Background

Primordial Heavenly Venerate is one of the Three Pure Ones whose domain is the Pure Subtle Heaven on Mount Kunlun, where Beginning Qi manifests alongside a Jade Ruyi Scepter. 1

He pursues the source laws of immortals and gods, using his own Dao to develop authorities and god positions. His Primordial Nine Energies can create fruit positions comparable to the Four Imperials, including Great Emperor Qinghua of the East Pole and Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole. 99 112

His ultimate ambition is not merely to “expound Heaven” or enforce the Heavenly Dao. Through the Heaven-Opening Seal, he seeks to analyze Heaven’s rules, replace old rules with new ones, reverse-prove Pangu, and ultimately take Pangu’s place. 116 165

Appearance

Primordial Heavenly Venerate presents himself with deliberate Sage-like grandeur. When attending the Divine Music Convention, he arrives seated on the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage amid golden lotuses, auspicious light, purple qi, and overwhelming Heavenly Dao might. 231

• Rides the Nine Dragon Agarwood Carriage. 231
• Is attended by disciples such as Guang Chengzi, who bears the Golden Bell. 231
• His presence is accompanied by golden lotuses, auspicious radiance, and Sage might. 231

Personality

Primordial Heavenly Venerate is a long-term strategist who treats major events, sectarian conflicts, cultivation inheritances, and divine offices as components of a larger plan. He began preparing for future tribulations before their tribulation qi had fully gathered, and repeatedly acts to preserve or restore the Great Trend of the Heavenly Dao. 224 321

He is highly possessive of authority and prestige. He reprimands True Person Yuding for studying the Heaven Intercepting Nine Swords, seeks to consolidate the Exposition Sect’s fortune through disciples and Human Dao arrangements, and is angered when others disrupt his intended control over the Heavenly Court. 164 301 351

His view of Xuan Yin is conflicted: he resents Xuan Yin for repeatedly disrupting the Heavenly Dao’s established trend, yet recognizes Xuan Yin’s comprehension and has considered him a possible inheritor of the Yuanshi Dao Fruit. 287
