He is a cunning and strategic leader, characterized by his ambition to unify the cultivation world 298 945. Throughout his tenure, he has sought to recruit talented individuals—most notably Zhang Xiaofan—to bolster his sect's influence 272 273.

His journey has been marked by a constant pursuit of power and ancient secrets, including the Heavenly Book and the "secret to becoming immortal" 477 534. This pursuit led him to join an expedition to the Far North and the Sea of Nether Domain alongside disciples from the Azure Cloud Sect 479 536. Despite his initial overconfidence, his experiences in these dangerous realms and his interactions with figures like Xiaobai have forced him to reassess his capabilities and the true extent of the threats facing the world 966.
