Background / History

Hai Bodong was once renowned throughout the Jia Ma Empire as the Ice Emperor and ranked among its ten greatest experts. He also served as Supreme Elder of the Miter Family. His conflict with Queen Medusa left his cultivation sealed for decades, reducing him to the Dou King realm; afterward, he operated a map shop in the desert and avoided Snake-People territory out of fear that Medusa would sense him and kill him. 43 44 61

Xiao Tian located Hai Bodong through his shop and sought a fragmentary map connected to a Heavenly Flame. After recognizing Hai Bodong's identity and condition, Xiao Tian offered to remove Medusa's seal in exchange for assistance with Xiao Clan matters. Hai Bodong agreed immediately, emphasizing that he would repay any genuine favor. 43

Medusa supplied the final ingredient, Sand Mandala, after Xiao Tian intervened. Xiao Tian then refined a sixth-tier Breaking Misfortune Pill bearing a pill pattern, allowing Hai Bodong to expel the seal and regain his Dou Emperor strength. 48 49
