Hidden Moth-Chapter 327 - 181: The Carp Feels the Dragon Gate Within

Chapter 327: Chapter 181: The Carp Feels the Dragon Gate Within

The Fundamental Heart Method only represents the cultivation realm. When engaging with others, the application methods are more important, especially the magical artifact’s clever use... As long as Ye Liangcheng is under Master Kucha’s surveillance, he will hardly defeat Hu Shulue.

Even if Ye Liangcheng manages to reach Tier Three Perfection or even breakthrough to Tier Four, he would find it difficult to uncover the truth. Would Gu Jiang and the Huiming Shi Family truly fear him? Having a subordinate with even higher cultivation working for them would be better, wouldn’t it?

He Kao always felt there were other reasons behind this.

According to Ye Liangcheng, he met fifteen disciples of Master Kucha, among whom the highest cultivation was Tier Three, including himself as one of three. There were five Tier Two Sorcerers, and the remaining seven were Tier One.

He Kao encountered Zeng Hongye, a Tier Four Magic Sect member from the Xingshen Sect at the Northeast Border, who had privately taught a foreign disciple named Xiaosi, whose cultivation was also Tier Three.

It seems that among those secretly taught disciples by the Magic Sect, none have exceeded Tier Three in cultivation.

If there’s doubt, the best approach is to consult with closely related high-tier sorcerers, with the best candidate being Steward Wei from the Lingxi Sect.

He Kao now knows that after a sorcerer breakthroughs to Tier Four cultivation, they need to go to the Sect Ancestral Hall of the Seven Great Grotto Heavens in Phoenix Tail Town for the secondary inheritance rite before gaining high-tier techniques.

One must pay attention to the sequence; it’s not accepting the secondary inheritance that allows the breakthrough to Tier Four cultivation, but rather breaking through Tier Four cultivation before accepting the secondary inheritance.

He Kao learned from Wei Luo that when heading to the grotto heaven secret realm where the Sect Ancestral Hall is, one cannot take the tunnel roads already opened but must instead traverse the ancient paths through mountains.

The sect rules actually comprise two parts, one specifically for high-tier sorcerers, and those not reaching this realm have no qualifications to understand.

Why doesn’t He Kao consult Old Qian? Because he nicknamed Old Qian "the tightest lips in the world."

Among those He Kao knows, Qian Guran is the most tight-lipped and the best at keeping secrets. Anything that shouldn’t be said, Old Qian won’t reveal to anyone, regardless of the relationship!

For example, Huang Xiaopang being the Hidden Moth is known to Qian Guran, but he never mentioned it to anyone, even not hinting or revealing it in front of He Kao, who also knew.

Before attending the secondary inheritance ceremony, Old Qian was even forewarned by He Kao, yet upon returning, he did not mention anything about the grotto heaven secret realm or the secondary inheritance ceremony.

It seems that after breaking through Tier Four, there are some mysterious aspects, and according to the unspoken rules of the Magic Sect, it wouldn’t be casually disclosed to such Guest of Fate as He Kao or low-tier disciple.

"Steward Wei, I’ve had a question on my mind, but it hasn’t been easy to find someone to ask."

"No need to call me Steward Wei. You’re not a Lingxi Sect disciple who’s done wrong... You used to call me Xiaoluo, didn’t you?"

"I never expected you, such a young girl, to already be a steward of the Lingxi Sect."

"It’s unavoidable. There’s just too few Lingxi Sect disciples. A steward is usually expected to have Tier Five cultivation, with three required per sect. Without me, Lingxi Sect wouldn’t have gathered three stewards."

"Luckily, someone like you with natural talent, or Lingxi Sect would struggle to gather three Tier Five stewards."

"You specially invited me to Pugang Town today and personally cooked; surely you have something to ask... No need to always compliment me, go ahead and ask."

This weekend, instead of looking for Ye Liangcheng, He Kao made time to invite Wei Luo to Pugang Town, visiting the place where his master once ran a chess booth, then having a meal at home.

He didn’t go to a restaurant or order delivery; He Kao personally cooked, which is elder-level treatment. He Kao even prepared a bottle of wine, persuading Wei Luo to drink some; from an observer’s point, it seemed like the big bad wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood.

Because He Kao wore a gray T-shirt, while Wei Luo happened to wear a red hooded sun-protective shirt.

Upon hearing Wei Luo’s words, He Kao shyly said, "My main intent is for you to taste my cooking and hence seek some advice. How’s the dish, does it suit your palate?"

Wei Luo: "Hmm, very good, all very delicious; I like it... I’ll drink another glass!"

He Kao: "Drink less, eat more... Have you seldom drunk before?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Wei Luo: "Master doesn’t allow it, but I find it quite flavorful."

Drinking was merely to enliven the atmosphere. He Kao didn’t expect Wei Luo’s capacity wasn’t great; two small glasses and she appeared as if intoxicated by the springlike beauty of begonias.

He certainly didn’t intend to deliberately get Wei Luo drunk, again persuading, "Since Elder Jiang doesn’t allow, let’s drink less so you don’t get drunk..."

Wei Luo: "Master trusts you, having a drink with you should be fine."

He Kao: "Even if it’s safe, still shouldn’t drink too much."

Wei Luo: "What do you want to ask me?"

He Kao: "Do you know Wu Yanjun? You understand his situation then too. If his master hadn’t instructed him, and he hadn’t sought the uncle Ye Hui post-release, what would happen?"

Wei Luo: "Then he’d be a roaming independent cultivator."

He Kao: "Is it possible for a loose cultivator to breakthrough Tier Four, becoming a high-tier sorcerer?"

Wei Luo: "As long as one obtains the Tier One to Tier Three complete technique inheritance, it’s theoretically possible."

He Kao: "So if he breaks through Tier Four, he’d be unable to receive secondary inheritance?"

Wei Luo: "You don’t know? Ah, you really don’t know! Actually, once you break through Tier Four, you naturally come to know."

He Kao: "Know what, without a master to tell him?"

Wei Luo: "I mean, once you break through Tier Four, you naturally come to know."

He Kao: "But I haven’t broken through Tier Four yet, don’t tease me."

Wei Luo: "Before reaching Tier Four, usually one need not know; the master wouldn’t say either."

He Kao: "Does telling violate the sect rules?"

Wei Luo: "Actually, there’s no such sect rule."

He Kao: "You’re not my master, so go ahead and tell me."

Wei Luo: "It’s actually simple, but saying it might be hard to grasp. Upon cultivation breakthrough to Tier Four, one will sense a summon as if from heaven and earth, calling you to a certain place."

He Kao exclaimed: "Is it really so miraculous?"

Wei Luo: "Indeed, it’s quite miraculous. Even my master isn’t clear about what’s mystic. The Seven Great Magic Sect has seven great grotto heavens. What you sense will be the corresponding grotto heaven’s direction... By following the summon’s guidance, you’ll find your way there.

Thus, throughout history, many loose cultivators have inherited, obtaining techniques yet unaware of Magic Sect but, upon breaking through Tier Four becoming high-tier cultivators, generally they return to the Magic Sect."

He Kao: "Does such sensing provide a navigation map?"

Wei Luo: "Not quite, just a vague sense of direction, and how to reach that place, roaming independent cultivators unfamiliar with the road still need to figure it out on their own.

Today’s Magic Sect disciples are more convenient, no need to wander blindly. Report at the Ancestral Hall in Phoenix Tail Town, then fulfill the requirement by following the ancient path leading across the mountains to reach the grotto heaven’s location."
