|---|---|---|
| Level 94 Titled Douluo | 22 | Retrospectively confirmed as his level after Qian Xunji’s death, before the expedition to Sunset Forest. |
| Level 95 Titled Douluo | 9 | Advanced one level after absorbing the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He credited Bai Guyue for the opportunity and felt that Level 96 was now within reach. |
- Level 96 remained a prospect, not a confirmed breakthrough. Qian Daoliu considered Yue Guan and Gui Mei potential candidates for the Worship Hall if they reached that level 22.
- His ninth Soul Ring was not a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Yue Guan regarded this as a regret that the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could help compensate for 6.
Background / History
Service to Spirit Hall
Yue Guan served the previous Pope for many years before becoming one of Bibi Dong’s regular attendants. He and Gui Mei also knew Bai Guyue well before the opening events, having frequently eaten meals prepared by him 3 19.
When Bai Guyue rejected Bibi Dong’s marriage proposal and attempted to leave, Yue Guan and Gui Mei received orders to confine him within Spirit Hall while accommodating his other requests. Yue Guan felt guilty about refusing an old friend, but maintained that he could not disobey the Pope. To help Bai Guyue pass the time, he lent him his book on Immortal Herbs 1 3.
Discovery of the Immortal Herbs
Yue Guan accompanied Bibi Dong, Bai Guyue, and Gui Mei to Sunset Forest, where Bai Guyue led them to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After spending most of his life studying Immortal Herbs without finding one, Yue Guan immediately recognized several plants and became ecstatic upon discovering a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum identical to his Martial Soul 3 6.
He consumed the chrysanthemum and advanced to Level 95 alongside Gui Mei, who absorbed a different herb. Their improvement later provided Bibi Dong with visible proof of the herbs’ value during negotiations with the Worship Hall 8 9 22.
Soul-Ring Hunts and the Papal Wedding
In Death Canyon, Yue Guan and Gui Mei disabled a seventy-eight-thousand-year-old Ghost-Annihilating Heart-Executing Spider so Bai Guyue could kill it for his sixth Soul Ring. They subsequently immobilized the Hundred-Thousand-Year Death Spider Emperor with their Two Extremes Stillness Domain, enabling Bibi Dong to deliver the killing blow 13 18.
Yue Guan questioned how Bibi Dong’s marriage would survive opposition from the Worship Hall and learned of Bai Guyue’s plan to secure influential worshippers’ support with Immortal Herbs. He later accompanied the couple to their confrontation with the Worship Hall and demonstrated his new cultivation when Bibi Dong called on him 19 21 22.
His wedding duties included pressing the clothing workshop to finish the wedding clothes, distributing invitations, welcoming faction representatives, and helping announce the Seven Great Enshrined. During the ceremony, he invited the newlyweds to appear and afterward directed guests to the banquet 13 29 32 34.
Dugu Bo’s Departure from Prince Xue Xing
Yue Guan participated in the staged attack that allowed Dugu Bo to settle his debt to Prince Xue Xing. After Gui Mei had already injured Dugu Bo to make the confrontation convincing, Yue Guan added a forceful punch to his chest. Dugu Bo angrily vowed to remember it, while Yue Guan insisted that the blow served the act 43 44.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei then waited near Heaven Dou City, reunited with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, and returned with them to Spirit Hall 44.
Administrative Duties and Later Expeditions
During Bibi Dong’s pregnancy, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo were assigned to help manage Spirit Hall for the following year. Bibi Dong promised each a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone and specifically tasked Yue Guan with finding the best tailor to prepare newborn clothing for both a boy and a girl. He later waited outside her bedchamber during the birth 54 56.
On Bai Guyue’s seventh Soul Ring expedition, Yue Guan helped fight the Titan Giant Ape and capture the Sky Azure Bull Python. He later joined the hunt for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blood-Bathed Phoenix. At the Lake of Life, his attack on Ah Rou and Xiao Wu was interrupted by Di Tian, whose aura suppressed him, Gui Mei, and Dugu Bo 61 62 68 69.
Appearance
- Delicate face: Described during his absorption of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum and his appearance during the staged attack on Dugu Bo 8 43.
- Small fists: His punch appears soft and feeble, but carries enough force to shake Dugu Bo’s internal organs 44.
- Martial Soul manifestation: A blooming Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum appears behind him, spreading brilliant golden radiance during combat 18 61.
Personality
Yue Guan is loyal to the Pope’s authority even when her orders conflict with his friendships. His discomfort over confining Bai Guyue does not persuade him to permit an escape. He is also cautious around Spirit Hall’s internal politics: he tries to avoid hearing sensitive accusations against Bibi Dong and is visibly frightened by Golden Crocodile Douluo’s superior cultivation 3 21.
His interest in flowers and plants is persistent rather than casual. Despite years without finding an Immortal Herb and moments of discouragement, he continues recording and studying them. Discovering the chrysanthemum matching his Martial Soul brings out an openly exuberant, almost childlike excitement 3 6.
He enjoys gossip, particularly about Bibi Dong and Bai Guyue’s relationship, and secretly watches their interactions with Gui Mei. His teasing can also be malicious: he mocks Dugu Bo’s ignorance of Immortal Herbs and takes an unnecessary opportunity to strike him during their staged confrontation. Nevertheless, he can put envy aside to congratulate a colleague on receiving a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring 11 16 19 44 68.
