Background

Yellow Wind Little Sage was created as Zhou Yao's first incarnation from a single hair left by the Yellow Wind Great Sage. His inherited Inner Threefold Samadhi, wind magic, and faint trace of True Samadhi Resonance confirmed the connection to the legendary demon king. Zhou Yao named the palm-sized mouse after recognizing this inheritance. 3

Unlike a normal Mythic Walker, he is an avatar directly formed through Mythic Factors and is therefore perfectly compatible with his traits. Zhou Yao can remotely inhabit his body and borrow a portion of his abilities, though the incarnation possesses far better control over its own magic. As an extension of Zhou Yao's consciousness rather than an independent soul, he is unaffected by attacks aimed solely at the soul. 3 4 11

His Fate, Great Sage, Great Thief, appears tied to the Yellow Wind Great Sage's theft of the Glazed Lamp's oil. Its insight progress rises through acts of theft, first registering progress after his initial theft of the Ghost Soldier's Steel Trident, responding again after he stole materials from Yin Ghosts, and later stirring strongly when he swallowed the Mount Luofeng Mountain God Tablet. 3 6 8 50

His initial creation consumed the 100 Mythic Factors Zhou Yao had accumulated by riding Yin Mountain Metro over two months. His subsequent talents are loaded through the panel, which adjusts materials to suit the incarnation's compatibility rather than requiring ordinary accommodation procedures. 3 23 74 128

His existence also places him outside certain ordinary life-and-death rules. The Northern Yin Mountain Temple's guardians could find no record of him in the Life-and-Death Register, and their rule-based suppression did not prevent him from casting spells when he had violated none of the temple's conditions. This exemption did not make him immune to karmic judgment: the incomplete Sin Mirror later manifested the consequences of his killings and caused his body to collapse. 31 32 207

Appearance

Yellow Wind Little Sage is a palm-sized, yellow-furred mouse with a form that became rounder and more distinctive after his second advancement. At Scavenger Perfection, his fur carries a faint golden sheen and his pupils reflect an expanse of yellow sand. 3 23 162

• Golden-yellow fur, amber eyes, and a compact rodent body. 3
• After gaining Greedy Mouth, he developed puffed cheeks and prominent white buck teeth. 23
• After gaining Rat Transformation, his eyes acquired a deep, mirror-like quality capable of reflecting countless forms. 130
• His perfected dark-gold pupils appear to contain wind and an eight-hundred-li desert. 162
• At Scavenger Perfection, the space around him unconsciously twists as though he were a miniature eye of a storm. 162
• Can conceal himself by refracting light through wind and sand. 4
• Can disguise himself as a black-robed humanoid using wind to fill clothing, or transform into other forms through Rat Transformation. 70 199
• Has assumed a white-feathered owl form identical to Sun-Shooting Little Sage and a grain-of-dust form hidden within his sandstorm. 131 203

Personality

Yellow Wind Little Sage is cautious, opportunistic, and intensely survival-oriented. He avoids direct confrontations whenever possible, favoring concealment, evasive movement, traps, and theft; even when pursuing valuable mythic materials, he abandons targets he judges too dangerous. 18 25 27 58

He is also curious and resourceful, repeatedly experimenting with new talents and adapting them to exploration. His confidence can emerge as cheeky pride, particularly when he presents himself as a “Sage” or taunts those attempting to take what he stole. 15 16 32

Despite his self-professed preference for running away, he honors favors and attachments. He expresses gratitude toward Xie An for obtaining the Yellow Sand Lamp and later confronts Xie Bi'an to avenge Kitty Head. 162 203

His instinctive cowardice can influence Zhou Yao's decisions while inhabiting him. After the initial Yaksha encounter, Zhou Yao questioned why the incarnation had wanted only to flee despite having sufficient wind power to restrain its opponent. Nevertheless, Yellow Wind Little Sage can fight decisively when escape is blocked or an ally requires help. 6 22 32 203

He also displays a ruthless side in dealing with enemies, killing the Deadwood Aberrant after extracting information about the Night Banquet Gang. Conversely, he feels instinctive disgust at the sacrifice of a family's own child and later cremates the child's remains. 38 47 49

Abilities & Skills

Inner Threefold Samadhi

A False God Ember talent inherited from the Yellow Wind Great Sage. It strengthens his wind magic and contains a faint but genuine trace of True Samadhi Resonance. 3 23 32

• Greatly enhances the force and lethality of wind-and-sand techniques. 3 32
• Can scour and corrode mythic power when True Samadhi Resonance is invoked. 32 203
• Resonated with the Northern Yin Mountain Temple, causing it to display a Lost Mythology vision of the Yellow Wind Great King. 32
• Its power is further amplified within the Yellow Sand Demon Domain. 163
• Is an incomplete talent whose complete form and origin is Samadhi Divine Wind; full completion was considered a potential route to an Immortals' Cast-Off Husk-quality talent. 163

Flying Sand and Rolling Stones

His core wind art, used for combat, movement, concealment, and battlefield control. 4 18

• Distorts light and shadow, allowing near-invisible movement in dim environments. 4
• Carries his small body through the air and enables rapid escapes. 3 24
• Can create wide sandstorms that obstruct sight and disrupt pursuers. 32 55
• When combined with Baleful Chill, produces freezing sand capable of slowing enemies. 18
• Can leave hidden vortex currents as traps for pursuers. 55
• Carries sensory information through surrounding breezes, supporting reconnaissance, terrain scouting, and the avoidance of dangerous mythic creatures. 3 35 52 126
• Can form wind walls that prevent conversations from being overheard. 72
• Its concealment can be negated by the Skysweeping Arrow's sunlight, which exposes hidden beings and causes the concealing wind and sand to collapse. 52 53
• At Third Rank, his wind arts could delay Scavenger Perfection expert Wu Yue but could not damage his body or protective spiritual radiance. 88

Greedy Mouth

A Spiritual Dust talent created from the Golden Toad's Mouth. It traces vestiges of fortune and opens an otherworldly storage space within his mouth. 23 24

• Detects and guides him toward treasure and mythological materials. 24 25
• Stores valuable treasures, while living creatures, ordinary clutter, and scraps are difficult to contain. 23
• Temporarily expands its storage capacity when holding high-quality treasures. 25
• Stored the Mount Luofeng Mountain God Tablet, greatly enlarging Greedy Space. 50
• Swallowed the falling Skysweeping Arrow after waiting for its sunset afterglow to fade. 56
• Initially contained a space roughly the size of an ordinary bedroom. 25
• Accepted the Three Talents Ritual Method while rejecting most of the other books retrieved from Fortune Shop, demonstrating its selective recognition of valuable objects. 45

Square-Inch Artifact Refinement Art

An artifact-refining spell obtained through Xie An. 14 18

• Was loaded into the incarnation by spending 50 Mythic Factors. 16
• Refined the Ghost Soldier's Steel Trident into a size suitable for his body. 18
• Established a near-instinctive connection between him and the refined weapon. 18
• Enables mythic artifacts to be reshaped and enhanced through refinement. 18

Void-Stealing Hand

A talent loaded from the Third Hand of the Three-Handed Thief. 74 75

• Actively steals rigid physical matter, such as windblown sand. 75
• Cannot effectively steal mana, water, or loose sand through its active use. 75
• Possesses a passive “direct plunder” effect that can steal items without conscious activation. 75
• Sends stolen material directly into Greedy Space through its synergy with Greedy Mouth. 75
• Stole Lord of the Land Yu Changyong's storage pouch, securing the Withered Wood Rejuvenation Seed that helped turn the battle around and substantially advancing his Fate comprehension. 106

Rat Transformation

A Spiritual Dust transformation talent derived from the Twelve-Transformation Mirror. 124 130

• Grants access to the Twelve Celestial Stems Transformations. 131
• Allows him to assume humanoid disguises, including the form of a Yinluo City soldier. 199
• Supports infiltration and escape, fitting his thief-oriented development path. 124
• Can reproduce Sun-Shooting Little Sage's owl appearance down to individual feather patterns. His wind affinity also allows swift flight in that form. 131
• Can transform his true body into a grain of dust indistinguishable from the surrounding yellow sand, causing Xie Bi'an's incomplete Soul-Snaring Rope to lose its target. 203
• Its advancement used a material adjustment value of 20%, classified by the panel as fairly compatible. 130
• Zhou Yao considers mastery of the complete Twelve Celestial Stems Transformations a possible foundation for inheriting the Yellow Wind Monster's legacy and pursuing a Great Sage's path beyond ordinary thievery. 131

Yellow Sand Demon Domain

A False God Ember domain created from the Yellow Wind Lamp and the mythic trait of Eight-Hundred-Li Yellow Wind Valley. 161 162

• Projects an aspect of the legendary Yellow Wind Valley into reality. 163
• Greatly strengthens his wind arts, enough to make him dominant among Scavengers of the same rank. 163
• Cannot yet fully manifest the complete eight-hundred-li Yellow Wind Valley due to his Scavenger Perfection realm. 163
• Enabled him to bury Xie Bi'an beneath a golden ocean of sand. 203
• Under special circumstances, can cross time and space to awaken the Samadhi Divine Wind left behind by the Mythic Era. 163
• Its description states that advancement to Fire-Stealing Rank permits a vast sea of sand and transformation into a demon king's true body; his later battle with Xie Bi'an nevertheless includes a manifestation of that true form without an explicitly recorded rank advancement. 163 203

Samadhi Divine Wind

A higher divine ability associated with the Yellow Wind Great Sage, only partially accessible through his True Samadhi Resonance and domain. 3 163

• Its complete form is said to scatter the three souls and seven spirits and destroy golden bodies and Dharma forms. 203
• Manifested during his battle with Xie Bi'an after he assumed his demon king true form. 203
• Destroyed White Impermanence's divine-rank phantom and forced Xie Bi'an to retreat in terror. 203
• Its successful manifestations against Netherworld powers led Zhou Yao to speculate that the Yellow Wind Great King's legacy might react especially strongly to Underworld deities. This remains a hypothesis rather than an established property. 204

Great Sage, Great Thief

His Fate develops through theft, particularly the taking of high-value mythic treasures. Zhou Yao associates its nature with stealing rather than killing and uses it to guide the incarnation's development. 3 8 22 50

Incarnation Reconstruction and Shared Power

Zhou Yao can reconstruct Yellow Wind Little Sage after the incarnation falls. Following the Netherworld Ruins crisis, he reconstructed both Yellow Wind Little Sage and Sun-Shooting Little Sage through the panel, spending a combined 1,400 Mythic Factors and reforming their bodies in cocoons of light within Mount Luofeng Daoist Arena. 171

• Zhou Yao's main body can borrow part of Yellow Wind Little Sage's innate abilities; by Chapter 109, the borrowed strength had reached one-third of the incarnation's original power. 3 109
• Wind and sand remain inseparable aspects of that borrowed power, even when Zhou Yao uses it for apparently simple wind-assisted movement. 112
• Zhou Yao can channel his own divine status through the incarnation, as demonstrated when suppressing Xie An's awakened Ghost-Deity Origin. This is not a separately established divine rank belonging to Yellow Wind Little Sage. 157
• Reconstruction does not imply immunity to destruction: the incomplete Sin Mirror later judged his accumulated killing karma and reduced him to deathly yellow sand. 207

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Baleful Chill Fork — Refined from the Ghost Soldier's Steel Trident; a Spiritual Dust Underworld Artifact that can change size, form Baleful Intent, and add freezing baleful chill to his wind arts. 18
• White Impermanence's Edict — Used to re-enter Yin Mountain Metro after his memories of it were erased. Its remaining true name allowed access under Underworld rules, though by this point it had only one final use left. 69
• Mount Luofeng Mountain God Tablet — A powerful stolen tablet stored in Greedy Space; its theft advanced the insight of his Great Sage Thief Fate and contributed to the collapse of the Northern Yin Mountain Temple. 50
• Skysweeping Arrow — A mythological material he acquired by outmaneuvering Xu Yu and the Yinshan Investigation Branch. 56 58
• Yellow Wind Lamp — A False God Ember Heaven-and-Earth Wonder tied to Yellow Wind Valley; it was used to establish his Yellow Sand Demon Domain. 161 162
• Name Beyond Life and Death — An Incense Residue Heaven-and-Earth Wonder obtained from Hou Mingyuan's corpse. Its False Immortality trait concerns a mortal name absent from the Book of Life and Death; it was among the treasures he brought back from the Yin Mountain Realm. 49 58
• Twelve-Transformation Mirror — A top-quality Spiritual Dust material stolen from Zhang Yun and subsequently consumed to load Rat Transformation. 124 130
• Life-Reaping Orb — Recovered from the remains of Zhang Yun's burned sword after the Dao Protector overlooked its significance; delivered to Zhou Yao for Sun-Shooting Little Sage's advancement. 130
• Dream Orb — Acquired among the spoils from defeating an alchemist and a dwarf warlock in Yuanming Wenju Heaven. 156
• Yin Sha's Identity Token — Carried during his Yinluo City infiltration, allowing him to pass patrolling ghost soldiers without questioning. 199

Relationships

• Zhou Yao — Creator and controlling main body. Zhou Yao remotely inhabits Yellow Wind Little Sage, guides his advancement, and relies on him for exploration, treasure hunting, and escape. He can also reconstruct the fallen incarnation. 3 11 58 171
• Xie An — Ally and beneficiary of the Little Sage's knowledge about White Impermanence-related traits. Yellow Wind Little Sage saves his life and later serves as Zhou Yao's intermediary when suppressing White Impermanence's influence. Xie An secures the Yellow Sand Lamp for him at great personal cost, selling a paper bearing Ghost-Deity Origin aura to fund the purchase. 15 42 157 162
• Fu Ming and Hui Yuan — Ghost deities of the Northern Yin Mountain Temple. Their bodies returned to Lost Mythology after the temple collapsed, and they regarded Yellow Wind Little Sage as their savior. Their departing soul fragments invited him to the Ten Offices of the City God in Jade Capital City to receive repayment for his kindness. 50
• Xu Yu — Captain of the First Enforcement Team who pursued him using the Skysweeping Arrow; Yellow Wind Little Sage evaded his ambushes and stole the arrow before his eyes. 54 56
• White Impermanence / Xie Bi'an — White Impermanence initially chose not to investigate him further due to his connection to the Yellow Wind Great Sage. Yellow Wind Little Sage later defeated Xie Bi'an while avenging Kitty Head. 43 203
• Kitty Head — Fellow incarnation whose death prompted Yellow Wind Little Sage to seek vengeance against Xie Bi'an. They also cooperate in treasure theft and combat; his exact imitation of her owl form leaves her visibly bewildered. 124 131 203
• Chu Yuliang — Assisted by Yellow Wind Little Sage during the infiltration of Yinluo City, where he was freed from Dark Yin chains. 199
• Jin Wu / Fifth Master Jin — Black-market appraiser and merchant with whom he negotiates over materials and intelligence. Yellow Wind Little Sage later guides him and other merchants toward escape through Yin Mountain Metro. 71 72 88
• Yu Changyong — Lord of the Land whose storage pouch was stolen by Void-Stealing Hand, costing him valuable resources and enabling a reversal in the battle. 106
• Zhang Yun — Owner of the Twelve-Transformation Mirror stolen by Yellow Wind Little Sage. Zhang Yun's hired Dao Protectors pursued the incarnation, while Kitty Head attacked and killed Zhang Yun. 124 125

• Skysweeping Arrow pursuit — Escaped squads from the Hundred Ghosts Consortium, Galan Society, and Yinshan Investigation Branch, then exploited the arrow's sunset limitation to claim it. 53 54 55 56
• Black-market intelligence broker — Sold mythological materials and traded information regarding Yin Mountain City's lockdown, helping black-market figures escape the Investigation Branch's encirclement. 71 72 88
• Blood Pool Station trap — Delayed Wu Yue and lured him and Jiang Heng into Yin Mountain Metro, where Zhou Yao's Hell Driver form trapped and killed the two Scavenger Perfection experts. 88
• Theft of advancement materials — Stole the Twelve-Transformation Mirror from Zhang Yun, escaped pursuit by his Dao Protectors, and recovered the overlooked Life-Reaping Orb after Kitty Head killed Zhang Yun. The resulting haul enabled advancements for both incarnations. 124 125 126 130
• Reunion in Yuanming Wenju Heaven — Defeated an alchemist and dwarf warlock before reuniting with Xie An. Through the incarnation, Zhou Yao sheltered Xie An and suppressed his uncontrollably awakening Ghost-Deity Origin. 156 157

• Battle of vengeance — Pursued Xie Bi'an into his dark-side world, countered White Impermanence's powers, and summoned Samadhi Divine Wind to win the confrontation. 203
• Sin Mirror judgment — The incomplete Sin Mirror manifested the karmic consequences of his sandstorm killings in the Yin Mountain Realm rather than exposing his true body. Ignoring whether those acts had been committed in survival or self-defense, it judged his karmic burden and caused him to collapse into a handful of deathly yellow sand. 207

Trivia

• Yellow Wind Little Sage's first advancement changed him from a slender ferret-rat-like mouse into a round, hamster-like form. 23

• His memory of Yin Mountain Metro was erased after leaving, but his core memories endured because of his connection to Zhou Yao. 69
• His Third Rank advancement took place in Yellow Sand Valley, where its violent wind-and-sand phenomena blended into the natural storm and escaped the notice of tourists. 74

• Zhou Yao rejected using the Skysweeping Arrow as his third talent despite its offensive potential, preferring to preserve the incarnation's established exploration and escape strengths. 58
• The Yellow Wind Lamp's description identifies the Yellow Wind Monster as missing rather than explicitly fallen, a distinction that Yellow Wind Little Sage notices when examining the material. 161
