Background and History

Daoist Guangrong belongs to the Profound Mystery Sect's Guang generation, two generations senior to the sect's Ling generation. His secular surname is Jiang. After Yang Huai passes Yama Demon Valley's trials and reaches the Profound Mystery Sect, Guangrong accepts him into his lineage. 69 70

He refuses to let Yang Huai's exceptional aptitude replace proper education. Guangrong requires him to study the Daoist canon's secret language, classical concepts, and scriptural foundations, warning that reckless cultivation of incomprehensible inheritances can ruin a practitioner. 70

Recognizing Yang Huai's potential and Innate Geng Metal Dao Body, Guangrong grants him access to the Mysterious Heaven Golden Register, an inheritance normally restricted to the sect's core true disciples. He continues to support Yang Huai's pursuit of the six divine-beast inheritances, even when the disciple's speed of advancement exceeds his expectations. 70 71 93 99

When Yang Huai's rise on the All-Spirits Ranking draws hostile attention, Guangrong attempts to suppress speculation within the sect and demands secrecy from its elders. During the ensuing attack on the Profound Mystery Sect, he personally confronts Divine Lord Black Crow and holds off enemies while awaiting reinforcements. 105 107

Following Yang Huai's later achievements, Guangrong receives the Jade Balance Immortal Mansion as an inheritance foundation for Spirit-Fusion Peak. He subsequently proposes renaming the peak Tai Bai Peak, intending to use Yang Huai's reputation to protect the lineage and deter hostile forces. 273 274

Appearance

Daoist Guangrong is seen in loose gold-and-white casual robes. His Heavenly Gold Cave residence is arranged with deliberate simplicity, reflecting his personal style. 132

Personality

Guangrong is patient in instruction but uncompromising on cultivation fundamentals. He values scriptural learning, steady foundations, and an orthodox Dao heart over talent alone. 70

He is protective of his disciples without demanding that they pursue victory at all costs. Before Yang Huai enters the Spirit Realm Grotto-Heaven, Guangrong counsels him to advance when possible and retreat when necessary, emphasizing that the ultimate purpose of cultivation is Dao Fruit rather than a momentary contest. 99

His restraint does not extend to threats against his sect or disciple. When the Profound Mystery Sect is besieged, he takes decisive action against Black Crow Divine Lord and the opportunists gathering around the mountain. 107 109

Abilities & Skills

Six Divine Powers Origin Art

The Six Divine Powers Origin Art is the Profound Mystery Sect's unpassed secret art, built upon the powers of six divine beasts. Guangrong has cultivated three of its divine-beast branches, a level of attainment that made his name known throughout Great Prosperity's cultivation world. 71 73
