Chapter Summaries

Yun Feng prepared to cross toward Sea God Island with Purple Pearl’s warning about the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, then used the Dragon Abyss Boat to explore and practice navigating underwater. After the group learned to operate the boat and surfaced to replenish its air, they praised its usefulness.

• Purple Pearl warned Yun Feng not to harm any Demon Soul Great White Sharks and said they were least active at the darkest part of night.
• Purple Pearl ordered her crew to weigh anchor and return to port, leaving Yun Feng and the others behind.
• Yun Feng summoned the Dragon Abyss Boat, and the group boarded it and began testing its controls.
• Yun Feng explained how the boat’s oars and stern generated thrust, and the group practiced steering until they could navigate steadily.
• Yun Feng surfaced the boat when its air indicator began turning red, and Ning Rongrong praised the vessel’s value.

Yun Feng tested whether the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud could make the Dragon Abyss Boat invisible, discovered it repelled water and absorbed ocean energy, and found a way to explore the seabed on foot. The group left the boat and stood on the coral below.

• Yun Feng used the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to cloak the Dragon Abyss Boat, but its water-repelling barrier made the boat sink without being able to move forward.
• Yun Feng tested the barrier at greater depths and discovered that it absorbed energy from the ocean, brightening while his body grew more energized.
• Yun Feng concluded that the barrier could protect them from seawater and pressure, even though it could not propel the boat.
• Yun Feng opened the cabin and led the women out of the Dragon Abyss Boat onto the seabed, where they stood on soft coral.

Yun Feng led the women across the seafloor using the Vast Sea Protective Shroud, which drew energy from the ocean and concealed them from a Demon Soul Great White Shark. They reached Sea God Island, where Yun Feng suggested they return someday to live out their lives.

• Shui Bing'er asked whether the Vast Sea Protective Shroud could conceal them while flying, and Yun Feng explained that flying consumed too much Soul Power.
• Yun Feng discovered that the shroud absorbed energy from the sea, allowing them to travel to Sea God Island without exhausting his Soul Power.
• Yun Feng led the women across the uneven seabed, and they avoided a Demon Soul Great White Shark by remaining concealed.
• Yun Feng and the women emerged from the sea onto Sea God Island and admired its warm, lush scenery.
• Yun Feng suggested that they return to Sea God Island to live out their lives, and the women agreed to follow his wishes.

Yun Feng and his companions entered Sea God Island and insisted on taking its trial despite the yellow-clad Sea Spirit Masters warning that land spirit masters could die. The group followed their guide into the forest, leaving the trial ahead.

• Yun Feng and the women emerged from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and arranged themselves in formation before heading deeper into Sea God Island.
• Eight yellow-clad Sea Spirit Masters blocked their path, and their leader identified them as land spirit masters and ordered them to leave.
• Huo Wu challenged the leader’s refusal to let them join, while Yun Feng said they would attempt the trial despite the danger.
• Yun Feng and the others accepted the Sea God’s trial after the leader warned that it could be fatal and could not be abandoned.
• The leader sent a young Sea Spirit Master ahead, then guided Yun Feng’s group into the forest.

Yun Feng and the others reached the Sea within a Sea and learned that they had to pass Seahorse Douluo’s trial before receiving the Sea God’s test. Shui Bing'er stepped forward to attempt the crossing first and unleashed her frost power.

• A yellow-clothed Sea Spirit Master warned Yun Feng not to probe Sea God Island with spiritual power and led the group through the forest.
• The group arrived at the Sea within a Sea and saw the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, where Yun Feng spotted a black-clothed person meditating.
• The guide explained that the seven sacred pillars conveyed the Sea God’s will and requested permission from Seahorse Douluo to bring the outsiders before him.
• Seahorse Douluo activated a blue light barrier over the water and required the land Spirit Masters to cross the Sea within a Sea to qualify for the test.
• Shui Bing'er stopped Huo Wu from trying first, approached the shore, and released her spirit rings as she gathered frost power.

Shui Bing'er and Zhu Zhuqing passed Seahorse Douluo’s test at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, earning approval to accept Lord Sea God’s trial. Huo Wu then carried herself and Ning Rongrong across the sea toward the others.

• Shui Bing'er froze the waves into a bridge and reached Seahorse Douluo after tossing aside the seahorse spirit beasts without harming them.
• Seahorse Douluo praised Shui Bing'er’s strength and restraint and said she qualified to accept Lord Sea God’s test.
• Yun Feng told the group the test was manageable and sent Zhu Zhuqing next.
• Zhu Zhuqing used Nether Slash and Hell Stab to cross the waves and reach the platform, where Seahorse Douluo also approved her.
• Huo Wu summoned her Fire Shadow and carried herself and Ning Rongrong across the seawater toward Seahorse Douluo.

Huo Wu and Ning Rongrong crossed the Sea within a Sea, followed by Purple Pearl and Yun Feng’s group. After Zhu Zhuyun clarified that they were not from Spirit Hall, Seahorse Douluo asked why they had gathered and whether they had come to Sea God Island for more than joining it.

• Ning Rongrong amplified Huo Wu’s abilities, helping them reach the Seahorse Sacred Pillar faster than Zhu Zhuqing.
• Seahorse Douluo questioned Ning Rongrong about her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and Huo Wu about her Fire Shadow martial soul.
• Purple Pearl crossed the waves with ease, and Yun Feng carried the remaining women across using his Moon Shadow Sword and Sword Flight Technique.
• Seahorse Douluo calmed the sea and ordered everyone to stand in the order they had arrived.
• Zhu Zhuyun explained that the group came from different factions and not from Spirit Hall, while Yun Feng said they had gathered because they were all his wives.
• Seahorse Douluo asked whether the group had come to Sea God Island for a purpose beyond joining it.

Yun Feng asked Seahorse Douluo to begin the Sea God assessments, and Shui Bing'er became the first to undergo one. She received the perilous Black-Level Six Trials, leaving the others shaken as Seahorse Douluo explained that failure meant death.

• Yun Feng told Seahorse Douluo that his group had come to train and asked him to begin their assessments.
• Shui Bing'er stepped forward first, and Seahorse Douluo summoned the Sea God's power to assess her.
• The light around Shui Bing'er turned black, and six trial screens appeared before sinking into her forehead as a black six-pointed star.
• Shui Yue'er asked Seahorse Douluo what the Black-Level Six Trials meant, and he explained the assessment ranks, their risks, and that only seven people had passed Black-Level Assessments in the past century.
• Seahorse Douluo said that failing an assessment meant death, leaving the women troubled while Yun Feng and Gu Yuena remained confident.

After Seahorse Douluo explained the deadly risks of the Black-Level trials, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Yue'er, and Ning Rongrong accepted their assessments. Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Yue'er received Black-Level Five Trials, while Ning Rongrong’s assessment climbed past the pillar’s midpoint, indicating at least Black-Level Six Trials.

• Seahorse Douluo warned that Black-Level examinees who failed or missed their deadlines would die, and said Shui Bing'er could not pass her six trials at her current strength.
• Zhu Zhuqing refused to reconsider and received Black-Level Five Trials.
• Shui Yue'er asked what benefits the trials offered, then received the same Black-Level Five Trials as Zhu Zhuqing and celebrated their matching assessments.
• Ning Rongrong wished for more than six trials, and the Sea God's Light climbed past the Seahorse Sacred Pillar’s midpoint during her assessment.

Ning Rongrong received the Top-Level Seven Trials, making her the future successor to Sea God Island’s Grand Pontiff if she passed them. Purple Pearl then received a Purple-Level Three Trials and reacted with astonishment, asking what would happen if she failed.

• The demonic patterns on the Seahorse Sacred Pillar turned red, and Ning Rongrong received the Top-Level Seven Trials.
• Seahorse Douluo explained that Ning Rongrong could become the Grand Pontiff’s successor and offered to help her on the island.
• Yun Feng invited Purple Pearl to receive her assessment, and she obtained the Purple-Level Three Trials.
• Purple Pearl embraced Yun Feng and asked Seahorse Douluo what would happen if she failed; he said she would have a month to complete the trials before being barred from Sea God Island.

Purple Pearl and Zhu Zhuyun received Purple-Level trials that required them to bear Yun Feng a child, while Dugu Yan and Gu Yuena received Black-Level Six Trials and Hu Liena received a Top-Level assessment. When Yun Feng underwent the Sea God's test, the blue light split and pulled Xiao Wu beside him, leaving the result unclear.

• Purple Pearl kissed Yun Feng, completed one stage of her trial, and learned that her remaining trials required her to have a child with him.
• Zhu Zhuyun received the same trial as Purple Pearl and was also told to bear Yun Feng a child.
• Dugu Yan received a Black-Level Six Trials assessment, while Hu Liena's assessment reached the red region and Seahorse Douluo treated her like Ning Rongrong.
• Gu Yuena concealed her talent and received a Black-Level Six Trials assessment.
• Yun Feng's blue Sea God's Light split into two beams and pulled Xiao Wu to his side, so Yun Feng pushed her away with his Soul Power.

Xiao Wu received a single red Top-Level Trial, while Yun Feng's assessment triggered a golden light that covered Sea God Island and left a golden Trident mark on his forehead. Seahorse Douluo could not identify Yun Feng's nine-part golden assessment.

• Xiao Wu's assessment became a single red Top-Level Trial, leaving Seahorse Douluo stunned.
• Yun Feng's light rapidly passed through the colors and reached the top of the Seahorse Sacred Pillar, summoning seven blood-colored pillars across Sea God Island.
• The seven pillars converged and released golden light that covered the island and poured into Yun Feng.
• Nine golden light screens entered Yun Feng's mind, and the golden light left a Trident mark on his forehead.
• Yun Feng asked Seahorse Douluo what the golden assessment meant, and Seahorse Douluo admitted he did not know.

Yun Feng discovered that the Sea God had assigned him the Sea God Nine Trials, and Bo Saixi arrived to explain the unprecedented trial and recognize him as Heaven Dou’s emperor. She welcomed Yun Feng and his companions as honored guests on Sea God Island and summoned the island’s other six pillar guardians to meet the next day.

• Ning Rongrong and the other women admired the golden Trident mark on Yun Feng’s forehead, while he asked Seahorse Douluo whether he had received the top-level nine trials.
• Bo Saixi appeared at the Seahorse Sacred Pillar and explained that Yun Feng faced the Sea God Nine Trials, a situation unseen since Sea God Island’s founding.
• Bo Saixi asked Yun Feng about his origins, and he identified himself as the current emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.
• Bo Saixi acknowledged Yun Feng’s imperial status, told him no one on Sea God Island was entitled to receive his courtesy, and accepted his presence as a trial participant.
• Bo Saixi ordered Ou Ya to host Yun Feng’s group in Seahorse City, treat them as honored guests, and summon the other six guardians to Sea God Hall the next day.

Yun Feng and his companions settled in Seahorse City after receiving their Sea God assessments, and Bo Saixi warned Yun Feng that failing his trial could threaten all of Sea God Island. They discovered that their first trials required them to climb through the Sea God's Light, with Yun Feng facing a much longer ascent than the others.

• Bo Saixi warned Yun Feng that his Sea God Nine Trials concerned Sea God Island's survival and that failure would bring consequences worse than death.
• Seahorse Douluo Ou Ya led Yun Feng and the women across a bridge of seawater to Seahorse City and explained the island's customs and population.
• Ou Ya settled the group in the city lord's manor, where Yun Feng discussed planning for their first assessments.
• The group checked their first trials and learned that most had to climb the first 108 steps through the Sea God's Light, while Yun Feng had to climb 333 steps and Ning Rongrong had to climb 136.

Yun Feng and the others rested after arriving on Sea God Island, then set out with a purple-clothed Sea Spirit Master for the forbidden area to begin their first trial, the Sea God's Light. They learned the destination lay nearly two hundred li away and sped up toward it, while Yun Feng warned that the easy escort likely concealed a difficult trial.

• Yun Feng reasoned that the Sea God's Light might stimulate their potential, and the group decided to inspect it that afternoon after resting and eating.
• Yun Feng asked a purple-clothed Sea Spirit Master to guide them to the forbidden area, explaining that their first Sea God trial required them to pass through the Sea God's Light.
• Ning Rongrong questioned why the guide agreed so readily, and Yun Feng explained that their trial marks and the forbidden area's defenses accounted for his lack of suspicion.
• The guide told the group that the forbidden area lay at the center of the Ring Sea, nearly two hundred li away, and Yun Feng agreed to travel at full speed.
• The purple-clothed Sea Spirit Master revealed his seven spirit rings and led the group onward; Bai Chenxiang and the others released their martial souls and followed at speed.

Yun Feng and his companions reached Sea God Island’s forbidden ground and began crossing the Ring Sea toward Sea God Mountain. When a strange fish attacked Yun Feng, he dodged and unleashed his domains to strike back.

• Yun Feng and the others followed the purple-clothed Sea Spirit Master across two hundred li to Sea God Island’s forbidden ground.
• The purple-clothed Sea Spirit Master explained that the thousand-and-one Island Ascent Stairs were guarded by the Sea God’s Light and warned the group not to force the trial.
• Yun Feng carried his companions over the Ring Sea, where assessment lights appeared around most of them.
• A huge, black-energy-covered fish burst from the water and lunged at Yun Feng.
• Yun Feng dodged the fish, unleashed Divine Slaughter's Domain and Blue Silver Domain, and sent a giant vine sweeping toward it.

Yun Feng’s group crossed the Ring Sea after he used his protective light to shield Zhu Zhuyun and Purple Pearl from the sea beasts. At the foot of Sea God Mountain, they discovered that its trial barrier rebounded attacks and grew more oppressive with each stair, and Yun Feng began measuring the mounting pressure as he climbed.

• A sea beast attacked Zhu Zhuyun, but Yun Feng froze the water and realized his golden light could conceal her from the creatures.
• Yun Feng carried the group across the Ring Sea, and the purple-clothed Sea Spirit Master wondered how Yun Feng had shielded people who lacked the trial qualification.
• Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing tried to approach the stairs but were bounced back by the Sea God’s Light.
• Zhu Zhuqing’s Nether Slash rebounded toward her, and Yun Feng shattered it before Zhu Zhuyun concluded that the barrier reflected physical and energy attacks at their source.
• Zhu Zhuyun climbed the first step and felt the barrier’s pressure, while Yun Feng climbed to the fifth step and found that the force increased with each stair.

Yun Feng and the women climbed the steps under the Sea God's Light, where the crushing pressure forced Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Zhu Zhuyun to stop while Yun Feng pushed on to the eighty-fifth step. After retreating and collapsing from exhaustion, he urged the others to try the stairs and began meditating to cultivate under the pressure.

• Yun Feng, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, and Zhu Zhuyun reached the thirtieth step as the women burned through their Soul Power and used their defensive skills.
• Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu were blasted into the Ring Sea at the thirty-eighth step, and Gu Yuena pulled them out before Zhu Zhuyun was also thrown from the stairs.
• Yun Feng summoned his External Soul Bone and climbed to the sixtieth step while the women rested and watched.
• Yun Feng used Divine Slaughter's Domain and the Blue Silver Domain to climb to the eighty-fifth step before he could advance no farther.
• Yun Feng retreated down the stairs, collapsed from exhaustion, told the others to try climbing, and entered meditation.

Yun Feng realized the Sea God’s Light could help him cultivate and proposed using the group’s support abilities to help Hu Liena clear the trial. He explained that he and Hu Liena could not complete their trials first, but Ning Rongrong questioned his reasoning.

• Yun Feng woke from cultivation feeling stronger, while Gu Yuena explained that she had not attempted the stairs because she could easily destroy the black mark and needed to recover her own power.
• Zhu Zhuyun and Purple Pearl reported reaching thirty and thirty-five steps, while Shui Yue'er and Ning Rongrong reached thirty-seven and forty.
• Yun Feng said his domains could cover his companions and that the Sea God’s Light did not block support abilities, so the group could combine their strength to help someone pass.
• Yun Feng proposed supporting Hu Liena with their abilities, and Hu Liena volunteered to try.
• Hu Liena asked why Yun Feng would not attempt the trial himself, and Yun Feng said he and Hu Liena had to complete their trials last.
• Ning Rongrong asked why completing the trials earlier would not make things easier for the group.

Yun Feng explained that the Sea God's Light was meant to strengthen the group, so they should delay completing their first trial and make full use of its pressure. Bo Saixi confirmed his theory, offered supplies, and said she had come mainly for Yun Feng.

• Yun Feng told the women that the Sea God's Light accelerated cultivation and strengthened their bodies, making the first trial an opportunity rather than an obstacle.
• Yun Feng urged the group to delay completing the trial until the Sea God's Light no longer helped them, and the women agreed to maximize its benefits.
• Bo Saixi appeared and confirmed that Yun Feng had uncovered the secret of the Sea God's Light, warning that the later trials would grow more difficult.
• Yun Feng asked Bo Saixi to arrange food, drinking water, and clothes so the group could stay and cultivate; she agreed and explained that the Ring Sea could be used for washing.
• Bo Saixi told Yun Feng that she had come mainly for him.
