Once the formation was complete, he planned to leave the mountain with Zhang Qingshan to seek the Mysterious Secret Realm marked on the Ancient Coral Map.

In Azure Cloud City, cultivators discussed Red Dragon Girl’s power and the Black Water Sect’s alliance with the Azure Profound Sect. Meanwhile, Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan crossed the Boundless Sea, where Zhang Qingshan sensed danger and led them away from their route before a gigantic sea demon attacked.

• Cultivators in Azure Cloud City said Red Dragon Girl had defeated two nascent soul cultivators and that the Black Water Sect had allied with the Azure Profound Sect.
• A stern-faced young man heard the rumors, wondered whether Red Dragon Girl had gained an opportunity in the Ascension Immortal Palace, and flew toward the Black Water Sect.
• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan reached the Boundless Sea after months of traveling, using Zhang Qingshan’s Fortune and Disaster Prediction to avoid danger and find treasures.
• Zhang Qingshan sensed an omen of calamity and changed course while he and Ye Han flew low over the sea.
• A gigantic creature covered in white feelers burst from the water and swept toward Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan fought their way into the Boundless Sea, where Zhang Qingshan’s omen-reading ability warned of danger ahead. Ye Han persuaded him to press on, and they flew into a vast mist that suppressed their divine sense.

• Zhang Qingshan and Ye Han killed a gigantic water demon, and Zhang Qingshan sensed an omen of terrible calamity.
• Ye Han’s Poison Centipede Insects and Blood-Spotted Ants devoured the water demon’s corpse, causing the ominous sign to disappear.
• Zhang Qingshan and Ye Han continued across the sea, defeating attacking Demon Beasts and collecting their spoils.
• After two days, Zhang Qingshan identified the sea ahead as the Boundless Sea and sensed danger in every forward direction.
• Ye Han urged Zhang Qingshan to face the danger rather than retreat, weakening the ominous signs and prompting them to fly onward.
• Zhang Qingshan and Ye Han encountered a vast mist that obscured the way and suppressed their divine sense.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan searched for a way through the Boundless Sea’s Mist Barrier after the fog suppressed their divine senses and made their divination show calamity in every direction. They descended underwater, where the ominous signs vanished, and followed a faint fishy stench toward a possible route through the barrier.

• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan flew cautiously through the Mist Barrier, but their divine senses were heavily suppressed and Zhang Qingshan’s divination warned of calamity in every direction.
• After hours of aimless flight, Ye Han reasoned that sea demons must also avoid the barrier and proposed searching underwater for their route in and out.
• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan descended into the sea, and Zhang Qingshan found that the terrible omen had disappeared and an auspicious direction lay below.
• Zhang Qingshan led Ye Han toward the seabed, where they detected a faint, peculiar fishy stench.
• Ye Han told Zhang Qingshan to follow the stench.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan followed the sea demons’ fishy trail deeper underwater, where Ye Han reflected on the Purple Cauldron’s growth. They hid from a disturbance, only to discover an enormous Giant Clam Demon Beast whose presence made the trail vanish.

• Ye Han told Zhang Qingshan to follow the fishy odor left by the sea demons, and Zhang Qingshan led the way.
• As they traveled, Ye Han considered how the Starry Sky Stone had expanded and changed the Purple Cauldron Space.
• Zhang Qingshan sensed that the omen of great danger was weakening, but Ye Han warned him to stay alert.
• When panicked fish and surging currents appeared, Ye Han urged Zhang Qingshan to hide with him in a rocky cavern.
• A colossal creature crossed the seabed, and Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan realized it was a Giant Clam Demon Beast.
• Zhang Qingshan warned Ye Han that the fishy scent had disappeared.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan followed a giant sea clam through the Boundless Sea after it cleared the foul sea demon stench and suddenly sped toward a heavenly treasure. They discovered that the clam could assume the form of a beautiful woman, and it attacked a fleeing Golden-Horned Sea Demon King.

• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan realized the giant sea clam had cleared the stench and followed it despite Zhang Qingshan wanting to eat it.
• The giant sea clam accelerated, leaving a barren trench as Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan chased it through powerful currents.
• Zhang Qingshan sensed an auspicious aura, and the pair followed the clam toward a heavenly treasure marked by fragrant energy and dense spiritual energy.
• A Golden-Horned Sea Demon King appeared, but fled in terror when it saw the giant sea clam.
• The giant sea clam opened its shell to reveal a beautiful woman and sent rune-made tentacles after the Demon King, which retaliated with golden energy from its horn.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan took advantage of the battle between the giant sea clam and the Golden-Horned Sea Demon King to reach a ten-thousand-year coral and collect its flowers and spiritual milk. As the giant sea clam returned, a pitch-black sea demon erupted from the seabed and attacked them.

• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan circled around the battling sea demons and headed toward the source of the spiritual energy.
• They found a thousand-foot ten-thousand-year coral in bloom, and Zhang Qingshan recognized it as a treasure.
• Zhang Qingshan cut the coral's stem with his life-bound battle axe, while Ye Han collected its ten-thousand-year earth spirit milk in the Heavenly Water Bottle.
• Zhang Qingshan harvested the coral flowers as Ye Han filled the bottle, and the source stopped producing spirit milk.
• The giant sea clam's aura appeared nearby, and a pitch-black sea demon burst from the seabed and struck at Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan escaped two battling sea demons by sacrificing a ten-thousand-year coral flower, then followed a trail through the Boundless Sea to a dangerous undersea trench. Zhang Qingshan sensed that the trench was their only viable route, and Ye Han said he had a plan for the sea demons lying in ambush there.

• Ye Han tossed a ten-thousand-year coral flower to the black sea demon, distracting it and provoking the enormous sea clam to attack.
• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan transformed into water-like forms and fled while the two sea demons fought.
• Zhang Qingshan used his heightened sense of smell to lead Ye Han along the sea demon's stench for more than four hours.
• At a vast undersea trench, Zhang Qingshan sensed certain death in every route except the trench, where he sensed a great disaster.
• Ye Han reasoned that sea demons were ambushing travelers in the trench and told Zhang Qingshan he had a way to deal with them.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan lured the Sea Demons out of the trench canyon with Phantom Spirit Demon Grass, trapped them in a Great Heaven-Covering Formation, and killed them before entering the true Boundless Sea. There, Zhang Qingshan sensed an ominous presence approaching, and the two hurried to flee.

• Ye Han used Phantom Spirit Demon Grass to draw the Sea Demons into a valley and trap them inside an expanded Great Heaven-Covering Formation.

• Zhang Qingshan sensed an ominous presence heading toward them and urged Ye Han to leave.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan searched the dangerous Boundless Sea for the secret realm shown on the Ten-Thousand-Year Coral Map, avoiding Ancient Beast Sea Demons and collecting valuable ores. After failing to find the mapped terrain, Ye Han examined the book that had identified the secret realm’s location and noticed something strange.

• Zhang Qingshan sensed danger, so he and Ye Han hid inside a Sea Demon’s bones until a colossal creature passed.
• The two cautiously searched the seabed, evading Ancient Beast Sea Demons with Zhang Qingshan’s Fortune and Disaster Prediction ability.
• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan collected rare ores, including sharp gold that Ye Han could use to strengthen his Chaos Divine Wood Golden Cudgel.
• After searching more than ten thousand li without finding the terrain on the map, Ye Han questioned whether the secret realm was truly in the Boundless Sea.
• Zhang Qingshan insisted the location was confirmed by a book he had found with the map, and Ye Han read it and noticed something strange.

Ye Han realized the Ten-Thousand-Year Coral Map’s trench had likely been buried under seabed sand, gravel, and remains, and he and Zhang Qingshan dug until they found the secret realm’s entrance. As Zhang Qingshan prepared to use the Secret Realm Keys, Ye Han sensed something was wrong, and Zhang Qingshan detected a death-trap reaction.

• Ye Han told Zhang Qingshan they had used the wrong method because the map’s trench might have been buried over time.
• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan concealed themselves, left the reef cavern, and traveled to a seabed area covered in sand, gravel, and ancient remains.
• The two burrowed deep into the seabed and uncovered a rune-engraved rock wall that confirmed they had found the right location.
• Zhang Qingshan used his Golden Light Giant Hand to dig carefully along the wall until they reached a hidden opening beside two square pillars.
• Zhang Qingshan took out two Secret Realm Keys and planned to search the pillars for their mechanisms, but Ye Han sensed danger and Zhang Qingshan detected a death-trap reaction.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan investigated why the Secret Realm Key had turned their auspicious omen into one of certain death, then exposed a hidden Sea Dragon Demon Emperor. The demon emperor admitted he had buried the place to wait for the key’s bearer, then threatened to kill them.

• Zhang Qingshan’s prediction changed from auspicious to certain death when Ye Han mentioned opening the restriction, and Ye Han warned him not to rely too heavily on his ability.
• Ye Han suspected they were being watched and struck into the sand, but an unseen figure knocked his sword-ray aside.

• The demon emperor introduced himself as the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor and claimed he had waited tens of thousands of years for them, but Ye Han challenged his story.
• The Sea Dragon Demon Emperor admitted he had buried the place and waited for someone with the key, then unleashed his pressure and asked how they wanted to die.

Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan negotiated with the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor to enter a secret realm together, bargaining over how to divide its treasures. After Ye Han exposed the hidden entrance and learned of a Mysterious Blood River, the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor agreed to take them across for forty percent, and they moved to swear a blood oath.

• Zhang Qingshan and Ye Han resisted the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor's oppressive aura, and he proposed cooperating to enter the secret realm.
• The Sea Dragon Demon Emperor asked for an equal share of the treasures, but Ye Han challenged his claim to such a large portion.
• The Sea Dragon Demon Emperor offered to take forty percent and revealed that only he could cross the secret realm's Mysterious Blood River.
• Ye Han deduced that the entrance was hidden on a rocky peak and agreed to the forty-percent share if the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor took them across.
• Ye Han demanded a blood oath against attacking or obstructing one another, and the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor agreed and urged them to swear it.

Ye Han, Zhang Qingshan, and the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor swore a Blood Oath and traveled to the true entrance of the secret realm. They opened the hidden entrance beneath a reefstone mountain and prepared to use their keys to enter.

• Ye Han, Zhang Qingshan, and the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor swore a Blood Oath to cooperate inside the secret realm.

• Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan inserted their Secret Realm Keys into the pillars, which joined together as the Ancient Dragon carvings began to move.

Ye Han, Zhang Qingshan, and the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor entered the spatial vortex and fought wooden giants in a vast, vibrant realm. When the giants’ sprout birds flew toward a distant mountain after a terrifying roar, Zhang Qingshan warned the others not to pursue them.

• The Sea Dragon Demon Emperor, Zhang Qingshan, and Ye Han entered the gold-and-silver spatial vortex with their defenses activated.
• Ye Han emerged into a vast, life-filled realm and found Zhang Qingshan and the Sea Dragon Demon Emperor battling wooden giants that reassembled into stronger forms.
• Ye Han used his Truefire Spirit Art and Qing Xuan Sword Formation to burn the wooden giants.
