Princess Lily Arrives

Chapter 146: The Altar Across Time and Space

Lily and her team bid farewell to the merchant ship and continued their adventure. This time, they decided to go to the legendary mysterious island - the Island of Time and Space. Legend has it that there is an ancient altar on this island that can travel through time and space, which makes Lily very excited because she has been looking for a way to return to the modern era.

"I must succeed in crossing this time!" Lily said to herself, and her determination became stronger.

"Lily, can we really find that altar?" Xiaopang asked worriedly.

"Legendary things are usually hard to find, but with Xiao Ai's magic and everyone's wisdom, we will definitely succeed!" Lily said confidently.

Everyone was infected by Lily's optimism and nodded in support. So they followed the instructions on the map, passed through dense forests and cliffs, and finally arrived at the legendary island of time and space in the evening.

"This place is really mysterious." Feng Yang couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the scene in front of him.

The island was full of towering ancient trees and intertwined vines, and a strange atmosphere filled the air. Lily led everyone carefully through the jungle and finally found an ancient stone altar in an open area.

"This is the legendary altar of time and space!" Xiao Ai said excitedly.

The altar was engraved with ancient runes, and there was a round stone platform in the center, which seemed to be able to accommodate several people standing on it. Lily carefully studied the runes on the stone platform and found that some spells about time travel were engraved on it.

"Everyone get ready, we're about to start," Lily said to the team members.

Xiao Ai stood in front of the altar, raised the magic stick, and began to chant a spell. Suddenly, the altar emitted a dazzling light, the stone platform began to slowly rotate, and the surrounding scene became blurred.

"Hold on, we're almost across!" Lily reminded everyone loudly.

At this moment, a strong vibration shook the altar, and the light became more dazzling. Lily felt a strong attraction pulling her in, and the scene in front of her disappeared instantly, replaced by a strange world.

Lily opened her eyes and found herself standing in an ancient palace, with decorations and costumes all full of ancient atmosphere. She realized that she had successfully traveled to another time and space, while the other team members were nowhere to be seen.

"Looks like I need to figure out where this is first." Lily said to herself.

At this time, a man in gorgeous ancient costume came over. He looked very elegant, holding a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, and seemed to be a scholar in the palace.

"Who are you? Why did you trespass into the palace?" the man asked.

"I... I came from another time and space." Lily thought about how to explain, "My name is Lily, and I accidentally traveled here."

The man was obviously confused by Lily's explanation, but he did not show any hostility: "I am a scholar in the palace, my name is Mo Ran. Since you said you came from another time and space, why don't you follow me to see the emperor first, maybe he can help you solve this problem."

Lily nodded and followed Mo Ran into the main hall of the palace. The main hall was decorated ornately, and the emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, was listening carefully to the reports of the ministers. When he saw Lily, the emperor showed a hint of surprise.

"Miss, why did you come to my palace?" asked the emperor.

Lily briefly recounted her experience, and the emperor fell into deep thought. He was obviously curious about time travel, but he also understood the complexity of the matter.

"Since you come from another time and space, please stay in the palace for the time being until we find a solution." said the emperor.

In this way, Lily was arranged to live in a guest room in the palace and began her life in the ancient palace. Although she could not find a way to return to the modern times for the time being, Lily was not discouraged. She decided to adapt to life here first and take every opportunity to look for clues.

One day, Lily was walking in the garden of the palace when she heard a beautiful piano sound. Following the sound, she found a woman in a light and elegant long dress sitting in the pavilion playing the piano. The sound of the piano was melodious and seemed to tell a thousand-year-old story.

"Hello, the piano sounds so beautiful." Lily couldn't help but admire.

The woman raised her head, revealing a beautiful face: "Thank you, my name is Qingying, I am the zither player in the palace. You are the girl from another time and space, right?"

"Yes, my name is Lily." Lily smiled.

Qingying smiled gently: "I heard that you are looking for a way to return to the modern times. Maybe I can help you. There are ancient secrets hidden in my piano. Maybe I can find some clues."

Lily was overjoyed and quickly sat down next to Qingying. Qingying handed Lily the music sheet, which contained some ancient legends and spells.

"These piano scores are ancient secret books that have been passed down for thousands of years. It is said that they contain the secret of time travel." Qingying explained.

Lily studied the music score carefully and found that there were indeed some spells about time travel. She decided to solve these puzzles with Qingying and find a way to return to the modern era.

In the following days, Lily and Qingying studied the music score together, trying to unravel the secrets. Mo Ran also often came to help. He had a deep understanding of ancient literature and history and provided Lily with a lot of useful information.

One day, they finally found a record about the time and space altar in the music score. According to the record, the time and space altar can not only travel through time and space, but also summon powerful guardian spirits, but it requires specific spells and rituals.

"This is the clue we are looking for!" Lily said excitedly.

"But the altar spell is very complicated, and we need time to learn and practice it." Mo Ran reminded.

"No problem, as long as there is hope, we won't give up." Lily said firmly.

So, Lily, Qingying and Mo Ran started a new adventure, learning spells and preparing for the altar ceremony. They knew that this challenge would be more difficult, but also more hopeful.

Finally, on a dark and windy night, they decided to perform the altar ceremony in the back garden of the palace. The three of them followed the instructions on the music sheet, set up the runes and props for the altar, and began to chant the spell.

As the spell was chanted, the altar gradually emitted a faint light, and the air around it became tense. Suddenly, a strong light flashed, and a figure appeared on the altar. It was a tall and mighty guardian spirit.

"You have awakened me, what do you request?" the guardian spirit asked majestically.

"We need your help to unlock the secret of time travel," Lily said respectfully.

The guardian spirit pondered for a moment and nodded: "Since you are sincere in asking for help, I will tell you the answer. But to unlock the secret of time and space, you need to find three time and space stones and combine them on the altar."

"Where is the Time and Space Stone?" Qingying asked.

"They are scattered in every corner of this world, and you need courage and wisdom to find them." The guardian spirit explained.

Lily and her companions looked at each other with determination: "We will definitely find the Time Stone and unlock the secret of time travel!"

A new adventure begins, Lily and her team embark on a journey to find the Time and Space Stone. Unknown challenges and opportunities await them ahead, and this time, they will use courage and wisdom to meet all possible tests.

"Let's go, for the secrets of time and space!" Lily said firmly.

Everyone responded in unison and took a new step forward.
