Background
Boundless Heavenly Venerable once targeted Wang Bo, a Chaotic Body who had reached the Eighth Heavenly Layer of the Quasi-Emperor Realm. He killed Wang Bo’s original Dao Body, extracted its Chaos Origin, and used the remains to establish the Big Dipper formation. Though later legends claimed this battle killed him, Boundless stated that he deliberately concealed his survival and entered the Chaotic Dragon Nest to pursue another lifetime. 28 247 248
Within the Chaotic Dragon Nest, he attempted to use Wang Bo’s Chaos Origin to become a Chaotic Body. Heavenly punishment interrupted the process, while Dark Strangeness concealed in the remains of an ancient True Dragon tried to possess him. He resisted rather than surrender his body, then refined the True Dragon’s bones and Immortal Dao Runes into himself; Li Ming later removed the remaining corruption. 27 28
In gratitude, Boundless entrusted Li Ming with the Myriad Dragon Nest, Chaotic Dragon Nest, and other resources. He also transmitted the Boundless Heavenly Art, Nine Secrets: Dou, methods of True Dragon transformation, Immortal Dao Rune comprehension, and his insights into living another lifetime. 28 29
Longevity Research
Boundless publicly introduced the Saint Spirit Transformation Method as an alternative to becoming a Dark Supreme. The method converts a cultivator into a Sacred Spirit Stone Embryo while preserving a trace of the Primordial Spirit, potentially repairing Immortal Platform damage and granting a future lifetime without a Dark Turmoil. 42 43
His first public attempt required the Sacred Spirit Divine Mountain and the Reincarnation Sea’s Dragon Vein. Although the embryo awakened and demonstrated the method’s viability, the End of the Mythology Era and Heaven’s Will Blade prevented him from completing a stable rebirth. 42 43 107
After the failure, he used formations in the Reincarnation Sea to sacrifice five sealed Dark Supremes, their Dao Fruits, origins, and blood to fuel a Nirvana ritual. The ritual restored him only partially, forcing him to pursue survival as a Weapon Deity. 107
Appearance
Boundless Heavenly Venerable’s appearance changes with each transformation. After Li Ming cleansed his Dark Strangeness, he appeared as a serene young man around twenty years old, with a faint dragon aura. 28
- In his declining third lifetime, most of his body petrified; only his head remained flesh and blood. 42
- His Sacred Spirit transformation reduced him to a stone embryo infused with Nine-Colored Immortal Light. 43
- His Weapon Deity forms resemble his youthful human appearance and can manifest from the Boundless Divine Cauldron. 112 113
- During the Eternal Grand Dream, his body appears crystal-like and shifts between illusion and reality. 149 244
- When facing Wang Bo, he resembles a vacant corpse suspended between life and death, yet can still unleash overwhelming power. 247 248
Personality
Boundless is driven by an unusually compassionate interpretation of longevity. He seeks immortality not only for himself, but to free living beings from suffering, and he openly shared his Sacred Spirit method in hopes of reducing future Dark Turmoils. 28 42
He is also exceptionally determined and adaptive. Repeated failures, corruption, petrification, and the danger of losing himself as a Weapon Deity do not end his pursuit of the Red Dust Immortal Path. 107 108 150 158
His benevolence does not make him harmless or passive. To fuel his failed rebirth, he sacrificed five imprisoned Dark Supremes through his formations; in battle, he treats even the Chaos Heavenly Emperor with cold superiority. 107 248

Formations and Sacrificial Rituals
His formation mastery was formidable enough to threaten Li Ming inside the Chaotic Dragon Nest. 27
- Refined Wang Bo’s former body into the Big Dipper formation. 28 247
- Constructed formations in the Reincarnation Sea that could refine sealed Dark Supremes, their Dao Fruits, and their origins into rebirth fuel. 107
Weapon Deity and Eternal Grand Dream
After becoming a cauldron’s Weapon Deity, Boundless cultivated through the Dao of Interlinked Illusion and Reality and the Eternal Grand Dream. 108 150
- The Eternal Grand Dream was intended to restore his body and Primordial Spirit and potentially lead to True Immortality. 150
- His connection to the cauldron risks permanent assimilation into a true Weapon Deity. 150

- His fifth-lifetime peak attack was stated to be capable of killing a Crippled Immortal. 159
