Li Qingyue

Biodata

Power Progression

Li Qingyue advances through a self-developed true-qi method rather than the conventional secret realms. She remains unable to sense or open her Bitter Sea despite her growing combat strength 8 40 50.

Background / History

Transmigration and Her Brother

Li Qingyue came from Earth, where she was an introverted only child with parents and elderly grandparents. After transmigrating, she struggled with separation from her family and initially sought death rather than a future in her new world 2 12 20.

Her mountain village suffered a ferocious-beast calamity, earning her the Survival System’s initial 1,000 points. Her elder brother carried her away when she was barely over six and protected her for eight years. Throughout that period, she neither spoke nor smiled, while he continued trying to win her trust and affection 2 3 15.

Her brother possessed a Sacred Body and ultimately saved her with his life. His lingering obsession remained within the Ghost Face Mask. After burying him, she began hunting alone and pursuing strength, both to avenge him and to seek a possible route back to her family 2 12 15 23.

Stone Village and Revenge

After surviving in the mountains for more than a year, Li Qingyue approached Stone Village hunters while presenting herself as a frightened, nameless girl. Shí Pánshān took her in and named her Shi Yue. She helped with household chores, hunted small game, and set traps while planning eventually to leave and study cultivation 3 4 5 6.

Bandits massacred Stone Village before she could repay its kindness. Their scar-faced cultivator leader captured her, but she exploited his confidence that she was merely mortal and drove a dagger into his heart despite a divine chain strangling her and crushing her hand 6 7 8.

She recovered the Dao Scripture Opening Chapter and a Source Stone fragment from his room, advanced her technique, and killed the remaining bandits while wearing the Ghost Face Mask. Yang Wuzheng encountered her afterward and helped her return to Stone Village, where she personally buried the dead 8 9.

Traveling with the Nine Saints Gate Disciples

Li Qingyue joined Yang Wuzheng and Yan Wushuang on their journey toward the Primordial Ancient Mine. They supplied cultivated beast meat, scriptures, explanations, medicine, and Source Stones, allowing her to investigate alternatives to conventional cultivation 11 12 13 15 17.

Her first attempt to combine Five Elements Dao Patterns failed, but studying Five Elements Mountain revealed how its patterns formed a single circulating system. This discovery gave her genuine hope of overcoming the Waste Body’s restrictions 18 19 20.

At Ancient Source City, Yan Wushuang bought her a treasured dress with Yang Wuzheng’s financial help. The Tianxuan Saintess warned her that Sacred Bodies and special constitutions could draw her into disaster, but Li Qingyue refused to abandon companions who had treated her well 21 23.

During the Tianquan Saint’s banquet, she broke her first strength limit. Conflict with the Tuoba Family reinforced her determination to control her own fate; she decisively rejected a proposed marriage, and Yan Wushuang subsequently killed Tuoba Ye 31 32 37.

Primordial Ancient Mine and the Hidden World

Before entering the ancient tomb, Li Qingyue used a large supply of Source Stones to transform her cultivation. She then learned zither techniques from Yang Wuzheng to control her new strength and accepted his Ancient Zither as a gift 38 40 41.

Near the mine, she witnessed whirlwinds lure cultivators with apparent breakthroughs before consuming them. She recognized the mine’s devouring breath as resembling a black hole and resolved to return when sufficiently strong 45.

Within the hidden world, its graves and Underworld inscriptions led her to suspect a connection to Duan De’s second life and the Tribulation-Transcending Heavenly Art. Five companions protected her with sacred weapons through repeated calamities, exhausting themselves in the process 47 48.

When others threatened the exhausted group, Li Qingyue charged out to buy her protectors time. She killed five Dao Palace Realm cultivators, then attacked a Four Extremes Realm man who helped spread claims that she possessed the Nine Secrets. The fight remains unresolved in the provided material 49 50.

Appearance

• Build: Petite, slender, and outwardly frail despite her considerable physical strength. She reaches only approximately Yan Wushuang’s chin when looking up at him 3 4 15.
• Features: Clear, dark eyes, delicate fair skin, and a face repeatedly compared to a fairy’s 2 4 10.
• Bearing: Quiet and aloof, likened to a green lotus standing apart from the world 10 21.
• Voice: Cool and clear, compared to the tinkling flow of a mountain stream 24 29.
• Clothing: Initially conceals herself with dirt and loose men’s clothing. Later wears a white treasured garment from the Exquisite Pavilion 4 15 24.
• Cultivation changes: Life divine radiance and five-element true qi make her skin increasingly crystalline and translucent without giving her a bulky physique 31 40.

Personality

Li Qingyue is reserved, wary, and strongly concerned with personal safety. Her apparent helplessness can be deliberate: she understands that weakness encourages enemies to lower their guard. During her captivity, however, her fear is genuine, even as she uses it to create an opening 4 7 8.

Her strongest principle is reciprocity. She remembers even small kindnesses, preserves gifts and keepsakes, and insists on repaying those who help her. This extends beyond gratitude into action: she tends her companions’ wounds and later risks her life to protect them 16 23 41 49.

Grief and homesickness underlie her cool demeanor. She regrets never calling her brother “brother” or smiling for him while he lived. Her companions’ patience and affection repeatedly recall him, but she does not consider their romantic feelings reciprocated and refuses marriage 15 16 17 32 41.

She is stubborn and fiercely protective of her independence, particularly over her clothing, cultivation, and inherited Dao influences. She values practical strength over admiration or luxury: her frustration with the expensive dress comes from preferring the Source Stones that could have advanced her cultivation 22 25 38 39.

Her enormous appetite serves her cultivation rather than merely indulgence. Eating gives her an immediate sense of improvement, and she readily accepts food while showing little concern for appearances 11 27 29.

Abilities & Skills

Survival System

A sparse system that Li Qingyue suspects arose from a mutation of her soul after crossing worlds 2.

• Awards survival points when she survives calamities, including 100 points for surviving a beast’s footfall and 1,000 for certain death calamities 2 48.
• Consumes points to evolve or simulate scenes and phenomena, allowing her to experience their workings through visualization 2 7 38.
• Enables the creation and refinement of Kunpeng Devouring and the study of Five Elements Mountain 2 7 38.
• Does not provide unrestricted comprehension: her attempt to simulate Dao patterns directly fails 18.

Kunpeng Devouring

Also called the Kunpeng Swallowing Technique, this is the foundation of her personal cultivation path 2 7.

• Breaks down beast flesh into vital essence, generating true qi that nourishes her body and accelerates healing 2 8.
• Uses interconnected small vortices to reinforce its devouring force 7 8.
• Incorporates the Dao Scripture’s guiding methods to absorb heaven-and-earth essence directly 8.
• Later absorbs Source Stone essence and the pure essence of the five elements 38 40.
• Her intended progression includes devouring divine power, Wheels of Life, and cultivators’ origins. These remain future goals rather than demonstrated abilities 8.

Dao Comprehension and Technique Creation

Li Qingyue compensates for her unusable constitution by studying how heaven and earth operate 13 17.

• Memorizes all 108 basic Dao Patterns and investigates their use in transforming true qi 17.
• Enters Dao enlightenment while still considered mortal, astonishing Yang Wuzheng and Yan Wushuang 19 38.
• Reconstructs Five Elements Mountain’s integrated circulation instead of combining isolated patterns at random 18 19.
• Seeks to recreate a world or grotto-heaven within her body rather than rely on her inaccessible Bitter Sea 20 31.
• Refuses to accept permanent subordination to the Buddha Emperor’s Dao through inherited Emperor Script 38 39.

Five Elements Mountain and Five-Element True Qi

Her transformed first vortex supports five-element power and a manifested mountain attack 38 40.

• Draws five-element essence from her surroundings to strengthen her body 40.
• Manifests Five Elements Mountain to strike or suppress opponents 40 50.
• Forms small vortices beneath her feet to increase speed and explosive movement 50.
• Combines mountain strikes with a devouring-force palm 50.
• Still does not grant flight; she must rely on companions for aerial travel 42.
• Can be overcome by stronger opponents: the Four Extremes Realm man shatters her mountain and blasts her backward 50.

Invincible Will and the Art of Absolute Supremacy

A will tempered through her struggle with Emperor Script enhances her combat power. Its manifestation gives her insight into the Art of Absolute Supremacy 39 50.

• Allows her to kill Dao Palace Realm cultivators despite lacking conventional cultivation 50.
• Suggests a method of strengthening body and primordial spirit through an increasingly invincible will 50.
• Is mistaken by observers for the eight forbidden domain. Li Qingyue instead judges the increase against her actual Other Shore-comparable strength, placing it at most within the two forbidden domain 50.
• She glimpses the art’s principles; full mastery and entry into the divine forbidden domain are not established 50.

Practical and Musical Skills

• Wilderness survival: Hunts small game, sets traps, and uses powerful beasts’ abandoned kills as food 2 3 6.
• Deception and close combat: Exploits an opponent’s assumptions about her frailty and uses a dagger to kill the scar-faced cultivator 7 8.
• Zither playing: Learns eight finger techniques from Yang Wuzheng and practices until she can play a clear melody while controlling her increased strength 41.
