As Meng Zhou's thoughts changed, the transparent moon mirror once again showed the lens to the third-floor altar.

Meng Zhou started looking back in time again.

In the lens, the three-story altar and the incense burner enshrined on it appear to be stationary, but in fact the traces of time shown in the transparent moon mirror are rapidly regressing.

At first, Meng Zhou was actually a little relaxed.

Because he had returned without success several times before, his expectations for this discovery had been lowered time and time again, and he was mentally prepared for no more gains.

"This discovery is already very good." Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

But soon, as an abnormal light appeared, Meng Zhou felt his heart suddenly being scratched hard.

"There is something abnormal."

"What is this?"

All kinds of thoughts were spinning rapidly in his mind, and his experience had allowed him to operate it skillfully.

In the transparent moon mirror, the rapidly rewinding image quickly slowed down and adjusted to the normal time sequence and rhythm.

I saw that the mouth of the incense burner, which had always been filled with faint spiritual light fluctuations, suddenly began to glow with ripples of light.

This sudden, rippling spiritual light appeared in this dark and silent place all year round, showing an illusory and confusing effect.

This spiritual light that rippled like waves did not spread to the surroundings. Instead, it quickly condensed into the void above the blood jade altar with the ripple effect.

This void is located directly above the mouth of the small incense burner.

Under Meng Zhou's gaze, the spiritual light condensed into a strange statue.

However, although this statue is strange, it is not unfamiliar to Meng Zhou at all.

Old friend.

Statue of Lihen.

Compared to those physical statues of first-, second-, or even third-order quality, this was just a shadow of the statue composed of illusory spiritual light, which actually made Meng Zhou's heart agitated even more.

Although it is composed of illusory spiritual light, or even just an afterimage of the past, compared to those physical statues of gods, it actually has a kind of purity.

At this moment, Meng Zhou thought of the statue of Lihen that he had glimpsed from the memories of those senior officials of the Lihen Sect.

"Could this be a light and shadow clone of the real statue of Lihen?"

Such thoughts flashed through Meng Zhou's mind.

Inexplicably, Meng Zhou thought of the ability of Yan Zhuang of Xingxiu Palace to use the secret method of Xingxiu Palace to project the shadow of the soul hundreds of thousands of miles away.

There is also the method of "distracting the mind and separating the soul" that he learned from the secret method inheritance of the Lihen Cult.

This is also the basis for his ability to control multiple Spirit Lotus clones now.

Since he can do similar methods and Xingxiu Palace can do it, it seems reasonable that this statue of Lihen can also do it.

And just when Meng Zhoujiu's pupils were trembling and his mind was agitated, the phantom of the statue of Lihen that emerged from the spiritual light at the mouth of the incense burner had already lowered its head and looked into the incense burner.

It looks very strange at this moment.

The parts above the waist are in the shape of a normal statue of Lihen, with three heads and three faces.

But the part from the waist down is like a stretched and deformed rubber band, getting smaller and smaller, and the end is directly connected to the mouth of the incense burner, and there is no trace of what a statue of Lihen should look like.

I saw it lowering its head to look inside the mouth of the incense burner, and then stretched out its hand into the mouth of the incense burner, as if it was salvaging something.

The arm was still normal in the void, but when it reached towards the mouth of the incense burner, its fingers, palms, wrists, and arms all rapidly deformed.

I saw this severely deformed light and shadow stir around the mouth of the incense burner for a few times, then retracted from the mouth of the incense burner, and returned to the shape of a normal arm, wrist, and palm.

I saw in its open palm, there were strange things of different sizes and colors.

Looking through the transparent moon mirror, it looks like a series of colorful and strange gemstones, each exuding brilliant and attractive colors.

The big one is about the size of a pigeon egg, and the small one is no bigger than a pea.

There are various colors, some are red, some are green, some are blue, some are orange...

Even for the same color, there are differences. For example, red can be pure bright red, red like burning flames, or dark red closer to blood.

After salvaging these "gems" of different colors and sizes, the phantom of the statue of Lihen opened its mouth to inhale.

Multiple "gems" of different colors in its palm quickly "vaporized" and were sucked into its mouth like vermicelli.

As these "gems" were inhaled, the shadow of the Lihen statue almost immediately underwent changes visible to the naked eye.

Not only is it more real, even through the passage of time and the transparent moon mirror, the impact on Meng Zhou as a bystander has become stronger.

More pure and more divine.

After doing all this, the phantom of the Lihen God Statue did not stay, and he made a gesture of taking the remaining "gems" that were not sucked by it, about 70% of which were left in his hands.

Then, the ripples of light were seen again, and the shadow of the statue of Lihen disappeared as silently as it came silently.

The altar returned to darkness.

The entire mountain heartland returned to darkness.

Looking at the bright moon mirror that had returned to darkness, Meng Zhou remained motionless for a long time.

Until the boiling and fluctuating thoughts calmed down again, the transparent moon mirror began to look back in time again.

Because the astonishing scene recalled this time was just an old thing seven years ago.

After making such an astonishing discovery, Meng Zhou wanted to go back even further in the past to see if there would be more discoveries.

Soon, when the time went back seventeen years, a similar scene appeared again in the altar area, which had remained unchanged all year round.

The shadow of the statue of Lihen once again floated out of the incense burner, and many "gems" were salvaged from the incense burner.

Suck some of it and keep some of it.

Apart from this similarity, Meng Zhou paid more attention to the differences.

Compared to the time seven years ago, the shadow of the Lihen statue that emerged from the spiritual fluctuations seventeen years ago was much dimmer.

Both the purity and the impact on him as a bystander through the transparent moon mirror were weaker.

The more obvious change is that the deformation area of ​​this statue of Lihen is not divided by the waist, but by the area above the waist and below the chest.

Keeping these circumstances in mind, Meng Zhou continued to trace further back.

Soon, the time was traced back from seventeen years ago to twenty-seven years ago.

A similar scene appeared again on the altar. A blurry, or in other words weaker, image of the statue of Lihen appeared above the altar.

Only the area above the chest of this statue of Lihen retains its appearance, while the lower parts are extremely deformed.

In this way, when Meng Zhou's soul was about to dry up, he had already traced back the time seventy-seven years ago.

——Special note: The maximum attack "distance" of the Time Flowing Water Sword is sixty-four years ago, which does not mean that the limit of time retrieval is also sixty-four years ago. As long as the soul and mental strength are strong enough, it can be traced back to more than a hundred years ago.

It's not a problem. Yanzhuang, who is at the peak of the sixth level of pill formation, has achieved such an achievement by relying on the power of his soul that he has accumulated for nearly two hundred years.

In this time review, the statue of Lihen is a shadow, and only the upper part of the shoulders barely retains the three-headed and three-faced appearance of the statue.

And, it's very vague.

There is no "purity" or "divinity" at all.

From the shoulders down, there is no trace of the statue of Lihen.

At this point, Meng Zhou stopped tracing further.

Firstly, the power of the soul has been exhausted and it is no longer sustainable. Secondly, through this retrospective restoration, Meng Zhou, who basically has an idea, feels that there is no need to go deeper.

Through the transparent moon mirror, Meng Zhou took one last look at the altar, without stopping for a moment, he immediately turned around and walked away.

I already know everything there clearly, and there is no need to investigate further.

Even if the real body passes, it is impossible to gain more things.

As for getting the contents out of the incense burner before the phantom of the Statue of Lihen descends?

This thing is obviously a great tonic for Yaya.

But this thought only briefly crossed his mind before Meng Zhou took the initiative to kill it.

…

Meng Zhou turned around and left, instead of going elsewhere, he fled towards the Aurora Cave again.

Although this discovery was subversive, it refreshed his understanding of the Five Realms and the Lihen Cult.

Even the understanding of the Constellation Palace has been fine-tuned accordingly.

But it also freed Meng Zhou of his imminent worries.

Seven years ago, seventeen years ago, twenty-seven years ago... until seventy-seven years ago.

Every ten years, he witnessed the changes in the shadow of the Lihen Statue eight times in a row, which gave Meng Zhou a very clear understanding of the situation here.

"This altar is a special resource place."

"Through the altar, the special resources are purified layer by layer, then concentrated and condensed, and stored in the incense burner."
