• Qin Hao recognized that his Copper Armored Man could heal from his Chaos Mystic Sword strike and resolved to study its use of destruction and life chaos origin.

• Qin Hao let the Copper Armored Man drive him away from Shui Yizhuo and the others while he studied the power in its attacks.

• Qin Hao reached the chamber's dark depths, found a Destruction Crystal Stone on a round crystal table, and sensed that it held the Sword-Splitting Lineage's destruction chaos origin.

Qin Hao placed the Destruction Crystal Stone in his self-world, which absorbed its Sword-Splitting power and let him gain some mastery of the destruction chaos origin’s Sword-Splitting Lineage. As he prepared to seek another treasure, he sensed spatial fluctuations and realized Qiong Zhan was nearby.

• Qin Hao discovered that the Destruction Crystal Stone contained concentrated Sword-Splitting power and put it in his self-world before heading for the next chamber.
• Qin Hao’s self-world absorbed power from the stone, giving him Sword-Splitting insights and helping him grasp part of the lineage without direct comprehension.
• Qin Hao considered the benefits and risks of gaining mastery this way, deciding that a solid cultivation foundation mattered more than relying on shortcuts.
• Qin Hao sensed spatial fluctuations in the distance and recognized that Qiong Zhan had caused them.

Qin Hao rescued Yin Huachen and Shui Yizhuo, but the Labyrinth Spirit Realm’s shifting formations separated them from Qiong Zhan, leaving Qin Hao unsure whether Jiang Yingying and the others would reach their location.

• Qiong Zhan seized Zhu Wanning and Wu Yiyan and left, threatening to kill Qin Hao’s companions one by one before tormenting Qin Hao.
• Qin Hao carried Shui Yizhuo toward Yin Huachen, then killed the Copper Armored Man attacking Yin Huachen with a single sword strike.

Qin Hao and Shui Yizhuo parted ways at a labyrinth junction to search separately for the Spirit Venerable’s divine sense, while Yin Huachen stayed behind to recover from his severe injuries. Qin Hao found a secret chamber, claimed a bronze mirror armor plate, and left as the Nether-Shadow Soul Venerable arrived and entered the chamber.

• Qin Hao used his life chaos origin pulse to stabilize Yin Huachen, whose injuries and damaged divine soul prevented him from continuing.
• Qin Hao gave Yin Huachen healing pills in a Storage Star Ring, then left with Shui Yizhuo to continue searching for the Spirit Venerable’s divine sense.

A new Water Curtain Secret Chamber appeared before Qin Hao, and he sensed that the Spirit Venerable’s pressure inside was unusually strong.

• The Nether-Shadow Soul Venerable fled a chamber after failing to defeat its Copper Armored Man, while Jiang Yingying passed her trial but received no Saint Soul Pill.

Venerable Hun Yan persuaded the Spirit Venerable to guide Qin Hao, who defeated the Silver Armored Man by strengthening his annihilation power. After claiming a Spirit-Character Jade Plaque, Qin Hao was transported to an unfamiliar courtyard.

• Venerable Hun Yan argued that Qin Hao’s Primordial Feathered Wings and Sword Tower made him worth guiding, and the Spirit Venerable agreed to help him try, despite doubting he would succeed.

• Qin Hao collected a Spirit-Character Jade Plaque from the Crystal Round Table after defeating the Silver Armored Man.
• When Qin Hao grasped the jade plaque, he was transported from the snow-white space to an old-fashioned courtyard.

Qin Hao found the Spirit Venerable with Venerable Hun Yan and learned that Hun Yan had arranged for their meeting. The Spirit Venerable offered Qin Hao a chance to survive the coming invasion, leaving him with a plan meant for him alone.

• Qin Hao entered a mist-filled courtyard where the Spirit Venerable's pressure was overwhelming.

• When Qin Hao objected that evacuating an entire world was impossible, the Spirit Venerable clarified that only Qin Hao would leave.

• The Spirit Venerable offered Qin Hao a chance to leave the Star Sea Heaven and Earth, but Qin Hao refused to abandon his family, friends, teachers, and home.

The Spirit Venerable explained that his weakened divine sense could no longer stop Commander Kun Yun, leaving Qin Hao to confront the scale of the threat.

• Qin Hao and Yun Le told the Spirit Venerable and Venerable Hun Yan that they hoped to seal the Outer Realm Passage with their powers.
• The Spirit Venerable revealed that the Outer Realm Demon Spirit Legion had several hundred True Gods and was commanded by the Two-Star Ancestral God Kun Yun.

As the Outer Realm Demon Spirits threatened his world, Qin Hao received the Spirit Venerable’s guidance and several powerful treasures intended to help him survive in Heavensea. The Spirit Venerable urged him to seek the Higher Inheritance at Heaven and Earth Mountain, while Qin Hao was left to consider whether he could accept leaving alone.

• The Spirit Venerable told Qin Hao to seek safety in another heaven and earth and revealed that the Spirit-Character Jade Plaque would let him attempt the Higher Inheritance at Heaven and Earth Mountain in Heavensea.

• The Spirit Venerable assembled Qin Hao’s Heavenly Spirit artifacts into the complete High-Grade Divine Artifact Heavenly Spirit Battle Armor.
• The Spirit Venerable offered Qin Hao the Heavenly Spirit Pool for cultivating chaos origin and said the jade plaque, wing art, and armor were the treasures he would give him.
• Qin Hao fell silent and wondered whether he could accept taking the treasures to Heavensea alone.

Qin Hao refused to abandon his family and friends, but Venerable Hun Yan proposed that the Spirit Venerable protect the True Martial Continent while Qin Hao sought an inheritance in Heavensea and tried to become an Ancestral God. Qin Hao agreed that the plan offered hope, then asked why the Spirit Venerable and Venerable Hun Yan had chosen him.

• Qin Hao refused the Spirit Venerable’s Spirit-Character Jade Plaque and Heavenly Spirit Battle Armor, saying he would not leave his family and friends behind.
• Venerable Hun Yan revealed that the Spirit Venerable’s divine sense could protect the True Martial Continent longer than the Blood Spirit Land.

• The Spirit Venerable explained that Outer Domain demon spirits would destroy the laws and spacetime needed to resurrect the dead.
• Qin Hao recognized the proposal as his best chance to protect Mu Ziqing and the others, but asked why he had been chosen.

Qin Hao questioned why the Spirit Venerable and Venerable Hun Yan had chosen him for the Heaven and Earth Mountain inheritance, but learned they would explain only after he passed its trials. Accepting that traveling to the Heavensea was his only hope of survival, he made two requests before leaving.

• Qin Hao asked the Spirit Venerable and Venerable Hun Yan why they had chosen him despite the many greater geniuses in ancient realms.
• The Spirit Venerable refused to explain, and Venerable Hun Yan said Qin Hao was too weak to understand until he passed Heaven and Earth Mountain's trials and obtained the inheritance.
• Venerable Hun Yan urged Qin Hao to grow stronger to protect the people he cared about, and Qin Hao accepted her advice with resolve.
• Qin Hao told the Spirit Venerable he had two requests and asked that as many people as possible accompany him to the Heavensea.

Qin Hao asked the Spirit Venerable to send him and four others to Heavensea, then revealed his Heaven and Earth Embryo and asked him to heal Yun Chang. The Spirit Venerable was astonished by Qin Hao’s world and faced his plea to save Yun Chang.

• Qin Hao decided that four others should accompany him to Heavensea, and the Spirit Venerable agreed that he could protect up to five Half-Step True Gods on the journey.
• The Spirit Venerable warned that crossing the spatial barrier and Chaos Space was perilous, but Qin Hao insisted that they had to try.

• The Spirit Venerable and Venerable Hun Yan recognized Qin Hao’s self-world as a Heaven and Earth Embryo and were shocked that he had created a world.
• Qin Hao bowed and sincerely asked the Spirit Venerable to heal Yun Chang, whose recovery had otherwise been progressing extremely slowly.

The Spirit Venerable treated Yun Chang’s injuries and granted him a wisp of divine sense that improved his ability to comprehend the origin of chaos in the Laws. The chapter ended with Yun Chang suddenly transported to an unfamiliar place.

• The Spirit Venerable condemned the Demon Spirit Race for betraying the Heavenly Spirit Race and explained that his weakened divine sense prevented him from suppressing them.
• The Spirit Venerable gave Yun Chang a Saint Soul Pill, rapidly restoring his damaged divine soul and strengthening his life aura and life divine power.

• Qin Hao thanked the Spirit Venerable for Yun Chang’s fortuitous opportunity.
• Yun Chang vanished from the Spirit Venerable’s side and reappeared far away, confused about where he had been taken.

After recovering, Yun Chang learned that the Spirit Venerable had saved him and strengthened his sensitivity to the Laws of chaos origin. He chose to leave for the Spirit Realm to find Jiang Yingying, while Qin Hao and the others prepared for the coming journey to Heavensea.

• Yun Chang woke and anxiously asked Qin Hao where Jiang Yingying was, then learned the Spirit Venerable had saved him and improved his perception of the Laws of chaos origin.
• The Spirit Venerable approved of Yun Chang marrying Jiang Yingying, but Yun Chang insisted that she must consent; Venerable Hun Yan urged him to win her affection.

• Yun Chang chose to leave and find Jiang Yingying, despite Qin Hao and the Spirit Venerable warning him that he was no match for Qiong Zhan.
• Qin Hao promised Yun Chang that he would not spare the traitors.

Qin Hao entered the Heavenly Spirit Pool to cultivate and discovered that it contained all Seven Great Chaos Origins, with 154 branch veins in total. The Spirit Venerable revealed that an extraordinary genius had once mastered all seven complete chaos origins in one epoch, leaving Qin Hao astonished by the gap between that feat and his own expectations.

• Yun Chang eagerly left to reunite with Jiang Yingying after the Spirit Venerable transported him there.
• Qin Hao worried that Yun Chang and his companions could encounter Qiong Zhan and resolved to cultivate quickly before attempting to reach Heaven and Earth Mountain.
• Qin Hao entered the Heavenly Spirit Pool and found all Seven Great Chaos Origins, including eighteen branch veins in each of five origins and thirty-two in each of the other two.
• Qin Hao concluded that mastering all 154 branch veins would let his true self advance to the True God realm and hoped to master one complete chaos origin in an epoch.
• The Spirit Venerable explained that the Heavenly Spirit Pool imitated the Origin World's far denser Origin Spirit Spring and recounted how a genius mastered seven complete chaos origins in a single epoch.

The Spirit Venerable explained to Qin Hao that chaos origins were only the foundation of cultivation, while secret arts, peerless arts, and advanced branch veins were also essential to strength. Qin Hao left the discussion eager to improve and was urged to enter Heaven and Earth Mountain, pass its trial, and obtain its inheritance.

• Qin Hao learned that a cultivator who mastered all seven complete chaos origins in one epoch had been killed by an ordinary True God.
• The Spirit Venerable explained that inheritances contained secret arts and peerless arts that could make cultivators stronger than opponents with similar chaos-origin mastery.
• Qin Hao understood that chaos origins formed a cultivator’s foundation, while secret arts and peerless arts let them unleash that power.
