Background / History
Lie Chun is the chief disciple of the Divine Sword Sect and the final disciple of its sect master 14. Widely regarded as the most promising young expert in the sect likely to reach the Golden Core stage within a hundred years, his trajectory changes dramatically after witnessing the immense heavenly phenomena caused by Jing Pu 14. Seeking guidance and hoping not to fall behind junior disciples like Ling An'an, Lie Chun visits Jing Pu's courtyard 14 16. Mistaking routine manual labor (weeding and hoeing the ground) for profound trials bestowed by an expert, Lie Chun endures physical torment that breaks his limits, resulting in a breakthrough from Core Formation to the Golden Core stage 16 17. He subsequently becomes a regular visitor to Jing Pu's courtyard alongside Ling Jing, faithfully assisting with chores while pursuing further cultivation opportunities 18 19 41.
Personality
Lie Chun is initially serious, dedicated, and slightly burdened by his status as a leading disciple. Upon encountering Jing Pu, he develops an intensely reverent, almost fanatical devotion, interpreting the senior's mundane instructions as esoteric tests of character and power 17. He is fiercely competitive regarding his cultivation progress and determined to prove himself, eventually becoming arrogant as his power rapidly multiplies under Jing Pu's influence 17 42.
