For the first time, He Kao activated Xue Guanghan using the artifact technique, marking its completion like a spiritual awakening. At this moment, He Kao had broken through to Tier Four Cultivation, becoming a High-tier Sorcerer, or one could say a Cultivator.

He held Xue Guanghan in his palm, and this pearl gradually emitted a bright glow, resembling a small moon. Sitting amidst the tree canopy, if the light were to spread out, it would undoubtedly be conspicuous, so he immediately closed his hand.

The glow felt as though it flowed into his body once grasped, his entire fist subtly shining and becoming transparent, his muscles and bones visible.

Not only his fist; if he were to remove his clothing, he would find his whole body had turned transparent, exuding a subtle radiance.

The glow gradually faded away, and He Kao immediately disappeared from the tree canopy, entering the Gu Mountain Secret Mansion through the nearby tunnel.

The Awakening Incense had long burned out, but two White Jade Candles continued to flicker. After breaking through to Tier Four Cultivation, He Kao seemed to gain sudden insights into many things.

For instance, he unintentionally saw the Spirit Lock Array on the shelf, which consisted of four small banners, and understood its arcane principles, knowing how to refine array artifacts and arrange arrays, although he still needed the cooperation of three other High-tier Cultivators.

Setting up the Spirit Lock Array requires four High-tier Cultivators, but the Earth Spirit Banner can be used as a separate magical artifact. Gu Chun had taught him the technique, but only now could he comprehend its essence.

Another instance is when Elder Li Xiuyuan gave him the Hidden Moth Gauze. Previously, He Kao wore it to shield himself from the Divine Sense perception of others regarding his face and form, but now he could grasp its true utility—to transform into another person's appearance.

He Kao also possessed numerous fabulous items... However, these are not the focus. The emphasis is the spiritual calling he received when he opened his eyes within the Parasol Tree canopy.

After sorcerers break through High-tier Cultivation, they receive a calling from the world, guiding them to find the Grotto Heaven where their respective Magic Sect's Ancestral Hall resides. Specifically, which Grotto Heaven depends on which Secret Technique they refine to break the realm.

Breaking through Lingxi Skill leads to sensing Flower Shocking Grotto Heaven.

Breaking through Observing Body Skill leads to sensing Pijing Grotto Heaven.

Breaking through Refining Skill leads to sensing Book Observation Grotto Heaven.

Breaking through Heart Plate Skill leads to sensing Feather Realm Grotto Heaven.

Breaking through Alchemy Cauldron Skill leads to sensing Immortal Pot Grotto Heaven.

Breaking through Qi Observation Skill leads to sensing Cloud Ascension Grotto Heaven.

Breaking through Spirit Awakening Skill leads to sensing Fengyu Grotto Heaven.

These seven Grotto Heaven Secret Realms are located at the Seven Phoenix Tails of Phoenix Tail Town in Shanping County, Han Ning City.

So, what about refining the Insect Concealment Skill? He Kao is the first True Moth in eleven hundred years and has refined Hidden E Technique to High Tier.

He Kao sensed a calling as well, interestingly enough, the so-called Grotto Heaven Secret Realm calling him was the Hidden Moth Space, and the "key" to opening its portal was the Beast Claw Pendant he wore.

The Beast Claw Pendant he now wore was the last of seven fake pendants, crafted by Wu Yanjun's junior disciple Ye Yuxuan. During the ceremony where Huang Xiaopang bestowed the Hidden Moth identity upon him, this pendant became the Hidden Moth Object.

Unlike others who must traverse mountains and waters to find the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm and only enter with the guidance of a Magic Sect Steward, He Kao can arrive there in an instant.

If He Kao were not a Hidden Moth and did not possess the Hidden Moth Object, being merely a common disciple of the Hidden Moth Sect who has refined the Hidden E Technique to Tier Four, he would sense the location of the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm.

Had it been a place he'd never visited, it would be understandable, but it turned out to be fairly close, a location he frequented—the Gu Mountain Secret Mansion!

The Gu Mountain Secret Mansion is a hidden base he crafted deep within the mountain's belly. How could it become the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm of the Hidden Moth Sect? To say it was a coincidence would utterly defy reason!

Yet when he appeared in the cavern hall, he was dumbfounded because the Grotto Heaven Secret Realm guiding him was precisely the Tan Xian's Walking Stick Painting hanging in front of the offering table.

He Kao inexplicably felt a very clear sensation, it wasn't an illusion; he had first entered the painting earlier and then emerged from it.

In actuality, the Invisibility Ability doesn't involve directly traversing space but requires transitioning through the peculiar Hidden Moth Space, entering it first, then opening another portal from within to reach places he has visited and remembers.

Time in the Hidden Moth Space doesn't deplete as it does in reality, making it appear as though it's teleportation; that's precisely how he had just arrived.

He had long been accustomed to inadvertently flashing through, and just now was the same, albeit feeling somewhat different, but before realizing it, he'd already emerged.

Clearly, the Hidden Moth Space holds other mysteries that he hadn't had the skill to explore previously.

When he approached Tan Xian's Walking Stick Painting, he immediately discovered its uniqueness compared to before. Previously, under Immortal Tan's gaze in the painting, he couldn't activate the Invisibility Ability.

Now, the Invisibility Ability could still be initiated, yet there was only one destination—the world within the painting! Wasn't it merely a painting? Could the wilderness indeed exist, or perhaps the so-called Hidden Moth Space is the world in the painting?

He Kao activated the Invisibility Ability and entered the Hidden Moth Space, remaining amidst silence, an exceptional state devoid of time and space concepts.

Yet within this unique state, "He Kao" himself manifested, akin to spirit forging and heavenly revelation, where a mere thought instantaneously altered the scenario, placing him amidst a patch of wilderness.

Remarkably—this wasn't an illusion but a truly tangible world!

Being a Tier Four Cultivator, he can discern illusions. The spot where he stood should be where Immortal Tan stood within the painting, but from an opposite perspective, facing the mountain ranges behind Immortal Tan.

No Immortal Tan existed in this world, only He Kao himself.

Closely observing the surrounding wilderness, the season seemed off; within the painting, it depicted a snow scene, yet the current season here mirrored the outside world's—roughly late summer to early autumn.

This season offered the richest color palette in the wilderness; certain mountain flowers remained in bloom, some fruits had already ripened, and the vegetation presented the year's fullest display.

He Kao stood upon a plateau halfway up the mountain, with stretching mountain ridge lines visible in the distant horizon, multiple parallel spurs extending toward his position.

In front of him nearer, a valley entrance formed by two mountain spurs, with a yellow clay road leading into it beneath his feet.

The road was about ten feet wide, free from weeds, packed solid and dense, seemingly impervious to turning muddy from rainwater, yet not as hard as a stone slab path.

Though currently not raining, how did He Kao know it wouldn't become muddy from the rain? Because he had studied the Artifact Identification Skill from the Micro Realm Sect, using Divine Sense to perceive many objects' characteristics.

He Kao didn't proceed along the mountain path but stood lost in thought for long moments before stepping forth and disappearing.
