• Bai Er and Red Spider decided to attack the ship together and keep Lin Sheng from fleeing.

• Taishan, Qingzhi, Shi Die, and Wang Wei discussed Lin Sheng's recent rise while sea beasts surrounded the ship, then the beasts suddenly dove beneath the water.

Lin Sheng survived his battle with Zhao Yantai, though Zhao escaped and a mysterious force from Zhao Hongzhang left Lin Sheng’s right arm unable to heal. After three days of recovery aboard the ship, Lin Sheng reflected on Zhao Yantai’s strength and resolved to grow stronger as the ship continued toward Southern Qi.

• Lin Sheng pursued the badly injured Zhao Yantai, but Zhao used a decoy to escape after Lin Sheng’s attack crushed it.
• Lin Sheng returned to the ship with his right forearm missing, and Shi Die and Qingzhi learned that he had fought Zhao Yantai and driven him away.

After recovering from his near-fatal wounds, Zhao Yantai told Emperor Jingyuan that Lin Sheng had killed five Grandmasters and vowed to hunt him down himself, beginning by seeking demon blood. Meanwhile, a storm-stranded fleet led by Lady Deville encountered a vast rift swallowing the sea.

• Captain Vito used the mermaid sculpture to shield the warships, but the sculpture cracked as the Sea Demon Eye’s pull dragged them closer.
• Deville refused to abandon her family, and Penny pointed out a merchant ship caught near the Sea Demon Eye.
• Lin Sheng’s merchant ship sailed straight through the Sea Demon Eye, shrinking it and weakening its pull.
• Deville told Captain Vito to follow the merchant ship, and the three warships escaped the danger zone behind it.
• Qingzhi said they would reach Southern Qi in seven days, while Shi Die noticed the Silo Kingdom flagship speeding after them.

Lin Sheng struggled to regrow his right arm after his battle with Zhao Yantai, unable to purge the lingering force of a Supreme Grandmaster. When Deville of the Silver Luminous Tulip Family insisted that her family could heal any injury, Lin Sheng asked whether they could treat erosion by a Supreme Grandmaster's force.

• Lin Sheng found that five days of cultivating had only weakened the Supreme Grandmaster's force in his wound, and less than half of his right forearm had regrown.
• Shi Die told Lin Sheng that people from the Silo Kingdom's Silver Luminous Tulip Family had followed their ship to meet him, but he ordered her to send them away.
• Deville, Penny, and Captain Vito waited on deck, where Shi Die refused their request to see Lin Sheng and told them to leave.
• Penny insulted Shi Die, prompting Shi Die and Taishan's group to threaten to drive the visitors off the ship.
• Deville claimed the Tulip Family could heal any injury, and Lin Sheng called from inside the cabin to ask whether they could heal erosion by a Supreme Grandmaster's force.

Lin Sheng asked Deville of the Silver Luminous Tulip Family to examine his arm wound, but her healing talent could not withstand the energy within him and she fainted. After she recovered, Deville concluded that a Supreme Grandmaster had caused Lin Sheng’s injury, while Lin Sheng continued searching the sea for powerful demonic beasts.

• Lin Sheng stopped Deville and her companions, then invited Deville to inspect his missing right arm and assess whether she could heal it.
• Deville examined Lin Sheng’s wound and sensed vitality far beyond anything she had encountered before.
• When Deville touched the severed end of Lin Sheng’s arm, the energy overwhelmed her and she fainted; Lin Sheng carried her to a bed.
• Vito and Penny confronted Shi Die outside the cabin, but Lin Sheng emerged and ordered them to enter once Deville woke.
• Lin Sheng searched the sea for powerful demonic beasts while recovering his injuries.
• After waking, Deville told Vito and Penny that Lin Sheng’s wound had been caused by a Supreme Grandmaster, and Vito realized how dangerous it had been to challenge Lin Sheng.

Lin Sheng returned to the merchant ship and agreed to let Deville try to heal his injury after she explained that the strange force-energy was draining his life and would eventually rebound. Deville activated her Tulip bloodline and began channeling its power into him, and his pain started to ease.

• Lin Sheng returned to the merchant ship and learned that the Tulip family’s warships were still following it.
• Deville told Captain Vito and Penny that she intended to approach Lin Sheng to secure help for her family and insisted she could treat his injuries.
• Taishan brought Deville, Vito, and Penny to Lin Sheng, who agreed to let Deville attempt the treatment if she had prepared to avoid the previous backlash.
• Deville explained that the force-energy in Lin Sheng’s wound was absorbing his life energy and could not be fully removed without matching energy.
• Deville awakened a silver-white power marked by a tulip, placed her hand above Lin Sheng’s severed arm, and began drawing motes of light into his flesh as his pain weakened.

Lin Sheng’s wound resisted Deville’s silver energy, but her effort weakened the strange force and revealed a possible way to destroy it with a spirit-light formation. Deville needed Silver Brilliance Stones lost in a sea-beast attack, and Lin Sheng offered to retrieve them in exchange for something more than a chance to heal his injury.

• Deville used her silver energy to treat Lin Sheng’s wound, but the dark-blue force destroyed her power and she collapsed unconscious.
• Lin Sheng stabilized Deville, suppressed the weakened force, and later decided he might need to go to Jushi City early because the injury hindered his cultivation.
• Deville recovered sooner than Lin Sheng expected and said a spirit-light formation fueled by enough Silver Brilliance Stones might break down the force.
• Deville explained that her ship carrying most of the stones had been destroyed during an attack by a huge sea beast that could withstand naval cannon fire and exhale perception-blocking fog.
• Lin Sheng agreed to help retrieve the lost stones but asked what Deville could offer him in return.

Lin Sheng and Deville searched the deep sea for the Lucy and its Silver Brilliance Stones, finding the wreck inside a hidden trench. When Lin Sheng removed the stones, a colossal starfish emerged and attacked him, leaving him excited to face the powerful beast.

• Lin Sheng took Deville to the area where the sea beast had attacked the Lucy and sent controlled sea beasts to scout while they descended into the deep sea.
• Lin Sheng and Deville found the Lucy's anchor, then Lin Sheng returned alone to investigate a strange seabed trench.
• Lin Sheng discovered the damaged Lucy floating inside the trench and found its Silver Brilliance Stones piled nearby, but no sign of the sea beast.
• Lin Sheng gathered the Silver Brilliance Stones, triggering a colossal starfish concealed beneath the trench to engulf him in mist and attack.
• Lin Sheng evaded the starfish's strike, recognized it as the beast that had taken the Lucy, and began swelling in anticipation of fighting it.

Lin Sheng killed the Phantom Sea Crystal Wrist Star and discovered it had been contaminated by the Ink Sea Dragon Crab’s consciousness, then escaped a frightening presence in the trench. He returned to the warship with Deville and nearly eighty percent of the Silver Brilliance Stones from the Lucy.

• Lin Sheng endured the starfish beast’s corrosive blood and mental attack before crushing it from inside its mouth and killing it.
• Lin Sheng read the beast’s information and learned it was a flesh puppet contaminated by the Ink Sea Dragon Crab’s consciousness.
• A powerful presence from the trench lured Lin Sheng to turn back, but he resisted and fled toward the surface with the Silver Brilliance Stones.
• Deville waited anxiously through a storm until Lin Sheng returned and carried her away from the sea.
• Lin Sheng brought a large pile of Silver Brilliance Stones aboard the warship, and Deville hurried off to prepare a formation to treat his injuries.

After two days of treatment by Deville, Lin Sheng recovered his severed right arm and tested his improved Sea Sacrifice Demonic Blood and the talents he gained from the Starfish Demon Beast. He destroyed the Ink Sea Dragon Crab essence blood rather than risk refining it, and left determined to uncover the secrets behind the beast and the Silver Brilliance Stone.

• Taishan, Shi Die, and Qingzhi discussed the Silo Kingdom's warships and the growing danger firearms posed to powerful martial artists while they worried about Lin Sheng's recovery.
• Lin Sheng finished healing in a Silver Brilliance Stone array, and Deville restored his right arm at the cost of her own vitality.
• Lin Sheng tested his advanced Sea Sacrifice Demonic Blood, discovering that he could control seawater, travel through it, and create concealing fog.
• Lin Sheng burned the Ink Sea Dragon Crab essence blood, deciding not to refine it because he suspected a dangerous connection to the beast inside him.
• Lin Sheng examined the Starfish Demon Beast's talents, using a mental attack to kill distant fish and confirming that his blood could become highly corrosive slime.
• Lin Sheng credited Zhao Yantai for leading him to the demon beast and vowed to kill him quickly the next time they met.

Lin Sheng uncovered the Silver Luminous Tulip Family’s ancient history, then completed the Divine Form Second Transformation after three days of cultivation aboard the Tulip. As the ship neared Southern Qi, news of Lin Sheng’s safety reached Princess Lingyu and Emperor Jing, who also learned he had survived the confrontation with Zhao Yantai and killed several grandmasters.

• Penny delivered Lin Sheng translated records of the Silver Luminous Tulip Family, and he learned that its lineage dated back to the Ancient Luo Empire and that its direct descendants could use the Silver Brilliance Stone.

Grand Duke Blazing Sun warned Grand Duke Golden Mountain not to let his pursuit of the Silver Luminous Tulip Family interfere with their mission to Nanqi, but Henry ordered Lida to capture the family’s survivors anyway. Meanwhile, Lin Sheng investigated Deville’s bloodline talent and discovered it could dissolve his force, leaving him intrigued by its mysterious origins.

• On a storm-tossed warship, Anus told Henry that the Silver Luminous Tulip Family should be left alone and warned him to prioritize their mission to Nanqi.
• After Anus left, Henry dismissed his warning and ordered the maidservant to tell Lida to find the Tulip family’s survivors before they reached Nanqi.
• Lida and Bozhong pursued the Tulip ships aboard a golden warship, then activated its figurehead to double its speed and close the distance.
• Lin Sheng asked Deville to demonstrate her bloodline talent, and she made his force python dissolve into nothing.
• Lin Sheng tested Deville’s ability further and concluded that her silvery-white energy could suppress force, deepening his curiosity about its origin.

Lin Sheng discovered that the Light-Gathering Array drew unusually potent silver-white energy into his cultivation, rapidly consuming its stored power. As the Tulip fleet neared Southern Qi, he had Deville rebuild the array with more silver brilliance stones, eager to continue benefiting from it.

• Lin Sheng tested Deville's Light-Gathering Array and found that its calming and cultivation effects helped him, though its bloodline-stimulating effect did nothing for him.
• While cultivating in the Pitch-Black Space, Lin Sheng drew in white motes that felt like refined, higher-quality Demon Resonance.
• Deville and Captain Vito discussed plans for settling the Tulip people in Southern Qi, and Deville decided to ask Lin Sheng for help.
• Penny told Deville that Lin Sheng had remained in secluded cultivation for over a day, and Deville warned Shi Die that staying in the array too long could harm him.
• Lin Sheng emerged unharmed after exhausting the array's energy in one day and told Deville to rebuild it with two hundred silver brilliance stones.
• Deville restored the array, and Lin Sheng welcomed the Tulip family's unexpected gift as the Golden Ship approached from hundreds of miles away.

Lin Sheng discovered that Deville’s Light-Gathering Formation let him absorb purified demon resonance from silver brilliance stone at extraordinary speed, while the Golden Mountain caught up with the Tulip family’s ships. The pursuers descended on their ship just as Deville tried to flee, leaving the family facing an attack.

• Lin Sheng found that Deville’s Light-Gathering Formation processed silver brilliance stone into demon resonance he could absorb without backlash, greatly accelerating his cultivation.
• Lin Sheng crushed a piece of silver brilliance stone and realized he could not sense or absorb its energy unless Deville processed it through the formation.
• Lida and Bozhong pursued the Tulip family aboard the Golden Ship, and Lida agreed to let Bozhong choose three women after they caught up.
• Deville told Captain Vito and Penny that Lin Sheng had exhausted the formation’s energy in a single day despite its side effects.
• The Golden Mountain appeared behind the Tulip ships, and Deville ordered Captain Vito to activate the cracked mermaid figurehead and increase their speed.
• A golden figure descended from above the mast and mocked Deville and the others for trying to escape.
