Power Progression

Background / History

Tang Yue leads the Clear Sky Sect and is Tang Chen’s father. After Tang Chen awakens a Clear Sky Hammer with Innate Full Soul Power, Tang Yue personally teaches him sect techniques and takes him to obtain his first Soul Ring. He supplies medicinal baths and specialized food, but reminds Tang Chen that sect resources cannot belong to him alone 1 2 3 5.

Tang Yue builds the Clear Sky Team partly to give Tang Chen a trusted circle for future leadership. He recruits a support member from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and assigns his brother Tang Xing to protect the team. Later, he secures an alliance with that sect by sharing the newly discovered benefits of Whale Rubber 10 13 20.

After Immortal Herbs help strengthen the Clear Sky Sect’s elders, Tang Yue oversees its relocation to the Heaven Dou Empire. He obtains territory for its new headquarters and hosts an opening tournament. Following Tang Chen’s victory, he requires sect disciples to cultivate eight hours a day and announces plans for Soul Hunting Guild branches 32 35 40.

Personality

Tang Yue is openly proud of Tang Chen’s talent, but protective when his son takes risks. He tests Whale Rubber himself before allowing Tang Chen to use it and keeps watch throughout Tang Chen’s dangerous refinement of the ice-and-fire herbs. Although he sometimes objects to Tang Chen’s plans, he also trusts his judgment 17 22 26.

He is direct and impatient in negotiations, while proving willing to share information and resources to strengthen the sect. Administrative work wears on him; after Tang Chen gives him responsibility for teaching the Soul Core Method, Tang Yue wishes his son would take over as sect master 10 20 84.
