Gongsun Haoyue

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Gongsun Haoyue led the Star Moon Sect during its long hostility with the Flowing Cloud Sect. She and the Flowing Cloud Matriarch privately negotiated a joint plan, entered seclusion at the same time, and introduced new cultivation methods for their true disciples. Their arrangement preserved an outwardly hostile relationship while beginning practical cooperation between the sects. 275

The sects' feud had continued for nearly a thousand years, with successive generations inheriting grievances from relatives and teachers killed by the opposing side. Neither Gongsun Haoyue nor Flowing Cloud Matriarch had lost her master or a true inheritor disciple to the other, making reconciliation more practicable under their leadership. Gongsun Haoyue succeeded her own master as sect leader after the latter's death. 620 979

As sect master, she investigated threats to her sect and the wider cultivation world. She unsuccessfully tracked Lu Tianheng's movements after learning that he was likely connected to the poisoning and abduction of Grandmasters. She also questioned the direction of the Star Cloud Saint Art and the difficulty of reaching the Saint Realm. 395 418

Her cooperation with Flowing Cloud Matriarch eventually expanded into sect integration. Gongsun Haoyue oversaw the strengthening of Grandmaster elders with Star Power, considered a marriage alliance between Jiang Liu and her sect's true inheritor disciples, and later agreed to marry Jiang Liu herself to help unite their factions against threats such as Blood Demon Island and the Halls of Yama. 413 416 620 621

Her original marriage candidates were Chu Heyu, Chen Yuwen, and Zheng Yunxiu. She preferred Chu Heyu or Chen Yuwen, remaining wary of Zheng Yunxiu's aristocratic family connections. When she later agreed to become the bride herself, she personally explained the alliance's purpose to Murong Yin and Feng Yue and obtained their agreement. 414 416 621 622

She acted decisively against internal betrayal. After Yun He implicated Yun Xian in disloyal activity, Gongsun Haoyue convened the Council Great Hall, ordered the suspects brought in, and crippled Yun He by burning her dantian. She explained that Yun He's earlier assignment to guard the Back Mountain had already been an opportunity to reform. 630

Following the merger of the Star Moon Sect and Flowing Cloud Sect into the Star Cloud Saint Sect, Gongsun Haoyue continued to retain considerable influence despite increasingly accompanying Jiang Liu in pacifying outside threats. During the Human Realm's crisis, she also took responsibility for leading the Political Affairs Hall and other forces against external enemies. 874 1067

She and Flowing Cloud Matriarch later purged unruly elders from the merged sect, breaking down its lingering division into former Star Moon and Flowing Cloud factions. Their improved personal relationship reinforced the sect's integration. 877

After the group relocated to the Chaos Space, Flowing Cloud Matriarch handled most routine Star Cloud Saint Sect affairs, while Gongsun Haoyue focused more on cultivation, the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, and protecting those close to her. 2218

She nevertheless remained an important decision-maker during Jiang Liu's absences, particularly in matters among his wives. Her experience in sect leadership and responsibility for the entire Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation sustained her authority within the household. 2563

Appearance

After attaining the Saint Realm, Gongsun Haoyue is described as ethereal and goddess-like, with exceptionally youthful skin and an appearance that seems more radiant than before. Her fire-aspected Primal Qi manifests as a faint red glow around her body. 788 874 2107

• While wielding the Skyfire Staff above the battlefield, she is compared to a goddess descending to the mortal world, with windblown robes and a cold, stern expression. 763
• Cultivating the Joyous Meditation Art with Jiang Liu makes her features appear particularly radiant even before her physical Saint Realm advancement. 788
• Her beauty remains noticeable even when injured and disheveled in the Abyssal Hell. 885
• Her Saint Realm breakthrough greatly enhances her youthful appearance. 874
• Her God Realm breakthrough further restores a youthful, beautiful appearance, though she initially struggles to suppress her aura. This gives her an especially noble and mysterious presence. 2110

Personality

Gongsun Haoyue is a cautious and politically minded leader. She distrusts unexplained changes in allies' behavior, scrutinizes cultivation methods for hidden implications, and considers her sect's interests even while pursuing cooperation with former enemies. 395 418

Her caution extends to cultivation opportunities. Even when the Essence in Gongliang Bo's Mystic Realm greatly accelerates her cultivation, she remains suspicious of unexplained advantages, believing that benefits rarely come without drawbacks. 676

She is decisive when loyalty is at stake, but not indifferent to those close to her. Yun Qi had helped raise her, and Gongsun Haoyue mourns her decline and personally buries her after Yun Qi accepts responsibility for her actions. 630 1011

Her devotion to Jiang Liu is central to her later actions. She risks her Spirit Sea to save him during his mental-power breakthrough, pushes through her own mental-power advancement by holding onto her conviction in him, and exposes herself to Dark Primal Qi to revive him in the Abyssal Hell. 683 789 882

Although she originally expected her marriage to Jiang Liu to remain largely nominal, she gradually falls deeply in love with him. Her growing attachment surprises her, and she comes to treasure their rare periods of peaceful companionship. Despite their established marriage, she remains bashful about public displays of intimacy. 667 698 1514 2110

Despite her closeness to Jiang Liu, she can be competitive and jealous, particularly toward Flowing Cloud Matriarch and Jiang Liu's other partners. She later works to ease conflict among them, including defusing Han Yi's initial hostility. 707 825 885

As one of Jiang Liu's formally wedded wives and the senior, highly respected woman among his partners, she is trusted to calm and guide the others during periods of uncertainty. 2147

Her desire to accompany Jiang Liu does not override her judgment of danger. After witnessing his manipulation of a wisp of her soul and learning that even his strength remains insufficient against many True Realm enemies, she sets aside her wish to follow him there and renews her cultivation efforts. 2561

Abilities & Skills

Star Cloud Saint Art

Gongsun Haoyue's primary cultivation art, used for combat, healing support, body refinement, and the manipulation of fire-aspected Primal Qi. 416 788 882

• Strengthens Grandmasters' bodies through Star Power alongside Yuchi Yue. 413
• Recognizes that collective cultivation improves enhanced body tempering and arranges for Grandmasters to gather rather than draw in Star Power separately. 415

• Her Celestial Fire is less effective in environments that severely hinder fire-aspected combat, requiring Jiang Liu's assistance against a Beast Emperor-level Exotic Beast. 690

Divine Sense and Mental Techniques

Gongsun Haoyue possesses notable aptitude for mental attacks and Spirit Soul-related techniques.

• Subdues the weak soul within the Treasure Pagoda shortly after receiving it from Jiang Liu. The refined pagoda gives her access to mental attacks as well as protection against them. 675
• Uses Divine Sense to probe Jiang Liu's Spirit Sea, then expends much of her spiritual power trying to save him from a mental crisis. 683
• Learns the Spirit Control Art and gains the ability to use it freely after her Divine Sense increases. 904 911

• Experiences a significant increase in spiritual power after Jiang Liu awakens her from an illusion with flute music. 1973
• Her Spirit Soul is later connected to the Yin-Yang Rings' consciousness, strengthening both the formation's controller and her own mental power. Jiang Liu identifies his soul aura as the immediate cause of her unexpected advancement. 2561 2562

Healing and Support

Gongsun Haoyue has a special Heavenly Fire physique capable of saving Jiang Liu when ordinary Primal Qi assistance fails. This constitution is also incompatible with cultivating the Saintly Sky Art herself. 546 896

• Diagnoses Jiang Liu's critical injuries from Duanmu Haotian's five-colored light and takes him to her residence for treatment. 546
• Uses her special physique to begin saving him after Flowing Cloud Matriarch misunderstands her method. 546
• The Haotian Phantom's attacks are comparatively ineffective against her, despite severely injuring Jiang Liu. 546
• Restarts Jiang Liu's Star Cloud Saint Art circulation on Glacier Snow Mountain despite absorbing Dark Primal Qi from the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence. 882
• Resists the pain of Jiang Liu purging Dark Primal Qi from her Spirit Sea rather than retreating from the treatment. 883 886

Joyous Meditation Art

Gongsun Haoyue cultivates the Joyous Meditation Art with Jiang Liu after he transforms the Yin-Yang Union Art into a method beneficial to both partners. She initially doubts his explanation but agrees to practice it with him. 781

• Accelerates her cultivation and nourishes her body. 788
• Hastens her physical evolution toward a Saint Body, complementing the Voidmetal Talisman's fusion of Primal Qi and spiritual power. 809
• Joint cultivation involving Gongsun Haoyue, Jiang Liu, and Flowing Cloud Matriarch helps dissipate the hostility between the two former sect rivals. 877

Combat Experience and Saint Realm Applications

• Possesses extensive experience fighting powerful opponents, acquired through the life-and-death conflicts among the Star Moon Sect, Flowing Cloud Sect, and Haotian Sect. Jiang Liu benefits from exchanging martial insights and sparring with her despite his greater strength. 697
• Regularly discusses techniques and coordinated fighting with Jiang Liu so that they can better support each other in dangerous situations. 790
• After attaining the Saint Realm, briefly freezes the space around Jiang Liu before embracing him; he recognizes her action and deliberately does not resist. 874

Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation Control

Gongsun Haoyue becomes one of the formation's principal operators.

• Helps Jiang Liu choose Silent Valley north of Qian City as the formation's future location. 703
• Learns Spirit Control Art specifically so she can control the formation when Jiang Liu is absent. 904
• Imprints her Divine Sense on the Ruyi Celestial Palace, Half-Origin Celestial Pearl, and Yin-Yang Rings, forming a spiritual connection with Jiang Liu through the formation. 911
• Can jointly activate the formation's time acceleration with Jiang Liu; after becoming an operator, she can maintain its maximum one-to-twelve time-flow ratio in his absence. 912
• Leaves spiritual imprints alongside Flowing Cloud Matriarch to assist in controlling the formation after Jiang Liu moves Silent Valley inside it. 1018
• Takes responsibility for the formation after Jiang Liu leaves the Human Realm and receives urgent outside communications through it. 1287
• Detects Jiang Liu's returning aura before he enters the formation. 1965

• Continues to control the entire formation during Jiang Liu's absences, making its management one of her central contributions to the group. 2563

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Skyfire Staff (earlier weapon) — Her primary weapon before receiving a Divine Artifact replacement; used to project large flames, create a flame giant, and contend with powerful energy attacks. 543 649 763
• Skyfire Staff (Divine Artifact) — A new Divine Artifact given to her by Jiang Liu. Even before activation, it emits powerful burning energy and is many times stronger than her previous staff. Its Artifact Spirit can further enhance its power. 1305
• Treasure Pagoda — Given to her by Jiang Liu after he discovers a soul within it capable of mental attacks; she quickly subdues the soul. The pagoda can block mental attacks and emit protective light around her body. 675
• Voidmetal Talisman — One of three talismans Jiang Liu forges from Void Iron, with the others given to Murong Yin and Feng Yue. It resides in her spiritual sea, conceals her aura, protects her spiritual sea, and can be used to attack another person's sea of consciousness. It also accelerates the fusion of Primal Qi and mental power before her Saint Realm breakthrough and continuously strengthens her Soul Force, significantly assisting her God Realm advancement. 780 809 2110
• Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation control tokens — Her access tokens are reforged after Jiang Liu creates a stronger version of the formation. 2094

Relationships

• Jiang Liu — Husband and cultivation partner. She repeatedly risks herself to protect or heal him, while he safeguards her breakthroughs and treats her injuries. What begins as a political marriage develops into a deeply affectionate relationship. 683 874 882 2147 She initially expects only the appearance of marriage but becomes increasingly attached to him; Flowing Cloud Matriarch later privately perceives his feelings for Gongsun Haoyue as especially deep because of their repeated life-and-death experiences together. 667 909
• Flowing Cloud Matriarch — Former sect rival and long-term competitor. Their cooperation develops into an alliance, joint breakthrough effort, and shared defense of their people. Although their longstanding rivalry leaves them competitive, their old grievances eventually fade. 275 630 909 2107 Flowing Cloud Matriarch first suggests Gongsun Haoyue's marriage to Jiang Liu partly as a joke and an attempt to gain an advantage in their rivalry, only to be surprised when she agrees. They later cultivate together and jointly suppress factional opposition within the merged sect. 556 621 877
• Murong Yin and Feng Yue — Fellow wives of Jiang Liu. Gongsun Haoyue seeks their consent before her marriage alliance, and both support it partly because she can protect him during dangerous expeditions. Their later relationship is harmonious; both express sincere concern after her unexpected mental-power advancement. 621 622 708 2563
• Han Yi — Initially meet with mutual wariness because of their connections to Jiang Liu. Gongsun Haoyue openly explains her circumstances, easing Han Yi's hostility; the two later travel together and report their observations of the Abyssal Hell's sea region to Jiang Liu. 885 1009 Han Yi cares for her food and drink while she is injured, and their subsequent reunion is warm and affectionate. 885 960
• Yun Cheng — Elder who raised Gongsun Haoyue; Gongsun Haoyue is deeply attached to her and personally protects her during breakthroughs. 2218
• Yun Qi — Her martial aunt and childhood caretaker. Gongsun Haoyue is saddened by Yun Qi's betrayal and decline, then buries her after her death. 1011
• Yun He — Sect member punished by Gongsun Haoyue after her betrayal is exposed. Gongsun Haoyue burns her dantian after concluding that an earlier opportunity to reform has been wasted. 630
• Chu Heyu, Chen Yuwen, and Zheng Yunxiu — Star Moon Sect true inheritor disciples considered for the marriage alliance with Jiang Liu. Gongsun Haoyue particularly dotes on Chen Yuwen despite her boisterous temperament, while remaining cautious toward Zheng Yunxiu because of her family connections and difficult-to-read character. 414 416

Story Role / Major Arcs

Star Moon Sect Leadership

Gongsun Haoyue directs the Star Moon Sect's response to political and cultivation threats, investigates Lu Tianheng's activities, and begins cautious cooperation with Flowing Cloud Matriarch. She later supports the integration of their sects and accepts a marriage alliance with Jiang Liu as a means of securing unity. 275 395 620 621

During the investigation of Lu Tianheng, she and Flowing Cloud Matriarch travel to the imperial capital to demand an explanation from the Great Qian Imperial Family and enlist Dao Fan Shangren's assistance. Gongsun Haoyue refuses to promise that Lu Tianheng will be surrendered to the imperial family after his capture. 456

Imperial City Battle

During the Imperial City conflict, she joins Flowing Cloud Matriarch in preventing Dao Fan Shangren from aiding Jiang Zongquan. When Jiang Liu is critically wounded by five-colored light, she determines that normal treatment will fail and uses her special physique to save him. 533 546

She discovers that the light is destroying his meridians and spreading toward his dantian, then carries him to the Star Moon Sect's base in Sky City. With Flowing Cloud Matriarch assisting, she circulates the Star Cloud Saint Art and begins treatment through close physical contact. 546

Medicine King Valley and Overseas Campaigns

Gongsun Haoyue accompanies Jiang Liu to investigate an ambiguous warning from Medicine King Valley. Their inquiries in Gu Prefecture uncover unfamiliar martial artists in the Thousand Leaf Mountain Range and the replacement of the valley's apothecary staff. She subsequently fights Gongliang Yi during the campaign against the Great Qian Imperial Family's remnants. 645 647

She later accompanies Jiang Liu in pursuing the Fifth Judge Palace and Assassin Alliance. Her reading of the Record of Strange Tales and Miscellanea helps identify the Source of the Netherworld as a possible connection to Abyssal Hell. After their disguises are exposed on the Assassin Alliance's island, they capture pursuers and strike its headquarters before reinforcements can assemble. 726 737 759

Mystic Realm and Mental Crisis

Inside Gongliang Bo's Mystic Realm, she receives the Treasure Pagoda and cultivates beside Jiang Liu. When his mental power advances dangerously, she probes his Spirit Sea and drains her own spiritual power attempting to save him, leaving her unconscious and injured. 675 683

Her intervention rouses him from his illusion. After his breakthrough, Jiang Liu finds her consciousness avatar trembling within her depleted spiritual sea and uses the Star Cloud Saint Art to revive her. 683

Saint Realm Advancement

After suppressing her impending breakthrough because of the Heavenly Dao's attention, Gongsun Haoyue advances within the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation. She independently completes the fusion of Primal Qi and mental power while Jiang Liu blocks the Heavenly Dao's intrusions, allowing her to survive the lightning baptism and attain the Saint Realm. 871 872 873 874

Her preparations include cultivating the Joyous Meditation Art and using the Voidmetal Talisman to accelerate bodily refinement and the fusion of her powers. Upon completing the breakthrough, she is overjoyed that her extended lifespan will allow her to spend several hundred more years with Jiang Liu. 809 874

Abyssal Hell Expedition

Gongsun Haoyue accompanies Jiang Liu into the Abyssal Hell, where Dark Primal Qi rapidly threatens to corrupt her. She later finds Jiang Liu severely wounded on Glacier Snow Mountain and risks further contamination by gathering tainted Essence to reactivate his Star Cloud Saint Art circulation. 879 882 883

Although Jiang Liu purifies the Dark Primal Qi in her meridians, contamination remains deeply entangled in her spiritual sea, restricting her Divine Sense and slowing her energy circulation. She insists that he recover fully before treating this more dangerous injury. During the wait, she resolves her initial hostility with Han Yi, who helps care for her. 883 885 886

Jiang Liu later determines that her Heavenly Fire constitution prevents her from learning the Saintly Sky Art herself, ruling out that method of independently purifying the contamination. 896

Recovery from Heavenly Dao Corruption

After protecting Jiang Liu from an attack, Gongsun Haoyue falls unconscious with chaotic Primal Qi and lingering Heavenly Dao consciousness within her. Jiang Liu removes the residual consciousness and transfers his understanding of Spirit Control Art into her soul, enabling her to recover and better control the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation. 909 910 911

Flowing Cloud Matriarch plays a direct role in rousing her: the stronger Star Cloud Saint Art energy of the newly advanced Matriarch stimulates Gongsun Haoyue's otherwise unresponsive energy circulation. Her awakening then exposes the remnant Heavenly Dao consciousness. 909

Demon Race War

In the war against the Demon Race, Gongsun Haoyue is seriously injured by Elder Che shortly after he enters the Human Realm. After stabilizing herself, she attacks him with Celestial Fire while Han Luo, Dongyang Yi, and Dongyang He restrict his escape. Her intervention helps exhaust Elder Che's Primal Qi and turn the engagement into a coordinated encirclement. 1081

Before her return to battle, Jiang Liu purges Dark Primal Qi from her body and uses Spirit Control Art to draw the remaining contamination out of her sea of consciousness. Nether Demon Lord interrupts the treatment, forcing their Exotic Beast companions to intervene. 1079

After the war, she mourns the Fire Dragon, Three-Eyed Flying Tiger, Frostwing Dragon, and Giant Strength Demonic Ape, knowing that they died while helping save her. 1105

Human Realm Crisis

After Jiang Liu leaves the Human Realm, Gongsun Haoyue operates the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation and mobilizes with Flowing Cloud Matriarch, Han Yi, and Han Yue in response to an urgent threat in Yun Province. The four women subsequently disappear during their attempt to address the Demonic Qi crisis. 1287 1291

They are trapped beneath a cliff, where Han Yi and Han Yue help the other two resist the Demonic Qi. Gongsun Haoyue urges the despairing Flowing Cloud Matriarch to endure and trust Jiang Liu. He eventually breaks through the trapping formation and purifies the Demonic Qi within both women, rescuing them before they share the fate of the dead Wind Hall members nearby. 1294

Relocation to the God Realm

Gongsun Haoyue joins the group accompanying Jiang Liu to the God Realm from within the shrunken Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation. Once the Saint Artifact Spaceship leaves the Human Realm, the formation loses its outside Essence supply, and its inhabitants attempt to replenish it with essence stones. 1392

Her cultivation continues to improve in the God Realm, supported by resources and the formation's environment. By Jiang Liu's later return, she has attained the fourth order of the Saint Realm and remains sensitive enough to the formation to meet him before he enters. 1385 1965

God Realm Breakthrough

After cultivating in the God Realm and reaching the Saint Realm's fourth order, Gongsun Haoyue breaks through to the God Realm alongside Flowing Cloud Matriarch. Her deeper accumulation allows her to stabilize the new realm before Flowing Cloud Matriarch. 1965 2107 2109

Jiang Liu subsequently discovers that her Voidmetal Talisman has continuously increased her Soul Force and contributed to her progress. She returns to the other women with a noticeably rejuvenated appearance and shares her breakthrough experience with them. 2110

Formation's New Spirit Soul

When Jiang Liu makes the Yin-Yang Rings' consciousness the new controlling Spirit Soul of the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation, Gongsun Haoyue's linked Spirit Soul benefits unexpectedly. Her mental power rises another level, after which she resumes familiarizing herself with the reconfigured formation. 2561 2562

Jiang Liu confirms that the advancement has left her unharmed and that her spiritual power is more condensed. He explains that his soul aura unintentionally caused the breakthrough but warns against relying on such shortcuts, declining to repeat the method for the others because their internal conditions differ. Gongsun Haoyue explains the fortunate occurrence to her sisters, whose initial curiosity and jealousy give way to concern for her well-being. 2562 2563

The episode also emphasizes her continuing leadership in Jiang Liu's absence: she manages matters among the women and remains responsible for the Heaven-Veiling Grand Formation. 2563
