Background / History

The Supreme Hongmeng Ranking reveals that Yuan Feng, First Qilin, and Ancestral Dragon—beings believed dead—are alive as Taichu's attendants. Beast Emperor Shen Ni, formerly suppressed, serves as his guard. Hongmeng Palace possesses the Chaos Nine-Colored Lamp, while Taichu receives a strand of Chaos Origin as a ranking reward 6.

Taichu later assigns Luo Hu to manage the Demon God Arena after Luo Hu's dojo is destroyed. Ancestral Dragon, Yuan Feng, and First Qilin must accept the order despite their objections 197.

As his cultivation advances, Taichu repeatedly seeks ancient inheritances, cultivation methods, and stronger opponents. His pursuit of strength eventually becomes tied to protecting the human realm and maintaining the balance of the Heavenly Dao 1040 1750 1754.

In later chapters, he is known as Saint Lord Taichu and acts as a master. He restricts disciples who overestimate themselves or cause trouble, judges potential largely through martial aptitude, and emphasizes acting with a clear conscience 2036 2140 2152.

Appearance

Taichu is described in later battles as a white-haired man in Daoist robes. When using his power, he commonly manifests golden radiance and a body likened to forged gold 1833 1375.

• Golden light and runes frequently surround his body during major techniques 1349 1802.
• He can enlarge his body dramatically in battle 1302 1303.
• His transformed physique is described as golden, crystalline, and exceptionally durable 1375.
• His appearance can shift into a golden war-god-like form when invoking the Taichu Seal 1349.

Personality

Taichu is confident, composed, and highly combative. He frequently dismisses opponents who overestimate themselves, but he does not rely only on force; he studies enemy techniques, exploits weaknesses, and adapts his style mid-battle 752 1651 1831.

He is ruthless toward hostile cultivators, often killing defeated enemies, yet he sometimes offers surrender or allows weaker bystanders to leave rather than slaughtering them 520 758 1279. He can also show restraint, such as hesitating to kill Bage after defeating him 704.

His later outlook places value on mental clarity, wisdom, and moral conviction. He teaches that power is not solely physical, and that the Sword Dao requires state of mind and enlightenment as well as strength and speed 1752 1793 1850.
