Chen Fei sat cross-legged, his breathing calm yet powerful. The air around him crackled with residual energy, remnants of the spiritual storm that had just raged through his meridians. His body felt heavier, yet paradoxically lighter—his flesh denser, his bones infused with an unseen strength. He had broken through.
The words of the mysterious voice still echoed in his mind. “You have passed the test. You are now my successor.”
Successor?
Chen Fei clenched his fists, feeling the immense power coursing through his veins. This was no ordinary inheritance. It wasn’t merely a technique or a manual—it was a transformation, a legacy imprinted into his very being. The runes that had once flickered in the air were now carved into his soul.
A figure materialized before him, an ethereal presence draped in ancient robes. The spirit of the secret realm master—an entity long since departed, yet lingering through sheer will.
“The path you walk is perilous,” the specter said, its voice neither warm nor cold. “But you have chosen it. And so, you must bear its burdens.”
Chen Fei remained silent, absorbing the weight of those words. The realm had tested him, broken him, and now, it offered him power. But at what cost?
“The inheritance I bestow is incomplete,” the spirit continued. “Only through your own understanding will you refine it. Do not rely solely on my teachings. Forge your own path.”
The figure raised its hand, and a surge of golden light shot into Chen Fei’s forehead. His mind flooded with knowledge—runes, cultivation techniques, martial insights far beyond anything he had ever encountered. His body trembled under the sheer influx of wisdom, but he gritted his teeth and endured.
Moments later, the figure began to fade.
“I have done all I can. Whether you rise to the heavens or fall into the abyss will be your own doing. Farewell, successor.”
With those final words, the spirit dissipated, leaving only silence in its wake.
Chen Fei exhaled slowly, steadying his mind. His heart pounded with newfound clarity. He had stepped onto an even greater path, and there was no turning back.
Rising to his feet, he looked ahead. The secret realm was collapsing, its purpose fulfilled. He had to leave—he had much to do, and his journey had only just begun.
