Meng Zhou's thoughts were spinning rapidly.

After a while, he made up his mind.

He first went to see Bai Zhi, and after a lot of hard work, he brought Bai Zhi, who was in a dazed sleep, into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Then he found the big turtle and the second turtle in the depths of the water, and put them into the animal bag.

Meng Zhou took all the items he could carry with him, and finally looked at the entire Aurora Cave through the transparent moon mirror.

In the bright moon mirror, the image of the Aurora Cave retreated rapidly, and soon it retreated to sixty-four years ago - which is also the limit that the Time Flowing Water Sword he currently controls can trace back.

At that time, Aurora Cave was still an original, hidden underground space.

While the time in the bright moon mirror is rapidly regressing, a wisp of sword light that seems real and illusory, flickering and flickering like a fish swimming upstream, stands in this area sixty-four years ago.

After a slight pause to gather momentum, the transparent moon mirror quickly recalled the image from sixty-four years ago. It was like going back to the top and began to "fall" rapidly.

Sixty-three years, sixty-two years... sixty years... fifty years... ten years...

Time is rapidly approaching from the past more than sixty years ago to the present.

At the same time, the sword light that rose to the top also fell rapidly.

The subtle and restrained sword light burst out in an instant, like a blazing sun that exploded to the extreme in an instant.

In the transparent moon mirror, wherever the light shines, the sword light reaches, and the images of the past time shatter like bubbles without leaving a trace.

When the image in the transparent moon mirror returned to the present moment again, the Time Flowing Water Sword that had been exerted to its extreme was finally exhausted.

After doing all this, Meng Zhou once again tried to trace back the time in the Aurora Cave area, but there was no trace left.

A vast expanse of white and clean.

The traces of him and Bai Zhi naturally disappeared without a trace.

After dealing with all this, Meng Zhou quietly escaped from the Aurora Cave.

After he disappeared, the Aurora Cave was still splendid with auroras.

The sources of the aurora formations on the rock wall of the dome look like bright stars from a distance.

Below is the mirror-like water surface, reflecting the flowing aurora and "stars".

…

Meng Zhou is cautious by nature and likes to prepare for the worst in everything.

The information that Yaya told when she returned this time cast a shadow over all the five regions.

No matter how dull a person is, in his position, he should realize its importance and danger.

Now that he already knew that there was such a hidden danger in the Tianqi Mountains, he could not bury his head in the sand and turn a blind eye to it.

After unexpectedly learning such information from Yaya, the first thought that came to Meng Zhou's mind was to leave.

Stay away from Tianqi Mountain and as far away from this "danger source" as possible.

But he soon realized that unless he immediately escaped from the Five Realms, this avoidance would be meaningless.

After some rational analysis, Meng Zhou decided to do some investigation.

Before the operation started, Meng Zhou made the worst plan - if it was too difficult, he would immediately run away and never return to the Aurora Cave.

Therefore, Meng Zhou took everything he could with him, erasing all traces of time in this area within the past sixty-four years. Traces related to him and Bai Zhi naturally also disappeared.

…

"Yaya, can you determine the location of the 'scent'?"

At this moment, Meng Zhou, who used Five Elements Escape, perfectly blended into the rocks and soil, escaping at great speed deep in the earth.

Yaya also didn't expect that the news she reacted to would cause her uncle to have such a violent reaction. Influenced by this, she couldn't help but become serious.

She did not give the answer immediately, but said: "Uncle, can you go around the cave a few times first?"

"Why?"

"It should be because the source is too far away from here. The 'aroma' is very light. You can't feel any obvious difference within a hundred miles of the cave."

As she spoke, she also specifically explained:

"I forgot about time and went back in time just now. I was just curious about the direction of the source..."

After Yaya's explanation, Meng Zhou finally came to his senses.

The way Yaya identifies the direction of the source is by judging the intensity of the "aroma".

The stronger the "fragrance" is, the closer the distance is;

On the contrary, it means the distance is farther.

Perhaps this is because it spreads too far, the "aroma" is already very thin, and the change in intensity is not obvious.

At least, being within a hundred miles of Aurora Cave is not enough for Yaya to make a clear judgment.

In order for her to make a clear and correct judgment, she must clearly distinguish the direction of the diffusion of shades.

The best way to do this is to take Yaya to different "collection points" in the shortest possible time.

Thinking like this, Meng Zhou's body quickly rose up and soon came off the ground, his body perfectly blending into the air.

Under the earth, the movement speed will be affected to some extent.

With the Aurora Cave under the earth as the center, Meng Zhou moved as fast as a flashing dot.

Yaya didn't speak anymore, but she turned into a little grasshopper and huddled quietly in Meng Zhou's arms. A pair of slender tentacles seemed to be constantly rotating, searching for antennas for a specific signal, round and round.

's turning.

Just like this, about an hour later, with the Aurora Cave as the center and continuously moving outwards, Meng Zhou finally heard Yaya's voice ringing in his heart again.

"Uncle, I found it, I found it!"

Meng Zhou also stopped in time and looked down at the grasshopper Yaya who had a small head emerging from his collar.

Her pair of slender tentacles no longer circled and moved, but pointed straight to the left.

No matter how her body and head turned, the direction of the tentacles did not change at all.

Meng Zhou looked in that direction and immediately understood.

The direction pointed by Yaya's tentacles is exactly the direction of the central area of ​​Tianqi Mountain.

"The source is in that direction." Yaya said.

After confirming the direction, Meng Zhou did not rush over as quickly as possible, but once again escaped deep into the earth and headed in the direction Yaya pointed.

As he gets closer and closer, Yaya will make slight adjustments to his direction of travel from time to time.

At first, Meng Zhou thought that the source of the target was in the geographically central area of ​​Tianqi Mountain.

But in fact this is not the case.

In the end, Meng Zhou stopped at a location more than two thousand miles east of the central area of ​​Tianqi Mountain.

He didn't move on.

Yaya, who was originally lying on his collar to guide him, had already been absorbed into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Just because as she gets closer and closer to the "source", Yaya's behavior becomes more and more abnormal.

Just like a gourmet encountering a peerless delicacy, he shows a strong and uncontrollable desire to eat.

This instinct even overwhelmed her reason little by little.

Seeing this change, Meng Zhou decisively brought Yaya into the sea of ​​consciousness, completely cutting him off from the "source".

Fortunately, after Yaya's continuous correction and fine-tuning, Meng Zhou, who has the entire outline of Tianqi Mountain in the "Deduction World", also basically knows the target direction.

After traveling alone for nearly a thousand miles, Meng Zhou stopped at a position more than two thousand miles east of the central area of ​​Tianqi Mountain and did not move forward.

Just because through the transparent moon mirror, he had "seen" that five or six hundred miles away to the east, there stood a peak that was not conspicuous in the Tianqi Mountains, neither high nor low.

But inside that seemingly ordinary mountain, there is actually something hidden inside.

There is a third-level spiritual land that is much larger than the Aurora Cave.

A dark, third-level spiritual land that is completely "embraced" within the heart of the mountain.

If it were just like this, this spiritual place would not be enough to attract Meng Zhou's special attention.

Although there are not many third-level spiritual lands in Tianqi Mountain, the absolute number is not large.

He didn't deliberately search for them. Along the way, through the transparent moon mirror, he had discovered many third-level spiritual lands hidden in the light and dark places.

If this was just a third-level spiritual land hidden in the dark and not discovered by anyone, although Meng Zhou would be surprised, he wouldn't pay too much attention at this moment.

The viewing range of the transparent moon mirror with a radius of 600 miles is certainly an advantage, but it also makes it difficult for him to focus on a specific location.

But just after the spiritual place in the heart of the mountain appeared in the transparent moon mirror and simultaneously imported the information into the "deduction world", Meng Zhou suddenly discovered that the "brightness" of the five domains had once again dimmed by two points.

And at the same time that the "interpretation world" was changing, the mysterious intuition given to him by his transparent Taoist heart also gave him a severe shock in his heart.

This is not a reminder.
