Arc 16The Valley’s Trials
Long Zhanye and the Shrek group faced the Valley of Universe Love Inquiry, where the trials exposed their feelings and forced them into deadly adventures. Long Zhanye fought Tang San, won by using the Soul-Absorbing Tablet, rejected the Sea God’s legacy, and was struck by a mysterious figure’s sphere of light.
- Long Zhanye absorbed the valley’s Chaos Qi, evolved his Martial Soul into the Sky-Propping Eye, and followed Ye Guyi to the Golden Sun and Silver Moon lake.
- The Love God separated the group and tested their sincerity, with Beibei confessing his love for Tang Ya and Ye Guyi admitting she loved Long Zhanye.
- The wheel sent Xu Sanshi and Beibei into a deep adventure after they failed to complete a kissing task, while Long Zhanye chose the same fate rather than complete an intimate trial with Wang Qiu'er.
- Long Zhanye entered a vision where the Body Sect attacked Xuan Zi and he brutally killed Ma Xiaotao and Xuan Zi before the Love God transported him away.
- Long Zhanye fought the blue-gold figure in the third Truth Adventure assessment and recognized him as Tang San, the Sea God and founder of the Tang Sect.
- Long Zhanye used his Puppet and the Soul-Absorbing Tablet to wound Tang San and secure victory, but rejected Tang San’s offer to inherit the Sea God’s legacy and refused to abandon his feud with Shrek.
- As Tang San departed, a rainbow-clad figure emerged from a rift and sent a pale-pink sphere of light into Long Zhanye’s chest.
