Background / History

Helian Feng was appointed by the Ascending Dragon Pavilion to guide Gu Yang after Gu Yang received Jia-grade treatment on Canglong Island. Though Gu Yang addressed him as “Master Helian,” their initial arrangement was not a formal master-disciple relationship. Helian Feng took the role because he believed Gu Yang could surpass Canglan, despite others doubting that possibility. 73

Having specialized in Fish Dragon Transformation and Azure Dragon Force during his own Body Realm cultivation, Helian Feng directed Gu Yang to focus on those two techniques. He also assigned reading on cultivation and the Vast Continent, testing Gu Yang's understanding and insisting that, as a human genius, Gu Yang must stand with humanity rather than remain neutral toward the races' conflicts. 73 75 78

His relationship with Gu Yang gradually became paternal. He worried over Gu Yang's safety in Yinfeng Cave, prepared Bone Forging resources for him before Gu Yang acquired Yinfeng Ice Marrow, and later intervened personally when Gu Yang faced pressure from the Ji, Li, and Liu families. Although he stresses self-reliance, he also introduced Gu Yang to the Ascending Dragon Pavilion's Great Elder to obtain a Myriad Life Flower. 120 122 152 153

Appearance

Helian Feng is a middle-aged man who initially appears in black martial attire. He carries himself with a cold, stern demeanor and often stands with his hands behind his back. 73

• Middle-aged appearance. 73
• Wears black martial clothing during his first meeting with Gu Yang. 73
• Later fights with a longsword and an imposing elder's presence. 208 355
• His Primordial Spirit manifests as golden radiance; his Dharma Image takes the form of a majestic griffin. 208 362

Personality

Helian Feng is demanding and direct as an instructor. He expects Gu Yang to develop a Martial Dao Will rather than rely solely on his unusual advantages, and he insists that rapid breakthroughs must not come at the cost of an unstable foundation. 76 116

He is firmly aligned with humanity in the conflict against alien races. His warnings about the Three Border Provinces are blunt and severe, reflecting his belief that the struggle will end only when one side is destroyed. 75 83

Despite his sternness, Helian Feng is deeply protective of Gu Yang. His concern over Yinfeng Cave, swift response to Gu Yang's family troubles, and private sense of parental warmth toward Gu Yang show an affectionate side he does not openly emphasize. 120 122 152

Abilities & Skills

Swordsmanship and Magic Power

Helian Feng is an elite swordsman whose techniques combine precision, speed, and overwhelming Magic Power.

• Uses wind-and-thunder sword qi, including the technique “Wind and thunder unite, sword breaks the nine heavens!” against a Black Demon Race Elder. 208
• Forms radiant swords from Magic Power and employs large-scale formations that hinder opponents and convert gathered power into attacks. 354
• Condenses a transparent longsword from his Magic Power during his battle against the Multi-horn Race Dharma Image expert. 355
• Creates a massive sword formation whose sword intent embodies his lifelong Sword Dao cultivation, overwhelming an enemy's final frost attack. 355
• His swordsmanship is precise enough to repeatedly exploit a Dharma Image expert's weaknesses before delivering a fatal strike through the heart. 355

Primordial Spirit

Helian Feng can manifest and expend his Primordial Spirit in life-or-death combat.

• His Primordial Spirit emerges as golden light resembling a miniature sun. 208
• He can burn Primordial Spirit power to empower a decisive sword attack, though doing so severely drains him. 208
• During the battle against Wind Cloud City's City Lord, his Primordial Spirit leaves his body and becomes a massive sword shadow to break the City Lord's defensive barrier. 363 364
• Leaving the body carries extreme risk; Gu Yang recognizes that a failure could cause Helian Feng's spirit to scatter. 363

Griffin Dharma Image

Helian Feng possesses a griffin-shaped Dharma Image that enhances his sword combat.

• The Dharma Image manifests as a lion-headed, eagle-winged griffin. 362
• Its presence sharpens and strengthens his swordplay, allowing his attacks to carry the griffin's force. 362
• He can merge the griffin's golden radiance back into his body to further intensify his swordsmanship. 363

Movement Technique

Helian Feng possesses extraordinary speed and evasive ability.

• During a spar with Gu Yang, he moved quickly enough to create numerous simultaneous afterimages around the Training Ground. 117
• The afterimages were not illusions; each represented Helian Feng's position at a different instant of high-speed movement. 117
• Even Gu Yang's Soul Secret Power could not distinguish Helian Feng's true position during this display. 117

Command and Tactical Planning

Helian Feng is an experienced battlefield leader who combines direct combat with deception and coordinated operations.

• He helped Gu Yang divide their force during the Ghost Gorge counter-encirclement, creating false tracks and attacking pursuing forces from behind. 359
• He independently gathered intelligence on the Night Walker in Wind Cloud City and prepared a jade slip containing his findings. 360 361
• He participated in the covert infiltration and decapitation operation against Wind Cloud City's City Lord. 358 362

Story Role / Major Arcs

Gu Yang's Cultivation on Canglong Island

Helian Feng serves as Gu Yang's guide for Fish Dragon Transformation and Azure Dragon Force, explaining cultivation theory, correcting Gu Yang's practice, and setting the requirement that Gu Yang condense a Martial Dao Will in the Leakless Realm. Gu Yang's abnormal rate of progress repeatedly leaves him impressed, frustrated, and embarrassed by how little instruction remains necessary. 73 76 78 82 84

Yinfeng Cave and Blood Transformation

Helian Feng tests Gu Yang before permitting Yinfeng Cave training, worries about his safety inside the cave, and later confirms the value of Gu Yang's Yinfeng Ice Marrow. He also helps Gu Yang obtain access to the Myriad Life Flower needed for Hundred Day Blood Transformation. 116 122 153

Canglong Island's War Against the Black Demon Race

During the larger war, Helian Feng risks his Primordial Spirit in a decisive clash with a Black Demon Race Elder. He later joins Shui Ling in a coordinated assault against a Black Demon War King. 208 215

Multi-horn Race Border Mission

Helian Feng arrives in time to save the badly wounded Gu Yang from a Multi-horn Race Dharma Image expert. He then suppresses and kills the enemy through superior Sword Dao, formations, and Magic Power before leading the squad to safety for recovery. 354 355

Wind Cloud City Operation and Escape

Helian Feng joins Gu Yang in sabotage, intelligence gathering, and the assassination of Wind Cloud City's City Lord. He manifests both his griffin Dharma Image and his Primordial Spirit during the battle, helping shatter the City Lord's barrier. When Night Walker's forces pursue the team, Helian Feng fights alongside Gu Yang to protect the wounded, break encirclements, and guide the group toward the Multi-horn Race border. 358 368

Trivia

• Helian Feng never married or had children; his bond with Gu Yang gives him a warmth he compares to being with his own child. 122
• He once purchased the same soul-perception-enhancing training facility used by Gu Yang when he was younger, but found its effects on himself disappointingly weak. 82
• He is several centuries old, making the much younger Helian Qi seem young enough for him to call “Xiao Qi.” 152
