Background / History

Venerable Guiyi is the second personal disciple of the Chaos City Lord, the leader of the Virtual Universe Company. He is deeply favored by his teacher and frequently accompanies him, granting him exceptional standing throughout human territory. Although not the strongest among the Chaos City Lord's disciples at his introduction, he is a peak Universe Venerable with substantial influence and wealth. 89 130

He oversees the Virtual Universe Company's Peak Genius Battle, where he first takes particular notice of Bai Yuan. Guiyi's mental pressure during the gathering is resisted by Bai Yuan, whose willpower surprises Divine General Thirteen and explains Guiyi's early interest in him. 95 96

After transporting the surviving geniuses to Chaos City, Guiyi offers Bai Yuan named discipleship on the condition that he clear the fifteenth level of the Illusion Sea before leaving the Initial Universe. Bai Yuan completes the requirement in seven days, far surpassing Guiyi's expectations. At the Chaos City Lord's order, Guiyi formally accepts him as a personal disciple and brings him into the City Lord Inner Mansion. 103 107

Guiyi provides Bai Yuan with a cultivation residence at Fire-Space Mountain, guides him along the Space Origin Law, and arranges access to the City Lord Mansion's resources. He later gives Bai Yuan the Ten Thousand Line Flow Space Law Secret Technique, an Immortal divine weapon robe containing the Dead River, and the soul-type heavy treasure Water Curtain Cauldron. 108 113 116 131

When Bai Yuan requests Ling Neng's resurrection, Guiyi petitions the Chaos City Lord and relays the conditions required to proceed. He approves of Bai Yuan's willingness to surrender personal rewards and recognition for the sake of cultivating talent for humanity. 148 149

After Bai Yuan's rapid rise to the strongest being in the universe, Guiyi initially struggles to accept the news. He ultimately receives four powerful true treasures from Bai Yuan, along with six ordinary true treasures intended for his other disciples. 246 247

Appearance

Guiyi has appeared in both a fiery-red battle robe and a red robe. His presence carries immense pressure, enough to make a gathering of young geniuses instinctively fearful. 89 103

• Bald, as described during his arrival at the Peak Genius Battle. 89
• Often maintains a calm smile and composed demeanor before other Immortals. 89
• His movements display his mastery of Space Laws, including instant long-distance transport. 107

Personality

Guiyi is composed, courteous, and measured in public. While Immortal powerhouses treat him with great deference, he does not demand elaborate ceremony and thanks the representatives of the universe kingdoms for supporting the Genius Battle. 89

As a teacher, he is demanding without being dismissive. He recognizes Bai Yuan's extraordinary mental will, but repeatedly warns him that talent alone does not complete the long cultivation road. He openly acknowledges the limits of his own instruction: he can teach Space Laws wholeheartedly, but directs Bai Yuan to other mentors for Gold and Water Law cultivation. 107 108

He is protective and generous toward his disciples. Guiyi bestows rare treasures, permits Bai Yuan to undertake dangerous missions when he judges the risk acceptable, and personally intervenes in Ling Neng's resurrection request. A fellow Universe Venerable remarks that he dotes on Bai Yuan excessively; Guiyi suggests this concern may be connected to his own past experiences. 119 130 163

Abilities & Skills

Fire and Space Origin Laws

Guiyi specializes in the dual Origin Laws of Fire and Space, with Space Laws forming the core of his instruction to Bai Yuan. 108

• Instantly transports Bai Yuan to the City Lord Mansion with a flick of his sleeve. 107
• Brings a thousand geniuses through the passage to the Initial Universe. 103
• Creates a spatial barrier that causes Bai Yuan's attacks to dissipate before reaching him. 182
• Offers Bai Yuan guidance on the Space Origin Law once every ten years. 180

Mental Pressure

Guiyi can impose mental force powerful enough to overwhelm most participants in the Genius Battle.

• His pressure forces nearly all gathered geniuses to turn toward its source; Bai Yuan deliberately imitates their reaction to avoid exposing himself. 89
• His earlier mental shock was strong enough that Divine General Thirteen believed even an ordinary World Lord could not resist it; Bai Yuan barely stabilized his mind against it. 96

Combat Evaluation

Guiyi accurately judges Bai Yuan's progress and identifies areas requiring further work.

• Tests Bai Yuan before allowing him to leave the Initial Universe. 181
• Determines that Bai Yuan has reached the peak of the eighteenth level of the Nine Universes Heavenly Bridge and can barely exert nineteenth-level combat power with Blood Luo Power and a Secret Technique. 182
• Notes that Bai Yuan's illusions can affect him despite the vast disparity in their strength. 182

Notable Bestowals

• Fire-Space Mountain residence — A cultivation site within the City Lord Mansion centered on a Chaos Volcano containing natural treasures. 108
• Ten Thousand Line Flow — A Space Law Secret Technique given after Bai Yuan clears the third level of the Heavenly Bridge. 113
• Dead River robe — An Immortal divine weapon containing a refined Dead River; its gravitational force can exhaust even a Marquis-level Immortal when controlled properly. 116
• Water Curtain Cauldron — A soul-type heavy treasure that can shroud and conceal the soul. 130 131

Relationships

• Chaos City Lord — Master. Guiyi is his second personal disciple and obeys his order to bring Bai Yuan into the City Lord Inner Mansion. 89 107
• Bai Yuan — Personal disciple. Guiyi recognizes Bai Yuan's willpower early, accepts him after the Illusion Sea trial, provides resources and protection, and later receives true treasures from him. 103 107 247
• Black Crow King — Disciple and Bai Yuan's seventh senior brother. Guiyi summons him to assist Bai Yuan after granting the Water Curtain Cauldron. 131
• Vacuum King, Bone Dragon King, and World Stone King — Disciples who help cover the cost of Ling Neng's resurrection. 149
• Venerable Shihuo — Fellow Universe Venerable and rival supporter in a wager over whether Bai Yuan or Seven Swords will become a Universe Venerable first. 153
• Black-scaled Universe Venerable — Acquaintance who warns Guiyi not to overprotect Bai Yuan. 163

Story Role / Major Arcs

Peak Genius Battle

Guiyi presides over the competition and announces its elimination rules and rewards. He directly questions Bai Yuan about whether he objects to the rules, drawing attention to Bai Yuan before the other contestants and Immortals. 95 96

Acceptance of Bai Yuan

Guiyi makes Bai Yuan's apprenticeship conditional on clearing the fifteenth Illusion Sea island. Upon Bai Yuan's success, he promotes him from named disciple to personal disciple and escorts him into the City Lord Mansion. 103 107

Chaos City Mentorship

He gives Bai Yuan access to Fire-Space Mountain, teaches Space Law cultivation, provides rare techniques and treasures, and warns him that the universe outside Chaos City is dangerous. 108 113 116

Ling Neng's Resurrection

Guiyi facilitates the resurrection through the Chaos City Lord but requires Bai Yuan to accept the loss of his Universe Realm Original Heavenly Mountain achievement and its associated reward. He is satisfied by Bai Yuan's selfless decision. 149

Bai Yuan's Return

Guiyi is bewildered when the Chaos City Lord reveals that Bai Yuan has already become the strongest being in the universe after less than two eras of cultivation. He accepts Bai Yuan's gifts, which include a high-tier soul true treasure, top-tier domain and palace true treasures, and peak true treasure armor. 246 247
