Yi

Biodata

Background and Identity

Yi is a mysterious, immensely powerful treasure-refining entity who becomes the enigmatic teacher of Shi Fen. Though his true identity, origins, and location remain unknown, he established a comprehensive inheritance system for his disciple, which Shi Fen accesses primarily through the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror. This inheritance includes secret patterns, diagrams, vast material resources, and supreme treasures. Yi's teachings and methods are distinct from and vastly superior to the conventional treasure-refining traditions of the Primordial Universe. His existence and the nature of his inheritance place Shi Fen at the center of intense interest from the highest echelons of the human race's Treasure Refining Guild.

• Mysterious teacher of Shi Fen, never personally appearing but guiding him through an inheritance trial.
• Communicates exclusively through the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror, using it to deliver messages, rewards, and to monitor Shi Fen's progress.
• Left behind a colossal inheritance consisting of 10,081 basic secret patterns and 360 basic secret pattern diagrams that Shi Fen must comprehend to advance.
• Provided an immense store of resources, including 300,000 World Rings in three baskets and 120 million Storage Cards, each containing valuable secret patterns.
• Rewards Shi Fen for refining treasures; for example, successfully crafting a Planetary Level treasure increased the mirror's detection diameter by a factor of 100.
• Bequeathed ten Origin Supreme Treasures (Energy Orbs) that are equivalent to supreme treasures and assist in law comprehension; also left 330 Origin Hearts in the Treasure Refining World's Main Hall, including a Chaos Law Heart.
• His treasure-refining methods differ fundamentally from those of the Primordial Universe, as noted in Shi Fen's reflections on the "vast gap" between the two.
• His identity is unknown even to the most powerful refiners of the human race, though Elder Qian—a human who later takes Shi Fen as an apprentice on Earth—bears a striking resemblance to Shi Fen's former master, implying a possible connection or avatār of Yi.

Role in the Story

Throughout the story, the enigmatic entity known as "Yi" serves as Shi Fen's primary benefactor and guiding mentor, orchestrating a vast, multi‑stage inheritance designed to propel his disciple toward unparalleled power and understanding. Yi’s role is that of a distant but immensely generous instructor who does not directly interfere in Shi Fen’s daily struggles but instead provides the tools, resources, and challenges necessary for growth. He establishes a progressive curriculum of trials—starting with the basic Treasure Refining inheritance and expanding into the “Foundation” stage—while simultaneously outfitting Shi Fen with wealth, knowledge, and treasures that defy ordinary cultivation logic. Yi’s interventions often arrive at critical junctures, rewarding persistence and ingenuity with game‑changing assets. His overarching plan appears to be the creation of a supreme powerhouse who can eventually stand among the universe’s elite, yet he never imposes his will; rather, he leaves the path open for Shi Fen to choose his own direction, offering guidance only through cryptic messages and layered rewards. The relationship is built on trust earned over eighteen years of solitary study, with Yi’s distant presence felt through the machinery of the Treasure Refining World, the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror, and the steady stream of resources that transforms Shi Fen from a struggling reincarnator into a figure of cosmic significance.

Abilities and Knowledge

Shi Fen possesses a unique and formidable set of abilities stemming from a combination of a heaven-defying treasure-refining inheritance, an extraordinary soul technique, and rapid law comprehension. His core asset is the Nine Extremes Soul Clone Technique 42, which granted him nine identical clones, each capable of independent cultivation and action, while also enhancing his original body's Sea of Consciousness. This allows him to multi-task across complex domains—for example, one clone can teach Extreme Forging on Earth while another ventures into the universe, and his main clone focuses exclusively on law comprehension 127. His mind is further amplified by a remarkable Spiritual Force amplitude of 96x, enabling him to split his consciousness to manufacture multiple items simultaneously, such as engraving Tier 3 Law Secret Patterns in batches using Heart Separation Control 157. In treasure refining, Shi Fen displays exceptional fundamentals, impressing masters like the Forge God Heaven-Master with his metal forging skills 200, and he is on the rare ten-law treasure refining path, matching the expertise of the Treasure God King 206. His adaptation and quick thinking are evident when he instantly switches strategies to showcase his wealth instead of his exposed strength, activating technological devices to manage the situation 197. These cognitive and technical abilities are fueled by rapid cultivation: with the aid of Origin Supreme Treasures, he reached the threshold of all ten laws within his law domains in just eight months 127.
