Background / History

Sealed Ice Emperor

Hai Bodong was once a five-star Dou Emperor and one of the Jia Ma Empire's ten greatest experts. After being sealed by Medusa Queen, his cultivation fell to the Dou Ling level and his appearance aged into that of a white-haired old man. He spent decades in Desert City running the rustic Ancient Map shop and drawing maps of the Tagor Desert. 49 66 67

He retained a fragmentary map connected to the third-ranked Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame. Though not an alchemist, he kept it as a potentially valuable item to sell to someone able to recognize its worth. 49 51

Deal with Lin Feng

Lin Feng identifies Hai Bodong, detects his seal, and proposes a transaction: Hai Bodong will guide him through the Tagor Desert, while Lin Feng will refine a pill capable of removing the seal within half a year to one year. Hai Bodong accepts only after verifying Lin Feng's Mite'er Family connection and witnessing the unusual power of Chaos Flame. 49 50

During the journey, Hai Bodong serves as Lin Feng's living map and guide. He provides practical help against the desert heat, including condensed ice and ice pops, while teaching Lin Feng about the terrain and Snake-People Tribe. 50 51

When Snake-People Dou Wangs Yue Mei and her ally attack, Hai Bodong fights beside Lin Feng despite their disadvantage. Lin Feng later expels poison from Hai Bodong's body with Chaos Flame. 52 53

Medusa Queen eventually takes Hai Bodong hostage to ensure Lin Feng fulfills his promise to assist her evolution. Lin Feng later contacts him after the situation destabilizes, enabling Hai Bodong to escape the Snake-People Tribe safely. 54 55 59

Restoration and Return

After Lin Feng devours the Green Lotus Core Flame, he arranges for Medusa Queen to assist in breaking Hai Bodong's seal without revealing her involvement. Lin Feng gives Hai Bodong a Five-Rank pill that removes the seal and restores him to roughly two-star Dou Emperor strength. 65 66

His restored power also returns his youthful appearance: the aged shopkeeper becomes a handsome, vigorous middle-aged man. Although delighted to regain the Dou Emperor realm, he regrets that his cultivation remains below his former five-star peak and seeks the Soul Recovery Purple Pill to restore it further. 66 91 101

Hai Bodong leaves his Desert City shop largely untouched, taking only important possessions—including the map fragment—with the thought that he may someday return to live there quietly. 67

Mite'er Family and the Misty Cloud Sect Conflict

After accompanying Lin Feng to Salt City and supporting the destruction of the Mo Clan's power, Hai Bodong returns to the Imperial Capital. His identity shocks the Mite'er Family, and Mittel Tengshan immediately organizes a banquet to announce the Ice Emperor's return. 69 79 80 81

Hai Bodong supports Lin Feng's plan to oppose the Misty Cloud Sect. He considers the sect's elders corrupt and recognizes its growing threat to both the Jia Ma Imperial Family and the Mite'er Family. He helps assess the sect's defenses, including its grand formation, Yun Yun, its Dou Wang elders, and the possible return of Yun Shan as a Dou Zong. 67

At the Three-Year Agreement crisis, Hai Bodong joins Jia Xingtian and Fa Ma in confronting Yun Shan. The three Dou Emperors are decisively suppressed by Yun Shan until Lin Feng arrives. 113 114

During the ensuing battle, Hai Bodong draws away three Dou Kings alongside Fa Ma, reducing pressure on the coalition's weaker fighters. 116

Emperor Feng Academy and Later Wars

Following the Misty Cloud Sect's fall, Hai Bodong remains among the senior figures supporting the Jia Ma Empire's new order and Emperor Feng Academy. He helps identify promising recruits before the academy's enrollment process. 125 137

When the Hall of Souls and allied forces threaten the Jia Ma Empire, Hai Bodong fights with Yun Yun, Jia Xingtian, and the other defenders. By this period, he has recovered to eight-star Dou Emperor strength. 168 171

After Emperor Feng Academy recovers from the war, Hai Bodong breaks through from Dou Emperor to Dou Zong. 180

Appearance

Before the seal is removed, Hai Bodong appears as an aged, white-haired shopkeeper with dry but firm hands and an austere bearing. Once his power returns, he regains the appearance of an exceptionally handsome middle-aged man. 49 66

• White hair and an elderly appearance while sealed. 49
• A cold, frost-like presence that can fill a room and freeze its surroundings. 49 66
• Restored to a youthful, refined, middle-aged appearance after returning to Dou Emperor. 66

Personality

Hai Bodong is initially cold, suspicious, and quick to threaten anyone who probes into his sealed condition. Lin Feng's knowledge of the seal and his mysterious flame immediately provoke Hai Bodong's killing intent and defensive caution. 49 50

He is also pragmatic. Once Lin Feng demonstrates value and offers a realistic path to remove the seal, Hai Bodong accepts cooperation rather than letting pride obstruct him. 50

Despite his guarded demeanor, he values loyalty and repays kindness. He remains beside Lin Feng against the Snake-People Dou Wangs rather than fleeing alone, remembers Lin Feng's aid after regaining his strength, and commits himself to helping against the Misty Cloud Sect. 53 55 66 67

Hai Bodong has a dry, teasing side around close associates, especially Lin Feng and Jia Xingtian. He also retains a sentimental attachment to the Desert City shop where he lived in seclusion for decades. 67 87

Years spent in Desert City make Hai Bodong exceptionally familiar with the Tagor Desert's terrain, changing conditions, and dangers.
