Plot Overview:
Shadow of Sky follows the journey of Lu Chen, a former elite agent of the Fuyun Division, whose fate takes a dark and dangerous turn after he destroys a powerful magic sect’s spell intended to summon gods. In doing so, he triggers a curse of black fire that burns away his cultivation, leaving him powerless. For ten long years, he lives in exile, hiding away from the world, haunted by his past actions.
Everything changes when his master, Tian Lan, reappears with a vital mission: Lu Chen must infiltrate the Kunlun Sect to track down a rogue undercover agent who once worked for the magic sect. To gain access to the Kunlun Sect, Lu Chen is assigned the role of an assistant at Baicao Hall, a prestigious place dedicated to herbal medicine and alchemy.
As he immerses himself in the world of Kunlun Sect, Lu Chen faces the difficult task of keeping his true identity a secret while unraveling the mysteries surrounding the Five Elements Divine Disk—a powerful artifact said to hold the key to restoring balance between the realms. The more he delves into the complexities of the sect, the more conspiracies and hidden dangers he uncovers, with enemies from both the magic sect and even within Kunlun itself seeking to thwart his mission.
