Background

Qian Xunji serves as the Pope of Spirit Hall and bears the pure Six-Winged Angel martial soul. As Pope, he balances the organization’s political affairs with cultivation and the Angel Trials, refusing to remain in seclusion for excessive periods while Spirit Hall requires his leadership 79 82.

He first encounters Yu Changge’s family in the Star Dou Forest while securing a thousand-year Shadow Poison Demon Spider for Bibi Dong’s second soul ring. After identifying himself as the current Supreme Pontiff, he takes an interest in Changge’s unusual external beast martial soul and future potential 19.

Qian Xunji later brings Changge into Spirit City, grants him unrestricted access to the Pope Palace Library Pavilion, and provides him a residence and cultivation resources. His assistance is conditional: Changge must agree to one future request from him 30 33.

Appearance

Qian Xunji is described as a handsome man with a sacred presence befitting the head of Spirit Hall.

• Possesses a dazzling, sacred aura associated with the Six-Winged Angel martial soul 19 73.

Personality

Qian Xunji is authoritative and politically astute, but he is notably protective toward the people under his care. He recognizes exceptional potential in Yu Changge despite Changge’s initially poor innate talent and invests Spirit Hall resources into his growth 33 62.

He treats Bibi Dong as both disciple and successor, setting cultivation goals before granting rewards while planning to establish her as Spirit Hall’s Holy Maiden and eventually pass the papacy to her 86 121. He is also willing to support Changge’s independent ambitions, including the public recognition and development of Body Martial Souls, even when Changge intends to establish his own sect rather than remain fully under Spirit Hall’s control 141.
