Song Wen joined Zhong Ren’s migration toward the Qicang Region, but a Purple Firmament Dove wrecked their vessel and scattered the passengers. He survived Rotting Miasma Ridge, clashed with its beasts and fellow travelers, and ended the journey by killing Xiao Ying before following Ye Bing east.
Song Wen acquired the Earth-Escape Talisman method, secured Bodhi Spirit Stamens by abducting Hui Zhen, and arranged a hidden place with Ye Bing to cultivate rare herbs. The arc ended with Song Wen accompanying Shi Man and Wu Yuan to confront Shi Chang over Heart-Corroding Chill.
Song Wen killed Wu Yuan, took his cultivation and secrets, and maneuvered through Moon-Covering Hall while pursuing his own aims. He joined Chi Pei’s search for the Blood-Eyed Divine Ape and ended the arc by giving the group a precise location in the Gloom Miasma Mountains.
Song Wen killed Chi Pei, seized his knowledge and resources, then joined Ye Bing in luring Jin Xun into a trap to learn where rare herbs could be found. Song Wen used Jin Xiuqi and Ye Bing to draw Yun Xinghai into a meeting, where Yun confirmed Ye Bing was bound by a Soul-Burying Curse and focused on obtaining the Devouring Essence Array.
Song Wen escaped Du'e, gathered supplies, and entered the Source-Qi Death Domain before arranging a secluded breakthrough at Corpse Soul Ravine. He advanced his Primordial Spirit to Void Refinement, but his attempt to break through in magical power drew increasingly dangerous intruders.
Song Wen reached Void Refinement, settled his affairs with the Zhu Family, and reunited with Ye Bing before joining her search for Jiang Yushan. After tracing leads through the Ganchang Wasteland, Song Wen ambushed Chi Qi at Burning Heaven Abyss and struck him down.
Song Wen killed Jiang Lanruo, Hong Zhe, and Jiang Yushan, then learned how to cross the strait through an ancient undersea tunnel. He found the tunnel in the Source-Qi Death Domain, where Nether Fox advanced and Shadow Void completed its hatching as a seventh-rank resentful spirit closed in.
Song Wen escaped the Source-Qi Death Domain, infiltrated Southern Nether Province, and hunted for resources while concealing his identity and ties to the Divine Blood Sect. After years of cultivation and unsuccessful efforts to obtain True Yang Grass, he entered Azure Cloud Ridge, where a Void Refinement cultivator confronted him over a Mountain-Devouring Rat.
Song Wen healed Bai Wei, pursued his cultivation, and returned to find his valley looted and the Nether Fox and Gu insects missing. He used captives to pressure the Li Clan into searching for the rogue cultivator who had taken them.
Song Wen recovered his stolen possessions, turned a Beauty Serpent hunt against Six Baleful Hall, and reached the peak of the Void Refinement stage before escaping Gu Huang. His search for help with a rebellious Gu insect led him to seize the Gu Divine Scripture and interrogate the Gu Evolution Sect's last survivors.
Song Wen healed Qiao Mengyu, pursued his own cultivation plans, and entered the Turbid Spirit Realm in search of Pure Origin Heavenly Dew. After finding clues to the dew and reaching the Astral Qi Abyss, he joined Leng Zhi, Heng Ziping, and Xue Cong to explore it.
Song Wen survived the Turbid Spirit Realm, escaped Fan Kang’s inspection, and returned to Cloud Creek Valley with the treasures he had gathered. He then sought Netherworld Sand in Pingxi City, but his deal with Wen Hua and her associates exposed his identity and ended with them captured.
Song Wen failed to break through at Lanyuan Mountain, then used the conflict between Jian Xiao and Wei Gu to kill them and reach the Integrated Body Realm. After years of preparation and new dealings with Wang Qiuyue and Bai Wei, he went to You Shang Lake to approach Wu Lingzhu and investigate the Wu Clan.
Song Wen infiltrated the Wu Clan to rescue Lan Chen, captured its ancestors, and helped Lan Chen take over Wu Lingzhu’s body. After years of cultivation, he pursued leads on the Western Rong Continent and lured Ke Zheng into revealing Gu Huang’s disappearance with two million spirit stones.
Song Wen and Ying Wu searched the Annihilation Abyss for Thunder Hou materials, clashed with Wen Xuan, Xi Fei, and Gu Huang, and uncovered a corpse-puppet scheme. After finding a sleeping Kui Bull and a mysterious golden creature, they left the Abyss and went their separate ways toward Southern Nether Province and Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
Song Wen uncovered the Six Baleful Hall’s plans, killed Gong Tianzong, and advanced while hunting void demons. He prepared for the journey to the Western Rong Continent, gained a demonic form, and warned Wang Qiuyue about Xuan Gu’s intended attack.
Song Wen joined the expedition to the Western Rong Continent, survived its monsters, and escaped Yuan Rong’s schemes with the help of his substitute-death puppets. He then sought the Willow Serpent Clan, rescued Qing Lian, and chose to meet her approaching brother rather than flee.
Song Wen stayed with the Willow Snake Clan while pursuing the Jadeglow Lotus and a way back to the Eastern Profound Continent. Yuan Rong drew him into a plot against the Crimson-Scaled King, then launched an invasion that Song Wen used to steal the lotus and flee underground with Qing Lian as a terrifying Willow Snake entered the battle.
Song Wen escaped Yuan Rong, joined Wang Qiuyue to seize the Myriad Phenomena Spirit Liquid, and learned the remnant soul Gu Que’s history and secrets. He crossed the Source-Qi Death Domain in search of the Mirror Sea Mirage Abyss, then emerged through a spatial projection into a world where vengeful spirits besieged a human city.
Song Wen seized Peach Blossom Valley, raised his cultivation, and pursued the Rong Clan while concealing his identity. His hunt for Huang Yangshu ended in a battle with the Rongqi, where he exposed the possibility that the Rong Clan had exploited Rong Shao’s Longevity Art before Rong Luan arrived.
