True Identity and Dao Sanctuary Appearance
Master is not introduced as an independent elder, but as a disguise used by Su Bai’s Second True Self. Su Bai sends this incarnation to the Floating Island to lecture at the Heavenly Venerable Dao Sanctuary, creating the impression that another distinct Heavenly Venerable has emerged from the Heavenly Dao Sect 291.
An Integration Grand Venerable secretly records Master’s appearance and sends the footage to the Heavenly Palace. The recording contributes to its Heavenly Venerables’ debate over whether the Heavenly Dao Sect truly possesses hundreds of experts of their rank 291.
Part in Su Bai’s Deception
Master’s appearance forms part of a sustained campaign in which Su Bai’s Second True Self adopts a different Heavenly Venerable identity each day. The following day, it appears in a new blue-robed form rather than returning as Master. After 365 days without a repeated appearance, the Heavenly Palace accepts that the Heavenly Dao Sect has at least several hundred Heavenly Venerables, prompting one of its members to ask whether seeking peace is still possible 291.
