Background
Long Ling was originally a Kui Water Spirit Dragon born from a fragment of the shattered Source of All Water. Her incomplete origin would eventually have hindered her cultivation, prompting Luo Qing to prepare her transformation into a water-attributed Innate Sacred Being 256.
She arrived alongside the Kui Water Divine Thunder and became Luo Qing's second Direct Disciple. Clever and affectionate, she quickly grew close to Xuan Nü, Yan Sheng, and Fairy Xihua, while Yan Sheng took responsibility for looking after his new junior sister 167.
Luo Qing repeatedly restrained her cultivation before she reached the Grand Luo realm so that she could revert to innate more easily. During Hua Tian World's ascension, he supplied a Water Source Divine Position, a Water Element Emperor Position Dharma Form, and a divine-body construction method; Long Ling successfully condensed the Dharma Form seed and gained the foundation for sacred transformation 256.
Her bond with the Canghai Sea further strengthened that foundation. As a spirit dragon born from a Canghai fragment, she answered the call of the East Sea, worked with Water Spirit Holy Mother to gather the Canghai Origin from the Four Seas, and merged with it. By doing so, she united two Innate Sacred Being origins within herself 344 345 348.
Appearance
Long Ling first appears as a cute, tender little dragon girl with a youthful, childlike bearing. Her eyes are described as clear as the blue sea, reflecting her water-aligned origin and pure disposition 167 185.
- Her true form is a Kui Water Spirit Dragon; she can transform into a Water Dragon and travel through the deep seas 344.
- She possesses dragon claws, which she used mischievously to pinch Kong Xuan's cheeks 214.
- Her sacred aura deepened substantially after merging with the Canghai Origin 348.
Personality
Long Ling is devoted to Luo Qing and treats his instructions as absolute. Even when assigned difficult tasks—such as commanding Hua Tian Peak during his absence or overseeing the reordering of the Primordial World's water veins—she accepts them without hesitation 432 566.
Her early innocence does not prevent her from making hard decisions. She rejects the Demon Race's recruitment efforts with open disdain, is willing to set aside personal ties for Hua Tian Peak's interests, and leads the Northern Domain campaign with decisive force when negotiation fails 214 842 583.
She is also considerate toward those close to her. When offered the chance to improve her innate foundation, she first asked Luo Qing to give it to Yan Sheng instead, believing her senior brother needed it more 256. Around younger disciples and Mo Luo, she can be teasing, affectionate, and openly curious 1491 1492.
Abilities & Skills
Water Spirit Great Dao
Long Ling's inherent path is the Water Spirit Great Dao, rooted in her identity as a Kui Water Spirit Dragon and strengthened by her merger with the Canghai Origin 256 348.

- Her choice followed the same path used by Luo Qing and Huang Ting 348.
- The method allows concurrent cultivation of the Innate Divine Path 559.
- Her deep foundation and sacred origin made her suited to this method, though its later Primordial Chaos cultivation progress proved extremely slow 348 1391.
Innate Divine Path
Luo Qing taught Long Ling the Innate Divine Path and directed her to pursue the Water Spirit Dao Lord position 559.
- Her divine cultivation immediately rose to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm after beginning the method 559.
- She later merged with the Divine Mother position through the Qian Kun Position Chart 1407.
- As Divine Mother, she governs the Central Heaven Realm's Divine Path framework and releases divine positions in stages to preserve future advancement opportunities 1475.
- Her Divine Mother realm depends heavily on the Qian Kun Position Chart; Luo Qing warned her to continue strengthening her personal cultivation rather than rely solely on the position 1407.
Artifact Forging
Long Ling is Luo Qing's foremost successor in artifact forging. He considered her the first disciple capable of inheriting this part of his legacy 561.
- Forged the Sea-Adjusting Token, the core treasure designed to distribute Canghai water power and prevent floods 561.
- Forged the Sea-Calming Divine Needle Iron and Canghai Cloud Sail, completing the Canghai Three Treasures 561.

Qian Kun Position Chart
The Qian Kun Position Chart is Long Ling's defining supreme treasure and the foundation of her authority over the Central Heaven Realm 635 1407.
- Used it to purify Corrupting Qi in the Hua Tian Universe and regulate excess spiritual energy 645.
- Refined it with the Canghai Origin, incorporating the East, West, and South Seas into its reflected world-map 726 728.
- Was sealed alongside Long Ling by the Demon-Suppressing Grand Array, demonstrating that even the chart could be restrained by a sufficiently powerful formation 1279.
- Reclaimed and fully refined its enlarged core during the Primordial Era Universe's transformation 1394.
- Elevated it into a Primordial Violet Supreme Treasure and used it to merge with the Divine Mother position 1407.
- Absorbed all Heaven Realms into its divine system, adding more than a thousand Quasi-Saint and forty thousand Grand Luo Golden Immortal divine positions 1558.
Combat
Long Ling combines powerful spiritual treasures, water-aligned sword techniques, and decisive battlefield judgment.
- Captured Zhao Gongming, Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao using the Sea-Calming Pearl 404.
- Possesses thirty-six Sea-Calming Pearls, which provide strong offense but originally left her comparatively lacking in defense 407.
- Used the Creation Green Lotus and her six water swords to assault Quasi-Sages alone during the Eastern Domain conflict 605.
- Captured True Spirit Old Ancestor and Old Ancestor Lingxu rather than killing them, while deliberately declining to pursue a lengthy battle against Old Ancestor Minghe 606.
- Defeated multiple Quasi-Sages while protecting the gravely wounded Red Cloud Daoist 412.
- Defended the nine Origin Stars from a hidden Quasi-Saint, allowing the attacker to escape only after securing the stars' safety 842.

Story Role / Major Arcs
Five Colors Human Race Relocation
Luo Qing sent Long Ling and Yan Sheng on their first independent long-distance mission: relocating the Five Colors Human Race to the Hua Tian Immortal Realm. To protect her during the journey, Luo Qing gave her the subdued Bi Fang Bird as a mount and forged Cave Heaven bracelets for transporting migrants 251 252.
Canghai Origin
Long Ling answered the Canghai's call from the East Sea, negotiated with Water Spirit Holy Mother, and gathered the origin of the Four Seas. The completed merger made her sacred aura comparable to Huang Ting's and greatly strengthened her prospects for Sainthood 344 345 348.
Red Cloud's Rescue
Together with Huang Ting, Long Ling accepted Luo Qing's order to rescue Red Cloud Daoist from cultivators pursuing his Primordial Violet Qi. She later demonstrated her Mid Quasi-Sage strength by breaking the Eastern Desolation Five Sages' pursuit and escorting Red Cloud to safety 407 412.
Head of Hua Tian Peak
Before departing to confront Chaos God-Demons, Luo Qing named Long Ling Hua Tian Peak's acting leader and assigned her a central role in steering the Witch-Demon conflict toward mutual destruction. He also granted her authority to kill Fairy Zi Guang if she endangered Hua Tian Peak's plan 432.
Reordering Mountains and Water Veins
Long Ling organized Kunlun Mountain cultivators, secured support from the Three Teachings, and led millions of Immortals and Gods in reworking the Northern Domain's rivers and water veins 574 575. Her forces excavated Yunmeng Marsh, subdued resistance, carved three super-rivers into Buzhou Mountain, and resolved the north's water crisis over five hundred years 579 583.
She then led the successful Western Water Vein development, connecting it to Buzhou Mountain with minimal casualties 592.
Attaining Sainthood
As Luo Qing's first disciple to reach the threshold of Sainthood, Long Ling underwent her tribulation near Kunlun Mountain under the observation of the Primordial World's Saints.

Divine Mother of the Central Heaven Realm
Following the Primordial Era Universe's promotion to the Primordial Violet Universe, Long Ling completely refined the Qian Kun Position Chart and became the Divine Mother of the Central Heaven Realm 1407. She later expanded its divine system across all Heaven Realms, using diplomacy and Primordial Chaos Immortal Spiritual Grass to negotiate for sovereign positions rather than simply seize them by force 1557 1558.
