Background / History

Hai Bo Dong was one of the three founders of the Mite'er Family and a renowned Dou Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire. At some point, Queen Medusa sealed his Battle Qi with a snake-mark seal, forcing him into hiding for over a decade. He operated the modest Ancient Map shop in Desert City, where he continued drawing maps while concealing his identity. 41 56 65

He refused Lei Luo's initial request to return to the family. Hai believed that revealing his weakened state would invite hostile forces to prey on the Mite'er Family's wealth and endanger Miter Tengshan, who could not protect the family alone. 41

Lei Luo identified him through his ice attribute and the powerful seal within him, then promised to secure a Calamity-Breaking Pill within half a year. Though initially impatient, Hai became hopeful after seeing Lei Luo's Heavenly Flame and learning that the young man was already a third-rank alchemist. 41 42

After Lei Luo obtained the pill, Hai carefully inspected it before consuming it. The pill enabled him to force Medusa's seal from his body and reclaim the Dou Emperor realm. Grateful for Lei Luo's help, he gave him an ancient map fragment that he had copied repeatedly without uncovering its secret. 56

Hai accompanied Lei Luo toward the Snake-People Tribe in pursuit of a Heavenly Flame. He guarded Lei Luo while the latter refined the Green Lotus Core Flame, later restraining Xiao Yan with ice barriers so Lei Luo could seize it. Hai and Lei Luo subsequently fought together against Xiao Yan and Yao Chen. 59 60 62 64

Upon returning to the Imperial Capital, Hai was received with reverence by the Mite'er Family. He declined Miter Tengshan's proposal that he retake the patriarch's position, arguing that his age and Lei Luo's talent made family administration unsuitable for either of them. 65

Appearance

Hai Bo Dong is an elderly man with white hair and a gaunt appearance, though his hands remain steady and powerful despite his age. During his years in Desert City, he dressed and behaved like an unremarkable map-shop owner. 41

• White-haired and visibly aged after years under Medusa's seal. 41 56
• Possesses sharp, vulture-like eyes and an intimidating presence when provoked. 41
• His ice-attributed Battle Qi can form pale-blue ice across a wide area. 56

Personality

Hai is initially cold, blunt, and highly guarded. He reacts harshly to strangers who intrude on his shop or question his circumstances, and years of hiding have made him suspicious enough to inspect even Lei Luo's Calamity-Breaking Pill before taking it. 41 56

Beneath this severity, he is deeply protective of the Mite'er Family. His refusal to return while sealed stems from concern that his vulnerability would expose the clan to its enemies. Once Lei Luo proves himself, Hai becomes openly affectionate and proud, treating him as an exceptional junior rather than merely a descendant. 41 42 56

He retains a warrior's ambition despite his age. After regaining his power, he readily joins Lei Luo's expedition for a Heavenly Flame and returns publicly to the Alchemist Convention partly to announce that the Ice Emperor is active once again. 56 82

Abilities & Skills

Ice-Attribute Battle Qi

Hai's Battle Qi is ice-attributed and remains formidable even when his cultivation is sealed.

• Generated enough cold within his map shop to cover it in ice crystals when agitated. 41
• Stabilized a collapsing underground chamber by freezing its structure after breaking Medusa's seal. 56
• Created an ice prison of massive ice blocks to restrain Xiao Yan. 59
• Used Mystic Ice Dragon Soar, condensing ice energy into a giant dragon to block Xiao Yan's escape. 60

Dou Emperor Combat

After recovering his realm, Hai can fly with Dou Qi Wings and contend with other high-level experts.

• Carried Lei Luo at full speed through the desert when Lei Luo could not keep pace. 57
• Held off Yao Chen-possessed Xiao Yan while Lei Luo collected the Green Lotus Core Flame. 59
• Fought alongside Lei Luo in an attempt to eliminate Xiao Yan after the flame's seizure. 60

Mapmaking

Hai spent his concealment in Desert City operating the Ancient Map shop and personally drawing maps. 41

• Possessed an ancient map fragment that he had copied hundreds or thousands of times without deciphering. 56
• Ultimately gave the fragment to Lei Luo after recognizing his interest in it. 56

Notable Items

• Calamity-Breaking Pill — Consumed to destroy Queen Medusa's seal and restore his Dou Emperor cultivation. 56
• Ancient map fragment — A scorched-yellow fragment from Hai's collection; he gifted it to Lei Luo before leaving Desert City. 56
• Purple Recovery Spirit Pill — Refined by Lei Luo to aid Hai's recovery from the long-term effects of his seal. 87 90

Relationships

• Lei Luo — Descendant and benefactor. Lei located Hai in Desert City, arranged the Calamity-Breaking Pill, and restored his strength; Hai later protects, praises, and accompanies him in battle. 41 56 59 64
• Miter Tengshan — Junior clan leader of the Mite'er Family. Tengshan reveres Hai as an ancestor and offers to return the patriarch's position to him, which Hai refuses. 65
• Queen Medusa — Former adversary who sealed Hai's Battle Qi for decades. Hai remains wary and fearful of her power after her return. 56 97
• Jia Xingtian — Fellow veteran Dou Emperor. Hai requests Jia Xingtian's aid should Lei Luo face danger against Lü Man. 72
• Xiao Yan and Yao Chen — Opponents during the conflict over the Green Lotus Core Flame; Hai imprisoned Xiao Yan in ice and joined Lei Luo in pursuing them. 59 60

“With a junior like you, the Miter Clan is bound to prosper!” 56

Trivia
