Chapter 1: The Forgotten Legacy
Yuan exhaled slowly, his spiritual energy circulating through his meridians as he sat cross-legged beneath the ancient cherry blossom tree in the Myriad Heaven Realm. Petals drifted around him like pink snow, but his mind was focused—sharper than ever.
Ever since reaching the Spirit Emperor realm, his senses had grown stronger, almost too strong. Every breeze, every fluctuation in spiritual energy—he felt them like whispers against his soul. Yet, something had changed. Deep within the system interface, a mysterious quest had appeared.
[Hidden Quest: Legacy of the Shadow Disciple]
Unearth the secrets of an ancient cultivator who walked the path of shadows.
"Shadow Disciple…" Yuan murmured. This wasn't the first time he had encountered strange, hidden quests in Cultivation Online, but the energy surrounding this one felt… off.
A voice broke his concentration.
"Yuan, are you still meditating?" Xiao Hua's soft tone carried a hint of concern. She floated beside him, her silver hair shimmering beneath the moonlight.
"I'm fine," Yuan reassured her, rising to his feet. "But I just got a hidden quest—something about a Shadow Disciple. Have you heard of it?"
Xiao Hua frowned, her crimson eyes narrowing. "The Shadow Disciple is no ordinary title. Thousands of years ago, there was a cultivator who mastered the art of shadow manipulation. He could move unseen, strike without a trace, and even the strongest sects feared his power. But his legacy vanished after he betrayed the Heaven's Gate Sect."
Yuan's heart quickened. This was no ordinary quest.
"Where do we start?"
Xiao Hua hesitated for a moment, then said, "There is a forbidden region—The Abyssal Void. It's said his spirit lingers there. But be careful, Yuan… No one who entered has ever returned."
A shiver ran down Yuan's spine, but he smiled. "When have I ever backed down from a challenge?"
