Nine-Dragon Incense Burning! The Past Cannot Be Changed! The Future Cannot Be Reversed!

The old Daoist priest smiled but said nothing.

He glanced ahead from his cross-legged meditation position and immediately stood up.

Seeing this, Lin Chen followed suit.

Upal and Sheng Hui followed eagerly after them.

As they walked, they soon arrived at the very center of the stone platform.

Looking around, there is a square platform that is five centimeters higher than the surface of the stone platform.

It is entirely white and made of white marble.

Looking from top to bottom, from left to right, and from front to back, the platform and the stone stand appear as one.

"This is where Jiazun meditates," Sheng Hui exclaimed in surprise.

"There's nothing different about it!"

"Isn't it uncomfortable to sit here?" Upal said.

"It's too hard, won't it give me hemorrhoids?!"

Lin Chen: "..."

Sheng Hui: "..."

The old Daoist priest. "..."

Feeling speechless, Lin Chen shook his head slightly, glanced at the stone platform, and then began to examine it carefully.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see anything different about the platform.

Upal, however, was too curious and plopped down on it.

You won't believe it until you sit down!

The entire platform descended instantly, as if a button had been pressed, until it completely overlapped with the stone platform!

Buzz buzz buzz!

Immediately afterwards, the entire stone platform began to tremble slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The slight vibration made Lin Chen frown.

With his mental energy covering all directions, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

Look up!

The nine mountain peaks were trembling slightly, and wisps of black mist were rising from each of them.

The black mist, like Black Dragon, converged towards the center of the stone platform's sky.

Nine Black Dragon, intertwined with nine streams of black energy, instantly covered the sky with dark clouds, turning it pitch black!

In addition to the nine mountains moving, nine dragon-shaped pillars also began to emerge from the stone platform beneath Lin Chen's feet!

Visible to the naked eye!

The nine dragon-carved pillars were arranged in three rows, perfectly aligned, and appeared directly in front of the group!

And on the platform that had just sunk, a familiar object appeared out of thin air!

It is indeed the Seven-Colored Altar!

The old Daoist priest was shocked to see this:

"Nine-Dragon Corpse Burial, Nine-Dragon Incense Burning... This is... this is a sacrifice!"

Sacrifice?

Lin Chen's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a step back!

His intuition told him that something was wrong.

Seeing this, Upal quietly hid behind the crowd.

Watching the black mist gather towards the nine dragon pillars, he exclaimed excitedly:

"Damn, is this some kind of prayer to heaven? I feel a chill down my spine!"

Visible to the naked eye!

After the nine dragon pillars absorbed all the black energy, the sky cleared up again.

As if nothing had happened, the entire scene was completely silent!

Looking at the Seven-Colored Altar and nine dragon-carved pillars before them, everyone's expressions varied!

Especially the knowledgeable old Daoist priest, who walked step by step to the Seven-Colored Altar and said:

"The sixth altar has appeared, be careful..."

Lin Chen nodded.

Looking at the Seven-Colored Altar before him, he walked up to it with practiced ease.

Upon closer inspection, the entire altar surface appears unremarkable.

Inside, there was still Seven-Colored Soil, but nothing else.

If it weren't for those extra dragon-carved pillars, Lin Chen would have thought this altar was no different from the previous ones.

However, trusting his intuition, he still observed carefully.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Upal climbed up.

Without saying a word, he picked up a shovel and started digging:

"Get out of the way... Who cares what it is? We'll find out once we dig it up!"

Seeing this, Sheng Hui quickly joined in as well.

This left Lin Chen and the old Daoist priest speechless!

Soon!

After digging up the place, the two found nothing.

It's nothing but dirt!

Upal, covered in dust and dirt, said with a sullen expression:

"Pah! There's nothing in here... Where's the promised treasure? You're a liar!"

Lin Chen smiled without saying a word!

Each of the Seven-Colored Altar is different.

It's impossible for every altar to contain treasures; some altars may not contain any at all.

After all, in his view, each of the Seven-Colored Altar had a different meaning or special ability!

In short, their existence is meaningful!

As for its meaning, that's for people to discover!

Thinking of all this, Lin Chen walked towards the nine dragon-shaped pillars directly in front of the Seven-Colored Altar!

Upon closer inspection, these nine dragon-carved pillars are entirely white jade in color.

It is surrounded by a coiled dragon and looks extremely exquisite.

Moreover, each dragon has a different expression, so lifelike that they seem to be alive.

After glancing at it a few times, Lin Chen turned around and said:

"Senior, can you see clearly what's wrong with these nine dragon-carved pillars?"

The old Daoist priest shook his head slightly.

After examining the dragon pillar carefully for a few moments, he said softly:

"These are the Great Awe-Inspiring Heavenly Dragon of the Spirit Mountain Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, and there are actually nine of them... That's a bit strange!"

Great Awe-Inspiring Heavenly Dragon?

Lin Chen glanced at the dragon pillar, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

After looking at the first one, he looked at the others.

"Look! There are words here!"

But at that moment, Upal cried out!

Quite excited, he pointed to a dragon-carved pillar and said:

"What character is this... come and take a look!"

Sheng Hui was the first to arrive.

Despite his expertise in ancient scripts, he couldn't recognize a single one.

The reason is simply because these characters are crooked and twisted, like earthworms, and look extremely strange.

Lin Chen glanced at it a few times, but couldn't recognize a single word.

After the old Daoist priest saw this, he said:

"This is ancient script from the Spirit Mountain Grotto-Heaven... It seems to have been left behind by Jiazun, and it only contains twelve characters..."

The past cannot be changed, and the future cannot be reversed.

The past cannot be changed!

The future is irreversible!

These twelve characters may seem ordinary, but they exude an air of mystery!

Lin Chen frowned upon hearing this and said:

"What is Jiazun trying to tell us? What needs to be changed in the past? What needs to be reversed in the future? Does 'no way' mean there is no way, or does it mean there is no such magic?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Hui and Upal were completely stunned!

Faced with such a profound question, they were completely baffled!

Only the old Daoist priest nodded, as if he also understood the meaning.

With a calm expression, he glanced at the twelve characters and said:

"Your guess is correct... The Spirit Mountain Grotto-Heaven emphasizes the laws of past, future, and present... Perhaps I can guess why Jiazun was captured and brought here... If I'm not mistaken, that Transcendence being probably wants Jiazun's Reincarnation Law!"

However, as of now, it's still unknown whether this being succeeded or failed!

"And what about you, senior?" Lin Chen asked. "According to this logic, there must be a reason why you were captured, right?"

"I... this humble Daoist doesn't know!" the old Daoist priest replied truthfully.

"Besides possessing some brute strength, I truly don't know why I was captured and brought here. Moreover, I've lost my physical body and magical power, and am trapped in the Seven-Colored Altar..."

Honestly, if my master found out about this, he probably wouldn't acknowledge me as his master!
