Background / History

Bai Zhi travels with Su Yan and Mo Hen during the investigation of Ice Abyss Valley. She supports the group through healing and spiritual protection, but suffers excessive exertion while protecting them against the Ice Abyss Soul Devouring Beasts and Ice Devouring Lord. 29

In Fengdu City's Ghost Market, Bai Zhi seeks Buddhist scriptures and soul-related Dharma artifacts. An old monk recognizes her Buddhist affinity and compassionate heart, then imparts guidance on preserving her true self amid Netherworld resentment and transforming resentment into compassionate power. Her cultivation does not increase directly, but her state of mind and adaptability to the Netherworld deepen. 54

At the Immortal Palace, Bai Zhi is assigned to the Heart Purification Garden. She immediately worries about those deeply “infected” there, then discovers that its cultivators are coerced into repenting their emotions into Heart Mirror Stones. She evades the Garden Master's pressure by confessing only trivial matters, protecting her genuine emotions and observing the garden's victims. 103 106

Bai Zhi secretly constructs a Minor Sumeru Purification Barrier in her quarters, concealing it when the garden's demonic puppet-mistress investigates. 113 During the team's confrontation with the false “Bodhisattva,” she exposes its distorted teachings, clashes with it through Buddhist Light, and later uses the Great Light Wisdom Sword Curse to briefly awaken the captive old woman beneath the illusion. 117 118

Personality

Bai Zhi is compassionate without being naïve. She consistently seeks to relieve suffering—whether treating allies, teaching Dragon Palace residents, or operating a free clinic—but pairs mercy with discernment when facing manipulation and corruption. 54 106 157 247

She is calm under pressure and willing to use subtle deception to preserve a greater purpose. In the Heart Purification Garden, she conceals both her emotions and her purification formation rather than openly provoking its mistress. 106 113

Bai Zhi is also intellectually independent and outspoken against empty doctrine. At the Valley of Dao Discussion, she challenges Daoist Master Liu's hollow arguments and helps reveal that the valley rewards obedience rather than true understanding. 99
