Background / History
Born into the Lin Family with an Innate Yin Meridian—also called an Innate Fatal Meridian—Lin Xin Tong was fated to face a cultivation bottleneck and die young. Her condition led some relatives to resent the resources spent on her, ridicule her as cursed, and expect her death; the Lin Family Old Matriarch and Su Jie were among the few who treated her with genuine care. 138 394 396
Rather than accept this fate, Xin Tong made mending her meridians the defining pursuit of her life. She refused a proposed marriage alliance with the Shentu Family, even though its promised treatment could potentially cure her, because she would not exchange her beliefs or body for survival. 396
She traveled with Su Jie to Yunhuang, where she demonstrated extraordinary talent as a Savage Heaven Master and met Yi Yun. Her contact with him caused unusual fluctuations in her Fatal Meridian, giving her a possible path toward recovery. 44 138
The Lin Family later concentrated its experts and resources on her preparation for the Empress Secret Realm. There, she gained recognition from the Ancient Empress’s legacy, endured the Extreme Cold Ice Plain, and discovered the Empress Heart Sutra, a method suited to balancing her Pure Yin constitution with Pure Yang energy. 447 496 529
After leaving the God Descending Tower, she cultivated independently in the Divine Desolation and developed the Empress Heart Sutra to near perfection. 645 At a later point, she became Bai Yueyin’s closed-door disciple, underwent two reincarnations through the Great Reincarnation Technique, and was designated Baiyue Divine Kingdom’s successor. 702 946
Appearance
Lin Xin Tong is a tall, slender young woman whose composed bearing is repeatedly compared to an ethereal fairy. She commonly wears white or snow-white robes and carries herself with quiet elegance. 51 91 125
- Long dark hair and clear, glass-like eyes. 91 496
- Usually wears a long skirt or white robe; she used a veil when appearing before a large public crowd. 51 125
- Her appearance and apparent age changed after two reincarnations; she later appeared around fifteen or sixteen years old. 946 959
- Has a Red Lotus Mark with two petals after undergoing two reincarnations. 946
Personality
Xin Tong is naturally quiet, reserved, and courteous. She is sparing with words, outwardly calm even under pressure, and rarely smiles except around people she trusts. 51 470 531
Her gentleness does not weaken her resolve. Having grown up under the shadow of her Fatal Meridian, she refuses to let family interests, fear of death, or destiny dictate her path. 396 447 She is also patient as a teacher, freely sharing martial insights and refining resources for Yi Yun’s growth. 92 110 139
Though initially aloof, Xin Tong comes to value companionship and openly recognizes Yi Yun as a source of safety, support, and good fortune in her life. 438 523 572
