They had been trapped there for nearly half an Epoch, and Qin Hao recognized that they had narrowly survived one of the Star Sea’s most dangerous places.

• Mu Ziqing promised to support Qin Hao, and Qin Hao remained in secluded cultivation at the Sword Martial Palace after she advanced to Four-Tribulation Sovereign.

• At Sword Martial Palace, Qin Hao reunited with his Devouring Doppelganger and received more than three hundred Great Dao Origin Crystal Stones and a damaged Jade Slip.
• Qin Hao brought out the Guangyin Tiger Tally, which caused the damaged Jade Slip to flash, and concluded that it was native to the Origin World and held fragments of information about it.

Qin Hao discovered that a damaged Jade Slip described the Star Realm, a subspace that may contain enough Xuanhuang Qi to help him dissolve the Great Dao Miasma. He traced its incomplete coordinates to the Outer Domain Lands and concluded that he would need to search there with his True Self.

• Qin Hao read the damaged Jade Slip and learned that the Star Realm had separated from the Origin World before it shattered and might still contain Xuanhuang Qi.
• Qin Hao matched the Jade Slip’s incomplete coordinates to a point near the edge of the Star Sea, in the Outer Domain Lands.
• Qin Hao suspected the Origin World’s main body might lie beyond the Star Sea and noted that several clues pointed to the Outer Domain Lands.
• Qin Hao realized that dissolving the remaining Great Dao Miasma required vastly more Xuanhuang Qi than he could likely find in the Origin World Fragments.
• Qin Hao decided he would have to search the dangerous Outer Domain Lands with his True Self because his Doppelganger was too weak.

Qin Hao found that refining more Great Dao Origin Crystals barely dissolved the Great Dao Miasma, so he decided to search the dangerous Outer Lands for a surviving piece of the Origin World that might contain enough Xuanhuang Qi.

After Barto’s investigation uncovered severe crimes among Qin disciples, Qin Hao ordered a public judgment to reform the clan before he left for the Outer Lands. Barto began arresting those named on the list, and the first prisoners were taken to the dungeon awaiting trial.

• Barto reported that Qin Ming and Qin Yue had committed no crimes, but Qin Ming bore responsibility for the Qin’s decline as clan chief.

• Warriors and Qin Family Disciples gathered to witness Judgment Day, and Qin Ming and Qin Yue watched anxiously after failing to see Qin Hao for half a month.

• Qin Hao recognized that Flamefire Realm Master's Fire and Water Great Daos had touched the Great Dao Origin and revealed the extent of his own cultivation.
