Background

Duobao grew up in the Intercepting Sect and was deeply affected by its dissolution during the Investiture of the Gods Calamity. Tongtian's willingness to abandon his Saintly position and dissolve the sect for its disciples became Duobao's model for leadership; Duobao consequently views protecting Biyou Palace and clearing dangers from its path as his responsibility. 34 93

Tongtian considered placing Duobao in charge because he could stabilize the sect's destiny through a Chaos Spirit Treasure and the support of Biyou Palace's seven other true disciples. Duobao ultimately became the Palace Master, commanding the Mystic Gate's second-generation disciples during the Journey to the West Calamity. 10 146

Appearance

Duobao is plump and fair, with an honest, simple-looking smile that frequently causes others to underestimate him. His sincere demeanor sharply contrasts with his reputation as a meticulous schemer. 76 103

• A massive Golden Wheel of Merit manifests behind his head in battle. 27 119
• His Pangu True Body enlarges his physique, producing bulging muscles and prominent veins across his fists. 27
• He often carries himself with a calm, polite, and seemingly harmless expression even while threatening opponents. 98 103

Personality

Duobao is protective, ruthless, and highly duty-driven. As Biyou Palace's senior disciple, he believes he must shield his junior brothers and sisters; this conviction leaves him unwilling to show softness toward rivals competing for Luck, Merit, and orthodoxy. 24 34

He favors open schemes: he states his goals openly, then creates circumstances in which opponents must either accept his terms or suffer the consequences. This approach lets him seek Merit from the Journey to the West while simultaneously undermining Buddhism's confidence and Dao Hearts. 113 119

Despite his confidence, Duobao is not reckless. He withdrew from Minghe rather than reveal a trump card at an inopportune moment, recognizes when an opponent's attributes put him at a disadvantage, and continuously polishes his already exceptional foundation instead of rushing toward Hunyuan. 22 76 96

Abilities & Skills

Peak Quasi-Saint Cultivation

Duobao is one of Biyou Palace's eight peak Quasi-Saints and is repeatedly recognized as the strongest figure beneath a Saint. His cultivation, Dao Foundation, and combat record make even Saint avatars and Buddhist leaders treat him as a major threat. 20 82 105

• Holds back from attaining Hunyuan in order to perfect his foundation and seek a more complete breakthrough. 76 96
• Is described as a rare True Immortal of Merit and Fortune and Virtue. 93
• Can face several high-level Quasi-Saints at once without losing composure. 101 118

Great Dao of Strength

Duobao entered the Quasi-Saint realm through the Great Dao of Strength, a law noted for its exceptional combat power. 20

• His bare-handed punches reduce several of Minghe's Quasi-Saint Blood God Son clones to blood mist at once. 22
• He struck Minghe with enough force to shake the space inside the Immortal Slaying Sword Array. 20
• He sent Great Sun Rulai flying with a single punch and disrupted the surrounding disasters of earth, water, fire, and wind. 120

Pangu True Body and Nine Revolutions Profound Technique

Duobao combines the Pangu True Body, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique, and the Great Dao of Strength—three powers associated with the Ancestral Witches but not jointly mastered by any of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. 27

• Greatly enhances his physical resilience; Yang Liu Daoist's Space Dao punch failed to damage him. 27
• Allows him to manifest a larger, physically overwhelming battle form. 27 119
• Gives him the force necessary to confront overwhelming numbers of Quasi-Saints directly. 89 105

Immortal Slaying Sword Array

Tongtian passed the Immortal Slaying Sword Array to Duobao and publicly affirmed that it belonged to him. The array is a supreme killing formation traditionally said to require four Sages to break when deployed by a Sage. 16 17

• Deploys the Immortal Slaying Sword Diagram and the four swords: the Immortal Slaying Sword, Immortal Slaughtering Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, and Immortal Vanquishing Sword. 17
• Its conventional breaking method requires removing all four swords simultaneously. 16 19
• Duobao can use the array to control the battlefield, escape encirclement, observe those trapped inside through the Water Mirror Technique, and manipulate the flow of time within it. 22 90
• The array later mutates into a Chaos Spirit Treasure, increasing its power severalfold and allowing its killing intent and the four calamities to disorient even Saint avatars. 109 110 111
• Within Amitabha's Dream Realm, Duobao used the diagram to repeatedly absorb and erase its Quasi-Saint thought-forms, crippling the Dream Realm's overall strength. 91 93

Earth Splitting Chisel

Duobao possesses a dark-yellow chisel known as the Earth Splitting Chisel. Its true classification is disputed, but it is regarded as a treasure beyond ordinary innate supreme treasures and is associated with Chaos Spirit Treasure-level power. 27 98

• Killed Yang Liu Daoist, a peak Quasi-Saint avatar of Great Immortal Yang Mei, in a single strike; the chisel absorbed both his body and primordial spirit, preventing reincarnation. 29
• Broke Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light and the Innate Five Elements Dragon Trapping Array. 118 119
• Destroyed Amitabha's Dream Realm at its source, annihilating its consciousness, Fen Tian, and inflicting severe backlash on Amitabha. 102 105 108
• Suppresses Duobao's Luck, contributing to others' inability to fully discern his cultivation. 74

Merit and Analytical Techniques

Duobao's vast Merit is both a protective asset and a key part of his cultivation path. His Golden Wheel of Merit can reduce hostile pressure, including the Heavenly Dao's oppression within Amitabha's dreamscape. 76 88

• Uses the Water Mirror Technique to investigate enemies trapped within the Immortal Slaying Sword Array. 90
• Identified that Amitabha's Dream Realm inhabitants were thought-forms unable to survive outside the Dream Realm, then exploited this weakness. 91 102
• Maintains extensive knowledge of opponents' backgrounds and abilities, including Kong Xuan's Five-Colored Divine Light. 100 115

Equipment

• Immortal Slaying Sword Diagram — The formation core used to establish the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and isolate the battlefield. 109
• Immortal Slaying Four Swords — The four swords that anchor the array in the cardinal directions. 17
• Earth Splitting Chisel — A supreme chisel capable of destroying formations, breaking powerful restraints, and erasing Quasi-Saint opponents. 29 102 119
• Golden Wheel of Merit — A manifestation of Duobao's Merit used for protection and empowerment. 88 119

Relationships

• Tongtian — Duobao's master and the one who entrusted him with the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and leadership of Biyou Palace. Tongtian remains consistently confident in Duobao's judgment and survival. 16 86 146
• Jinling, Wudang, Guiling, Zhao Gongming, and the Sanxiao — Duobao's fellow members of Biyou Palace's Eight Great Disciples. He sees them as people he must protect and leads them as senior brother. 24 37
• Sun Wukong — Duobao addresses Sun Wukong as Martial Uncle. Wukong entrusted Duobao with managing a Journey to the West tribulation, while Duobao relies on their cordial relationship as a potential safeguard. 75 86
• Yuanshi — A senior of the Mystic Gate who greatly admires Duobao's talent, repeatedly regrets not taking him as a disciple, and considers him exceptionally suited to strategic cultivation. 22 105 112
• Minghe — A major Investiture of the Gods opponent. Duobao used the Immortal Slaying Sword Array and his own combat ability to pressure Minghe and shatter the confidence of the Western Teachings. 17 20 22
• Great Sun Rulai, Kong Xuan, Amitabha, and Old Ancestor Bodhi — Buddhist rivals who repeatedly confront Duobao during the Journey to the West. Their attempt to jointly kill him ends with all four injured and their Dao Hearts shaken. 101 118 120
• Jieyin and Zhunti — The Two Sages of the West recognize that Duobao is exploiting their need for the Western prosperity, forcing them to cooperate with plans that also suppress Buddhism. 82 108 113
• Luohu — Duobao's broader strategy strengthens Buddhism's destiny so that Luohu's strength rises, preserving a confrontation between Luohu and Hongjun from which the Mystic Gate may benefit. 80 130

Story Role / Major Arcs

Investiture of the Gods Calamity

• Duobao deploys the Immortal Slaying Sword Array over the battlefield, trapping Western Teachings forces and making the array his principal means of pressure. 16 17
• He reveals himself as a peak Quasi-Saint wielding the Great Dao of Strength, then fights Minghe while using the battle to cultivate fear among the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Western Teachings. 20 22
• He kills Yang Liu Daoist with the Earth Splitting Chisel, destroying both the avatar's body and primordial spirit. 29
• His broader objective is not merely slaughter: he aims to cripple the Dao Hearts of an entire generation of Western Teachings disciples, leaving Buddhism's future forces deeply compromised. 77 103

Journey to the West Obstruction

• After emerging from seclusion, Duobao accepts Sun Wukong's request to oversee the next tribulation and blocks Tang Sanzang's party for a minimum of three years. 75 76
• He openly declares that blocking the Journey to the West is his attempt to seize a “sliver of life” for the Mystic Gate rather than simply accept Buddhism's destined supremacy. 79
• His deeper plan is to increase the Journey's difficulty and Merit, strengthen Buddhism's destiny, and thereby strengthen Luohu enough to contest Hongjun. 80 82 130

Amitabha's Dream Realm

• Amitabha traps Duobao in a dream world populated by vast numbers of Quasi-Saint thought-forms. 88 89
• Duobao discovers that the thought-forms cannot leave the Dream Realm, then uses the Immortal Slaying Sword Array to eliminate them in repeated waves. 90 91
• He ultimately strikes the Dream Realm itself with the Earth Splitting Chisel, destroying Fen Tian and causing severe backlash to Amitabha. 102 108

Battle Against Buddhism's Four Great Powers

• Duobao uses the enhanced Immortal Slaying Sword Array to pressure Old Ancestor Bodhi, Amitabha, Great Sun Rulai, and Kong Xuan into proposing individual spars instead of enduring the formation. 109 112
• He deliberately lures the four into launching a coordinated sneak attack inside the array. 118 119
• Duobao breaks Kong Xuan's restraint with the Earth Splitting Chisel, drives back Great Sun Rulai with the Great Dao of Strength, and leaves all four Buddhist powers injured and shaken in their Dao Hearts. 119 120
