Chapter 3803: The World Wheel
The Aural Heaven Elder strode through the air. Apart from his robes that glistened brightly and seemed extraordinary, his appearance was extremely simple. He did not give off the presence of a late Immortal Exalt at all.
The Aural Heaven Elder directly arrived at the tower in the back mountains of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment, appearing before the Warring Old Freak.
Inside the tower, the dozen or so Immortal Exalts all clasped their fists and bowed. They demonstrated deep respect.
The Transcension Ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment clasped his fist as well, except his expression was rather ugly. Not only was the Aural Heavens Elder powerful, but the organisation he represented was like an unshakable pillar, enough to strike awe into him.
With the arrival of such an expert, the Transcenion Ancestor was overcome by a feeling of uneasiness.
“Fellow Aural Heavens, you must have noticed as well. All of the organisations of our Hall Brilliance Heaven have already done everything that we can to look for the person forging the Fiend Soul Banners, but our abilities are limited. Consequently, we could only trouble you.” The Warring Old Freak clasped his first towards the Aural Heavens Elder.
“Whenever our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance uses the World Wheel, it comes at a tremendous cost. Not only does it require the efforts of several Immortal Exalts, but it also consumes a tremendous amount of resources. If it were not for the fact that someone is forging a demonic god artifact as vicious as the Fiend Soul Banner, our Merchant Union of Star Brilliance really would have been reluctant to use the World Wheel.”
“As a result, we can only activate the World Wheel once. This opportunity is extremely precious. Are you certain you can find crucial evidence here?” the Aural Heavens Elder said to the Warring Old Freak sternly.
Clearly, he also treasured the opportunity to activate the World Wheel.
“What? The World Wheel…”
“The Merchant Union of Star Brilliance is actually prepared to use the World Wheel. Heavens, that’s a sovereign god artifact…”
“It’s said that the World Wheel contains the mysteries of time and space. It can peer into the past of a region and even recover the history of the place. Before this sovereign god artifact, even if an Immortal Exalt erases the traces of the ways, it can still reassemble it all together.”
“Fantastic. With a sovereign god artifact like the World Wheel, we’ll be able to know whether the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is actually guilty or not.”
The Immortal Exalts discussed. They were all reinvigorated as their eyes shone brightly.
Some of them were eager to find out the truth of this matter, while others were elated since they could soon witness the supreme might of a sovereign god artifact.
Despite being Immortal Exalts, many of them had yet to personally witness a sovereign god artifact’s true appearance.
Some of the poorer Immortal Exalts had never even touched a high quality god artifact before.
Faced with the Aural Heavens Elder’s request for confirmation, the Warring Old Freak’s eyes were determined. He nodded without hesitation and said, “I’m certain we won’t be disappointed here.”
“Everyone, we’ve already opened the entirety of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment to you. We’ve even let you enter the place where the three of us cultivate. We’ve gone above and beyond our duty, which is enough to prove our sincerity, so you better not take things too far. After all, our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment should still be respected.” The Transcension Ancestor was rather displeased, speaking up to object. He wanted to stop the Aural Heavens Elder from using the World Wheel here.
“This is where we cultivate. There will definitely be some of our private secrets hidden here. Our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment will not allow you to use the World Wheel here.” The Flying Leaf Ancestor spoke up firmly as well, trying her best to stop them.
“Have you begun to panic?” The Warring Old Freak looked at the two ancestors of the Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment with a slight smile. “Actually, I wasn’t completely confident before this, but from how you’ve responded, you’ve only confirmed my doubts.”
“Flying Leaf, Transcension, stand aside and watch for now.” The Warring Old Freak pressed down with his hand. A terrifying force immediately took shape in the space there, condensing into two cages that enveloped the Flying Leaf Ancestor and the Transcension Ancestor.
“Warring Old Freak, what are you doing?” The Transcension Ancestor bellowed fiercely. He could no longer maintain the same composure as before. His face became extremely sunken.
He was a Fifth Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt, but there was nothing he could do since this was only a clone. He obviously stood no chance against the Warring Old Freak.
“Our Daoist Sect of Heavenly Embodiment is a renowned peak organisation of the Hall Brilliance Heaven after all. Senior Warring, you’re going too far with this.” The Flying Leaf Ancestor spoke up righteously, voicing that this was injustice, but she was panicking inside.
After all, this was a sovereign god artifact, the World Wheel. It possessed unfathomable power.
When they erased the traces in the three towers, they never imagined that they would be searched by a sovereign god artifact some day.
“Please don’t panic, the two of you. If you truly are innocent, the Warring Old Freak and the other fellows of the Hall Brilliance Heaven will definitely compensate you satisfactorily.” The Aural Heavens Elder comforted them before taking action.
He formed a seal with both hands, and a profound presence flowed through the surroundings. He chanted away like he was performing a spell.
At the same time, the presence of a Seventh Heavenly Layer Immortal Exalt slowly erupted from him, growing stronger and stronger, gradually stirring up a storm of energy at the top of the tower.
As for the other Immortal Exalts present apart from the Warring Old Freak, many of them struggled to endure this tremendous presence. They slowly backed away until they retreated to the edge of the tower.
“Open!” At this moment, the Aural Heavens Elder completed his seal. An ancient imprint had already taken shape between his hands, radiating with startling pulses of energy. With his bellow, the imprint suddenly slammed into the space there.
Immediately, the space above everyone’s heads split open. Energy surged inside as multicoloured light churned. In the end, a dim space that resembled a secret room appeared.
It was an entirely different space. Who knew how far away it was from the Hall Brilliance Heaven.
“Fellows, please activate the World Wheel!” the Aural Heavens Elder said to the empty secret room.
As soon as he finished speaking, four figures silently appeared in the secret room. They were all ruddy old men, radiating with powerful presences.
At this moment, the four old men seemed to see the Immortal Exalts on the distant Hall Brilliance Heaven. One of them said, “A Fiend Soul Banner has appeared on the Hall Brilliance Heaven. The union leader cares very much about this, so he’s specially sent us to cooperate with you in your investigation with the World Wheel. However, the World Wheel can only be used once. Aural Heavens, are you certain you want to use it now?”
The Aural Heavens Elder looked towards the Warring Old Freak. Seeing the Warring Old Freak’s confident gaze, he immediately made up his mind and turned towards the four figures. “Fellows, let’s begin!”
The old men in the secret room immediately stopped hesitating. As they formed various seals, the dim room lit up. A wheel several metres across appeared out of nowhere, shining with dazzling light and radiation with a terrifying presence enough to bring chills to Immortal Exalts.
This was a sovereign god artifact, the World Wheel!
