The first person to send a ssage was, of course, Lin Qingshuang.
The latest order from the Ancestral Hall, the specific content she had already told He Kao yesterday. Today, she mainly reiterated the news about the Hidden Moth and conveniently sent a new technique annotation.
The second person to send a ssage to He Kao was Lawyer Yao Shaolan, which sowhat surprised He Kao. Lawyer Yao also explained that if Qian Guran were around, he would definitely have forwarded it to him, so she took it upon herself to do so.
Yao Shaolan relayed the latest order from the Ancestral Hall and the news about the Hidden Moth.
The third person to send a ssage to He Kao turned out to be Wu Yanjun.
Despite the latest order from the Ancestral Hall having been widely spread the day before yesterday, and even He Kao already knew about it, Wu Yanjun only learned of it today at noon.
He did not relay the Ancestral Hall’s order, but specifically inford He Kao about the situation regarding the Hidden Moth that was newly announced by the Ancestral Hall.
In Xiaowu’s view, the many people who had gone to Qi Yuan to disturb He Kao in recent months, including his junior sister, were all because of the rumors of the Hidden Moth. Therefore, this information needed to be communicated to He Kao to keep him inford.
Xiaowu also sent a piece of good news: his identity has been recognized by the Magic Sect, and he has officially beco a Micro Realm Sect disciple.
The ssages sent to He Kao by these three people were each different, and for various reasons. But why did they all dare to send the ssages, were they not afraid of violating the Magic Sect’s regulations?
So ssages, even though they are public within the Magic Sect, cannot or should not be disclosed to outsiders. However, He Kao’s current status is rather special; although he is not a sorcerer, he already understands the true situation of the Magic Sect, its techniques, and its sorcerers.
There has been a special term for such people since ancient tis, called "Guest of Fate."
He Kao is now a Guest of Fate.
There are many sources of Guests of Fate, such as in ancient tis, which included the servants around sorcerers, miscellaneous workers in the Magic Sect, and even the family mbers of sorcerers.
If they knew nothing, many things would be inconvenient, and it would be difficult not to be involved in certain matters. These people often also beco an important source of disciples for the Magic Sect.
Another situation is those who have been taught the techniques but have not yet been initiated into cultivation or cannot be initiated; or those who have been initiated but, for various reasons, have not yet beco official disciples of the Magic Sect.
Wu Yanjun was once the latter, which is rather special. As long as the person’s character is not an issue, they are generally absorbed into the Magic Sect and listed in the genealogy.
The truly representative are the forr; teachers cannot guarantee every student will succeed, let alone the transmission of techniques. Even if they were pre-screened, it is impossible to ensure every cultivator can enter the realm.
These people are naturally Guests of Fate. They often maintain contact with their seniors, viewing themselves as juniors of the sect, and in the worldly realm, most have so form of cooperation with the Magic Sect, with so outright continuing to serve the Magic Sect.
For instance, enterprises established by mbers of the Magic Sect in the worldly realm, or institutions they set up, like to employ such people, including subordinates promoted in governntal units. After all, they are considered part of their own, and things are much more convenient.
Thus, actually, Gao Xue’e is also a Guest of Fate, but apart from He Kao, no one else knows.
The latest situation regarding the Hidden Moth announced by the Ancestral Hall is what He Kao cares about the most. All three of them relayed it. The Ancestral Hall first revealed so classical records, which in the past only elders of each sect had the right to examine.
Matters such as the chaotic event of Yin Niang and the lumberjack or the fall of the last Hidden Moth Divine Nun... of course, none of these were ntioned.
The Ancestral Hall officially disclosed that 1,200 years ago, the Magic Sect had eight lineages of heritage, in addition to the current Lingxi, Observing Body, Microcosm, Heart Plate, Alchemy Cauldron, Qi Observation, and Xingshen seven lineages, there was also the Hidden Moth lineage.
The leader of the Hidden Moth lineage, also called Hidden Moth, was in charge of monitoring all Magic Sect disciples and punishing transgressing sorcerers. Their identity was extrely mysterious and they acted under the authorization of the Ancestral Hall and were directly accountable to it.
Actually, there wasn’t the current Ancestral Hall back then, but the Magic Sect had similar institutions, essentially that’s what it ant.
The inheritance of the Hidden Moth lineage was, of course, the Insect Concealnt Skill. But the cultivation of this skill was extrely difficult; not only was it hard to enter, but continuing cultivation after entry also had very high requirents, resulting in very few disciples, so much so that the lineage’s heritage was severed 1,200 years ago.
The Hidden Moth’s capacity to execute such secretive and dangerous tasks was related to an object, which was later referred to as the Hidden Moth Object. The Hidden Moth Object was very dangerous and difficult to control, with careless use leading to it turning on its user.
To master this divine artifact, one must rely on the Insect Concealnt Skill’s secret transmission. Otherwise, one might end up being controlled by the artifact instead.
Successive Hidden Moths held this object. After the Hidden Moth lineage’s heritage ended, the object’s whereabouts beca unknown and later reappeared continuously in history, owned by different people... In legends, they were also called the Hidden Moth.
As for the millennium of Hidden Moth rumors, many Magic Sect disciples already know. Hence the news of suspected Hidden Moth traces appearing in Qi Yuan spread, and many people infiltrated Qi Yuan attempting to seize the Hidden Moth Object.
The Ancestral Hall issued stern warnings against such actions, firmly prohibiting any Magic Sect disciples from pursuing this matter. Violators will be severely punished upon verification!
What everyone doesn’t know is, the Hidden Moth Object is actually intangible, so the notion of seizing it is absurd.
After the Hidden Moth lineage’s heritage was severed, the Hidden Moth Object sought out "hosts," being acquired by one person after another. They thereby acquired the power of the divine artifact but also paid a hefty price due to backlash.
Whenever a Hidden Moth passed away, the Hidden Moth Object disappeared with them, waiting for a coincidental occasion to choose the next owner. It can attach itself to any object.
