• Danheng agreed to inform the owner of his reserved ship before arranging passage with Gao Sheng’s crew.

Danheng sought passage aboard the Gao Brothers' ship after a violent storm destroyed a fleet and disrupted sailings across Vast Sea City. Gao Qiang planned to depart in two days despite the danger, and Danheng agreed to meet him at the harbor that morning.

• The shipowner told Danheng that a massive storm had swallowed an old fleet and warned him that the sea had become increasingly dangerous.

• At dusk, Gao Qiang found Danheng still standing on deck and called him to dinner.

Danheng sailed with Gao Qiang and the others toward Sea God Island, enduring several calm days at sea before a pirate ship appeared behind the Prosperous Vessel.

• Gao Qiang thanked the sailors for joining the dangerous voyage and promised them extra pay, meals, and a paid week off after they returned.
• Danheng watched the other passengers struggle with seasickness while he and the middle-aged man ate; Gao Qiang checked that they were all right.

• Gao Sheng returned from hiding and told Danheng that Gao Qiang’s martial soul was the Tempest Sea Serpent; Danheng asked what martial soul Gao Sheng had and about their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng escaped a pursuing pirate crew, but their celebration ended when the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King appeared and destroyed the pirate ship. The brothers activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to pull the Prosperous Vessel away at speed, though they feared they could not outrun the beast for long.

• Gao Qiang used a water arrow and a huge wave to attack the pirate ship, then returned to the Prosperous Vessel after striking its captain.

• Gao Sheng recognized the creature as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and warned Gao Qiang to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King smashed the pursuing pirate ship with its tail, and Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng transformed into a shark to pull the Prosperous Vessel away.
• Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng accelerated the ship with Ride the Wind and Break the Waves, but worried their Soul Power would not last long enough to escape the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King surfaced and roared at Danheng, who observed the whale’s injuries and immense cultivation.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King launched water arrows at Danheng, who grew dragon horns and tapped the space before him with one finger.

• Danheng stopped the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s water attacks and destroyed his domain, making the whale realize he was outmatched.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King tried to flee, but Danheng took control of the seawater and suspended him in an empty space.
• Danheng said he would make two attacks in return for the whale’s two strikes, then formed a giant dragon out of seawater.
• Danheng pushed the Prosperous Vessel farther away from the battle as Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng watched him restrain the whale in disbelief.
• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King froze before the charging water dragon and wondered whether Danheng was a supreme god from the God Realm.

Danheng confronted Poseidon after the Sea God descended to reclaim his authority and protect the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Poseidon vanished before Danheng answered, and Danheng restored the whale king’s ability to control nearby seawater before preparing another attack.

• Danheng crushed the force trying to seize control of the sea, prompting Poseidon to appear and demand that he spare the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
• Poseidon explained that the whale king was the final trial for his inheritor and asked Danheng to return his authority over the sea.
• Poseidon’s phantom began to tremble and disappeared before Danheng responded, leaving the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King free of Danheng’s hold over the sea.
• Danheng returned control of the nearby seawater to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and said he could leave if he survived the next strike.
• Danheng summoned a vast storm and formed a towering seawater spear above the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who prepared to defend himself.

Danheng spared the gravely wounded Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, restored the sea, and continued aboard the Prosperous Vessel. After briefly meeting Captain Purple Pearl, the ship reached Sea God Island.

• The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King escaped Danheng’s fatal attacks with help from a weaker soul beast, then sank into the ocean after Danheng chose not to pursue him.
• Danheng restored the sea and returned to the Prosperous Vessel, while Poseidon regained his authority over the sea and sensed that punishment for his descent was approaching.
• The Prosperous Vessel’s crew recovered from the ordeal, and Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng acted timidly around Danheng after learning how powerful he was.
• The Prosperous Vessel encountered Captain Purple Pearl, who asked whether Gao Qiang had come from the Skycloud Sea Region and lost interest after hearing a ten-thousand-year soul beast had caused a storm there.
• The Prosperous Vessel continued its journey and arrived at Sea God Island three days later.

• Danheng declined to wait and said he would go with the guards, who fell silent when he dismissed their ability to threaten him.

Danheng reached Seahorse Pillar and tried to receive the Sea God's trial, but the pillar failed to respond. Seahorse Douluo demanded that Danheng either test the other pillars or leave Sea God Island, while Danheng wanted him to summon Bo Saixi instead.

• A middle-aged man led Danheng to Seahorse Pillar, where Danheng sensed Poseidon's power and met Seahorse Douluo.
• Danheng appeared beside Seahorse Douluo despite the blue barrier, then agreed to follow the usual procedure for receiving a trial.
• Seahorse Douluo tried to activate Seahorse Pillar, but it gave no response, even when he tried again.
• Seahorse Douluo suggested that Danheng test the other six Holy Pillars and said he would notify the High Priest if they all failed.
• Danheng declined to visit the other pillars and preferred that Seahorse Douluo summon Bo Saixi, so Seahorse Douluo ordered him to leave.

Bo Saixi intervened when the Sacred Pillar failed to respond to Danheng, then granted him permission to move freely around Sea God Island after he said he wanted to leave Douluo Continent. She revealed the Sea God had warned her not to make an enemy of him and escorted him to the Sea God Hall.

• Bo Saixi appeared at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar and stopped Seahorse Douluo from clashing with Danheng.

• Bo Saixi led Danheng toward the Sea God Hall while Seahorse Douluo received orders to let Danheng move freely around the island.

Danheng visited Sea God Hall and saw the Sea God Trident before leaving Bo Saixi alone with her thoughts of Tang Chen and the Sea God's heir. Outside, he watched the train carriage nearly solidify and hoped the last part of his journey would pass without trouble.

• Danheng entered Sea God Hall with Bo Saixi and recognized the Sea God Trident on the platform.
• Bo Saixi told Danheng he could look around but warned him not to touch anything, and Danheng soon left without disturbing her.
