Background

Hai Bodong was once the Ice Emperor, a renowned Dou Emperor and one of the Jia Ma Empire’s Ten Great Experts. He belonged to the Mite’er Family and retained sufficient authority within it to command clan head Mite’er Teng Shan. 157 162 173

Around twenty years before his meeting with Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong encountered Queen Medusa in the Tagor Desert. Medusa sealed his cultivation, forcing him into decades of obscurity and leaving him unable to use his former power. 158 160

While sealed, he operated a modest map shop in Mo City. He studied fragments of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Remnant Map and searched for a way to remove Medusa’s seal. 161

Appearance

Hai Bodong usually presents himself as a withered, ice-faced old mapmaker, concealing the identity and bearing of the former Ice Emperor.

• Has an aged, withered face and pale-blue or azure eyes. 158 197
• Commonly works behind a counter crowded with maps and drawing tools. 157 158
• His ice-attributed Dou Qi can freeze objects instantly, including maps thrown toward him. 158
• Once his strength returns, he can manifest Dou Qi Wings and fight in the air as a Dou Emperor. 193

Personality

Hai Bodong’s former reputation was built on a cold, domineering temperament. After recovering his power, he briefly considers reclaiming his map fragments from Xiao Yan by force, but experience and caution overcome his pride when he recognizes that Xiao Yan’s true strength is difficult to measure. 161

He is blunt, irreverent, and fond of mocking old acquaintances such as Fama and Jia Xingtian. He can also be politically observant, testing Xiao Yan over Han Gu’s disappearance and recognizing the strategic value of an alliance with a sixth-grade alchemist. 162 180 181

Despite his initial distrust, Hai Bodong proves loyal once he accepts Xiao Yan as an ally. He protects the Xiao Clan and Mite’er Family during the Misty Cloud Sect’s invasion, refuses to abandon Xiao Yan against overwhelming enemies, and later offers sincere advice regarding Xiao Yan’s cultivation. 195 197 202 209

Abilities & Skills

Ice-Attribute Dou Qi

Hai Bodong commands exceptionally cold ice-attributed Dou Qi, which remains dangerous even while his cultivation is sealed.

• Used Ice Condensation Mirror and Ice Spirit Armor as defensive techniques while still sealed. 125 126
• Can create powerful ice barriers and construct large-scale ice attacks. 161 194

• While sealed, summoned two ice dragons with power approaching the Dou Wang level. 125 126
• As a Five-Star Dou Emperor, created nine enormous ice dragons against Jia Xingtian. 193
• Jia Xingtian countered the nine dragons with Mountain Breaker, demonstrating the technique’s limits against a superior Dou Emperor. 193

Dou Emperor Combat Experience

Although his seal reduced his cultivation, Hai Bodong retained the instincts and techniques of a former Dou Emperor.

• Recognized the threat posed by Xiao Yan’s Bone Chilling Flame and chose negotiation over a potentially costly fight. 161
• Served as the principal frontline combatant in Xiao Yan’s plan against Jia Xingtian. 193 194
• Used a deliberate feint to expose Jia Xingtian’s defenses, creating the opening for Xiao Yan’s Soul Greatsword. 194 195

Story Role / Major Arcs

Mo City Map Bargain

Xiao Yan exposes Hai Bodong’s sealed condition after confronting him over a remnant-map fragment. Rather than continue fighting, they agree that Xiao Yan will refine a sixth-tier pill in exchange for the fragment and information. 125 126

Restoration of the Ice Emperor

Hai Bodong supplies the rare Breaking Evil Pill formula and ingredients, while Xiao Yan refines the pill despite two failed attempts. The pill removes Medusa’s seal and restores Hai Bodong’s Dou Emperor cultivation. 159 160

After his power returns, Hai Bodong briefly considers attacking Xiao Yan to reclaim the map. He instead honors their agreement, gives Xiao Yan the remaining fragment, and accepts the value of a long-term alliance with him. 161

Protector of the Xiao Clan

Hai Bodong agrees to watch over the Xiao Clan and monitor the royal family while Xiao Yan travels. In return, Xiao Yan promises to refine the Recovery Purple Pill after Hai Bodong gathers its ingredients. 162 189

Conflict with the Jia Ma Imperial Family

Hai Bodong stands beside Xiao Yan against Jia Xingtian, despite their old friendship. He fights Jia directly, follows Xiao Yan’s plan, and feigns an attack to create the decisive opening for Xiao Yan’s soul attack. 193 195

Misty Cloud Sect Crisis

When Yun Shan and the Soul Hall threaten Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong initially refuses to retreat despite the danger. After Medusa intervenes, he returns to the Mite’er Family estate and prevents the clan from surrendering Xiao Yi Xian to the Misty Cloud Sect. 195 197

He later defends the estate against multiple Dou Wang elders, continuing to resist even when the Misty Cloud Sect attempts to overwhelm him through numbers and sacrificial tactics. 202 206

Aftermath of the Imperial Upheaval

Following the collapse of the Misty Cloud Sect and imperial family, Hai Bodong remains a close adviser to Xiao Yan.
