Background
Yun Shan was the former leader of the Misty Cloud Sect. Early accounts described him as a Nine-Star Dou Emperor in seclusion, with even his own sect uncertain whether he had broken through to the Dou Zong realm. Xiao Meng's unusual knowledge of Yun Shan and the sect unsettled Ge Ye and Yun Yun long before Yun Shan appeared personally. 14 70
Yun Shan was later revealed to be “Pojun,” a transmigrator who had possessed Yun Shan's body three years before his confrontation with Xiao Meng. He secretly observed, tested, and maneuvered against Xiao Meng for years, using agents in Wutan City, the Black-Corner Region, and Jia Nan Academy. 166
Behind the Misty Cloud Sect's respectable façade, he orchestrated city massacres across multiple empires, pursued Xiao Xun'er, and created Dou Saint Puppets from slaughtered civilians. He regarded mass death as an acceptable price for power and openly admitted that each Dou Saint Puppet required the deaths of more than ten million people. 166 172
Hidden Origin
During his final defeat, a sealed entity emerged from Yun Shan's body and exposed his supposed system as a fragment of its consciousness. The entity claimed Yun Shan had once been the King of Divine Elephants, the God Who Suppresses Prisons, the Ancestor of All Phenomena, and the Son of the Lord, before being resurrected and reforged by Holy King Yang Qi. 173
According to the entity, Yun Shan's repeated reincarnations had weakened its seal. It had empowered Yun Shan only to test whether Xiao Meng possessed enough fortune to bear the karma of its escape. 173
Appearance
Before revealing his demonic cultivation, Yun Shan appeared as an elegant white-haired elder with a youthful complexion. He wore the Misty Cloud Sect's white robes, embroidered with cloud and sword motifs that emitted faint sword qi. 164
- White hair and an unusually youthful, refined face. 164
- White Misty Cloud Sect robes with cloud-pattern embroidery and sword-patterned sleeves. 164
- In battle, manifested black Demon Wings, Underworld God's Armor, and the phantom of a divine elephant. 169
- His combat aura was saturated with demonic mist, baleful qi, and hellish power. 168 171
Personality
Yun Shan was calculating, paranoid, and ruthlessly pragmatic. He spent years testing Xiao Meng rather than confronting him immediately, kept extensive hidden forces in reserve, and used civilians, sect disciples, and even his own puppets as expendable tools. 166 171
He possessed immense confidence in his own cultivation, treasures, and system-granted advantages. However, this confidence repeatedly became overconfidence: he underestimated Zi Yan, Xiao Chen's recovery, Xiao Meng's formations, and the extent of Xiao Meng's preparations. 166 168 172
Yun Shan attempted to justify intentional massacres as ordinary conduct for cultivators at the peak of power. He also tried to place responsibility for his killings on Xiao Meng, arguing that population relocations had driven him to massacre smaller nations. 172
Abilities & Skills
Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength
Yun Shan's principal cultivation art was the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, which granted him overwhelming physical force, demonic defenses, and hell-related techniques. 169

- Created Nethergod's Protection and the more substantial Underworld God's Armor. 169
- Wielded the Underworld God's Spear with strength sufficient to break formations and seriously wound Xiao Meng. 169 170
- Reached the seventh level, allowing him to open the Hell Gate and summon demons. 171

Demonic Arts
Yun Shan wielded a broad collection of demonic offensive and control techniques. 168
- Condensed demonic weapons, demonic heads, giant palms, and Demon Sovereigns from demonic mist. 168
- Used the Eight-Part Demon God Fist, creating eight demonic-dragon-like fist imprints. 168
- Created a Demon Domain and summoned large numbers of heavenly demons to block attacks and facilitate escape. 168

Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Art
Yun Shan used the incomplete Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Art to create three incarnations equal to his own strength. 169
- The incarnations could use the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength. 169
- Their coordinated attacks forced Xiao Meng into a four-against-one confrontation. 169
- The technique was ultimately outclassed by Xiao Meng's complete Self-Manifestation Great Law. 170
Puppet Creation and Control
Yun Shan commanded numerous black-robed puppets and Dou Saint-level combatants. 166 172
- Fielded two Five-Star Dou Saint Puppets against the Xiao Clan and later revealed ten additional Dou Saint-level figures. 166
- Used a final Seven-Star Dou Saint Puppet that could be temporarily elevated to Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Saint strength. 172
- Claimed that producing each Dou Saint Puppet required massacring more than ten million people. 172
- Was willing to make his puppets self-destruct to destroy Wutan City and the Jia Ma Empire. 166
System-Assisted Mastery
Yun Shan appeared capable of instantly learning powerful techniques and acquiring rare treasures through a system. 173
- His system allowed him to rapidly obtain and use supreme divine techniques, treasures, and puppet resources. 173
- The system was later exposed as a strand of consciousness belonging to the entity sealed within him. 173
- Its deductions could not determine Zi Yan's fate, Yun Yun's whereabouts, or Nalan Yanran's origin. 166 167

- Hell Gate — Gateway used to summon hell demons; Yun Shan later attempted to invoke its true form through self-sacrifice. 171 173
- Black Feather — A final escape item that increased his speed by more than tenfold. 171
Relationships
- Xiao Meng — Fellow transmigrator, long-term rival, and eventual killer. Both secretly tested and prepared against one another for years before their decisive battle. 166 173
- Yun Yun — Disciple and former Misty Cloud Sect leader. Yun Shan's connection to her was exploited by Xiao Meng's false claim of being her grandmaster. 70
- Nalan Yanran — Misty Cloud Sect junior whom Yun Shan prevented from leaving during the confrontation; he intended to exploit her abnormal and unidentified condition. 167
- Xiao Yan — Opponent of the Misty Cloud Sect during the Three-Year Agreement. Yun Shan presided over Xiao Yan's duel with Nalan Yanran, then disregarded its outcome to confront Xiao Meng. 164 165
- Xiao Chen — Xiao Clan ancestor who thwarted Yun Shan's Dou Saint forces and helped contain his final puppet. 167 172
- Zi Yan — Initially dismissed by Yun Shan as an insignificant supporting character; she later overwhelmed his Five-Star Dou Saint Puppets and helped pursue him. 166 171
- Sealed entity — Hidden manipulator within Yun Shan's body. It used its consciousness as Yun Shan's system and engineered his reincarnations to weaken its seal. 173
Story Role / Major Arcs
Misty Cloud Sect's Hidden Threat
Yun Shan's name initially represented the Misty Cloud Sect's feared old leadership. His uncertain cultivation and seclusion became a source of concern after Xiao Meng demonstrated suspiciously detailed knowledge of the sect. 14 70
The sect's hidden danger became clearer when Han Feng's forces and black-robed attackers were linked to the Misty Cloud Sect during the crisis at Jia Nan Academy. 141
Three-Year Agreement
Yun Shan received Xiao Yan and his allies at Misty Cloud Mountain, formally presiding over the Three-Year Agreement against Nalan Yanran. He declared that their battle would have no restrictions and that life and death would be left to fate. 164 165
After Xiao Yan defeated Nalan Yanran, Yun Shan refused to recognize the result and summoned Xiao Meng instead, revealing that the duel had only been a prelude to their larger conflict. 165
Clash with Xiao Meng
Yun Shan was exposed as Pojun, the transmigrator responsible for massacres across several empires. He attempted to divide Xiao Meng's attention with Dou Saint Puppets, but Xiao Meng's prior arrangements—particularly Zi Yan's defense of the Xiao Clan—ruined his opening strategy. 166
Their duel devastated Misty Cloud Mountain. Yun Shan used formations, demonic arts, the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength, incarnations, demons, and the Hell Gate, while Xiao Meng repeatedly countered his techniques with formations, Primordial Origin Flame, avatars, and superior preparation. 168 169 170 171
Defeat and Death
After losing the direct battle, Yun Shan attempted to flee through routes leading toward the Black-Corner Region and Edge-of-Heaven City. Xiao Meng, Zi Yan, Big Old Two, Xiao Chen, and Medusa systematically blocked his escape routes, ultimately forcing him before the Bodhi Ancient Tree. 171 172
Yun Shan's final attempt to sacrifice himself and summon the true Hell Gate instead broke the seal on the entity within him. The entity consumed the remains of Yun Shan's life and consciousness, after which Xiao Meng's system erased its remaining origin at the cost of three opportunities from the Mark of the Heavenly Will. 173
