Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Soul King | 243 | Retrospectively identified by Bo Saixi as Bibi Dong’s rank when they met more than thirty years earlier. |
| Seed of Corrosion enhancement | 5 | Attaches a Spirit Grade Soul Seed to her third soul skill, Demonic Spider Summon, greatly increasing its strength without increasing its original Soul Power cost. |
| Rank 98 | 19 30 | Her actual rank while pretending to be a Soul Sage to Ye Xinyu; describes herself as one step away from Rank 99. |
| Pangu’s Essence Blood refinement | 30 51 | Receives one drop through the system and gradually refines it through her heart meridians. Direct consumption would destroy her body. Her physical strength subsequently surpasses ordinary soul-master limits. |
| Rank 99 | 83 | Tears apart and consumes the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Its medicinal energy also accelerates the integration of Pangu’s Essence Blood into her flesh and bones. |
| Grandmist Violet Qi tempering | 86 89 | Absorbs a strand that strengthens her body and begins converting her dark-green Soul Power into dark-gold Soul Power. Her physical strength exceeds 120,000 jin. |
| Dark-gold Soul Power: approximately 15% converted | 98 | After two years of conversion, uses the transformed energy against the Titan Giant Ape. |
| Titan Giant Ape soul ring | 98 | Kills Er Ming and absorbs its Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring within minutes. |
| Darkgolden Dreadclaw Bear ninth soul ring | 99 | Defeats Xiong Jun with Extreme Martial Overlord Fist and begins absorbing its scarlet soul ring into her remaining slot. |

| Level 100 — godhood through her own power | 241 243 | A sword strike creates an opportunity for breakthrough. She absorbs the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King’s Million-Year Soul Ring and devours its Soul Power; Bo Saixi confirms that she reached Level 100 without the divinity of an inherited god position. |
| Further growth above Level 100 | 244 | Completes her absorption of the Whale King and Demon Empress, including their soul rings and replacement soul bones. Her strength becomes more than twice what it was three days earlier; the exact level is unspecified. |
| Third-class god | 279 | Divine officials identify her rank. A single casual scythe attack severely injures several of them. |
Background / History
Bibi Dong was once Spirit Hall’s Saintess and intended successor. During that period, she fell in love with Yu Xiaogang and wanted to leave Spirit Hall with him. More than twenty years after their separation, she still remembered him fondly and initially regarded his limited strength as his only significant flaw 3 38 85.
Qian Xunji raped Bibi Dong, resulting in Qian Renxue’s birth. Ye Xinyu later reveals this history to Qian Renxue as the explanation for their mother’s resentment. Bibi Dong eventually killed Qian Xunji and absorbed his power; she admits this herself when confronted by Qian Renxue 281 283.
Tang Hao’s actions made Qian Xunji easier for her to kill. Bibi Dong consequently considered Tang Hao “half her benefactor” and deliberately avoided searching for him for years, despite Spirit Hall’s extensive intelligence network 3.
As Pope, Bibi Dong secretly raised Ye Xinyu in a secluded Spirit City courtyard. She concealed both her office and her daughter’s place in Spirit Hall’s ruling family, presenting herself as an ordinary mother working for the organization. She later reveals Ye Xinyu’s existence to Qian Daoliu because continued secrecy could expose the girl to danger from the elders supporting Qian Renxue 3 19 83 224.
Appearance
- Face and figure: Described as exceptionally beautiful, with a graceful figure that remains conspicuous even in plain clothing 3 108.
- Papal attire: Wears a bright-gold robe embroidered with golden runes and patterns, with gemstones set into its collar and cuffs 3.
- Crown: Features a large purple gemstone with a faint internal glow 3.
- Public bearing: Her calm gaze carries enough authority and coldness to make subordinates avoid meeting her eyes 3 153.
- Later transformation: Cultivation makes her look young enough to be mistaken for Ye Xinyu’s sister. Her poison-associated sinister aura gives way to a grand, righteous presence 223.
Personality
Bibi Dong is proud, commanding, and accustomed to obedience. Her aloof manner is partly a habit developed through years in power: she regards it as necessary to intimidate subordinates. Her confidence can also become overconfidence, as when she initially dismisses the danger of Pangu’s Essence Blood because she is already near Rank 99 30.
Her political judgment emphasizes secrecy, leverage, and avoiding unnecessary losses. She withholds her full strength from Qian Daoliu, postpones a decisive conflict with the Clear Sky Sect, and refuses another immediate hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest because provoking a beast tide would endanger nearby Spirit City 105 106 224.
Her affection for Ye Xinyu is genuine but controlling. She invents a story about selling herself into Spirit Hall’s service to discourage her daughter from relying entirely on her. At other times, she offers choices, respects personal secrets, and supports Ye Xinyu’s need for combat experience 12 19 197 226.
Her relationship with Qian Renxue exposes guilt, anger, and difficulty expressing care. She reacts harshly when Qian Renxue calls her “elder sister,” yet prepares valuable soul beasts for her cultivation and worries about her undercover mission. Attempts at reconciliation repeatedly collide with Qian Renxue’s resentment 81 82 88 205 206.
Bibi Dong is ruthless toward enemies she considers future threats, but protective of useful and loyal followers. She kills the Demon Empress rather than accept a potentially treacherous mount, while rescuing Yue Guan and preventing Bo Saixi from killing her subordinates. Her concern for her daughters can also justify indiscriminate violence in her own eyes, including her attack on Sea God Island 243 244.

Demonic Spider Summon
- Her third soul skill originates from a 1,200-year soul ring 5.
- The Seed of Corrosion triples both the approximate number of summoned spiders and their individual strength 5.

- Produces an effect comparable to a 20,000–30,000-year soul skill while retaining thousand-year-level Soul Power consumption 5.

- Stops the Titan Giant Ape’s attack with one hand and fights it without first summoning her martial soul 97 98.

- Conversion temporarily restricts her usable strength. While more than 80% remains unconverted, Qian Daoliu’s attribute can still restrain her remaining power 105.
- Powerful attacks remain dangerous: Xiong Jun’s spatial-shattering claw light forces her to evade rather than receive it directly 99.
Extreme Martial Overlord Fist
- Channels nine soul rings around her arm, then injects their power into an opponent’s body to cause internal explosions 99.
- Kills Xiong Jun by detonating the power inside its heart 99.

- Her strengthened body reduces Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring absorption to only a few minutes 98 99.
- The system offers soul-ring removal, but warns that it lowers her Soul Power and permits only one removal per year. The supplied passages show her considering this option, not completing a removal 91.
Secret-Plane Access
- Opens a passage to another plane using Grandmist Violet Qi as the key and a small amount of Soul Power 90.
- Uses the plane to cultivate soul beasts for higher-quality soul rings 90.
- A three-tailed spirit fox grows from roughly 2,000 years to nearly 3,000 years in less than a month 90.

Spiritual Power and Cultivation Guidance

God-Level Soul Power
- Reaches Level 100 through her own cultivation rather than completing a divine-position inheritance 243.

- Can unleash the Rakshasa Scythe’s divine-artifact power, but is still overwhelmed by the Sea God projection’s stronger water-element attack 246.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Rakshasa Scythe — Borrows it from Ye Xinyu. Her prior connection to the Rakshasa inheritance allows her to wield it directly; she uses it to kill the Demon Empress and attack Sea God Island 226 243 244.
- Immortal Slaying Sword — Temporarily supplied by Ling’er. One strike kills the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and countless nearby sea creatures, but completely exhausts Bibi Dong. Ling’er later refuses to lend it again 241 244.
- Pangu’s Essence Blood — A system reward refined gradually through her heart meridians to strengthen her physique 30 83.
- Grandmist Violet Qi — Tempers her body and Soul Power and enables access to the secret plane. The system describes it as a foundation containing a complete Great Dao law 86 89 90.

- Lovesick Heartbreak Red — Gift from Qian Renxue; Bibi Dong forcibly tears it apart and consumes it, reaching Rank 99 82 83.

Relationships
- Ye Xinyu — Younger daughter, secretly raised outside the public ruling family. Bibi Dong conceals her identity, heavily supports her cultivation, and eventually gives her authority during seclusion. Ye Xinyu later sacrifices herself to save her mother 19 224 267 284 285.
- Qian Renxue / Xiao Xue — Elder daughter. Their relationship is strained by Bibi Dong’s past treatment of her and the concealed circumstances of her birth. Bibi Dong prepares powerful cultivation resources for her and ultimately returns Spirit Hall’s leadership to her 205 206 281 283 285.
- Hu Liena — Disciple. Bibi Dong monitors her cultivation, arranges soul hunting, and corrects unstable Soul Power 87 90 154.
- Yu Xiaogang / Grandmaster — Former lover. Lingering affection leads her to send resources, offer an Honorary Elder position, and resist Qian Renxue’s plans to arrest him. She later reflects on having failed to recognize his intentions 3 32 85 87.
- Qian Xunji — Former teacher and Pope; raped Bibi Dong and fathered Qian Renxue. Bibi Dong killed him and absorbed his power 281 283.

- Ling’er / the system / Chaos Pearl — Provides missions, rewards, cultivation information, and borrowed weapons. Bibi Dong increasingly questions its manipulation; Ling’er eventually reveals herself as the Chaos Pearl and offers refuge to Spirit Hall 30 157 240 244 285.
- Tang Hao — Indirectly helped her kill Qian Xunji. She initially avoids pursuing him, then orders an investigation when Tang San’s identity becomes relevant 3.
- Tang San — Destiny-protected enemy whose growth and rising Fortune threaten Spirit Hall. Bibi Dong initially seeks to hinder him rather than kill him directly 4 153.
- Bo Saixi — Defeated enemy whose Soul Power Bibi Dong seals. She keeps Bo Saixi alive as a captive and brings her to Qian Daoliu 243 246.
- Sea God — Divine enemy who covets Grandmist Violet Qi, overwhelms her during their confrontation, and later sends officials equipped to kill her 246 274.
