Qian Daoliu

Biodata

Background and History

Qian Daoliu ruled Spirit Hall for a hundred years and devoted his life to the Angel God. His son, Qian Xunji, was killed following a conflict with Tang Hao. Despite that loss, Qian Daoliu continued to show restraint toward the Clear Sky Sect out of regard for his friendship with its former master, Tang Chen 89 91.

He raised Su Zui alongside Golden Crocodile Douluo and invested heavily in nurturing his granddaughter Qian Renxue as the hope of the angel lineage 1 89 178.

Appearance

Qian Daoliu is an elderly man with white hair and a beard. He often wears white robes and maintains a dignified bearing 1 88 175.

• Ceremonial dress: A white-and-gold robe embroidered with angel-wing patterns, reserved for important Angel Clan ceremonies 175 179.
• Martial Soul form: Six large wings of light bearing deep, ancient-looking patterns 208.
• Soul Rings: Nine rings—eight black and one red 90 208.

Personality

Qian Daoliu is protective and affectionate toward his grandchildren, but he also believes they must grow strong enough to face danger. After chasing Su Zui over stolen wine, he felt guilty on remembering the boy’s birthday; he nevertheless accepted Golden Crocodile Douluo’s advice to let Su Zui train independently 1.

His restraint has limits. Su Zui’s disappearance and Qian Renxue’s fall left him blaming himself for failing his family. Afterward, he became more ruthless, destroying the Clear Sky Sect and later striking at Dugu Bo when he believed Su Zui had been harmed 89 94 124.

Abilities and Skills

Angel Divine Power

As the Angel God’s envoy, Qian Daoliu wields divine power beyond his Level 99 Soul Power. He fused his Soul Bones with angelic divinity, causing their skills to carry Angel Divine Power 92.

• Divine sense: He temporarily raised his divine sense to the Third-Level God tier to search the Star Dou Great Forest, but the strain injured him and risked damaging his foundation 88.
• Divine defense: He blocked the Clear Sky Formation’s combined attack with a golden shield and survived two elders’ self-destruction behind his angel shield 92 93.
• Limit: His attempt to pull Su Zui from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well failed when a force inside severed his connection; the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings then overwhelmed him and Bibi Dong 131.

Six-Winged Angel

Qian Daoliu’s angel Martial Soul grants him flight and formidable pressure. His speed in the air is the basis of his title, Invincible in the Sky 93 131.

• Seventh Soul Skill — Angel True Body: Unfolds his Six-Winged Angel form. During his spar with Su Zui and Qian Renxue, its presence suppressed their domain and summoned powers 208.
• Ninth Soul Skill — Angel Descent: Summons a gigantic Angel Phantom. Against Tang Xiao, the phantom shattered his Clear Sky Hammer and left him gravely wounded 92 93.
• Ninth Soul Skill — Angel’s Breath: The phantom releases a torrent of golden divine light. Qian Daoliu used it to kill the surviving Clear Sky Sect disciples 93 94.
• Cost: Drawing on the Angel Temple’s power from afar and using two ninth Soul Skills in succession left him injured and requiring years of recovery 94.

Angel Domain

Qian Daoliu unfolded the Angel Domain while testing Su Zui and Qian Renxue at the training ground. Its activation stilled the air and suspended dust around him 206.

Radiance of the Holy Spirit

The first skill of his hundred-thousand-year Holy Light Spirit Dragon Soul Bone produces intense, ultimate-attribute holy light. He used it to kill two Clear Sky Sect elders 92.

Equipment and Items

• Angel God Sword — A sword kept above the Angel Temple. Qian Daoliu summoned it before attacking the Clear Sky Sect and used it to kill several opponents, including Tang Xiao 89 92 93.

• Broom — His improvised weapon while pursuing Su Zui for the stolen wine 1.

Relationships

• Su Zui — His grandson, whom he raised with Golden Crocodile Douluo. Qian Daoliu blamed himself for Su Zui’s disappearance and warmly welcomed him back 1 89 121.
• Qian Renxue — His granddaughter and the hope of the angel lineage. He sent her to Slaughter City after her Martial Soul fell, then watched over its restoration 89 179 181.
• Qian Xunji — His deceased son. Qian Daoliu regarded his death as one of his failures to protect his family 89.
• Bibi Dong — Spirit Hall’s Pope and Qian Renxue’s mother. Their relationship is bitter, but they set aside their differences for Qian Renxue’s restoration 129 179.
• Golden Crocodile Douluo — A close ally who calls Qian Daoliu “big brother.” He helped raise Su Zui and carried Qian Renxue to Slaughter City on Qian Daoliu’s orders 1 89.
• Bo Saixi — She gave him the treasured wine Su Zui stole; Qian Daoliu considered her one of the few people capable of shaking his Angel Divine Power 1 131.
• Tang Chen — His former friend and the Clear Sky Sect’s former master. Qian Daoliu spared the sect repeatedly because of their friendship 90 91.
• Tang Hao — Qian Daoliu held him responsible for Qian Xunji’s death, Su Zui’s apparent death and Qian Renxue’s fall 89 91.

Story Role and Major Arcs

Stolen Wine and Su Zui’s Departure

After Su Zui drank Bo Saixi’s last gift of wine, Qian Daoliu chased him from Spirit Hall to the Star Dou Great Forest with a broom. Learning that Su Zui had reached rank thirty on his eleventh birthday, he relented and allowed him to train alone 1.

Search and Destruction of the Clear Sky Sect

When Su Zui disappeared, Qian Daoliu strained himself searching the forest with divine sense but found no trace. Qian Renxue confronted him over his past restraint toward the Clear Sky Sect, then lost control as her Angel Martial Soul fell. Qian Daoliu restrained her and sent her to Slaughter City with Golden Crocodile Douluo 88 89.

Believing Tang Hao had killed Su Zui, Qian Daoliu attacked the Clear Sky Sect. He defeated Tang Xiao, survived the elders’ suicide attack and used Angel’s Breath on the remaining disciples. The destruction brought him no satisfaction, and he left injured 91 93 94.

Reunion and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well

Qian Daoliu reunited with Su Zui after Dugu Bo confronted him. Later, Su Zui’s explanation of a Poison Pill led Qian Daoliu to consider studying a similar Soul Core, which he believed could greatly improve his endurance and Soul Power 121 124.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Daoliu warned Su Zui against absorbing two opposing herbs together. When Su Zui entered the spring, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong tried to rescue him but were overwhelmed by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Qian Daoliu was relieved when Su Zui eventually awoke 129 131 135.

Qian Renxue’s Restoration

After Qian Renxue returned to Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu welcomed her and learned that Su Zui had gathered materials to repair her Martial Soul. At the Angel Temple, he and Bibi Dong watched as Qian Renxue began refining the treasures; her Martial Soul ultimately transformed into a Twelve-Winged Blazing Angel 175 179 181.

Spar and the Spirit Pagoda

Qian Daoliu tested Su Zui and Qian Renxue at the Angel Training Grounds. He caught Su Zui’s sword between two fingers and continued to hold back as the pair exhausted their strength and conceded 206 208 209.

After Su Zui explained the Soul Spirit Contract, Qian Daoliu convened Spirit Hall’s leaders. He approved Su Zui’s proposal for an independent Spirit Pagoda, provided Spirit Hall had no public connection to it and the method remained protected 209.
