Returning to a Familiar Place

The wheel of light formed by the Longevity Wheel turned slowly, driving a vast, oceanic reservoir of Dharma power through an orderly circulation.

Gao Xian's divine sense had fused with the Longevity Wheel. Through its rotation, he could faintly sense the auras of the other four divine wheels.

Two of those auras were within the Five Qi Grotto-Heaven, while the other two lay outside it. One of them was incomparably far away.

Sensing the auras of the other four wheels through the Longevity Wheel was one thing; determining their precise locations was another. It was like seeing distant mountain peaks and stars in the sky.

A person could determine the direction and approximate distance of a mountain peak, but could not estimate the distance between himself and the stars.

The Universe Wheel was like that. Gao Xian could sense its sharp metallic aura, yet could not determine its location. As for the other Azure Splendor Wheel, it should be somewhere within Ming Province.

The good news was that neither the Azure Splendor Wheel nor the Universe Wheel had been refined by anyone else. Otherwise, the sensing would have been mutual, rather than him alone activating his aura to sense them.

Gao Xian sighed inwardly. Sure enough, things were not so simple!
