• Yu Yuanlong praised Chen Beiwu’s comprehension and suggested that he contemplate the first Supreme Landscape Stele, the Chaos Primordial Origin Union with the Dao.
• Chen Beiwu arrived at the stele and found Xu Xiu and other heavenly prodigies waiting in line; Xu Xiu sensed Chen Beiwu’s overwhelming presence and yielded his place to him.
• While waiting, Chen Beiwu wondered whether the Jade Purity Immortal Sect’s upper ranks knew about Nine-Breath Chaos and chose to suppress the thought.
• Yu Yuanlong told Han Zhongli that Chen Beiwu might forge a supreme landscape if he comprehended even a fraction of the stele’s true intent.
• After half a month, Chen Beiwu took a meditation seat and found that the stele stirred his primordial origin golden core, but he could perceive only stretches of chaotic nothingness.
