Song Wen obtained Kong Ling’s four Blazing-Fire Purifying Talismans by capturing Jiang Linger, then entered Demonfall Valley with Rong Shao in search of the Yin Spring. They found the Nine-Aperture Profound-Connecting Ganoderma, survived Lü Ling’s formation, and waited for two plants to mature before Song Wen reached the Integrated Body Peak Stage.
Song Wen sought Azure Glazed Fruit and Great Yin Netherfire to prepare for a Mahayana breakthrough, obtaining them through deception and a bargain with Mo You. He settled at the Leng Residence to cultivate, but Yu Hua's attempt to recruit him for a dangerous secret realm ended in a confrontation.

Song Wen destroyed Rong Luan’s lifespan-extending scheme, killed her, and spread evidence that brought the Divine Blood Sect’s retaliation upon the Rong Clan. He then abducted Su Zhixi to obtain a breakthrough formation, released her after its completion, and advanced into the Mahayana Realm.
Song Wen gathered souls and wealth, then lured Yu Bi into a trap and killed him before confronting Cui Qiao over Zhou Siyi’s fate. After confirming Zhou Siyi’s soul still survived in the Heavenly Origin Realm, Song Wen sought knowledge of spatial rifts that might let him reach her.
Song Wen used Xuan Li’s knowledge of spatial fissures to send Qiao Mengyu to the lower realm to rescue Zhou Siyi, then reunited with her and brought Zhou Siyi back. After settling Zhou Siyi’s vengeance against Cui Qiao, Song Wen returned to Ying Wu, who revealed a possible body for his old friend.

Song Wen found Ye Bing after centuries apart, helped her avenge the Ye Family, and brought her to Jade Spirit Palace. He then entered the Kunxu Secret Realm, explored its connected regions with Feng Zhongli, obtained the Nine-Heavens Thunder Astral Stone, and killed Zhu You, leaving with Feng Zhongli as his ally.
Song Wen joined the struggle for the Purple-Rhyme Profound Tree and was trapped with Yuan Rong and the others in a formation tied to a flood dragon palace. After the group entered the inner hall and learned of a True Dragon Spirit, their fight with the Flood Dragon King left Song Wen and Yuan Rong battling together as Feng Zhongli called for Yang Yu.
Song Wen and his allies defeated the Flood Dragon King, discovered the True Dragon Spirit beneath Dragon-Breath Profound Ice, and gathered souls to break through the ice. After clashes with Pagoda Temple monks and Yi Ji’s group, the exposed dragon corpse fell into the darkness during a fight over its division.
Song Wen survived the sealed abyss by turning its captors against one another, then found a way through the Snowfield exit and escaped the Kunxu Secret Realm. After returning to Great Passage Lake, he investigated Zhou Siyi’s strange resonance and accompanied Ying Wu into the Source-Qi Death Domain to test her Void Dragon Vine.
Song Wen and Ying Wu pursued the Blood Skeleton Lord, strengthened their cultivation, and traveled to the Divine Blood Sect, where Ying Wu asserted her authority and claimed rare treasures. Song Wen reunited with old acquaintances, learned more about the sect’s hidden power struggles, and remained there with Xuan Li and Qiluo as Ying Wu departed for Blood Radiance City.
Song Wen helped Xugeng survive his tribulation, then joined Kurong’s expedition to investigate the Western Rong Continent. After Kurong’s group slaughtered the Rat Race and clashed with the Crimson-Scaled King, Song Wen killed Fu Tian and arrived at the demons’ lair, where Kurong began questioning him.
Song Wen reached peak Mahayana, reconciled with Qing Lian and the Crimson-Scaled King, and returned to confront Xugeng at his ascension. His subsequent battle alongside Ying Wu against Ming Yuan ended with Su Wei and Qingxuanzi intervening to seize the Divine Blood Sect and questioning Ying Wu about the Void Dragon Vine.
Song Wen survived Su Wei and Qingxuanzi with the Nether Fox’s help, reached the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and returned to claim leadership of the Divine Blood Sect. He consolidated his rule, spread the Corpse King Reincarnation Art, and began arranging a pill to help Qingxuanzi change cultivation arts.
Song Wen rescued Xuan Li and Yang Xi, strengthened his authority over the Divine Blood Sect, and later pursued the Lightning-Avoiding Divine Willow. He uncovered Qingxuanzi’s coup, killed the conspirators, and returned as Ying Wu prepared to attempt Tribulation Transcendence.

Song Wen defended the Divine Blood Sect from a coalition of Tribulation Transcendence cultivators, then pursued Yan'e across the Western Rong Continent and captured him. Yan'e revealed his plans and led Song Wen to a mountain-moving ant colony rich in Seven-Leaf Stargrass.
Song Wen reunited with the Willow Snake Clan, helped the Crimson-Scaled King defeat Venerable Biwu, and advanced to the late Tribulation Transcendence stage. When Void Beetles destroyed Mountain-Crushing City, Song Wen and Ying Wu fought their swarm and discovered that Origin Qi could wound the Insect Mother’s forces, but the invasion remained unresolved.
