Background

Bai Yu began as a menial disciple in the Heavenly Demon Sect’s Cutting Room. He cultivated through harsh selection conditions, purchasing ice lotus flowers with contribution points and preparing for the sect’s spirit-root test. His Delusion-Breaking Golden Eyes developed during this period, allowing him to see through solid objects and discover Yu Linglong’s Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox bloodline. 8

Before becoming an official disciple, Bai Yu refined the Yin-Yang Mystic Dragon Gu. Its formation altered his spiritual-root potential and caused alternating scorching and freezing phenomena around his body. He subsequently awakened variant yin-yang spiritual roots and passed into the Qi Refining Realm. 15 16

His talent in both Gu refinement and corpse refinement drew the attention of Gu Refining Peak and Blood Corpse Peak. Though he chose to remain with Gu Refining Peak, he received rewards from Qin Qingyao and later inherited the Blood River Scripture from Tu Kui, allowing him to pursue both paths. 30 84 85

Bai Yu later established and expanded the Feather Spirit Dynasty, taking control of the former Holy Heaven Dynasty’s twelve cities after destroying its royal family. His rapid rise made him a major figure in the Blood Prison Dynasty and beyond. 355 606

During his service at the Supreme Great Wall, Bai Yu joined the Demon Prison Army and was appointed a Hundred Commander despite his comparatively low cultivation. He secured the loyalty of his 120-man unit by defeating and subduing them with the Bone Lotus Flowing Fire killer move. 177 179

Bai Yu’s identity as a disciple of the Holy Heaven Cult was exposed during the Northern Frontier conflict. Although this revelation intensified the Royal Court’s hostility toward him, the Holy Heaven Cult later formally recognized him as a candidate Holy Son because of the territory and accomplishments he had independently established. 845 1109

Following the Starry Sky Ancient Road expedition, Bai Yu returned with major inheritances and imperial weapons. His cooperation with the Undying Daoist to suppress the Five Elements Corpse Evil Emperor further elevated his standing among the Eternal Continent’s leading cultivators. 1100 1103 1106 1107
