Appearance

• Often described through his measured bearing and formal Celestial Xia etiquette. 1461 1525
• Strokes his beard while considering difficult matters. 1525 1548

Personality

Daoist You is cautious, restrained, and difficult to sway. While stationed in Fuqing Way, he refused repeated efforts to recruit him and followed Zhang Yu’s instruction not to act prematurely. 1461

He considers himself a kind man and is uneasy with deception, but will accept an unpleasant role if it benefits Celestial Xia. 1525 As an instructor, he finds fulfillment in helping slow learners rather than favoring naturally gifted disciples, and he is persistent enough to create avatars to supervise students continuously. 1547

Abilities & Skills

Formation Arts

• Set up a shielding formation before discussing sensitive matters with Zhang Yu. 1461
• Arranged a grand array around Lin Tingzhi and sealed every route leading to him. 2214
• His array could obstruct an opponent’s advance, though it could not fully prevent retreat. 2214
• Maintained confidence in his formation rather than altering it impulsively when an enemy withdrew. 2214

• Sent an incarnation bearing a communication crystal jade through the Origin Capital Mysterious Diagram into a void domain. 1525
• His departure to seek the complete Dao was immediately sensed by Zhang Yu through the Hearing Seal. 1548

Teaching

Daoist You is an upper-realm cultivator who takes an unusually thorough approach to instruction. 1547

• Teaches capable and untalented disciples alike without favoring those with natural aptitude. 1547
• Focuses on students who struggle to understand, viewing their eventual success as proof of true teaching skill. 1547
• Can station an avatar beside a disciple for constant guidance. 1547

Story Role / Major Arcs

Fuqing Way Mission

Daoist You was separated from Zhang Yu and the other Celestial Xia cultivators after entering Fuqing Way. He remained inactive as instructed and rejected attempts by Fuqing Way to draw him over. 1461

Zhang Yu later tasked him with making Origin Xia infer that he belonged to Celestial Xia’s main war faction. Daoist You agreed to use a crystal jade communication device to relay selected information to Origin Xia through Zeng Nu. 1525

Seeking the Complete Dao

After taking up instruction of disciples, Daoist You pursued the complete Dao when his opportunity arrived. He returned in the next instant at Cloudwatch Continent, having attained the Complete Dao Fruit and comprehended his fundamental Dao method. 1547 1548

Origin Xia Negotiations

As Celestial Xia’s envoy, Daoist You questioned Councilor Cai about Origin Xia’s Dao-anchoring treasures and the latter’s knowledge as a former Fuqing Way elder. 1551

He later reviewed the terms exchanged between Celestial Xia and Origin Xia, identifying which information had been deliberately released by Celestial Xia and noting Origin Xia’s lack of evidence regarding the demon god. 1852 When the two sides exchanged signed jade slips, the restraints of their oaths dissolved and the ten-year peace ended. 1853

Defense of Lin Tingzhi

During an Origin Xia incursion, Daoist You used his grand array to guard Lin Tingzhi. An opposing Daoist recognized that challenging You head-on would mean attacking a defensive specialist on his own terms, and instead sought a route around the formation. 2214

Relationships

• Zhang Yu — Fellow Celestial Xia cultivator and mission partner; Zhang Yu entrusted You with sensitive intelligence work in Origin Xia. 1461 1525
• Chief Executive Chen — Observed Daoist You’s attempt to seek the complete Dao and did not interfere when his opportunity arrived. 1548
• Councilor Cai — Origin Xia councilor questioned by You regarding Dao-anchoring treasures and Origin Xia affairs. 1551
• Lan Si — Origin Xia negotiator; concluded the exchange of signed terms with You, formally ending the two sides’ ten-year peace. 1853
• Lin Tingzhi — Protected by Daoist You’s grand array during an Origin Xia attack. 2214
