Yu Qiao and the others frowned deeply. All of them had encountered the Devil Wheel once or twice during their time here, and none had thought of this aspect.
"The Devil Wheel is indeed mysterious." Gu Wei said thoughtfully. "But why did you believe it was behind this place?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm not sure myself." Yun Lintian said gently. "Before I came here, I found a record about an artifact that could control the spatial element. I suspect it's this Devil Wheel."
"From everyone's description of it, it obviously has the ability to traverse through the space freely. This is similar to the record."
Gu Wei and the others had thoughtful expressions after listening to this.
"Do you have that record?" Yu Qiao asked.
"Yes." Yun Lintian nodded and took an ancient-looking scroll out before handing it to her.
Inside the scroll were ancient writings about an artifact with a wheel shape constantly shuttered from place to place.
Yu Qiao and the others glanced at it and felt incredible.
She rolled the scroll and said with a frown. "Even if it's true. How are we going to catch it? You must know that anyone who tries to approach it will be killed instantly."
Gu Wei and the others frowned deeply. Some of them had experienced the horror of the Devil Wheel, and they didn't think they could go near it.
"Since Little Brother Yun came for this, could it be you have a way to deal with it?" Gu Wei asked.
Everyone quickly looked at Yun Lintian expectantly.
However, Yun Lintian shook his head. "Unfortunately, no. I come here with the thought of checking it out."
Gu Wei and the others were immediately disappointed, but it was understandable.
"I truly admire your gut, Little Brother Yun. You actually came here without knowing what awaits you." Yu Qiao said with a sigh.
Yun Lintian smiled and said. "Aren't all seniors here the same? You came here to seek an opportunity, even though you know it's full of danger here."
Yu Qiao didn't say anything further and continued to eat.
Meanwhile, Lei Yongzheng looked at Yun Lintian thoughtfully. He was certain that Yun Lintian was hiding something from everyone here, but for what purpose?
While everyone was eating, a group of three people led by the black-masked woman arrived in the vicinity and secretly spied on Yun Lintian's group.
Their concealing technique was extremely good that no one in Yun Lintian's group noticed them.
"It's Lei Yongzheng. How did he become sober?" The petite woman said through a sound transmission.
"That person is very strong. We should report our Master." The black-robed man said with a serious expression, making the two women frown.
The man was usually calm and composed, even when facing their Master. However, his expression actually turned solemn for the first time, which meant the young man beside Lei Yongzheng was genuinely extraordinary.
"Is it necessary?" The masked woman asked.
The man responded solemnly. "He can wipe us out effortlessly by himself."
The petite woman's mouth opened in shock upon hearing this. One had to know that the three of them were already standing at the peak of the Divine Foundation Realm, yet the man actually said this.
However, she didn't think the man was talking nonsense. After all, he was known for measuring the enemy.
"So, we have to go back empty-handed?" The petite woman asked.
"Not really." The masked woman said. "Just watch."
The petite woman tilted her head to look at the masked woman in confusion but didn't ask anything further.
The three of them simply squatted there, watching Yun Lintian's group.
"They are here. Around ten kilometers behind us." Qingqing noticed the arrival of the three guests and secretly told Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian's expression didn't change in the slightest. He calmly sipped the wine and said. "Continue to keep an eye on them."
"By the way, which faction do you belong to, Little Brother Yun?" Yu Qiao asked. "Your master must be an extraordinary figure, right?"
Yu Qiao and the others were curious about Yun Lintian's background. Even in the ancient era, where the aura was several times abundant, they had never seen a young Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm practitioner like him.
Without a doubt, Yun Lintian's background must be highly extraordinary. Perhaps he was a descendant of an ancient clan they knew.
Yun Lintian smiled and explained. "I only have one master, and she's an elder of the Sky Throne Profound Academy."
"Sky Throne Profound Academy? I never heard of it." Gu Wei shook his head slightly.
"It's an academy established around three thousand years ago." Yun Lintian explained briefly.
"I see. This academy must be extremely powerful." Gu Wei said.
Rumble—
Just as Lei Yongzheng was about to ask something, the space above them suddenly trembled before tearing apart, leaving a huge spatial rift behind.
At the same time, a human head sized black wheel rushed out of the rift and flew into the sky, hovering above the Wandering Forest in the distance.
"Devil Wheel!" Yu Qiao and the others exclaimed in unison. They subconsciously released their divine energy to protect themselves.
Yun Lintian looked at the wheel carefully. Although the wheel was spinning, he could see an exquisite triangular pattern on it. At the end of the three edges, the words "Heaven," "Nether," and "Mortal" could be seen on them.
With the strong connection between him and the wheel, Yun Lintian was certain this was the Spatial Wheel he was looking for.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to grab it as he discovered the wheel seemed to come here for something. It was the soul energy inside the Wandering Forest.
"Why does it need to absorb the Soul Energy?" Yun Lintian asked in his mind.
"This is strange." Hongyue looked at the scene with a frown. "It's like it is about to give birth to a spiritual consciousness, and the Soul Energy is necessary for that process."
"Didn't you say the Spatial Wheel doesn't have a spirit?" Yun Lintian asked in confusion.
"…" Hongyue didn't reply as she was confused as well.
"What shall we do now, Little Brother Yun?" Yu Qiao asked.
