Background / History
Meng Qi is a Reincarnator connected to the Lord of the Six Paths. He cultivates the Six Paths’ Eight-Nine Arcane Arts and receives inheritances linked to Primordial Heavenly Venerate through Immortal Traces, but the contracts on these inheritances initially prevent him from freely passing them on. 948
Upon entering the Divine Capital, he returns to the Su family as Su Ziyuan, the illegitimate second son of Divine Might Marquis Su Li. Meng Qi has no memories of the original body’s childhood and finds the family’s internal power struggles burdensome, especially the hostility of Su Li’s wife, Ke Weilan. 952 953
At the Xingyun Banquet, Meng Qi notices Tao Yu’s unusual interest in him and instinctively feels alarmed. Their subsequent conversation reveals that both know works from the Yang Shen setting and may be fellow transmigrators from similar eras. 946 948 Tao Yu identifies Meng Qi as a Reincarnator, offers cultivation exchanges, and later teaches him the Primordial Six Seals through a true-meaning jade slip. 948 950
Tao Yu’s guidance and resources accelerate Meng Qi’s progress. After opening his nine apertures, he becomes the foremost figure on the Human Rankings and earns a reputation for using Saber Intent to defeat challengers without drawing his saber. 950 952 953
After becoming a Dharma Body, Meng Qi investigates the Investiture of the Gods to free his former Reincarnator companions from the Six Paths’ control. He later learns that he is the Golden Emperor’s son and that his memories may have been fabricated, leaving him shaken by his identity and the vast cruelty of the Abyss. 1079 1096
Personality
Meng Qi is cautious, perceptive, and highly adaptable. He conceals sensitive information about the Six Paths when questioned by outsiders, yet responds quickly when Tao Yu exposes his Reincarnator identity and Primordial Heavenly Venerate lineage. 946 948
Despite his “Mad Saber” title, he values friendship and personal responsibility. His determination to free Jiang Zhiwei, Ruan Yushu, and Zhao Heng from the Investiture of the Gods drives him into increasingly dangerous negotiations and conflicts. 1079
He rejects philosophies that erase human emotion for the sake of peace or fulfilled desire. During his assault on the Pure Land on Earth, he condemns the Buddhist kingdom’s attempt to remove suffering by removing all desire. 1091

- The Dao Yi Seal gives him a foundation in the Cause of All Fruits and enables karma-reversal methods. 1080

Saber Arts
Meng Qi is a saber specialist whose title, “Mad Saber,” remains attached to him even after becoming a Dharma Body.
- Uses Saber Intent and the artistic conception of Unity of Heaven and Man to repel challengers from a distance. 953

- Uses the blade to extinguish Randeng’s lamp wick and help suppress Randeng’s remaining power. 1091
