• Qian Daoliu watched the battle and believed Bo Saixi was not truly in control because Yun Chuan still had unused trump cards.
• Yun Chuan left the Ring Sea and climbed Sea God Mountain, forcing Bo Saixi to hesitate rather than risk damaging the Sea God Hall.

• Bo Saixi told Yun Chuan to call her Grandma and asked whether he knew how vast the ocean was.

• Bo Saixi explained that the Sea God had spent a thousand years unifying the sea and said Tang Chen was the only other person she deeply admired.
• Bo Saixi described how Tang Chen reached Level 99 through his own cultivation and compared his strength with hers and Qian Daoliu’s.
