Hidden Moth-Chapter 414 - 231: Riding the Morning Wind, Startling the Yellow Magpie

What kind of help does He Kao want from Gu Chun? It’s the recently mastered art of Consciousness Detachment, he wants Gu Chun, a prominent figure, to help him with a test.

First, in a state where he observes without thinking, how far can he be detected? Secondly, when he deliberately spies, at what distance will he be discovered?

Gu Chun was surprised upon hearing this and said, "Yin Spirit Travel, is this the exclusive method of the Hidden Moth Sect’s High-tier Sorcerers? Why didn’t you say so earlier!"

He Kao chuckled, "I was too excited just now, only thinking about the test flight, and you, sir, interrupted, so I only remembered now."

The testing method is simple. Gu Chun finds a small mountain nook nearby to sit in and maintains his usual state. He Kao’s consciousness detaches and floats around him nearby...

If the distance is kept beyond a hundred meters, Gu Chun won’t notice him as long as he doesn’t deliberately unfold his Divine Sense to probe.

It’s not that Gu Chun lacks the ability; this is like the mosquitoes in the neighbor’s house. With He Kao’s ability, he could definitely detect them with his refined Divine Sense, but when there’s nothing happening, who’s going to pay attention?

In other words, under such circumstances, he won’t trigger a reaction from Gu Chun.

Once within a hundred-meter range, Gu Chun will sense him, followed by a sweep of his Divine Sense to discover him.

The next test involves Gu Chun controlling his Divine Sense to be non-destructive, seemingly able to see a phantom. The phantom is, of course, hard to recognize, but knowing its origin, Gu Chun could identify He Kao’s Divine Soul characteristics.

And He Kao’s perception is such that, once locked onto by Gu Chun’s Divine Sense, his "Yin Spirit" cannot move, meaning he can’t float around anymore and can only instantly return to his body.

However, once his consciousness returns to his body, Gu Chun’s Divine Sense follows, locking onto his entire being.

The third test is intentional observation with particular emotions, and He Kao found that no matter the distance, Gu Chun seemed to have a sense of it, and he could discover him within twenty kilometers.

What does deliberate observation with emotions mean? It means He Kao intentionally fantasized about doing something to Gu Chun, like tapping the old man’s forehead, pulling his ear, or throwing a stone...

The detached consciousness certainly can’t do these things, but it doesn’t stop He Kao from having these thoughts.

He Kao’s consciousness detachment reaches only one kilometer, so how can it observe Gu Chun twenty kilometers away? Very simple, his body being twenty kilometers away from Gu Chun is enough!

Due to terrain obstruction, he can’t see Gu Chun from twenty kilometers away, but when the Yin Spirit floats to high altitude, it can still observe Gu Chun in the mountain nook.

This is merely passive observation; theoretically, the distance could be limitless, like the moon being 380,000 kilometers away, yet people can still see it when they look up.

Viewing someone from twenty kilometers makes them hard to distinguish, just a tiny dot. To aid his observation, Gu Chun specifically cast a magic that emits strong light, allowing him to see from a great distance.

This is the distinction between consciousness detachment and Divine Sense probing; He Kao’s Divine Sense couldn’t possibly investigate such distant matters.

Beyond twenty kilometers, during intentional observation with emotions, Gu Chun also has a sense, like a sudden urge, but he can no longer detect He Kao’s "Yin Spirit" nor pinpoint He Kao’s location.

With a series of tests yielding results, He Kao can foresee what to expect if he encounters individuals like Gu Chun in the future. It’s known that although Gu Chun’s cultivation realm doesn’t match Jiang Daozhen’s, he is said to be the first in magical combat among the Ancestral Hall Elders.

Gu Chun also reminded He Kao in the end, never to act recklessly with this technique. Yin Spirit Travel may seem elusive, but a high-level Divine Sense can still cause harm, severe injuries could lead to unconsciousness, or even be lethal,

but Gu Chun also admitted this technique is indeed bizarre and difficult to guard against. It’s known that this is not just a method of Hidden Moth, but Divine Techniques mastered by all Hidden Moth Sect High-tier Sorcerers!

With Gu Chun’s cultivation, without precautions, He Kao’s "Yin Spirit" could approach within a hundred meters, which is close enough to observe many things.

Elder Gu happens to be a research-oriented sorcerer, he then proposed a new idea for a test He Kao hadn’t thought of, which is to have He Kao’s Yin Spirit travel to find an object—a known object.

The old man took He Kao’s usual phone away, hidden somewhere in the mountains, then informed He Kao the phone is within the range of his Divine Sense, and asked how long would he take to find it?

If in an open space, He Kao’s Divine Sense could cover 3.14 square kilometers, but making him extend his Divine Sense inch by inch to search every area is impossible in a short time! 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Unless luck is exceptionally good, otherwise he’d take quite a while under normal circumstances.

However, He Kao instantly accomplished it, his Primordial Spirit manifested the phone’s shape and aura, something familiar to him, then his Yin Spirit traveled using teleportation magic, directly to the phone.

The next instant, his body also teleported beside the phone, bending over to pick it up. Not only was the phone found, it was retrieved, because he is not only He Kong’Er, but also truly the Hidden Moth.

Elder Gu was quite mischievous, hiding the phone in a rabbit’s nest, with a few newly-eyed rabbits inside. After retrieving the phone, He Kao suddenly received a Divine Thought from Gu Chun: "Find me!"

Only then did He Kao realize Gu Chun had disappeared without a trace.
