Qin Hao mastered the Time Dao through his Time Doppelganger but found that it did little to strengthen his Heaven and Earth Great Dao, then continued cultivating in the Great Dao Area. Meanwhile, Lord Zhuyou arrived at the Great Dao Origin to meet his teacher, the Void Overlord.

• Qin Hao recognized that his Time Dao had become remarkably powerful, but it had barely improved his Heaven and Earth Great Dao Resonance.
• Qin Hao considered whether his Time Doppelganger could undergo a Heavenly Tribulation, but withheld it because he could not sense a summons and the Chaos Currents were dangerous.
• Qin Hao decided to remain in the Great Dao Area and resumed cultivating.
• Lord Zhuyou arrived at the palace in the Great Dao Origin and admired the region where his teacher cultivated.
• Lord Zhuyou gave rare treasures to the maids before entering the palace and meeting his teacher, the Void Overlord.

• Lord Zhuyou knelt before the Void Overlord and explained that Qin Hao had claimed the Primordial Feathered Wings while True Lord Lianyun, True Lord Tianyan, and the Flamefire Realm Master were present.
• Lord Zhuyou admitted he could not make a move against Qin Hao and had failed to complete the Void Overlord's task.
• The Void Overlord revealed that the Celestial Pivot Daoist had once stolen a Heavenly Wonder from him using the Primordial Feathered Wings.

• Lord Zhuyou realized why the Void Overlord wanted the wings and abandoned his own desire for them.
• The Void Overlord asked Lord Zhuyou whether Qin Hao was now at the Dao Alliance.

Lord Zhuyou persuaded the Void Overlord to enter secluded cultivation, leaving Qin Hao unable to have the Great Dao Miasma expelled, and planned to force him into a dangerous mission. When he searched the Chaos Immortal Domain, he found Qin Hao cultivating the Time Dao in the Great Dao Area and was stunned that Qin Hao had mastered another Complete Great Dao in only three months.

• Lord Zhuyou told the Void Overlord that Qin Hao carried Great Dao Miasma and needed six Nine-Tribulations Dao Guardians to remove it.
• The Void Overlord refused to help Qin Hao, began secluded cultivation, and ordered Lord Zhuyou to handle matters while keeping him uninvolved.

• Lord Zhuyou went to find Qin Hao in the Chaos Immortal Domain, hoping to see him struggle and possibly seize the wings.
• Lord Zhuyou found Qin Hao meditating in the Great Dao Area and realized he had mastered the Time Dao as another Complete Great Dao in just three months.

Qin Hao resumed cultivating after Lord Zhuyou left, but True Lord Lianyun later told him that they had failed to secure enough Nine-Tribulations Sovereign Dao Guardians to form the Primordial Six-Yang Formation. The chapter ended with them one Dao Guardian short of the formation needed to help Qin Hao.

• Lord Zhuyou watched Qin Hao's breakthrough, abandoned his demand for the Primordial Feathered Wings, and vowed Qin Hao would regret refusing him in ninety-nine years.

• Qin Hao learned they were one Nine-Tribulations Sovereign Dao Guardian short of forming the Primordial Six-Yang Formation.

Qin Hao learned that the Void Overlord had refused to help with the Primordial Six-Yang Formation, apparently to pressure him into handing over the Primordial Feathered Wings. With the Great Dao Miasma still inside him and the other guardians unlikely to wait, Qin Hao decided to contact the Azure Flame Profound Venerable.

• Qin Hao realized the last Nine-Tribulations Sovereign Dao Guardian had announced Secluded Cultivation shortly after Lord Zhuyou visited him.
• True Lord Lianyun offered to replace the missing guardian, but Qin Hao explained that Venerable Luoji had reasons for requiring six Nine-Tribulations Sovereigns.

• Qin Hao decided to contact the Azure Flame Profound Venerable, though True Lord Lianyun warned that he might not read the message for a long time.

Qin Hao learned that help from the Dao Alliance’s Nine-Tribulations Sovereign Dao Guardians was uncertain, and he suspected the Void Overlord and Lord Zhuyou wanted his Primordial Feathered Wings. He left the Chaos Immortal Domain to test whether his Time Doppelganger could trigger a Heavenly Tribulation and advance to Sovereign.

• Qin Hao left the Chaos Immortal Domain and went to an unoccupied meteorite to attempt a breakthrough with his Time Doppelganger.
• Qin Hao released his Time Doppelganger and searched for signs that the Heavenly Dao would send a Heavenly Tribulation.

Qin Hao discovered that Great Dao Miasma suppressed both his True Self and his Doppelgangers, preventing them from sensing Heavenly Tribulation and advancing to the Sovereign Realm. With no help available, he headed to the Great Dao Area to seek a way to overcome the suppression, while others learned of his predicament and began eyeing his Primordial Feathered Wings.

• Qin Hao and White-Clad Qin Hao found that a force within Qin Hao’s True Self suppressed the Time Doppelganger through their linked Divine Souls.
• Qin Hao concluded that the Great Dao Miasma also prevented his Devouring Doppelganger and Fire Doppelganger from advancing, and that he needed to remove it before any of them could reach the Sovereign Realm.
• Qin Hao chose to pursue True Lord Lianyun’s suggestion and deepen his understanding of the Great Dao, despite believing the method was unlikely to succeed.
• Qin Hao returned the Time Doppelganger to his True Self and headed for the Great Dao Area in the Chaos Immortal Domain.
• People in the area spread the news that Qin Hao could not advance to Sovereign, and some began to consider taking his Primordial Feathered Wings.

Qin Hao began a ninety-nine-year retreat in the Chaos Immortal Domain to master the Destruction, Vitality, Gold, and Water Great Daos before his next required mission. While he cultivated, Mu Ziqing, Qi Long, and their companions advanced to the Creation stage and chose an investigation mission in the Azure Sun World, where Shi Tingyan had once been a young master.

• Qin Hao decided to remain in the Dao Alliance and use his remaining ninety-nine years before a required mission to cultivate four Great Daos.
• Qin Hao’s Self-World amplified the Great Daos around him, helping him comprehend them as he began his retreat.
• In his tenth year of cultivation, Qin Hao heard that Mu Ziqing, Qi Long, and the others had placed well in the Azure Flame Sect’s Inner Disciple competition, with Song Jingchen finishing in the Top Three.
• Qi Long, Ji Ziqi, Dongfang Lin, Mu Ziqing, and the others advanced to the Creation stage and set out to make their own way in the world.
• Mu Ziqing told Qin Hao that she, Qi Long, Ji Ziqi, and Shi Tingyan had chosen a mission to investigate the Mechanical Race’s infiltration of the Azure Sun World, where Shi Tingyan’s lineage had been betrayed.

After nearly a century of secluded cultivation, Qin Hao awakened with several Great Daos strengthened and thousands of strands of Heaven and Earth Great Dao Resonance. He began testing the resonance’s power as Chaos Currents surged toward him.

• Sun Wei died at the hands of an Insect Race King-Sealing Creation, and the pursuers failed to capture the badly wounded killer.
• Song Jingchen became a Marquis-Rank Creation, while Qi Long and Ji Ziqi married with King Lingyi as their witness.

• Qin Hao awoke from a century of secluded cultivation with four Great Daos and three doppelgangers’ Great Daos strengthened.
• Qin Hao discovered that he had accumulated 3,289 strands of Heaven and Earth Great Dao Resonance and tested them against the incoming Chaos Currents.

Qin Hao released the Heaven and Earth Great Dao Resonance in his Self-World, producing immense pressure and drawing vast dark clouds over the Chaos Immortal Domain. As onlookers believed he had summoned a Heavenly Tribulation, Qin Hao realized the clouds were not tribulation clouds.

• Qin Hao sent more than three thousand streams of Heaven and Earth Great Dao Resonance into his body, greatly increasing his pressure and confidence in his Heaven and Earth World Power.
• Dark clouds gathered over the Chaos Immortal Domain as Qin Hao's power stirred the Great Dao Area and interrupted Sovereigns' cultivation.
• Sovereigns recognized Qin Hao's pressure and seven Great Daos, then concluded that his tribulation clouds meant he could ascend despite the Great Dao Miasma.
• Lord Zhuyou was stunned by Qin Hao's apparent Heavenly Tribulation and hoped it would kill him, while Huo Zongxiao welcomed the news.
• Qin Hao examined the clouds and realized they were not Heavenly Tribulation clouds because he sensed no tribulation and saw no Thunder Tribulation.

Qin Hao discovered that the strange clouds above him were not a Heavenly Tribulation but Heaven and Earth Dao Art bestowed by the Heavenly Dao. True Lord Chi'an explained its rare benefits, then questioned why Qin Hao had triggered it despite carrying the Great Dao Miasma.

• Qin Hao sensed that the clouds contained none of the four stages of a Heavenly Tribulation, even as their power gathered around him.
• Sovereigns from the Great Dao Area and Great Dao Essence Area gathered, puzzled by the clouds and the descending aura.
• True Lord Chi'an arrived and identified the clouds as Heaven and Earth Dao Art, which had descended only a handful of times in Past and Present.
• True Lord Chi'an explained that Heaven and Earth Dao Art could perfect Qin Hao's foundation, help him advance rapidly through a future tribulation, and grant Fortune toward becoming a Great Dao Dominator.
• True Lord Chi'an questioned how Qin Hao could trigger Heaven and Earth Dao Art while carrying the Great Dao Miasma.

Qin Hao used the Heaven and Earth Dao Art to strengthen his Divine Body and those of his Three Doppelgangers. He reached the Perfect Divine Body, while all three Doppelgangers attained the Ultimate Divine Body.

• Lord Zhuyou realized Qin Hao had triggered the Heaven and Earth Dao Art and decided Qin Hao had to die so he could take the Primordial Feathered Wings.
• Qin Hao wondered whether the Heaven and Earth Great Dao had caused the Great Dao Miasma within him, then chose to use the Dao Art to improve his Divine Body.
• Qin Hao released his Three Doppelgangers, and the Heaven and Earth Dao Art enveloped all four of them in pillars of light.
• After about Half a Quarter Hour, Qin Hao's Three Doppelgangers broke through to the Ultimate Divine Body.
• Qin Hao's True Self reached the Perfect Divine Body, greatly increasing his strength.

Qin Hao and his Three Doppelgangers advanced their Divine Bodies while Qin Hao remained under the Heaven and Earth Dao Art. His breakthrough awakened the Dao Alliance’s most powerful guardians, who gathered to consider the Great Dao Miasma within him.

• Qin Hao’s True Self and all three of his Three Doppelgangers broke through, with Qin Hao reaching the Perfect Divine Body and the Doppelgangers reaching Ultimate Divine Bodies.
• Lord Zhuyou realized the Heaven and Earth Dao Art could bring the Deputy Alliance Leaders and Nine-Tribulations Sovereign Dao Guardians to Qin Hao, potentially allowing them to expel his Great Dao Miasma.
• Spirit Domain Blade Venerable, Desolate God Hall Master, and Azure Flame Profound Venerable noticed Qin Hao and decided to go see him.
• Venerable Luoji and other Dao Guardians awakened, while Void Overlord worried that Qin Hao’s rising status would make it much harder to obtain the Primordial Feathered Wings.
• The Alliance Leaders and many Dao Guardians gathered at the Dao Alliance Hall, while Qin Hao continued strengthening his Divine Body, unaware of the commotion.

Qin Hao absorbed the Heaven and Earth Dao Art’s power, pushing his Divine Body beyond its limits and attempting to cultivate the Great Dao Divine Body. After using the Heaven-Sealing Profound Crystal, he broke through and gained immense Life Divine Power and clearer insight into the Great Daos.

• Qin Hao and his Three Doppelgangers absorbed the Heaven and Earth Dao Art’s power, bringing Qin Hao’s Divine Body to Grand Perfection and raising his Doppelgangers’ bodies to the Perfect Divine Body level.
• Qin Hao sensed that his Self-World had grown larger and more lifelike, then decided to use the remaining power to cultivate the Great Dao Divine Body.
• Qin Hao circulated the Divine Body Chapter, but the Heaven and Earth Dao Art’s power alone could not complete his breakthrough and his Divine Body began tearing apart.
• Qin Hao crushed the Heaven-Sealing Profound Crystal and absorbed its power, breaking through to the Great Dao Divine Body.
• Qin Hao’s Life Divine Power increased more than five hundredfold, and he found the Great Daos clearer and easier to comprehend.

Qin Hao’s Great Dao Divine Body broke through after he drew down the Heaven and Earth Dao Art, but the achievement made the Great Dao Miasma in his Mindscape and Dantian denser. True Lord Lianyun summoned him to the Dao Alliance’s Dao Hall, where the Dao Guardians discussed a possible way to expel the miasma.

• Qin Hao sensed that his Great Dao Divine Body had grown far stronger, but realized the Heaven and Earth Dao Art had made the Great Dao Miasma more entrenched and further blocked his path to Sovereign.
• After the tribulation clouds dispersed, True Lord Lianyun congratulated Qin Hao and called him to the Dao Alliance’s Dao Hall; Qin Hao withdrew his Three Doppelgangers and hurried there, hoping to find a solution.
• At the Dao Hall, Azure Flame Profound Venerable learned that Qin Hao was a Disciple of the Azure Flame Sect and praised his achievements, while the Desolate God Hall Master and Spirit Domain Blade Venerable listened.
• True Lord Lianyun recounted Qin Hao’s rise and explained that the Great Dao Miasma had prevented him from drawing down a Heavenly Tribulation.
• Venerable Luoji told the gathering that the Primordial Six-Yang Formation was the best known way to expel the Great Dao Miasma.

The Dao Alliance leaders discussed the Great Dao Miasma remaining in Qin Hao and condemned the absent Void Overlord for withholding help while coveting Qin Hao’s Primordial Feathered Wings. Qin Hao arrived and asked the Azure Flame Profound Venerable to remove the miasma, but froze when told to let the leaders examine his Divine Body.

• Venerable Luoji explained that the Primordial Six-Yang Formation lacked a sixth Nine-Tribulations Sovereign Dao Guardian because the Void Overlord had entered Secluded Cultivation.
• The Desolate God Hall Master and Spirit Domain Blade Venerable revealed that the Void Overlord was targeting Qin Hao’s Primordial Feathered Wings after failing to take a Heavenly Wonder from the Celestial Pivot Daoist.
• Qin Hao entered the Dao Hall and remained composed under the scrutiny of its Great Dao Dominators.
• Qin Hao greeted the Azure Flame Profound Venerable, the Desolate God Hall Master, the Spirit Domain Blade Venerable, and Venerable Luoji, then thanked Venerable Luoji for arranging help.
• Qin Hao asked the Azure Flame Profound Venerable to drive out the Great Dao Miasma, and the Azure Flame Profound Venerable told him to open his body for examination.

Qin Hao let the Dao Guardians inspect the Great Dao Miasma suppressing his Dantian and Mindscape, while keeping the Supreme Sword Tower hidden. Azure Flame Profound Venerable and five Nine-Tribulations Sovereigns began the Primordial Six-Yang Formation, and the Power of Heaven and Earth poured into Qin Hao to expel the miasma.

• Qin Hao opened the areas of his Dantian and Mindscape suppressed by the Great Dao Miasma, and the Dao Guardians examined him without detecting the Supreme Sword Tower.
• Azure Flame Profound Venerable determined that the dense Great Dao Miasma could be expelled and told Qin Hao to relax while the Dao Guardians formed the Primordial Six-Yang Formation.
• Azure Flame Profound Venerable, the Desolate God Hall Master, the Spirit Domain Blade Venerable, Venerable Luoji, and two other Nine-Tribulations Sovereigns invoked six aspects of Great Dao Origin.
• Qin Hao began to comprehend their Great Dao Origin, but Azure Flame Profound Venerable warned him to clear his mind and focus on the expulsion.
• The six currents of Great Dao Origin opened a way into Chaos Space, and a torrent of the Power of Heaven and Earth descended into Qin Hao.

Qin Hao endured the Primordial Six-Yang Formation as six Great Dao Dominators tried to expel the Great Dao Miasma blocking his advance to Sovereign. Their attacks only made it more firmly rooted, and the Azure Flame Profound Venerable asked Qin Hao to reveal his Heaven and Earth Great Dao, suspecting it was no ordinary one.

• Qin Hao endured the Primordial Six-Yang Formation while the six Great Dao Dominators used its power to attack the Great Dao Miasma inside him.
• The first round of strikes opened a crack in the miasma, but it healed and grew thicker around Qin Hao's vital points.
• The Azure Flame Profound Venerable led a stronger second round, but the attacks failed to shake the miasma and made it more firmly rooted.
• The Great Dao Dominators withdrew their power and realized they could not expel the miasma, leaving Qin Hao worried he might never reach Sovereign.
• The Azure Flame Profound Venerable asked Qin Hao which Great Dao he cultivated, and Qin Hao answered that it was the Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
• The Desolate God Hall Master suggested Qin Hao's path was unusually powerful, prompting the Azure Flame Profound Venerable to urge him to release his Great Dao.

Qin Hao revealed his Heaven and Earth Dao Resonance in the Dao Hall, where the Deputy Alliance Leaders identified his path as the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way. The Dao Guardians believed it made becoming a Sovereign impossible and left, while Qin Hao apologized to the Azure Flame Profound Venerable.

• Qin Hao released more than three thousand strands of Heaven and Earth Dao Resonance, astonishing the Dao Guardians with their depth and power.
• The Spirit Domain Blade Venerable recognized Qin Hao's path as the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way, and the Azure Flame Profound Venerable and Desolate God Hall Master confirmed it.
• The Desolate God Hall Master explained that the Heaven and Earth Ancient Way had drawn Great Dao Miasma to suppress Qin Hao and prevented him from summoning the Heavenly Tribulation.
• The Dao Guardians concluded that Qin Hao would likely never become a Sovereign and departed, though Venerable Luoji and True Lord Lianyun offered him brief encouragement.
• The Desolate God Hall Master and Spirit Domain Blade Venerable left without offering a solution, and Qin Hao apologized to the Azure Flame Profound Venerable.
