Background

Su Qingyang's original body was a sickly orphan with ordinary aptitude who died of typhoid at age five. After transmigrating into it, Su Qingyang developed extraordinary martial comprehension: he could master techniques at a glance and improve or reconstruct them from their foundations. 1 2

He first cultivated Internal Forging and elevated the limited Azure Wood Art into the Azure-Heaven Wood Transformation Art, allowing him to reach Innate Peak. Unable to awaken the spirituality required for True Qi, he abandoned that path and chose the perilous Blood and Qi Martial Path instead. 2

By the time Liu Qingni located him in Spirit Peak County, he had already become a Blood Refining Grandmaster. He initially rejected the prospect of being Great Jin's lost Sixth Prince, regarding personal strength as more valuable than royal status. 1 2

His encounters with Lin Muqian's remnant, the Red Hair curse, and the hidden chamber within Spirit Peak Mountain convinced him that the world concealed dangers beyond conventional martial arts. He traveled to the Imperial Capital both to investigate these mysteries and to seek cultivation resources. 6 8 10

His blood activated the sacred artifact Lady of Worship, and Eunuch Mei subsequently confirmed him as Great Jin's true Sixth Prince. The Jin Emperor later granted him the Hundred Flowers Garden and offered him control of the Secret Bureau if he could secure its loyalty. 54 55 57

Appearance

Su Qingyang appears as a refined young man rather than the imposing giant expected of a Blood Refining Grandmaster. His restrained physique conceals overwhelming vitality and blood energy. 1

• Face described as jade-like and exceptionally handsome. 1
• Thick black hair, usually worn loose over his shoulders and chest. 1 57
• Slender, well-proportioned build with strength hidden beneath a scholar-like appearance. 1
• His eyes can become pure gold when he channels blood and qi or uses mental techniques. 8 26
• When his Scarlet-Gold Glazed Flame is active, he is described as seeming less human than divine. 83

Personality

Su Qingyang is calm, direct, and largely indifferent to rank, etiquette, and inherited privilege. He treats the possibility of becoming a prince as secondary to cultivation, knowledge, and the freedom to pursue his own interests. 1 49 53

He is intensely curious about hidden phenomena, including Red Hair, Demon Ghosts, ancient sects, and the Four Unknowns. Rather than retreating from dangerous unknowns, he often investigates them personally and extracts answers from their agents. 6 47 71 84

His protectiveness toward those he considers his own contrasts with his ruthlessness toward enemies. He gives Liu Qingni protection and backing, but kills or interrogates hostile cultivators with little hesitation. 36 47 73

“No matter what problem you encounter, if it can be solved by force, then it is not a problem.” 73

Abilities & Skills

Blood and Qi Martial Path

Su Qingyang practices the Ten Lords Ten Emperors Blood-Tempering Art, a perfected version of the ordinary Blood-Tempering Art that he expanded to support thirteen Qi-Blood Breakthroughs. 2

• Possesses immense pure-yang blood qi, capable of crushing Houtian and Innate opponents through pressure alone. 5 36
• His blood qi can form destructive force pillars, Blood Flame, and massive physical manifestations. 5 8 31
• His body resists poison; Cultivation-Destroying Powder is treated as nourishment by his furnace-like organs. 20
• Early in his cultivation, further breakthroughs required rare herbs and vast blood-energy replenishment to avoid bodily collapse. 2
• His fifth transformation grants a quality associated with continuous renewal and near-immortality. 73

Formless Qi Weapon Body-Tempering Art

After reaching the Mercury-Blood Realm, Su Qingyang developed the Formless Qi Weapon Body-Tempering Art, which forges weapons from his own blood and qi while further tempering his body. 17

• Creates two condensed crimson blade qi weapons from his arms. 17
• The weapons can extend twelve to thirteen meters and cut through stone, earth, and deep water. 17
• Can be summoned and withdrawn at will without visible delay. 17
• Their sharpness and power scale with the quality and quantity of his qi and blood. 17

Blood Flame and Scarlet-Gold Glazed Flame

His Blood Flame manifests the pure-yang vitality within his body and is a primary means of purging or overwhelming hostile forces. 8 31

• Used Blood Flame to fill Lin Muqian's hidden chamber and confront the blackish-red curse remnants. 8
• His Phoenix-Chasing Shadowless technique creates a gigantic Blood Flame phoenix that destroyed Yan Shengheng's sword phantom. 31
• After his fifth breakthrough, he combined Blood Flame and Golden Flame into Scarlet-Gold Glazed Flame. 83
• The Scarlet-Gold Glazed Flame burns away Red Hair within his body and can remain active to suppress its regrowth. 83
• Within its influence, he believes he can prevent other martial artists from drawing upon heaven and earth's power. 83

Martial Techniques

Su Qingyang routinely deduces or creates techniques suited to his unusual physique rather than relying solely on inherited martial arts. 2 38

• Phoenix-Chasing Shadowless — A Blood Flame phoenix strike that overwhelms enemies through extreme speed and crushing fist intent. 31
• Hundred Calamities Fist — A punch technique that defeated the master of Lovesickness Tower and generated a shockwave capable of cutting through mountains. 92
• Azure Dragon Blood-Burning Art — An explosive blood-burning secret art used at full force against Tian You. 66
• Blood-burning secret art — A self-created technique that manifests multiple layers of burning vitality and alerted Eunuch Huang to his hidden strength. 38

Soul-Mesmerizing Heart-Confounding Art

A mental interrogation art originally designed around inner force and later adapted for use through blood-and-qi-derived aura. 31

• Can suppress a target's consciousness and compel answers. 26 31
• Used to uncover Blood Shadow Tower's involvement in the Purple Pavilion Manor poisonings. 31
• Can affect spirit bodies, allowing him to interrogate Wu Zhixi after her physical death. 71
• Requires delicate control; excessive force can shatter the target's soul or cause the interrogation to fail. 31 71

Perception and Comprehension

Su Qingyang's perception extends beyond ordinary martial senses, while his comprehension allows him to rapidly analyze and improve techniques. 2 6

• Can perceive hidden killing intent and distinguish vital auras, exposing Yan Shengheng despite his disguise. 29
• Can see supernatural entities and phenomena invisible to ordinary people, including Lin Muqian's remnant and spirit bodies. 3 71
• Identified the Red Hair as a curse-like threat and later determined that it formed from microscopic particles of heaven and earth. 6 83
• Recognized that the Martial Dao Visualization Diagram was a “recipe” designed to mutate martial artists into food for an unseen existence. 84

Visualization Diagram Abilities

By examining the sinister Martial Dao Visualization Diagram, Su Qingyang comprehended several so-called divine abilities. 84

• Antelope Evasion — Allows rapid movement across walls, roofs, air, and hazardous terrain. 84
• Copper Skin Iron Bones — Greatly enhances bodily toughness and charging power. 84
• Thousand-Scent Tracking — Detects and distinguishes scents across immense distances. 84
• Tiger Roar Soul-Shaking — Uses bodily ferocity to intimidate and destabilize weaker minds. 84
• As Handy as an Arm — Grants immediate practical understanding of weapons placed in his hands. 84
• These abilities carry corruptive power that gradually mutates their user into a mindless flesh-and-blood beast. 84

Equipment

• Black God Halberd — A pitch-black heavy halberd recovered from Lin Muqian's hidden chamber. It can withstand part of Su Qingyang's immense power and has been used to cleave mountains, defeat assassins, and severely injure Qin Wushe. 8 15 44
• Transforming armor — Taken from the master of Lovesickness Tower after his death. It can become azure armor, increases Su Qingyang's speed by thirty percent, and wards off part of the Red Hair's malice. 92
• Blood Jade — Protective jade tokens he gives to trusted allies, including Liu Qingni and Han Jiangyue, for use in emergencies. 36 97
• God-Shocking Token — A credential tied to entry into a secret realm; Su Qingyang studies its relationship to Red Hair and other hidden phenomena. 34 36
• Storage ring — Recovered from Lin Muqian's cave dwelling alongside the Black God Halberd. 8

Relationships

• Liu Qingni — Secret Bureau agent who found him in Spirit Peak County and escorted him to the capital. She becomes a trusted investigator and subordinate after he takes command of the Secret Bureau. 1 35 67 73
• Lin You'er — Daughter of his neighbor Lin Shan. Su Qingyang treats her with familial affection, and Lin Shan trusts him to protect his wife and daughter if needed. 2 3
• Su Yueji — His elder sister of the same mother. She worries deeply for his safety and regrets bringing him back from the mortal world. 24
