Background and History

Mu Ziqing is an Inner Hall disciple of the Myriad Phenomena Hall. Her grandfather, Great Elder Mu Changfeng, encourages her to master the Nine Swords of the Azure Lotus as a foundation for Sword Intent before studying the Sword Monument 45 101.

While traveling, she saved Xu Hongying from bandits and helped her begin cultivating. Mu Ziqing later arranged a test that revealed Hongying’s rare Fire-Attribute Martial Soul 50.

Mu Ziqing first noticed Qin Hao when he reached the entry level of the difficult Azure Lotus sword art in moments—a feat that had taken her three days. After the Sea Ancestor ordered that Qin Hao be guided to the Sword Monument, she sought an opportunity to approach him 45 102 106. They met face-to-face at the Mission Hall, where she added a 2,000-point bonus from her own resources to his mission rewards and offered to lead him to the monument 111.

After returning from a long mission, Mu Ziqing learned that the Lei family threatened Qin Hao’s family in Tianshui City. Unable to leave the Hall herself, she asked Jiang Ni to intervene 234 243. She later rescued Dong Fei from pursuers in the Ink Forest Mountains and went after Jiang Ni, whom Fang Wenlong had trapped 256 267.

In the Nether Demon World, illusory flames around Mu Ziqing shielded her from the Jade Steps’ pressure and helped her escape their illusions. She reached the Nether Demon Palace ahead of the other climbers 355 356. Ji Yue subsequently identified her Martial Soul as the Phoenix Martial Soul, ranked twenty-eighth on the Supreme Martial Soul Rankings. Because the Southern Reach lacked the spiritual energy needed for its full awakening, Mu Ziqing chose to leave for the Primordial Domain and pursue cultivation at the Hundred Immortals Palace 376 377. She departed with Ji Yue, Yu Jingyi, and Tang Huan after promising to reunite with Qin Hao 378.

Appearance

Mu Ziqing is described as a young woman with long black hair, bright eyes, and a delicate face; she frequently wears purple 111 242.

• Distinctive features: Smooth, fair skin and two small dimples when she smiles 111.
• Later manifestation: Illusory flames surround her when her Phoenix Martial Soul’s power emerges 355.

Personality

Mu Ziqing is curious about unusual sword talent and willing to support it: Qin Hao’s rapid progress prompts her to seek him out, reward him, and guide him to the Sword Monument 45 106 111. She is protective of her friends, acting to help the Qin family and entering the Ink Forest Mountains to rescue Dong Fei and Jiang Ni 234 256.

She rejects Bu Yunfeng’s persistent advances directly. Around Qin Hao, she becomes more playful and sometimes shy, but ultimately chooses the Primordial Domain rather than let her attachment to him limit her cultivation 45 242 243 377.

Abilities & Skills

Swordsmanship

Mu Ziqing trains in the Nine Swords of the Azure Lotus and studies the Sword Monument. Her perfected Sword Intent allows her to guide Qin Hao, while their sparring gives her a chance to study his fused-force sword domain 102 245 254 255.

• Mastered the Azure Lotus art’s eighth sword and began the ninth 102.
• Reached the Sword Monument’s fifty-second move 255.
• Had not broken through to the Sword Heart Realm when she and Qin Hao discussed that threshold 297.

Fire Force and Phoenix Martial Soul

A fire aura appeared in Mu Ziqing’s Sword Intent before she understood its cause. After Qin Hao suggested studying Fire Force, she brought it to grand completion in three days 245 254.

• Her illusory flames held back the Jade Steps’ pressure and let her escape illusions almost as soon as they appeared 355.
• Ji Yue identified her Martial Soul as the Phoenix Martial Soul, ranked twenty-eighth among the Supreme Martial Souls 376.
• Its power had begun to manifest but had not fully awakened; Ji Yue said awakening it required the richer spiritual energy of the Primordial Domain 376.
