• Song Wen told Chen Yi that the cultivation world offered no sure refuge from conflict, and reflected that he hoped the evil spirit cultivators would attack so he could use the chaos against Gai Lu.
• Half a month later, the Gai Family’s protective formation strengthened as three Lingxu Dao Immortals on black flying ships arrived, and Gu Jiuyou demanded that Gai Lu surrender.

Gu Jiuyou, Chi Shang, and Yu Qiu watched the clan-protecting formation’s golden dragons destroy the evil spirit fleet, then discovered the dragons could not leave the formation’s range. Gai Lu replenished the formation with borrowed immortal stones, while Gu Jiuyou proposed wearing down the remaining dragons from afar.

• The golden dragons shattered the evil spirit cultivators’ ships and killed their crews, while Gu Jiuyou used his Bone Sword to slay two dragons.
• Gu Jiuyou, Chi Shang, and Yu Qiu retreated above Profound Sun City and realized the six surviving dragons would not pursue them beyond the formation’s bounds.

Song Wen stopped Monk Guangfa from stripping Suchén's divine soul from Chen Yi and revealed that he had defeated Guangfa before. With Guangfa subdued and the battle outside Formless Island still raging, Song Wen began questioning him about Suchén.

• Qu Feng argued that Gai Lu could recover enough to fight alongside Jing Xun and Su Dian, while Song Wen watched the battle through Shadow Void.
• Guangfa ordered Chen Yi to open her sea of consciousness, and Song Wen explained that Suchén's damaged divine soul was entwined around Chen Yi's soul and feeding on its spiritual essence.

• Song Wen privately reminded Guangfa that he had spared him outside Void Ruins Cave and warned him not to reveal Song Wen's name.

• Guangfa told Song Wen that Suchén knew the Tomb of Master Puxuan and might have chosen Chen Yi as a disciple to possess her body; Chen Yi rejected the accusation in despair.

Gu Jiuyou and his allies prepared to corrupt the Gai Family’s Earth Vein with the Primordial Chaos Qi Embryo, while Su Dian escaped and Gai Lu was captured. Song Wen then burrowed underground to intercept the embryo and used silver lightning to repel Gu Jiuyou’s origin-qi attack, but the Bone Sword pursued him.

• Song Wen warned Chen Yi to remain on Formless Island, then passed through its formation and burrowed underground toward the embryo.

Song Wen seized the Primordial Chaos Qi Embryo and escaped Formless Island with Chen Yi while fighting off Gu Jiuyou, Chi Shang, and Yu Qiu. As the pursuers closed in and Song Wen struggled to protect Chen Yi, Shadow Void offered to help drive them back.

• Song Wen evaded Gu Jiuyou's Bone Sword, stole the Primordial Chaos Qi Embryo, and wounded Yu Qiu, taking his severed hand and storage ring.

• Song Wen decided he could not abandon Chen Yi, who was too weak to endure the Origin Qi, and worried Jing Xun might attack the Gai Family.
• Shadow Void told Song Wen that he might be able to drive the three pursuers back.

• Song Wen saw that Shadow Void was listless and near exhaustion inside his sea of consciousness.

• Song Wen brought Gu Jiuyou's and Gai Lu's souls into his sea of consciousness and let Shadow Void threaten Gu Jiuyou into answering questions.
• Gu Jiuyou said the Void Wolf Void Demon had given him the Primordial Chaos Qi Embryo, which had formed in the Jade Blossom Source-Qi Death Domain.
• Gu Jiuyou revealed that the Void Wolf was in the Jade Blossom Source-Qi Death Domain and that a jade slip in his storage ring recorded three teleportation array locations.
• Song Wen found the jade slip, then asked Gai Lu why the Purple Star Immortal Sect sought the ascended cultivator; Gai Lu recognized Song Wen as Yan'e and Xing Chang and refused to cooperate because Song Wen had killed members of his family.

Song Wen forced Gai Lu to reveal that he did not know why the Purple Star Immortal Sect was searching for Song Wen, then escaped with Chen Yi. Chen Yi chose to return to her hometown, and Song Wen removed Suchén's remnant soul from her sea of consciousness as they continued toward the Western Wasteland.

• Song Wen used the Golden Broth Curse to torture Gai Lu, who said the Purple Star Immortal Sect's search was ordered by the sect and that even Profound Lord Danyang did not know the reason.
• Song Wen suspected the High-Heaven Immortal Sect might be behind the search because of Gu Que and the Divine Blood Sect cultivation arts, then devoured Gai Lu's divine soul while preserving Gu Jiuyou's.
• After traveling tens of millions of li, Song Wen asked Chen Yi about her plans, and she decided to return to her hometown and cultivate in seclusion.
• Song Wen entered Chen Yi's sea of consciousness and stripped Suchén's remnant soul from her soul.
• Song Wen took Suchén's remnant soul into his sea of consciousness to nourish it with Soul Source Essence and planned to visit the Tomb of Master Puxuan if he had the opportunity.

• Chen Yi offered Song Wen her body to repay his kindness, but he refused and said he might have saved her because of her name.
• Two months later, Song Wen left Chen Yi outside a small mortal city and continued west.
• Song Wen found the concealed cave beneath a lake, passed its barrier with Gu Jiuyou's iron token, and discovered a teleportation array.
• Song Wen used 3,060 immortal essence stones to activate the array and teleport to a desolate valley in the Source-Qi Death Domain.
• Song Wen introduced himself to the guard, Wu Liang, as Gou Jun, a new evil spirit immortal guided by Gu Jiuyou.

Song Wen met Wu Liang at the Teleportation Array, paid his extortionate demand, and accepted an invitation to a nearby market while suspecting Wu Liang had ulterior motives. They set off together, leaving the array in the hands of Wu Liang’s subordinates.

• Wu Liang told Song Wen that visitors using the Teleportation Array were expected to give him resources, then demanded a thousand Immortal Spirit Stones.
• Song Wen paid Wu Liang, who warned him to yield whenever he encountered members of the Void Race.
• Wu Liang invited Song Wen to an exchange gathering at a market east of the Source-Qi Death Domain, and Song Wen suspected the invitation concealed another scheme.
• Wu Liang urged Song Wen to travel with him immediately and said his subordinates would guard the Teleportation Array.
• Song Wen agreed to go with Wu Liang.

Song Wen accompanied Wu Liang to his residence in an oasis near the Jade Blossom Source-Qi Death Domain, where he discovered two men practicing the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art. Their presence changed Song Wen’s plans, and he questioned them about the art’s spread.

• Song Wen and Wu Liang traveled east through the barren land beyond the Source-Qi Death Domain and reached a cultivator-filled oasis.
• Wu Liang brought Song Wen to his residence and summoned two Mahayana men, Wang Da and Wang Er.
• Song Wen recognized that both men practiced the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art and abandoned his previous plans to pursue pills and blood essence.
• Wu Liang explained that the art resisted Origin Qi but offered little benefit to Evil Spirit Cultivators.
• Wang Da said he and Wang Er had obtained the art near Azure Purity City before coming to the oasis and joining Wu Liang; Song Wen asked whether anyone else practiced it.

Song Wen attended an Immortal Realm exchange gathering with Wu Liang and traded ten drops of Immortal Spirit Marrow for Immortal Essence Stones. He coveted Mu Li’s Grand Unity True Water for refining the Blood Sea Imperial Seal, but the chapter ended before he made an offer.

• Wang Da told Song Wen that he and Wang Er had obtained the Corpse King Blood Refinement Art at Dragonspine Ridge, southwest of Azure Purity City.
• Wu Liang brought Song Wen to an exchange gathering at a pavilion, where Ji Tong and the other cultivators displayed their treasures.
• Ji Tong offered Evernight Grass, and Mu Li presented a Ten-Thousand-Li Shape-Shifting Talisman and a bottle of Grand Unity True Water.
• After Wu Liang pressed him to reveal his treasures, Song Wen displayed ten drops of Immortal Spirit Marrow and sold them to Ji Tong for one thousand Immortal Essence Stones.
• Song Wen considered the treasures on the table and particularly desired Mu Li’s Grand Unity True Water, which he needed to refine the Blood Sea Imperial Seal.

Song Wen failed to buy Mu Li’s grand unity true water after refusing her high price, then left Wu Liang’s gathering. He traveled into the Source-Qi Death Domain and found a secluded cave, where he summoned the Dragon Void Vine.

• Song Wen offered ninth-tier spiritual items and six thousand Immortal Essence stones for part of Mu Li’s grand unity true water, but rejected her demand for ten thousand stones plus other treasures.
• Song Wen suspected Wu Liang, Mu Li, Ji Tong, and the others had arranged the gathering to take advantage of him, and he declined to trade further.
• Song Wen left the gathering, while Wu Liang warned Mu Li to share any proceeds if Song Wen later contacted her; Mu Li challenged Wu Liang for seeking rewards without risk and departed.
• Song Wen entered the Source-Qi Death Domain, used Shadow Void to check for pursuit, and avoided the Void Demons as he traveled deeper.
• Shadow Void found a secluded area, and Song Wen entered a natural underground cave, set up a concealment formation, and summoned the Dragon Void Vine.

Song Wen contracted with the Void Dragon Vine and gave Shadow Void a Primordial Chaos Qi Embryo to help it advance, despite Shadow Void's fear of the treasure. After Shadow Void fell unconscious, the Void Dragon Vine said it could resume refining its own embryo without going dormant, and Song Wen told it to begin while watching for danger.

• Song Wen learned that Ying Wu had ordered the Void Dragon Vine to serve him, then formed a spirit beast contract with it.
• Song Wen summoned Shadow Void and offered it the only Primordial Chaos Qi Embryo, while the Void Dragon Vine revealed it had sealed most of the energy from one it swallowed earlier.
• Shadow Void feared the embryo but swallowed it after Song Wen threatened it with the Startling Swan Blade.
• Shadow Void's pain subsided, and it fell unconscious as its aura fluctuated.
• Song Wen allowed the Void Dragon Vine to resume refining its own Primordial Chaos Qi Embryo after it promised to stay alert and report any disturbance.

Void Dragon Vine and Shadow Void began breaking through to the Immortal Realm at the same time, drawing a vast origin qi vortex that attracted resentful spirits and an immortal-tier Void Demon. Song Wen dealt with the attackers and disguised himself as Shadow Void’s blood servant to keep the Void Demon waiting while the breakthroughs continued.

• Void Dragon Vine reached the peak of the ninth tier, and Shadow Void later attained the consummate state of the late ninth tier.
• Ten years later, Void Dragon Vine began its Immortal Realm breakthrough, and Shadow Void launched its own breakthrough at the same time.
• Song Wen watched over the two creatures as their combined origin qi vortex drew in seven ninth-tier resentful spirits, which he captured and devoured.
• An immortal-tier resentful spirit arrived three days later, and Song Wen struck it with lightning before the Sea of Consciousness Black Hole devoured it.
• An eagle-headed immortal-tier Void Demon appeared and watched Void Dragon Vine, so Song Wen posed as Shadow Void’s blood servant and persuaded it to wait until Shadow Void finished breaking through.

Song Wen watched Shadow Void and Void Dragon Vine break through to the Immortal Realm while an Eagle-Headed Void Demon guarded them. Shadow Void then ambushed its protector and called on Song Wen to attack, leaving Song Wen caught in the sudden fight.

• The Eagle-Headed Void Demon slaughtered an Immortal Realm wraith, then drove off a Green Bull Void Demon that came to investigate Shadow Void and Void Dragon Vine’s breakthrough.
• After another month and a half, Shadow Void and Void Dragon Vine absorbed the source qi and successfully advanced into the Immortal Realm.
• Song Wen suspected Shadow Void might betray him when it approached the Eagle-Headed Void Demon, but Shadow Void thanked the demon for guarding them.
• Shadow Void suddenly attacked the wounded Eagle-Headed Void Demon with its tentacles, but the demon repelled it and wounded it in return.
• Shadow Void launched a sound-wave attack, and when the Eagle-Headed Void Demon countered with a shriek, Shadow Void called on Song Wen to join the fight.

Song Wen and Void Dragon Vine killed the eagle-headed Void Demon after Shadow Void chose to help him. Three days later, Song Wen visited Mu Li to buy grand unity true water, and she tried to tempt him with other rare treasures as he prepared to leave.

• Shadow Void joined Song Wen and Void Dragon Vine in killing the eagle-headed Void Demon, then devoured its remains in Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness.
• Song Wen traveled to the marketplace outside the Source-Qi Death Domain and visited Mu Li at the Mu Residence under the name Gou Jun.
• Mu Li showed Song Wen her bottle of grand unity true water and offered only thirty percent for his ten thousand Immortal Essence stones, or the full bottle for twenty thousand or equivalent treasures.
• Song Wen accused Mu Li of raising the price on the spot and began to leave, but she stopped him and mentioned evernight grass and nine-hole nether spring stone.
