Background / History

Rui'er developed an interest in spirit-seal lines as a child. A passing white-bearded elder recognized her talent, taught her for three months, and left her array diagrams to study independently. Her rapid progress was therefore largely self-directed. 116

While an Outer Disciple, Rui'er became separated from her older sister in a mist-covered forest during a trial. Lu Changsheng found her crying and lost; her level-five token and Grade 1 High-level Spirit Array immediately revealed her unusual talent. She was later reunited with her sister, a woman in a light-purple dress at the third level of the Transcendent Realm. 115 127

During the Outer Sect Competition, Rui'er and Lu Changsheng cooperated to overcome a natural illusion array and a Transcendent Realm Death God Mantis. Rui'er deployed the Nine Heavens Thunder God Array while Lu Changsheng used his Golden Armored Puppet, allowing them to upgrade their tokens to level six. 120

Rui'er became part of Elder Qingwei's lineage when Elder Qingwei accepted her alongside Lu Changsheng, Yin Xue, and Shen Yuening as Personal Disciples. 230

After the group entered the Immortal Realm, Rui'er's exceptional innate talent attracted the Heavenly Array Elder of the Heavenly Dao Array Alliance. Though reluctant to leave her companions, she agreed to cultivate with him so that she could grow strong enough to reunite with and protect them. 804

Appearance

Rui'er is a small, doll-like girl with a round face, large clear eyes, and a lively expression. She is commonly associated with a light-green dress and wears her hair in two pigtails or small buns. 115 519 738

• Was eight or nine years old when Lu Changsheng first met her. 115
• Her face readily shows her emotions: tears when frightened or worried, and crescent-shaped eyes when pleased. 202 605
• Her light-green dress was badly damaged while she was pursued on Ghost Island. 750
• She appeared pale and unconscious after Zhao Xuanfeng's assault following the group's arrival in the Immortal Realm, but the Heavenly Array Elder healed her injuries. 804

Personality

Rui'er is innocent, affectionate, and eager to learn. She is especially curious about unfamiliar treasures, markets, flowers, and array formations, though this curiosity can make her impulsive and lead her into danger. 307 544 591

Despite her youth and occasional fearfulness, she becomes highly focused and calm while constructing arrays. During the Array Alliance assessment, her childish demeanor gave way to the composure and precision of a high-level Spirit Array Master. 379 380

She is notably compassionate. After being severely injured by pursuers on Ghost Island, she still asked Lu Changsheng to spare them, believing they had acted under orders. 751

“Rui'er... Rui'er doesn't want to kill anyone...” 751

Rui'er is also resilient and increasingly determined to contribute rather than remain protected. She insisted on assisting the group against the insect sea and ultimately accepted separation from her companions to pursue greater array cultivation in the Immortal Realm. 801 804

Abilities & Skills

Spirit Array Mastery

Rui'er is a prodigious Spirit Array Master whose array skill consistently exceeds what her cultivation realm suggests.

• Revealed the first-grade high-level Golden Light Sword Array, whose sword projections could threaten a first-level Transcendent Realm cultivator. 115
• Used the Nine Heavens Thunder God Array with Lu Changsheng's Golden Armored Puppet to kill a Transcendent Realm Death God Mantis. 120
• Independently comprehended the third-grade Grand Heavenly Stars Array, which exerts binding force and stellar pressure over a battlefield. 238

• Constructed the fourth-grade high-level Azure Edge Sword Rain Array in half an hour. 379 380
• Can employ killing, binding, and illusion arrays in succession; these arrays killed fifteen to twenty pursuers during her escape on Ghost Island. 750
• As a beginner sixth-grade master, could trap a Third-Rank Martial King and provide combat support, danger warnings, and restriction-breaking assistance. 531
• As a seventh-grade high-level master, could threaten cultivators far above her cultivation when given sufficient preparation, although hunger, injury, panic, and limited combat experience hindered her during the Ghost Island pursuit. 750 751
• Used a powerful spirit array to disperse the Night Emperor Demon Lord's swarm of vampire bats. 780
• Used spirit arrays to divert the waves of the Boundless Sea after her divine soul was greatly strengthened. 777

Limitations

• Her cultivation and combat experience have repeatedly lagged behind her array talent, leaving her vulnerable when caught without preparation. 182 750

• Her curiosity and habit of wandering off alone have exposed her to enemies and dangerous environments. 307 544
