Chapter 30 Obscuring the Sun
Chapter 30 Obscuring the Sun
Deep inside an underground cave, Zhao Chen sat leaning against a stalactite.
It's been three days. Since entering the underground river and drifting with the current to this cave, he hasn't shown his face again. The auras of the four Nascent Soul stage angels are still there, but they are much farther away from him now.
He closed his eyes and carefully recalled every detail of being surrounded that day.
He used a disguise. Logically speaking, the angels shouldn't have discovered him at all.
But the truth is, the light shield fell down as soon as he approached the mine.
"wrong."
He opened his eyes.
The angels didn't find him; they were lying in ambush. They knew he would return, knew which direction he would approach from, and knew when to lower the protective barrier.
It wasn't accidental; it was premeditated.
How did they determine it was mine?
He pondered, going through the crystal plate and the records about angels in the anime from his previous life from beginning to end.
Divine aura sensing—angels can sense each other through divine aura, but he is not an angel, so where does his divine aura come from?
The mental imprint—he had never been in contact with those four Nascent Soul stage angels, so it was impossible for them to have left their mark on him.
Angelic gene frequency—that's even more impossible; he's a raven, not an angel.
Energy trajectory back – every time he comes, he transforms into other animals and flies, making it impossible for him to leave an energy trajectory.
The Tiancheng-class detection array—this thing can indeed scan the entire galaxy, but it can only scan for signs of life and energy intensity; it can't detect who is who. And it has also transformed.
"No, none of that is right."
He frowned.
What made those angels so sure it was him? What made them set up an ambush for him?
The only possibility...
He suddenly remembered the feathers in the warehouse. Those were his feathers from before he took human form. Although they were shattered beyond recognition during his tribulation, their essence might still remain.
There is one more thing to be careful of: dead angels, who will deliver a message before they die.
For example, communication in the dark dimension before death.
such as……
A thought flashed through his mind.
Angels share a unified genetic sequence, enabling them to recognize the genetic frequencies of their own kind. Although he lacks angelic genes, he has absorbed the genes of so many angels, and his body may retain their essence. Especially the energy in his mind, imbued with divine aura. It might go undetected under normal circumstances, but could be identified if he enters the detection range of a high-ranking angel.
It's like... you smell like someone else.
"So they determined it was the same killer based on the residual scent?"
The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.
Those feathers must have left some kind of trace. Based on these traces, the four Nascent Soul stage angels deduced that the murderer would return, so they set up an ambush to wait for him.
"I see……"
He muttered to himself.
But there's still a question: how did those four Nascent Soul stage cultivators see through him? In his disguised form, he clearly didn't reveal any aura.
unless……
His expression changed slightly. He remembered that he seemed to be the only living being in that area. Recalling information from his past life, the angel's biological engine, based on its computing power, could make certain predictions and deductions.
"This is troublesome."
Zhao Chen leaned against the stalactite, lost in thought.
If it's just a lingering aura, he can transform into another creature or find a way to eliminate it. But if the other party can deduce, then no matter where he's hiding, he could potentially be found.
We need to change our approach.
He needs a spell that can obscure the secrets of heaven and disrupt the calculations.
Among the 72 Transformations of the Earthly Fiends, there is a sect called "Sun-Covering," which specializes in this.
"First learn how to conceal the sun."
Zhao Chen closed his eyes and began to comprehend.
-
Three days later, he barely grasped the basics of the Sun-Covering Technique.
The true essence within the body circulates along a specific route, forming a faint barrier on the surface of the soul. This barrier cannot defend against attacks, but it can obscure the secrets of heaven, causing divination techniques to lose their target.
He opened his eyes and sensed the air outside.
The four high angels were still there, but their search suddenly seemed aimless, no longer systematically narrowing the encirclement as before.
"efficient."
Zhao Chen stood up and stretched his limbs.
It's time to continue the hunt.
He needs more divine aura, more comprehension, and more energy. Once he has accumulated enough, he can break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage. At that time, even if he encounters those four high-level angels head-on, he will be able to handle them easily.
Zhao Chen transformed into a bee and flew out of the cave.
