Background
Daoist Duobao began as a humble Treasure Mouse. Before becoming an immortal, he fought a demon snake to protect his kin; this fearless resolve left a lasting impression on Sect Master Tongtian. After attaining immortality, he declared his wish to help all beings cross immeasurable tribulations and reach the other shore of the Great Dao. He later became the Sect of Interception's First Disciple, serving Tongtian faithfully and caring deeply for his junior brothers and sisters. 33
His position and authority gradually awakened an obsession with power. Daoist Duobao came to desire leadership over all Saint disciples, and his Only I Am Supreme Dao was born from this longing for supremacy. To consolidate his faction, he sheltered fellow disciples who committed evil deeds, harming the Sect of Interception's reputation, fortune, and merit. 33 39
His cultivation of the demonic Heart Burial Great Law worsened this decline. The art caused him to discard or suppress his own goodness while retaining hypocrisy and malice; its influence also left cracks in his Dao Heart. 66 198
After his actions drew condemnation, Daoist Duobao underwent repeated reincarnation tribulations intended to teach him to genuinely guide others toward righteousness. The later account describes him enduring three thousand lifetimes of suffering. He returned after nine Kalpas with a steadier temperament, greater awareness of his past short-sightedness, and a determination to control his own fate through strength. 50 133
Appearance
Daoist Duobao presents himself as a refined, benevolent immortal whose restrained Treasure Light and composed bearing conceal a highly competitive nature.
- Wears a purple-gold Daoist robe; his formal attire is called the Purple-Gold Ten Thousand Treasures Dao Robe. 133 143
- Has a deep gaze likened to the starry sky and sea. 133
- Maintains a gentle, spring-like smile when presiding over Duobao Hall. 143
- His Quasi-Saint aura manifests as golden light and the oppressive presence of his Only I Am Supreme Dao. 202
Personality
Daoist Duobao possesses substantial charisma. His return to Golden Ao Island reassures his followers, who regard him as their backbone, while his words can soothe surrounding immortals “like a spring breeze.” 133
He is also deeply image-conscious, politically calculating, and reluctant to abandon the appearance of fellow-disciple unity even when his conflict with Fang Yang is irreconcilable. His desire for authority repeatedly drives him to protect compromised followers and to treat strength, status, and public recognition as measures of worth. 33 39 202
Failure tempers him but does not erase his pride. After reincarnation and later defeats, he becomes more cautious and willing to acknowledge setbacks publicly; however, Fang Yang's advancement repeatedly destabilizes his Dao Heart and pushes him toward desperate measures. 164 195 208

Major Arcs
Return to Golden Ao Island
After enduring reincarnation tribulations, Daoist Duobao returns after nine Kalpas expecting to reclaim his standing.

His attempt to restore unity through appeals to fellow-disciple affection fails. 133 134
Conflict with the Core Disciples
Fang Yang's challenge to Duobao's faction culminates in a confrontation at Duobao Hall. When Duobao threatens Fang Yang's junior brothers, the three Saint Mothers turn against him; realizing he cannot defeat Fang Yang and all three women together, he withdraws rather than fight. 143 146 147
Human Race Assignment
Sect Master Tongtian assigns Daoist Duobao to enter the human race, recruit and nurture capable people, and assist the next Human Emperor. Duobao accepts the responsibility as an opportunity to restore Tongtian's confidence in him. 165

Duel at Turtle Fall Great Plain

Penglai Island Confrontation
Seeking to protect Penglai's immortals, Daoist Duobao establishes the Myriad Immortals Formation and rallies his followers with his Quasi-Saint presence.
