition and was definitely not a long-term solution.

It's like having a serious gastrointestinal disease. It's difficult for the person to digest food and absorb nutrients, and he can't always rely on intravenous drips to survive. The damage that has already occurred in the body is still there. We have to find a way to allow him to recover on his own while the situation is still stable.

Which technique is specifically for conditioning the body, or is it the most effective for conditioning the body? I can ask Lin Qingshuang or Wu Yanjun someday. If there really is such a technique, then I can find a way to let Xiaopang learn it.

As for the Moth Concealment Technique, forget it. It probably isn't suitable for the condition, and Huang Xiaopang probably can't master it either. His foundation is already damaged, so he shouldn't challenge such a difficult skill.

What special abilities does a Stalker have? Firstly, "night vision" and "hearing."

The so-called night vision is easy to understand, as it means that you can distinguish things in the dark; He Kao also has some experience with the so-called hearing and shape, as even if you can't see with your eyes, you can still obtain environmental information through sound.

This is an ability that comes naturally to those who become stealth fighters. In addition, there are also the first-level techniques of the Hidden Moth Sect, such as physical observation, wind chasing, and poison detection, all of which utilize various senses to judge information.

All of these require special training or exercise. Practicing the fundamental techniques improves sensory abilities, while these specialized techniques are the application skills and unique tricks.

Based on these techniques, the Yin Mo Sect also has a kind of telepathy technique, which is to make comprehensive use of various senses to achieve a natural state where each is indistinguishable from the others.

The art of telepathy is very difficult to practice, and its wonderful uses cover all the aforementioned techniques. Of course, you can start practicing directly, but it is best to practice the aforementioned techniques of observation, wind chasing, and poison detection first.

Telepathy is an advanced technique. Although theoretically a first-level cultivator can practice it, it usually takes until the third level to master it.

No matter which technique they practice, a first-level cultivator will enhance his sensory abilities, which will manifest as increasingly sharp perceptions and nerve reaction speeds. The limit depends on the physical condition, that is, each person's physiological foundation.

However, the techniques of the Yin Mo Sect place special emphasis on perception, even going so far as to say that practicing the Perception Technique can grant one infrared perception similar to that of a snake, while practicing the Wind Chasing Technique can even allow one to track auras like a dog.

As for He Kao, he is a little bit arrogant now, just like Huang Xiaopang who claimed to be a genius back then. He has become very confident and plans to practice telepathy directly.

Telepathy is one of the two iconic techniques of the Yin Mo Sect. The other technique is stealth, which is also the origin of the name "stalker".

Stealth is also a technique that can be advanced as one's cultivation progresses. Its main purpose is to restrain one's aura, reduce one's presence, and make people ignore its existence as much as possible... When cultivated to a high level, it can even affect the senses and consciousness.

It also has some application skills, such as how to use various environmental factors to hide yourself so that people don’t notice or are not easily noticed.

When using stealth, you must be careful. Its effect is relative. Making people unnoticeable does not mean that they cannot notice you at all. If it is someone who is particularly familiar with you and cares about you, it may not have much effect.

Another point is that you cannot be too conspicuous. If you deliberately make noise or dress like a street enthusiast, forget about stealth, as this goes against the essence of magic.

What if I'm too handsome? Well... well, it's hard to give up on natural beauty, so I can only try to pay attention to it.

As a hidden moth, He Kao is already the most skilled stealth fighter in the world even if he has not practiced stealth techniques. As long as he hides in a doorway, no one can find him.

But he couldn't just rely on the magic of the portal; he still had to practice stealth.

Only then did He Kao truly realize how lucky he and Huang Xiaopang had been the night before. Even though he was only a first-level sorcerer, his perception and reaction speed clearly surpassed that of an ordinary person.

Fortunately, Huang Xiaopang was able to switch to the appropriate weapon at any time. He used a submachine gun from behind in street fighting, a shotgun at close range, and an automatic rifle to suppress the enemy when he hid behind a window facing an open area.

If Xiaopang only used an ordinary pistol, he probably wouldn't be able to hit many people and would most likely be killed on the spot, not to mention dealing with so many warlocks.

As for the three people killed by He Kao with a pistol, two of them were attacked at close range without warning, and the other one was injured and could not dodge.

It seems that in the future, when facing various sorcerers, I must be extra cautious, never underestimate the opponent, and never resist if I can attack by surprise.

Hmm, something feels a little off... The techniques of the Hidden Moth Sect, especially the iconic telepathy and stealth techniques, seem to be a skill package specially tailored for sneak attacks?
