"Since Fabre is digging his own grave, the Magic Sect won’t hold back either. Sooner or later, he’ll be dead, and we’ll have to retrieve the Heaven-reaching Feather."
At this point, he looked up at He Kao and said, "But even if we retrieve the Heaven-reaching Feather, there’s no reason to just let you use such a Divine Artifact."
He Kao replied with a half-laugh, "Then why did you say so much? Got all excited with my heart racing."
Gu Chun: "I just wanted to tease you. That’s how young people should be, not all old and solemn... For now, don’t even think about the Heaven-reaching Feather. However, the Magic Sect does have another Magical Treasure, considered the most useless Magical Artifact in the past three hundred years."
In Divine Thought, another Magical Treasure was introduced, nad Moth Wings, which seed tailor-made for He Kao. There are records of this artifact in the Magic Sect; it was created three hundred years ago by the Supre Elder of the Micro Realm Sect, He Mufeng, as an Invisible Artifact.
In today’s terms, He Mufeng was a tech nerd. He once served as the Sect Leader of the Micro Realm Sect, and his lifelong hobby was recreating those legendary Magical Treasures from ancient texts.
He Mufeng created the Moth Wings after he stepped down as Sect Leader, mimicking the legendary Heaven-reaching Feather. But he’d never seen the actual Heaven-reaching Feather and could only guess based on legends.
Elder He’s cultivation was high, but even he couldn’t create a Divine Artifact; the final product was an Invisible Artifact with only one marvelous use: unfolding invisible wings beside oneself.
Ancient tech nerds were imaginative. According to He Mufeng’s thought process, although he couldn’t produce a Flying Divine Artifact, birds can still fly with wings.
If humans were also equipped with wings, controlled by Divine Techniques, shouldn’t they be able to fly too?
Modern people understand that "flight control" is a complex and precise technology, and even the most advanced fighters can’t fly as nimbly and freely as birds.
It’s instinctual for flying animals, but humans lack this instinct; even if you equip a Sorcerer with wings, they wouldn’t know how to fly.
After many trials, He Mufeng discovered that a re pair of wings wasn’t enough, so he took inspiration from insects, resulting in a Magical Treasure whose marvelous use could unfold three pairs of invisible wings.
Compared to planes, it ans having fore, main, and rear wings. Due to its shape and flexible wings, when using the artifact, people resemble large moths, hence the na "Moth Wings."
Unfortunately, high-tier Sorcerers using this treasure could hardly truly fly, no matter how they vibrate the wings with mana, not even sustaining brief flights.
In short, it’s difficult to control, consus a lot, can’t fly high or far, or fast.
While using the artifact, flying is slower than running, often easy to hit with a stone, and even a Tier Four Cultivator’s Divine Power can only fly so ten miles at most.
Thus, many have called it the most useless Magical Treasure in three hundred years, yet Elder He devoted great energy and resources to it. Still, it wasn’t entirely without use; it represented a spirit of research.
Theoretically, it works under one condition: falling from high altitude. The best way to et this condition practically is to jump off a high cliff and then unfold the Moth Wings.
Using the Moth Wings’ marvelous use can prevent lethal falls, and with delicate Control Techniques, one might even use the upward air currents to glide like large birds.
Jokingly, it’s considered a cliff-jumping exclusive treasure, surely beloved by many fantasy novel heroes.
But the marvelous use of Moth Wings isn’t entirely foolproof. If encountering bad weather, control errors, mana exhaustion, and so on, one could still crash into the cliff or fall from the sky.
Creating artifacts was rely Elder He’s hobby, and after crafting Moth Wings, he didn’t use it himself but casually gave it to his disciple Gu Gonglai. Gu Gonglai had an accident once while using it and got hurt, so he never touched Moth Wings again.
He Kao was unsure how to respond, thought for a mont, then asked, "So where is this Magical Artifact now?"
Gu Chun: "Zou Tianjin’s master is nad Guo Qianhuai, still around, he’s the Supre Elder of the Micro Realm Sect. Guo Qianhuai is Gu Gonglai’s great-grandson, and Moth Wings are in his possession... Actually, this Elder Guo has quite so connection with you."
He Kao puzzled, "With ?"
Gu Chun explained, "The Beast Claw Pendant Elder Jiang gave you, Elder Guo Qianhuai helped with its crafting, alongside Elder Li Xiuyuan..."
Actually, both Jiang Daozhen and Li Xiuyuan mastered Artifact Refining Divine Techniques, but still, the Supre Elder of Micro Realm Sect, Guo Qianhuai, was more skillful.
When several Elder-level experts join forces in refining an artifact, it shows the pendant’s exceptional origin.
It’s complicated mainly because the requirents for refining the artifact were a bit special and challenging. It was made for a three-year-old child to wear, intended to exert subtle passive effects over a long ti.
He Kao: "I see, I must find an opportunity to greatly thank Elder Guo!"
Gu Chun: "We rescued his direct disciple Zou Tianjin, later I also plan to show face, help you request the Moth Wings."
He Kao rubbed his hands and said, "How can I accept that?"
Gu Chun: "Worry about propriety after the item is obtained... I have another question for you now, as the Invisibility Ability has undergone changes, do you know the reason?"
He Kao awkwardly said, "It’s just Invisibility Ability, naturally happening with cultivation realm progression, I can’t explain the reason."
Gu Chun shook his head, "Perhaps you forgot one thing."
He Kao: "What did I forget?"
Gu Chun: "You promoted by cultivating the Insect Concealnt Skill, and you yourself are Hidden Moth, so naturally you achieved it. What if you weren’t Hidden Moth, just an ordinary disciple of Hidden Moth Sect, what changes would there be?"
The question seems convoluted, but He Kao understood. The Hidden Moth identity is actually the Sect Leader of Hidden Moth Sect, possessing Hidden Moth Object and controlling Floating Colors Grotto Heaven.
But other disciples of Hidden Moth Sect have no Invisibility Ability. If they cultivate to high tier, ancient n were called Kong’Er, won Yin Niang. Gu Chun primarily asked about the abilities of Kong’Er and Yin Niang?
Hidden Moth Sect has Lan Jiwan and Ye Liangcheng as reserve disciples, but they haven’t mastered Insect Concealnt Skill yet. Currently, the only real sorcerer of Hidden Moth Sect is He Kao, who could also be called He Kong’Er.
If He Kao relies not entirely on Invisibility Ability but solely on the cultivation of Insect Concealnt Skill, what could he master then? Gu Chun’s question extended to—who are you if you strip away the Hidden Moth identity?
Such probing is important, particularly for Hidden Moth, as it’s essential for cultivation comprehension. If He Kao doesn’t tily recognize this point, his cultivation might struggle to advance further.
He Kao: "Thank you for the reminder! I recently broke the Realm, and I haven’t fully understood the Tier Four Heart thod of Insect Concealnt Skill; there’s been a lot going on lately, I’ll surely research thoroughly soon."
Gu Chun: "Go and try then! Cultivation shouldn’t be neglected but also shouldn’t be rushed; just let your body and mind settle."
He Kao steadied himself again, asking, "Is Steward Zou hurt badly?"
Gu Chun: "I had you fetch a Coral Staff last ti, then refined several Blood Corals. This is best for healing and conveniently gave Zou Tianjin two pieces.
Zou Tianjin already went to Nanhua today to seek aid from Steward Gong for treatnt, and it should be fine in ten days or half a month. By the way, how did you report to Lin Qingshuang?"
Injury and illness are different concepts. An injury typically results from external forces, while an illness refers to various internal abnormalities. Sorcerers seldom fall ill after reaching Tier Two, but injuries are unavoidable.
Blood Coral is a healing Spirit dicine with Coral Staff as its main ingredient, but it’s far more precious than the raw Coral Staff, mainly due to its refining virtues.
Gu Chun especially had He Kao fetch a Coral Staff to refine into several Blood Corals, possibly as a precaution against accidents.
He Kao replied, "Elder Lin knew it was you asking, so she didn’t mind. She told to note it down, repay her later, or if not, just do sothing for her... Any other instructions from you?"
Gu Chun: "You have nothing to do, but don’t rush off; find sowhere outside and watch the show. I’ll report to the police first."
He Kao stunned, "Report to the police?"
Gu Chun pointed to the miniature surveillance setup on the TV cabinet: "I found this gadget in the room, isn’t reporting to the police quite normal?"
