Traveling through thousands of years, I only love you

With the conspiracy shattered, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan's life in the valley returned to peace again. However, the gears of fate did not seem to stop turning, and new challenges were quietly approaching.

One day, while gathering herbs in the dense forest behind a valley, Li Lingyuan stumbled upon a hidden cave. A mysterious aura hung around the cave, and interwoven vines seemed to guard its secrets. Curious, Li Lingyuan cautiously entered the cave.

The cave was dimly lit, but the walls seemed to be engraved with strange patterns and ancient text. Li Lingyuan approached and observed these characters, words she had never seen before, yet for some reason, they felt strangely familiar. She continued deeper into the cave until she suddenly came upon a crystal stone emitting a soft glow. Images seemed to flicker within the crystal. The moment Li Lingyuan reached out and touched the stone, a powerful force swept her consciousness into it.

In a whirlwind of consciousness, Li Lingyuan saw a series of images. One depicted a woman in ancient costume, whose features bore a striking resemblance to his own. Beside her stood a man whose face was identical to Xiao Yi's. They were seen laughing and playing in the palace, but then the scene shifted to a war erupting within. The two were separated in the chaos, and the woman's eyes were filled with despair. The final scene froze on the woman leaping into a mysterious formation, seemingly performing some kind of sacrificial ritual. The man arrived too late, and could only watch as the woman vanished.

Li Lingyuan awoke from this bizarre vision, shaken to her core. She couldn't understand what these images meant. Could they be memories from her and Xiao Yi's past lives? And why were they appearing in this cave? Filled with doubt, Li Lingyuan returned home and told Xiao Yi what she had seen and heard.

Xiao Yi frowned upon hearing this. He knew full well that this world held many mysterious powers and unknown histories, and that these images might not be accidental. To find out the truth, he decided to go deeper into the cave with Li Lingyuan.

When they returned to the crystal, Xiao Yi attempted to touch it, but was repelled by a powerful force. Li Lingyuan took his hand, and together they touched the crystal. This time, they simultaneously entered a fantasy world. More scenes unfolded before them. It turned out that in their previous life, they were a loving couple, forced apart by a palace power struggle and an inexplicable curse. To lift the curse and save her lover and the people of the world, the woman sacrificed herself, unlocking a formation that transcended time and space. This formation seemed to be the reason Li Lingyuan had traveled through time and space to this era.

After emerging from the illusion, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan fell into deep thought. They realized that their love was not just a meeting in this life, but a continuation of a predestined relationship from a previous life. However, the shadow of the curse still seemed to loom over them, and they must find a way to lift it, otherwise, they might face separation again.

At this time, strange phenomena began to appear in the valley. The once fertile land became dry and cracked, crops withered, and streams gradually dried up. The villagers fell into panic and turned to Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan for help. They knew that this might be a sign of the curse's resurgence.

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan began searching ancient texts for clues about the curse. After exhausting nearly every available text, they finally discovered a related account in an ancient tome of witchcraft. The tome mentioned that the curse was linked to a mysterious plant called the "Blood Moon Flower," and that only by finding the flower and performing a ritual at a specific time and place could the curse be lifted. However, the tome didn't specify the flower's specific location, stating only that it grew at the intersection of yin and yang and was surrounded by three guardian beasts.

In search of the Blood Moon Flower, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan embarked on a difficult journey. Following clues from ancient texts, they traveled across mountains and rivers, consulting countless hermits and wise men. Along the way, they encountered numerous difficulties and obstacles, including precipitous canyons, ferocious beasts, and misty swamps.

Once, while traversing an ancient forest, they encountered a swarm of giant spiders, spitting poisonous silk and attacking them. Xiao Yi wielded his sword, severing the silk and protecting Li Lingyuan. Li Lingyuan, in turn, employed some simple spells he had learned to repel the spiders. In the fierce battle, Xiao Yi was unfortunately bitten by a spider, and the venom quickly spread. Distraught, Li Lingyuan used a dagger to open Xiao Yi's wound, sucked out the venom, and bandaged him with herbs. Fortunately, with some effort, Xiao Yi's injury gradually healed.

After months of searching, they finally arrived at a place that matched the description in the ancient texts. Mist and clouds shrouded the area, and a strange blood moon shone from the mountaintop, creating a mysterious atmosphere. At the foot of the mountain, they spotted three enormous guardian beasts, resembling qilins, emanating a powerful aura.

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan knew this was the final challenge. They cautiously approached the guardian beast, trying to find a way to break through. However, the guardian beast sensed their approach, let out a deafening roar, and pounced on them.

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan fought side by side. Xiao Yi displayed his exquisite swordsmanship to deal with the guardian beast, while Li Lingyuan used the surrounding environment to set traps to try to trap the guardian beast. In the fierce battle, they gradually figured out the guardian beast's attack patterns and found some flaws.

After a thrilling battle, they finally succeeded in defeating the guardian beast. Exhausted, they continued their journey to the top of the mountain. In a hidden cave, they found the Blood Moon Flower. The flower was incredibly vibrant, its petals radiating a strange light, as if imbued with boundless mystical power.

However, just as they were about to pick the Blood Moon Flower, a mysterious figure in black robes appeared. He let out a sinister laugh, "Do you think you can lift the curse so easily? This is all fate, and you cannot escape it."

Xiao Yi gripped his sword tightly and looked at the man in black robe warily, "Who are you? Why are you stopping us?"

The black-robed figure slowly removed his hood, revealing a wrinkled face. A strange light flickered in his eyes. "I am the guardian of the curse. You sowed the seeds of evil in your past lives by disobeying fate. You cannot change this in this life."

Li Lingyuan took a step forward and said, "Our love is true. No matter what curse it is, we must break it."

The black-robed man sneered, "Come on, you ignorant child." He then unleashed a powerful spell and attacked them. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan fought back, using all their might to engage in a desperate battle.

During the battle, the black-robed man's magic was extremely powerful, and Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan gradually fell into a disadvantage. But their faith in their hearts supported them, and they cooperated with each other to find the black-robed man's weaknesses.

Finally, they discovered that the black-robed figure had a brief moment of weakness when casting a powerful offensive spell. Xiao Yi seized this opportunity and attacked the black-robed figure with all his might, while Li Lingyuan cast a spell to distract him. With their combined force, the black-robed figure was repelled and severely injured.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Yi quickly plucked the Blood Moon Flower. Seeing this, the black-robed man tried to stop him, but it was too late. "You will regret this. Once this curse is broken, it will trigger an even greater disaster." With that, the black-robed man disappeared.

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan ignored the black-robed man's words and returned to the valley with the Blood Moon Flower. At a designated time and location, they performed a ritual, placing the Blood Moon Flower within an ancient formation. As the light shone, the curse seemed to gradually dissipate, and the valley returned to life. The land became fertile, and the streams began to flow again.

The villagers cheered and expressed their gratitude to Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan. However, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan were not happy at all. They kept thinking about the words of the man in black robes. They didn't know whether breaking the curse would really lead to a greater disaster, but they knew that as long as they were together, they could face anything together.

In the days that followed, they helped the villagers rebuild their homes while keeping a close eye on the surroundings, preparing to face the unknown challenges that might come. Their love, through these trials, grew stronger, like a beacon in the valley that never went out, illuminating their path forward.

As time went by, everything seemed calm, but in the distant sky, some ominous signs appeared, as if foreshadowing that a bigger storm was about to come. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan stood high in the valley, gazing into the distance, their hearts filled with worry and uneasiness, but they held hands tightly, conveying strength and courage to each other.

One night, Li Lingyuan suddenly had a nightmare. In the dream, darkness enveloped the entire world, people struggled in pain, and Xiao Yi was walking further and further away in the darkness, and she could not catch up. Li Lingyuan woke up from the dream, her clothes soaked with cold sweat. Xiao Yi noticed her abnormality and hugged her in his arms, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Li Lingyuan hugged Xiao Yi tightly, "I dreamed that darkness swallowed everything. I was so afraid of losing you."

Xiao Yi gently stroked her hair and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream. We have overcome so many difficulties and will not be defeated easily."

However, this dream weighed on Li Lingyuan's heart like a huge rock. She knew that this might be a sign and they must be prepared.

The next day, they decided to consult ancient texts again, hoping to find clues about the potential disaster. In a long-forgotten astronomy book, they discovered some records linking celestial anomalies with disasters. The book mentioned that the use of the Blood Moon Flower could disrupt the balance between heaven and earth. Under certain astronomical conditions, it could trigger a rift in spacetime, allowing the invasion of dark forces.

Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan realized the seriousness of the problem and began to look for ways to deal with the space-time rifts and dark forces. They visited masters everywhere and asked various mysterious organizations and sects, but the answers they got were not satisfactory.

Just when they were feeling desperate, a mysterious old man appeared before them. The old man claimed to be from an ancient immortal sect. He told Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan that in order to stop the invasion of the dark forces, they needed to find five spirit beads scattered throughout the world. These five spirit beads represented the power of the five elements. Only by gathering and fusing them could they seal the rift in time and space and stop the dark forces.

After thanking the old man, Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan set out on their journey to find the Lingzhu. Following the clues provided by the old man, they headed in different directions. During their search, they each encountered different challenges and opportunities.

Li Lingyuan arrived at a blazing mountain range, scorching hot and swirling with lava and flames. Deep within these mountains lay the legendary Fire Spirit Pearl. She navigated scorching air currents, dodging erupting lava, and made her way toward the center of the mountain. Along the way, she encountered a fire phoenix. Guarding the path to the Fire Spirit Pearl, it attacked Li Lingyuan. Using her acquired magic and wisdom, Li Lingyuan fought the phoenix. She discovered that the phoenix responded to a specific rhythm, so she crafted a simple instrument from nearby materials. Playing that rhythm calmed the phoenix and successfully retrieved the Fire Spirit Pearl.

Xiao Yi journeyed to a mysterious watery region, teeming with turbulent currents and teeming with dangers. The Water Spirit Pearl lay at the bottom of these waters. Diving beneath the surface, Xiao Yi encountered various water monsters, attacking them. Relying on his advanced martial arts and underwater combat skills, he battled them. In a cave beneath the water, he found the Water Spirit Pearl, but this also triggered a trap. In the nick of time, Xiao Yi cleverly exploited his surroundings, deciphered the trap, and escaped with the Water Spirit Pearl.

As they searched for other spirit beads, time slipped away. The dark forces seemed to have noticed their actions and began sending dark messengers to interfere with them. These dark messengers would attack them when they were most vulnerable, causing them considerable trouble.

But Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan never gave up. With their love for each other and their unwavering faith, they overcame difficulties time and time again. After a long period of hard work, they finally collected all five spirit beads.

When the five spirit beads converge, they radiate a dazzling light, the power of the five elements intertwined. Xiao Yi and Li Lingyuan carry the spirit beads to the location where the space-time rift may appear, preparing to seal the dark forces. However, the dark forces also attack with all their might at this moment, and a war that will determine the fate of the world is about to break out.
