Hidden Moth

What needed to be told to He Kao, Jiang Daozhen had already said it all. The old man got up and said, "There's no need for the grand kowtow ceremony!"

He Kao was taken aback. What did this mean? Was it a reminder? As a modern person, he had indeed not developed this consciousness, and no one had taught him about it!

Fortunately, He Kao quickly recalled that during the Lingxi Skill transmission just now, Jiang Daozhen had introduced a form of obeisance.

It was a ceremony performed at the Sect's Ancestral Hall after breaking through Tier Four cultivation and becoming a high-tier sorcerer, where one performed a rite to the ancestors requiring both knees, both elbows, and forehead to touch the ground.

It was only proper to perform such a grand gesture for him, and since He Kao only knew this one, he decided to go with it. He immediately got up, moved the small stool away, and fell to the ground to perform the grand kowtow ceremony...

Jiang Daozhen first stood facing him, seemingly very satisfied, nodding his head slightly, and then slightly turned to the side, still facing him with a laugh, saying: "You child, I asked you not to perform the grand kowtow ceremony, yet you insisted on doing so!"

Just as He Kao finished the ceremony and was about to raise his head, Elder Jiang suddenly extended a finger, pointing at He Kao's forehead through the air, and countless information flooded into his mind, forming another Divine Thought Heart Seal.

This time too, Jiang Daozhen did not give any forewarning. What he imparted was still techniques, including the complete transmission of six techniques: Observing Body, Microcosm, Heart Plate, Alchemy Cauldron, Qi Observation, and Xingshen.

In addition to the fundamental techniques, this also included various applied techniques at each realm that these six sorcerers could cultivate or excel in, along with their features, nuances, and multiple taboos.

Adding to what was already taught, the transmission of the Lingxi Skill made it clear. Jiang Daozhen had given him the seven great Magic Sect transmissions. He Kao had thought Elder Jiang's introduction of the Lingxi Skill was already detailed enough, only to realize now that it was actually the briefest among them.

This wasn't because the old man was holding back; many aspects of the Lingxi Sect are simply too mysterious and indescribable.

Jiang Daozhen also explained that these were the rules of the Magic Sect from twelve hundred years ago. Since Hidden Moth was meant to oversee the disciples of the Magic Sect throughout the world, it was necessary to understand the characteristics of the opponent's cultivation and the various methods they might excel in.

Nowadays, every Elder in the Sect Law Hall masters the complete transmission of the seven great Magic Sects.

One of the purposes of this practice is also to prevent the loss of techniques and avoid a recurrence of the Hidden Moth Sect's disappearance twelve hundred years ago.

More importantly, the Sect Law Hall has become the supervisory and management body of the entire Magic Sect. Every Elder needs to understand the cultivation characteristics of each sect's disciples.

Since everyone has mastered the transmission, can an Elder from the Observing Body Sect take in a disciple to teach them the Micro-Entry Skill?

Theoretically, it seems possible. For instance, Jiang Daozhen, this Lingxi Sect Elder, indirectly transmitted the Insect Concealment Skill to He Kao. But usually, people don't do this; it's an unspoken rule.

Another point worth emphasizing is that although every Elder masters the complete transmission of the seven great magic arts, this is passed down through generations using the Divine Thought Heart Seal, and they themselves may not truly be proficient in the secret techniques of other magical arts.

For example, an Elder from the Observing Body Sect might master the transmission of the Micro-Entry Skill, but he personally may not have cultivated it. Attempting to tutor a disciple from the Micro Sect would not be as appropriate as another high-tier sorcerer from the Micro Realm Sect, and there's no need to overstep and act for others.

Of course, there are also special circumstances.

For example, if Elder Jiang particularly favors a certain junior and wants to take them as a disciple to pass on the Lingxi Skill, yet the person is unable to cultivate the entry-level skills, but considering their good aptitude, he might try teaching them the Observing Body Skill; and if they successfully cultivate it,

In such situations, the usual practice is to find a cultivator from the Observing Body Sect and recommend this junior to continue cultivating the Observing Body Skill under their tutelage.

Jiang Daozhen also told He Kao that the ancestors said that these seven magical arts plus the Insect Concealment Skill are equivalent to eight paths to reaching the summit, ultimately leading to the same destination, with no distinction of being higher or lower.

However, such a realm is still beyond Jiang Daozhen, who is already a Tier Seven Grand Calculator.

Since Magic Sect Elders have mastered multiple transmissions, could they possibly practice other magical arts? Theoretically, there is no problem, and in practice, some people do, but it is merely a means of support and validation.

A person's energy is limited, and it is difficult to exhaust the fundamental technique of their main sect throughout their life.

However, in special cases, when progress is slow and breakthroughs are hard to come by, some people also attempt to broaden their perspectives, verify certain ideas and insights appropriately.

Though there is no hierarchy among the eight magical arts, the difficulty of entry varies. According to Jiang Daozhen, the Insect Concealment Skill is the most difficult to cultivate, followed by the Lingxi Skill.

Therefore, since ancient times, elders from the Lingxi Sect frequently recommended disciples to other Magic Sects because some people really cannot master the Lingxi Skill, but they can try other techniques.

Back when Jiang Daozhen broke through to Tier Six Calculator cultivation, people often brought their juniors to him, not necessarily to be accepted as his disciple, but to ask him to "calculate" something.

See if the child is suitable for cultivating magical arts, and if so, which magical arts might be best suited for them?

Later, in these past twenty-three years, due to special reasons, Jiang Daozhen has secluded himself and seldom engaged in such activities.

Regarding the cultivation of different magical arts, Jiang Daozhen also emphasized that even if it's for the purpose of verification or borrowing concepts, it's best to wait until one breaks through Tier Four and becomes a high-tier sorcerer.

The average high-tier sorcerer doesn't have this condition; they're not Sect Law Hall Elders and do not master the complete transmission of other magic arts.

But He Kao has all the conditions; he has received the complete transmission of seven arts!
