He immediately began the Sixth Trial, which required him to withstand the Seven Sacred Pillars, and Seahorse Douluo offered to help him find a Spirit Beast for his ninth ring.

• Xiao Xian used the Soul Power he had planted on Sea Dragon Douluo to restrain him, then seized him by the throat and forced him to concede.

Xiao Xian prepared to face the Seven Sacred Pillars in the Sixth Trial, where he had to endure their combined attacks for the time it took an incense stick to burn. The trial began with the seven Titled Douluo surrounding him as he revealed his powerful soul rings.

Xiao Xian passed the Sixth Trial by evading the Seven Sacred Pillars for the time it took an incense stick to burn, then learned from Bo Saixi that his Seventh Trial required him to obtain a ninth ring of at least one Hundred Thousand Years and a complete set of soul bones. He left Sea God Island with five years to complete the tasks before returning to begin the Eighth Trial.

• Xiao Xian discovered that his next trial had not appeared, so Sea Dragon Douluo took him to find the Great Enshrined.
• Bo Saixi told Xiao Xian that the Seventh Trial required a ninth ring of at least one Hundred Thousand Years and a complete set of soul bones within five years.
• Bo Saixi instructed Xiao Xian to leave Sea God Island and return after completing the Seventh Trial, leaving him stunned that he had not received a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring or become a Titled Douluo.

Xiao Xian completed Sea God Island’s trials and left to seek a Hundred-Thousand-Year ninth soul ring and a full set of soul bones. After finding that Tang San and the others had already left Volcano Island, he headed for Sunset Forest and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, while also considering the looming Spirit Hall Soul Hunting Operation.

• Xiao Xian learned that his Seventh Trial required him to obtain a Hundred-Thousand-Year ninth soul ring and a full set of soul bones within five years, then told Seahorse Douluo he was leaving Sea God Island.
• Xiao Xian flew to Volcano Island, where he found Tang San’s message saying the group returned once a month and had last visited three days earlier.
• Xiao Xian left Tang San a note that he was going to Sunset Forest and set off for the mainland, worried that the Soul Hunting Operation might begin soon.
• Xiao Xian reached the Heaven Dou Empire and headed toward Sunset Forest to investigate the Ice and Fire Dragon King’s remains beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Xiao Xian reached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and found Dugu Fu cultivating in the cave above it. When Dugu Fu refused to leave, Xiao Xian revealed his eight soul rings and overwhelming power, leaving Dugu Fu fearing for his life.

• Xiao Xian traveled through the Heaven Dou Empire in disguise and noted Spirit Hall's growing influence and the wanted notices for the Shrek Remnants.
• Xiao Xian entered Sunset Forest and sensed Dugu Fu in a cave near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Xiao Xian reminded Dugu Fu that he had traded the Medicine Garden to Shrek Academy and asked him to leave or join the academy.
• Dugu Fu refused, claiming Shrek Academy was gone, and threatened to report Xiao Xian to Spirit Hall for his Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
• Xiao Xian released his Dragon Might and revealed five black and three red soul rings, shocking Dugu Fu with his strength and Twin Martial Souls.

Xiao Xian captured Poison Douluo Dugu Fu by tricking him with a poisoned bead and planned to recruit him into Shrek Academy after exploring the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. At the well, Xiao Xian sensed the Blue Silver Emperor and wiped out the surrounding Blue Silver Grass before leaving the valley.

• Xiao Xian told Dugu Fu that he had no Twin Martial Souls and attributed his extraordinary soul rings to a divine trial.
• Xiao Xian used his domain to suppress Dugu Fu and offered to let him join Shrek Academy if he neutralized a poison bead.
• Dugu Fu accepted the test, swallowed the bead, and collapsed after Xiao Xian's poison and hidden Spiritual Power took effect.
• Xiao Xian left Dugu Fu unconscious in the cave and went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Xiao Xian sensed the Blue Silver Emperor, destroyed the Blue Silver Grass within his Spiritual Power's reach, and cleared it from the surrounding area.

Xiao Xian sealed the Blue Silver Emperor in an iron box before activating his sixth soul skill and descending into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He survived the immense pressure and reached a vast, energy-saturated depth, where his Spiritual Power detected a section of bone.

• Xiao Xian pulled the Blue Silver Emperor from the soil, sealed it in an iron box, and hid the box in a mountain wall.
• Xiao Xian summoned eight soul rings and used his sixth soul skill to conceal himself from the spring’s pressure as he sank into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Xiao Xian descended past a thousand zhang, where Dragon Power stirred his bloodline and excited Xiao Jue.
• Xiao Xian continued downward as the spring grew viscous, his Spiritual Power shrank, and the surrounding space widened.
• Xiao Xian sensed a section of bone beneath the spring water.

Xiao Xian carefully absorbed the Ice Fire Dragon King's power from their remains at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, strengthening himself and Xiao Jue. After twelve hours, he began condensing a ninth soul ring and planned to use the abundant energy to form the soul bones he still lacked.

• Xiao Xian discovered the Ice and Fire Dragon King's icy and fiery remains, and their opposing energies intensified the corresponding powers within him and Xiao Jue.
• Xiao Xian and Xiao Jue rejected riskier methods and began absorbing the Dragon Kings' power strand by strand.
• After several hours of absorption, Xiao Jue evolved rapidly as Xiao Xian directed the energy through his body and bones.
• Xiao Xian decided to use the Dragon Kings' compatible power to condense his ninth soul ring and advance to Titled Douluo.
• After twelve hours, Xiao Xian's eight soul rings appeared, and a red-and-white ninth ring with golden lightning began to form.
• Xiao Xian ordered Xiao Jue to absorb with all its strength and continued tempering his bones, intending to form the soul bones he lacked.

Xiao Xian escaped the destabilizing Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and stabilized the conflicting energies of his soul bones while Xiao Jue took on the power of his spirit rings. Xiao Xian transferred six soul bones to Xiao Jue, whose swollen body shrank as the red-and-white spirit ring began to solidify.

• Xiao Xian realized the energy surging through him was pushing his body and meridians to their limit, so he fled the bottom of the spring before the surrounding forces erupted.
• Xiao Xian emerged from the well, crossed the ruined valley, and summoned Xiao Jue to take the spirit-ring energy while he absorbed the soul bones.
• Xiao Xian stabilized his torso bone by combining the energies of his two leg bones and suppressing the opposing ice and fire forces.
• Xiao Xian found Xiao Jue near collapse from containing the unstable spirit ring, then transferred all six soul bones into Xiao Jue.
• Xiao Jue's body shrank from more than seventy meters to sixty meters as the red-and-white spirit ring began to solidify.

Xiao Jue stabilized and unleashed a tremendous burst of power at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, then dissolved into golden dust that entered Xiao Xian and greatly increased his Soul Power. The disturbance alarmed the surrounding cities, and Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo set out to investigate while Ning Rongrong worried that Xiao Xian had returned.

• Xiao Jue's aura cleared the clouds from the valley and sky before his nine soul rings merged into his body and he vanished into golden dust.
• The golden dust entered Xiao Xian, causing his Soul Power to surge beyond his ability to measure.
• The aura pressed down on Sunset Forest's Spirit Beasts and knocked many Spirit Masters unconscious, while some hunters attacked their helpless targets.
• Spirit Masters in Heaven Dou City recognized traces of ice, fire, and Dragon Might and feared renewed conflict involving Shrek and Spirit Hall.
• Ning Rongrong heard Sword Douluo suspect that Xiao Xian's Ice Fire Golden Sacred Dragon had caused the disturbance and eagerly asked whether he had returned.
• Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo left to investigate, telling Ning Rongrong she could not come; she remained behind, worried about Xiao Xian.

Xiao Xian emerged from a breakthrough at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, discovered that his aura had triggered a deadly beast tide, and calmed the fleeing spirit beasts before leaving Sunset Forest. As Spirit Hall forces rushed toward the valley, he headed for Seven Treasure City after deciding that returning to Sea God Island remained his priority.

• Xue Ye received a report about the disturbance but, weakened and suspicious of his son's role in the deaths of his other sons, chose not to act.
• Qian Renxue learned that Xiao Xian had appeared again and ordered two hidden elders to investigate the terrifying aura near Sunset Forest.
• Salas sent the experts of Spirit Sacred Hall toward Sunset Forest after concluding that Shrek Academy had used Vast Sea City as a diversion.
• Xiao Xian awoke from his breakthrough, found that his aura had spread poisonous mist through Sunset Forest, and collected the herbs and treasures from the valley before fleeing.
• Xiao Xian used Sunlight Spore to calm the beast tide and spread the spores among birds, then left Sunset Forest while Spirit Masters converged on the valley.
• Xiao Xian recalled that he had treated the injured Poison Douluo and decided to visit Seven Treasure City on his way back toward Sea God Island.

The beast tide in Sunset Forest receded after Xiao Xian's disturbance, leaving Poison Douluo Dugu Fu to face suspicion from Spirit Hall's Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo. Xiao Xian returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, where Bone Douluo mistook him for an impostor and prepared to capture him.

• Spirit Masters converged on Sunset Forest as the beast tide began to recede, and Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo Chen Xin headed toward its center.
• Dugu Fu awoke at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, discovered his Soul Power had risen and his Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor bore strange dragon-like auras, then tried to flee.
• Pufferfish and Snake Lance Douluo intercepted Dugu Fu, while Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin watched and Spirit Masters gathered around the standoff.
• Xiao Xian sensed the confrontation and flew to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Back Mountain, where he found Ning Rongrong.
• Bone Douluo Gu Rong knocked Ning Rongrong away from Xiao Xian, mistook him for an impostor, and prepared to capture him after Ning Rongrong noticed he lacked Twenty-Four Bridges Moonlight Night.

Xiao Xian left the Seven Treasure Sect after Bone Douluo mistook him for an intruder, delivering intelligence about Spirit Hall’s plans before flying back to Sea God Island. As he reached the island, he passed the Seventh Trial and gained stronger soul rings and a hundred-thousand-year skull bone, then returned to Seahorse Douluo to begin the next stage.

• Xiao Xian left a written report about Spirit Hall for Bone Douluo and Ning Fengzhi, then swiftly departed after Bone Douluo judged his strength to be formidable.
• Bone Douluo read Xiao Xian’s report and reacted with alarm while Ning Rongrong learned that the stranger was far stronger than her grandfather.
• Xiao Xian flew toward Sea God Island, reflecting that the Seven Treasure Sect faced Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Operation and that he needed to finish his trials before confronting the crisis.
• Xiao Xian reached Sea God Island and passed the Seventh Trial, gaining ten thousand years on each soul ring and upgrading his skull bone to a hundred-thousand-year soul bone.
• Xiao Xian discovered that his evolved skull bone let his Spiritual Power wield ice and fire offensively, then spoke with Xiao Jue, who said he had felt as if he had shattered and recovered.
• Xiao Xian landed before Seahorse Douluo’s Holy Pillar, and Seahorse Douluo asked why he had returned so soon and whether he had encountered trouble on the continent.

After completing his Seventh Trial, Xiao Xian learned that his Eighth Trial was to find the lost Sea God's Heart within five years. He discovered his Soul Power had reached level ninety-six and set off toward Heaven Dou City, hoping to obtain the Vast Sea Universe Cover and considering whether Qian Renxue could be traded for it.

• Xiao Xian told Seahorse Douluo that he had completed the Seventh Trial, and his sudden display of restrained Soul Power left Seahorse Douluo suspecting he had become a Super Douluo.
• Bo Saixi gave Xiao Xian his Eighth Trial: find the Sea God's Heart within five years, while warning him that it was lost and not in the sea.
• Xiao Xian asked Bo Saixi to assess his Soul Power, and she sensed that he had reached level ninety-six, shocking her and Sea Dragon Douluo.
• Xiao Xian left Sea God Island, checked on Xiao Bai, and found no sign of his teacher and companions on Volcano Island.
• Xiao Xian decided to head to Heaven Dou City and wondered whether he could trade Qian Renxue for the Vast Sea Universe Cover.

Xiao Xian investigated the aftermath of Dugu Fu’s battle with Spirit Hall and found Poison Douluo hiding at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After learning Spirit Hall planned to attack the Upper Three Sects and Heaven Dou, Xiao Xian accompanied Dugu Fu toward Seven Treasure City and hinted he had ways to protect them.

• Xiao Xian searched Spirit Hall branches for information and learned that Dugu Fu had killed a Titled Douluo, while Salas was gravely injured.
• Xiao Xian examined the battle site at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, found traces of Sword Douluo’s Seven Killing Sword energy, and reconstructed parts of the fight.

• Dugu Fu headed for Seven Treasure City with Xiao Xian, who hinted that he had a plan to turn the situation around.

Xiao Xian arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Dugu Fu to discuss Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Operation and the threat it posed to the sect. Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo recognized Xiao Xian, but after learning he had left the mysterious letter, Ning Fengzhi asked him to release his martial soul so they could verify his identity.

• Dugu Fu weighed Spirit Hall’s strength, vowed to kill Pufferfish and Salas for targeting his granddaughter, and followed Xiao Xian out of Sunset Forest.
• Xiao Xian and Dugu Fu reached Seven Treasure City, where Xiao Xian gave Dugu Fu medicinal herbs that restored his complexion and green hair.
• Dugu Fu introduced himself to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect’s guards, and they escorted him and Xiao Xian to the main hall.
• While waiting for Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Fu considered protecting the sect by setting a poison array at its entrance.
• Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo arrived, and Xiao Xian explained that he had been in Sunset Forest during Spirit Hall’s attack and had left the letter at the sect.
• Ning Fengzhi asked Xiao Xian to release his martial soul so he and Sword Douluo could inspect it.

Xiao Xian proved his identity to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo by revealing Xiao Jue, then disclosed that he had become a Titled Douluo through a god's recognition. As they discussed Spirit Hall’s planned Soul Hunting Operation and Qian Renxue’s impersonation of Xue Qinghe, Dugu Fu suggested he might be able to help with Emperor Xue Ye’s suspected poisoning.

• Ning Fengzhi asked Xiao Xian to summon his Martial Soul, and Xiao Xian revealed the enormous Golden Sacred Dragon Xiao Jue to confirm who he was.
• Xiao Xian told Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo that he had gained a god’s recognition, obtained nine soul rings, and become a Titled Douluo.
• Xiao Xian described the City of Slaughter, Poseidon’s inheritance, and Spirit Hall’s Angel God inheritance, then warned Ning Fengzhi that Qian Renxue had impersonated Xue Qinghe for years.
• Ning Fengzhi explained that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had few options to survive Spirit Hall’s Soul Hunting Operation, while Xiao Xian stressed the need to address the Heaven Dou Empire as well.
• Dugu Fu suspected Emperor Xue Ye had been poisoned and said he might have a way to help.

Ning Fengzhi, Dugu Fu, Sword Douluo, and Xiao Xian reached Xue Ye and exposed Spirit Hall’s long-running impersonation of Xue Qinghe and poisoning of the emperor. Xue Ye ordered them to capture the false prince, but when they confronted him, he loudly accused Ning Fengzhi of plotting rebellion.

• Ning Fengzhi led Dugu Fu, Sword Douluo, and Xiao Xian through hidden routes to the imperial palace to warn Xue Ye and seize the false Xue Qinghe.
• Ning Fengzhi revealed that Spirit Hall had replaced Xue Qinghe years earlier and killed Xue Ye’s other sons, prompting Xue Ye to order the group to capture the impostor quickly.
• Dugu Fu confirmed that Xue Ye had been poisoned with a difficult-to-detect mixed toxin and said he could counter it with the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor’s venom.
• Ning Fengzhi and the others went to the Prince’s Mansion, where Xue Qinghe welcomed them and appeared pleased to see Xiao Xian alive.
• Sword Douluo pointed his Seven Killing Sword at Xue Qinghe’s throat, and Xue Qinghe shouted that Ning Fengzhi was plotting rebellion.
• Xiao Xian told Xue Qinghe to stop acting because his performance was useless.
