The Liquid of Life and the Forgotten Dimension
Xiao Yan's body cracked like ceramic, his golden-purple blood evaporating into a fading mist. In front of him, the Dragon Salvation Sect prostrated themselves in fear. Their leader, a blue-eyed old man, held out an ancient scroll.
"In the *Forgotten Dimension*, there is a spring of the **Liquid of Life**—the pure blood of the first Creator Dragon. That is the only way to save you," he whispered.
Xiao Yan nodded faintly. "Take me there."
But before they could move, **Xue's shadow** appeared in the sky, surrounded by the remnants of the Qingyang Sect.
"Do you think you can escape?" he laughed. "I know everything. That Liquid of Life… will be mine!"

**Journey to the Dimension Gate**
Xiao Yan, Li Feng, and the sect headed towards the summit of the *Skyfall Mountain*, where the dimension gate was hidden. On the way, they were attacked by the shadow creatures sent by Xue.
"I can't fight for long," Xiao Yan hissed, the Cosmos Sword in his hand shaking unsteadily.
Li Feng blocked the attack with his blood-stained sword. "We're almost there!"
At the top of the mountain, a dimensional gate in the form of a giant mirror with a dragon bone fence appeared. But Xue was already waiting in front of it.
"Too late," he whispered. His hand touched the mirror, and the gate opened.

**Forgotten Dimension**
They were thrown into a parallel world: purple skies, crystal trees, and a lake reflecting the past. In the middle of the lake, a small island with an **ancient temple** stood.
"The Elixir of Life is there," the sect leader said. "But only those with pure blood can take it."
Xiao Yan stepped into the water, but his reflection in the lake suddenly came to life—a perfect clone of himself, but with black eyes.
"Be careful!" Li Feng shouted. "That's your *soul shadow*!"

**Battle at the Dragon Temple**
Inside the temple, Xiao Yan found an altar containing a **golden cup** filled with golden liquid. But Xue was already there, empty hands reaching for the cup.
"This is mine!" she roared.
Xiao Yan charged, Cosmos Sword vs. Xue's dark sword. But his body was growing weaker. With the last of his strength, he grabbed the cup and took a sip of the Elixir of Life.
His blood lit up, the cracks on his body began to heal. But Xue laughed.
"You think that's the solution? Look!"
The mirror in the temple showed another **parallel dimension**: there, Xiao Lin and Xue were still alive, practicing their swords in the forest.
"Every action here… changes another dimension," Xue whispered. "And there… *I* will be the victor."

**Clone from Another Dimension**
The Elixir of Life spilled onto the temple floor. The recovered Xiao Yan stared at the mirror—in the parallel dimension, his black clone awoke, smiling at him.
"You're not the only one," the clone whispered, disappearing into the mist.
Xue disappeared, leaving behind a threat: "The game has just begun."
In the real world, Xiao Yan's body was stable, but in the parallel dimension… **Black Xiao Yan** had awakened.
