Background

Xiao Bai was originally the chieftain of the Geng Metal White Tiger Clan at White Tiger Mountain. After threatening Yun Xiao in the Western Land, he was subdued; Yun Xiao took his Primordial Spirit imprint, making his life and death subject to her will, then named him “Xiao Bai” and accepted him as her mount 18.

His submission gradually became genuine loyalty. When a late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal Fierce Beast injured him outside Fangzhang Island, Yun Xiao intervened to avenge him. Xiao Bai was moved that she would face such a dangerous opponent for a mere mount and later asked her to help relocate his endangered clan 20 21.

Upon returning to White Tiger Mountain, Xiao Bai found the clan gone and learned that it had migrated to the Ten Thousand Beast Forest. He defended his kin against the Moon-Grasping Monkey Clan, but Yun Xiao ultimately slew the intervening Five-Headed Golden Lion and moved the White Tigers to Fangzhang Island to cultivate safely 21 23.

Appearance

Xiao Bai is a winged white tiger surrounded by sacred white light and sharp Geng Metal aura.

  • Pure-white wings capable of scattering radiant white feathers 19.
  • A glowing “King” character on his forehead 36.
  • Can expand into a colossal tiger form millions of feet tall 36.
  • His true form carries an innate killing aura associated with Geng Metal 36.

Personality

Initially, Xiao Bai is proud, territorial, and easily offended. He resents Yun Xiao's plain naming choice internally, refuses Hao Tian and Yaochi's request to pluck his wing feathers, and is fiercely protective of his appearance and dignity 18 31.

He is deeply attached to his clan and reacts emotionally to White Tiger Mountain's destruction. Despite this pride, he trusts Yun Xiao's judgment and eventually treats her protection and confidence in him as motivation to pursue the Dao 21 24.

Xiao Bai can also be opportunistic and deceptive. He presents himself as an honorable ally to the Five Elements races, then suddenly attacks Xinjin Leopard to support Yun Xiao's seizure of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner 43.

Abilities & Skills

Innate Geng Metal White Tiger Bloodline

As the first Geng Metal White Tiger, Xiao Bai possesses an exceptional innate foundation, bloodline suppression, and combat ability.

  • His bloodline and divine abilities allow him to overwhelm the Moon-Grasping Monkey clan leader despite equal cultivation 22.
  • He can transform into human form, though he prefers to remain a tiger “closer to nature” 22.
  • His feathers can become innumerable divine swords, cutting through the void and striking entire enemy clans 22.
  • His Geng Metal killing aura is potent enough to make Grand Unity Golden Immortals wary 36.

White Tiger Devours Heaven

Xiao Bai condenses Geng Metal killing intent into a massive golden sphere and fires it from his mouth.

  • Severely maimed Xinjin Leopard with a direct strike, collapsing the five races' coordinated Five Elements momentum 43.
  • Draws power from the glowing “King” character on his forehead 43.

Flight and Mobility

Xiao Bai's wings make him Yun Xiao's primary means of travel across the Primordial Era.

  • Travels thousands of miles in an instant while carrying Yun Xiao 24.
  • Escaped from the Phoenix Clan's pursuit by flying Yun Xiao across the Southwest Boundary Mountains into the Western Land 41.
  • Later carried Yun Xiao thousands of miles away in successive flashes of movement while departing the Great Nether World 167.

Chaos White Tiger Origin

Yun Xiao later bestowed the origin of a Chaos Geng Metal White Tiger upon Xiao Bai, transforming his innate foundation 135.

  • Grants him the inheritance to cultivate the Gold Great Dao, one of the Three Thousand Great Daos and a path noted for unparalleled offense 135.
  • Raises his future potential beyond the Primordial Grand Unity realm 120.
  • Supports his later growth to the Quasi-Saint realm 147.

Relationships

  • Yun Xiao — Master, rider, and closest long-term companion. Though originally controlled through a Primordial Spirit imprint, Xiao Bai becomes sincerely loyal after Yun Xiao risks herself to avenge his injuries 18 20 167.
  • Geng Metal White Tiger Clan — His kin and former clan. He returns to defend them in the Ten Thousand Beast Forest, while Yun Xiao relocates them to Fangzhang Island 21 23.
  • Treasure Seeking Rat — Fellow traveling companion and member of Yun Xiao's group; the two reunite with Yun Xiao for the Buzhou Mountain expedition 39 167.
  • Nine-tailed Celestial Fox and the Qingqiu Fox Clan — Allies after Xiao Bai helps protect the Fox Clan during the conflict with the Wolf and Bei Ancestors 36 63.
  • Sui — Saved by Xiao Bai during the Demon Race's persecution of the Human Race 147.
  • Saint Zhunti — Prevented Xiao Bai from killing the remaining four Demon Sages after Xiao Bai's retaliation for Nine Infants' death 147.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Yun Xiao's Mount

After being subdued and named by Yun Xiao, Xiao Bai accompanies her through the Western Land, the West Sea, Fangzhang Island, Kunlun Mountain, Qingqiu, and the Southern Continent.

White Tiger Clan Refuge

Xiao Bai discovers that his clan has fled White Tiger Mountain because of the growing calamity. He returns as the Tiger Ancestor to defend them from the Moon-Grasping Monkey Clan, before Yun Xiao removes the White Tigers from the Ten Thousand Beast Forest and establishes them on Fangzhang Island 21 23.

Qingqiu Conflicts

When the Wolf and Bei Ancestors threaten the Qingqiu Fox Clan, Xiao Bai rescues the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox and attacks Bei Ancestor for targeting Yun Xiao. He is later injured after Wolf Ancestor joins the battle, forcing Yun Xiao to take over the fight 36 37.

Five Elements Ambush

Xiao Bai deceives the Five Elements races into believing he opposes Yun Xiao's theft of the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner. He then reveals his alliance with her by using White Tiger Devours Heaven to cripple Xinjin Leopard 43.

Ancient Heavenly Court Guardian

By the time of the Human Race–Demon Race conflict, Xiao Bai has become a Quasi-Saint and leads the Ancient Heavenly Court's retaliation against the Demon Race. He saves Sui, kills Nine Infants, and pursues the other Demon Sages until Zhunti intervenes 147.

Return to Buzhou Mountain

Trivia

  • Yun Xiao named him “Xiao Bai” because he looked “valiant and spirited” and had “an air of dominance”; Xiao Bai privately found the name unrelated to either quality 18.
  • Xiao Bai's original decision to remain in tiger form contributed directly to Yun Xiao being able to capture and use him as a mount 22.
  • A later panel records Xiao Bai as early-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortal after an earlier panel had listed him as late-stage; the context provides no explanation for the discrepancy 42 73.
