Actually, Fang Hong was initially stunned before he recognized the place.
Because there had been significant changes since the last time he was there.
Though its layout and location were still the same, the floor-to-ceiling arched windows were still inlaid with colored glass, depicting religious illustrations through which soft light filtered, casting a glow on the somber figure of a Holy Elephant behind it.
The elephant was likely a Saint of Ouli, but Fang Hong did not recognize it; only then did he realize that it was not that the room had changed, but that the timeline had been pushed back much further in the past.
Back then, this was merely a Meditation Room used for the repose of monks within the Holy Temple, but judging by the surrounding furnishings, it was not low in standard.
Before Fang Hong saw the Holy Elephant, there were two shadows.
One tall, one short.
The two of them had their backs to the light, making it impossible to see their faces.
