Ghost Fog Spreads
Time flows like water, and the past is gone forever.
Six years have passed in the blink of an eye.
The once lifeless island has been revitalized.
The Cloudflying Beast became extinct, but new birds of prey migrated in.
The plants took root anew, new trees sprouted, and the island turned green.
Wild animals roam through the newly grown forests and meadows.
The island, destroyed by the vortex of Spiritual Qi, is now teeming with life.
Even if cultivators are powerful enough to destroy everything in the world, in the eyes of this world, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, they are just passersby in the long river of time.
The night was as dark as ink.
The island was shrouded in boundless darkness.
Suddenly.
High above, dark clouds rapidly gathered, thick and oppressive, completely obscuring the sky.
The majestic power of the heavens gathered within the dark clouds.
An overwhelming sense of oppression, as if the sky were about to collapse and the earth were about to split open, descended upon the small island that had just begun to recover.
Every inch of land, every leaf, and every wild beast on the island trembled under this terrifying divine power.
"Purple Palace Divine Thunder!"
"Fall!"
A low, soft voice echoed across the island.
Suddenly, a sharp bolt of lightning ripped through the darkness, like the eye of the sky suddenly opening, shooting out a chilling light.
The night was torn open, instantly illuminating everything around as if it were daytime.
"Snap!"
The thunder roared deafeningly.
A bolt of lightning, glowing with purple light, struck the island.
"Boom!"
Purple lightning struck the center of the island, causing it to tremble violently as if struck by a giant hammer.
The purple light burst forth instantly, rapidly sweeping in all directions.
Wherever it passed, trees, rocks, or even Demon Beast were reduced to dust by the power of the lightning, which then scattered with the wind.
The lightning flashed like a shooting star, swift and dazzling.
It comes quickly, and it goes quickly.
After the lightning struck, the island was completely unrecognizable, leaving only bare ground and the heavy smell of scorched earth in the air.
Looking at the island after it had been bathed in lightning, Song Wen smiled.
The power of the fourth Heavenly Thunder Secret Technique was stronger than he had expected.
Song Wen turned his head and looked to the east, which was the direction of the Inner Sea of the Chaotic Sea.
He has been in the Sea of Disorder for 105 years; it's time to leave, time to return to the Heavenly Origin Continent.
Go back to see old friends and settle some past grievances. Most importantly, find the follow-up Cultivation Method to the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>.
Back then, Song Wen only obtained the cultivation method from Qi Refinement to Golden Core stage from Blood Brow's hands: the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>.
He has now mastered three Cultivation Practice Method for the Nascent Soul Realm: the Longevity Art, the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art, and the Netherworld Unity Art.
The first two Cultivation Method were obtained from Bie Chou independently comprehended and created the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>, which was based on these two Cultivation Method.
The <Netherworld Unity Art> is a Ghost Dao Cultivation Method, a closely guarded secret of the Cui Family, obtained by killing Cui Yan, Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Cui Family.
Song Wen currently has two options: one is to find the follow-up Cultivation Method of the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art>, and the other is to switch to cultivating other Cultivation Method.
If you choose to switch cultivation methods, the first choice should naturally be the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>.
But Song Wen did not want to switch majors.
The Law Power cultivated through the <Corpse King Reincarnation Art> possesses both righteous and evil attributes, allowing him to perform secret arts of both paths.
If one switches to cultivating the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art>, it means that Thunder Method can no longer be used.
Furthermore, as one's cultivation level increases, breaking through the bottleneck of each minor realm becomes increasingly difficult.
Song Wen planned to use Yinshuo, Ye Hua, and others who were practicing the <Corpse King Blood Refinement Art> as elixirs to break through their bottlenecks.
This is why Song Wen told Zhu Yin that they would meet again someday.
A hundred years have passed in a flash. When Song Wen first arrived at the Sea of Disorder, he was only at the Foundation Establishment Peak Stage, but now he is Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Song Wen leaped into the air and flew westward.
About fifteen minutes later.
An endless black mist appeared on the sea ahead.
The black fog is everywhere, both in the air and underwater.
This is the Misty Ghost Domain.
Looking at the ghostly mist filling the sky and earth ahead, Song Wen couldn't help but frown slightly.
In his memory, the Misty Ghost Domain was about ten thousand miles away from the small island where he was in seclusion.
He had just arrived by air, and he had a vague feeling that the distance he had traversed should not exceed ten thousand miles.
"Could it be that the ghostly mist is spreading continuously? If so, wouldn't the Misty Ghost Domain swallow up the entire Sea of Disorder in a few years?" Song Wen wondered to himself.
On this vast ocean, there is nothing to refer to.
Song Wen couldn't immediately determine whether his perception was wrong or whether the ghostly mist was truly spreading.
Whether the Misty Ghost Domain is expanding or not is irrelevant to Song Wen. Given the current rate of spread of the Ghost Mist, he will never see the day when it engulfs the entire Sea of Disorder.
Song Wen flew into the ghostly mist and, following his somewhat hazy memories, headed towards the island where the Teleportation Array was located.
As they ventured deeper into the ghostly mist, everything around them gradually darkened, and Song Wen's Divine Sense was suppressed.
Before long, a reef island appeared in front of Song Wen.
On the island, a three-tailed black fox, over ten feet long, was feasting.
Its prey was a third-tier Wraith.
The Wraith was a soul, but in the black fox's mouth, it seemed to have a physical form. It tore off fragments of the Wraith spirit's soul and chewed them with relish.
The three-tailed black fox suddenly raised its head, its gaze warily fixed on the direction where Song Wen was.
"Waaah..."
Perhaps sensing the powerful aura of Nascent Soul Cultivator emanating from Song Wen, the three-tailed black fox stopped devouring the Wraith, arched its body, and let out a low roar.
At the same time, it retreated step by step.
"Senior Nether Fox, do you not recognize me?"
Song Wen's slightly teasing voice rang in Black Fox's ears.
This black fox is the same Nether Fox that was teleported to the Misty Ghost Domain with Song Wen back then.
Back then, it was at the Late Third Rank; a hundred years later, it has advanced to the peak of the third tier.
"Who are you?"
A female voice rang in Song Wen's mind, her tone tinged with doubt.
The Nether Fox cannot speak human language, but it possesses extremely high intelligence and can transmit sound through its Divine Senses.
"Senior, you really have a bad memory. It's only been a hundred years, and you don't even remember me. Back then, it was I who brought you to this Misty Ghost Domain," Song Wen said.
"It was you!"
The Nether Fox suddenly realized what was happening, and its eyes widened abruptly.
"Back then, you were just Foundation Establishment cultivator, but now you've actually advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm."
"Yes, I am already Nascent Soul Cultivator, while you are still just a third-tier fox demon. It's time to settle our grudges." Song Wen said with a sneer.
A flicker of fear flashed in the eyes of the Nether Fox.
"Human Race, you were able to escape to the Sea of Disorder back then because I gave you the method to control the Teleportation Array. Without me, you would have been captured alive long ago. Now, you want to take my life. You are repaying kindness with enmity."
Song Wen said, "Back then, if I hadn't activated the Teleportation Array, you would have been killed long ago, and your corpse would have been refined into Law Treasure. Therefore, I can be said to have saved your life. However, after arriving at the Sea of Disorder, you deliberately gave me the wrong directions, trying to trap me in the ghost mist, causing me to be corrupted by it and transformed into a mindless vengeful Wraith."
The Nether Fox remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering how to defend itself.
"Back then, I gave you the wrong directions, which was my fault. But I didn't do it on purpose. I was new to the Misty Ghost Domain wasn't familiar with it, so I couldn't figure out where I was."
Song Wen's lips curled up slightly, and his eyes grew increasingly murderous, clearly indicating that he did not believe Nether Fox's words.
Do you think I'd believe that?
The Nether Fox's body trembled slightly, its eyes filled with obvious panic.
"Human Race, don't think you can act recklessly just because you're stronger than me. The Misty Ghost Domain is my home turf, and taking my life won't be easy for you. If we fight, it will inevitably disturb the surrounding Wraith, and you won't be able to escape unscathed."
The Nether Fox spirit spoke with a firm tone, but it could not hide the fear in its heart.
Song Wen seemed to have been persuaded by Nether Fox, and he said softly.
"What you say makes some sense. But how can I be willing to let you go so easily..."
Song Wen's gaze swept back and forth over the Nether Fox.
After much deliberation, Song Wen said.
"How about... you become my spirit beast and serve me for a hundred years to ease the resentment in my heart?"
