Hidden Moth-Chapter 525 - 299: Heaven and Earth Unbound, Wind Deciphers Words

According to classmates who frequently go to the gym, working out for a long time creates a kind of pleasure, not only bringing satisfaction in aspects like boosting confidence but also involving endocrines like dopamine and endorphins.

But how can working out compare to cultivation? That sense of fulfillment is indescribable, especially when breaking through barriers and mastering more and more magical abilities.

For this long time, He Kao has almost never missed a day of cultivation. Since opening the Floating Colors Grotto Heaven, except for very few situations, he has come here every day either to sit in meditation to comprehend or to practice techniques.

He Kao’s accumulation is deep enough, but having just broken through Tier Five, it is still unrealistic to glimpse the gateway to Tier Six for now. The best way to enhance strength is to thoroughly master all kinds of applied techniques.

Among all the methods, the one most helpful to enhance strength is the Sword Control Skill passed down by Mei Guyu.

Although Sword Control Skill is a secret transmission of the Alchemy Sect, it does not belong to any system of techniques but stands out as its own lineage, with each realm of cultivation unveiling a layer of mystery.

Mei Guyu has lost divine power, yet he entrusted He Kao with the Rainfall Divine Sword. Should an emergency arise in the future, He Kao will need to use his sword to display great might.

Men forever remain boys; which boy can refuse such temptation? Picking up a straight tree branch is irresistible for practicing swings, let alone having a divine sword in hand.

On Sunday afternoon, He Kao practiced swordsmanship in the grotto heaven, combining the long-distance spellcasting method used while controlling the grotto heaven.

He sat upright in a stone niche, while the Rainfall Divine Sword hovered in the sky over a distant valley. The sword light like silk, and the silk like rain, continually enveloped the entire valley, until the divine power was nearly exhausted, then transformed into a steel ruler to return.

The default form of the Rainfall Divine Sword is certainly a sword, but Mei Guyu temporarily refined it into the shape of a steel ruler. Since He Kao has not yet broken through to Tier Six cultivation, he cannot refine it into another form, so in its usual state, it remains a steel ruler.

On Sunday evening, He Kao still left the Floating Colors Grotto Heaven to work overtime at his unit.

Even though he had already informed Manager Huang that he could take the next two days off, he hadn’t finished his work yet, and it couldn’t be postponed to next week to avoid affecting others’ progress.

Moreover, the company has a self-serve cafeteria, guaranteeing eight dishes and two soups, as well as various staples and fruit desserts. If he wants noodles, he can have noodles; if he wants pastries, he can have pastries.

After the announcement from the Sect Law Hall, two people in the company were greatly shocked.

Qian Guran had subtly guessed what was going on, even suspecting that Mei Guyu was using himself as bait for the Sect Law Hall to set up a major trap to catch big fish.

But he didn’t expect two things: firstly, that Elder Mei hadn’t lost his divine power and the might of the divine sword was terrifying; secondly, he never imagined that the Sect Law Hall had set such a large-scale plan in motion.

The situation and its subsequent impacts are far more serious than catching a few big fish. Old Qian also felt a bit of fear mixed with a sigh of relief. Besides He Kao, there was no one else he dared to discuss this with.

Yet, coincidentally, He Kao was as if missing these few days, leaving no opportunity for communication.

In the eyes of a major company leader, an ordinary employee should stay at their workstation diligently during work hours and leave immediately after, it’s almost as if they’ve disappeared.

Huang Xiaopang was somewhat late to realize, only becoming aware of the situation after seeing the Sect Law Hall’s announcement. Such an earth-shaking event had happened without him noticing.

Reflecting on He Kao, Old Qian, and even his master’s reactions during this period, they must have had some knowledge, to varying degrees.

On realizing, Huang Xiaopang felt not fear, but a slight thrill mixed with a little surprise of being honored, even though he hadn’t been involved in anything.

Taking advantage of the weekend, Huang Xiaopang personally asked his master Lin Qingshuang, "The Elder Mei mentioned in the Sect Law Hall announcement, is he the same as the new colleague at their company, Mei Guyu?"

Xiaopang isn’t foolish; although Mei Guyu’s age and image differ greatly from the intuitive impression of a Sect Law Hall elder, he sensed something unusual in Old Qian and Xiao Kao’s attitude towards Xiaomei.

Moreover, He Kao privately reminded him to treat Mei Guyu as an ordinary colleague without any inappropriate behavior or deliberate attempts to get close or inquire about anything, just to maintain a normal distance.

If Mei Guyu were just an ordinary new colleague, would such reminders be necessary?

So there must be something off about Mei Guyu’s background... And combining this with the Sect Law Hall’s announcement, Xiaopang came up with an absurdly exaggerated guess.

He could hardly believe its truth, hence seeking confirmation from his master.

At that time, Lin Qingshuang slightly frowned and said, "The announcement stated not to spread the news or continue inquiring. Coming to me to inquire will get you punished!"

Huang Xiaopang said, "Turns out Master has known all along, and managed to keep the lips quite sealed."

Though Lin Qingshuang was scolding the disciple, the tone was gentle, free from any anger, and further said, "Someone indeed informed me a while ago, but I neither asked further nor spread the information, not even telling you.

Since the Sect Law Hall’s announcement, I have reported the matter according to the requirements."

Huang Xiaopang gave a thumbs up saying, "Master, you are truly steady!"

Lin Qingshuang smiled faintly and warned, "As long as you’re aware, do not tell anyone or continue to inquire."
