Background / History

He Heng was born into the He Family of Liang Province in the Great Xia Dynasty’s Nine Provinces Land. At sixteen, he was an ordinary but capable Flying Immortal Academy student whose aptitude placed him outside the foremost ranks of his clan. He also retained memories of a previous life as a scholar and researcher from the Heavenly Dynasty, with knowledge of literature, history, mathematics, physics, and chemistry 1 8.

His circumstances changed after obtaining the Myriad Heavens Treasure Mirror, a treasure capable of sending him across worlds. He immediately treated the artifact as both an opportunity and a burden: a Crimson Fire Demonic Sect cultivator who had targeted him became the first major tribulation on his path, and he resolved to return only after gaining the strength to kill her 5 8.

In the Dragon-Snake Romance world, He Heng abandoned reliance on others’ paths, developed his own martial arts, and spent more than thirty years cultivating. He reached the Human Law Realm after fighting Wang Chao, God, Tang Zichen, and Ba Liming simultaneously, defeating all four before returning to the Great Heaven World 5 10 23 24.

His later journeys involved numerous identities and worlds. As Bai Yu Jing, the Longevity Sword, he led the Green Robe Tower and became tied to the Azure Dragon Society; in another life, Fire Dragon Daoist named him Zhang Sanfeng and Xuanxuanzi; after the Path to Heaven, his consciousness inhabited the ghost Black Mountain Old Demon 67 190 279. He repeatedly used these journeys to acquire techniques, artifacts, allies, and insights unavailable in the Great Heaven World.

After entering the Dao Embryo Realm, He Heng accepted Meng Wujiu as his master and established a dojo in Taihe Cave Heaven. Ling Changzhen later accepted him as a personal disciple and positioned him as the senior disciple intended to inherit the True Martial Sect’s legacy 223 384.

Appearance

He Heng’s appearance changes with his incarnations and assumed identities. In an early adult body, he appears as a refined young man with fair, jade-like skin, black hair, deep eyes, and an air of mature steadiness. Despite this polished appearance, powerful opponents sense a dangerous, beastlike threat beneath it 17.

• Deep, unusually calm eyes that often become cold or emotionless in battle.
• Long black hair and sharply defined features in later Dao Body descriptions 405.
• A physique refined through extensive body cultivation, eventually described as flawless crystal containing divine radiance and laws within every inch of flesh and blood 405.
• Frequently adopts the robes, names, and outward mannerisms required by his current world or affiliation.

Personality

He Heng is defined by extreme self-reliance. He believes that a cultivator’s Dao cannot be borrowed from another person and that only his own path can lead him toward eternity 5 48. His Dao Heart is steady, his ambitions are vast, and he treats obstacles—including stronger enemies, established orders, and heavenly tribulations—as things to be overcome rather than accepted 8 338 793.

He is calculating, observant, and skilled at presenting different faces to different people. He can act respectful before sect elders, flatter potential allies, deflect probing questions with humor, and use apparent weakness to mislead opponents 20 275 305. His relationships are often transactional, but he values capable people and recognizes conviction even in enemies.

His ruthlessness is deliberate rather than impulsive. He is willing to kill, deceive, exploit trust, and discard conventional morality when it serves his pursuit of the Dao; however, he considers sincerity toward his own beliefs essential to cultivation 48 338. He is not indiscriminately cruel, occasionally sparing those who no longer threaten him, but he ultimately places his own path above personal attachment or worldly responsibility 692.

Abilities & Skills

Myriad Heavens Treasure Mirror

• Heavenly Demon Incarnation — An incarnation that remained connected to him within the mirror realm 318.

• Taiji Six Unifications — A move created to open the Gates of Myriad Wonders and prepare for condensing a perfect Dao Embryo 158.

Formations, Qi, and Elemental Arts

He Heng combines Daoist qi refinement with battle formations and broad elemental comprehension.

• Ten Directions Heaven Refining Great Formation — Used heaven and earth as a cauldron to imprison and refine All God over ten days 379.

• Tang Zichen — Formative sparring opponent in the Dragon-Snake Romance world. Their clash helped He Heng understand that he had to walk his own Dao 5.
