• Qin Hao sensed his Self-World resonate with Two Realms Peak and chose it, while the other new Inner Disciples selected peaks suited to their paths.

Storm Sovereign revealed four Chaos Cultivation Techniques to Qin Hao and the other disciples, and Qin Hao weighed their origins and strengths. He was especially drawn to the Nether Azure Flame Scripture and the Gods and Devils Heaven-Suppressing Art, which suited his Devouring Doppelganger, but he had not yet chosen one.

• Storm Sovereign presented the Nine Heavens Profound Dragon Art, the Void God-Slaying Record, the Nether Azure Flame Scripture, and the Gods and Devils Heaven-Suppressing Art to Qin Hao and the others.
• Lingxiaozi told Qin Hao that the Profound Dragon Ancient God had been a supreme Human Race Sovereign who might have fallen before the Time Sword Lord rose to prominence.

• Qin Hao favored the Nether Azure Flame Scripture because the Azure Flame Sect founder had mastered it and other sect members could offer cultivation experience.
• Qin Hao recognized that the Gods and Devils Heaven-Suppressing Art suited his Devouring Doppelganger, and Lingxiaozi explained that the Demon Venerable of the Spirit Domain had raised it to Chaos Cultivation Technique level.

The Storm Sovereign offered the new Inner Disciples a choice between a Chaos Cultivation Technique and one million Azure Flame Points paid in installments. More than seventy disciples gave up the technique, while Qin Hao and eighteen others kept their chance, and the Storm Sovereign asked Qin Hao which technique he would choose.

• A disciple asked whether the million Azure Flame Points would be issued immediately, and the Storm Sovereign explained that they would be paid in three installments over thirty years, as long as each recipient remained an Inner Disciple.

• More than seventy of the ninety-three disciples gave up the technique and were teleported out of the mysterious space.
• The Storm Sovereign asked Qin Hao which of the four Chaos Cultivation Techniques he wanted to choose.

Qin Hao chose the Gods and Devils Heaven-Suppressing Art for his Devouring Doppelganger despite its immense cultivation demands, while most of the other disciples chose the Nether Azure Flame Scripture. After transmitting their chosen techniques, the Storm Sovereign revealed that each disciple had received a lethal restriction preventing the techniques from being exposed.

• Qin Hao rejected the Storm Sovereign's advice to choose the Nether Azure Flame Scripture and selected the Gods and Devils Heaven-Suppressing Art for his Devouring Doppelganger.
• Ji Yuanjie, Song Jingchen, and the other disciples chose their techniques, with most selecting the Nether Azure Flame Scripture and one or two choosing the Void God-Slaying Record.
• The Storm Sovereign transmitted the first volume of each chosen technique, overwhelming the disciples with a torrent of information.
• Qin Hao and the others sensed a restriction in their Divine Souls, and the Storm Sovereign explained that it would kill anyone whose soul was forcibly probed or who revealed a technique without the Azure Flame Sect's permission.

Qin Hao examined the Demon-Suppressing Volume, the first volume of the Gods and Devils Heaven-Suppressing Art, and discovered its immense potential and cultivation method. He found that only the first three levels were available, leaving him unsure how to access the rest.

• The Storm Sovereign warned everyone that revealing the Chaos Cultivation Technique would trigger a safeguard that destroyed their souls, and Lingxiaozi assured Qin Hao the restriction could not detect his other secrets.
• Qin Hao learned that the Gods and Devils Heaven-Suppressing Art had three volumes, but only the Demon-Suppressing Volume's title and contents were available to him.
• Qin Hao discovered that the Demon-Suppressing Volume had nine levels, with its power increasing from fifty-fourfold combat strength at the first level to at least a millionfold at the ninth.
• Qin Hao read that reaching the third, sixth, and ninth levels could let him clear the first three floors of the Myriad Worlds Mysterious Tower, potentially granting King-Sealing Creation-level combat power.
• Qin Hao entered a white space and watched a man in white demonstrate the first three levels with a punch, but found the space empty when he tried to examine the fourth level.
