Power Progression

History

Li Changqing drew the Lion King out by claiming to have a Transformation Pill. The Lion King agreed to trade his cave for it, but became deferential when Li flew without wings and demonstrated his sword’s power. Li admitted that he had not yet made the pill and demanded service as his mount in the meantime. Fearing for his life, the Lion King accepted and called him “Master” 94 95 96.

Li took over the cave to cultivate. Over the following year, the Lion King gathered medicinal ingredients for him, planted and watched over the Blue Silver Emperor seed, and received pills that strengthened both himself and his son. His initial submission developed into willing service as he came to expect further rewards from Li 96 97.

Li eventually gave him the Transformation Pill. After taking human form, the Lion King continued to serve as Li’s mount and accompanied him to the Cloud Mist Sect. Before a dangerous journey to a Hall of Souls branch, he entrusted his inexperienced son to Xiao Yan 122 127 132 135.

Appearance

In beast form, the Lion King is massive and covered in purple crystals 94.

• A fanged lion’s head and a fiery-red spiral horn wreathed in purple flame 94.
• Broad purple wings surrounded by flame, purple slit-pupiled eyes, and heavy paws 94.
• After taking the Transformation Pill, the form of a burly man capable of manifesting purple Dou Qi wings 122.

Personality

The Lion King is proud of his position and quick to take offense at disrespect. Yun Yun’s lofty manner turns a possible trade for Purple Spirit Crystal into a confrontation. He is also perceptive in battle, recognizing her attempt to use a tornado as cover for escape 100 101.

He puts survival ahead of pride when faced with Li Changqing’s superior power. Later, pills and the fulfilled promise of transformation strengthen his allegiance, though he also uses conspicuous flattery to seek rewards. He is protective of his son and weighs the boy’s safety before leaving him with Xiao Yan 95 96 122 123 132.
