Background / History
After proving the Dao, the Immortal Emperor sought out the Human Emperor at Chaos Mountain. He asked about other paths to immortality and requested a sparring match, only for his forbidden divine ability to be effortlessly annihilated. Rather than becoming discouraged, he treated the overwhelming gap between them as a goal to pursue. 120 121
Inspired by the Human Emperor's path, he merged his Primordial Spirit with his Dao weapon, the Slaying Immortal Gourd, as an alternative longevity method. He initially believed that he could resist assimilation by the weapon, but later conceded that the process would inevitably consume him if continued. 121 122 132
Seeking a way out, he adopted a further transformation method: becoming a seed and burying himself in Chaos Mountain. His transformed body grew into a gourd vine containing his sealed consciousness. He eventually escaped the weapon-bound state, making him the precedent later studied by the Human Emperor, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord, Daoist Heavenly Lord, and Blood Phoenix Emperor. 132 141 144
He later prepared to pursue immortality while entrusting his disciple Blood Phoenix Emperor's transformed Phoenix Wing Gilded Tang to the Human Emperor's care. 172
Personality
The Immortal Emperor is ambitious, resilient, and deeply unwilling to accept the limits of the Human Dao. His defeat by the Human Emperor did not damage his Dao heart; instead, it reinforced his determination to find his own route to immortality. 121
His pursuit of longevity stems partly from regret and loneliness. He left his relatives, friends, disciples, and followers behind during his rise, then saw those around him perish in the Corpse Calamity. He deliberately did not establish a Dao lineage after becoming Emperor because he did not wish to endure the loss of more companions to age. 141
Abilities & Skills
Gourd Transformation Dao Sword
A forbidden divine ability wielded through the Slaying Immortal Gourd.
- Used against the Human Emperor during their first sparring session. 120
- Its attack was easily grasped and annihilated by the Human Emperor, demonstrating the vast disparity between them at the time. 120
Primordial Spirit–Dao Weapon Fusion
The Immortal Emperor pioneered an alternative longevity method by merging his Primordial Spirit with his Dao weapon.
- Greatly extends lifespan, allowing prolonged research into longevity methods. 121 122
- Initially permits the user to retain consciousness and potentially withdraw from the weapon. 122
- Prolonged fusion leads to unavoidable assimilation by the Dao weapon. 122 132
- His eventual escape from this state provided a valuable reference for later longevity research. 141 144
Seed and Gourd-Vine Transformation
After recognizing the danger of weapon assimilation, he transformed himself into a seed for rebirth.
- Buried himself within Chaos Mountain. 132
- Developed into a gourd vine whose sealed consciousness retained Immortal Dao characteristics. 132
- Successfully broke free from his former Dao weapon state before the Blood Phoenix Emperor adopted a similar method. 141
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Slaying Immortal Gourd — His Dao weapon and the vessel with which he merged his Primordial Spirit. 120 121
- Gourd Transformation Dao Sword — Forbidden divine ability associated with the Slaying Immortal Gourd. 120
Relationships
- Human Emperor (Chen Zhao) — Mentor and source of inspiration for his longevity path. The Immortal Emperor sought his instruction, listened to his teachings, and came to regard himself as part of his lineage. 120 121 137
- Blood Phoenix Emperor — Disciple and close companion. The Blood Phoenix Emperor sought him out for guidance on the Dao weapon fusion longevity method and addressed him as “Immortal Master.” 137 172

- Daoist Heavenly Lord — Fellow researcher in the transformation method developed using the Blood Phoenix Emperor as a reference. 144

Story Role / Major Arcs
Challenge at Chaos Mountain
Soon after proving the Dao, the Immortal Emperor visited the Human Emperor to ask about immortality and test his strength. His failure to move the Human Emperor with the Gourd Transformation Dao Sword established both his ambition and the scale of the Human Emperor's advancement. 120 121
Alternative Longevity Experiment
He fused his Primordial Spirit with the Slaying Immortal Gourd, becoming the first known figure in the Human World Universe to take this route. The method granted longevity but exposed him to gradual assimilation. 121 122 144
Gourdling Transformation
Having acknowledged the fatal flaw in his original plan, he adopted a seed-based transformation method and became a gourd vine in Chaos Mountain. His eventual liberation showed that an Emperor refined into an Immortal Artifact could potentially break free again. 132 141
Teacher of the Blood Phoenix Emperor
The Blood Phoenix Emperor approached him after failing to meet the Human Emperor. The Immortal Emperor passed on the method of Primordial Spirit–Dao weapon fusion, though he later regretted drawing his disciple onto such a dangerous path. 137 172
Trivia
- His name and weapon both reflect his ambition to attain immortality. 121
- He considered his participation in the divine war alongside the Human Emperor to be the most correct decision of his life, as it connected him to the path of immortality. 172
- He did not establish a Dao lineage after becoming Emperor due to the grief of outliving those close to him. 141
