Background / History
Yuan Ling'er's past
Before using the identity of Bai Ling'er, she was Yuan Ling'er, a being nurtured by the Source Sea and Dao Lord Taichu's former Dao Companion. The two met, cultivated together, and spent countless epochs growing stronger. 457
When Taichu ascended to the Source Realm, Dao Yuan secretly targeted Yuan Ling'er. Her True Spirit shattered, leaving her apparently lost. Taichu searched throughout the Source Sea, subdued powerful beings, and eventually scattered his own True Spirit through an ancient technique in order to find her. 457
Special envoy of the Source Sea Sacred Palace
Bai Ling first appeared as a proud special envoy of the Source Sea Sacred Palace, arriving at Hongmeng Palace on a giant white horned python and demanding Dao Lord Taichu's respect. Her token disclosed that the Source Sea was divided into eight sea regions and twenty-nine voids under the Sacred Palace's governance. 374
After transforming into a woman, she tried to subdue Taichu through Spiritual Power and seduction. Taichu resisted, captured her with the Hongmeng Tribulation Bead, and placed a restriction on her rather than killing her, intending to use her knowledge of the Source Sea to locate Eternity. 378
Her father, Bai Bantian, later supported her bid for the Sacred Palace's heir position and transferred control of the Life Sea Domain to her. 395
Awakening and reunion
When Bai Bantian pressed Taichu to acknowledge Bai Ling'er's feelings, Taichu entered her sea of consciousness to investigate her identity. He eventually located a concealed True Spirit Fragment; its awakening changed her aura and restored the memories of Yuan Ling'er. 456
Bai Ling'er and Taichu reunited as former Dao Companions. Their shared memories and Taichu's remaining power rapidly restored their strength, while Bai Ling'er chose to continue living under the name Bai Ling'er and assured Bai Bantian that she would remain his daughter. 457
Appearance
Bai Ling'er can assume the form of a White One-Horned Giant Python or a human woman. In battle, twelve pairs of wings manifest behind her, acting as both a source of power and a conduit for the Source Tribulation Divine Hall. 378 473
- True form: White One-Horned Giant Python. 378
- Wings: Twelve pairs of feathered wings, strengthened by the Source Tribulation Divine Hall and the Hongmeng Source Tribulation Rod. 425 473
- Defensive manifestation: A white light shield and white armor. 574
- Later attire: A purple gauze dress embroidered with flowers. 593
Personality
Bai Ling'er initially presents herself with the arrogance expected of a Sacred Palace special envoy, attempting to dominate Taichu before he restrains her. Once she recognizes the gap in their strength, she becomes cooperative while still retaining private thoughts of retaliating after returning to the Sacred Palace. 378 379
She is courageous when the Source Calamity Sea Domain is threatened. She confronts Shui Qing despite their difference in status, challenges Jiu Yuan after the domain's formation is breached, and remains determined to assist Taichu against the Source Venerable. 425 473 492
After recovering Yuan Ling'er's memories, Bai Ling'er displays patience toward Destiny and Karma's feelings for Taichu rather than openly blaming them. In quieter moments, she is affectionate, playful, and openly wishes for a peaceful life with him. 458 668
Abilities & Skills
Spiritual Power and illusion techniques
Bai Ling'er uses Spiritual Power for seduction, deception, and combat.
- Attempted to use Spiritual Power to seduce and control Dao Lord Taichu, though he resisted it completely. 378
- Used an illusion technique to disrupt the Black Yao Heavenly Venerate's senses. 662
- Poisoned the Black Yao Heavenly Venerate through poisonous vines; he was able to identify and expel the toxin, limiting its decisive effect. 662
Twelve Pairs of Wings
Her wings are her most prominent combat manifestation and can channel external Source Treasure power.
- The Source Tribulation Divine Hall and its spiritual consciousness, the Hongmeng Source Tribulation Rod, empowered the wings during her clash with Jiu Yuan. 473
- The wings can extract and refine origin power from prisoners held beneath the Source Tribulation Divine Hall. 482
- Their enhancement was insufficient to decisively defeat Jiu Yuan; Bai Ling'er and her allies were forced back into the Source Calamity Sea Domain. 473
Defensive techniques
Bai Ling'er can form a white shield and white armor around herself.
- The armor absorbed an old man's initial grab without harming her body. 574
- The same armor cracked under the attack, showing that it can be overwhelmed by sufficiently strong force. 574
Heavenly Spirit Staff
Bai Ling'er wields the Heavenly Spirit Staff in direct combat.
- Fired a blue energy sphere that pulverized the Black Yao Heavenly Venerate's physical body. 662
- Her opponent re-formed his body afterward, requiring her to continue the battle rather than treating the strike as a final kill. 662
Equipment / Weapons / Items

- Jade Pendant — A white-jade pendant purchased for her by Dao Lord Taichu for 50,000 Low-grade Immortal Stones. 593
- Storage Ring — Used to collect spiritual herbs and elixirs during exploration. 527
Relationships

- Bai Bantian — Her father in her current life. He backs her succession to the Sacred Palace heir position, and she explicitly chooses to remain his daughter after recovering her prior memories. 395 457
- Dao Yuan — Enemy responsible for shattering Yuan Ling'er's True Spirit; Bai Ling'er and Taichu resolve to destroy him. 457
- Mu Wan, An Ya, Hun Yao, Xue Xi, Xu You, Jiu Mie, and Ming Tie — Taichu's followers who recognize Bai Ling'er as their Mistress after her awakening. 456 457
- Destiny and Karma — Taichu's personal maids. Their feelings for Taichu create jealousy and competition, but Bai Ling'er responds with tolerance. 452 458
- Jiu Mie — Entrusted with Source Sea affairs when Bai Ling'er enters seclusion to pursue the Source Realm. 482
- Shui Qing — Source Sea Sacred Palace Saintess and rival claimant of higher status; Shui Qing attacks Bai Ling'er during the dispute over the Source Calamity Sea Domain. 424 425
- Jiu Yuan — Invader of the Source Calamity Sea Domain and later a captive whose origin Bai Ling'er slowly extracts during her cultivation. 473 482
Story Role / Major Arcs
Source Sea envoy and heir succession
As the Sacred Palace's special envoy, Bai Ling'er brings Source Sea authority into contact with Dao Lord Taichu. After being captured and restricted, she becomes strategically valuable as a guide through the Source Sea and a link to the Sacred Palace's succession struggle. 374 378 395
She later declares herself the person in charge of the Source Calamity Sea Domain in Taichu's absence. Her attempt to negotiate with Shui Qing and Yuan Hou ends in an attack on her, forcing the Sea-Breaking Puppet and Source Tribulation Divine Hall to intervene. 425
Return as Yuan Ling'er
Taichu's investigation of her sea of consciousness uncovers Yuan Ling'er's hidden True Spirit Fragment. The revelation restores her memories, confirms her history as Taichu's Dao Companion, and changes her standing within his forces from a captured envoy to their recognized Mistress. 456 457
Defense of the Source Calamity Sea Domain
Bai Ling'er confronts Jiu Yuan after he breaks through the domain's defensive formation. With Mu Wan and the others, she temporarily resists him, while the Source Tribulation Divine Hall lends its power to her wings. 473
She subsequently enters seclusion beneath the hall, delegating local affairs to Jiu Mie and refining origin power extracted from Jiu Yuan, Shui Qing, and other captives. This cultivation ultimately carries her into the Source Realm. 482 491
Red Lotus Secret Realm expeditions
Bai Ling'er accompanies Taichu into the Red Lotus Secret Realm, where she absorbs the Fire Ape's Demon Core, explores dangerous formations and ancient sites, and relies on Taichu's protection against enemies such as Red Lotus Saint Ancestor and Hong Soul. 526 531 536
She also fights beside Taichu against the Soul Clan Grand Priest and continues exploring the realm's deepest regions despite the growing dangers. 557 569
Later journeys
During later travels, Bai Ling'er and Taichu face snake swarms, Fierce Beasts, and hostile cultivators. Taichu provides her with a ninth-tier pill, helping her advance through the Extreme Realm stages. 614 621
After Bai Ling'er is abducted and held in the Imperial Palace, Taichu searches for her using Time Reversal and a Tracking Technique tied to her bracelet. 655
She later defeats the Black Yao Heavenly Venerate through illusion, poison, and the Heavenly Spirit Staff, although she is injured in the process. 662
