The man didn’t react, implying he hadn’t noticed him.
He Kao wanted to conduct an experint; earlier, no one had noticed him, but those were ordinary people. What about substituting them with sorcerers? Practice proved that in this state of stealth, even sorcerers with cultivation found it difficult to perceive him.
Although He Kao could see the other person, the two seed to exist in different worlds.
He Kao drifted closer into the fast-food restaurant, coming to a place just a few steps from the man, floating in mid-air across two tables, maintaining a state of observation without thought.
What does observation without thought an? It can be roughly described as seeing but not seeing, like how an average person walks down the street, can see many things, and can avoid various obstacles, but their consciousness is not deliberately observing them.
At this mont, if a handso man or beautiful woman with outstanding looks were to approach, you might imdiately notice them and take a special second glance, which is not observation without thought.
To truly observe without thought requires extrely deep ditation cultivation, requiring willpower strong enough to overco inner demons, sothing only high-tier sorcerers can generally accomplish.
He Kao drifted in for the sake of this unknown sorcerer and managed to keep an observing without thinking mindset, sothing ordinary people couldn’t do... In this state, the other still seed unaware.
He Kao attempted to drift closer, almost sitting across from the man just over one table. The man frowning slightly all of a sudden, looked up with so confusion, his gaze appearing to aim at the counter.
He Kao instantly vanished, finding himself outside the fast-food restaurant in mid-air. Although the man couldn’t see him, sorcerers possess a sense of spiritual awareness, a kind of indescribable intuition. The other might have sensed sothing.
Floating in mid-air, He Kao conducted another test, actively shifting from the previous observation without thought state to intentionally focus on observing the man’s back...
Zhang Jingu was eating noodles when he inexplicably felt sothing was off, as if sothing was right in front of him. He looked up but saw nothing, deploying his divine sense to no avail.
At that mont, he suddenly had the sensation of being watched, turning to look at the mid-air behind him, his gaze penetrating through the glass window, seeing nothing in the space before the plaza... His divine sense also swept across the area.
He could feel that there seed to be sothing there, existing sowhere between presence and absence, but didn’t know what it was specifically—sothing shapeless and formless that flashed by and was gone.
Was it an illusion, or... did he encounter a ghost?
Soone must have been spying on him a mont ago, yet Zhang Jingu, as a Tier Four Flower with Spirit Awakening Skill cultivation, felt no emotions from such observation.
Zhang Jingu had long confird that Yin spirits and ghosts didn’t exist in this world, feeling both puzzled and regretful. Then what was that mont? Could it have been so high master’s technique?
Zhang Jingu stopped eating his noodles, got up, and walked outside, standing in the plaza looking up at the sky and observing his surroundings, but found nothing...
He Kao’s consciousness returned to his body, his whole being tingling as if swept by electrical currents or pierced by countless fine needles.
This was actually the result of his consciousness being attacked by the mysterious sorcerer’s divine sense. The other was at least a Tier Four Sorcerer. Luckily, the attack wasn’t strong, rely causing his consciousness to instantly return to his body.
From spirit to form, consciousness affected, his body responded with sensation.
He Kao had tested part of the results: ordinary people, even with occasional spiritual sense, couldn’t detect an out-of-body consciousness. If maintained in an observation without thought state, even cultivators with divine sense would find it hard to detect, unless at a certain proximity.
If intentionally observed, the detectable distance becos much greater; He Kao had been discovered from ten ters away. Divine sense attacks have so harmful effects on out-of-body consciousness, but the damage isn’t strong.
He Kao’s primordial spirit wasn’t injured, rely driven back swiftly to his body, with a rather significant consumption of divine power and mana.
An out-of-body consciousness can’t touch anything and is unlikely triggered by other ans, leading to a reduced effect of various attacks.
However, this was under conditions where the other didn’t deliberately attack him. What if magical treasures were used for a strike? Without bodily protection, even if damage is mitigated, it might be very dangerous.
Rembering the mysterious sorcerer’s appearance, he decided to inform Old Qian later.
He Kao turned away from the station exit, disappearing at a quiet spot and, in the next mont, appearing at the Jinxiu Science and Technology Park in Nanhua’s north suburb, where Ye Liangcheng was stationed at the secret base.
The base center, on the fifth floor of the Jinxiu Entrepreneurship Mansion, where Lan Jiwan had created a dwelling by renovating three rooms and connecting water, electricity, and the internet. She also arranged a ditation chamber.
She practiced here almost undisturbed; besides Ye Liangcheng and the Hidden Moth brother, no one else knew of this place.
He Kao appeared on the rooftop terrace, using "Consciousness Stealth" to drift down along the building’s exterior. He referred to his newly mastered ability as Consciousness Stealth, marking a Tier Four Sorcerer of the Hidden Moth Sect.
The state of Consciousness Stealth is peculiar, unlike divine sense, as if he himself were floating mid-air. Outside the building, unless he actively thought about it, he couldn’t see inside.
But in this state, he could pass through very narrow spaces or directly penetrate thin walls. So he drifted in, not through the wall but through doors and windows, reaching Lan Jiwan’s ditation chamber.
