Background / History
Gui Mei’s Rescue
Yue Guan and Gui Mei had dealings with Jun Kuang before Jun Yan joined the Enforcement Corps. When Jun Yan reported for training, Yue Guan reminded him that his father had put considerable effort into securing the opportunity 8.
After receiving alarming news from Afaluo City, Yue Guan rushed to Basi Valley and found Gui Mei near death. Jun Yan sustained Gui Mei with plant-derived life energy while Yue Guan brought them to the city and sought treatment from the Nine Heart Begonia Soul Master, Ye Tianxing 11.
Ye Tianxing healed Gui Mei’s physical injuries but could not remove the curse draining his vitality and Soul Power. Following his advice, Yue Guan carried Gui Mei back to Spirit City with Jun Yan and appealed directly to Qian Xunji. The Pope removed the curse with holy power while Jun Yan supplied the life energy needed to keep Gui Mei alive 12 13.
In gratitude, Yue Guan and Gui Mei promised Jun Yan support within Spirit Hall. Gui Mei allowed him to cultivate at home while receiving mission credit, and Yue Guan promised that their approaching promotion to Titled Douluo would let them protect his interests 13.
Sea God Island Expedition
After becoming a Titled Douluo, Yue Guan joined Spirit Hall’s expedition against Sea God Island. He expected victory because Qian Daoliu would hold the Sea God Douluo in check, although he warned Jun Yan that the interval before the Great Enshrined intervened could be dangerous. At Vast Sea City, he confirmed the availability of ten borrowed warships and arranged a two-day preparation period 19 20 22.
During the voyage, Yue Guan and Gui Mei immobilized the Demon Soul Great White Shark King with their Two Extremes Stillness Domain, allowing Qian Jun and Jiang Mo to strike her. Later, outside Sea Maiden City, they trapped all seven Sacred Pillar Guardians long enough for their allies to inflict serious injuries. Holding seven opponents exhausted their Soul Power, and Jun Yan’s wooden figure caught them when they fell 26 34 35.
Sea Maiden Douluo’s sacrificial counterattack turned the battle into a Spirit Hall rout. Yue Guan and Gui Mei escaped with Jun Yan, then helped direct more than five hundred gathered survivors back toward the warships. The troops respected the pair for remaining in battle until their Soul Power was exhausted 35.
After the expedition failed, Qian Xunji ordered Qian Jun and Jiang Mo into three years of seclusion and appointed Yue Guan and Gui Mei to lead the Enforcement Corps 36.
Immortal Herbs and Brotherhood
Jun Yan had previously sought Yue Guan’s instruction in medicinal plants. During the expedition, he revealed that he had discovered a place where numerous Immortal Herbs grew, including a Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Yue Guan promised that he and Gui Mei would keep Jun Yan alive on Sea God Island 19 20 31.
After returning to the continent and clearing their accumulated Enforcement Corps work, the pair accompanied Jun Yan to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Jun Yan gave Yue Guan the herb matching his Martial Soul and gave Gui Mei a Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone. Moved by the gift, Yue Guan declared Jun Yan closer to him than a blood brother 37.
Absorbing the herbs strengthened both men and transformed their fusion skill. Before leaving the valley, Yue Guan harvested mature medicinal plants for Jun Yan, explaining their names and uses. He then departed with Gui Mei for Spirit City while Jun Yan continued alone toward Heaven Dou City 38 39.
Personality
Yue Guan is deeply attached to Gui Mei. During his friend’s near-fatal injury, his anxiety becomes so intense that Ye Tianxing explicitly warns that concern has clouded his judgment. Their closeness also allows for frequent teasing, particularly Gui Mei’s persistent use of “Chrysanthemum Guan” despite Yue Guan’s protests 11 12 23.
His enthusiasm for flowers combines scholarly knowledge with genuine care for living plants. At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he excitedly examines rare specimens, but later refuses to transplant them into less favorable conditions because doing so would harm their growth. He also declines Jun Yan’s offer of additional Immortal Herbs, saying that he and Gui Mei have already received too much 37 39.
His gratitude toward Jun Yan takes practical forms: institutional protection, instruction, gifts, and promises of personal safety. He eventually insists that Jun Yan address him as an older brother rather than an elder 13 20 31 38.
Abilities & Skills
Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum
Yue Guan’s Martial Soul takes the form of a large purple chrysanthemum with fluffy petals, no fragrance, and a tall central stamen tipped with golden light 20.
- It corresponds to an actual Immortal Herb of the same name, making that herb particularly compatible with him 20.
- Yue Guan believes consuming the matching herb could allow him to cultivate an indestructible vajra body; this is presented as his expectation, not a separately demonstrated ability 20.
- During absorption, golden energy gathers around the manifested chrysanthemum and flows into his body, accompanied by swelling limbs and cracking bones 38.
Two Extremes Stillness Domain
A dual-attribute Martial Soul Fusion Skill performed with Gui Mei, combining Yue Guan’s golden energy with Gui Mei’s silver energy 26.
- Activation: They face one another, clasp all four hands, and merge their bodies and eighteen Soul Rings into a gold-and-silver halo 26.
- Effect: Freezes both an opponent’s movements and skills. It prevents the human-shaped Demon Soul Great White Shark King from returning to her original form 26.
- Range: The halo expands to more than one hundred meters in diameter during the shark ambush 26.
- Battlefield use: Restrains seven Sacred Pillar Guardians simultaneously, creating an opening for allied attacks 34 35.
- Limit: Powerful or numerous targets strain its duration. Trapping seven guardians drains both users’ Soul Power completely 35.
Bipolar Slowing Domain
The transformed fusion skill discovered after Yue Guan and Gui Mei absorb their Immortal Herbs 38.
- Time manipulation: Slows time rather than merely reducing movement speed; Jun Yan verifies this by sending a Wood Spike through the domain 38.
- Reported strength: Can slow time by up to six times 38.
- Full-power test: Jun Yan experiences only a blink while approximately an incense stick’s burning time passes 39.
- Consumption: Gui Mei explains that maintaining the test against Jun Yan costs relatively little Soul Power because Jun Yan’s Soul Power is comparatively low 39.
Medicinal Plant Expertise
Yue Guan identifies rare plants, explains their properties, and knows specialized harvesting and absorption methods 19 37 38 39.
- Identifies the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower from Jun Yan’s description 19.
- Recognizes the Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone as suitable for Gui Mei and instructs him to eat its petals before sucking the stamens, using Soul Power while maintaining a calm mind 37 38.
- Harvests mature herbs safely and teaches Jun Yan their names and applications 39.
- Recognizes the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and explains that it acknowledges a master only through profound love 39.
Equipment / Items
- Hundred Flowers Bag — A spatial Soul Tool used to preserve flowers. Yue Guan gives Jun Yan an empty one, retaining the rare plants he has collected himself 20.
- Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum — An Immortal Herb gifted by Jun Yan and consumed to improve Yue Guan’s cultivation and fusion skill 37 38.
- Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Black Severing Stone — Discovered together at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and handed to Jun Yan in the hope that the flower will find a worthy master 39.
Relationships
- Gui Mei — Closest companion, fusion-skill partner, and fellow Enforcement Corps leader. Yue Guan calls him “Old Ghost” and refers to him as his brother while seeking treatment for him 11 12 36.
- Jun Yan — Initially a junior under his protection, later his student in medicinal plants and acknowledged younger brother. Their bond deepens through Gui Mei’s rescue and Jun Yan’s gift of an Immortal Herb 13 19 37 38.
- Jun Kuang — An earlier acquaintance whose efforts helped secure Jun Yan’s Enforcement Corps training 8.
- Qian Xunji — Pope and superior. Saves Gui Mei at Yue Guan’s request and later appoints the pair to lead the Enforcement Corps 12 13 36.
- Qian Jun and Jiang Mo — Senior Enforcement Corps elders and expedition commanders. Yue Guan and Gui Mei provide the restraints that enable their strongest coordinated attacks 21 26 34 35.
- Ye Tianxing — Healer whose treatment and advice help save Gui Mei. Yue Guan offers future assistance in gratitude 11 12.
