Background / History
Mu Feng was assessed as the third-strongest newcomer despite being only an early Four-star Dou Di. His rank and combat-worn aura distinguished him from inexperienced young masters, and he remained friendly toward Xiao Yan and Yue Ru rather than immediately seeking an alliance elsewhere 180.
During the Points Scramble, he was ranked ninety-fourth. When late Four-star Dou Di Giant Axe Xu Ni attacked Xiao Yan’s group, Mu Feng stepped forward beside Yue Ru despite the difference in strength. After being injured, he refused to withdraw, declaring his decision to stand with Xiao Yan and his companions 218.
Mu Feng became a key specialist during the Yin Shi Forest and Ghost Realm incidents. He investigated the cold pool using his Law Eye, confronted the Ghost Spirit within it, broke a Ghost Realm barrier to enable an escape, and opened the Gate of Sealing for Xiao Yan despite knowing a dangerous ghost creature waited beyond it 173 175 232.
When Yin Xie attempted to bring forth a mount through a bloody vortex, Mu Feng exhausted himself using the Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Cultivation Method to sever the vortex’s teleportation connection. This created the opening Xiao Yan needed to complete his own attack 275.
After cultivating in the Desert Mountain Range and later entering seclusion at the Burning Incense Pavilion, Mu Feng’s strength rose to the late Five-star Dou Di stage. He and his companions chose not to enter the pavilion’s individual competitions without Xiao Yan, believing the Heaven and Earth Halls’ contestants were too formidable to challenge alone 609 614.
Personality
Mu Feng is sociable and quick to recognize people worth trusting. Though he initially treats Xiao Yan with curiosity, he comes to regard him as a rare friend and openly supports him during dangerous encounters 180 232.
He is chivalrous and protective, particularly when Yue Ru or Mu Yingying are endangered. He refuses to abandon Yue Ru against Xu Ni and later shields an injured Mu Yingying from potential interference by the Xuan Ling Imperial Family 218 391.
His confidence around ghost creatures can become recklessness. Mu Feng eagerly proposes confronting the entity beneath the cold pool even while admitting that he is not certain of victory; his concern for the many captured participants ultimately motivates him to act 174.
Abilities & Skills
Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams Cultivation Method
Mu Feng possesses a cultivation method with properties similar to Xiao Yan’s Fen Jue: it absorbs external power and converts it into usable strength. Its particular affinity for Ghost Qi makes it exceptionally effective in Ghost Realm environments 302.
- Absorbs Ghost Qi and refines it into his own power 302.
- Filters the evil energy of Outer Realm Evil Clan creatures and converts it into Dou Qi 569.
- Absorbed the power of slain evil creatures in a swamp, calling the area an ideal place for cultivation 515.
- Is regarded as a major bane of Ghost Realm entities, second only to the Ghost Realm’s Twenty Evil Soldiers 275.
- High-output techniques can drain him completely; after disrupting Yin Xie’s teleportation space, he fell unconscious from exhaustion 275.
Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang Art
Mu Feng employs ritual-like hand seals, incantations, talismans, and sword techniques derived from his Eight Trigrams arts. The Golden Dragon King identifies this art as especially effective against ghost creatures 174.
- Law Eye — emits strange lights from his eyes to inspect hidden conditions within areas such as the cold pool 173.
- Demon Shadow Maze — activated around a wolf-shaped statue, exposing that its apparent stone form concealed a living puppet-like wolf 190.
- Shatter Annihilate Return — opened the Gate of Sealing; the gate’s reaction indicated that Mu Feng’s power shared an affinity with its sealing force 232.
- Yin-Yang Dharma Seal — broke a Ghost Realm barrier and concealed his and Xiao Yan’s escape from ghost patrols 175.
- Break Evil — disrupted Yin Xie’s teleportation space and stopped its monstrous mount from fully emerging 275.
Swordsmanship
Mu Feng channels cyan or profound green Dou Qi through his swords, combining straightforward swordplay with Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams power.
- Easily killed six hungry wolf demons after entering their encirclement and striking each one in rapid succession 191.
- Used a wooden sword to unleash green sword energy that dispersed black Ghost Qi from the cold pool 174.
- Wielded a silver longsword during the battle against Yin Xie; its light carried the force of his Eight Trigrams technique 275.
- His sword aura can be countered by stronger ghostly forces; a black beam from an unknown entity shattered his attack 191.

Mu Feng has shown the ability to detect auras, navigate obscure passages, and identify ghost-related threats.
- Tracked Xiao Yan’s aura through a complex network of cave passages, though the route repeatedly led him astray 21.
- Recognized the Ghost Emperor-level aura of the white-clothed woman inside the Gate of Sealing 253.
- Detected the sinister aura surrounding Xiao Yan after a black beam vanished in the Desert Mountain Range 528.
- Identified Xiao Shou’s plan to use the Silver Dragon against the Burning Incense Pavilion’s members 609.

- Yue Ru — Companion during the selection and Yin Shi Forest incidents. Mu Feng refuses to leave her alone against Xu Ni, while Yue Ru catches and administers recovery pills to him after his exhausting strike against Yin Xie 218 275.
- Mu Yingying — Teammate and mutual source of concern. They jointly stalled Yin Xie, and Mu Feng later protected her while she recovered from severe injuries 275 391.
- Lu Di — Combat partner. The two faced ten peak Four-star Dou Di registered disciples together, combining Mu Feng’s formations with Lu Di’s poison-based abilities 309 310.
- Mu Feng’s father — Formerly connected to the Burning Incense Pavilion and the person whose praise led Mu Feng to join it, though Mu Feng initially doubted the pavilion’s true nature 299.
