Chapter 36: Uncovering the Shadow Organization's Origins
Elyra's curiosity about the Shadow Organization grew.
"Phoenix Sovereign, what's the Shadow Organization's true purpose?" Elyra asked.
The Phoenix Sovereign's expression turned solemn.
"The Shadow Organization originated from a ancient cult," she began. "Their founder, Arcturus, sought to exploit the Immortal Cultivation Realm's energy."
Arcturus's ambition knew no bounds.
"He discovered a dark artifact, amplifying his cultivation," the Phoenix Sovereign continued. "But the artifact's power corrupted him, fueling his desire for domination."
The Shadow Organization spread, recruiting corrupted cultivators.
"Their goal: harness the realm's energy to resurrect Arcturus's true form," the Phoenix Sovereign revealed.
Elyra's determination intensified.
"We must stop them," she vowed.
The Phoenix Sovereign nodded.
"First, we need to understand the artifact's secrets."
