Background / History

Liu Ziqing was an orphan whose parents, both military personnel, died defending against the Mount Emei monkey invasion. He grew up with care from his neighbor Aunt Wang and initially stood out as an Intermediate Cadet rather than a full Warrior 928 931.

At Mount Emei’s Taiyuan Cave, he recognized the legacy of the Shu Mountain Sect Leader Qi Shuming from Legend of the Shu Mountain Swordsman. After paying respects before a portrait, he received a manifestation of the Supreme Grandmaster, the Purple Gold Gourd, and the Purple Green Twin Swords. The swords’ recognition of him remade his body through repeated destruction and rebirth 926 927.

He joined Thunder Martial Hall at sixteen after proving his extraordinary strength. During his Warrior trial, the Purple Gold Gourd sealed his raw strength to force him to establish a proper swordsmanship foundation; the trial became his first sustained experience fighting strange beasts 930 932.

After months of combat and cultivation, Liu slew the Vajra Monkey King with the refined Purple Green Twin Swords. His sword-riding flight, Daoist attire, and rapid rise caused Meicheng to mistake him for a Sword Immortal, earning him the worldwide title “Shu Mountain Swordsman” 938.

He later traveled to Qiu Long Star as a Cosmic Mercenary, scavenged the Outer Domain Battlefield, and absorbed the laws carried by fallen World Lords. After being framed over Black Star’s death and sentenced by the Mercenary Alliance, he escaped by detonating Annihilation Golden Thunders and became wanted 963 966 973.

To evade identification through his soul and bloodline signatures, the Purple Gold Gourd rebuilt him with a purified Manka Star bloodline. Under the new identity Qing He, he was mistaken for a direct descendant of the Qing Tian Clan and eventually discovered to possess an extraordinarily pure Di Qiu bloodline 974 976 980.

Appearance

Following the Shu Mountain inheritance, Liu increasingly adopted the appearance of a traditional Sword Cultivator. His later Manka Star reconstruction altered him into a taller and more heroic-looking form 938 974.

• Originally appeared as a sixteen-year-old human youth from Meicheng Base 931.
• Wore ancient-style black robes and later a dark-golden Daoist robe forged from the Vajra Monkey King’s hide 936 939.
• Let his hair grow into a Daoist bun during prolonged wilderness cultivation, contributing to his Sword Immortal image 938.
• His rebuilt identity is about 1.8 meters tall, with black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and sharper, more heroic facial features 974.
• As Qing He, he adopted black trousers, vest, trench coat, and boots with a white shirt, while cutting his long hair short 975.

Personality

Liu is ambitious and readily embraces the dramatic identity of a Shu Mountain Swordsman, but he repeatedly acknowledges that foundational skill matters more than raw strength. When the Purple Gold Gourd sealed his cultivation during the Warrior trial, he accepted the lesson and committed himself to basic sword techniques and footwork 932.

He is grateful to those who cared for him. After joining Thunder Martial Hall, he gave Aunt Wang two million Huaxia Coins in return for looking after him after his parents’ deaths, and he later supplied the Meicheng military with refined equipment and potions 931 939.

He is also wary and calculating when dealing with hostile powers. He recognized the black gorilla commander’s supposed admiration as possible manipulation, fabricated a grieving account of Black Star’s “sacrifice,” and escaped execution rather than accept being made a scapegoat 967 973.

Despite gaining a planet, immense wealth, and an army of guards, Liu regards power and riches as external matters. His cultivation of sword heart emphasizes detachment, clarity, and freedom from worldly shackles 990 992.
