Background / History

Youming is an ancient being who had remained in the Primordial World since its beginning and personally witnessed Pangu's creation of heaven and earth. Despite her Dark Night Clan origin, she developed deep admiration for Pangu. 344 458

She was sent to the Primordial World to seize its origin power for the Dark Night Clan. Rather than act openly, she used the Heavenly Dao as a pawn to disrupt the world's order and prepared to take its origin once the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos merged and the Great Dao reappeared. 327 329

Her initial operation failed after Xuanyuan became involved. While confronting him at Qianyuan Mountain, she secretly warned him about Ming Jue, a Dark Night Clan disciple who had arrived to replace her and seize the Primordial World's power himself. 333

Ming Jue controlled Youming through the Soul Devouring Bell, reducing her to a weapon against Xuanyuan. Her essence blood was later drained by the Youming Divine Sword, leaving her with less than a tenth of her strength and unable to safely leave Qianyuan Mountain. 334 340

Appearance

Youming is repeatedly noted for extraordinary beauty and a dangerous, enchanting presence. She has appeared in white robes while weakened in the Primordial World and in black robes while traveling through the Chaos Void. 340 344 400

• Pale complexion when heavily injured or drained of strength. 340 344
• Cold, sharp eyes that retain authority even while weakened. 344 400
• A disarming charm capable of unsettling even cultivators with strong Dao hearts. 340
• Commonly carries a dagger and, later, a purple whip. 332 411

Personality

Youming is strong-willed, ambitious, and exceptionally calculating. Her determination to seek freedom from the Dark Night Clan kept her from pursuing status through dependence on the clan's young patriarch, even when doing so would have made her life easier. 341

Initially arrogant and willing to manipulate the Heavenly Dao for her mission, she remains cautious and pragmatic after her defeat. She offers Xuanyuan valuable knowledge only when cooperation becomes the best route to survival, then accepts the restrictive terms of his Great Dao Contract. 327 341 342

She can be ruthless when confronting those tied to her past. Her former fellow disciples Huiyuan and Huimiao fear her deeply because of her resentment over their role in the fate of the Creation Ancient Buddha. 376

After joining Xuanyuan, Youming becomes more considerate and emotionally open. She tends Shenni's injuries, is disturbed by the slaughter of ordinary mortals, repeatedly worries for Xuanyuan's safety, and commits herself to standing with him against the Dark Night Clan. 408 458 481
