As the pill entered his mouth, that feeling of exhilaration returned.
At the same time, the System's text interface appeared before his eyes.
[Host's choice is completely correct, System mission complete. Reward obtained: a pair of High-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasures - Wind Fire Wheels!]
Wind Fire Wheels...
Di Xin swallowed, and peered into the System space.
This treasure was known to all, and Di Xin's expectations were high.
In an instant, two dull black rings, about the size of volleyballs, suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the System space, lying quietly next to the Sky-Howling Dog.
This?
These are the Wind Fire Wheels?
System, you call these Wind Fire Wheels?
Where's the promised wind?
Where's the fire?
Di Xin was stunned by these two black wheels. If he hadn't been certain the System wouldn't lie to him, he would have mistaken them for mere iron rings from their appearance.
He didn't know how to use them. The Wind Fire Wheels on TV and in movies were always fiery, blazing with light and lightning.
But if they were on fire, wouldn't they burn his feet?
Di Xin had many questions, but he couldn't dwell on them. He began to fully feel the energy contained within the pills spreading throughout his body, sensing his Origin Power and his entire being undergoing drastic changes.
At this time, True Person Taiyi might have discovered the Wind Fire Wheels were missing. Grand Tutor Wen's friend might be coming from afar again.
However, Di Xin couldn't concern himself with that anymore. What was coming would come.
It was only a matter of time.
You might be able to hide things from everyone for a while, or from some people for all time, but you could never hide things from everyone for all time.
Therefore, Di Xin absolutely had to seize this rare opportunity to increase his cultivation realm as much as possible.
When the energy of the first pill was about to be depleted, he resolutely took out a pill that could replace ten years of cultivation and swallowed it.
Then came the third Spirit Pill, which could replace ten years of cultivation...
Chaoge City, in the night sky.
A figure streaked across the dense night like a meteor, hovering above Chaoge City.
This person was dressed in white, with white hair and a white beard, appearing immortal and dignified. However, his complexion was extremely grim, his face shrouded in gloom, and his sharp gaze swept over the countless buildings and courtyards below.
A moment later, a black figure flew up from Chaoge City and quickly reached the white-bearded elder. "Master, why have you come in person? There have been no new developments here. If there is any news, your disciple will report it immediately."
The elder looked at the young disciple, his chest heaving a few times. He opened his mouth, but for a moment, he couldn't speak.
That's right, he had an unspeakable secret!
The white-bearded elder was the returning customer who had come to Chaoge for the second time... True Person Taiyi.
The saying "trouble finds you even when you're sitting at home" seemed to describe him perfectly.
After losing the Wind Fire Wheels, he had sensed their location and found his way back to Chaoge again.
But that was as far as he could get.
The Wind Fire Wheels had fallen into Chaoge, but he couldn't pinpoint their exact location. So, he had summoned his disciple, Golden Cloud Boy, who had arrived in Chaoge earlier.
Golden Cloud Boy, unaware of the situation, thought True Person Taiyi had come solely about the Universe Ring. His words made True Person Taiyi extremely awkward.
Having learned from the first time, he had actually lost another pair of Wind Fire Wheels, capable of divine speed.
"You go ahead and attend to your duties. Your master needs to see someone!"
True Person Taiyi did not answer directly but nodded gently.
Golden Cloud Boy, suspecting nothing, bowed deeply to True Person Taiyi before his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
The next moment, True Person Taiyi's figure flashed, and he flew directly towards the Royal Palace.
"Uncle-Master Taiyi... Greetings, disciple!"
As he approached the Royal Palace, Wen Zhong suddenly appeared and greeted True Person Taiyi.
For the past two days, to protect the Royal Palace, he had often guarded this sky silently in the night. Even in the darkness, it was very easy to detect True Person Taiyi's presence.
Moreover, he had sensed True Person Taiyi's arrival in Chaoge, but as long as the latter didn't head towards the Royal Palace, he had no intention of revealing himself.
After all, his relationship with True Person Taiyi was not exactly harmonious.
"Wen Zhong, I sensed a surge of Origin Power within the Royal Palace. I suspect there are Daoist Sect members hidden within, and I've come to investigate."
Although Wen Zhong had paid his respects, True Person Taiyi knew in his heart that Wen Zhong was here to stop him.
"Oh, there's been a surge of Origin Power in the palace?"
Wen Zhong was also very surprised upon hearing this. His focus had been entirely outside the palace before, and he hadn't paid attention to the situation inside.
After all, constantly releasing one's Divine Sense would lead to rapid consumption, requiring a significant amount of time to recover to peak condition. Unless absolutely necessary, no one would waste their Divine Sense like this.
"Indeed, it should be in that direction."
True Person Taiyi observed their expressions and saw that Wen Zhong genuinely seemed unaware. He casually pointed, and a white beam of light shot out from him in an instant, tearing through the night sky and landing directly on a magnificent building below.
"The Ancestral Temple? Uncle-Master Taiyi senses Origin Power fluctuations coming from the Ancestral Temple? Can your senses be wrong, Uncle-Master?"
Seeing where the white light landed, a look of surprise flashed in Wen Zhong's eyes. That place was too sensitive; Great King Di Xin was inside.
"Hmph, you don't believe this old Daoist?"
True Person Taiyi snorted coldly. "I'm going to take a look. Anyone even slightly suspicious will not be let off."
Even now, True Person Taiyi still felt embarrassed to mention that the Wind Fire Wheels were also missing.
"It's unlikely, there's only the Great King in the Ancestral Temple," Wen Zhong muttered. He couldn't believe Origin Power fluctuations would come from the Ancestral Temple.
True Person Taiyi's expression darkened. "No matter who it is, even if it's Di Xin, I have to go and see."
As they were speaking, two streaks of escaping light suddenly stopped beside them. It was Zhao Gongming and Lady Qiongxiao.
"Fellow Daoist Wen, this humble Daoist also senses Origin Power emanating from the Ancestral Temple."
Lady Qiongxiao spoke directly, confirming True Person Taiyi's words.
Wen Zhong knew that since those two said so, it must be correct. Lady Qiongxiao belonged to his own Jie Sect lineage, making her one of them, while True Person Taiyi was from the Chan Sect lineage.
However, Di Xin was an outsider to them. He had no connection with Zhao Gongming and Lady Qiongxiao. Even if he was their Great King, given how many treasures they had lost, this connection could be completely disregarded.
There were really Origin Power fluctuations in the Ancestral Temple?
Wen Zhong was filled with doubt for a moment. This seemed utterly impossible.
Suddenly, he looked as if he had just woken from a dream and said to the three present, "Wen Zhong remembers now. Perhaps those Origin Power fluctuations were indeed emitted by the Great King. Fellow Daoist Zhao, the Spirit Pill you gave me, I have already given it to the Great King. Perhaps after he consumed the pill, he generated Origin Power."
