Foggy_Echoes

Fifteen-year-old Shenlong was once hailed as a cultivation prodigy, destined for greatness. However, at age ten, his rapid rise came to an abrupt halt, his cultivation inexplicably stagnating. Once admired, Shenlong was soon labeled as “trash” and shunned by his clan, his engagement broken off in disgrace.

Refusing to accept his fate, Shenlong trained in solitude, pushing his limits. During a deadly encounter with a Storm Wolf, his blood spilled onto his Qin pendant, triggering a miraculous event. The pendant, which had been absorbing his energy since his cultivation stalled, unleashed an ancient legacy, granting Shenlong powerful cultivation techniques and alchemy skills.

Amidst his transformation, a shocking truth emerged—Shenlong was not his parents’ biological son. With new abilities and burning questions about his origins, Shenlong embarks on a journey to reclaim his honor, prove his worth, and uncover the mysteries surrounding his past and the enigmatic Qin pendant.

Sovereign : Rise of the Forgotten Prodigy

After leaving the mysterious mountain, Shenlong's journey took him deeper into the unknown lands beyond the sect's influence. He traveled tirelessly, honing his skills and growing stronger with each passing day. The power of the pendant had unlocked new techniques within him—methods of cultivation far beyond what he had learned in the sect.

But with great power came greater challenges.

One day, while passing through a remote village, Shenlong heard rumors of a place known as the Celestial Void, a dangerous realm where only the strongest cultivators dared to venture. It was said that within the Void, time flowed differently, and those who entered could cultivate for years in what seemed like only a few days in the outside world. However, many who entered never returned.

The Celestial Void was exactly the kind of challenge Shenlong needed. If he was going to prepare for the battles that lay ahead, he had to push his limits beyond what he thought possible.

The village elder warned him of the dangers, but Shenlong was undeterred. He had faced death before, and now with the power of the pendant guiding him, he was more determined than ever to unlock his full potential.

Arriving at the entrance to the Celestial Void, Shenlong could feel the immense pressure emanating from the portal before him. The energy was chaotic, unpredictable, but within it, he sensed an opportunity. This place would test every aspect of his strength, endurance, and willpower.

Taking a deep breath, Shenlong stepped into the Celestial Void, the world around him shifting as he crossed the threshold.

Inside, the landscape was otherworldly—mountains floating in the sky, rivers of molten energy flowing through the air. The environment itself was hostile, forcing Shenlong to constantly be on guard. But this was exactly what he needed.

For what felt like months, Shenlong trained within the Void, battling powerful spirit beasts, enduring the harsh conditions, and pushing his cultivation to new heights. The pendant's power acted as a beacon, guiding him through the trials and helping him tap into deeper reserves of strength.

Yet, as Shenlong grew stronger, he began to feel a presence watching him—a force far older and more dangerous than anything he had encountered before.

The true test of the Celestial Void was just beginning.
