Background / History

Li Qingxu was originally a Ninth-Heaven Quasi-Emperor with the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body in the Covering Sky world. During the Dark Turmoil following the opening of the Road to Immortality, he forced two Supremes to return to their peak states, killed one, and was himself blasted apart. Ye Fan, having transcended the Sacrificial Dao, cast a surviving drop of Li Qingxu’s essence blood—containing his consciousness—into the future. 1

He awakened in the Swallowed Star world with his cultivation and Bitter Sea lost, but with his Sacred Body, memories, techniques, and understanding of laws intact. His local identity had been investigated as an orphan adopted by Yezi Orphanage under the name Ye Fan; he later chose the name Li Qingxu. 1 4

Li Qingxu deliberately displayed Perfect-level footwork during the Jiangnan City martial artist assessment to attract a major faction’s attention. The Limit Dojo recruited him, provided him a villa in the Extreme Pavilion, and Hong granted him access to choose two treasures. 3 4

Appearance

Li Qingxu’s Sacred Body is associated with golden radiance and chaotic mist. When activating an exclusive lineage phenomenon, he appears like an Immortal King: solemn, dignified, and surrounded by Mysterious Yellow Qi. 19

  • Golden light can envelop his entire body. 19
  • His lineage phenomenon manifests a second, throne-like figure seated above the Nine Heavens. 19
  • The manifested figure is described as resembling Li Qingxu and looking down upon the world like an Immortal King. 19

Personality

Li Qingxu is highly self-directed and treats danger as a resource for cultivation. He entered the Wilderness Zone to test himself, separated from the Eagle Predator Squad to hunt alone, and repeatedly used monster battles to temper his Wheel Sea and vessel. 6 7 8 9

He is also notably indifferent to ordinary wealth. After fighting Lord-class monsters with the Eagle Predator Squad, he gave the corpses to the squad rather than claiming the materials for himself. 13

His confidence is paired with strategic restraint. Against the Golden Horned Beast, he deliberately accepted hits to preserve the appearance of an even fight and encourage the beast’s arrogance. 47
