• Ning Qi drew down the third through ninth lightning tribulations, enduring their varied rule-infused attacks and rebuilding his body after each one.
• After the ninth strike, only a small group of badly injured Dao Integration cultivators remained, the Two Realm Wills had retreated to the edge, and the tribulation clouds still showed no sign of diminishing.

Ning Qi transformed his tribulation into a means of transcending the limits of the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Vast Origin Realm, ultimately absorbing the World Sea’s power and passing thirty-six Thunder Tribulations. He emerged in a mysterious new form, leaving the Two Realm Wills convinced that he would surpass the Three Ancestors if he continued to grow.

• Ning Qi charged into the Thunder Cloud, causing his tribulation to awaken emotions and unleash the Nine Sons Thunder Tribulation against the Two Realm Wills.

• Ning Qi recognized the Shadowy Figure and let him approach the armies, then urged the Body Integration Realm cultivators who had reached their limits to undergo tribulation.
• Sword Ancestor, Qi Keqing, and the eligible cultivators rose into the sky as tribulation clouds gathered, while the Shadowy Figure overcame his fear and charged at them with lightning surging from his body.

Ning Qi used Fan Cheng’s Residual Thunder to alter the tribulation of Sword Ancestor and the others, but Fan Cheng seized control of the storm and attacked everyone beneath it. Ning Qi stopped the thunder, reversed it, and pulled Fan Cheng into the clouds, where the lightning destroyed him.

• Ning Qi recognized Fan Cheng and realized he could use the Residual Thunder in Fan Cheng’s body to alter Sword Ancestor and the others’ tribulation.

• Ning Qi reversed the tribulation lightning, erased Fan Cheng, and spared the cultivators below from the attack.
• Ren Boping, Lang Yingying, Jiang Yuyue, Qing Chu Lan, Zhu Yanchuan, and Leng Qing'ao realized Ning Qi had intervened, while Zhu Yanchuan regretted leaving his group.

Ning Qi used the rules of the Vast Origin Realm and World Sea to create a powerful tribulation that tempered Sword Ancestor, Qi Keqing, and dozens of other cultivators, teaching them the Tribulation Birth Myriad Dao Art. Most stopped after the ninth tribulation, while Qi Keqing and Sword Ancestor endured further trials; Sword Ancestor emerged from the eighteenth with gray-black Evil Qi streaming from a newly opened Heavenly Eye toward Ning Qi.

• Ning Qi gathered the Vast Origin Realm's rules and the War Domain's World Sea Rules into his Tribulation Lightning and began the first tribulation for Sword Ancestor and the other cultivators.

• After the eighteenth tribulation, Sword Ancestor cleaved apart his lightning sphere, and gray-black Evil Qi streamed from the Heavenly Eye between his brows toward Ning Qi.

After the Sword Ancestor broke through, Ning Qi used his tribulation lightning to force out and battle the strange evil qi sealed in the Sword Ancestor’s body. Ning Qi suppressed it with his Golden Key, then used the remaining tribulation cloud to temper his followers, leaving them stronger and the two realm wills wary of his growing influence.

• The Sword Ancestor’s Great Dao Injury healed, but the evil qi forced from his body survived his sword attack and crawled into Ning Qi’s Tribulation Cloud.
• The evil qi adapted to and absorbed tribulation lightning, so Ning Qi joined his will with the lightning to drive its particles together and trap them.

Ning Qi met Moon Sea Sect Master Zhao Yujun, heard Sea Ancestor's assurances, and learned that Sea Ancestor saw a resemblance between him and herself.

• Ning Qi and Leng Qing'ao crossed into the Central Domain and encountered patrols Gu Qingyan of Moon Sea Immortal Sect and Zhou Hanshan of Zhou Mountain Immortal Sect.

• Zhao Yujun relayed Sea Ancestor's promise to protect Ning Qi's Profound Truth Domain and reward his contributions in the War Domain.
• Zhao Yujun told Ning Qi that Sea Ancestor thought he resembled her, especially in his use of World Sea Power.
