Haider lured Yun Qi and the women into the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's territory and provoked the beast, but Gu Yue Na and a mysterious Sea God phantom kept them safe.

• A beautiful purple-haired woman emerged from the captain’s house and stared in shock at Yun Qi and Gu Yue Na.

He left the pirates facing his accusation that their claimed principles did not excuse their crimes, while one pirate challenged him to address the injustices that had driven them to piracy.

• Purple Pearl confronted Yun Qi and Gu Yue Na, but Yun Qi overwhelmed her with his domains and sword array until Ji Xiang asked him not to kill her.

Yun Qi and his companions reached the waters near Sea God Island, where Purple Pearl warned them about the Demon Soul Great White Sharks guarding it. They tested the Dragon Abyss Boat and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and Yun Qi began checking whether the Shroud's water-repelling barrier changed under deep-sea pressure.

• Purple Pearl explained that the hundred-thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark and its school guarded Sea God Island, and advised Yun Qi not to harm any of them.
• Yun Qi chose to cross the dangerous waters instead of waiting, and Purple Pearl sailed away with her crew.
• Yun Qi summoned the Dragon Abyss Boat, and the group learned to steer it after several mishaps.

• Yun Qi activated the Vast Sea Protective Cover, but its water-repelling barrier trapped the boat and stopped it from moving.
• Yun Qi activated the barrier again and took the Dragon Abyss Boat deeper to test how it handled increasing water pressure.

Yun Qi and the women crossed the seabed using the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and reached Sea God Island. After admiring the island and preparing for its trials, they were confronted by eight yellow-clad Sea Soul Masters.

• Eight yellow-clad Sea Soul Masters blocked their way, and Yun Qi announced that the group wanted to undergo the trials and join Sea God Island.

• Yun Qi and his companions rejected the yellow-clad Sea Soul Master's warning and agreed to accept Sea God's trial.

• Sea Horse Douluo praised Shui Bing'er and declared her qualified to accept Sea God's trial.

Shui Bing'er, Zhu Zhuqing, Huo Wu, Ning Rongrong, Purple Pearl, and Yun Qi crossed the Sea Horse Douluo’s waves test and reached the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar. After clearing up his suspicion that they were from Spirit Hall, they began Lord Sea God’s trial, and Shui Bing’er became the first to be tested as the pillar’s light turned black.

• Sea Horse Douluo began Lord Sea God’s trial with Shui Bing'er, whose surrounding light changed from blue through white, yellow, and purple to black.

At the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, Ning Rongrong received the Top-tier Seven Trials, while several others were assigned trials ranging from Purple-grade to top-tier. Xiao Wu also received a top-tier trial, and the Sea God's Light began rapidly changing around Yun Qi as the chapter ended.

• Sea Horse Douluo explained that Ning Rongrong's Top-tier Seven Trials would make her the successor to Sea God Island's Grand Enshrined Elder, and offered her his help.
• Purple Pearl received Purple-grade Three Trials, completed a stage by kissing Yun Qi, and learned that her remaining trials required her to have a child; Zhu Zhuyun received the same trial.
• Dugu Yan received Black-grade Six Trials, Hu Liena received a top-tier trial, and Gu Yue Na concealed her talent and received Black-grade Six Trials.
• When Yun Qi underwent the Sea God's Light, it connected him to Xiao Wu, but he pushed her away; Xiao Wu then received Top-tier One Trial.
• The light around Yun Qi rapidly passed through trial colors and surged into black as Sea Horse Douluo watched in astonishment.

Yun Qi received the Sea God Nine Trials, marked by a golden trident, and met Bo Saixi, who confirmed the trial’s significance. Bo Saixi warned him that failure threatened the survival of Sea God Island, then disappeared.

• Yun Qi’s trial triggered seven blood-red pillars of light and a golden radiance that gathered into a trident mark on his forehead.
• Sea Horse Douluo admitted he did not know what the golden light meant, and Bo Saixi arrived to identify Yun Qi’s challenge as the Sea God Nine Trials.
• Yun Qi introduced himself as the Heaven Dou Empire’s emperor, and Bo Saixi ordered Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya to host him and the women as honored guests.
• Bo Saixi told Yun Qi he must complete at least one trial each year and warned that failure could doom Sea God Island before she vanished.

Yun Qi and the women arrived in Sea Horse City on Sea God Island and learned how their trials would work. They discovered that their first trial was to climb through Sea God’s Light, with Yun Qi required to climb far more steps, and planned to investigate its training benefits.

• Sea Horse Douluo Ou Ya led Yun Qi and the women across a bridge of seawater and explained the trials, rules, and population of Sea God Island.
• Ou Ya brought the group to Sea Horse City and gave Yun Qi his room at the City Lord’s residence before leaving to relay Bo Saixi’s orders.
• Yun Qi and the women compared their first trials and found that most had to climb the steps through Sea God’s Light, while Yun Qi had to climb 333 steps.

• A purple-clothed Sea Soul Master invited the group to lunch and passed on Ou Ya’s offer to help with their needs.

Yun Qi and his companions traveled from Sea Horse City to Sea God Island’s forbidden ground to begin the Sea God’s Light trial. As they crossed the Ring Sea, a Sea Spirit Beast attacked, and Yun Qi realized the trial marks protected some of the group while Zhu Zhuyun and Purple Pearl were initially exposed.

• After lunch, Gu Yue Na decided the group would visit the forbidden ground that afternoon, and Yun Qi told Ning Rongrong that the easy access likely concealed a difficult trial.
• A purple-robed Sea Soul Master escorted Yun Qi and the others nearly two hundred li to Sea God Mountain, where he explained that the Sea God Temple stood beyond one thousand and one steps guarded by the Sea God’s Light.
• Yun Qi flew his wives across the Ring Sea, where trial lights surrounded everyone except Zhu Zhuyun and Purple Pearl.
• A five-meter spear-mouthed fish burst from the water and lunged at Yun Qi, who dodged and used his domains and sword qi to freeze the sea surface.
• Yun Qi concluded that the trial lights shielded their bearers from the Sea Spirit Beasts, while Zhu Zhuyun and Purple Pearl had appeared as intruders, and he carried the group safely to the opposite shore.

Zhu Zhuyun deduced how the Sea God’s Light reflected attacks and resisted climbers, while Yun Qi and the others tested the stairs. Yun Qi reached the eighty-fifth step before retreating and collapsing, then cultivated to recover as the others also trained.

• Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were repelled by the stairs, and Zhu Zhuyun discovered that the Sea God’s Light reflected attacks toward whoever launched them.
• Zhu Zhuyun concluded that offensive skills would trigger backlash and that defensive or enhancement skills might help climbers withstand the pressure.
• Shui Bing’er, Huo Wu, and Zhu Zhuyun climbed as high as the thirty-seventh step before the pressure exhausted them and sent them tumbling from the stairs.
• Yun Qi climbed to the eighty-fifth step using his spirit bones, Divine Slaughter’s Domain, and Sword Qi Domain, then retreated before the pressure overwhelmed him.
• Yun Qi collapsed after leaving the stairs and began cultivating, while the others recovered and Gu Yue Na remained unharmed.
