After traveling in disguise to Abysswall Market, he discovered Xiang Yuanbai tracking him, only for Xiang Yuanbai to summon Blood Skeleton True Lord Yun Wuyou, who attacked Chen Beiwu and demanded his Golden Egg.

• Ye Xinya brought Chen Beiwu to the landscape stele and secured him a meditation seat by asking her relative Zhao to leave.
• Chen Beiwu studied the stele for two months and discerned its Space Dao, while Golden Egg and the Five-Qi Vine gained new insights and Iron Egg gained nothing.

• Chen Beiwu began contemplating the stele, but despite his Golden Core's strong reaction, he saw only chaotic nothingness.

After a month of contemplating the Chaos Primordial Origin Union with the Dao Stele, Chen Beiwu made limited progress and focused instead on tempering himself at the Other Shore Qiongqi Crossing Stele. Once his entry into the Jade Purity Mountain Range was approved, he reunited with the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, who ran into his arms.

• Demon King Zi Yao served Chen Beiwu Cloudmist Tea, and its effects sent him into enlightenment, where he corrected flaws in his Heaven-Bestowed Middle Scenery and began attempting to forge his Heaven-Bestowed Final Scenery.

Demon King Zi Yao tested Chen Beiwu’s character before allowing him to spend more time with the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox, while postponing any Companion Beast Contract. The next morning, Chen Beiwu took the fox cub to the Great Origin Heaven Realm and resumed studying the Other Shore Qiongqi Crossing Stele as onlookers reacted to her presence.

• Demon King Zi Yao explained that Chen Beiwu had entered enlightenment from Cloudmist Tea, then agreed to honor the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox’s choice while asking her to spend several years with him before deciding on a contract.
• After Chen Beiwu emerged from enlightenment with both the Heaven-Bestowed Initial Scenery and Middle Scenery reflected in his eyes, Demon King Zi Yao questioned him about Companion Beasts and judged his answers through her Mind's Eye Mystic Ability.

• Demon King Zi Yao allowed Chen Beiwu and the Seven-Tailed Purple Fox to get to know each other, and the fox happily leaped into his arms before he left the Demon King's Cave Abode.

Chen Beiwu was questioned by the Law Enforcement Bureau over alleged ties to the Ancient Demon Cult, then cleared after the Righteousness-Discerning Stone showed no evil magic power. Jin Zhaoyang revealed that the questioning was ordered by Xiao Yu as a warning, and that the public response was meant to stir suspicion and delay Chen Beiwu’s rise within the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
