Background / History

Zhao Xiao appeared in the Barren Mountain Range, where he gathered spiritual medicines from a Medicine Garden and brought Ning Rongrong with him. His Chu Clan bloodline and commanding aura forced the local Venerable Realm overlords into submission; Kinkaku the Flood Dragon was revealed to be his pet rather than an opponent. 13

His bloodline’s residual supreme pressure crossed into the Douluo Continent, causing widespread devastation and more than a million casualties. 14 He later traveled with Ning Rongrong toward the Barren Region and Stone Country, explaining that he belonged to a collateral Quasi-@@REF_ENTITY_11277534@@ King branch of the Immortal King Chu Clan. 23

Zhao Xiao described the Immortal Realm, the shattered Primordial Ancient Realm, and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands to Ning Rongrong and the Douluo audience. He also explained the Human Dao Domain’s cultivation hierarchy and the requirements for traveling between regions. 24 25 29

At the Star Extremity Sect, he disclosed that he was a 30-year-old Venerable, startling Zhao Ming and the sect’s cultivators. 28 He later challenged Shi Yi in order to witness the Double Pupils and Supreme Technique, ultimately providing Shi Yi with a human-only secret technique after their confrontation. 55 59 71
