The Dragon Sword Heir
Episode 20: Mystic Valley.

"When we enter the Mystical Valley must be carefully," Hua Ling warned. "This is an area full of challenges and mysteries. We should be wary of anything that might be here."

Li Tian nodded in full understanding of the danger that might lurk within the Mystical Valley. Carefully, they entered the obscured area where the flower was located.

But the further they entered the valley, the more magical the aura felt. The surroundings turned darker and strange sounds were coming into their ears. Unorthodox insects and forest beasts also appeared watching their every move.

Li Tian held his sword tightly ready, fending off any attacks that might come. He remembered the lesson given by Hua Ling and relied on his elemental strength to protect himself.Keep walking without hesitation, Li Tian and Hua Ling were ready to pass through every obstacle with a steadfast heart.

In the darkness of the Mystical Valley, they felt the presence of supernatural entities invisible to the eyes of ordinary humans. Strange sounds filled the air and wind surrounded them with a cold and gentle touch.

"Walk carefully,” Hua Ling whispered in a weak voice. "Energy evil may be roaming here."

They continue their journey moving carefully and alert to the circumstances around them. The dim light from the faint moonlight, translucent through the trees made the atmosphere even more mysterious.

Suddenly they were shocked by the sound of quick steps behind them. When they turned around, they saw a white-clothed woman floating in the air with long unraveled hair and eyes that glittered with magical light.

"Go from here!" said the woman in a hoarse voice. "Don't you dare enter this Mystic Valley!"

Li Tian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. "We came with good intentions. We're looking for the blue god flower."

The woman raised one eyebrow. "The flower of such gods can only be found by those who have sincere hearts and honest intentions. But make no mistake, great danger awaits those who do not stop entering this territory."

Hua Ling approached the woman carefully. "We understand the risks."

The woman looked at Hua Ling sharply trying to judge the truth in her words. After a while he nodded.

"alright. If you really want to look for the blue god flower, follow me the woman said as she walked into the thick bushes.

Li Tian and Hua Ling followed him, remaining vigilant against any possible threats appearing in this forest. They walked carefully, through a narrow path that only one person could pass through. The sound of the wind rustling and the rustling leaves make the atmosphere more tense.

Finally, the woman stopped her steps and pointed to an open area in the middle of the forest. There they saw a beautiful blue god flower blooming among the green grass.

"The flower of the god is there," said the woman in a hoarse voice. "But, careful. This flower has a very powerful magical power. Those who desire power or have evil intentions will be entangled by this flower and face dire consequences."

Li Tian nodded in understanding the warning. He stared at the blue god flower in astonishment, he had never seen anything so beautiful before.

"You may take the blue god flower as a sign of your success, the woman continued. "But remember never to use his powers for personal purposes. This flower is a gift from a god and is supposed to be used for a noble purpose."

After obtaining the blue god Flower, Li Tian returned to the Blue Sky Sect and parted ways with Hua Ling.

A few days later, Li Tian met again with Hua Ling who had already helped him obtain the blue god flower.

Hua Ling smiled happily as she looked at Li Tian. "Li Tian, we're finally reunited. What are you going to do with that Blue God Flower?" hua Ling asked enthusiastically.

Li Tian smiled with satisfaction. "Thank you for your help, Hua Ling. Thanks to your help, I managed to obtain the Blue God Flower. This is thanks to our hard work together" Li Tian said sincerely.

Hua Ling smiled proudly. "I'm glad to be able to help you, Li Tian. Congratulations on your success!" he said with passion.

Li Tian nodded. "Now I have to bring this Blue God Flower to my Master in the Blue Sky Sect. I'm sure my Master would be very happy to hear that."

Li Tian's teacher, Master Li Feng, seemed to be sitting at his desk reading an old book. Li Tian and Hua Ling approached and saluted Master. "My teacher has managed to obtain the Blue God Flower as you command,” Li Tian said respectfully.

Master Li Feng smiled and put down his book. "Li Tian, you've done a good job. I'm proud of your ability Master said in a soft voice.

Then Li Tian thrust the Blue God Flower at Master Li Feng. The teacher observed the flower carefully. Her face beamed as she looked at the rare beauty of the Blue God Flower.

"You managed to obtain this Blue God Flower with your own efforts and intelligence. You are the best disciple that the Blue Sky Sect has,” Master Li Feng said proudly. "The Blue God Flower will be useful to increase our spiritual power and protect our sect from outside threats,” he added.

Li Tian felt happy and proud for the praise from his Master. He knew that his struggle was not in vain.

Master Li Feng continued. "In the next few days there will be a big meeting in the World of Persilatan. The Blue Sky Sect would be introduced to the other sects to strengthen the bonds and brotherhood in this world. Your job is to represent our school in the meeting.”

Li Tian nodded seriously. "I will do my best to represent our school, Master Li Feng."

Master Li Feng smiled with satisfaction. "Very good, Li Tian. But you need to remember in this meeting you not only represent our school, but also must protect our honor and reputation. The world of Persilatan is a place filled with competition and intrigue so you should always be vigilant."

Li Tian nodded and smiled. "Sure, Master Li Feng. I will remain vigilant and strive to safeguard the honor of our school."

Master Li Feng nodded in satisfaction. "Well now go and prepare yourself for the great meeting. Don't forget to finish all your work and practice before you leave."

After giving the Blue God Flower to his teacher, Li Tian went back to meet Hua Ling. Li Tian was still curious as to why the girl was helping him and who he really was. Li Tian could not believe that Hua Ling, the masked girl was only a guardian of nature.

Li Tian met Hua Ling at the edge of a beautiful lake. The twilight sun illuminated the atmosphere with a dazzling golden light. Hua Ling sat on a boulder, wearing a pure white outfit that collided with the natural beauty around her.

"You're coming again?" hua Ling muttered with a faint smile, her eyes full of mystery looking at Li Tian.

Li Tian sitting nearby was still trying to find an answer to his question. "Hua Ling, why are you helping me? What exactly is your relationship with me?"

Hua Ling looked at Li Tian gently, her hand grabbing the flower Li Tian had given her earlier. "Li Tian, I chose to help you because I feel there is an invisible bond between us. I feel a responsibility to protect you."

Li Tian felt even more confused, yet there was something that made his heart beat faster upon hearing Hua Ling's words. "There's a bond between us? What mean?"

Hua Ling sighed, realizing that it was time to reveal the secret that weighed down her heart. "Li Tian I'm not just an ordinary nature guard. I am a nature spirit bound by your destiny."

Li Tian was speechless, his eyes looking at Hua Ling in surprise. He never imagined that behind the gentle and beautiful figure of Hua Ling, there was a huge secret that enveloped him.

Hua Ling continued "The spirit of nature as I was chosen to maintain the harmony of nature and protect the individuals who have their fates closely connected with nature. However, do you remember the guardian spirit that you released a while ago and taught you the power of the elements?"

"Is this your true form? Why did you come back when you were free?" li Tian asked sincerely.

Hua Ling stretched out her hand, gently touching Li Tian's cheek. "Didn't I promise to always help you?"

Li Tian felt his heart filled with warmth from Hua Ling's touch.

Seriate.
