Background / History
Su Yu was formerly the gentle, self-sacrificing chief disciple of Cloud Head Peak and the Carefree Sacred Land’s Holy Son. Despite being a gifted cultivator and a versatile auxiliary-arts master, he was treated as a source of free labor: he supplied more than half of the sacred land’s pills, formations, artifacts, and talismans, donated his own resources, and helped junior disciples cultivate. 783 784
His kindness made him a target for exploitation. Ye Feng repeatedly framed him, disrupted his cultivation, and used him as a stepping stone, while Liu Ruyan—who had privately pledged herself to Su Yu—took Su Yu’s resources to support Ye Feng and his family. 783 816
Qing Mo became the senior presence within Su Yu’s sea of consciousness and began controlling Su Yu’s body. Under Qing Mo’s guidance, Su Yu came to understand the Carefree Sacred Land’s exploitation and stopped serving it unconditionally. By the time Su Yu emerged from seclusion, he was willing to let Qing Mo act through his body and witness the sacred land’s downfall. 808 816
Personality
Before Qing Mo’s intervention, Su Yu was patient, mild-tempered, and willing to endure mistreatment rather than retaliate. Even when his fellow disciples slandered and ostracized him, he would simply laugh it off. 807 816
After learning how he had been manipulated, Su Yu became far more decisive and vindictive. He learned Qing Mo’s methods of using status, rhetoric, and his enemies’ greed against them; he openly enjoys seeing those who exploited him lose their standing. 809 816
Despite this change, Su Yu remains deeply respectful toward Qing Mo, whom he addresses as “Senior.” He values loyalty in others, particularly those who defended him when he had no power or support. 818 826 855
Abilities & Skills
Alchemy, Formations, Artifact Forging, and Talismans
Su Yu is an exceptionally versatile auxiliary-arts cultivator whose skills made him indispensable to the Carefree Sacred Land.
- Reached sixth-grade alchemist, fifth-grade formation master, fifth-grade artifact refiner, and fourth-grade talisman master before Qing Mo’s arrival. 784
- Became an eighth-grade alchemist, granting him considerable standing with the Alchemy Association and making the Carefree Sacred Land reluctant to oppose him. 791 809
- Passed assessments as a sixth-grade formation master and sixth-grade artifact refiner; Qing Mo also taught Su Yu techniques he had never encountered before. 811
- Was later recognized as the Celestial Spirit Immortal Realm’s sole ninth-grade grand alchemist. 823 855
- Refined pills and auctioned them for cultivation resources while teaching Little Green alchemy and artifact refinement. 812
Great Memory Recovery Technique
Su Yu used the Great Memory Recovery Technique to expose Wei Heng’s memories before the Law Enforcement Hall.
- Revealed Wei Heng’s role in framing Su Yu without damaging Wei Heng’s mind or turning him into an idiot, unlike a conventional Soul Search Technique. 787 788
- Allowed Su Yu to disprove accusations publicly and reverse the Law Enforcement Hall’s case against him. 787 788
Combat Through Qing Mo’s Control
While Qing Mo controls Su Yu’s body, Su Yu can display strength vastly beyond his actual Immortal King cultivation.
- Remained unaffected by Bai Li Immortal Venerable’s mid-stage Immortal Venerable pressure. 792
- Killed Law Enforcement Hall Master Zhou Tianyi, a peak Immortal King, despite Su Yu being at the initial Immortal King stage at the time. 788
- Killed Yan Yuntai, a mid-stage Immortal King wielding an Immortal Venerable-grade spear, with a single strike. 814
- Defeated and crippled Xiao Xian, whose true strength had reached the half-step Immortal Venerable level. 814 815
- Instantly killed Xu Shijie, a mid-stage Immortal Venerable and peak master of Sun Bamboo Peak. 816
- Uses Qing Mo’s knowledge to read opponents’ intentions and exploit the sacred land elders’ attempts to suppress him. 816 817

- Sea of People Pavilion — Used to absorb, kill, and imprison the souls of enemies, including members of the Liu Clan and Lin Yu. 789 791
- Immortal Emperor-grade immortal sword — Used to kill Yan Yuntai and break his Immortal Venerable-grade spear. 814
- Eighth-grade alchemist token — Established Su Yu’s rank and protected him from accusations that he had stolen his credentials. 791 792
- Communication jade talisman — Given by Xuanyuan Hong, Sacred Lord of Xuanyuan Sacred Land; Su Yu used it to threaten departure from the Carefree Sacred Land. 809
Relationships
- Qing Mo — Senior within Su Yu’s sea of consciousness, mentor, and frequent controller of Su Yu’s body. Su Yu follows him as an attendant and credits him with teaching him how to see through the Carefree Sacred Land’s schemes. 808 816 855
- Bai Shuang / Bai Li Immortal Venerable — Su Yu’s former master and Cloud Head Peak’s master. Their relationship collapsed after Su Yu learned of her greed and past treatment of him; she later openly submitted to him. 825 830
- Ye Feng — Child of Destiny and Su Yu’s principal rival. Ye Feng framed Su Yu, exploited his labor, and intended to use him as a stepping stone; Su Yu ultimately exposed and destroyed him. 783 816 830
- Liu Ruyan — Su Yu’s junior sister and former private betrothed. She abandoned Su Yu for Ye Feng and used Su Yu’s resources to support Ye Feng’s side. 783 788
- Youji and Yueji — The Nethermoon Duo and Su Yu’s maidservants. Both are peak Immortal Emperor experts who protect him and carry out his orders. 791 828 830
- Little Green — Qing Mo’s companion and Su Yu’s associate. Su Yu taught her alchemy and artifact refinement. 812
- Chen Weiliang — A loyal disciple whom Su Yu personally brought into Artifact Peak; Chen defended Su Yu when others slandered him, and Su Yu later taught him artifact forging and Weapon Extremity Blast. 818
Story Role / Major Arcs
Carefree Sacred Land Exploitation
Su Yu’s earlier life establishes him as the sacred land’s exploited prodigy. He supported its disciples with his own work and resources while Ye Feng and Liu Ruyan undermined him from within. 783 784
Return to Carefree Sacred Land
Su Yu returned to reclaim his original cave dwelling from Ye Feng and punished disciples who harassed Youji and Yueji. The abrupt change in his conduct shocked those who had known him as weak and accommodating. 785 787
Law Enforcement Hall and Liu Clan
After exposing Wei Heng’s false accusations with the Great Memory Recovery Technique, Su Yu killed Wei Heng and Zhou Tianyi. He then confronted the Liu Clan over its treatment of him and used the Sea of People Pavilion to destroy its remaining members. 788 789 790
Sacred Land Grand Competition
Su Yu entered the Carefree Sacred Land Grand Competition after its elders arranged matches meant to humiliate him. Instead, he killed Yan Yuntai, defeated Xiao Xian, killed Xu Shijie, and claimed first place, leaving the sacred land’s leadership unable to restrain him. 813 814 815 816
Equal Status to the Sacred Master
Murong Wuya elevated Su Yu’s standing to equal that of the Sacred Master because of Su Yu’s value as an eighth-grade alchemist and his overwhelming displayed strength. The decision cemented Su Yu’s authority over many of the elders who had previously mistreated him. 809 810 818
Defeat of Ye Feng
Su Yu exposed Ye Feng’s schemes before Ancestor Ye Xiong, revealed the support behind him, and reduced Ye Feng’s confidence to ruin. Ye Feng was ultimately tortured to death by Ye Xiong under Su Yu’s orders. 828 830
Service Under Qing Mo
After rejoining Qing Mo’s group in the Celestial Spirit Immortal Realm, Su Yu acted as Qing Mo’s informed attendant, providing intelligence on Children of Destiny such as Chu Yi and accompanying the group in its search for heavenly materials. 855
