An Extra Father

The Immortal Essence surging within Xu Hai's body began to weaken, while Song Wen's aura gradually stabilized.

Song Wen's eyes suddenly snapped open, flashing with a sharp light, as if lightning were surging within them.

The Lingxu Dao Immortal Peak has been achieved!

Next, it will be time to break through to the Profound Immortal Yuxiao.

If he succeeds one day, he will be considered a powerful figure in the Immortal Realm and could establish his own sect.

However, once he broke through to the Profound Immortal Yuxiao, he had no further Cultivation Practice Method.

When Gu Que and Jing Chen descended to the mortal realm, perhaps considering that it was unlikely they would ascend directly to the High-Heaven Immortal Domain Immortal Realm their ascension to the Immortal Realm, the people who sent them down to the High-Heaven Immortal Domain taught them the cultivation methods of the Lingxu Dao Immortal Realm: the Corpse King Reincarnation Art and the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art.

Song Wen thus obtained the cultivation content of the Lingxu Dao Immortal Realm in the "Corpse King Reincarnation Art", but the subsequent Cultivation Method are still nowhere to be found.

Although he already knew that Dao Lord Slashing Dust Wang Tianyi and Nine-Thunder Profound Lord within the Purple Star Immortal Sect were practicing one of these two Cultivation Method, Song Wen did not know which one it was.

Moreover, these two are extremely powerful, and even if Song Wen Wenxiu has reached the Profound Immortal Yuxiao, he would probably have difficulty dealing with them. Obtaining the Cultivation Method from these two will likely not be an easy task.

As for switching to other Cultivation Method, Song Wen currently has no such consideration.

Whether it's switching to righteous Cultivation Method or corpse Cultivation Method, it means abandoning the practice of "cultivating both righteous and evil paths." If that happens, Song Wen's strength will be reduced by at least 20-30%, or even more.

Song Wen shook his head, banishing the jumbled thoughts from his mind.

There's no rush to consider those things right now.

He circulated his surging immortal Immortal Essence while simultaneously suppressing his leaking aura.

Once he had calmed down, Song Wen dispelled the concealment formation and left the bottom of the lake.

Outside, it was already broad daylight; it was the next morning.

Song Wen arrived outside the Cave where Jiang Wanyue was, and Jiang Wanyue's voice immediately came from inside.

"Kui'er has successfully possessed the body and is currently cultivating Secret Method to change her appearance and erase Yuan Yuze's remaining aura. Please wait a moment."

Song Wen looked up and glanced at the distant horizon.

He had already devoured the souls of Yuan Yuze and Xu Hai.

The Cloud Pill Sect must have already noticed, and it's only a matter of time before they trace it back to Northwind City.

Although this place is millions of miles away from Northwind City, it is not absolutely safe. It would be best to leave as soon as possible.

"Madam, please hurry, this place is not safe to stay any longer," Song Wen said.

"I understand. It won't take long," Jiang Wanyue said.

Song Wen found a secluded corner outside the cave and sat down to wait quietly.

Xiao Yuankui's progress was faster than Song Wen had expected; just over half an hour later, the formation in the Cave suddenly disappeared.

Jiang Wanyue and Xiao Yuankui emerged from the Cave.

Xiao Yuankui possessed Yuan Yuze's body, but his appearance had changed drastically. He bore no resemblance to Yuan Yuze whatsoever, and even his height and build had changed significantly.

While Song Wen was sizing up Xiao Yuankui was also scrutinizing Song Wen.

"You... you are Gu Huang!"

Xiao Yuankui's expression changed drastically, and he quickly hid behind Jiang Wanyue.

"Mother, it was him! He's the one who framed me, causing my body to be destroyed and Gou Yi to be killed."

Jiang Wanyue's expression darkened, and she said coldly.

"Kui'er, show some respect. He is your... Uncle Gu!"

"Uncle!?" Xiao Yuankui asked, surprised and uncertain.

Jiang Wanyue nodded, her expression softening and her tone becoming gentle.

"It's also my fault for not explaining things clearly to you in time. Your successful possession and rebirth were all thanks to your Uncle Gu. Your soul was also given to me voluntarily by your Uncle Gu. It can be said that without your Uncle Gu, you would not have been reborn."

"Moreover, the physical body you now possess is far more talented than your original one. Furthermore, your cultivation has broken through a minor realm due to the possession, so you could say it's a blessing in disguise."

"As for your old grudge with Uncle Gu, let's just let it go and not mention it again. From now on, you must respect your Uncle Gu as you would your mother."

After saying that, Jiang Wanyue flew to Song Wen's side, her face full of apology.

"Gu Huang, I hope you won't hold it against Kui'er. He just possessed a body and is unaware of the situation, which is why he offended you."

"It's alright," Song Wen said.

Jiang Wanyue smiled gently and reached out to straighten Song Wen's not-so-sharp collar.

Seeing the intimate scene between the two, especially Jiang Wanyue's gentle and virtuous demeanor, which was completely different from her usual aloofness, Xiao Yuankui, standing several feet away, was speechless with astonishment.

"You... you... Mother, what about Father..."

Upon hearing Jiang Wanyue's face immediately turned frosty.

"Don't mention Xiao Wenyan to me! Do you know that after your physical body was destroyed, I sent him a message, hoping he would take action to avenge you and save your soul? But he remained unmoved, and to this day he hasn't even asked you a single question. If you had truly placed your hopes on him, you would probably have already been annihilated!"

"Can..."

Xiao Yuankui wanted to say more—his physical body was destroyed, but it was all the work of Gu Huang in front of him.

Jiang Wanyue immediately interrupted.

"Stop talking! Otherwise, don't blame me for disowning you as my son."

"Yes!" Xiao Yuankui replied in a low voice, revealing a sense of helpless compromise.

"Madam, please don't be angry," Song Wen said gently. "Yuan Kui has just been reborn after possessing another body. This upheaval has inevitably shocked him. Furthermore, he's unaware of the situation, so his reaction is understandable. You don't need to be so harsh!"

"Gu Huang, you're so considerate."

After Jiang Wanyue finished speaking, she immediately shouted at Xiao Yuankui behind her.

"Why aren't you coming to see your Uncle Gu right now!"

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Yuankui finally flew closer, about two zhang away, and bowed to Song Wen with clasped hands in a salute.

"I... my nephew Xiao Yuankui pays my respects to Uncle Gu."

"No need for formalities," Song Wen waved his hand, "But this is not a place to linger. We should leave as soon as possible."

"That's exactly right," Jiang Wanyue said.

"Yuan Kui has just possessed a body and is probably not yet able to control the Immortal Essence within him. Why don't you take my spaceship?"

As Song Wen spoke, a spaceship several tens of feet long appeared in the air.

"Kui'er, get on the ship." Jiang Wanyue pulled Song Wen and boarded the spaceship.

Although Xiao Yuankui was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow.

As soon as he landed on the deck, he saw:

Jiang Wanyue nestled in Song Wen, her eyes still filled with deep affection. The two, like a loving couple, were heading towards their room on the Ship Pavilion.

Xiao Yuankui suddenly remembered that he had called "Gu Huang" "father" in order to save his own life.

Now, his words have come true!

That "Dad" has become a reality?!
