Background
Golden Peng was discovered by Yun Ting as a massive egg suffused with Yin Yang energy. The system identified him as a Golden Winged Great Peng and recommended taking him as a disciple because his innate Yin Yang energy suited Yun Ting's Great Dao of Yin Yang. Yun Ting hatched him after roughly one hundred days. 17 18
At birth, Golden Peng inherited an unusually heavy karmic burden from the Three Tribes War as a direct descendant of Yuan Feng. His traits included Soaring Straight Up, Extreme Speed Storm, Golden Wings Tear the Sky, Sharp Gaze Light Wave, and Heavenly Peng Soars Unbound, but also the Black+ trait Entangled by Karma. Yun Ting transferred the karma to himself, formally accepted Golden Peng as his disciple, and passed on part of his Great Dao of Yin Yang. 18
By the Human Race's founding, Golden Peng had reached Great Luo Golden Immortal and possessed Seventh-Grade Three Flowers. He later served as a deputy Holy Envoy of the Human Race, where he taught humans how to build nests. The achievement of You Chao Shi earned Golden Peng forty percent of a descending merit cloud; he kept the merit rather than refining it, hoping to eventually repay the Phoenix Race's karma. 70 86 89

Personality
Golden Peng is confident, sarcastic, and highly competitive. He frequently taunts stronger opponents, including Xuandu and Maitreya, while showing particular pride in his Phoenix heritage, innate Yin Yang energy, and close-combat ability. 202 422 477
His confidence can become arrogance; Yuanshi reprimands him after he mocks Randeng, and Yun Ting repeatedly intervenes when his overwhelming victories risk harming relations between sects. 170 203 204 Despite this, he respects Yun Ting's orders, conceding against Duobao and White Crane when preserving sect harmony is more important than winning. 177 204 282
Golden Peng is also protective of his master's interests. He defended Yun Ting's sentient gourd babies from Guang Chengzi, Yu Ding, and Ci Hang, and he later intentionally lost a spar against Ao Bing to establish his junior brother's prestige within the Wu Clan. 129 256
