Bo Saixi announced the Sixth Trial: the Shrek Seven Devils had to endure her attacks for the time it took an incense stick to burn, while Zhang Yang faced her separately.

Zhang Yang passed the Sea God Sixth Trial by using Sunshine Everywhere to burn through the incense while fighting Bo Saixi, then restored the battlefield with a forest.

• At lunch, Zhang Yang learned that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had been in bed until three hours earlier, while Xiao Wu criticized the men.

Tang San and Zhang Yang chose to pursue cooperation between the Tang Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire, with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud as their true target because they believed it was the Sea God's Heart. The group ended the day together, while Zhang Yang helped Ning Rongrong sort her new clothes and their evening turned into a night of revelry.

Zhang Yang and Ning Fengzhi moved to secure the Sea God's Heart from the Heaven Dou Empire by offering the improved Godly Zhuge Crossbow, hoping to complete the deal before Xue Qinghe's ascension. They reached the ailing Emperor Xue Ye's bedchamber with Tang Sect Elder Titan to begin negotiations.

The chapter ended with Fourth Prince Xue Beng kneeling before Ning Fengzhi and pleading for his life, leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect stunned.
