After the Goddess of Life predicted that Ye Xuan would seek the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion and the Snow Empress, Ye Xuan asked Qian Daoliu and the Worshippers to accompany him to the Far North. They balked at the danger, and Ye Xuan appeared to accept their advice as he offered them valuable treasures.

• Ye Xuan said he would reconsider his fifth Soul Ring and produced six ten-thousand-year-old treasures for the Worshippers.

Ye Xuan traveled to the Far North to seek the Ice Empress as his fifth Soul Ring, but the Snow Empress refused and told Tian Meng to return when Ye Xuan reached Soul Saint and earned a divine position. Ye Xuan survived the encounter and revealed that he had another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in mind: the Mermaid Princess.

• Ye Xuan left Spirit City before dawn to seek the Ice Empress and Snow Empress in the Far North.

• Ye Xuan crawled out from beneath the ice, accepted that Tian Meng had failed, and said he had chosen the Mermaid Princess as his next target.

Ye Xuan and his advisers planned to capture the Merfolk princess, Liya, and waited for her to appear in the waters southeast of the Far North. Liya found Ye Xuan floating at sea and carried him toward a deserted island.

• Little Holy King and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm explained the Merfolk princess’s strength and helped Ye Xuan plan to capture her.

• Sky Dream Ice Silkworm sensed spiritual-power fluctuations in bubbles around Ye Xuan and warned him to seal his mind.
• Liya surfaced, examined Ye Xuan, and carried him toward the nearest deserted island with a waterspout.

Tian Meng and Little Holy King subdued the Merfolk princess while Ye Xuan absorbed her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, raising his Soul Power to level fifty-five. The angry princess emerged from the Pokeball to confront him, just as a golden Head Soul Bone appeared on his Pokeball Martial Soul.

• Tian Meng and Little Holy King discussed subduing the Merfolk princess and decided to go ahead with their plan.
• The Merfolk princess brought Ye Xuan to a beach and checked on him, but Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Little Holy King trapped and subdued her.
• Ye Xuan used the Mysterious Heaven Skill to withstand the Soul Ring's energy as he absorbed it, and the Merfolk Queen sensed that Liya's presence had vanished.
• Ye Xuan's Soul Power rose to level fifty-five, and the Merfolk princess demanded to be let out of the Pokeball.
• The Merfolk princess emerged and glared resentfully at Ye Xuan as a golden Head Soul Bone appeared on his Pokeball Martial Soul.

Ye Xuan formed a life-linked bond with Liya while absorbing her royal Golden Bloodline, provoking the Sea Princess’s fury. The Sea Princess captured them both and carried them toward the deepest part of the sea, while Azure Luan Douluo decided to report the alarming spiritual-power surge to the Grand Pontiff.

• Liya’s Golden Bloodline erupted as Ye Xuan’s Pokeball connected them, and their powers began resonating.

• Azure Luan Douluo sensed the spiritual-power eruption, suspected Ye Xuan was involved, and decided to report it to the Grand Pontiff.

Ye Xuan remained imprisoned in the Undersea Palace while the Sea Princess struggled to decide what to do with him, since his bond with Liya meant harming him could kill her. The Sea Princess's eldest daughter, Li Jing, discovered Ye Xuan and was shocked by his Golden Bloodline.

• The Sea Princess demanded that Ye Xuan sever his connection with Liya, but he explained that Liya had become his fifth Soul Ring and that destroying it would kill her.
• A week after Ye Xuan disappeared, Qian Daoliu ordered the Worship Hall to keep his disappearance quiet while the search for him continued.
• Ye Xuan called for help from the Dark Room, and a young mermaid who heard him was stunned to sense the Golden Bloodline in him.
• Liya pleaded with the Sea Princess on Ye Xuan's behalf, citing his divinity and the aura of the Evil Eye Holy King.
• Li Jing rushed into the hall and asked why a member of their clan with the Golden Bloodline was imprisoned, but the Sea Princess told her Ye Xuan was human.

Ye Xuan negotiated with the Sea Princess after she learned that her daughter Liya had become his Soul Ring. He offered to protect the Merfolk and return their Golden Bloodline in exchange for being allowed to return to the human world and cultivate.

• The Sea Princess told Li Jing how Liya had become Ye Xuan's Soul Ring, and Li Jing warned that he might summon her whenever he wished.
• The Sea Princess explained that Ye Xuan's power and Liya's Golden Bloodline could bring danger to the Merfolk, recalling how her former human lover had betrayed her clan.
• Ye Xuan appeared before the Sea Princess, Li Jing, and Liya after evading the Sea Princess's Spirit Detection with the help of a being stronger in spiritual power.
• Ye Xuan demonstrated that he could absorb and release Liya at will, then argued that becoming a god could grant her an endless lifespan.
• Ye Xuan promised to return the Golden Bloodline and keep the Merfolk's home secret, and asked the Sea Princess to let him return to the human world to cultivate.

Ye Xuan tried to persuade the Sea Princess to entrust Liya and the Merfolk Golden Bloodline to him, then revealed Tian Meng and Little Holy King when the Sea Princess asked how he had absorbed Liya. Little Holy King explained that the Divine Realm had stolen her godhood and mistreated her, leaving her a remnant soul.

• Ye Xuan told the Sea Princess he was connected to the Spirit Hall and claimed his encounter with Liya had been an accident.
• The Sea Princess asked Ye Xuan to explain how he had absorbed Liya, and Tian Meng and Little Holy King objected from his Spirit Sea.
• Ye Xuan summoned Tian Meng and Little Holy King and used Favor of Water so they could move through the sea.
• The Sea Princess recognized Little Holy King as the Evil Eye Holy King and asked why she had returned from the Divine Realm.
• Little Holy King said the gods had stolen her Self-Created Godhood, barred Soul Beasts from becoming gods, and treated her as an inferior divine beast.
