Background / History

Qin Mu transmigrated into an unknown world and spent 100,000 years as a small blade of grass. His system issued a red envelope every thousand years; after accumulating and synthesizing one hundred small envelopes, he received the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass reward and became the Innate Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. A lightning strike then gave him human form in the Primordial World. 1

After meeting Daoist Tongtian, Qin Mu immediately sought to become his disciple. Tongtian accepted him as his first disciple and presented the Fire Spirit Pearl as an initiation gift. Laozi and Yuanshi subsequently acknowledged Qin Mu's exceptional foundation and bestowed the Seven-Revolving Golden Elixir and Three-Lights Divine Water. 1 3

His true form underwent repeated evolution. Refining the Lotus Seed of the Creation Green Lotus transformed the thirty-six-leaf sword grass into the Innate Sword Lotus, elevating his foundation to that of an Innate Demon God. His form is later identified as the Innate Green Lotus Sword Grass and, at higher levels, the Innate Chaos Green Lotus Sword Leaf. 13 27 282

Qin Mu gradually expanded his influence beyond Jie Teachings. Through his avatars, he became tied to the Human Race, Underworld, and Heavenly Court: Huang Tian became the Human Emperor, Yin Tianzi became Lord of the Underworld, and Di Zun governed the Heavenly Court. Qin Mu himself later accepted the position of Lord of the Heavenly Court. 94 190 381 582

As a master, Qin Mu values a disciple's independent path. He arranges protection for Yang Jian but refuses to resolve the Peach Mountain trial personally, believing that a disciple who permanently relies on his master cannot become a true powerhouse. 701
