Cultivation Online novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572 - Curse

After waking up, Yuan quietly left the bedroom and went outside the immortal caves, but it was still completely dark outside. Clearly, he'd woken up earlier than usual.

He then walked to the small pavilion located right next to the immortal caves and took a seat underneath it.

"Just who am I…?" He mumbled in a low voice.

Although he has pondered about his purpose in life many times throughout his life, he has never once questioned his identity. However, ever since he started having these dreams, he found himself questioning his identity more and more often.

'Who are my parents? Why did they abandon me?'

'Am I really the reincarnation of a powerful cultivator? Or am I merely going crazy?'

Yuan sat underneath this pavilion for an unknown amount of time, silently pondering about his own identity and his reason for existing.

Eventually, the sun began rising.

Ding~

When the sun just peeked over the horizon, Yuan heard a beautiful and familiar-sounding noise coming from somewhere not too far away from him, causing him to snap out of his daze.

"This sound… Someone is playing the zither?" Yuan subconsciously stood up and began following the direction of the sound.

After walking for a few minutes, he arrived in a secluded area behind the immortal caves, where a young woman was sitting on top of a large boulder playing with a wooden zither on her lap, her eyes completely closed.

Ding~

Yuan didn't immediately approach this young woman, as he was afraid of disturbing her, so he stood there quietly, enjoying the young woman's zither performance that was incredibly skillful, comparable to even Fei Yuyan from the Dragon Essence Temple.

The song lasted for a little over five minutes, and once the young woman stopped her performance, she turned to face Yuan's direction, but her eyes remained close.

"Who's there?" She asked in a gentle and soothing voice.

"Sorry, did I disturb you? My name is Yuan."

"Yuan? I am not familiar with your name. Are you new here?"

"Yes, you can say that."

"Then how may I help you? You have been standing there for a while now."

"Your music brought me here. You're playing the zither, right? This is my first time seeing someone playing the zither, and I doubted my hearing at first, so I came here to confirm my suspicions."

"You are familiar with the sound of a zither? How unusual."

"Yes, somewhat. I also enjoy playing the zither, after all."

"Eh? You also play the zither?" The young woman expressed surprise after learning this information.

"Yes." Yuan nodded even though he only touched the zither in Cultivation Online.
