After the husband-selection tournament ended in a farce, Qiao Mo focused on cultivation while Lin Bai promised to help her reclaim Hundred Victories Pavilion. Lin Bai advanced his Azure Lotus Swordplay, and Tianshui Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan agreed to settle their dispute over the Deep Sea Spring’s Celestial Vein with a martial competition one month later.

• Lin Bai explained that he had entered the tournament to help Yi Gu reclaim Contribution Points, and Qiao Mo thanked both men before deciding to focus on cultivation and regain Hundred Victories Pavilion through her strength.
• Yi Gu vowed to make Qi Kun and Wu Xiu pay, and he, Lin Bai, and Qiao Mo drank together before Lin Bai and Yi Gu left White Mist Island at midnight.
• The tournament’s farcical end damaged Qi Kun and Wu Xiu’s standing, and Sect Master harshly berated them at an Elder Council meeting.

• The two forces agreed to hold a martial competition for Dao God martial artists one month later to determine the division of the Celestial Vein’s benefits.

Lin Bai learned that the Tianshui Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan would hold a high-stakes hunting competition in Storm City, with both sides recalling their Dao God fighters and offering enormous rewards. Qiao Mo decided to participate, while Lin Bai suspected the competition was connected to the Celestial Vein and concealed a larger conflict.

• Yi Gu and Qiao Mo visited Lin Bai on Bright Moon Island and told him about the competition scheduled for a month later in Storm City.
• Qiao Mo explained that the sect had recalled all its Dao God fighters, making the event seem more like preparation for war than an ordinary competition.
• Yi Gu described the three-day hunt, its token rewards, and the limit of fifty fighters per side; Qiao Mo added that a single Commander Token would be worth ten times an ordinary token.
• Qiao Mo said she would enter to earn Contribution Points, attract the sect's attention, and investigate her suspicion that the competition concealed a major secret.
• Lin Bai recalled the Quasi-Dragon Sons Ao Jie and Ao Qing and suspected the competition was tied to the Celestial Vein.

Lin Bai criticized Tianshui Sect’s martial competition with the Flood Dragon Clan, arguing that the sect’s preparations would draw dangerous attention to both sides and their Celestial Vein. He proposed portraying the contest as revenge for slain disciples, leaving Li Zai'en and the Sect Master to consider the excuse.

• Qiao Mo and Yi Gu sensed a powerful gaze from beyond the clouds, excused themselves, and left Lin Bai to receive his hidden guest.
• Lin Bai called the Tianshui Sect Master and the Flood Dragon Clan patriarch utterly foolish, prompting Li Zai'en to appear and question him.
• Li Zai'en explained that the competition’s tokens would determine how the Celestial Vein’s benefits were divided, while Commander Tokens could shift each side’s share by ten percent.
• Lin Bai argued that Tianshui Sect’s disciples were outmatched by the Flood Dragon Clan’s Quasi-Dragon Sons and criticized the sect for offering large rewards and recalling its Dao God disciples.
• Lin Bai warned that the mass summons would alarm rival forces and that news of the Celestial Vein could bring disaster upon Tianshui Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan.
• Lin Bai suggested claiming that the Flood Dragon Clan had killed hundreds of Tianshui Sect disciples, giving the competition a public pretext; Li Zai'en and the Sect Master considered his proposal.

Lin Bai agreed to join the Tianshui Sect's martial competition against the Flood Dragon Clan in exchange for the rewards the sect had promised him. Li Zai'en then revealed that the Seven-Colored Splendor Immortal Leaf might still be hidden in an old Tianshui Sect secret realm.

• The Tianshui Sect spread a story that the Flood Dragon Clan had slaughtered its disciples to explain why it valued the martial competition so highly.
• Li Zai'en told Lin Bai that the Tianshui Sect hoped to divide the Celestial Veins six-four with the Flood Dragon Clan and would accept no less than seven-three.

• Lin Bai agreed to participate after Li Zai'en promised the sect would fulfill its rewards once the Celestial Veins matter was settled.
• Li Zai'en told Lin Bai that a secret realm in the Spring Lake Sea Region had once contained the Seven-Colored Splendor Immortal Leaf, and that its hidden planting area might remain undiscovered.

Elder Li revealed that the Tianshui Sect had a hidden second secret realm where rare medicinal herbs grew, and gave Lin Bai a one-use key to retrieve the Seven-Colored Splendor Immortal Leaf with Tang Wei. Lin Bai traveled to the Spring Lake Sea Region and contacted Tang Wei, then waited for her to find him.

• Elder Li explained that the Tianshui Sect secretly sent disciples into a second secret realm to harvest medicinal herbs, which matured faster there and could not safely be transplanted.
• Elder Li gave Lin Bai a one-use key to the second secret realm and said Tang Wei would accompany him to retrieve the Seven-Colored Splendor Immortal Leaf.
• Elder Li told Lin Bai that he would refine Sky Peak Divine Radiance Pills if Lin Bai gathered the necessary herbs, and Lin Bai decided to leave the next day.
• Lin Bai traveled to the Spring Lake Sea Region and admired its peaceful scenery.
• Lin Bai contacted Tang Wei with the Voice Transmission Token, gave her his location, and waited by the sea for her to arrive.

Lin Bai followed Tang Wei into the first secret realm, where they discovered a confrontation between Tianshui Sect disciples and the Colorful Scale Clan. Tang Wei went to investigate, and Lin Bai followed her to the standoff.

• Tang Wei introduced herself and escorted Lin Bai toward the secret realm, warning him that he could take only the Seven-Colored Splendor Immortal Leaf from the second realm’s spiritual medicine garden.
• Tang Wei and Lin Bai crossed a formation into the first secret realm and traveled through its ruined mountain Spirit Fields in search of the second realm’s entrance.
• A clash erupted nearby, and Tang Wei recognized Yu Lu’s voice before telling Lin Bai to wait while she went to investigate.
• Lin Bai followed Tang Wei and found dozens of Tianshui Sect disciples facing more than twenty Dao God Peak members of the Colorful Scale Clan.

Tang Wei defended the Tianshui Sect’s Spirit Field from Yu Lu and the Colorful Scale Clan, killing several attackers with a powerful palm strike. Yu Le, the Colorful Scale Clan’s Saint Son, arrived after Yu Lu appealed to him, and the confrontation continued.

• Lin Bai watched as Yu Lu accused the Tianshui Sect disciples of claiming the Colorful Scale Clan’s Spirit Field and threatened them.
• Tang Wei arrived and said the Spirit Field belonged to the Tianshui Sect under the alliance, then challenged Yu Lu to attack.
• Tang Wei struck the Colorful Scale Clan members with a vast palm, killing several and forcing the survivors to flee.
• Yu Lu warned Tang Wei that the Colorful Scale Clan’s Saint Son had arrived, and Tang Wei mocked Yu Le’s strength.
• Yu Le arrived with dozens of people, listened to Yu Lu’s complaint, and turned a cold gaze toward Tang Wei.

Lin Bai watched Yu Le overpower Tang Wei with a powerful blue pearl during a dispute over a Spirit Field. To keep Tang Wei alive as his guide to the Tianshui Sect’s second secret realm, Lin Bai intervened, and Yu Le turned the pearl’s attack on him.

• Yu Le and Tang Wei argued over ownership of the Spirit Field, and Yu Le attacked her with water spiritual power.
• Yu Le summoned a powerful blue pearl that fired swordlike raindrops, injuring Tang Wei and driving her toward defeat.
• Lin Bai realized that Tang Wei’s death would leave him unable to find the entrance to the second secret realm, so he attacked the pearl with a sword strike.
• The pearl’s defensive light shattered Lin Bai’s sword strike, and Lin Bai confronted Yu Le.
• Yu Le sent the pearl’s raindrops toward Lin Bai as Tang Wei shouted a warning.

Lin Bai defeated Yu Le by using the Yellow Springs Demon Bone to break through the Sea God Pearl’s defenses, then took the treasure for himself. Yu Le escaped after Lin Bai cut down several Colorful Scale Clan fighters, leaving the conflict unresolved.

• Tang Wei warned Lin Bai that Yu Le was attacking with the Colorful Scale Clan’s Sea God Pearl, but its droplets wounded Lin Bai.
• Lin Bai identified the Sea God Pearl as a damaged Grand Yi Divine Weapon and used the Demonic Sword to break through its rain attacks, though he could not penetrate its blue defensive barrier.
• Lin Bai merged the Yellow Springs Demon Bone into his body and struck Yu Le’s barrier with a powerful sword attack, shattering it and gravely wounding Yu Le.
• Lin Bai took the Sea God Pearl as Yu Le and the Colorful Scale Clan fighters rushed to retrieve it.
• Lin Bai cut down several Colorful Scale Clan fighters and wounded Yu Le again, but Yu Le escaped with a strange technique.

Lin Bai obtained the Seven-Colored Splendor Immortal Leaf petals he needed from the second secret realm after taking the Sea God Pearl from Yu Le. He left the Spring Lake Sea Region despite Tang Wei warning him that the Colorful Scale Clan would pursue him for the pearl.

• Lin Bai put the Sea God Pearl in his Storage Bag after Yu Le, Yu Lu, and the other wounded Colorful Scale Clan members escaped.
• Tang Wei warned Lin Bai that the Colorful Scale Clan would demand its supreme treasure back, then took him to the second secret realm.
• Lin Bai used Li Zai'en's runic key to enter the mountain realm and found more than seven hundred Spirit Fields.
• Tang Wei showed Lin Bai the Seven-Colored Splendor Immortal Leaf, gave him its seven medicinal petals, and kept its poisonous parts for the sect.
• Lin Bai left the secret realm and returned to the Spring Lake Sea Region, dismissing Tang Wei's warning that the Colorful Scale Clan might kill him for the Sea God Pearl.

Tang Wei told Li Zai'en that Lin Bai had taken Yu Le’s Sea God Pearl, and Li Zai'en agreed to speak for him if the Colorful Scale Clan objected. Back on Bright Moon Island, Lin Bai refined the pearl and learned it was an unfinished Grand Yi Divine Weapon whose power depended on the user’s spiritual power.

• Tang Wei reported Lin Bai’s actions to Li Zai'en, who praised Lin Bai and promised to defend him if the Colorful Scale Clan came asking for the Sea God Pearl.
• Yu Le raged over losing the pearl and ordered Yu Lu to investigate Lin Bai at the Tianshui Sect rather than inform the Colorful Scale Clan.
• Lin Bai returned to Bright Moon Island and replaced Yu Le’s divine sense in the Sea God Pearl with his own.
• Lin Bai tested the pearl and filled the sky with powerful blue water droplets, far exceeding the number Yu Le could summon.
• Lin Bai consulted a book that identified the Sea God Pearl as an incomplete Grand Yi Divine Weapon, with its offensive and defensive power tied to the user’s spiritual cultivation.

Lin Bai mastered the Sea God Pearl and asked Li Zai'en to refine his Sky Peak Divine Radiance Pill while preparing for the contest with the Flood Dragon Clan. After receiving both teams’ rosters, Lin Bai found that the sect had summoned Tang Wei and other unfamiliar contestants, whose backgrounds remained unclear.

• Lin Bai calculated that he could condense 999 drops of Sea God's Tears and gave Li Zai'en the ingredients to refine his Sky Peak Divine Radiance Pill.

• Lin Bai noticed Tang Wei and other unfamiliar names on the Tianshui Sect roster, but Qiao Mo could not explain Tang Wei's background.

Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, and Yi Gu traveled to Storm City for the martial contest between Tianshui Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan. After the Flood Dragon Clan arrived in a show of force, Lin Bai intervened when Zhao Bai tried to force Qiao Mo to go with him, and Zhao Bai challenged him.

• Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, and Yi Gu left Tianshui Sect for Storm City and spent half a day sightseeing before heading to report to Li Zai'en.
• Prince Yan led Ao Jie, Ao Qing, Ao Hai, and the Flood Dragon Clan's disciples into Storm City atop towering waves.

• Zhao Bai mocked Lin Bai as a nobody after Yi Gu warned him not to provoke Lin Bai.

Lin Bai defended Qiao Mo from Zhao Bai’s harassment, defeating Zhao Bai’s guards and Uncle Fu before continuing to the Tianshui Sect’s residence in Storm City. There, he met Li Zai'en and the sect’s top-ranked young experts, several of whom watched him with hostility.

• Zhao Bai blocked Lin Bai, Yi Gu, and Qiao Mo and demanded that Qiao Mo be left behind.
• Lin Bai struck Zhao Bai and sent his lackeys flying when they attacked.
• Uncle Fu confronted Lin Bai, but Lin Bai shattered his right arm with a punch.
• Yi Gu revealed Lin Bai’s identity as a Three Wonders Disciple of the Tianshui Sect, and the group continued to the sect’s Storm City residence.
• Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, and Yi Gu met Li Zai'en in the main hall, where Wu Di, Qi Liang, Pan Hun, Li Lu, Tang Wei, and other top-ranked disciples were gathered.

Lin Bai met Li Yuanzong, the Tianshui Sect’s top-ranked Dao God and a leading candidate for Saint Heir, as the sect prepared for its martial contest against the Flood Dragon Clan. Li Yuanzong challenged Lin Bai over Pan Hun’s defeat, and Lin Bai accepted, leaving their rivalry unresolved as Li Zai'en turned the meeting to the contest.

• Lin Bai and Qiao Mo entered the main hall, where they met Li Yuanzong, the Grand Elder’s personal disciple and longtime first-ranked fighter on the Tianshui Dao God Rankings.
• Li Yuanzong warned Qiao Mo to be careful in the contest and told Lin Bai he had heard about Pan Hun’s defeat.
• Li Yuanzong revealed that he had guided Pan Hun and suggested that he and Lin Bai spar, making his intent to avenge Pan Hun clear.
• Lin Bai accepted the challenge and taunted Li Yuanzong about making their future fight more exciting, prompting a tense reaction from those present.
• Li Zai'en stopped their exchange and said the meeting concerned the martial contest with the Flood Dragon Clan, which the Sect Master had ordered the Tianshui Sect to win.

Li Zai'en explained that the Tianshui Sect planned to use treasures to restrain the Flood Dragon Clan's three Quasi-Dragon Sons while its disciples collected token points. Li Yuanzong rejected the plan and rallied the other disciples behind his confidence, while Lin Bai warned Li Zai'en that Li Yuanzong would die if he faced the three.

• Li Zai'en told Lin Bai, Li Yuanzong, and the others that the sect would use treasures to hold back Ao Jie, Ao Qing, and Ao Hai while its warriors defeated the remaining Flood Dragon Clan fighters.
• Li Yuanzong accused the sect of underestimating him and insisted that he would defeat the three Quasi-Dragon Sons fairly in the competition.
• Wu Di, Qi Liang, Li Lu, and the other disciples supported Li Yuanzong and vowed to win, so Li Zai'en let them leave to prepare.
• Li Zai'en asked Lin Bai to stay behind and admitted that he hoped Li Yuanzong could defeat the three Quasi-Dragon Sons and help restore the Tianshui Sect's standing.
• Lin Bai told Li Zai'en that Li Yuanzong was no match for the three and would certainly die if he encountered them.

Lin Bai warned Li Zai'en that Li Yuanzong would lose to the Quasi-Dragon Sons, then was lured into a courtyard where Li Yuanzong demanded he apologize to Pan Hun. Li Yuanzong trapped Lin Bai with a formation, but someone broke through it just as the confrontation was about to turn violent.

• Lin Bai told Li Zai'en that Li Yuanzong would undoubtedly die if he faced the three Quasi-Dragon Sons, but Li Zai'en dismissed his warning as a grudge.
• Pan Hun and Li Lu stopped Lin Bai and escorted him to Li Yuanzong's courtyard, where many of the Tianshui Dao God Rankings' top experts had gathered.
• Li Yuanzong demanded that Lin Bai kneel and kowtow to Pan Hun, threatening to keep him in the courtyard if he refused.
• Li Yuanzong sealed the courtyard with a formation, and Lin Bai challenged him to fight, saying he was no match for him.
• Li Yuanzong crushed his teacup and unleashed his aura as Lin Bai prepared to attack, but an explosion outside the door shattered the formation.

Qin Yao and her allies rescued Lin Bai from Li Yuanzong, and Lin Bai learned why Qin Yao hated him. The group discussed the dangerous Flood Dragon Clan contestants, while Lin Bai remained confident ahead of the martial competition.

• Lin Bai reviewed Qin Yao's list of competitors and planned to use the martial competition to earn Contribution Points for immortal jades.

Lin Bai joined Tianshui Sect’s contest with the Flood Dragon Clan to earn Contribution Points, and the contestants arrived in the dangerous Fanged Sea Region. Qiao Mo explained the region’s pirate history and suggested Storm City might secretly support the pirates.

• Lin Bai considered the Contribution Points he could earn in the contest, since his other promised rewards had not yet been paid.
• More than a million martial artists gathered in Storm City to watch the contest through projection arrays.
• Li Zai'en led fifty Tianshui Sect contestants, including Lin Bai and Qiao Mo, to an unnamed island in the Fanged Sea Region.
• Qiao Mo told Lin Bai that the Fanged Sea Region had become a haven for pirates and that the Three Great Pirates had risen there.
• Qiao Mo suggested that Storm City might be raising the pirates itself, leaving Lin Bai shocked.

Lin Bai and Qiao Mo suspected the Heaven and Earth Gate was backing the pirates and using Storm City to weaken the Tianshui Sect. The competition between the Tianshui Sect and the Flood Dragon Clan began, with the disciples entering a three-day contest in the Fanged Sea Region.

• Qiao Mo explained the Tianshui Sect's suspicions about who supported the pirates, and Lin Bai guessed that the Heaven and Earth Gate was behind Storm City and the Three Great Pirates.
• Prince Yan arrived with the Flood Dragon Clan's martial artists, and Li Zai'en agreed to begin the competition.
• Prince Yan and Li Zai'en announced that the contest would last three days in the Fanged Sea Region, where each side's disciples would be responsible for their own lives.
• Li Zai'en and Prince Yan distributed Ordinary Tokens and Commander Tokens, which would determine the competition's winner by point value.

Prince Yan gave Lin Bai the Commander Token after recognizing an aura that reminded him of their past fight. With the martial competition about to begin, Li Zai'en warned Lin Bai that the token would make him a target and urged him to hide.

• Prince Yan's dragon aura pressured the Tianshui Sect martial artists as he distributed tokens, but Lin Bai resisted it with his Sword Heart.
• Prince Yan recognized Lin Bai's aura, gave him the Golden Commander Token, and took back his Ordinary Token.

• Li Zai'en warned Lin Bai to hide during the competition and said the Tianshui Sect disciples would try to seize the Commander Token from a weaker Flood Dragon Clan martial artist.

The duel began, and Lin Bai let a Flood Dragon Clan spy track him while pretending he planned to hide. Long Qing arrived at the island where Lin Bai was waiting, intending to seize the Commander Token.

• Prince Yan sent the Flood Dragon Clan martial artists out first, and the Tianshui Sect disciples followed half an hour later.
• Qiao Mo and Qin Yao urged Lin Bai to be careful, but he sent Qiao Mo off with Qin Yao and claimed he would hide alone.
• Lin Bai secretly decided to pursue Contribution Points and allowed a Flood Dragon Clan spy to follow him across the Fanged Sea Region.
• Lin Bai settled on an island cliff and drank wine while the spy reported his location and waited for reinforcements.
• Long Qing arrived, learned Lin Bai was still on the island, and asked the spy whether he had told anyone else.

Lin Bai fought and killed Long Qing, a Flood Dragon Clan warrior sent to take his head and recover the Commander Token. A clansman watching from the water summoned Long Yun after witnessing Long Qing's death.

• Long Qing learned that Lin Bai's location had been found and set out to kill him for Prince Yan and claim the Commander Token.
• Long Qing confronted Lin Bai on the island, and they argued about whether Ao or Long was the orthodox Dragon Clan surname.

• Lin Bai refined Long Qing's dragon blood, while the Flood Dragon Clan watcher sent word to Long Yun that Long Qing had been killed.

Lin Bai killed Long Yun after defeating his water-and-thunder attacks, then waited on the island for another challenger. Long Xiu reported Long Yun and Long Qing's deaths to Long Ba, naming Lin Bai as their killer.

• Long Yun learned that Lin Bai had killed Long Qing and went to the island where Lin Bai was hiding.
• Long Yun surrounded the island with towering waves and attacked Lin Bai with sword-like currents.
• Lin Bai swept away Long Yun's water attack with a single sword strike, prompting Long Yun to transform into a hundred-zhang flood dragon and summon divine thunder.
• Lin Bai dodged Long Yun's thunder and beheaded him with a swift sword strike.
• Lin Bai absorbed Long Yun's dragon blood, took his Storage Bag and martial contest token, and returned to the cliff to wait.
• Long Xiu contacted Long Ba and revealed that Lin Bai had killed both Long Yun and Long Qing.

Long Ba arrived to confront Lin Bai and told him that the Flood Dragon Clan had captured Li Yuanzong and badly defeated the Tianshui Sect participants. Long Ba attacked Lin Bai, shattering the island, and Lin Bai realized he faced an opponent stronger than Long Qing and Long Yun.

• Long Ba recognized that Lin Bai had deliberately left Long Xiu alive as bait, then ordered Long Xiu to leave while he went to confront Lin Bai.
• Long Ba inspected the corpses of Long Qing and Long Yun and recognized the skill behind Lin Bai’s swordsmanship before meeting him on the cliff.
