The Jade Purity Immortal Sect announced that Jade Purity Mountain would open for Jade Purity Token holders, drawing its prodigies into a race to seek the Five-Qi Vine. Chen Beiwu prepared gifts to attract the spiritual root, and the chapter ended as the mountain’s formation opened before the gathered applicants.

Chen Beiwu declined a Companion Beast Contract with the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc and impressed it with his knowledge of lightning arts.

Chen Beiwu learned where the Five-Qi Vine might appear and set out with the Golden-Winged Thunder Roc, while the vine stole rare medicines and was lured into the open by Shen Yuanbao and Gu Xiao. The Five-Qi Vine refused a Companion Beast Contract and challenged Shen Yuanbao, as the talisman’s display drew nearby prodigies toward them.

• The Golden-Winged Thunder Roc told Chen Beiwu that the Five-Qi Vine might emerge at the Five-Element Miasma Abyss on the next full-moon night and offered to lead him there.
• Demon King Thunder Roc discovered that a World-Breaching Mouse had stolen his Heavenly Thunder Ginseng, while the Five-Qi Vine received the ginseng and sensed two Fourth-Tier Profound Medicines nearby.

Chen Beiwu waited in a concealed formation at the Five-Element Miasma Abyss for the full moon, hoping to meet the Five-Qi Vine. The Seven-Tailed Purple Fox returned with a jade bottle of milk, just as the miasma churned and the full-moon night began.

• The Five-Qi Vine rejected Yu Zhaohua's invitation despite her offering a primordial five-elements ancestor leaf, declaring that it would never be a slave.

• The Five-Qi Vine accepted Chen Beiwu’s offer, allowing him to prepare to attempt Core Formation and forge a Primordial Origin Golden Core.

Chen Beiwu partnered with the Five-Qi Vine to help him forge a primordial origin golden core and secured permission to take it off Jade Purity Mountain. After refining Demon King Milk with Golden Egg’s help, he strengthened his body and promised the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox he would return for it after core formation.

• Chen Beiwu told the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox he could take only one companion for now and promised to return to Jade Purity Mountain after forming his core.

• Huang Xiaoling and Chen Dong were astonished that their twenty-two-year-old son, already at Foundation Establishment Peak, was about to attempt Core Formation.

Chen Beiwu began forming his core after preparing with the Five-Qi Vine, whose efforts produced thirty-six strands of Five-Element Treasure Radiance. He successfully formed a Primordial Origin True Elixir, but its Golden Tempering required more treasure radiance than he had prepared, leaving the Five-Qi Vine to decide whether to help him.

• Chen Beiwu began Golden Tempering with the Five-Element Treasure Radiance, but the thirty-six strands proved insufficient to stabilize his Golden Core.
• The Five-Qi Vine sensed Chen Beiwu’s need for more treasure radiance and weighed helping him against the risk of losing its freedom.

After twelve years of seclusion, Chen Beiwu perfected his primordial origin Golden Core and received primordial origin ancestral Qi, drawing the Jade Purity Immortal Sect’s attention. The core’s transformation then triggered a change in the nine-breath chaos, which granted him a deeper understanding of the Nine-Breath Qi Ingestion Divine Ability.

• The Five-Qi Vine overcame its hesitation, formed a Companion Beast Contract with Chen Beiwu, and helped him refine its five-element treasure radiance.

• True Lord Yue Shan brought Chen Beiwu to Jade Purity Hall, where attendants Qinghe and Yuyue admitted them to meet the sect leader.
