Time flies, and years pass by.

Song Wen immersed himself in cultivation, day after day, year after year, without the slightest懈怠.

He constantly tempered his cultivation, while also taking the time to refine the treasures he had obtained.

Chi Pei's Blood Sea Seal was also refined into his own Blood Sea Seal, greatly enhancing its power.

The Law-Breaking Divine Eye had also been successfully cultivated, but its specific power was still unclear, as he had not yet fought anyone.

Song Wen also carefully nurtured the several Gu insects and the Nether Fox.

Their strength had all noticeably improved.

The Blood Earthworm Gu had been upgraded from the second rank to the third rank.

The three Shadow Gu had broken through to the late stage of the third rank.

The Shadow King Gu and the Nether Fox had both advanced to the middle stage of the fourth rank.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed, and Song Wen had completely stabilized his cultivation. His divine sense realm had also smoothly advanced to the late stage of Transformation Spirit, so he ended his seclusion.

"It's time to leave the Corpse Mire Ridge," Song Wen muttered to himself.

He stood up and was about to withdraw the formation he had set up in the cave when he suddenly froze.

"I seem to have forgotten something."

Song Wen pondered, and after a moment, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"That's right, I promised Ye Bing that I would help her deal with Jin Xun and seize the spiritual herbs in his possession for refining the Void Union Pill."

Song Wen hurriedly put away the formation, and his figure turned into a stream of light, heading towards Phoenix Feather City.

He had promised Ye Bing at the time, 'I will definitely return to find you in a few months, or at most a few years'.

Now, a full twenty years had passed, and he didn't know what the situation was on her side.

Song Wen's cultivation had touched the bottleneck of the late stage of Transformation Spirit, and the peak of Transformation Spirit was just around the corner. It was time to consider the matter of advancing to the Void Refinement stage.

Therefore, whether Ye Bing could successfully refine the Void Union Pill was particularly important.

With the Corpse Mire Ridge topographic map obtained from Chi Pei, Song Wen left the Corpse Mire Ridge very smoothly, and then after hurrying for a while, he came to the sky above a large lake.

The lake was vast and boundless, with the blue waves connecting to the sky, a seamless blend of water and sky.

Scattered among the water surface were islands.

This lake was the meeting place agreed upon with Ye Bing - Azure Oak Lake.

"I wonder if Ye Bing has left this place after so many years," Song Wen thought to himself.

Azure Oak Lake is about millions of miles wide, with tens of thousands of islands of various sizes; it would take a lot of effort to search them one by one.

Moreover, Ye Bing's temporary cave dwelling may not necessarily be on these islands, it may also be hidden somewhere underwater.

It was not easy to find her.

However, Song Wen was not worried about this.

People leave their names behind, and geese leave their voices.

Ye Bing, a Transformation Spirit peak cultivator, would definitely leave some traces if she lived here for a long time.

Song Wen probed with his divine sense, and soon discovered traces of cultivator activity on an island hundreds of miles away.

With a flash, he came to the sky above the island.

On the island, there were only two people, a man and a woman, the man with Golden Core cultivation, and the woman with Foundation Establishment cultivation, seemingly a pair of Daoist companions.

The two were inside a formation barrier, looking up at Song Wen who had suddenly arrived, both looking a little uneasy.

At this time, Song Wen was wearing a black cloak, his whole body shrouded in black, giving people a sense of inexplicable oppression.

"Greetings, Senior. Senior, what brings you here?" the man bowed and clasped his fists, his tone full of respect and caution.

"Have you been living here for a long time?" A faint voice came from under the black cloak.

"This junior and his wife have been cultivating here for sixty years," the man said.

Song Wen said, "In the past twenty years, has any Transformation Spirit cultivator temporarily resided in Azure Oak Lake?"

A look of horror flashed in the man's lowered eyes.

The other party asked about the whereabouts of Transformation Spirit cultivators as soon as he opened his mouth, so there was a great possibility that the other party was also a Transformation Spirit cultivator.

Thinking of this, the man became even more respectful.

"Senior, this junior's cultivation is low and I cannot come into contact with Transformation Spirit cultivators. Therefore, this junior does not know if any Transformation Spirit seniors have come to Azure Oak Lake to reside temporarily in recent years. However, twenty years ago, a deserted island on the west side of Azure Oak Lake, about 100,000 miles away from here, suddenly had an owner, and the island was named 'Hooked Halberd Island'. According to some Golden Core Daoist friends and Nascent Soul seniors, the owner of Hooked Halberd Island is likely a Transformation Spirit expert. Perhaps, Senior can go to Hooked Halberd Island..."

The man spoke with extreme respect.

Suddenly, he noticed that the faint pressure coming from the sky suddenly disappeared.

The man cautiously raised his head and glanced at the high sky.

But there was no figure in the air.

The black-clothed cultivator had long since disappeared without a trace.

The man immediately breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Wan'er, you don't need to salute anymore, that senior has left."

The woman heard the words, and then slowly stood up straight. Before she could speak, she heard the man say again.

"Hurry up and pack your things, you and I will leave Azure Oak Lake temporarily."

"Why?" the woman asked somewhat blankly.

The man said, "Azure Oak Lake is afraid that there will be turmoil."

The woman said, "Are you talking about the senior just now? However, his words were still kind, and he should not be someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately."

The man said, "Human nature is complex, how can you make a conclusion based on just one meeting. Moreover, the spiritual energy of Azure Oak Lake is not very strong, and only rogue cultivators have always been entrenched here, and the highest cultivation is only Nascent Soul realm. Now, two Transformation Spirit cultivators have suddenly come here. There must be a reason for the strangeness. In my opinion, it is better to be cautious. You and I might as well leave Azure Oak Lake first and wait and see what happens. If there is no major event here in the future, it will not be too late to return."

The woman nodded heavily.

.....

Song Wen headed west, and asked people twice more, finally arriving at the island named 'Hooked Halberd Island'.

This island was named 'Hooked Halberd Island' twenty years ago, and the island owner would be none other than Ye Bing.

The island was quite large, hundreds of miles across.

On it, the trees were lush, and birds and animals lived among them.

However, Song Wen scanned the entire island with his divine sense, but did not find any signs of life. He only found a pavilion on the highest peak of the island.

Song Wen did not break into the island, but stood in mid-air. After thinking for a while, he took out Ye Bing's message jade slip.

He was about to send a message when his divine sense suddenly detected someone approaching from behind.

"Fairy Ye Bing?"

Song Wen used mana to wrap his voice and transmit the sound directly to the ears of the person who was thousands of miles away.

The person had made some disguise, wearing a bamboo hat to cover their face and aura.

This caused Song Wen to be unable to confirm their identity, and could only roughly judge that the person was Ye Bing through their figure.

"It's me!" The other party responded, their voice slightly dissatisfied.

Through voice confirmation, Song Wen confirmed that the person was indeed Ye Bing.

A warm smile immediately appeared on his face, as if he had seen a long-lost close friend, his joy overflowing.

"Fairy, I've finally seen you again."

Ye Bing did not answer Song Wen again, but went straight to his side, but did not stop, and directly brushed past him.

"Follow me."

Saying that, Ye Bing pressed down and landed on 'Hooked Halberd Island'.
