Background / History

Qian Daoliu encountered Mu Yu in the Star Dou Great Forest after she saved his injured granddaughter, Qian Renxue, from a Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent despite not having awakened her Martial Soul. Impressed by her courage, strength, and polite demeanor, he invited her to Martial Soul Hall. 3

After Mu Yu agreed to remain in Martial Soul Hall, Qian Daoliu formally recognized her as his granddaughter and presented her adoption to the other Worship Hall Enshrined as the Elder Hall gaining a new “Young Master.” He also revealed that she was an heir to a deity. 4

He became one of Mu Yu’s principal supporters during her cultivation, protecting her privacy after her second Martial Soul awakened and taking her God of Space inheritance seriously despite the extreme requirements. 6 7 Following her return from Slaughter City, he was astonished that her Slaughter God’s Domain could rival his Angel Domain in power. 14

Qian Daoliu later helped arrange Mu Yu’s apprenticeship under Bone Douluo, personally accompanying her to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 14 15 He continued to provide resources for her divine trials, including mobilizing the Worship Hall to obtain Soul Bones and procuring Deep Sea Sinking Silver for a custom sword. 22 29

Appearance

Mu Yu initially regards Qian Daoliu as a “handsome angel grandfather.” 3

• Carries an angelic impression befitting his position and Angel Domain. 3 14
• Can manifest wings and fly. 23

Personality

Qian Daoliu is intensely affectionate toward Mu Yu and openly proud of her accomplishments. Though he maintains the composure expected of Martial Soul Hall’s Great Enshrined, he struggles to contain his excitement whenever she displays exceptional talent or returns safely from danger. 4 14

He is protective without being wholly controlling. He lets Mu Yu make key decisions—including joining Soul Ring hunts and choosing her own teacher—while ensuring that the Worship Hall’s Enshrined and other powerful allies can support her. 7 14

His pride can become playful and boastful, especially when introducing Mu Yu’s dual Martial Souls or discussing her achievements. 15 He also takes perceived threats against Martial Soul Hall personally; after hearing Mu Yu’s suspicions that Tang Hao manipulated the Hall in the past, he promises retaliation if the accusation is proven. 35
