Amid a range of mountains where spiritual energy was sparse and few people ventured,
Song Wen set up a Five-Element Concealment Formation inside a Cave.
Then, he took out Wu Yuan's remains and began devouring the cultivation within them.
A vast and pure surge of spiritual power, like a rushing torrent, merged into Song Wen's body together with Wu Yuan's essence blood.
This foreign spiritual power shared the same origin as Song Wen's own. It instantly blended with the spiritual power already within him, then circulated through his meridians before finally gathering in his dantian.
