Chapter Summaries

Lu Changsheng resisted the forbidden ground’s tempting treasures, defeated its two jade guardians with the Sea God Halberd, and found the second fragmentary map of the Sea Suppressing Divine Stele. He stopped before an eighth-grade defense array and began analyzing its nodes to find a way through.

• Lu Changsheng passed up the rare spirit herbs and Ink Dragon Sea-Nurtured Pearl, choosing to continue toward the fragment map rather than steal the Spirit Trout Race’s treasures.

• Lu Changsheng sat at the plaza’s edge and used his divine soul to construct a model of the array and search for a weak node.

Lu Changsheng broke into the Spirit Trout Race’s forbidden altar and claimed a second Sea Suppressing Divine Stele fragmentary map, but the race caught him and demanded compensation. He surrendered the Sea God Halberd to settle the dispute and left the forbidden ground without it.

After crossing the deadly whirlpool entrance, Lu Changsheng and his companions reached the ruins’ ancient land as the other factions followed and conflict loomed.

• Xuan Lan led three thousand Crystal Guards toward the sea trench while Xiao Yi warned Lu Changsheng and his companions about its dangers and treasures.

• Xiao Yi used the Sea-Suppressing Pearl to destroy the locks, and the freed turtle denied making any promise and threatened the group.

• Lei Ba and the Thunder Eel Race emerged behind them, revealed they had followed the group, and Lei Ba announced he would claim the scepter for his race.

Lei Ba and the Thunder Eel Race attacked Lu Changsheng’s group to seize the Sea God Scepter, but Lu Changsheng intercepted Lei Ba and fought him with the Sea God Halberd. After Lu Changsheng proved able to withstand Lei Ba’s attacks, Lei Ba transformed into a colossal thunder eel and lunged to devour him.

• Lei Ba attacked Lu Changsheng in his enormous lightning eel form, and Lu Changsheng endured his assaults before trapping him briefly in the Divine Water Heavenly Prison Array.

• Jing Tian reached the Sea-Suppressing Tower with three Black Armor Dragon Whales and ordered his allies to break open its sealed doors.

Jing Tian and a Black Armor Dragon Whale broke open the Sea-Suppressing Tower, but Ghost Brake, Luo Lang, and Bei Ji challenged them for its treasures. Lu Changsheng and his companions slipped inside amid the fighting, where rival factions rushed in and turned the treasure hall into a battlefield; Lu Changsheng claimed a Canghai Soul Lotus after killing a Devil Ray warrior who attacked him.

• Jing Tian failed to break the Sea-Suppressing Tower doors with his Dragon Whale Blade, so he ordered a Black Armor Dragon Whale to batter them open with repeated charges.

• Lu Changsheng secured the Canghai Soul Lotus while the sea races fought over the first-floor treasures, then realized Jing Tian and the Black Armor Dragon Whale elders had gone upstairs.

Lu Changsheng and his companions climbed the Sea-Suppressing Tower after he defeated Jing Tian, but they were stopped on the eighth floor by the ancient Sword-Toothed Phantom Shark. Xiao Yi unleashed the Sea-Suppressing Pearl’s power to bind the beast, leaving the group able to continue toward the ninth floor.

• Lu Changsheng defeated Jing Tian, and the newly arrived Ghost Brake, Luo Lang, and Bei Ji watched as Lu’s group headed for the upper floors.
• Lu Changsheng and his companions passed through the treasure-filled third through seventh floors without stopping and reached the empty eighth floor.

• Lu Changsheng, Shi Jingtian, Lin Qingxuan, Murong Taxue, and Tu Jiao fought the shark but were injured and could barely damage it.
• Xiao Yi activated the Sea-Suppressing Pearl’s Sea-Suppressing Spirit Seal, whose law chains pinned the Sword-Toothed Phantom Shark to the floor.

Xiao Yi exhausted her Life Essence by activating the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, but Lu Changsheng restored her with the Canghai Soul Lotus. The group reached the ninth floor of the Sea-Suppressing Tower, where Xiao Yi alone could approach the Sea God’s statue and retrieve its inheritance scroll.

• Lu Changsheng discovered that activating the Sea-Suppressing Pearl had depleted Xiao Yi’s Life Essence, then used the Canghai Soul Lotus to revive and restore her.
• Shi Jingtian pried two sword teeth from the restrained Sword-Toothed Phantom Shark while the group prepared to leave the eighth floor.
• Lu Changsheng used the black iron shard as a key to open the bronze door and lead the group into a starry sea before the Sea God’s statue.
• The Sea God’s pressure immobilized Lu Changsheng and the others, but Xiao Yi could move freely because of her sea-race bloodline.
• Xiao Yi approached the statue, took the inheritance scroll, and caused the pressure to vanish.

Xiao Yi translated the Sea God Edict, which revealed that the Sea God's inheritance lay in the Sea God Ice Palace in the Extreme Cold Sea Region and required both the edict and the Sea God Scepter. After discovering the Golden Tiger Shark Race had taken the scepter, Lu Changsheng's group headed north and stopped to recover before pressing deeper into the frozen region.

• Xiao Yi read the Sea God Edict and learned that the Sea God's inheritance and treasures were hidden in the Sea God Ice Palace, which required the edict and the Sea God Scepter to open.
• Lu Changsheng's group returned to Sea God Valley and found the Sea God Scepter missing, while Murong Taxue detected a lingering aura associated with the Golden Tiger Shark Race.
• Lu Changsheng concluded the scepter's new holders would head for the Extreme Cold Sea Region, so the group traveled there with the edict.
• The group entered the deadly cold sea region, and Lu Changsheng set up a Nine Suns Ice-Melting Array in a sheltered ice valley so they could recover.
• Shi Jingtian gathered local seafood and cooked a meal, while the group ate beside the fire and prepared for the dangers ahead.

Lu Changsheng’s group recovered and traveled to the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Plain, where they found the Sea God Ice Palace. Bai Ling failed to open its barrier with the Sea God Scepter, then spotted Lu Changsheng’s group and ordered his guards to surround them.

• Lu Changsheng studied the Nine Heavens Labyrinth Array scroll for three hours, advancing his spirit-array attainments to seventh-grade mid-level without successfully forming the array.
• After the group finished recovering, Lu Changsheng withdrew the Nine Suns Ice-Melting Array and led them deeper into the Extreme Cold Sea Region.
• Lin Qingxuan gave Xiao Yi a Red Sun Cold-Avoiding Bead, and Xiao Yi used the Sea God Edict to guide the group toward the Sea God Ice Palace.
