Appearance

Chu He presents himself as a polished corporate figure, first appearing in a black suit with a Celestial Pivot Industries badge. He later wears sharply tailored suits and white robes while commanding operations in the secret realm. 19 23 50

• Associated with Celestial Pivot Industries’ formal attire and insignia. 19
• Maintains a composed, professional façade before openly displaying rage when his schemes fail. 19 25
• Appears beside armed technicians, cybernetic assets, and black-armored soldiers rather than fighting alone. 25 47

Personality

Chu He is calculating, vindictive, and intensely acquisitive. His central objective is to seize Jiang Yuan’s Thunderfire Broken Sword and martial inheritance; he repeatedly employs sabotage, coercive contracts, surveillance, assassins, and hostage-taking rather than accepting a fair defeat. 19 26 34 49

He treats allies as disposable assets. After Song Xi loses with Celestial Pivot’s Armor-Breaker Type III Cybernetic Body, he publicly expels her and strips her resources to protect the company from accountability. He later drains Elder Gu’s power through a forced symbiotic technique to elevate himself, exposing his willingness to exploit even his own partner. 25 47

Abilities & Skills

Plundering Symbiotic Cultivation

A secret art that forcibly extracts yin energy from Elder Gu and merges it with Chu He’s own power.

• Propels him to the Early Qi Condensation Stage. 47
• Lets Elder Gu support his attacks through their linked yin-yang energy. 47
• The forcibly fused power repeatedly stagnates below Chu He’s elbow, creating a weakness Jiang Yuan identifies and strikes. 47
• Severing the energy connection cripples Chu He’s arm, disrupts his true qi, and inflicts severe backlash. 47 48

Bliss Soul-Devouring Formation

A major formation activated with Elder Gu’s assistance in Bliss Hall.

• Uses Elder Gu’s power as its foundation. 50
• Is presented as the Evil Union Sect’s “true foundation” against Jiang Yuan. 50
• Its effects and outcome remain unresolved at the end of the documented events. 50

Corporate Warfare and Sabotage

Chu He uses Celestial Pivot Industries’ technology, personnel, and influence to engineer advantages against Jiang Yuan.

• Bribed Zhou Hu with promised preparatory-class admission and a second-tier blood vitality potion in exchange for sabotaging the Advanced Gravity Chamber. 21
• Arranged the high-frequency vibration module in Song Xi’s Armor-Breaker Type III Cybernetic Body to bypass Jiang Yuan’s defensive reflection. 19 21
• Planted a high-power magnetic interference device beneath the selection tournament arena to slow Jiang Yuan and drag down his alloy sword. 22 23
• Deploys operatives equipped with Meridian-Sealing Light Nets and Short Staffs to suppress martial artists’ inner-force circulation. 41 48

Equipment and Assets

• Armor-Breaker Type III Cybernetic Body — Celestial Pivot product supplied to Song Xi; contains a high-frequency vibration core intended to counter Jiang Yuan’s reflection ability. 19 21
• High-Power Magnetic Interference Device — concealed beneath the main arena to impair Jiang Yuan during the tournament final. 22 23
• Meridian-Sealing Light Net and Short Staffs — anti-martial-artist equipment used by Celestial Pivot assassination squads in the secret realm. 41 48
• Black keycard — internal Celestial Pivot access card used by Zhou Hu to alter gravity-chamber permissions and destroy its communications system. 21 30
• Celestial Pivot combat squads and cyborgs — armed forces deployed during the ambush at Maintenance Gate Three. 34

Relationships

• Jiang Yuan — Primary enemy and target. Chu He seeks Jiang Yuan’s Thunderfire Broken Sword and martial inheritance, arranging repeated sabotage, ambushes, and traps to obtain them. 19 26 34 47 50
• Song Xi — Celestial Pivot-backed fighter equipped with the Armor-Breaker Type III to defeat Jiang Yuan. After her loss, Chu He expels her from the company and revokes her support. 19 25
• Zhou Hu — Recruited pawn. Chu He supplied him with a black keycard and promised rewards for crippling Jiang Yuan before the selection tournament. 21
• Zhao Qingya — Celestial Pivot intelligence agent who surveils Jiang Yuan and reports his growing strength to Chu He. 26
• Elder Gu — Evil Union Sect Grand Elder and combat partner. Chu He drains her yin energy to power Plundering Symbiotic Cultivation and later activates the Bliss Soul-Devouring Formation with her help. 45 47 50
• Steward He and the Evil Union Sect — Collaborators in secret-realm operations involving captive cultivators, spirit-crystal mining, and the Yin-Yang Convergence Pool. 42 45
• Guo Hongtao — Jiang Yuan’s friend and a public obstacle to Chu He’s schemes; Guo exposes Chu He’s gravity-chamber sabotage before the tournament crowd. 25

Story Role / Major Arcs

Selection Tournament Conspiracy

Chu He arrives as Celestial Pivot Industries’ regional representative and equips Song Xi with an Armor-Breaker Type III Cybernetic Body designed to defeat Jiang Yuan. He offers an openly one-sided wager: if Jiang Yuan loses, Celestial Pivot receives the broken sword and access to his living tissue. 19

He escalates by bribing Zhou Hu to sabotage the gravity chamber and burying a magnetic interference device below the tournament arena. The interference slows Jiang Yuan during the final, enabling Song Xi to attempt an illegal fatal strike. 21 22 23

After Song Xi’s defeat, Chu He tries to void the wager and seize Jiang Yuan by force. Jiang Yuan exposes the buried device, while Guo Hongtao reveals the gravity-chamber plot; the New Star Investigation Group intervenes and forces Chu He to withdraw. 25

Old Star Pursuit

Humiliated, Chu He orders Celestial Pivot operatives to surround the old district and capture Jiang Yuan, dead or alive, for his sword and inheritance. 26

He later launches a major ambush at Maintenance Gate Three as Jiang Yuan prepares to depart Old Star, deploying armed squads and two Meridian Opening Realm cyborgs. Jiang Yuan defeats the squads, and Chu He flees by spacecraft rather than confront him directly. 34

Secret Realm Conflict

Celestial Pivot forces pursue Jiang Yuan into the Twin Star Secret Realm, where they use meridian-sealing technology while working alongside the Evil Union Sect around a Yin-Yang Spirit Crystal vein. The alliance is tied to human experimentation and the use of talented cultivators as ritual materials. 41 42 45

Chu He personally selects captives as “Yin Guides” and “Yang Furnaces” for the Yin-Yang Convergence Pool operation. He also reaches an agreement with Elder Gu to support the Evil Union Sect’s planned annexation of the Pure Cultivation Academy. 45

First Direct Confrontation

Chu He blocks Jiang Yuan’s group in a mountain hollow and demands the Thunderfire Broken Sword. He forcibly advances to Early Qi Condensation through Plundering Symbiotic Cultivation, but Jiang Yuan exploits the technique’s instability after breaking through to Qi Condensation himself. 47

Jiang Yuan severs Chu He and Elder Gu’s energy connection, leaving Chu He severely injured and unable to stop the group’s retreat. 47 48

Hostage Crisis and Final Trap

Chu He captures seventeen Pure Cultivation Academy disciples and threatens to sacrifice them at the Yin-Yang Convergence Pool unless Jiang Yuan comes alone. Jiang Yuan instead organizes a three-pronged assault, using himself as bait while Su Yan attacks the southern gate and Guo Hongtao leads a tunnel operation. 49 50

At Bliss Hall, Chu He confronts Jiang Yuan alongside Elder Gu and activates the Bliss Soul-Devouring Formation. 50
