After arranging for Bo Saixi to accompany him, he prepared to leave Sea God Island with her and the others, carrying the Sea God Trident.

• Bo Saixi explained that the Sea God's Heart had chosen Yun Qi and driven off the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, a Spirit Beast close to completing its path to godhood.

Tang San and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were pulled into a life-or-death arena that reduced them to their childhood forms and stripped away their powers. Though trapped as a six-year-old, Tang San evaded the tiger’s first attack and prepared a Black Box as it pounced again.

While searching the Star Dou Great Forest for a Clear Sky Hammer spirit ring, he found a fifty-thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor and began attacking it.
