Wang Long and his group reached Purple Pearl Island, where Ji Xiang treated two injured pirates and impressed Wang Long with his extraordinary medical skills. Recognizing Ji Xiang’s dream of becoming a Soul Master, Wang Long gave him a Ten Thousand Year Ginseng King and began helping him absorb its power.

• Wang Long and his group boarded a ship bound for Purple Pearl Island and met Ji Xiang, the Purple Pearl Pirate Group’s doctor.

Yun Feng learned from Ji Xiang about Sea God Island’s lethal trials and the rule that anyone who passed had to remain there, but he remained determined to go. Purple Pearl brought Yun Feng and the women to the island’s waters, where they prepared to cross despite the danger posed by the Island-Protecting Divine Beast and its shark pack.

• Ji Xiang told Yun Feng that Sea God Island’s trials could kill outsiders and that anyone who passed was forbidden to leave, but Yun Feng insisted they would go and announced they would depart in three days.

• Yun Feng recalled that land Soul Masters had once reached the island without being attacked, and Purple Pearl explained they had arrived during the sharks’ hunt.
• After reaching the island’s waters, Yun Feng refused to wait and told the group to prepare to cross.

Yun Feng and the women tested the Dragon Abyss Boat while traveling toward Sea God Island, then discovered the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud could repel water and absorb energy from the sea. After reaching the seabed, Yun Feng proposed walking across it beneath the Shroud’s protection.

• Purple Pearl warned Yun Feng not to harm any Demon Soul Great White Sharks and advised crossing at night, then sailed away with her crew.

• Yun Feng tried using the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to conceal the boat, but its barrier repelled the seawater and left the boat unable to move.
• Yun Feng discovered the Shroud absorbed energy from the sea as they descended, and his body grew more vigorous while the barrier brightened.
• After the Dragon Abyss Boat reached the seabed, Yun Feng proposed that everyone walk across the ocean floor under the Shroud’s protection.

Yun Feng and his companions crossed the ocean under the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and reached Sea God Island, where they insisted on accepting the Sea God's trials despite a Sea Soul Master's warning. After leading them into the forest, the yellow-robed guide sensed Yun Feng probing the island with his spiritual power and warned him to stop.

• Yun Feng explained that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud absorbed energy from the ocean, allowing the group to reach Sea God Island while conserving his Soul Power.
• Yun Feng led the group past a Demon Soul Great White Shark and brought them safely ashore on Sea God Island.
• After resting, Yun Feng and the women set out across the beach and were stopped by eight yellow-robed Sea Soul Masters.
• Yun Feng and the women refused to leave and accepted the Sea God's trials despite the leader's warning that land Soul Masters might face deadly tests.
• The yellow-robed leader guided them into the forest, then warned Yun Feng that the island was protected by the Sea God and that he should not probe it with spiritual power.

Yun Feng and his companions reached the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, where Seahorse Douluo tested land Spirit Masters attempting to receive the Sea God’s test. Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing crossed the Sea in the Sea and qualified, while Huo Wu began carrying Ning Rongrong across.

• The yellow-robed middle-aged Soul Master brought Yun Feng and the others to the Seahorse Sacred Pillar and explained they had to cross the Sea in the Sea to qualify for the Sea God’s test.
• Seahorse Douluo raised a wall of waves beneath a ten-meter light curtain, setting the group’s first test.
• Shui Bing'er froze the waves into a bridge, overcame Seahorse Douluo’s seahorse Soul Beasts without harming them, and earned permission to accept the Sea God’s test.
• Zhu Zhuqing used Nether Slash and Hell Stab to speed through the waves and reached Seahorse Douluo, who also approved her.
• Huo Wu summoned her Fire Shadow and carried Ning Rongrong across the water, though the seawater began weakening her fire.

Huo Wu, Ning Rongrong, Purple Pearl, and Yun Feng’s group reached the Seahorse Sacred Pillar and cleared up Seahorse Douluo’s suspicion that they belonged to Spirit Hall. Shui Bing’er received the Sea God’s trial, which proved to be a Black Level Six Trial, leaving the group facing the possibility of death if she failed.

• Ning Rongrong boosted Huo Wu across the waves, and Seahorse Douluo questioned them about their martial souls and origins.
• Purple Pearl crossed the waves easily, and Yun Feng carried the remaining women to the platform with Candle Nine Yin.
• Zhu Zhuyun explained that the group came from different places and was not affiliated with Spirit Hall, while Yun Feng said they had come to gain experience.
• Seahorse Douluo began the Sea God’s trials, and Shui Bing’er stepped forward first.
• The Seahorse Sacred Pillar marked Shui Bing’er with a Black Level Six Trial, and she sat down to contemplate it.
• Seahorse Douluo explained that Black Level Six Trials were extremely difficult and that failure meant death.

Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Yue'er, and Ning Rongrong received Sea God trials, with Ning Rongrong unexpectedly earning the Top Level Seven Trials and being named the High Priest's successor. Purple Pearl then received Purple Level Three Trials, but the light entering her forehead caused an unexpected change.

• Seahorse Douluo explained that Black Level Trials carried a risk of death, but Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Yue'er accepted Black Level Five Trials.
• Ning Rongrong received the Top Level Seven Trials, prompting Seahorse Douluo to treat her with great respect and identify her as the future leader of Sea God Island.
• Seahorse Douluo explained that Ning Rongrong's trial marked her as the High Priest's successor, while the other women reacted with envy.
• Yun Feng had Purple Pearl undergo her assessment, and she received Purple Level Three Trials.
• After the purple light entered Purple Pearl's forehead, her expression changed to astonishment as she stared at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.

Purple Pearl and Zhu Zhuyun received trials that required them to have a child with Yun Feng, while Dugu Yan, Hu Liena, Gu Yuena, and Xiao Wu received increasingly extraordinary trials. Yun Feng was bestowed the golden Seagod Nine Trials and a golden trident mark, leaving Sea God Island transformed by the display of power.

• Purple Pearl completed the first stage of her Purple Level Three Trials by kissing Yun Feng for ten minutes, gaining a level of Soul Power, and learned that her remaining trials required her to have a child.
• Zhu Zhuyun received the same Purple Level Three Trials as Purple Pearl, while Dugu Yan received Black Level Six Trials and Hu Liena received a red trial.
• Gu Yuena concealed her power and received Black Level Six Trials, then Yun Feng approached the Seahorse Sacred Pillar to receive his trial.
• Sea God's Light linked Yun Feng and Xiao Wu briefly before Yun Feng pushed Xiao Wu away; Xiao Wu received a Top Level One Trial, while Yun Feng's light rose to the pillar's summit.
• Seven blood-red pillars converged above Sea God Island, and golden light descended upon Yun Feng, granting him the Seagod Nine Trials and a golden trident mark on his forehead.

Yun Feng received the Sea God’s golden Trident Mark and learned from Bo Saixi that he had been chosen for the Seagod Nine Trials, whose failure threatened Sea God Island with consequences worse than death. After Bo Saixi declared him and his companions honored guests, Yun Feng’s group set out for the forbidden grounds to begin their first trial, the Sea God’s Light.

• Yun Feng asked Seahorse Douluo about his golden mark, and Bo Saixi arrived to explain that he faced the Seagod Nine Trials rather than the Top Level Nine Trials.
• Yun Feng introduced himself as the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, and Bo Saixi ordered Sea God Island to treat his group as honored guests and summoned its other leaders for a meeting.
• Bo Saixi warned Yun Feng that failing his trials would bring consequences worse than death and that his trials concerned Sea God Island’s survival.
• After lunch and a brief rest, Yun Feng and his companions asked a Purple-Robed Sea Soul Master to lead them to the forbidden grounds for their first trial.
• On the way, Yun Feng reasoned that the group’s high-level marks explained their easy access, while the Purple-Robed Sea Soul Master revealed the destination lay nearly two hundred li away and displayed seven soul rings.

Yun Feng and his group reached Seagod Mountain and discovered that Sea God's Light protected some of them from the Ring Sea's beasts. They tested the barrier at the stairs, learned that it reflected attacks and imposed increasing pressure, and Yun Feng reached the fifth step.

• The Purple-Robed Sea Soul Master led Yun Feng and the others to Sea God Island's forbidden ground and explained the thousand-and-one steps beneath Seagod Palace.
• As Yun Feng's group crossed the Ring Sea, Sea God's Light appeared around most of them, and a Sea Soul Beast attacked Yun Feng before he drove it away and brought everyone safely ashore.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun tested the stairs, were bounced back by the barrier, and found that it reflected Zhu Zhuqing's Nether Slash toward her.
• Zhu Zhuyun concluded that Sea God's Light reflected physical and energy attacks and that climbers would need to ascend without offensive skills.
• Zhu Zhuyun stepped onto the first stair, and Yun Feng followed, felt the mounting pressure drain his Soul Power, and advanced to the fifth stair.

Yun Feng and the others tested the pressure of Sea God's Light on the steps to Seagod Palace, where he climbed to the eighty-fifth step before retreating and meditating. After comparing everyone's results, he proposed combining their supportive abilities to help one person complete the trial.

• Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Zhu Zhuyun climbed between thirty and thirty-eight steps before the pressure forced them to retreat, while Gu Yuena rescued them from falling into the Ring Sea.
• Yun Feng used his External Soul Bone and domains to reach the eighty-fifth step, then carefully descended and collapsed from exhaustion.
• Yun Feng meditated to recover and realized that the pressure came from the front and could provide valuable cultivation experience.
• Gu Yuena encouraged Yun Feng to believe in his own path, and he agreed before asking the others how far they had climbed.
• After learning the group’s results, Yun Feng suggested using their domains and support skills together to help Hu Liena complete the trial.

Yun Feng explained that the group should delay completing the Sea God's Light trial to maximize its benefits, and Bo Saixi confirmed his reasoning. She then gave him a God-bestowed Soul Ring, which began forming around him as the others watched.

• Yun Feng told Hu Liena and the others that they should complete the Sea God's Light trial last, preserving its pressure to strengthen themselves for future trials.
• Yun Feng explained that the Sea God's Light improved their cultivation and physiques, and Bo Saixi appeared and confirmed his deduction.
• Yun Feng asked Bo Saixi to provide food, drinking water, and clothing so the group could cultivate without leaving the trial site.
• Bo Saixi sent Yun Feng into the Ring Sea after he teased her, then returned him to shore and offered him a fortuitous opportunity.
• Bo Saixi gave Yun Feng a God-bestowed Soul Ring, and golden mist enveloped him as he began absorbing it.

Yun Feng endured the pain of absorbing a seventh soul ring while Gu Yuena led the women in testing their limits on the Sea God's Light staircase. After Yun Feng completed his absorption, Gu Yuena proposed that the women cultivate under the staircase's pressure to accelerate their Soul Power growth.

• Yun Feng continued absorbing the soul ring despite intense pain as the women left him with Bo Saixi and climbed the staircase under Sea God's Light.
• Following Gu Yuena's advice, the women used support abilities on themselves and climbed until they reached their individual limits, with Xiao Wu and Hu Liena reaching the sixty-ninth step.
• Gu Yuena used her energy to steady Xiao Wu and Hu Liena as they descended, while the others also retreated after exhausting themselves.
• Yun Feng completed his seventh soul ring, and Candle Nine Yin merged into his body as a red ring joined his six existing rings.
• Bo Saixi congratulated Yun Feng's progress by promising to return when someone else reached a bottleneck, while Yun Feng hurriedly covered himself after realizing his clothes had been destroyed.
• Gu Yuena suggested that the women cultivate within Sea God's Light, where its pressure might speed up their Soul Power circulation and cultivation.
