Chapter Summaries

After True Lord Tianyan sentenced Lord Guxuan to a million years guarding the Abyssal Prison World, Qin Hao learned that he had to clear the Myriad Worlds Mysterious Tower’s Third Floor alone.

• Marquis Fengyun laughed at Qin Hao after he returned from Mysterious Tower Space.

Qin Hao learned that the Mysterious Tower Spirit had declared him a failure on the Third Floor despite his belief that he had passed, and he waited in the Ancient Prison Dungeon for the Elder Council’s decision. As the Calamity Demon Land’s restrictions began fading and a Bull Demon entered it, the Flamefire Realm Master and True Lord Tianyan met in the World of Fire.

True Lord Tianyan revealed that the Dao Alliance had assigned Qin Hao three assessment missions instead of requiring him to travel there immediately. The Flamefire Realm Master judged all three missions dangerous and ended by focusing on the first two.

• The Flamefire Realm Master proposed recommending Qin Hao to the Dao Alliance, but True Lord Tianyan produced a Dao Alliance Token and explained that Qin Hao had already received assessment tasks.

• The third mission sent Qin Hao to investigate whether the Mysterious Feather Clan was rebelling and, if it was not, help the clan and suppress its enemies.
• The Flamefire Realm Master considered the Mysterious Feather Clan mission too dangerous and turned his attention back to the first two missions.

The Flamefire Realm Master and True Lord Tianyan chose to let Qin Hao decide which Dao Alliance mission to undertake without telling him the missions were part of an assessment.

He was ordered to leave secretly in half a month and keep his Time Doppelganger at the Azure Flame Sect, where the Flamefire Realm Master began preparing him for the journey.

• Qin Hao chose the Chaotic Star Sea assignment despite the Flamefire Realm Master and True Lord Tianyan's concern, saying he would know his limits if danger arose.

Qin Hao returned from the mountain with Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner, who had both entered the Inner Gate, while his Devouring Doppelganger confronted a Bull Demon in the Calamity Demon Land. The Bull Demon revealed that the Land’s Restrictions were fading faster than Qin Hao had expected, raising the stakes of his investigation.

Qin Hao learned from Barto about the Chaotic Star Sea’s neutral powers, major factions, and the Demon Race’s Myriad Demon Canon. He kept Barto as his guide and began Cultivation while wondering where the Cloudwing Beast was.

• Qin Hao asked Barto about East Sun Star, and Barto explained that it was a neutral power ruled by the Lord of East Sun, alongside Soul-Chasing Island and the outposts of the great races.

• Qu Yang offered Qin Hao two million Azure Flame Points and Mu Ziqing and Ao Xiner two hundred thousand each, along with valuable gifts, to apologize for the Azure Dragon Society’s actions.

• A powerful presence arrived, and Qin Hao recognized the visitor as Azure Li Lord, whom he respectfully greeted.
• Qu Yang and Lu Zehan were stunned that Azure Li Lord had personally come to visit Qin Hao.

• Qin Hao and Mu Ziqing spent the night talking before she left to register at Three Origins Peak the next day.
• Qin Hao summoned the Mysterious Tower Spirit and asked Elder Ling what materials he needed to refine his Fire Doppelganger.

Qin Hao spent 3.4 million Azure Flame Points on precious materials for Lingxiaozi to refine his Fire Doppelganger. As he examined the delivered treasures, he recognized the Heavenly Ultimate True Flame as the same flame True Lord Tianyan had controlled in his World of Fire.

• Lingxiaozi selected dozens of costly fire materials, including a Supreme-Grade Fire Essence Stone, Ten Thousand Swords Divine Flame, and Heavenly Ultimate True Flame, for Qin Hao's Fire Doppelganger.
• Qin Hao confirmed the exchange, spending 3.4 million Azure Flame Points and keeping his remaining points for the doppelganger's needs.
• The Mysterious Tower Spirit delivered the materials to Qin Hao's Cultivation Courtyard, and Qin Hao opened the chest inside his protected Cultivation Chamber.
• Qin Hao found that the Supreme-Grade Fire Essence Stone's heat drained his Divine Strength, then examined the even more powerful flames among the materials.
• Qin Hao recognized the Heavenly Ultimate True Flame as the flame he had seen filling True Lord Tianyan's World of Fire and regretted paying 1.8 million points for a small amount.

Qin Hao began refining a Fire Doppelganger in a protected Cultivation Chamber, enduring severe pain as he fused his Divine Soul with the Supreme Yang True Flame and rare fire materials. After adding the Myriad Swords Divine Flame, a towering blaze with the faint outline of a person emerged, and Qin Hao faced the final stage of the refinement.

• Lingxiaozi told Qin Hao that the Cultivation Chamber was the best place to refine the Fire Doppelganger and left him to proceed.
• Qin Hao prepared himself, summoned his Little Sword Martial Soul, and used the Soul-Splitting Art to divide his Divine Soul.
• Qin Hao melted the crystal containing the Supreme Yang True Flame and merged part of his Divine Soul into the fire.
• Qin Hao endured intense agony as he added the treasures from the Wood chest, including the Supreme-Grade Fire Essence Stone, to the flame.
• Qin Hao tossed the Myriad Swords Divine Flame into the Supreme Yang True Flame, triggering a Shockwave that drained more of his Divine Strength.
• Qin Hao saw a nearly ten-foot blaze with the faint outline of a human figure and realized the Fire Doppelganger was beginning to take shape.

Qin Hao endured the immense Divine Strength drain and Divine Soul pain as he fused the Heavenly Ultimate True Flame into his Fire Doppelganger. With help from his Time Doppelganger and Devouring Doppelganger, he completed the Fire Doppelganger just before his remaining Divine Strength could run out.

• Qin Hao added the Heavenly Ultimate True Flame to the blaze, causing his Divine Strength to plummet and his Divine Soul to suffer intense pain.
• Qin Hao summoned his Time Doppelganger and used the Great Dao Spirit-Seizing Art to replenish his True Self with its Divine Strength.
• After two hours, the Time Doppelganger ran low on Divine Strength, so the Devouring Doppelganger took over the transfer.
• Qin Hao watched as the Fire Doppelganger's form became clear and the flames drew into its body, while the Devouring Doppelganger's Divine Strength dwindled.
• The Devouring Doppelganger withdrew, and Qin Hao's Divine Strength fell to six percent before the heat vanished and the completed Fire Doppelganger appeared.

Qin Hao successfully created a Fire Doppelganger and discovered that its cultivation talent surpassed the Devouring Doppelganger’s. As it cultivated, it drained the energy from his courtyard and drew a massive Dragon Tornado of spiritual energy from outside, leaving nearby disciples to realize Qin Hao was responsible.

• Qin Hao’s Fire Doppelganger successfully formed, and he sensed it as an extension of his body.
• Qin Hao had the Fire Doppelganger cultivate the Great Dao Spirit-Seizing Art, and it quickly reached the Saint Martial Realm First Layer.
• The Fire Doppelganger broke through the Cultivation Courtyard’s formation and absorbed spiritual energy from beyond it, continuing to raise its cultivation.
• A Dragon Tornado of spiritual energy gathered outside Qin Hao’s Cultivation Courtyard, interrupting nearby disciples’ cultivation.
• Fan Mingyu and the other disciples identified Qin Hao as the source of the energy flow, then returned to their Courtyards without confronting him.

Qin Hao’s Fire Doppelganger broke through to the Venerable Martial Realm and mastered First-Tier Fire Laws and the First-Tier Law of the Sword. When it entered the Supreme Sword Tower, its presence triggered a violent reaction that loosened the Fifth Floor Seal and provoked an attack from the prisoner within.

• Qin Hao discovered that the Fire Doppelganger had reached the Ninth Layer Peak of the Saint Martial Realm without mastering a Domain.
• The Fire Doppelganger broke through to the First Layer of the Venerable Martial Realm and manifested First-Tier Fire Laws and the First-Tier Law of the Sword.

• Qin Hao sent the Fire Doppelganger into the Supreme Sword Tower, where its arrival shook the tower and loosened the Fifth Floor Seal.
• The prisoner on the Fifth Floor attacked Qin Hao’s Divine Soul, but the tower’s golden sword beams stopped the attack before the prisoner roared in anger.
