Qi Ling sent sixteen young Soul Emperors and above into the Starry Sky Barrier for special cultivation and gave Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo tickets in hopes its pressure and laws could help them break through. After the portal closed, he offered to spar with Yang Wudi using only martial arts, leaving the onlookers eager to see whether Yang could defeat him.

• Qi Ling selected sixteen talented cultivators for the Starry Sky Barrier and gave its two remaining admission tickets to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

• After the portal vanished, Qi Ling reassured the worried Yang Wudi that the barrier was safe and invited him to spar without Martial Souls, Soul Skills, or Soul Power.
• Yang Wudi hesitated, while Xiao Ye urged him to accept and encouraged everyone to try to defeat Qi Ling.

• Bibi Dong explained that Qi Ling needed a weapon better suited to him than a sword and urged him to find one that let him fight with exhilaration.

• Qi Ling revealed that he had prepared over-a-hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings that would choose their own masters and be easy to absorb.

After everyone in the Starry Sky Barrier reached rank seventy, Qi Ling announced that he would take them to obtain Seventh Soul Rings at least a hundred thousand years old without harming any Soul Beasts. He also invited Qian Renxue to help restore her Martial Soul and revealed that their destination was another world.

• Feng Xiaotian and Oscar emerged from the Starry Sky Barrier, then the rest of the group reached rank seventy and came out over the following days; Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo stayed behind to continue cultivating.

• Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing reacted with alarm when the blue dragon patriarch spoke of Qi Ling having children with Bai Ling'er, and Ning Rongrong learned that many dragon girls wanted his affection.

• Qi Ling and Bai Ling'er sensed a powerful energy approaching, and Bai Ling'er transformed and flew toward a gigantic fireball falling toward the banquet.

Fire Dragon King Bakal attacked Qi Ling’s welcoming banquet, challenging his claim to the Dragon God’s inheritance and threatening to return after the Dragon God Test. Three days later, Qi Ling and his companions arrived at the sacred Dragon Tomb, where they were to receive their Soul Rings.

• Bai Ling'er blocked Bakal’s fireball as he revealed himself and disrupted the banquet.
• The Blue Dragon King told Qi Ling that Bakal was one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings, believed himself the rightful Dragon God heir, and had taken the fire dragon clan away.
• Bakal called Qi Ling an unworthy human, claimed Bai Ling'er should belong to him, and agreed to wait until the Dragon God Test before confronting Qi Ling.

• Three days later, the five dragon clan chiefs led the dragons and Qi Ling’s companions to the Dragon Tomb, where Qi Ling told them to prepare to receive their Soul Rings.

Qi Ling explained how the Dragon Crossing Ceremony let humans gain a dragon soul’s recognition, absorb its power, and free it, while Phoenix Martial Souls could instead seek allied Phoenixes. Xiao Wu became the first to be chosen when a White Spirit Dragon entrusted its power to her, as the others continued sensing for their own summons.

• Bai Ling'er explained that guests could sense for dragon souls in the Dragon Tomb and, if recognized, obtain their power while freeing them through Dragon Deliverance.

• Everyone sat in the clearing to sense for a soul, and Xiao Wu was the first to receive a summons, from a White Spirit Dragon.
• Guided by a beam of light, Xiao Wu approached a gravestone, where the White Spirit Dragon appeared and entered her body as a sphere of light.
• Qi Ling explained that Xiao Wu’s cooperative absorption was like a simplified sacrifice, then urged the others to reveal their true selves rather than seek power alone.

During the Dragon Crossing Ceremony, the Dragon Clan recognized the companions one by one and guided them toward Soul Rings suited to their abilities. Luna alone received no recognition, so Qi Ling promised to find her Seventh Soul Ring after they returned.

• Qi Ling told Luna that her powerful Martial Soul could not reach an understanding with the Dragon Clan and promised to find her Seventh Soul Ring after they returned.

Qi Ling began the dangerous Dragon God Test by entering the deepest part of the Dragon Tomb, where he met a little dragon that recognized the Divine Dragon Emperor’s presence in his Martial Soul. The little dragon prepared three things for him, and Qi Ling was shocked to receive a dragon-shaped key and a Divine Dragon Bone.

• Qi Ling told Qian Renxue and Luna that he would take the dangerous Dragon God Test, and they supported his decision.
• Qi Ling entered the golden gate in the Dragon Tomb and followed a corridor to a hall where a wooden box rested on a stone platform.

• The little dragon said it had prepared three things for Qi Ling and tossed him a dragon-shaped key and a Divine Dragon Bone.

Qi Ling accepted the preliminary inheritance of the Dragon God Divinity and absorbed a Divine Dragon spine, while Blood Devil appeared and told him to absorb the little dragon’s power afterward. After three days, Qi Ling completed the absorption and awoke with a changed body.

• Qi Ling spent three days absorbing the Divine Dragon spine and woke feeling unusually supple and unfamiliar in his own body.

• Xiaolong explained that the Divine Dragon Bone gave Qi Ling the foundation to transform into a dragon, and Blood Devil said it would help him endure attacks from the old dragon.
• Xiaolong transferred his power to Qi Ling, warning that his divine soul would leave the world afterward.
• Blood Devil guided Qi Ling to split the incoming power, sending the white energy to his right hand and the black energy to his left.
• Qi Ling absorbed the two streams through his Soul Imprints, forming a Million-Year Soul Ring for each Martial Soul.
