In the Cultivation Chamber of Qin Hao's Courtyard.
A sweep of his Divine Sense revealed the commotion around Fan Mingyu and the others. Qin Hao rubbed his nose. He had guessed that his Fire Doppelganger drawing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from outside the Courtyard would cause a stir.
But he hadn't expected such a huge commotion.
Still...
Qin Hao gazed at his Fire Doppelganger, his eyes burning with excitement.
"Ninth Layer Peak of Saint Martial Realm!"
It was only one step from the Venerable Martial Realm.
The reason it had not broken through was not that the Fire Doppelganger could no longer Refine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. It had yet to master the Origin Laws.
Even so...
The Fire Doppelganger had skipped straight past the Domain Realm of the Saint Martial Realm, reaching the Ninth Layer Peak in one leap.
Ordinarily, a Warrior needed to master at least one Domain to break through in the Saint Martial Realm.
The rank of that Domain was closely tied to their Cultivation Realm.
The Fire Doppelganger was different. It had bypassed that Martial Dao Realm entirely and reached the Ninth Layer of Saint Martial Realm.
Neither the Devouring Doppelganger nor the Time Doppelganger had managed that.
"As expected of the Fire Doppelganger." A smile spread across Qin Hao's face again.
He looked at the Fire Doppelganger and nodded, preparing to send it into the Supreme Sword Tower. The Time Doppelganger trained in the River of Time, while the Devouring Doppelganger occupied the Supreme Sword Tower's Fourth Floor.
As for the Fire Doppelganger...
Qin Hao had no intention of revealing it, at least not before its training was complete.
He planned to let it train in seclusion within the Supreme Sword Tower. When the time was right, he could consider sending it
