• Qin Hao grew wary of the Crimson Ancient Eagle’s apparent desire for Xuanhuang Stone as he and Yun Chang continued toward the pillar.

Qin Hao and Yun Chang reached the Palace beneath the Sky-Piercing Light Pillar, where powerful experts from many races had gathered. After the Crimson Ancient Eagle statue fixed its gaze on Qin Hao, he spotted Wu Ge and Gu Xinglan before joining the Human Creation experts.

• The Crimson Ancient Eagle announced that the Ancient Xuanhuang World would depart in three days and that the treasure exchange rules would change.

The Crimson Ancient Eagle announced new exchange Laws for the Celestial Pivot Daoist’s remaining treasures, allowing people to compete for them with Xuanhuang Stone. Qin Hao decided to exchange for the Heaven-Sealing Profound Crystal and declared his intention before the gathered rivals.

• The Crimson Ancient Eagle revealed that eleven special treasures remained and explained that people could pay portions of their Xuanhuang Stone to compete for treasures or exchange for secret arts.

Qin Hao exchanged fifty billion Xuanhuang Stones for the Heaven-Sealing Profound Crystal as the Crimson Ancient Eagle began trading the hall’s treasures and Sovereign Secret Arts. After several treasures were claimed, the crowd rushed to buy secret arts, and Yun Chang prepared to exchange for one too.

• Qin Hao paid the Crimson Ancient Eagle fifty billion Xuanhuang Stones and took the Heaven-Sealing Profound Crystal, drawing greedy looks from the crowd.
• Gu Dinglin bought the Great Unity Dragon-Shaking Seal before Gu Xinglan could decide whether to exchange for it.
• Wu Ge bought the Heaven-Demon Baleful Saber, Qing Muli bought a treasure of Heaven and Earth, and Huo Zongxiao made no exchange because he lacked Xuanhuang Stones.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle began selling Sovereign Secret Arts from the Tianshu Secret Scroll, prompting the crowd to surge forward and trade for them.
• Yun Chang told Qin Hao he wanted to exchange for a Sovereign Secret Art that might suit him.

Qin Hao grew suspicious that the Crimson Ancient Eagle was deliberately gathering Xuanhuang Stones, while the Eagle secretly considered taking Qin Hao’s body. The Eagle began the contest for Supreme Treasures, directing contenders to pay for entry into one of two Secret Chambers.

• Qin Hao stayed out of the Sovereign Secret Art exchange, while Yun Chang and others spent billions of Xuanhuang Stones on secret arts.
• Yun Chang discovered that some of the secret arts were duplicates, and Qin Hao suspected the Crimson Ancient Eagle was swindling the participants.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle revealed that he had collected more than three trillion Xuanhuang Stones and secretly identified Qin Hao as an ideal body to seize.
• Qin Hao sensed the Crimson Ancient Eagle’s greed and resolved to remain alert, though he could not determine why the Eagle wanted the stones.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle announced that contenders would need a Supreme Treasure’s recognition and Xuanhuang Stones to enter one of two Secret Chambers.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle set the entry fee at ten billion Xuanhuang Stones for the Primordial Feathered Wings chamber and one billion for the chamber containing the other five treasures.

Qin Hao reached the Crimson Ancient Eagle's chambers seeking the Primordial Feathered Wings and information about Venerable Hun Yan. The Crimson Ancient Eagle agreed to sell the information for Qin Hao's remaining Xuanhuang Stones, leaving Qin Hao poised to learn where his friend was.

• Gu Dinglin paid ten billion Xuanhuang Stones to enter the left Secret Chamber, and other factions gathered to compete for the Primordial Feathered Wings.
• Huo Zongxiao and his allies agreed to support whichever of them obtained the wings, while Qin Hao said he would compete for them and waited before entering.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle warned that the competitors had only two days to obtain the treasure and leave the Ancient Xuanhuang World.
• Qin Hao used the Power of the Destruction Great Dao to ask the Crimson Ancient Eagle where Venerable Hun Yan was, offering a little over six billion Xuanhuang Stones for the information.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle accepted Qin Hao's offer, saying the sum was just enough to buy the intelligence.

Qin Hao learned that Venerable Hun Yan had entered the Abyssal Grave Realm and concluded that he was likely still alive. After leaving the Crimson Ancient Eagle, Qin Hao realized the Eagle’s sudden changes to the exchange rules meant Heaven Pivot Daoist was not dead.

• Qin Hao gave the Crimson Ancient Eagle 6.5 billion Xuanhuang Stones, and the Eagle revealed that Venerable Hun Yan had entered a mysterious space beneath the Ancient Xuanhuang World.
• Qin Hao recognized the space as the Abyssal Grave Realm and concluded that Venerable Hun Yan was probably safe, though he wondered how he would escape before the Ancient Xuanhuang World moved away.
• Qin Hao denied knowing about the mysterious space, then paid another 10 billion Xuanhuang Stones and asked how to obtain the Primordial Feathered Wings.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle said the Primordial Feathered Wings belonged to the worthy and had to be obtained through comprehension, then sent Qin Hao and Yun Chang away.
• Qin Hao hid the truth from Yun Chang while sensing that the Crimson Ancient Eagle was probing him, then realized Heaven Pivot Daoist was alive.

Qin Hao realized that Celestial Pivot Daoist had faked his death and planned to use the treasure exchange to gather Xuanhuang Stones and identify a genius whose body he could seize. Suspecting that he was a target, Qin Hao entered the chamber containing the Primordial Feathered Wings with Yun Chang, while the Crimson Ancient Eagle remained intent on taking his body.

• Qin Hao concluded that Celestial Pivot Daoist had survived Void Space by preserving his Divine Soul and was using the treasure offer to reclaim his marked treasures.
• Qin Hao reasoned that the competition for treasures would reveal the strongest genius, and realized Celestial Pivot Daoist had chosen him as a potential body-seizure target.
• Qin Hao suspected the Xuanhuang Stones served another purpose and resolved to resist Celestial Pivot Daoist and pursue the Primordial Feathered Wings.
• Qin Hao and Yun Chang entered the chamber holding the Primordial Feathered Wings as the Crimson Ancient Eagle watched them and vowed to take Qin Hao's body.

Qin Hao and Yun Chang entered the chamber of the Primordial Feathered Wings and were surrounded by powerful bone swords. Qin Hao discovered that the wings’ spines matched a spine he had found earlier, and that the Supreme Sword Tower reacted to both; he resolved to claim the wings.

• Qin Hao and Yun Chang entered the chamber and found the incomplete, skeletal Primordial Feathered Wings at the center of a starry expanse.
• Bone swords formed from the wings’ power surrounded Qin Hao and Yun Chang, along with Wu Ge and Qing Muli, and Qin Hao warned Yun Chang not to act rashly.
• Qin Hao sensed the Supreme Sword Tower trembling and recalled that it had also reacted to a mysterious spine on the East Sun Immortal Stairway.
• Qin Hao compared that spine with the wings’ spines and confirmed they were identical.
• Qin Hao concluded that the wings were mysteriously connected to the Supreme Sword Tower and resolved to claim them.

Qin Hao and the other contenders were trapped in Golden Bone Sword Spheres after entering the Primordial Feathered Wings Chamber. The Crimson Ancient Eagle announced they had two days to escape and prove themselves worthy before the Ancient Xuanhuang World shifted away, and a Demon Race expert made the first attempt to break free.

• Qin Hao examined the sword sphere trapping him and realized the Primordial Feathered Wings might be connected to the Supreme Sword Tower, but he decided not to reveal the tower.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle announced that the spheres tested talent, comprehension, or perseverance, and that the contenders had two days to escape before the Ancient Xuanhuang World passage closed.
• Huo Zongxiao and the others considered what the spheres might be testing, while Gu Dinglin complained that being first into the chamber had given him no advantage.
• A Peak Limit Creation Expert of the Demon Race lost patience and punched his Golden Bone Sword Sphere, shouting that he would smash it.

A Demon Race Peak Limit Creation Expert was killed instantly after attacking the Golden Bone Sword Sphere, leading the challengers to seek another way through the test. As Yun Chang watched, Qin Hao appeared to be learning how to control the swords, while Gu Dinglin waited to see whether anyone else would risk charging through them.

• A Demon Race Peak Limit Creation Expert attacked a Golden Bone Sword Sphere, whose swords accelerated and shredded him to dust.
• Qin Hao and Yun Chang studied the sphere, while the other challengers realized brute force would not pass the test.
• Gu Dinglin reasoned that the test might require comprehending a technique hidden in the swords or charging through them with perseverance, but chose to wait before risking the latter.
• After nearly half a day without progress, Yun Chang saw Qin Hao form hand signs that made the swords in his sphere speed up and slow down.
• Yun Chang wondered whether Qin Hao had discovered the technique hidden in the Golden Bone Sword Sphere.

Qin Hao discovered and studied the Bone Wing Art, a secret technique for activating the Primordial Feathered Wings’ first form. Meanwhile, the Celestial Pivot Daoist refined Xuanhuang Qi from his collected Xuanhuang Stones and celebrated the power it might grant him.

• Qin Hao used the Supreme Sword Tower to discover the Bone Wing Art hidden in the golden bone swords and began studying it.
• Yun Chang watched Qin Hao and the others contemplate the swords but could not discern anything himself.
• The Crimson Ancient Eagle gathered countless Xuanhuang Stones in the hall, believing they contained traces of Xuanhuang Qi.
• The Celestial Pivot Daoist appeared and took control of the Crimson Ancient Eagle, then refined three trillion Xuanhuang Stones into a wisp of Xuanhuang Qi.
• The Celestial Pivot Daoist celebrated, believing the Xuanhuang Qi could help him reach the summit of the Star Sea and perhaps surpass the Sovereign.

The Celestial Pivot Daoist condensed Great Dao Origin Qi and planned to seize Qin Hao’s body so he could reclaim his strength and obtain the Primordial Feathered Wings. When he discovered Qin Hao had learned the Bone Wing Art in a single day, he entered Qin Hao’s Golden Bone Sword Sphere to take over his body.

• The Celestial Pivot Daoist resolved to perform Body Seizure quickly and planned to claim the Primordial Feathered Wings afterward.
• He observed the trapped cultivators and chose Qin Hao as his target, judging him the most talented and promising Half-Step Sovereign.
• The Celestial Pivot Daoist saw Qin Hao manipulating his Golden Bone Sword Sphere and realized he had begun practicing the Bone Wing Art.
• Stunned that Qin Hao had discovered the art in a single day, the Celestial Pivot Daoist decided Qin Hao’s talent would be his if he seized his body.
• The Celestial Pivot Daoist passed through Qin Hao’s Golden Bone Sword Sphere and entered it.
