Background / History

Tian Meng claims to have spent thousands of years searching for the Profound Ice Marrow deposit using his exceptional spiritual perception. He also says that he acquired human soul tools while traveling across the continent. During earlier wanderings in the Far North, Xiao Bai chased him away more than once 20 23.

Xue Chen discovers him sleeping amid a mountain of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. Recognizing his immense spiritual power and comparatively weak combat ability, Xue Chen chooses negotiation rather than force. He considers recruiting Tian Meng as a wisdom soul ring, but prioritizes securing the marrow and escaping the cave 17 18 22.

Bargain with Xue Chen

Physical prodding and lightning fail to wake Tian Meng fully. A warning that someone will steal his beloved “Bingbing” finally rouses him. On seeing Xue Chen, he panics at the child’s face and bloodline pressure. His spiritual examination identifies a human with roughly twenty levels of soul power, but cannot penetrate the obscured depths of Xue Chen’s body. He ultimately dismisses his fear as a hallucination 19.

Xue Chen exploits Tian Meng’s affection for Ice Emperor by inventing praise from her, claiming she wants to see him, and warning of rival suitors. Tian Meng agrees to escort him out and surrender half the cave’s marrow in exchange for help approaching Ice Emperor. Despite protesting the cost, he divides the marrow fairly and carries Xue Chen to the surface through a spiritually reinforced passage 20 21 22 23.

Visit to the Ice Crystal Palace

Tian Meng accompanies Xue Chen to the palace, where Ice Emperor reacts with hostility. He attempts to flatter her and presents his remaining marrow as a gift. Recognizing Xue Chen’s scheme and the resource’s value, she temporarily postpones their dispute, but threatens him for calling her “Bingbing” 26 27.

Afterward, Tian Meng warns Xue Chen about Di Tian’s strength and admits that he has no solution to the Beast God’s interest in him. He later hides inside the palace to avoid Ice Emperor, who summons him after Red King’s departure. The outcome of that summons is not shown in the supplied chapters 27 29.

Personality

Tian Meng is boastful and likes presenting himself as an experienced senior, but stronger soul beasts quickly expose his fearfulness. He recoils from Xiao Bai, struggles to enter Ice Emperor’s palace, and speaks of Di Tian with genuine dread 20 23 26 27.

His devotion to Ice Emperor makes him exceptionally susceptible to flattery and jealousy. Supposed praise from her overwhelms his skepticism, while the prospect of romantic rivals persuades him to risk a dangerous reunion. Nevertheless, he recognizes the value of his marrow, negotiates over it, and honors his agreement despite considerable regret 20 21 22 23.

Abilities & Skills

Spiritual Power and Perception

• Investigation: Examines Xue Chen’s body, vitality, and soul power through a spiritual probe 19.
• Bloodline sensitivity: Detects a terrifying pressure within Xue Chen that ordinary soul-power measurements do not explain 19.
• Spiritual communication: Uses spiritual transmission to converse privately with Xue Chen 27.
• Limit: Cannot resolve the chaotic obscurity within Xue Chen’s body or identify the source of his initial fear 19.

Mental Manipulation and Passage Construction

• Item handling: Moves Profound Ice Marrow into storage soul tools and distributes it between containers using mental power 23.
• Escape passage: Opens a short, stable route through solid ice and rock, reinforcing its edges with spiritual power 23.
• Protection and transport: Envelops Xue Chen in a gentle mental wave, shielding him from the surrounding cold and pressure during their escape 23.

Profound Ice Marrow Absorption

• Cultivation: Draws pure blue origin energy from the marrow into his body even while asleep 18.
• Goal: Regards the deposit as essential to reaching the million-year bottleneck 22.
• Observed vulnerability: His absorption sleep is so deep that touch, shouting, and Xue Chen’s lightning do not wake him fully 19.

Combat Limitations

• Uneven strengths: Xue Chen assesses his direct combat power as potentially inferior to an ordinary 10,000-year offensive soul beast, despite his enormous cultivation, vitality, and spiritual reserves 18.
• Danger to weaker opponents: Xue Chen still fears that an instinctive spiritual counterattack could kill him 18.
• Stronger adversaries: Tian Meng considers his mental power inadequate against Xiao Bai’s overwhelming strength and offers no means of resisting Di Tian 23 27.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Ring-shaped storage soul tool — An archaic spatial item used to collect the cave’s marrow; later presented to Ice Emperor with his remaining share 23 26 27.
• Bracelet-shaped storage soul tool — Holds Xue Chen’s half of the marrow and is handed over with it 23.
• Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow — His cultivation resource, bargaining asset, and gift to Ice Emperor. Xue Chen’s share later helps Snow Emperor establish an ice-attribute origin for him 22 23 30 31.

Relationships

• Xue Chen — Bargaining partner and temporary companion. Xue Chen manipulates his romantic hopes, but Tian Meng keeps their agreement; Xue Chen subsequently intervenes to protect him from Ice Emperor 20 22 23 26.
• Ice Emperor — His beloved “Bingbing.” His affection is not reciprocated in the supplied passages: she treats him with hostility and forbids the familiar nickname 21 26 27.
• Xiao Bai — A feared acquaintance who previously chased him away. Xue Chen reassures Tian Meng that Xiao Bai will not harm him during their reunion 23.
• Di Tian — A source of profound fear. Tian Meng describes the Beast God as standing at the pinnacle of soul beasts and touching the god-level threshold 27.

Notable Quotes

“Fine! Half is half! Kid, you're ruthless! Brother agrees! But you have to promise to put in a good word for me in front of Bingbing!” 22

“Here! Take it! This is your half! Look closely, kid—your Brother Sky Dream keeps his word, no cheating the young or the old!!!” 23

Trivia

• Xue Chen recognizes Tian Meng from his memories of Peerless Tang Sect, including his original role as Huo Yuhao’s wisdom soul ring. Those memories inform Xue Chen’s recruitment idea; they are not events that have occurred in this novel’s supplied chapters 18.
• The chapter heading calls him the continent’s “number one simp” or “number one bootlicker,” reflecting his devotion to Ice Emperor 18.
