• The women received their fourth-trial rewards, while Yun Qi earned a ten-percent increase in Sea God Affinity and sensed a door leading to a golden world.

Yun Qi used Sea God's Light to suppress the Evil Orca King's resentment and absorb its hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring, surviving the ordeal with Xiao Bai's help. After three days and nights, he gained a hundred-thousand-year left leg Soul Bone and emerged with his strength transformed.

• Yun Qi discovered that Sea God's Light intimidated Sea Spirit Beasts, and Xiao Bai urged him to absorb the Evil Orca King's Spirit Ring.

Yun Qi and the women returned to Sea God Island after completing the fourth trial and learned the challenges awaiting them in the fifth. Elsewhere, Qian Renxue began her sixth trial, Bibi Dong revealed a sinister transformation, and Tang San received a trial involving his offspring.

• Yun Qi learned that his fifth trial required him to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardians within three days, while the women described their own trials against Sea Douluo.
• Xiao Bai agreed to help the group train, and they returned to Sea God Island after Yun Qi promised they would be together.

• Tang San learned that his fifth trial required his offspring to attack a human town, and he accepted despite his anger.
• A figure fought Xiao Bai at sea, countering her shark-tail attack with a powerful red blade of light.

Yun Qi defeated Xiao Bai in their spar, then fought his wives to help them prepare for their trials. He proposed weakening their Sea Douluo examiners by defeating them himself first, giving the women a better chance to pass.

• Yun Qi trapped Xiao Bai in a crystal of frozen seawater until she broke free and called off their spar, admitting his abilities countered hers.
• Yun Qi returned to shore and offered to make up for Xiao Bai’s refusal by sparring with his wives.
• Yun Qi used his Moon Shadow Sword Domain and rapid attacks to incapacitate the women one by one, then released Ning Rongrong after she woke in his Wishful Hundred Treasure Bag.
• The women discussed how to counter Yun Qi, but Zhu Zhuyun said they would rather face a Sea Douluo than keep training against him.
• Yun Qi asked which Sea Douluo each woman had to face and proposed defeating their examiners before they challenged them, which he said would weaken them and help the women pass.

Yun Qi and the women agreed that most of them would face their own Titled Douluo trials while Yun Qi conserved strength for his challenge against all seven Sacred Pillars. At the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, Yun Qi began his fifth trial and gained the upper hand over Sea Horse Douluo, who answered with a massive ninth spirit skill.

• Xiao Wu persuaded Yun Qi to let the women fight their own trials and save his strength for Sea Dragon Douluo and the remaining challenges.
• At dawn, Yun Qi and the women arrived at the Sea Horse Sacred Pillar, where Sea Horse Douluo explained that Yun Qi had thirty-six double-hours to defeat all seven guardians.
• Sea Horse Douluo activated the trial, and Yun Qi released his Moon Shadow Sword, Moon Shadow True Body, and Divine Slaughter's Domain to begin the battle.
• Sea Horse Douluo used his Martial Soul Avatar and Ripple Shield to resist the domain, then attacked Yun Qi from the front and back as the domains changed.
• Yun Qi escaped through space and filled the area with sword qi that weakened Sea Horse Douluo, forcing the guardian to unleash his powerful ninth spirit skill and merge its attack with the Sea within a Sea.

Yun Qi defeated Sea Horse Douluo by breaking through his defenses and forcibly interrupting his ninth spirit skill, then let Shui Yue'er and Ning Rongrong win their challenge against the injured Titled Douluo. The group traveled to the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar, where Zhu Zhuqing began her trial with Ning Rongrong supporting her.

• Yun Qi broke Sea Horse Douluo's defensive barrier with Orca Evil Axe and stunned him with Moon Shadow Orca Demon Capture, causing his ninth spirit skill to backfire.
• Sea Horse Douluo conceded, activated Yun Qi's Sea Horse Sacred Pillar trial pass, and warned him that the trials ahead would grow harder.

• Yun Qi's group traveled to the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar, where they found Sea Spear Douluo waiting beside the pillar.

Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong battled Sea Spear Douluo, using Yun Qi’s warnings and battlefield analysis to counter his weapon-based techniques. They drove him away from the Sacred Pillar Platform and disrupted his attempts to absorb seawater, leaving them with the advantage under Ning Rongrong’s Illusion Space.

• Zhu Zhuqing charged Sea Spear Douluo with Ning Rongrong’s boosts and won their first clash, knocking him back against the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar.

• Yun Qi told Zhu Zhuqing to retreat and defend from the platform, and she returned there as Ning Rongrong concealed them with Illusion Space.
• Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong held the platform and repeatedly disrupted Sea Spear Douluo’s attempts to absorb seawater, gradually gaining the advantage.

Yun Qi guided Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong through Sea Spear Douluo’s attacks, exploiting his inability to locate them and draining his Soul Power. Sea Spear Douluo entered the Illusionary Space and used his spirit bone skill to return to his spear form as Zhu Zhuqing launched a powerful attack.

• Yun Qi warned Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong to evade Sea Spear Douluo’s golden light rain by diving into the sea, and they escaped his ninth spirit skill’s target lock.
• Sea Spear Douluo searched the platform and sea while Ning Rongrong shifted the Illusionary Space and the two women alternated between hiding underwater and returning to the platform.
• Sea Spear Douluo withdrew his ninth spirit skill after failing to find his opponents and charged into the Illusionary Space to force close combat.
• Sea Spear Douluo separated from his spear to bait an attack, then activated his Restoration spirit bone skill as Zhu Zhuqing struck with overwhelming force.

Yun Qi’s team defeated Sea Spear Douluo through a coordinated attack in Ning Rongrong’s Illusory Space, and Yun Qi then passed the Sea Spear Sacred Pillar trial. The group headed for the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar, where they prepared to face its hidden guardian.

• Yun Qi challenged the wounded Sea Spear Douluo, whose trial marker activated after Yun Qi released his overwhelming Spiritual Power.
• Yun Qi’s group left for the Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar, and Purple Pearl said Yun Qi’s Purple Demon Eye could counter Sea Illusion Douluo’s domain.

Yun Qi entered Sea Illusion Douluo’s domain, broke its deadly illusions, and defeated the guardian with his own domain and spiritual attacks. After resting, Yun Qi headed toward his next target while the women began their trials.

• Yun Qi entered Sea Illusion Douluo’s domain and used his Spiritual Power and Purple Demon Eye to destroy the illusions and dispel the domain.
• Sea Illusion Douluo attacked Yun Qi, but Yun Qi’s Divine Slaughter’s Domain and Purple God Light shattered his Martial Soul Avatar and left him vulnerable.
• Yun Qi used Moon Shadow Orca Demon's Grasp and Orca Evil Axe to strike Sea Illusion Douluo down, but a golden force restrained Yun Qi before he could kill him.
• The Sea Illusion Sacred Pillar marked Yun Qi’s victory, and the women began their own trials as Sea Soul Masters carried the unconscious Sea Illusion Douluo away.
• After cultivating for two hours, Yun Qi recovered and headed toward his next target.

Yun Qi began his Fifth Trial battle against Sea Star Douluo, whose tentacles could drain energy, spread poison, and rapidly heal. After learning his opponent’s methods, Yun Qi used the Sea God’s Light and a torrent of sword qi to disrupt him, but Sea Star Douluo remained tough and continued resisting.

• Huo Wu defeated Sea Ghost Douluo, and Shui Bing'er passed her trial without difficulty.
• Yun Qi reached the Starfish Sacred Pillar and introduced himself to Sea Star Douluo.
• Sea Star Douluo ambushed Yun Qi with five tentacles, then used his Martial Soul Avatar to pull him in and drain his energy.
• Yun Qi’s giant sword pierced a tentacle, but Sea Star Douluo blocked the attack and instantly healed the wound.
• Sea Star Douluo enveloped Yun Qi in anesthetic, corrosive poison mist, while his suckers tracked him with Spiritual Power.
• Yun Qi unleashed the Sea God’s Light and a Torrent of Sword Qi, but Sea Star Douluo’s tough body and suckers resisted the attack.

Yun Qi defeated Sea Star Douluo in the fifth Sacred Pillar challenge by enduring his devouring skill, then overwhelming him with his Sword Bone and sword energy. After the trial was passed, the group continued to the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar, where Xiao Wu prepared to face her challenge.

• Sea Star Douluo unleashed his ninth soul skill, devouring energy from Yun Qi, the seawater, and Yun Qi's Moon Shadow Domain.
• Yun Qi stunned Sea Star Douluo with his eighth soul skill, then used his Sword Bone and sword energy to wound him until his ninth soul skill collapsed.
• Yun Qi stopped attacking when Sea Star Douluo could no longer defend himself, and Sea Star Douluo admitted defeat and awarded him the fifth Sacred Pillar trial.
• Yun Qi rejoined his wives, warned Xiao Wu not to push herself, and heard her insist that she was ready to challenge the Sea Demoness.
• The group reached the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar, where Yun Qi saw its statue-like design as he prepared to guide Xiao Wu through her trial.

Yun Qi’s group challenged the Sea Witch Douluo, whose charm and Mind Reading initially let her control the fight against Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong. With Yun Qi’s guidance, Ning Rongrong struck her with a poisoned hidden weapon and Xiao Wu seized the opening, leaving the Sea Witch to admit defeat.

• The Sea Witch Douluo welcomed Yun Qi’s group and revealed that she was a mermaid with Mind Reading, then offered to let Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong pass after hearing her flute.
• Yun Qi warned Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong not to let the Sea Witch play, and Xiao Wu attacked while Ning Rongrong boosted her.
• The Sea Witch used her flute and abilities to evade Xiao Wu, break Ning Rongrong’s enhancements, and attack Ning Rongrong from behind the pillar.
• Yun Qi protected Ning Rongrong’s thoughts, allowing her to surprise the Sea Witch with a poisoned hidden weapon that disrupted her Soul Power.
• Xiao Wu caught the weakened Sea Witch, who admitted defeat.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu completed their Sea God trials and received their rewards, while Yun Qi challenged Sea Demoness by listening to her Sea Calming Divine Melody. The melody unexpectedly strengthened Yun Qi instead of harming him, leaving Sea Demoness unable to understand why her attack was failing.

• Sea Demoness used the sacred pillar's power to escape Xiao Wu's attack, and Ning Rongrong completed her fifth trial, raising her soul power to rank seventy-eight and increasing her spirit ring ages.
• Xiao Wu completed her red-tier fifth trial and received two ranks of soul power and a second God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, which she began absorbing beneath the sacred pillar's protection.
• Yun Qi asked Sea Demoness to play one piece in exchange for letting him pass if she could not defeat him, and she accepted his challenge.
• Sea Demoness used her Martial Soul Avatar and began her ninth spirit skill, the Sea Calming Divine Melody, while Yun Qi sat still and listened.
• The melody caused Yun Qi's soul power and soul bones to grow hot and change, but it strengthened him rather than harming him, while Sea Demoness's attack failed to shake him.

Yun Qi defeated Sea Demoness, and his Sixth Spirit Ring evolved into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring as he passed her Sacred Pillar trial. He then arrived at the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar to face Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest of the seven guardians, and their battle began.

• Sea Demoness’s Ninth Soul Skill faltered, and Yun Qi unleashed a surge of blue-gold power that ended her attack.
• Yun Qi’s Sixth Spirit Ring evolved from black to red, becoming his third Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, and he passed the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar trial.
• Yun Qi asked Sea Demoness to protect Xiao Wu, then took the women to the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar for his final fifth-trial challenge.
• Yun Qi meditated for an hour before approaching Sea Dragon Douluo, who explained that the challenge was meant to earn the guardians’ recognition.
• Yun Qi and Sea Dragon Douluo released their Martial Souls and Spirit Rings, and Sea Dragon Douluo transformed beneath a blue dragon aura.

Yun Qi faced Sea Dragon Douluo, whose Demon Breaking Domain nullified Yun Qi’s domains, and proposed a contest without spirit ring or spirit bone skills. Their clash of Martial Souls and self-created techniques left both badly wounded and sinking into the Sea within a Sea.

• Sea Dragon Douluo used his Demon Breaking Domain to erase Yun Qi’s Moon Shadow Domain, then attacked him with powerful dragon claws.
• Yun Qi redirected Sea Dragon Douluo’s attacks with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Mysterious Jade Hand, and Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon before proposing they fight without spirit ring or spirit bone skills.
• Sea Dragon Douluo accepted, and Yun Qi covered his upper body with Half Body Armor and attacked with the Moon Shadow Sword.
• Yun Qi and Sea Dragon Douluo unleashed their self-created techniques, and their attacks collided in a blast that sent both flying into the sea with severe injuries.
• Yun Qi’s Half Body Armor and Moon Shadow Sword carried him down toward the seabed as the seawater weighed them down.

Yun Qi defeated Sea Dragon Douluo in a dangerous underwater battle and completed the Fifth Trial, though the Sea God reduced his reward because he had taken advantage during the challenges. The trial’s unexpectedly high affinity reward increased the difficulty of the Sixth Trial.

• Yun Qi used Moon Shadow Sword Intent and Yao Yin power to delay Sea Dragon Douluo long enough to escape the water and return to the Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar Platform.
• Sea Dragon Douluo tried to knock Yun Qi back into the sea, but Yun Qi unleashed hidden weapons that forced him to use his Fifth Spirit Ability to block them.
• Sea Dragon Douluo conceded defeat, and Yun Qi explained his Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon technique and hidden weapons.
• Sea Dragon Douluo activated the sacred pillar’s reward, restoring Yun Qi’s injuries and Soul Power after the challenge was declared passed.
• The Sea God announced that Yun Qi’s affinity rose by fifteen percent for finishing the trials quickly, but changed the Sixth Trial and increased its difficulty.

Yun Qi passed the fifth trial, raising his Sea God Affinity above fifty percent, but the shortcut taken during the assessment increased the difficulty of the sixth trial. Bo Saixi announced that she would attack Yun Qi and his companions for an incense stick’s time in three days, leaving Yun Qi to plan how they could survive.

• Yun Qi’s Sea God Trident Imprint changed as his Sea God Affinity surpassed fifty percent, and Sea Dragon Douluo congratulated him on passing the fifth trial.
• Huo Wu told Yun Qi that the group’s sixth-trial difficulty had increased, and Bo Saixi explained that their help and tactics during the fifth trial had counted as shortcuts.
• Bo Saixi changed the sixth trial from enduring the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo’s attacks to enduring her own for an incense stick’s time, with restrictions on her powers and only one participant required to remain standing.
• Yun Qi chose the foot of Sea God Mountain as the assessment site, and Bo Saixi set the trial for three days later.
• Yun Qi and the women returned to the forest near the Sea Demoness Sacred Pillar Platform, where Yun Qi began calculating a plan while the others rested and cultivated.

Yun Qi and the women began the sixth trial, which required them to endure Posey's attacks for half an hour. Their escape plan faltered when Posey used water-attribute energy to restrain them, and the chapter ended as Yun Qi confronted her with Sea God's Light and a concentrated spiritual attack.

• Xiao Wu finished absorbing her God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, and Yun Qi spent the final day planning tactics with the women.
• Xiao Bai escorted Yun Qi and the others across the Ring Sea, then wished them well before Posey appeared to begin the trial.
• Yun Qi had the women scatter and flee, hoping to run out the trial's half-hour limit without fighting Posey directly.
• Posey rose into the sky and created a huge water-attribute vortex that slowed the fleeing women and dragged Ning Rongrong toward her.
• Yun Qi turned back to protect Ning Rongrong, used Sea God's Light to weaken Posey's restraint, and attacked her with concentrated golden spiritual beams.

Yun Qi fought Bo Saixi during his Sea God trial, but her mastery and overwhelming strength left him unable to retaliate despite his unusual abilities. He vanished beneath the Ring Sea and concealed himself, while Bo Saixi searched for him and the Sea God Seven Sacred Pillars watched in alarm.

• Yun Qi and Bo Saixi clashed with their Spiritual Power, and Yun Qi suffered severe pain while recognizing her superior control.
• Yun Qi charged Bo Saixi and used All Rivers Flow into the Sea to absorb and rebound her punch, but she quickly overwhelmed and restrained him.
• Yun Qi activated Yin Shadow Possession and his sword armor, vanished amid sword intent, and used Star Dou Returns to Position to escape Bo Saixi's grasp.
• Bo Saixi sent Yun Qi plunging into the Ring Sea, where he used the Vast Sea Protective Cover and his abilities to hide and evade her attack.
• Bo Saixi lost her direct sense of Yun Qi but used the trial's aura connection to track his approximate location and confirm he remained alive.
• The seven guardian Douluo watched Bo Saixi's destruction and reconsidered how long they could withstand her, despite her still not releasing her Martial Soul.
