Power Progression

Background / History

Su Changqing is a survivor of the Caomiao Village tragedy 1. Despite possessing poor spiritual root aptitude, he was accepted into the Qingyun Sect's Little Bamboo Peak by Master Shui Yue, who took pity on his status as an orphan 3. Upon beginning his cultivation, he manifested the "Unrivaled Insight" ability, which allowed him to refine the sect's foundational Taiji Xuanqing Dao into the more profound Wuji Xuanqing Dao 4. He maintains a low profile, often concealing his true cultivation level to avoid unwanted attention while pursuing his goal of reaching the Great Dao 7 8 25.

He is highly strategic, often feigning weakness to hide his true strength from potential enemies 25 28.
