Background
Xiongba leads the Tianxia Association, which occupies half the Divine Land in his world. Its wealth and manpower allow him to collect tens of thousands of jin of beast milk through a single order to his subordinates 16 27.
His pursuit of martial power includes betraying people close to him. Li Xiang recalls that Xiongba killed the master who taught him martial arts for a manual, and kidnapped his sworn brother’s daughter to force that brother to surrender his lifetime of cultivation 27.
Personality
Xiongba is calculating and initially more skeptical of Great Immortal Li than the other established chat-group members. While Wuyazi, Guo Jing, and Zhang Sanfeng have already been deceived, Xiongba remains only partly convinced and has not surrendered his valuable martial inheritance 3 9.
His generosity toward Shi Hao is deliberately inexpensive investment: he considers beast milk a trivial expense compared with befriending someone presented as a future Heavenly Emperor. He describes their connection as fate while privately recognizing the bargain 8 11.
He is also openly acquisitive and thick-skinned. When accused of exploiting a three-year-old to obtain Buddha’s Palm, he argues that openly requesting the manual is not trickery. His desire for greater power later extends to immortality, and he envies the advanced inheritances repeatedly offered to Shi Hao 23 45.
Abilities & Skills
Three Points Return to One Qi
Xiongba cultivates Three Points Return to One Qi, an advanced martial art from the high-level martial world of Fengyun 9 22.
- At Great Perfection, the technique can produce a martial arts grandmaster capable of blasting away a small hill with one move; Xiongba’s own mastery stage is not specified 9.
- He retains control of its manual despite Great Immortal Li’s attempts to win his confidence 3 9.
- He recognizes Buddha’s Palm as substantially more powerful than his own art 22.
- He believes that the predicted 108,000-jin one-handed strength of a five- or six-year-old Desolate Heaven Emperor would be enough to crush him 5.
Access to Immortal Cultivation
Xiongba receives the Elixir Cauldron Sect Immortal Cultivation Method when Jiu Jianxian distributes it to the group 46.
- The incomplete method can cultivate a Primordial Spirit and grant a thousand-year lifespan 46.
- Receiving the manual is documented, but no cultivation breakthrough or mastery of it is shown 46.
Command and Logistics
- Commands Tianxia Association members across an organization controlling half the Divine Land 16.
- Arranges large shipments of fresh milk, including cow, mare, goat, bear, and tiger milk 11.
- Uses the chat group’s red-envelope function to deliver supplies directly across worlds 11 19 27.
Story Role / Major Arcs
Befriending the “Future Heavenly Emperor”
Already a chat-group member when Shi Hao arrives, Xiongba welcomes him and questions Great Immortal Li about his supposed future strength. Though skeptical, he offers to supply beast milk after seeing the group leader court Shi Hao’s favor 2 3 8.
His deliveries become a substantial source of Shi Hao’s Beast Milk System skill points 14 19 27.
| Shipment | Chapter | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| More than 20,000 jin | 11 | First documented delivery; drinking it gives Shi Hao 254 skill points 14. |
| More than 30,000 jin | 19 | Supplies milk used during Shi Hao’s advancement to Supreme Grandmaster and subsequent cultivation of Buddha’s Palm 19 25. |
| More than 50,000 jin | 27 | Apology gift following the Buddha’s Palm dispute; brings Xiongba’s cumulative gifts above 100,000 jin. |
Attempt to Obtain Buddha’s Palm
After Gu Jianfei leaves Buddha’s Palm to Shi Hao, Xiongba asks to inspect the manual. Zhang Sanfeng, Guo Jing, and Wuyazi object that he is taking advantage of Shi Hao’s age. Xiongba then offers tens of thousands of jin of milk every day in exchange for access 22 23.
Great Immortal Li mutes him for half a day and threatens a permanent mute for another attempt. Shi Hao privately considers the exchange profitable but declines to pursue it because it would conflict with his young Desolate Heaven Emperor persona 23.
Once able to speak again, Xiongba apologizes and sends more than 50,000 jin of milk. Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Jing accept his apparent change of heart, while Li Xiang suspects he is merely behaving under pressure. Xiongba receives no manual in return 27.
Pursuit of Immortality
When Jiu Jianxian describes Mount Shu cultivation as a path to eternal life, Xiongba immediately requests instruction. Jiu Jianxian refuses to take him as a disciple because of his age, but subsequently shares the Elixir Cauldron Sect method with him and the other members 45 46.
Following Jiu Jianxian’s death, Xiongba remarks on its suddenness and notes that several Mount Shu sword arts had not yet been passed to Shi Hao 49.
Relationships
- Shi Hao — Prospective powerful ally and recipient of his milk shipments. Xiongba seeks both goodwill and access to Buddha’s Palm; Shi Hao accepts the supplies while withholding the manual 8 23 27.
- Li Xiang / Great Immortal Li — Group leader whom Xiongba initially doubts. Their competition to befriend Shi Hao culminates in Li muting him over the Buddha’s Palm request 3 11 23.
- Zhang Sanfeng, Guo Jing, and Wuyazi — Fellow members who collectively oppose his attempt to obtain Shi Hao’s inheritance. Zhang Sanfeng and Guo Jing later welcome his apology 23 27.
- Jiu Jianxian — Cultivator from whom Xiongba seeks immortality teachings; provides a shared cultivation manual but declines to accept him as a disciple 45 46.
Trivia
- Xiongba’s world also has a Qin Shi Huang, who has been dead for more than a thousand years when Ying Zheng joins the chat group 29.
