Background / History
Liu Qingmeng is the Sect Master of Tribulation Sword Mountain and Jiang Ning'an's master. She initially appears as a distant Fourth Turn powerhouse whose worldly incarnation travels between worlds while the main body remains aloof and committed to an emotion-suppressing path of cultivation. The incarnation steadily loses power and regresses in apparent age, becoming increasingly lively and independent from the main body's icy temperament. 69 77 104 201 213
She identifies Fang Can's extraordinary fortune as essential to exploring an approaching Sixth Turn Cave Abode. Although she regards him as a valuable junior to protect, she also tries to manage Jiang Ning'an's feelings for him and uses those feelings to advance Ning'an's cultivation through the Asura Path technique Lush Green. 142 146 201 202
The memories and emotions accumulated by her incarnation gradually undermine Liu Qingmeng's Path of Ruthlessness. Her attempts to suppress or erase these feelings instead intensify her internal conflict, eventually producing a distinct Delusional Thought obsessed with Fang Can. 208 209 247 249 263 303
Within the Sixth Turn secret realm, True Monarch Yinghan manipulates Liu Qingmeng into undertaking a perilous Fifth Turn breakthrough. The resulting cultivation ordeal forces Liu Qingmeng and Fang Can into prolonged dual cultivation; Liu Qingmeng reaches the Fifth Turn, abandons her former emotional detachment, confesses her feelings, and begins openly pursuing him. 310 312 314
After completing her seclusion, Liu Qingmeng returns to find Fang Can's influence spread across the Martial World and learns that millions of female Players have undergone his AT Field “baptism.” She clashes with Jiang Ning'an over whether Fang Can should be shared, but Fang Can decisively stops their conflict. 452 453
Much later, Liu Qingmeng learns that Fang Can has fallen into a long sleep and seeks him in the Shifeng Empire. She confronts other Sixth Turns, including a former incarnation, who are exploiting his energy; unable to remove them directly, she blackmails them into letting her join. 497
Appearance
Liu Qingmeng is a striking sword cultivator whose ordinarily cold, immaculate bearing contrasts sharply with the freer temperament displayed by her weakened incarnation.
- Icy blue hair, sometimes adorned with small silver bells. 285
- Usually wears pristine white robes and carries a three-foot sword. 285
- Her main body is described as cold and lofty, with glass-like eyes and an almost frost-bound presence. 201 452
- Her power-depleted incarnation regressed from an adult woman to an aloof teenage girl, then to a blue-haired child roughly seven or eight years old. 77 104 213
Personality
Liu Qingmeng is initially stern, restrained, and highly protective of both her sect and Jiang Ning'an's cultivation. She disapproves of Jiang Ning'an becoming distracted by romance, insists on a stable cultivation foundation, and repeatedly acts to shield Fang Can because of his importance to the coming secret-realm expedition. 142 143 146 160
Her composure is complicated by a ruthless pragmatism. She devises a plan to use Jiang Ning'an's attachment to Fang Can as fuel for Lush Green, withholding its full purpose from her disciple. 201 202
The incarnation exposes a warmer, playful, possessive side that Liu Qingmeng tries to deny. As its memories return, she struggles between pride, jealousy, concern for Fang Can, and her own Delusional Thought. After her Fifth Turn breakthrough, she consciously discards her cold façade and pursues Fang Can directly. 213 247 263 303 314

Story Role / Major Arcs
Worldly Incarnation and the Sixth Turn Expedition

Lush Green Scheme
Seeking to accelerate Jiang Ning'an's cultivation, Liu Qingmeng gives her Lush Green and instructs Fang Can to sustain Ning'an's affection without fully reciprocating it.
