Background / History

Master trained Qin Guan from the age of four, putting him through twelve years of arduous training before Qin awakened his Chaos Body at sixteen. His teaching forged Qin's fearless, forward-driving temperament and emphasized that a Martial Cultivator without resolve could never open the Eighth Gate, the Killing Gate. Such a brutal method required a powerful protector, a role Master fulfilled for Qin 70 120.

He introduced Qin to the legend of Yang Tianni, the ancient Martial Cultivator who pioneered sword-and-martial dual cultivation without a Dantian. This influence shaped Qin's childhood ambition to become a Sword Dao expert 9.

Master later sent Ru Yan, Qin's senior sister, to assist him when Qin needed Spirit Veins to save his mother 606. He remained involved in Qin's growth from afar, criticizing his scattered Great Dao cultivation while monitoring his progress in the Netherworld 656.

Personality

Master is harsh, blunt, and demanding toward Qin. He scolds Qin for slow progress, carelessness, and poor use of opportunities, but his criticism is consistently directed toward making his disciple stronger 656 993 1023.

He is also pragmatic and manipulative. When Qin hesitates to accept the position of Chaos Realm Lord, Master reveals that he has already “sold” Qin's services to the Heavenly Daos, leaving him little room to refuse 1013.

Despite his severe teaching style, Master values disciplined learning. He orders Qin and his companions to study ancient texts together, arguing that they must understand Chaos Realm history and the origins of the Great Dao before entering the Divine Mountains to cultivate 1023.
