Background / History
Bai Xiaochun left his village seeking cultivation and longevity. His farewell exposed the villagers' relief at his departure, while his own ambitions centered on becoming strong enough to live forever and prevent fighting 205. At the Spirit Stream Sect, he was repeatedly punished for causing trouble, first being sent to the Fire Kitchen and later to the outer sect, where he chose the incomplete but longevity-themed Undying Longevity Technique 207.
He rose through the Spirit Stream Sect by combining cultivation talent, alchemy, and shameless improvisation. He became a glory disciple after surviving a battle in which he was believed dead, won the sect competition, and developed a reputation for disastrous but effective pills 210 211. After obtaining Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, he infiltrated the Blood Stream Sect as Ye Zang, eventually becoming a Blood Child and inheriting the Blood Ancestor's legacy 214 220.
Bai Xiaochun tried to avert the war between the Spirit Stream Sect and Blood Stream Sect, revealing his Ye Zang identity and using the Blood Ancestor's power to halve the Blood Stream Sect's combat strength. When the Spirit Stream Sect attempted to exploit that advantage, he summoned Tie Dan to restrain both sides instead 222. He survived an assassination attempt by Hanyan Ancestor, who was exposed as the Xuan Stream Sect's Thousand-Faced Ancestor 223.
After joining the Starry Sky Dao Extreme Sect and serving at the Great Wall, Bai Xiaochun turned pill furnaces and Soul Gathering Pills into battlefield weapons. His actions earned him the name White Demon and made him a priority target of the Wilderness 231 232 235. Forced into the Wilderness, he impersonated Bai Hao, avenged Bai Hao's mistreatment by the Bai Clan, and entered the service of the Giant Ghost King 237 240.
Bai Xiaochun ultimately gained the Underworld Emperor's protection through Bai Hao, who became the Underworld Emperor and continued to regard Bai Xiaochun as his master 249. Bai Hao later sacrificed himself to save Bai Xiaochun from Heavenly Venerable, profoundly changing Bai Xiaochun and driving him toward greater power 253. Bai Xiaochun rose through the Heavenly Venerable, Primordial, Ruler, and Eternal realms, defeated Ni Fan and Saint Destroyer, and saved the Eternal Immortal Realm by traveling back through time 258 260.
Personality
Bai Xiaochun is defined by an extreme fear of death and an equally extreme desire for longevity. He avoids risks whenever possible, prefers fighting weaker opponents, and can draw out extraordinary speed and strength when he believes his life is threatened 207 211 240. This caution does not make him disloyal: when companions, disciples, or his sect are endangered, he repeatedly risks his life despite his fear 210 237 250.
He is boastful, theatrical, opportunistic, and famously shameless. Bai Xiaochun routinely turns disasters into self-praise, uses disguises and underhanded tactics, and treats praise as proof of his greatness 213 242 245. Even after reaching the Eternal Realm, he remains eager for recognition and retains the same irreverent manner 262.
