Gifting Gu

Song Wen walked out of the cave abode and looked at Zhu Yin standing in the mess. A slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Zhu Yin, thank you."

Song Wen's expression was extremely sincere.

He had always believed that his relationship with Zhu Yin was merely a transaction.

However, when Zhu Yin stood guard for him outside the cave abode for three whole years, a warmth couldn't help but arise in his icy heart.

Zhu Yin turned her head and scanned Song Wen with her Divine Sense. After sensing that Song Wen had already advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, she said calmly.

"You once saved my life, and my act of protecting you is merely to repay that past kindness."

In the sound of Zhu Yin, Song Wen sensed a subtle sense of alienation.

Song Wen's lips parted slightly, but he choked up and couldn't utter a word.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle and somber.

Song Wen gave Zhu Yin a deep look. Seeing that she still looked calm, he felt a little lost, but also inexplicably relieved.

Song Wen smiled faintly, dispelling the turmoil in his heart.

"What are your plans next?" Song Wen broke the silence.

Zhu Yin's lips twitched, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.

"Naturally, I will continue cultivating, and then find an opportunity to kill Yinshuo to avenge my father and my clan."

After saying that, she turned to look at Song Wen and asked.

What about you? What are your plans for the future?

Song Wen said, "Currently, the Sea of Disorder is embroiled in endless war between the human and demon races, making it an unsuitable place for cultivation. I plan to leave this place."

Zhu Yin frowned slightly, her voice full of confusion.

"Leave the Sea of Disorder? Do you intend to cross the Endless Desert to the other side?"

The Endless Desert is vast and boundless, its Spiritual Qi depleted; deep within the desert, there are also terrifying natural disasters such as fierce winds and sandstorms.

Even Nascent Soul Cultivator are not entirely confident that they can An Ran cross the Endless Desert.

Even if one manages to cross the Endless Desert by sheer luck, there is a high probability that their cultivation will regress due to prolonged exposure to a place devoid of Spiritual Qi.

Song Wen gazed at the distant horizon, a look of reminiscence on his face.

"To be honest, I originally came from the Heavenly Origin Continent, not from the Sea of Disorder."

"That's impossible!" Zhu Yin's eyes widened slightly, her face full of disbelief.

"You've only just advanced to the Nascent Soul; before that, you were merely a Golden Core cultivator. How could you possibly traverse the Endless Desert? Unless..."

Zhu Yin suddenly thought of another possibility and said in a suspicious tone.

"Could it be that you are someone who has possessed another body and cultivated again?"

Song Wen shook his head. "I'm not someone who has possessed another body to rebuild my cultivation."

He turned around, staring intently at the Zhu Yin, his face serious.

"I have another way to reach the Heavenly Origin Continent. If you are willing, I can take you away from the Sea of Disorder. If you insist on revenge, you can return to kill Yinshuo after you have cultivated successfully on the Heavenly Origin Continent. Perhaps, I can lend you a hand then."

Zhu Yin lowered her gaze, lost in thought.

After a long silence, she said softly.

"Thank you, Extreme Yin. However, I will not go to the Heavenly Origin Continent."

"Why is that?" Song Wen asked, puzzled. "The Sea of Disorder is vast, yet also small. If you want to improve your cultivation, you will inevitably have to interact with other Nascent Soul Cultivator. Once Yinshuo learns of your whereabouts, he will definitely hunt you down."

Zhu Yin said, "I understand what you're saying. However, Yinshuo is Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator and the leader of a sect. If I were to confront him head-on, I would only have a slight chance of winning if I cultivated to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm."

"To cultivate to the peak of the Nascent Soul realm is incredibly difficult. Without fortuitous opportunity, even hundreds of years of cultivation might not be enough. Back in the Limitless Sect, I secretly gathered information about some Elder Ruins. After leaving this place, I plan to explore these ruins, hoping to find fortuitous opportunity within them to help me quickly improve my cultivation."

"Moreover, the human and demon races are currently at war. Although Yinshuo is Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator, he may still be injured in this war. Perhaps I can find an opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill him."

Song Wen sighed softly. Seeing that Zhu Yin had made up her mind, he stopped trying to persuade her.

With a thought, two tiny Gu Worm flew over from afar.

"You've seen this Gu before; it's called the Shadow Gu. Although its combat power isn't high, it excels at concealment and reconnaissance, and can extend the range of a cultivator's Divine Sense. I'll give you these two Gu Worm; they might provide you with some assistance."

After Nascent Soul to the Nascent Divine Sense, the Shadow Gu can only extend its Divine Sense perception range by 50%.

With the help of the Shadow Gu, Song Wen can now sense a distance of 150 miles in radius. This is slightly less than the 200 miles of Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, but still significantly stronger than that of Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator.

Furthermore, the Shadow Gu is adept at concealing its presence. If it hides in a secluded place, it remains motionless. Without careful investigation, even Nascent Soul Cultivator may find it difficult to detect.

Song Wen erased the soul imprints from the two Shadow Gu.

They suddenly became ferocious, baring their teeth menacingly, seemingly wanting to attack Song Wen, their former master.

However, as Song Wen released his powerful cultivation aura, the Shadow Gu was instantly suppressed and became docile.

Song Wen raised his hand and Law Power to wrap two Gu Worm, then threw them to Zhu Yin.

Thank you.

Zhu Yin accepted the two Gu Worm without any hesitation.

She summoned the blood-red coffin and placed the Gu Worm inside.

Then, a shuttle-shaped spaceship, several feet long, appeared in front of her; it was the Star Raft Divine Ark, which had not yet been activated.

"I promised you this ship after I reached the Nascent Soul stage."

As she spoke, she began to erase the Divine Sense imprint on the Shenzhou spacecraft.

"Wait a minute," Song Wen hurriedly called out to her.

"With my strength and methods, this ship is of little use to me; you should keep it."

Zhu Yin hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and put the Star Raft Divine Ark back into her storage ring.

Then, the two fell silent once again.

After a long while, Zhu Yin slowly spoke.

"I should get going."

Song Wen looked at Zhu Yin and nodded gently.

The Zhu Yin rose from the ground and slowly ascended into the air.

"Zhu Yin ..." Song Wen suddenly called out.

Zhu Yin stopped in mid-air, turned around and stared at Song Wen, waiting for Song Wen to say something next.

Their eyes met, but they remained silent.

"Goodbye."

Zhu Yin suddenly accelerated and sped away into the distance.

"Live well, perhaps we'll meet again someday."

Song Wen's voice came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yin didn't linger for a moment and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Song Wen gazed at the drifting white clouds in the sky for a long time, then sighed and turned back into his cave abode.

He has just entered the Nascent Soul Realm and needs some time to consolidate his cultivation.
