Power Progression

Background

Qing Yanjing was born into the Qing Lineage, one of the Buddha Ancient Clan's three main lineages. As the bearer of the Eight Divine Veins, she was hailed as the Buddha Goddess. After reaching Earth Sovereign Great Perfection, she lost her father—the Qing Lineage's patriarch—to an accident; his death began the lineage's decline. She left the clan to undergo trials and seek a way to restore its standing. 1

While concealing her identity during her travels, Qing Yanjing became a target of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan. She was ambushed by a force including a Profound Demon Emperor and several Nether Demon Emperors. She killed three Nether Demon Emperors, trapped the remaining enemies with a spirit formation, and escaped to the Hundred Spirit Continent. 14

Forced to attempt an Immortal-Grade breakthrough while fleeing, Qing Yanjing failed and lost all of her spiritual energy. Besieged by spirit beasts afterward, she was drawn through a spatial rift created by Meng Chen's summoning and arrived on the Dou Qi Continent. The lower plane also shielded her from her clan, whom she feared might seize her Eight Divine Veins if they discovered her weakened state. 2

Initially summoned as Meng Chen's Dao protector, Qing Yanjing could not fulfill that duty at full capacity. After accepting his account of a future mission against the Heavenly Evil God, she chose to train him personally and accepted him as her sole disciple. 2 15

Appearance

Qing Yanjing carries herself with an ethereal, noble bearing that other characters immediately find difficult to place in a place such as Wutan City. Her face is generally hidden behind a white veil, but her violet eyes and refined dress remain conspicuous. She later appears without the veil when Meng Chen introduces her to Yafei in Chen City. 1 8 10 79

• Long black hair, worn with a gilded branch-shaped divine crown. 1
• Amethyst-violet eyes, often described as resembling a starry river. 2 10
• White veil concealing most of her face during her earlier appearances. 1 79
• White-and-blue long dress with gold detailing and gauze-like sleeves. 1
• A graceful yet notably curvaceous silhouette. 1 26

Personality

Qing Yanjing is dignified, restrained, and strongly guided by responsibility. Although weakened and unable to immediately protect Meng Chen, she treats his rescue as a debt and insists on compensating him with the resources and knowledge available to her. 2 3 5

She is protective to the point of ruthlessness when Meng Chen is threatened. She eliminates the bandits who target them, dismisses Ling Ying's covert intrusion without concern, and nearly kills Hai Bodong for threatening her disciple. She later defends Chen City against three attacking factions and the Soul Hall despite her irritation with Meng Chen's conduct. 3 19 26 85 86 107

Despite her composed exterior, Qing Yanjing is emotionally guarded and inexperienced with intimacy. She repeatedly tries to preserve the boundaries of her master-disciple relationship, even as concern for Meng Chen develops into jealousy toward Yafei and confusion over her own attachment. After Meng Chen confesses his love, she first asks for time to consider it, then stops fleeing from their closeness. 14 20 56 72 73 92

Her severity as a teacher persists alongside that affection. She warns Meng Chen against reckless body refinement and later holds him responsible for his conduct toward Xiao Yi Xian, while allowing the weakened Xiao Yi Xian to rest. 71 101

Abilities & Skills

Eight Divine Veins and Spiritual Energy

Qing Yanjing possesses the Eight Divine Veins, the talent that made her the Buddha Ancient Clan's once-in-ten-thousand-years goddess. Her spiritual energy was dispersed after her failed breakthrough, but she gradually rebuilds it on the Dou Qi Continent. By the crisis at Chen City, she has reached the Heaven Fusion Stage. 1 2 7 79

• Her remaining physical body was initially comparable to the Divine Soul Realm. 2
• Even while weakened, she could kill a Three-Star Fighter and his bandit group with ease. 3
• Her recovery is severely limited by the lower plane's weak origin energy and inefficient conversion into spiritual energy. 2 7
• She retains enough expertise to overwhelm ordinary Great Battle Masters and to be mistaken for a much higher-level local expert. 10 19
• At the Heaven Fusion Stage, she states that she cannot defeat a Battle Venerable through cultivation alone, but can do so by drawing on a powerful Spirit Array. 79

Spiritual Formation Mastery

Qing Yanjing is an Immortal-tier Spiritual Formation Grandmaster who adapts Great Thousand World formation methods to the laws and materials of the Dou Qi Continent. 13 14

• Constructed a Second-Level Essence-Gathering Formation across the Meng Residence using water- and wood-attributed magic cores, cold jade iron essence, and spiritual seals. 13
• The formation more than doubled the residence's concentration of heaven-and-earth energy. 14
• Planned an improved Eight Desolations Burning Flame Formation to use the fire energy at the Green Lotus Core Flame's source against Han Feng and his allies. 28
• Established a Fifth-Tier Essence-Gathering Formation that helped the Gold and Silver Elders advance to Battle Ancestor. 58
• Formation work can consume nearly all of her recovered spiritual energy when she must account for unfamiliar local laws and materials. 14
• Prepared Chen City's defensive Spirit Array using materials gathered by Yafei. Against the besieging forces, it disrupted their control of heaven-and-earth energy, dissolved attacks, immobilized the assembled experts, and killed Xuan Qiu by channeling energy into his body. 79 80 85 86
• Set up an array in the magma region beneath Jia Nan Academy's Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. She later took control of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame's Heaven Refining Ancient Array and assisted Meng Chen in subduing the flame. 95 112
• Reinforced the containment of Xiao Yi Xian's erupting poison mist with a Spirit Array. Against the Soul Hall, another array protected Chen City, prevented Protectors from using their Dou Techniques, and pinned down Elder Mu Gu. 100 107
• Created a Spirit-Gathering Formation around the City Lord's Mansion that drew natural energy from hundreds of miles away for Meng Chen's cultivation. She also helped guard him with an array while he entered the Yellow Springs Demon Saint's stele trial. 108 109

Spatial and Sealing Techniques

Her remaining spiritual techniques remain dangerous even after her fall in cultivation. 10 26

• Shattered the surrounding space and severely injured Hai Bodong when he threatened Meng Chen. 26
• Used the Fotu World-Suppressing Seal to imprison Hai Bodong's body and Dou Qi before Meng Chen intervened. 26
• Dismissed Ling Ying after his inability to sense her aura led him to mistake her for a Battle Venerable or even a Dou Saint. 19
• Used the Small Pagoda's spatial power to collect the Green Lotus Core Flame and its lotus pedestal from an underground magma lake. 28

Ancient Battle Emperor Knowledge

Qing Yanjing collected cultivation techniques used by ancient Battle Emperors out of curiosity about their role in the war against the Extraterritorial Evil Clan. 2

• Retrieved six Ancient Emperor Techniques from the Small Pagoda and gave them all to Meng Chen. 5
• Inscribed the high-grade Profound Rank Profound Flame Palm onto a scroll and authenticated it with her spiritual energy and the Small Pagoda's mark. 7
• Her knowledge preserves records stating that Tuo She, the last known Battle Emperor, was killed more than seven thousand years earlier. 2

Dragonblood Handling

Qing Yanjing can precisely manipulate dragon blood and guide dangerous body-refinement processes. 18 48

• Drew a hair-thin trace of dragon blood from the Dragonblood Treasure Vial and divided it into over a hundred smaller wisps for safer use. 18
• Assisted Meng Chen when excessive dragonblood energy threatened to damage his meridians, using a secret technique to guide its refinement. 48 49
• Guided further dragonblood tempering through a cultivation array, directing spiritual energy through Meng Chen's body to strengthen and purify his physique. 71 72
• Continued supporting his cultivation despite concern over his dangerous methods, helping prepare the Spirit-Gathering Formation for his later body, soul, and Dou Qi training. 108 109

Equipment / Items

• Small Pagoda — A high-tier Sacred Artifact modeled after the Buddha Ancient Clan's ancestral tower. It functions as Qing Yanjing's Spatial Sacred Artifact; storage is described as its least significant ability. Qing Yanjing also uses it as a place for secluded cultivation, while Meng Chen carries it during their travels. 5 23 28
• Ancient Emperor Technique collection — Six Battle Emperor-era cultivation scrolls personally selected by Qing Yanjing's father and later entrusted to Meng Chen. 5
• True Dragon Essence Blood — Blood taken from an Earth Sovereign Great Perfection True Dragon she once killed. She gives it to Meng Chen for his body-refining cultivation. 17

Relationships

• Meng Chen — Her rescuer, summoned Dao protector partner, and only disciple. Qing Yanjing pledges to protect and train him for his future mission, though their relationship becomes emotionally complicated. Following his confession, she asks for time rather than rejecting him; she later accepts his closeness, while continuing to guide and discipline him. 2 15 56 72 73 92 99 101
• Qinglin — A girl under Meng Chen's protection who calls Qing Yanjing “Aunt Qing.” Qing Yanjing responds warmly and treats her with gentle affection. She protects Qinglin during Chen City's siege and later helps guard Meng Chen alongside her. 28 81 86 109
• Hai Bodong — Threatened Meng Chen during their first meeting and was nearly executed by Qing Yanjing. He later serves the Divine Court after Meng Chen chooses to recruit him. 26
• Yafei — Meng Chen's ally and Chen City's City Lord. Qing Yanjing repeatedly reacts with jealousy to Meng Chen's association with her, while insisting that her concern is only for his cultivation. After meeting Yafei formally, she recognizes her intelligence and competence and works with her to prepare Chen City's defenses. 17 56 58 79 80
• Ling Ying — An Ancient Clan subordinate who covertly investigated the Meng Residence; Qing Yanjing ordered him to leave after he revealed himself. 19
• Gold and Silver Elders — Qing Yanjing formed the Essence-Gathering Formation that enabled their breakthrough to Battle Ancestor, strengthening their ability to protect Chen City and Yafei. 58

Notable Quotes

“Before you truly grow strong, I will protect your path. I will never allow all your efforts to come to nothing.” 15

“If there is anything you do not understand about cultivation, you may ask me.” 14

“I have currently recovered to the Heaven Fusion Stage. If I were to directly confront a Battle Venerable through cultivation alone, my current state would still not be enough. But if I borrow the power of a Spirit Array, then it will not be a problem.” 79
