Background / History

Uncle Luo was once a major figure in the Southern Xuan Region. He and a powerful holder of the Space Ancestor Symbol once turned the region upside down, beyond the ability of their enemies to stop them. His own peak strength was nevertheless inferior to that Ancestral Symbol wielder's. 130

His enemies eventually united against him, destroying his physical body. A trace of his divine soul survived by fleeing into the Refining Demon Pearl, an Ancient Divine Object ranked thirteenth, which later drifted to the Eastern Xuan Region. 47 57

Luo first contacts Lin Yan from within the pearl and is impressed by the youth's refusal to beg for assistance. He accepts Lin Yan's proposal of cooperation, later becoming his teacher, adviser, and protector. 47 83 104

After Lin Yan reveals his collection of Different Fire Seeds, Luo becomes aware of the youth's extraordinary opportunity and shares the truth of his own pursuit. Lin Yan's promise to face the Southern Xuan Region enemies alongside him gives Luo renewed hope of returning there for revenge. 57

Appearance

Uncle Luo usually manifests as a refined, middle-aged man. His outwardly gentle and composed bearing contrasts sharply with the killing intent he shows when recalling his enemies in the Southern Xuan Region. 58 104

• Refined, calm demeanor and a scholarly appearance. 57 104
• Often strokes his beard while speaking or assessing others. 104
• Can manifest outside the Refining Demon Pearl despite existing as a remnant soul. 104 149
• Possesses a white jade pendant engraved with the character “Xue.” 149

Personality

Luo is proud, discerning, and accustomed to dealing with powerful figures. He initially tests Lin Yan's character before accepting their partnership, valuing the youth's confidence and refusal to submit to others. 47

Beneath his refined manner is a ruthless past. He admits to having killed enemies until they feared him, and his desire to return to the Southern Xuan Region remains tied to revenge against the forces that destroyed his body. 57

He becomes sincerely invested in Lin Yan and Little Thunder's growth, taking satisfaction in their progress and placing his hopes for revival and revenge on Lin Yan. He also treats Little Sable as a fellow survivor whose hopes rest on the next generation. 82 105 121
