The crumbling bricks and stones fell to the ground with a "cracking" sound, raising a cloud of dust that filled the air, adding a sense of desolation and decay to the entire Lingxu Valley, like a once glorious but now gradually fading painting.
Seeing this, the old man's expression turned solemn. His hands moved rapidly and rhythmically in the air like fluttering butterflies, while he chanted incantations and cast spells in an attempt to stabilize the energy within the valley.
The obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations echoed within the valley, as if in a silent battle against chaotic energy. Each syllable contained a mysterious and powerful force, seemingly weaving an invisible net, attempting to reorganize the disordered energy and restore its former peace and tranquility.
Apart from Chen Xiao, the other four also acted as loyal comrades-in-arms, unhesitatingly pouring their strength into Xi Xi's formation without reservation, fighting alongside her.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the fake S's attack was gradually suppressed, like the receding tide.
Taking advantage of this hard-won opportunity, Xi Xi launched an even more powerful attack, seemingly capable of tearing the sky apart.
This time, she skillfully combined her profound understanding of those mysterious runes with the secret arts of the primordial realm, like a peerless artist creating a masterpiece, forming a powerful force strong enough to destroy everything, rushing straight towards the fake S.
Under the fierce impact of this force, the fake S gradually dissipated like wisps of clouds in the wind, leaving only a chaotic energy fluctuation that echoed like a ghost in the valley. The fluctuation carried wisps of dark energy that lingered for a long time, as if telling of its past evil and resentment.
Xi Xi collapsed to the ground like a puppet that had lost its support, but the fragments of memory in her mind still twinkled like stars.
She knew in her heart that although the battle had temporarily come to an end, the path to finding the truth about her origins and her connection with the fake S had only just begun.
It was a road full of unknowns and mysteries, like an endless starry sky, profound and enchanting, waiting for her to explore and uncover it step by step, as if beckoning her to the depths of destiny.
Everyone gathered around Xixi like stars surrounding the moon, their eyes full of concern.
Chen Xiao crouched down and asked softly, "Xi Xi, you just said 'it was me,' what's going on? Did you remember something important?"
Xi Xi's eyes revealed confusion and bewilderment, like a traveler lost in a thick fog, unable to find the way forward, her eyes full of helplessness and hesitation.
She slowly sat up, gently shook her head, and said, "I don't know either. Some images suddenly flashed through my mind during the battle, and I felt like I had some kind of deep, intricate connection with them, but I haven't been able to piece it all together yet."
Ning Yu gently held Xi Xi's hand and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, now that we've come to Lingxu Valley, with so many mysterious runes and ancient powers here, they might be able to help you unravel the mystery of your memories."
The old man slowly approached, looking at Xixi with a solemn gaze, and said, "Young friend, the secret you possess is not simple. This power fluctuation related to it may bring unknown dangers to the entire Lingxu Valley. But since you have come seeking help, I will certainly lend you a hand."
Led by the old man, the group arrived at a quiet stone platform in the valley that seemed to be isolated from the world.
The stone platform was covered with even more complex, labyrinthine runes, faintly emitting a ghostly light, as if telling ancient stories. These stories seemed to have traveled through the long river of time, whispering softly in everyone's ears, as if recounting the past glory and legend of Lingxu Valley.
The old man said, "This is the Spirit Enlightenment Platform of Spirit Void Valley. It may help you delve deeper into your memories and find the truth, but the process may be risky. Are you willing to give it a try?"
Xi Xi nodded without hesitation. With a mix of trepidation and determination, she walked up to the stone platform and slowly sat down cross-legged.
The old man and the crowd sat around the stage and began to cast a spell, guiding the power of the Spirit Enlightenment Platform slowly into Xi Xi's body.
Xi Xi closed her eyes tightly, feeling fragments of memories surging into her mind like a raging tide. She struggled and searched in this torrent of memories like a drowning person.
The blurry images gradually became clearer, like the sun breaking through the clouds, and she saw a mysterious place, which seemed to be an ancient ritual site.
A mysterious atmosphere permeated the place, with both himself and the fake S present, but the surrounding scenery was filled with unknown symbols and strange lights, as if he were in a magical otherworld.
Some voices echoed in her ears, as if telling a long-ago secret, but she could not immediately understand their meaning.
Those sounds seemed to come from a distant time and space, carrying the vicissitudes of time, gently trembling in the depths of her soul, as if awakening her long-dormant memories.
As time went on, Xi Xi's expression grew increasingly pained, and her body trembled slightly, as if she were enduring immense suffering.
The crowd watched nervously from below the stage. Chen Xiao couldn't help but want to interrupt the process, but the old man raised his hand to stop her, indicating that interrupting at this time was like reining in a horse at the edge of a cliff. Once out of control, it would fall into an endless abyss, not only wasting all previous efforts, but also possibly causing an even more terrible disaster.
Just as Xixi felt she was about to be swallowed by the vortex of memories, suddenly, a bright light flashed, and all the fragments of memory seemed to be integrated by an invisible force, like the hand of a god.
She discovered a shocking truth—she was actually a protective force sealed within the fake S's body.
However, after the relentless erosion of time and a sudden change, the forces of the two became disordered and confused, leading to the current situation.
