After nearly an epoch of cultivation during the journey to the Heavenly Dragon Star Region, Qin Hao completed Heaven-Burning Sword, a Top-Tier Peak Secret Art whose power approached that of a Low-Rank Perfect Secret Art. As they neared the demon-controlled region, he remained puzzled because the map on the Bronze Tiger Tally matched no location on the Heaven-and-Earth Star Chart.

• Venerable Ye Lan told Qin Hao and Pang Qingyun that the Time Crystal was on Black Demon Star, where the Black Demon Dragon also resided.
