A surge in cultivation

Shi Bo was shocked to discover that the water above him had suddenly turned blood red, and Song Wen's figure appeared out of nowhere.

Song Wen unleashed the Soul-Concentrating Spike technique once more.

The Divine Sense Blade pierced Shi Bo's mind without any hindrance. His Divine Sense was damaged, Shi Bo speed decreased sharply, and his control over the bronze mirror weakened considerably.

A flash of cold light!

Taking advantage of the opportunity Void-Breaking Blade slashed out, aiming at the bronze mirror above Shi Bo's head.

The bronze mirror was knocked away by the Void-Breaking Blade.

Song Wen closed in, his sharp, desiccated hand piercing directly into Shi Bo's chest.

"You..."

Shi Bo's eyes widened, and his body gradually lost its life force.

Song Wen placed his other hand on Shi Bo's head.

Soul Search Technique!

To Song Wen's disappointment, the Soul Search Technique failed.

His Divine Sense awareness was the same as Shi Bo's, both at the Late Golden Core Stage, so it was normal for his Soul Search Technique to fail.

Song Wen directly devoured Shi Bo's soul, and then began to devour his Essence Blood.

As the Essence Blood flowed in, a surge of magical Law Power rushed into Song Wen's body.

Song Wen was overjoyed and hurriedly activated the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art> to absorb this magical Law Power.

The external Law Power was quickly assimilated and flowed into his Dantian, causing Song Wen's aura to rise accordingly.

Suddenly, the Golden Core within his Dantian emitted a brilliant golden light.

The bottleneck at the Golden Core Early Stage collapsed with a roar, Song Wen's cultivation broke through to the Middle Golden Core Stage.

Shi Bo's magical Law Power was quickly drained.

After Song Wen released his Divine Sense to perceive the situation on the other side of the Shadow Gu, he took out Shi Zhong's body.

Under the attack of the Divine Sense Blades, Yu Jiao's soul was severely damaged, and she was surrounded by five Shadow Gu, with no possibility of escape.

Song Wen was worried that Shi Zhong's Law Power would be lost, so he decided to seize the time to absorb his Law Power first before dealing with Yu Jiao.

To save time, Song Wen did not perform a soul search on Shi Zhong, but instead directly devoured his Essence Blood and soul.

As Shi Zhong's Law Power surged into him, Song Wen's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds once again.

Gradually, Song Wen felt a stinging pain in his meridians, as if they were about to explode. His cultivation level had increased too rapidly, seemingly exceeding the limits of his body's capacity.

Song Wen gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and continued to absorb the Law Power within Shi Zhong's body.

Fortunately, Shi Bo's Law Power was completely devoured, there were no signs of damage to his meridians. At this time, Song Wen's cultivation was not far from the Late Golden Core Stage.

Song Wen estimated that if he could absorb the cultivation power of another Late Golden Core Stage cultivator, he should be able to break through to the Late Golden Core Stage.

After collecting the bodies of Shi Bo and Shi Zhong, Song Wen went to the depths of the sea.

Yu Jiao was already covered in wounds. If Song Wen hadn't refused to order the Shadow Gu to kill her, she would have died long ago.

Upon seeing Song Wen arrive, she hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Extreme Yin, spare my life, and I will serve you as my master."

Song Wen shook his head. "I wouldn't dare take a Golden Core elder from Limitless Island as a maid. Answer me one question, and I'll give you a quick death."

He stared at Yu Jiao and asked in a deep voice, "Why are the three of you chasing me?"

Yu Jiao's face was ashen. "If you're going to kill me, don't expect me to answer your questions."

"You don't know what's good for you, then I'll have to make you suffer a bit."

The Origin-Returning Sha Qi surged from Song Wen's body, binding Yu Jiao tightly like a ribbon, rendering her unable to move.

To Yu Jiao's horror, a Shadow Gu crawled into her mouth.

"Ah..."

Yu Jiao let out a series of shrill screams.

The Shadow Gu is gnawing at her organs.

The excruciating pain was unbearable for Yu Jiao.

"I said! Stop it now. I want to get the Origin-Returning Sha Qi from you."

"How did you know I possess the Origin-Returning Sha Qi?" Song Wen asked after stopping the Shadow Gu.

"I have cultivated a pupil technique called 'Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes'. All spiritual objects in the world have unique spiritual energy fluctuations, and the Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes can see these fluctuations. It is through this that I was able to see the Origin-Returning Sha Qi on your body," Yu Jiao said.

Song Wen looked somewhat surprised. "Is this 'Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes' really that miraculous? Even when I concealed my Origin-Returning Sha Qi within my body, you could still see it?"

Yu Jiao said, "The Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes have some X-ray vision, but it's not as miraculous as you think. The main reason I can see the Origin-Returning Sha Qi on you is that the amount of Origin-Returning Sha Qi on your body is huge and not fully refined, causing this fluctuation to overflow, which is why the Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes can detect it."

Upon hearing this, Song Wen suddenly realized that searching for the Five-Colored Gold on the seabed might have a miraculous effect on the Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes, and his interest immediately surged.

Do you possess the cultivation method for this eye technique?

Yu Jiao said, "Yes, it's in my storage ring."

Thank you!

Song Wen's figure transformed into a blur as he rushed towards Yu Jiao, placing his right hand on top of her head and beginning to cast the <Soul Search Technique>.

A moment later, the soul search ended.

From his memory, Song Wen learned that what Yu Jiao said was true.

As promised, Song Wen gave her a quick death.

While absorbing Yu Jiao's Essence Blood, Song Wen discovered that he had not absorbed any Law Power.

Yu Jiao did not cultivate the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>.

After collecting Yu Jiao's body, Song Wen arrived at the place where the Ghost King and the Silver Corpse were fighting.

Since Shi Bo and Shi Zhong died one after another, their Corpse Puppets lost control and stopped fighting, and were captured by the Ghost King and the Silver Corpse.

After putting away the four items, Song Wen traveled thousands of miles into the depths of the sea before emerging from the water.

A fire burned the three corpses to ashes, which were then scattered into the sea. Only then did Song Wen head towards the Extreme Yin Island.

When the Extreme Yin Island was almost in sight, Song Wen suddenly stopped.

After a moment's hesitation, he decided not to return to Extreme Yin Island for the time being.

Song Wen was unsure whether Yu Jiao and the other two had revealed their ambush to anyone else. To be on the safe side, he decided to observe for a while before returning to Extreme Yin Island.

Changing course, Song Wen arrived at an uninhabited island hundreds of miles away.

A Xiao Shan was carved out of the underwater rock formation of the island to serve as a temporary cave abode.

After taking out the storage rings from Yu Jiao and the other two, Song Wen began to take stock of what he had gained.

In Yu Jiao's storage ring, Song Wen discovered a cyan Jade Slip Jade Slip, which contained the cultivation method for the 'Spirit-Seeking Treasure Eyes'.

The key to mastering this eye technique lies in refining and integrating the eye of a Demon Beast called the 'Abyss Sea Butterfly' into one's own eyes.

In addition, the three people's storage rings contained over a hundred Superior Spirit Stones, six Profound Yin Stones, ten Netherworld Stones, and fifty Baleful Crystals; as well as seven Law Treasures: three low-grade flying swords, one mid-grade soul banner, one low-grade bronze mirror, and two low-grade Corpse-Nurturing Coffins.

This soul banner belongs to Yu Jiao. It was originally used to seal the Ghost King, who was in the mid-stage of the third rank. It contains a large number of Yin Soul, which is just right for the Ghost King to improve his cultivation.

The two Corpse-Nurturing Coffins were used by Shi Bo and Shi Zhong to raise corpses.

Song Wen Wenzheng lacked Corpse-Nurturing Coffin of the Law Treasure level, and he planned to keep two Corpse-Nurturing Coffins for his own use.

As for the other Law Treasures, he stored them all in an empty storage ring, intending to sell them after the storm had passed.

Song Wen used the Nether Corpse Cold Flame to reforge the two Corpse Puppets, changing their appearance and aura.

In addition to these treasures, Song Wen also obtained Jade Slips containing the three men's Alchemy insights, which were also of considerable value.

After checking the three storage rings, Song Wen began to cultivate in seclusion to stabilize his cultivation level.
