Background / History

Qishan served Murong Shujia, the Marquis of Fate, and remained with the F9-class spacecraft Linkong to oversee the Qiongling Planet legacy. He retained knowledge of Murong Shujia's possessions, history, and defeat, including the fact that the Marquis was killed after leaving a secret realm while severely wounded. 9 13 67

Before Chen Beixun arrived, Qishan had arranged Tianwen Planet as an inheritance-selection ground. His intended candidates were Luoduo, Emperor Mu, and Emperor Ta; he had specifically planned for Luoduo to become inheritor. Qishan admits that, had Chen seized the legacy before encountering Luoduo, he would have lured Chen toward Luoduo and killed him to preserve that plan. 10

Chen's Demon Island Vine killed the other candidates, rendering Qishan's trials unnecessary. Qishan consequently recognized Chen as Murong Shujia's first personal disciple and the final inheritor of the Qiongling Planet legacy, then transferred three Red Gold Guards to him. 9

After accepting Chen as the inheritor, Qishan became his principal adviser. He assesses Chen's aptitude, distributes inherited resources, builds long-term training programs for Chen and his avatars, manages the Linkong, and supplies intelligence during expeditions and conflicts. 9 10 54 262

Appearance

When manifested, Qishan appears as a tall humanoid with an imposing, non-human appearance.

• Approximately two meters tall. 9
• Green or ancient cyan skin. 9 37
• Sharp, curved horns on both sides of his forehead. 9
• His later manifestation is described as having aged yet piercing eyes. 37

Personality

Qishan is demanding, calculating, and deeply pragmatic. His inheritance scheme treated potential successors according to survival-of-the-fittest principles, and he openly disclosed that Chen could have been killed if he had interfered with Luoduo's intended succession. 10

He is also an exacting mentor. Qishan responds to Chen's poor Water Law evaluation by emphasizing continued cultivation, creates harsh training requirements, and designs opponents specifically to counter Chen's strengths rather than flatter him. 10 11 78

Despite his severity, Qishan is consistently invested in Chen's survival and long-term advancement. He warns Chen against exposing valuable assets, urges him to gain the support of a major faction, and reacts with unusual panic when a Realm Lord threatens him. 17 66 164
