Background

Yun Yang is a Quanzhen Longmen Sect Daoist stationed at Xijing’s Eight Immortals Palace. He practices the Bell and Lu Transmit the Way Inner Elixir Collection, emphasizing the joint cultivation of life and nature through True Qi, spirit cultivation, and physical refinement. 95 133

Before receiving a Thunder Seed, he was already regarded as an exceptional modern Daoist talent for cultivating Internal Breath True Qi at a young age. He initially feared being seen merely as a person with connections to Gu Zhao, rather than an independently capable cultivator. 120 131

After Gu Zhao’s Thunder Seed enters his Sea of Consciousness, Yun Yang’s physical capabilities and cultivation undergo a qualitative improvement. He returns to Eight Immortals Palace before beginning his own journey, later becoming a regular combatant of Grand Luo Palace. 127 130

Appearance

Yun Yang is a young Daoist who commonly wears formal Taoist attire or a blue long gown. He is described as having sharp, sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. 95 148

• Carries a long sword in combat. 133
• Manifests the Eight Immortals’ Dharma Images while fighting or traveling publicly. 270 555
• His sword-based Dharma Image of Patriarch Lü appears as a Daoist in green robes, wearing a Huayang cap and wielding a sword. 134

Personality

Yun Yang is enthusiastic about supernatural threats and readily volunteers for dangerous work, including exorcisms, demon hunts, and public operations. He is practical about the value of protective talismans, arguing that surviving an accident matters more than avoiding attention. 95 124 465

He is blunt, playful, and competitive. He frequently banters with Gu Zhao, boasts after impressive battles, and is sensitive about being excluded from the younger generation’s nicknames and recognition. 120 134 270

Despite his humorous side, Yun Yang is uncompromising toward malicious enemies. When confronted by ghosts and Yin cultivators who threaten others, he chooses decisive lethal force rather than mercy. 133 151
