Background / History

Su Qingyan originated from an ancient clan in Chaos. Gifted from childhood, she mastered Time Flow Rate and Space-Time Afterimage techniques early, earning the regard of both her peers and some clan elders. Her original ambition was to master the Origin of Time and establish herself in Chaos. 91

She first encountered Lin Yue while pursuing a Three-Leaf Golden Ganoderma. She rejected his proposal to split the herb and was prepared to fight for sole possession, beginning their relationship as rivals. 29 During their later cultivation competition, Pangu recognized her potential, quietly protected her cave with Chaos Aura, and nourished her foundation. 53

After Pangu completed the Creation of Heaven and Earth by integrating himself into the new world, Su Qingyan and Lin Yue chose to continue onward together. Their former rivalry gradually became a life-and-death partnership. 101

Appearance

Su Qingyan is most often depicted in plain or pure white robes, with long black hair and a composed bearing. Her Law of Time manifests as silver, pale blue, or pale-gold light around her body and fingertips. 385 564 619

• White robes or a plain white dress. 564 619
• Long black hair, at times secured with an Innate Jade hairpin. 564 641
• Temporal Dao Rhyme appears as silver or golden halos, runes, and flowing light. 385 486 620
• Following her Peak Quasi-Saint breakthrough, she carries a calmer, more mature presence. 564

Personality

Initially competitive and unwilling to compromise over cultivation resources, Su Qingyan is driven by a strong desire to improve and avoid falling behind stronger allies or enemies. Her pursuit of independent offensive power—rather than relying solely on Lin Yue—reflects her pride and resolve. 29 186 291

She is also patient in teaching and meticulous in technical work. She critiques Lin Yue's refining frankly, teaches him the Shiyan Step, and repeatedly develops new artifacts and methods to address weaknesses in their group. 73 195 390

As the story progresses, Su Qingyan becomes notably compassionate toward vulnerable groups. She protects Human Clan refugees, aids communities affected by climate disasters, resists forced conversion by the Western Teachings, and shelters remnant Yao Race members at Yue Sheng Palace. 370 426 452 619

Abilities & Skills

Law of Time

Su Qingyan specializes in the Law of Time, emphasizing restraint, disruption, stasis, acceleration, and interference in combat. Her control-oriented approach contrasts with more reversal- and acceleration-focused time practitioners. 394

• Space-Time Flow — Combines Space Acceleration with temporal slowing to restrict a target and create openings for flame attacks. 53
• Time Stasis / Time Stop — Halts or severely slows targets; its duration progressed from a short, limited restraint to eight breaths, then fifteen breaths when supported by the Time Tassel. 180 209 390
• Time Shield / Time Barrier — Creates temporal defenses that slow incoming attacks and can protect herself or allies from Law-based attacks. 316 443
• Time Reversal — Initially used for recovery and restoring non-living objects; later developed into healing for living beings and restoration of damaged treasures and formations. 209 385 486
• Time Shockwave — An offensive ability unlocked through the Time Tassel. 390
• Limitation: High-output temporal techniques can deplete her cultivation, disrupt her Dao Rhyme, and damage her Primordial Spirit. 323 586 591

Temporal Perception and Deduction

Her Law of Time allows her to read temporal fluctuations, detect danger, and derive limited future information.

• Can glimpse events several seconds ahead after reaching Late True Immortal. 108
• Perceives time flow across a thousand-mile radius at Mid Stage Quasi-Saint. 328
• Detected a probable killing formation around the Guixu Platform, though an artifact concealing Heavenly Secrets prevented a full deduction. 287
• Established the Time Warning Array at Green Wind Valley to protect a Human Clan tribe. 369 370
• Uses temporal perception to identify hidden traps, analyze powerful opponents' Law control, and navigate illusion-filled terrain. 186 222 301

Flame and Spacetime Combat Techniques

Her Innate Fire Spirit Physique complements her temporal cultivation, enabling her to combine flame attacks with speed, deception, and crowd control. 53

• Space-Time Afterimages — Creates flame-formed duplicates that confuse opponents and launch weaker flame attacks while Su Qingyan remains concealed among them. 53
• Shiyan Step — Footwork based on the Law of Time that creates a “Minute Time Difference” for evasion and close-range counters; Su Qingyan teaches it to Lin Yue. 195
• Space-Time Flow Sword Technique — Uses the Time Sequence Sword through three forms: Lingering Shadow, Tracing Light, and Instant Kill. 291
• Instant Kill limitation — Requires Time Acceleration and Space Dao Rhyme, consumes substantial energy, and requires roughly half an incense stick of recovery after use. 291
• Has used time manipulation to freeze, age, or regress enemy cultivators during combat and retreats. 315 316 370 619

Artifact Refining and Alchemy

Su Qingyan is a capable artifact refiner who integrates law comprehension into her creations. She also uses alchemy and practical instruction to protect civilians.

• Refined the Red Ribbon from Chaos Silk, Flame Crystals, Space Acceleration Law, and a Flame Knot. 75
• Refined the Phoenix Feather Fan with Lin Yue's guidance, combining fire offense with time control. 242
• Created the Time Tassel independently to increase the reach of her Time Stasis. 390
• Refined Warm Sun Pills to combat extreme cold and taught Human Clan physicians to produce them independently. 452
• Established medical and cultivation teaching systems for the Human Clan, using the Law of Time to help stabilize Dao Foundations and clear meridians. 473 483

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Flame Whip — An early artifact that prompted her deeper interest in artifact refining. 75
• Red Ribbon — Defensive and auxiliary magic tool able to defend, bind, attack, and envelop its user as protection. 75
• Phoenix Feather Fan — Refined from Phoenix Clan materials; launches fire attacks and applies temporal control. 242
• Qing Yan Silk — A ribbon woven from seven-colored Phoenix Clan feathers and Law of Time fragments; can induce Time Stasis and Time Acceleration, form a time cage, and resist a full-power Mid Stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal strike. 285
• Pangu Banner Replica — Supports offensive Time Dao Rhyme and can be used to break laws. 285 286
• Time Sequence Sword — A temporal-patterned sword forged by Lin Yue for Su Qingyan's Space-Time Flow Sword Technique. 291
• Rhyme Gathering Tassel — Attached to the Time Sequence Sword to address her spiritual-energy consumption. 291
• Time Tassel — Spiritual Treasure refined from Innate Time Wood, Innate Spiritual Liquid, Chaos Golden Sand, and Star Essence Spirit; extends Time Stasis to fifteen breaths and enables Time Shockwave. 390
• Heavenly Mystery Compass — Used for temporal deduction, though its needle was damaged when the demon clan concealed Heavenly Secrets around Guixu Platform. 287

Relationships

• Lin Yue — Former rival over the Three-Leaf Golden Ganoderma who became her closest partner and Dao companion. They cultivate, refine artifacts, teach one another, and fight in coordinated spacetime combinations. 29 101 285 482
• Pangu — Recognized Su Qingyan's potential, guarded her early cultivation with Chaos Aura, and advised her to prioritize survival before pursuing greater Law mastery. 53 91
• Primordial Lord of Heaven — Her master at the Three Pure Ones Dojo; bestowed the Jade Pure Time Secret Manual and Jade Pure Enlightenment Talisman. 209
