Personality

Huang Jian initially treats promising juniors with measured scrutiny. He sets demanding conditions for discipleship and uses Hu Yanbo’s technique training as an unspoken test of aptitude. After judging Hu Yanbo’s physical-attack talent ordinary, he hopes the younger cultivator will concentrate on his stronger soul talent and willpower 65 70.

Once committed to a disciple, he is outspoken, protective, and generous. He encourages Hu Yanbo to cause trouble on the Outer Domain Battlefield and promises to shoulder the consequences. His admiration extends beyond talent: he particularly values Hu Yanbo’s refusal to collapse under the threat of a Universe Master 83 94.

He takes conspicuous pride in his disciples’ achievements. He boasts about Hu Yanbo killing the Lord of Sky Wolf, needles other teachers over their disciples’ records, and later enjoys being approached by senior cultivators seeking talents from Hu Yanbo’s lineage 167 198.

His support also serves a political purpose. Concerned that the Ancestral God School’s generosity might draw Hu Yanbo away from humanity, he welcomes opportunities to help him and deepen his ties to the race. Even so, he suppresses his curiosity about Hu Yanbo’s unexplained growth rather than allowing it to obstruct his disciple’s development 137.

Abilities & Skills

• Has equipped all four bodies with complementary Supreme Treasures accumulated over long exploration 94.
• Is considered extraordinarily difficult to kill unless caught in one of the Universe Ocean’s notorious death traps 94.

• Recognizes Void Lotus as a Peak Soul Attack Secret Technique capable of threatening an Ultimate King when Hu Yanbo burns divine power 66.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

Personal Treasures

• Star-Refining Isle — Used in a standard equipment configuration for his Lava Dragon Turtle Clone 94.
• Golden Star Sea — Paired with Star-Refining Isle for the same clone 94.
• Palace Supreme Treasure — Carries a clone to the Twin Vortex Domain; he shrinks it to a dust-sized speck and conceals it while waiting to see whether a Demon Race Universe Master will intervene 93.
• Armor Wall — A Supreme Treasure surrounding his palace complex in the Glory Secret Realm. It resembles an immense defensive wall assembled from ancient war spears, broken shields, and armor fragments, with phantom weapons rising above it 94.
• Four sets of equipment — Each divine body has its own extensively developed equipment configuration suited to different dangers 94.

Treasures Given to Hu Yanbo

• Soul-Suppressing Eye — An ancient-looking dark-purple pendant shaped like a closed eye. Huang Jian gives this Soul Defense Supreme Treasure to Hu Yanbo before his departure for the Ancestral God School, prioritizing protection against sudden soul attacks 106.
• Night Armor — A top-tier Soul-type Supreme Treasure presented after humanity’s leaders agree to reward Hu Yanbo’s extraordinary comprehension. Its initial form is a fist-sized, deep-red triangular crystal with nebula-like patterns inside 142.

History

Recognition of Hu Yanbo

Huang Jian first learns Hu Yanbo’s name through one of his disciples, who serves among the Hongmeng Alliance’s 108 administrators. Hu Yanbo’s proposed admission as a three-star member requires special deliberation, bringing his unusually rapid growth to Huang Jian’s attention. Huang Jian instructs Yuan Huang to nurture him carefully, acknowledging that the young cultivator may possess exceptional opportunities and secrets 57 65.

When further reports arrive within days, Huang Jian offers personal guidance. At their first audience, he proposes nominal discipleship if Hu Yanbo becomes an Invincible King and personal discipleship if he reaches Universe Venerable. He then examines Void Lotus and helps arrange training for a complementary Psychic Master physical-attack technique 65 66.

Accepting His Twenty-Seventh Direct Disciple

Huang Jian subsequently accepts Hu Yanbo as his twenty-seventh direct disciple, before the originally stipulated Universe Venerable milestone. He grants direct access to his palace on Glory Sacred Mountain and invites Hu Yanbo to seek cultivation advice whenever needed. Most of his surviving senior disciples are already Universe Venerables 83.

When Hu Yanbo sends a distress signal from the Twin Vortex Domain, Huang Jian dispatches a clone ahead of Lord Youmo. He initially remains hidden to avoid personally interfering in an Immortal-level battlefield dispute, but reveals himself when Youmo intervenes. His confrontation forces the Demon Race Universe Master to withdraw; Huang Jian does not pursue him, recognizing the difficulty of killing Youmo’s elusive Void Drifter body 93 94.

Supporting the Ancestral God School Expedition

After Hu Yanbo demonstrates Void Evolution, Huang Jian recognizes it as a peak Universe Master secret technique. He accepts Hu Yanbo’s partly fabricated explanation that the Original Universe directly bestowed the inheritance and concludes that his disciple may eventually become a Universe Overlord and succeed to the Void Evolution Divine General position. He promises to obtain a Beast God Inheritance Token 95.

Once the race approves the expedition, Huang Jian introduces Jiu Feng Venerable as Hu Yanbo’s escort and emphasizes that protecting him is a decision of humanity’s highest leadership. He also supplies the Soul-Suppressing Eye to address the danger of attacks that an escort might fail to intercept 103 106.

As hostile attention increases, he warns Hu Yanbo that the three enemy peak races may deploy at least ten Universe Overlords against him. He recommends remaining either beneath Purple Thorn Island’s protection or within the Glory Secret Realm 134.

Nurturing a Universe Master

Hu Yanbo’s demonstration of Top Universe Overlord-level soul power overturns Huang Jian’s expectations. Recognizing him as humanity’s fourth Top Universe Overlord and the Universe Mercenary Alliance’s first, Huang Jian abandons his initial skepticism toward the request to study a Universe Master’s Strongest Secret Technique. Lacking an appropriate soul technique himself, he seeks help through the Chaos City Lord and Lord of Darkness 137.

After Hu Yanbo wins the Lord of Darkness’s admiration, Huang Jian supports further study of material attacks despite warning against dividing attention between two difficult paths. He opens the Myriad Arts Stele Forest and its amplitude-technique legacies to his disciple 140.

At the Giant Axe Meeting, he immediately prepares to defend Hu Yanbo’s participation when the Lord of Void Gold questions it. Hu Yanbo’s revelation that he has become a Universe Master fulfills Huang Jian’s ambition to raise a disciple to his own realm and strengthens the Universe Mercenary Alliance’s position among humanity’s major factions 161.

Primal Stars and the Universe Ocean

Huang Jian advises the newly advanced Hu Yanbo to obtain Supreme Treasures from the Primal Stars before exploring the Universe Ocean. When Hu Yanbo reveals the Original Universe’s guidance concerning the Treasure Lands, Huang Jian undertakes to inform Giant Axe Founder and discuss how humanity should respond 162 170.

Upon learning that a Universe Strongest is attacking his disciple on Primal Star 666, he immediately mobilizes and alerts humanity’s leaders. Two of his clones later join the group surrounding Sitting Mountain Guest, whom they initially regard as an assassination participant, before Hu Yanbo announces the latter’s entry into the Hongmeng Alliance 175 179.

In a later Universe Ocean encounter, North Prison Lord seals one of Huang Jian’s weaker incarnations during a dispute over a newly emerged Top-tier Supreme Treasure. Giant Axe Founder subsequently intervenes against North Prison Lord 191 193.

Later Activities

Huang Jian participates in humanity’s occupation of Machine Race territory, destroying an evacuation force led by Jin Liu Venerable 195.

During a later Primal Star expedition, he defeats a third-order Universe Master from the Nine Domains Alliance and takes the treasures within his assigned main hall. He then backs Luo Feng in the confrontation with Lord Liulan, privately recognizing that his granddisciple’s strength may already rival his own normal combat power 203.

When hostile powers demand humanity’s inheritance and threaten war, Huang Jian remains calm. He trusts the Hongmeng Alliance’s strongest combatants, recognizes the safety offered by its Universe Strongests’ Miniature Universes, and suspects that Hu Yanbo’s unusual silence conceals a plan against their opponents 206.

Relationships

• Hu Yanbo / Lord of Myriad Forms — Twenty-seventh direct disciple and greatest source of personal pride. Huang Jian supplies instruction, protection, treasures, and political backing throughout his rise 83 106 137 161.
• Yuan Huang — A leading Universe Overlord of the Universe Mercenary Alliance and Hu Yanbo’s earlier teacher. Huang Jian directs him to nurture Hu Yanbo and receives his reports on the disciple’s progress 57 64 83.
• Luo Feng — Granddisciple through Hu Yanbo. Huang Jian supports him against Lord Liulan and regards him as his proudest granddisciple 198 203.
• Lord of Darkness — Fellow human leader and soul-path specialist. Their exchanges mix cooperation with teasing rivalry; Huang Jian secures his help for Hu Yanbo and later permits him to approach Hong about tutelage 137 140 198.
• Chaos City Lord — Fellow senior leader whom Huang Jian approaches for help obtaining advanced soul instruction. Chaos also restrains his impatience during the crisis surrounding Hu Yanbo’s ambush 137 177.
• Giant Axe Founder — Humanity’s leading protector and a central partner in responding to major threats and opportunities involving Hu Yanbo 170 175 179.
• Jiu Feng Venerable — Entrusted with escorting and protecting Hu Yanbo at the Ancestral God School 106 116.
• Lord Youmo — Demon Race opponent whom Huang Jian confronts and humiliates for targeting his disciple 93 94.
