Background / History

Jie Yin cultivated at Mount Sumeru in the Western World alongside his junior brother, Zhun Ti. The West had become barren after Demon Ancestor Rahu detonated its spiritual veins during the ancient Dao-Demon conflict, leaving its opportunities and blessings greatly diminished. 2 49

Drawn to Two Realms Mountain by Chen Ku's transformation, Jie Yin recognized the newly born Innate God's exceptional origins and fortune. He accepted Chen Ku as his personal disciple, gaining both a talented successor and the transformed Six Roots Pure Bamboo for the Western Sect. 2

Jie Yin and Zhun Ti later became registered disciples of Dao Ancestor Hongjun after the latter's second lecture. 3 Jie Yin traveled with Chen Ku and Zhun Ti in search of resources, personally refining a divine peak into Immortal Metal Divine Iron and supporting their extensive harvesting of opportunities. 4

Despite his sorrowful bearing, Jie Yin maintained absolute confidence that the Western Sect would one day prosper again. 7 When Chen Ku discovered the Innate Five-Needle Pine, Jie Yin immediately acknowledged his disciple's claim, reasoning that the spiritual root belonged to Chen Ku as its discoverer. 15

Upon returning to the devastated Western World, Jie Yin offered Chen Ku the freedom to leave for the more prosperous East rather than sacrifice his disciple's future to the West's burdens. Chen Ku refused and used the Eight Treasures Merit Pool to restore vitality to the land. 49

Jie Yin accepted Chen Ku's plan to return the Qilin Seal, Ancestor Dragon Pearl, and Phoenix Fan to the Three Races in exchange for their assistance in restoring the West. He personally handled the alliance negotiations and rewarded Chen Ku with the Green Lotus Treasured Banner. 52 53

After Chen Ku explained the principles of Buddhism, Jie Yin and Zhun Ti abandoned the intended name of the Western Sect and founded Buddhism to enlighten and save sentient beings. The Heavenly Dao answered with merit, allowing both founders to attain sainthood. 190 191

Appearance

Jie Yin originally appears as a sorrowful Daoist whose expression carries an enduring air of suffering. After attaining sainthood, he manifests a solemn and majestic Buddhist presence suffused with golden light and profound Dao patterns. 2 190 191

• Sorrowful expression and seemingly eternal grief between his brows. 2
• Sharp, soul-stirring eyes capable of exerting immense pressure. 2
• Saintly form surrounded by brilliant Buddha light and the order of all laws. 191
• Later depicted seated beneath a Bodhi tree, with his breath merged into the rhythm of the world. 400

Personality

Jie Yin is outwardly calm, sorrowful, and restrained, but possesses an exceptionally firm Dao heart. The devastation of the Western World does not weaken his conviction that the West can be restored and made powerful enough for all beings to respect and fear it. 7

He is pragmatic in pursuing opportunities and approves of Chen Ku's cautious, resourceful behavior. He nevertheless displays restraint toward his own disciple, accepting Chen Ku's rightful claims to discovered treasures rather than competing with him. 15 37

As a master, Jie Yin is protective, generous, and willing to put Chen Ku's future before his own desires. His offer to release Chen Ku from the Western Sect—and later his sincere bow of gratitude for the Xuanhuang Earth Vein Ginseng—demonstrate the depth of his regard for his disciple. 49 129
