Duanmu Qun

## [source]

**Duanmu Qun** is a Fey martial artist from the Divine Wood Holy Land, a Super Holy Land nearing a sixth-grade sect. In the past, besides Lin Ming, Duanmu Qun was recognized as the number one talent of the Blood Slaughter Steppes.

He develops a good friendship with Lin Ming and, along with Lan Xin and Feng Shen, they would embark on an adventure towards the Central Region of the Sky Spill Continent.

## Appearance

This fellow was slender with an otherworldly handsome appearance. His face was like jade, his temperament, appearance, strength, everything he had was truly irreproachable. Just by standing there, he seemed to give off a heavenly bright and breezy energy like the fresh spring wind.

## Personality

According to Duanmu Qun’s character in the past, he was always happy to speak with heroic elites of the world. He was the type that would explore as far as he could in his martial road.

The average person would have thought that it was sad to be born in the same era as a monstrous genius, but Duanmu Qun didn’t think so.

If he sat alone on the highest peak with nothing but his own desolate solitude, then that would only be an immeasurably chilly position, and he would be doing nothing more than wasting his own potential

On the other hand, if he had a rival, then both of them could try to surpass the other and they could both make great strides of progress beside each other.

This was the self-confidence that belonged to a true top talent.

## Background

Duanmu Qun, Lan Xin, and Feng Shen - all three of them are future successors to their Holy Lands, characters who can be called Saintesses and Saint Sons.

They came from Holy Lands with four or five Emperor level powerhouses, some of which were two-star Fey Emperors or even three-star Fey Emperors!

Even the Blood Slaughter Steppes was terrified of these superpowers. They had no choice but to open a part of their resources to the descendants of those elite Holy Lands. This included the Road of Emperor and even the Eternal Demon Abyss. All of it was a compromise.

### **Divine Wood Holy Land**

He came from a Fey super Holy Land, the Divine Wood Holy Land.

They could also be barely considered a quasi sixth-grade sect, but was just shy of coming close to one of the four Divine Kingdoms.

The four Divine Kingdoms were not only powerful but they also had many fifth-grade sects subordinate to them. This point alone far surpassed the Divine Wood Holy Land.

## Cultivation

He himself was a Fey, and his understandings of Laws had reached an extremely high degree.

His perception was incomparably monstrous, and with his young age, he had already thoroughly studied his Divine Wood Holy Land’s core cultivation methods.

### **Concept of Space**

The Fey had a naturally superior compatibility with Laws than humans, and in addition to being personally directed and taught by the three-star Fey Emperor, the Highest Elder of the Divine Wood Holy Land, Duanmu Qun’s attainments in the Concepts of Space and Time were very high.

Lin Ming and Duanmu Qun's respective Concepts of Space had taken entirely different paths, but both were incomparably exquisite styles. Originally, Duanmu Qun already had some understanding of the Concept of Space, but after gaining experience via passing through the ancient transmission array, his progress in that aspect had increased by leaps and bounds.

In terms of the Concepts of Water and Wood, he was also satisfactory. In the comprehension of Concepts, he was confident that he wouldn’t lost to anyone.

## Relationships

Saying that true feelings would be exposed in the face of adversity was no exaggeration. When Lin Ming was facing the simultaneous attack of three people and hadn’t yet become a twelve-winged Heavenly Demon, he had been at a great disadvantage.

At that time, Duanmu Qun and the rest had abandoned their own resources, taking a risk that Elder Xiao would kill them all in order to obtain a new spear for Lin Ming. None of this was an easy decision to make.

As Lin Ming traveled along his road of martial artists, all the way until this point, he had seen countless grudges and enmities exposed. He had seen intrigue, danger, hatred, all the worse facets of human nature. But, as for those people that were grateful and remembered the kindnesses that were given to them, he had actually seen very few.

### **Lin Ming**

Out of the three Fey companions, aside from Feng Shen, Duanmu Qun was the first to know the true depth of Lin Ming's accomplishments. He basically saw him as a a tiger wearing a sheep’s skin. A farm animal that could not be angered.

During there adventure in the Eternal Demon Abyss, Duanmu Qun felt increasing awe and fear towards Lin Ming. He no longer took Lin Ming as a rival, but rather as a future earth-shaking and heaven-conquering legend.

Perhaps… even being the number one master of the Holy Demon Continent wouldn’t be enough to satisfy Lin Ming. In the future, it was very likely that he would break through the martial void and step into the Realm of the Gods, even becoming an overlord of a territory there.

That is why he decided that he would befriend Lin Ming by returning the favor of saving their lives. When Lin Ming had been forced into a corner by the Polaris Tower Master, Great Ax, and Elder Xiao, Duanmu Qun had taken Lin Ming's side by giving away their three earth-step Demon God Bones in exchange for one of the High Lord's white heaven-step spear.

To befriend a top master in the prime of their youth and also temper that friendship through the fires of life and death, this sort of friendship would be extremely strong and reliable in the future.

Going out, making friends and comrades, knowing masters, all of this would be of great help in the future. Even for someone like Lin Ming who tended towards being a loner, he still liked to make friends. For instance, gaining access to materials, news, and so forth, all of this would be much easier in the future with a friend to help him.

However, he didn't expect that he would later become true comrades with this future great figure.

### **Lan Xin**

Both of them were of the same race, and, as descendants of Holy Lands, they naturally knew each other.

Because of the interests and entanglement of their sects, him and Lan Xin couldn’t develop a budding relationship as a man and a woman. But, after knowing each other for so many years, their friendship was still very deep.

When she had been under the spell of the heaven-step Demon God Bone, he had tried to appease Lin Ming from killing her. But after the events that happened in the Eternal Demon Abyss, these four would form a bond of friendship that was born from the trials of battle.

### **Feng Shen**

The peak Emperor level talents of the Skysplit Towers were often Fey. Feng Shen also came from a Holy Land and was old acquaintances with Duanmu Qun. They can even be considered rivals. But after the events that happened in the Eternal Demon Abyss, these four would form a bond of friendship that was born from the trials of battle.

## Plot

### **Intro**

Duanmu Qun was a peerless genius of his era when it came to willpower. Not just that, but he had a terrifying background and a talent that surpassed even Lan Xin. In addition to his exceedingly high perception and top cultivation methods, Duanmu Qun could be said to truly be a favored son of heaven.

These past twenty some years, every outstanding heroic youth after heroic youth was defeated in front of Duanmu Qun. Even deacons that were several dozen years older than him were not his match. Gradually, inevitably, this invincible, infallible mindset had engraved itself into Duanmu Qun’s bones.

This was the self-confidence and pride that belonged to a top genius.

### **Skysplit Tower**

Daunmu Qun meets Lin Ming at the Blood Slaughter Steppes. Lan Xin and Feng Shen are his acquaintances during his stay in the towers.

They become good friends after going through hardships and multiple life-death situations in the Eternal Demon Abyss.

Afterwards, he accompanies Lin Ming when he returned to the Sky Spill Continent along with Feng Shen and Lan Xin.

### **Sky Spill Continent**

For a Holy Land descendant to leave their Holy Land, the original reason for this was to go on adventures and gain experience. Walking 10,000 miles would always be superior to reading 10,000 books. If she could broaden her horizons and accumulate more knowledge and experience, this would be of great advantage to her cultivation and future growth.

In order to become a martial artist that stood at the peak, it was impossible to just lord over a tiny kingdom in a corner of the world. In a sense, this would be the first time that they truly faced the outside world.

### **200 years later**

During one of Lin Ming's travels in the mortal world, he had visited the Fey race.

He saw Duanmu Qun, Feng Shen, and Lan Xin.

These three people had partied together with Lin Ming in the Blood Slaughter Steppes, fighting with him. They had risked their lives with Lin Ming and there could be considered some friendship between them.

These three people had also reached the Divine Sea realm.

On the Sky Spill Planet, someone that could become an emperor in a hundred years was a peerless genius. As for Duanmu Qun and the others, they had accomplished this in their sixties.

In particular, Duanmu Qun. He was making steps towards the middle Divine Sea realm. In his Holy Land, he held onto an extremely high level of authority and was slowly ascending to become the successor.

In the future, he becomes a Divine Sea powerhouse at the level of Situ Haotian, a middle Divine Sea master, even having hopes of becoming a late stage Divine Sea powerhouse.

Lin Ming quietly arrived, left behind lucky chances for the three of them, and then departed once more.
