Dugu Bo encountered Yue Guan and Ghost in Sunset Forest as they investigated a powerful dragon roar. Though Dugu Bo said he knew of no spirit beast there capable of producing it, the two Spirit Hall elders believed the source was still hidden somewhere in the forest and asked him to share information.

• Dugu Bo warned the two Spirit Hall elders that his dispute with Spirit Hall had already been settled, and Yue Guan confirmed they would not attack him.

• Yazi remarked that Mo Lin had many connections and asked Qiuniu whether they still needed to question the three men.

• Qiuniu confirmed that Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, and Ghost did not know Mo Lin's whereabouts, then led the demons toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
• Dugu Bo left for Heaven Dou City, while Yue Guan and Ghost returned to the Papal Palace to report to the Pope.

• Mo Lin strolled through Vast Sea City with Qian Renxue, whose face he had partly covered with white gauze to avoid drawing attention to their secret mission.

Mo Lin and Qian Renxue entered Vast Sea City and checked into a luxury inn after he kept her guessing about the condition she owed him. Qian Renxue refused his suggestion to act during the day but accepted a different, unusual request, which she carried out that night in her angelic form.

• Mo Lin put a veil on Qian Renxue to help them avoid attention in Vast Sea City and told her he had not decided what condition he would claim for winning their bet.
• After more than an hour of wandering around the city, Mo Lin took Qian Renxue to its finest inn and booked a luxury suite.
• Qian Renxue asked Mo Lin not to make her fulfill his condition during the day, and he agreed to suggest something else.
• Mo Lin told Qian Renxue his alternative request, and she hesitated before accepting as long as they waited until night.
• That night, Qian Renxue emerged from the bathroom, complained about Mo Lin's unusual tastes, then transformed with five pairs of angel wings and approached him.

Mo Lin explained to Qian Renxue that they had come to save the sea soul beasts and warned that soul beasts could eventually be depleted by soul masters hunting them for soul rings. He revealed that he had ideas for alternatives and said he could no longer truly be considered human, leaving Qian Renxue shaken as he comforted her.

Mo Lin told Qian Renxue that a god from another world had blessed him and tasked him with changing Soul Masters’ cultivation methods, and he explained why he had accepted the trial. They planned to purify the Evil Orca clan in deep waters, but as they headed to the shore, a boatman approached them.

• Qian Renxue worried that Mo Lin had wasted his chance to inherit a godhood, but Mo Lin claimed he could still become a god by completing his trial.
• Mo Lin told Qian Renxue that a god from another world considered Soul Masters’ reliance on killing Soul Beasts a wicked cultivation path and had chosen him to change it.
• Mo Lin and Qian Renxue considered two ways to reach the Evil Orcas and chose to use the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to lure them into deep waters away from Bo Saixi.
• Mo Lin and Qian Renxue brought Qilin and Phoenix to the shore so Qilin could suppress the Evil Orcas and Phoenix could watch for danger.
• A man dressed like a boatman approached Mo Lin and Qian Renxue as they prepared to head out to sea.

Mo Lin and Qian Renxue used the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to enter the ocean and search for the Evil Spirit Orca pod. After hours of fruitless searching, Mo Lin considered asking sea soul beasts for help, using the Shroud to pose as the Sea God's successor.

• Mo Lin refused a boatman's offer, explaining that taking a boat could draw unwanted attention to their mission.
• Mo Lin restrained the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from marking his brow, then used it to shield Qian Renxue, Qilin, and himself as they entered the sea.
• Phoenix flew above Mo Lin while he used Wind Queen's Arcane Gate to search for the Evil Spirit Orca pod.
• After more than four hours without finding signs of danger or the pod, Qian Renxue urged Mo Lin to try a different approach.
• Mo Lin weighed attracting the pod by releasing his Winged Dragon Martial Soul's aura against asking sea soul beasts for directions, and judged the second option safer.

Mo Lin and Qian Renxue encountered a gigantic, powerful turtle that had frightened away nearby sea soul beasts. After learning Mo Lin had received the complete inheritance on Soul Beast Island, the turtle introduced itself as Baxia.

• Mo Lin spotted several ten-thousand-year sea soul beasts within the Wind Queen's Arcane Gate, but they suddenly fled as a colossal turtle approached.
• Mo Lin prepared to escape with Qian Renxue and the Qilin, then stopped when the turtle spoke without hostility and asked Qian Renxue to trust him.
• The turtle rose to meet them, and Mo Lin used his Winged Dragon Martial Soul's Soul Power to ease the pressure Qian Renxue felt.
• The turtle asked whether Mo Lin had visited an island across the continent and received its lord's fortune.
• Mo Lin confirmed that he had received the lord's complete inheritance, and the turtle said the lord had found the person he sought before naming itself Baxia.

Mo Lin learned that Baxia was one of six soul beasts empowered by Gengchen and that Baxia regarded him as Gengchen’s successor. After Baxia explained the worldwide impact of Mo Lin’s awakening roar, Mo Lin asked him to locate the Evil Spirit Orcas, and Baxia agreed to take Mo Lin, Qian Renxue, and Qilin.

• Mo Lin recognized Baxia’s name and asked how many soul beasts Gengchen had empowered; Baxia said there were six and privately called Mo Lin Young Master.
• Mo Lin named five of the other empowered beasts, and Baxia explained that Gengchen had left him knowledge of their names and legends.
• Baxia told Mo Lin that his awakening roar carried divine power and may have been heard throughout the world, potentially prompting the other empowered beasts to leave their island.
• Mo Lin asked Baxia to find the Evil Spirit Orcas, and Baxia offered to locate them using his enhanced control over water.
• Mo Lin introduced Qilin as Gengchen’s biological son and Qian Renxue as his woman, and Baxia agreed to carry them along.

Mo Lin and Qian Renxue reached the Evil Spirit Orca pod and prepared to weaken and purify the Soul Beasts. Baxia began drawing the orcas toward the deeper sea with remarkably precise control of the seawater.

• Mo Lin observed the Evil Spirit Orcas hunting in an organized way and suspected a negative force had influenced them.
• Qian Renxue worried that her Angel Domain might dissolve the orcas' Soul Power, but Mo Lin encouraged her and helped restore her confidence.
• Mo Lin explained the plan to draw the pod together, weaken it with his domain, and then have Qian Renxue purify it.
• Baxia offered to capture the pod and used seawater to pull the Evil Spirit Orcas toward the seabed without disturbing the surrounding currents.

Mo Lin, Qian Renxue, Baxia, and Qilin captured the Evil Orca pod and began awakening the Sanctuary Orca bloodline within them. The Evil Orcas writhed as the awakened power clashed with the foreign power in their bodies.

• Baxia used seawater to capture Evil Tiger and his pod, then dragged them into the deep sea.
• Evil Tiger struggled against Baxia’s control but eventually gave up as the pod was held in place.
• Mo Lin and Qilin unleashed their domains, causing the Sanctuary Orca power within the Evil Orcas to awaken.
• The Evil Orcas suffered as their awakened bloodline power clashed with the power already inside them, and Mo Lin told Qian Renxue to begin.
