After a dizzying sensation, Song Wen found himself atop a towering mountain peak, surrounded by layers of jagged peaks and a vast sea of forests swaying in the wind. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

His objective was clear: to obtain the Pure Origin Heavenly Dew.

After briefly surveying the surrounding mountains to ensure there were no immediate dangers, Song Wen soared skyward, ascending straight into the heavens.

The Pure Origin Heavenly Dew was formed by refining Five Elements Spiritual Qi with the Nine Heavens Astral Wind and condensing it with the power of the stars. Naturally, it could only be found in the highest reaches of the sky.

The term "Nine Heavens Astral Wind" didn’t refer to a specific gale, but rather served as a collective name for the raging winds that swept across the boundless expanse of the Nine Heavens.

The "Nine Heavens" itself was merely a figurative expression. In the eyes of cultivators, the immeasurably vast and distant sky was all considered the Nine Heavens.

The height of the Nine Heavens was limitless; no one knew what lay beyond its boundaries.

As Song Wen climbed higher, the power of the Nine Heavens Astral Wind grew increasingly terrifying, its velocity surging with each meter gained.

The sharpness of the astral wind was unparalleled, capable of destroying all that stood in its path.

The force of the astral wind could tear apart the heavens and shatter the earth; its might was such that stars fell like rain before its fury.

This might be why no one had ever reached beyond the Nine Heavens.

When Song Wen ascended to an altitude of a hundred miles, he felt the faint caress of the gale.

He continued climbing, soon reaching tens of thousands of miles above the earth.

Here, the gale raged like a thousand blades unleashed simultaneously, its icy sharpness battering his mana shield with thunderous crashes.

Seeing the flickering mana shield, Song Wen halted his ascent.

It wasn’t fear of danger that stopped him, but rather the realization that this altitude was sufficient to nurture Pure Origin Heavenly Dew. Climbing higher would only complicate the search.

Song Wen unleashed his divine sense without reservation, yet it could only perceive an area less than ten miles around him.

The rampaging gale severely hampered his sensory range.

He opened his Sea of Consciousness, allowing the shadow void to perceive the surroundings, but even the shadow void could only sense an area of twenty to thirty miles.

Song Wen gazed at the Nine Heavens Astral Wind howling past him. The chaotic mixture of various gales caused its colors to shift unpredictably, sometimes as dark as night, sometimes as vibrant as a rainbow...

His brow furrowed slightly. Finding the Pure Origin Heavenly Dew in this environment would be no easy task.

Suddenly, a faint crimson glow flickered in his eyes as he activated the Dreamfloat True Eye, attempting to discern any traces the dew might have left amidst the surging gale.

However, under the overwhelming onslaught of the chaotic and raging gale, there were no traces to be found. Even the marks he had just left were instantly erased by the wind.

With the Dreamfloat True Eye proving useless, Song Wen switched to the Treasure Light Spirit Eye.

He had mastered this ocular technique during his golden core stage. It allowed him to perceive the unique Spiritual Qi fluctuations emitted by treasures and living beings, which seemed perfectly suited for the current situation.

Yet after testing it, Song Wen discovered that the Treasure Light Spirit Eye’s observation range was limited by his field of vision. In this sky-filling gale, it proved largely ineffective.

With both ocular techniques failing him, Song Wen had no choice but to activate his escape technique and ride the gale, hoping to stumble upon the dew by chance.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.

During this time, Song Wen never rested for a moment, traveling at full speed, yet he found nothing.

He also realized that this small world was astonishingly vast.

Even as a Peak Void Refinement cultivator, flying at full speed for ten days hadn’t brought him close to its borders.

This made Song Wen realize that searching the entire Turbid Spirit Realm in just one month was utterly impossible.

His current blind search was merely wasting precious time.

"I need to find another way," Song Wen thought to himself.

As he faced the howling gale, a flash of inspiration struck him—the wind direction.

The Pure Origin Heavenly Dew moved with the gale. If he could understand the wind’s patterns, he might be able to follow its flow and trace the dew’s path.

However, after flying through the gale for ten days, Song Wen had already noticed that the wind direction wasn’t constant but shifted frequently. Yet this didn’t mean the changes were random.

He halted his escape light and meticulously reviewed the wind direction changes over the past ten days.

Finally, Song Wen concluded that the gale blew southwest most often.

With a clear target, he immediately changed course and sped southwest.

Currently, the gale was indeed blowing southwest.

Riding the gale, Song Wen’s escape speed doubled, allowing him to cover nearly ten million li in a short time.

Suddenly, the gale shifted direction without warning.

Song Wen felt a mountain-toppling force slam into his mana shield.

Caught off guard, he was swept up by the gale, sent tumbling backward like a kite with a severed string.

Remaining calm, Song Wen channeled his spiritual power to stabilize his protective shield while resisting the gale’s onslaught to steady himself.

Just then, he noticed a flash of spiritual light in the distance.

Though more than ten li away, the light stood out vividly against the gray-black gale.

The spiritual light was carried by the gale and vanished from his perception in an instant.

Song Wen moved swiftly, piercing through the howling gale to pursue the light’s vanishing point.

After a few breaths, Song Wen sensed the spiritual light again.

It was a crystal-clear bead, about the size of a thumb, enveloped in a dreamlike, iridescent halo.

Song Wen’s eyes lit up slightly. This was precisely the Pure Origin Heavenly Dew he had been searching for.

However, the amount of Pure Origin Heavenly Dew was limited—only a single drop, far short of what Song Wen needed.

Still, this was a promising start, confirming the validity of his approach.

Song Wen flicked his finger, sending a wisp of spiritual power toward the Pure Origin Heavenly Dew, intending to draw it in.

However, the moment the power left his body, it was dispersed by the gale.

Song Wen shook his head, realizing he had acted hastily and forgotten the gale’s terrifying force.

He continued forward, closing the distance to the Pure Origin Heavenly Dew.

As the dew drew closer, the shadow void’s voice suddenly echoed in his Sea of Consciousness:

"Master, a cultivator is approaching from thirty miles ahead."

"What’s their cultivation level?" Song Wen asked urgently.

The Pure Origin Heavenly Dew was now just a few miles ahead, being swept rapidly forward by the gale.

The approaching cultivator was moving against the wind, and though they were still relatively far from the dew, they might reach it first.

"Same as you, Peak Void Refinement."

Song Wen’s tense nerves relaxed slightly.

With the shadow void’s assistance, a Void Refinement Stage cultivator posed little threat.

Pushing himself to his limit, Song Wen finally overtook the other cultivator, reaching the Pure Origin Heavenly Dew first and seizing it in his hand.

"Who goes there ahead? I discovered the Pure Origin Heavenly Dew first! Release it immediately!" a thunderous shout boomed against the wind. Though the speaker had clearly infused the shout with spiritual power, the voice still sounded somewhat distorted.
