Background / History

Qin Hai was the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land's Sect Master when his daughter, Qin Suyi, was born amid heavenly omens. He is also the father of Qin An and Qin Baishang, and the maternal grandfather of Xia Wuji. 574 595

When Qin Suyi became embroiled in conflict with the Azure Wave Divine Sect, Qin Hai entered the Dark Forbidden Zone in search of the Darkness Law, intending to seek help for her. He became trapped there, while the Qin family was suppressed and Heaven Inquiry Peak was occupied. 590 683

Qin Hai eventually emerged from the Dark Forbidden Zone carrying severe dark-aura corruption. His return, along with Qin An's, allowed the Qin family to reclaim Heaven Inquiry Peak, though his condition initially left him expecting eventual death or mutual destruction with his enemies. 590 597

During the Heavenly Origin Pool dispute, Qin Hai noticed Qin Suyi's resemblance in Xia Wuji and later learned that the young cultivator was his grandson. The revelation transformed his priorities: he began rebuilding the Qin family's position, protecting Xia Wuji and Qin Yu, and preparing to rescue Qin Suyi. 591 595 597

Appearance

Qin Hai is an elder with snow-white hair and the imposing bearing of a Saint Realm powerhouse. 591

• His presence can project overwhelming Saint Realm pressure. 593 606
• His combat aura is associated with violent storms and howling wind blades. 681 683
• He is frequently depicted wielding the Heaven Supporting Tablet in battle. 607 741

Personality

Qin Hai is intensely family-oriented. The suffering of Qin Suyi, Qin Baishang, Qin An, and Xia Wuji drives many of his decisions, from entering the Dark Forbidden Zone to confronting the Azure Wave Divine Sect. 595 683 690

He is blunt, proud, and highly confrontational toward those who threaten his family or Heaven Inquiry/Heaven-Seeking Peak. He refuses to yield to stronger factions, rejects attempts to seize Qin-family assets, and is willing to kill rivals when he judges their crimes proven. 607 683 696

Despite his severity, Qin Hai is deeply affectionate toward his descendants. After recognizing Xia Wuji, he openly embraces him, provides resources to both Xia Wuji and Qin Yu, and regrets being unable to protect them earlier in life. 595 597 626

Abilities & Skills

Storm Domain

Qin Hai's primary combat domain manifests as a storm-filled world capable of shredding attacks, suppressing opponents, and producing overwhelming destructive force. 681 683

• Defeated Lin Zhengyang's flame domain in a direct clash. 681
• Used storm power to suppress an Azure Wave Divine Sect elder of the same cultivation level. 683
• His domain later integrated a fragment of a Supreme Saint's small world, making it exceptionally stable in domain clashes. 741 752
• The domain can be damaged by specialized anti-domain treasures, forcing Qin Hai to rest and repair it. 742

Divine Illumination Technique

Xia Wuji gave Qin Hai the Divine Illumination Technique, a divine-level inheritance that rapidly strengthened his cultivation and combat power. 681

• Allowed his strength to surpass cultivators of the same realm, including an Azure Wave Divine Sect elder. 683
• Enabled him to use the divine technique Illuminating the Universe, which neutralized He Lianchuan's Ice Descends Upon the Gods. 749
• Helped suppress the dark aura left in his body by the Dark Forbidden Zone. 596
• Its high-consumption killing moves placed heavy strain on him during prolonged combat. 750

Sacred Artifact Mastery

Qin Hai is capable of wielding Sacred Artifacts in direct combat and using them to reinforce Heaven Inquiry/Heaven-Seeking Peak's position. 607

• Heaven Inquiry Sacred Sword — reclaimed by Xia Wuji from the Soldier's Den; Qin Hai later entrusted it to Xia Wuji. 607
• Heaven Supporting Tablet — used to repel Shen Cong, protect Xia Wuji and Yang Ruochan, and crush Saint Realm opponents. 607 683
• Used the tablet's light-infused power to suppress dark creatures during the Dark Forbidden Zone campaign. 702 705
• The tablet was ultimately destroyed while Qin Hai defended the Realm Passage from the Azure Wave Divine Sect. 741

Leadership and Strategy

Qin Hai combines direct strength with political and military leadership.

• Reinstated himself as Heavenly Origin Sacred Master and appointed Qin An as Peak Lord of Heaven-Seeking Peak. 696
• Secured the Three Great Ancestors' support through Giant Spirit Sacred Pills. 679
• Gathered support from the True Dragon Hall, Pill Pagoda, Wind and Cloud Association, and Source Stone Merchant Guild against the Blood Robe Tower. 668

• Held the Realm Passage for nearly eight days to delay the Azure Wave Divine Sect and buy time for Xia Wuji's plan in the Chaotic Sea. 748 750

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Heaven Supporting Tablet — Sacred Artifact recovered by Heaven Inquiry Peak; used extensively by Qin Hai before being destroyed in the Realm Passage. 607 741
• Heaven Inquiry Sacred Sword — Qin-family Sacred Sword recovered from the Soldier's Den; Qin Hai transferred it to Xia Wuji. 607
• High-Grade Heavenly Wind Saint Armor — gifted by Duanmu Qingfeng; enhanced Qin Hai's defense and synergized with his Storm Domain before being shattered in battle. 739 741 748
• Hundred Revolutions Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Pill — personal gift from Guo Fang; restored Qin Hai to peak condition during the Realm Passage battle. 739 748

Relationships

• Xia Wuji — Maternal grandfather; recognizes him as Qin Suyi's son and fiercely supports his cultivation, safety, and mission to rescue Qin Suyi. 595 690
• Qin Suyi — Daughter; her persecution and imprisonment by the Azure Wave Divine Sect are the central cause of Qin Hai's hostility toward the sect. 574 683 690

• Qin Yu — Granddaughter; Qin Hai provides her resources and arranges for her protection during the Azure Wave Divine Sect crisis. 597 739

Story Role / Major Arcs

Heavenly Origin Pool Dispute

Qin Hai defends Heaven Inquiry Peak's claim to the Heavenly Origin Pool. He permits Xia Wuji to complete the final match despite concerns for his safety, destroys an elder who attacks Xia Wuji, and expels the rival peaks after Xia Wuji secures victory. 593 594

Family Recognition and Restoration of Heaven Inquiry Peak

After Xia Wuji reveals that Qin Suyi is his mother, Qin Hai accepts him as his grandson. He gives Xia Wuji resources, supports his cultivation, and begins restoring the Qin family's authority within the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land. 595 597

Sacred Artifact Recovery

Qin Hai supports Xia Wuji's entry into the Soldier's Den to recover the Heaven Inquiry Sacred Sword. When Xia Wuji returns with both the sword and the Heaven Supporting Tablet, Qin Hai uses the artifacts to defeat Shen Cong and strengthen Heaven Inquiry Peak. 603 607

Reclaiming the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land

Following proof that Shen Cong and Zhou Dingtian arranged the Blood Robe Tower's assassination attempt on Xia Wuji, Qin Hai kills both men. He is reinstated as Heavenly Origin Sacred Master, while Qin An becomes Peak Lord of Heaven-Seeking Peak. 695 696

Five Saints Assembly

Qin Hai represents the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land at the Five Saints Assembly, defeats his longtime rival Lin Zhengyang, and publicly supports Xia Wuji when others mock his apparent lack of potential. 679 681 682

When the Azure Wave Divine Sect attempts to control the Middle Domain through a Five Saints Alliance, Qin Hai openly confronts its elder. Though they share the same cultivation level, he maims and defeats the elder using his Storm Domain and the Divine Illumination Technique. 683 684

Realm Passage Defense

To delay the Azure Wave Divine Sect's invasion while Xia Wuji acts in the Chaotic Sea, Qin Hai enters the Realm Passage with Gu Lei. He kills numerous Saint Realm invaders, withstands domain-breaking attacks, and continues fighting after his Sacred Artifact and armor are destroyed. 740 741 742 748

He ultimately counters He Lianchuan's divine technique with Illuminating the Universe, then retreats only after Xia Wuji's success makes continued defense unnecessary. 749 750

Great Saint Breakthrough

The sustained Realm Passage battle allows Qin Hai to fully integrate the Supreme Saint small-world fragment into his Storm Domain. With Xia Wuji's help, he subsequently advances into the Great Saint Realm, gaining the power to secure the Middle Domain against further Azure Wave Divine Sect pressure. 752 760

Trivia

• Source chapters refer to Qin Hai's Qin-family peak as both Heaven Inquiry Peak and Heaven-Seeking Peak. 590 696
• Qin Hai could memorize every variation of Heaven Inquiry Swordplay but never grasped its true essence; Qin Suyi and Xia Wuji were the Qin family's known masters of its deeper meaning. 594
• His Storm Domain's fusion with a Supreme Saint's small-world fragment was a major reason he could endure repeated domain clashes in the Realm Passage. 741 752
