Background

Tongtian Jiaozhu is the youngest of the Three Pure Ones and one of the beings transformed from Pangu's Primordial Spirit. He and his brothers discover Lin Shen after the latter's arrival in the Primordial World and accept him as their disciple. 1 15

When Lin Shen's touch enables Duobao Daoist to break through and triggers a tribulation, Tongtian casually disperses the lightning with a flick of his finger. He immediately recognizes Lin Shen as an extraordinary treasure and vows to protect him from anyone who might seek to exploit him. 3 4

Lin Shen's large-scale absorption of Calamity Fiend Qi later grants the Three Pure Ones creative Origin Qi. Tongtian's Sword Heart is cleansed of its lingering ferocity, and he comprehends sword principles of life and death before attaining the Primordial Golden Immortal realm alongside his brothers. 20 21

Personality

Tongtian is excitable, impulsive, and openly affectionate. He treats Lin Shen as a treasured child, quickly suppressing his own Sword Intent whenever it frightens him and becoming indignant whenever he believes another person has overworked or upset his disciple. 4 11 26

He is fiercely competitive with his fellow masters and rivals for Lin Shen's attention through increasingly extravagant food, toys, amusement parks, and displays of strength. His attempts are often bold rather than subtle, such as promising impossible honey rivers and fruit trees that bear roasted chicken wings. 13 39 76

Despite his unruly methods, Tongtian is practical and resourceful. He can turn a disciple-selection trial into a test of strength, recruit ancient Chaos-era beings into Kunlun Mountain's workforce, and build a commercial entertainment enterprise around Dao-infused music. 94 108 224
