Background / History
Taizhen received Donghua at the Jade Pool of West Kunlun after his arrival. Their discussion concerned the Dao, the situation in the Primordial World, and the need for Innate Divine Beings to seek compatible Dao Companions. They subsequently cultivated and verified the Great Dao together, beginning a partnership founded on the complementary principles of pure yin and pure yang 18.
She accompanied Donghua into a hidden space rift and chose to remain with him after its passage sealed, stating that they should leave together and support one another in danger 24. During the ensuing campaign against the remaining Fierce Beasts, she fought alongside him against Qiongqi, Chaos, Qiong Taotie, and Taotie. Their victory and the purification of the secret realm earned them merit 25 26 29 31.
After attending Hongjun's sermon at Purple Cloud Palace, Taizhen accepted Donghua's Jade Disk of Creation Fragment. Though initially reluctant because it contained both the Time and Pure Yang Laws, she accepted after Donghua affirmed that their fortunes were already intertwined. She then entered seclusion in West Kunlun to comprehend the Time Law 37.
Taizhen aided Donghua and Kong Xuan in purifying Fierce Beast remains in the extreme north. The merit gained from restoring the region enabled her to sever her good corpse, Pure Yin, and become a Quasi-Saint 54 55.
After further cultivation, she attained the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm and manifested her Hunyuan Dao Fruit on Penglai Immortal Island 78. She then helped relocate Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou to Zifu Continent, anchoring the time sequence of the islands and smoothing the destructive shock of their landing 79 80.
Appearance
Taizhen is described as possessing soft brows and eyes resembling moonlight, with an innate aura that nurtures life yet carries a faint, seasonal killing intent. After attaining Hunyuan, her presence becomes a gentle radiance of time, serene and profound rather than oppressive 18 78.
- Her Dao Rhyme is associated with clear radiance, moonlight, and flowing time 27 29.
- She carries the Kunlun Mirror, an ancient mirror marked with images of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and rivers 21.
- Her good corpse, Pure Yin, is identical in appearance but more gentle and compassionate in bearing 55.
Personality
Taizhen is composed and reserved, maintaining authority even while discussing matters of cultivation and the wider Primordial World with Donghua 18. Her calm does not prevent decisive action: when Donghua was trapped in an Innate Great Array, she immediately used the Kunlun Mirror to try to restrain the collapsing spacetime and rushed to his aid 21.
She values mutual support over caution alone. When Donghua considered entering the space rift without her, she insisted that, having arrived together, they should also depart together 24. This loyalty remains consistent throughout their later endeavors, including the purification of the extreme north, the relocation of the Three Immortal Islands, and their joint travels across the Primordial World 54 80 84.
