Hu Qinglei

## 呼庆雷

**Hu Qinglei** was an Early-Deity Transformation grand elder of the Heavenly Devil Sect residing within the Great Jin. He is one of the few Human Deity Transformation cultivators residing in the Mortal World. He is renown for his single-handed accomplishment of raising the Heavenly Devil Sect to be the number one sect practicing the Devil Dao within the Great Jin.

**Hu Qinglei** was not dedicated to the pursuit of the Dao. He indulged in worldly affairs and his own desires. As a result, he pursued and claimed beautiful women that he encountered, making them his concubines.

## Trapping a Violet Fairy

By chance, **Hu Qinglei** encountered a country-shattering beauty renown as Violet Spirit on one of his journeys. As she was a Nascent Soul cultivator, he considered her a rare specimen and desired to possess her as his concubine. Normally, **Hu Qinglei** coerced female cultivators into becoming his concubines by showering them with benefits. However, he strongly wanted Violet Spirit to the point of placing restrictions on her body. He forcefully brought her back to the Heavenly Devil Sect to formally cement their union in a ceremony.

## First Meeting

**Hu Qinglei** was elated with his newly acquired concubine. He invited human Deity Transformation cultivators across the Mortal World to attend. As a result, he was introduced to a Han Li who was brought as an acquaintance of another Deity Transformation cultivator named Xiang Zhili. **Hu Qinglei** was surprised that his other Deity Transformation peers regarded Han Li as an equal despite his Peak-Nascent Soul cultivation. **Hu Qinglei** learned that Han Li was single-handily dismantled the Yin Sifting Sect killing its two Late-Nascent Soul grand elders and numerous Nascent Soul elders. After learning this, **Hu Qinglei** outwardly adopted a gentle stance seeking to avoid conflict.

However, **Hu Qinglei** grew upset when he learned that Han Li had prior history with his beloved concubine to-be. In an attempt to avoid conflict, **Hu Qinglei** provided his future concubine the opportunity to say goodbye. However, Han Li interfered and directly challenged **Hu Qinglei**. Wary of conflict between Deity Transformation-like existences, **Hu Qinglei** provided Han Li with several opportunities to save face and renounce ties with Violet Spirit. Han Li renounced the opportunities.

Upset, **Hu Qinglei** was ready to risk his lifespan to kill Han Li. However, **Hu Qinglei** was dissuaded by his Deity Transformation peers after learning that Han Li possessed valuable knowledge of Spirit Streams that connected the mortal world with the Spirit Realm. In a secret negotiation between **Hu Qinglei** and Han Li, **Hu Qinglei** was persuaded to release Violet Spirit in exchange for rare cultivation materials and knowledge of the Spirit Streams. Having lost face in front of Han Li, **Hu Qinglei** agreed only under the condition that Han Li survive one attack. **Hu Qinglei** intended to inflict lasting harm onto Han Li.

However, **Hu Qinglei** was unprepared for Han Li to be able to withstand the attack. **Hu Qinglei** was enraged at being embarrassed even further by his inability to deal with a Nascent Soul cultivator. Before **Hu Qinglei** could unleash his fury, the fight was interrupted by Xiang Zhili who intended to protect and befriend Han Li who still possessed invaluable knowledge required to ascend to the Spirit Realm. Having lost, **Hu Qinglei** reluctantly freed Violet Spirit.

## Ascending to the Spirit Realm

Centuries later, Xiang Zhili discovered a promising spatial node connected to the Spirit Realm usable by Early-Deity Transformation stage cultivators. **Hu Qinglei** joined together with several other human Deity Transformation cultivators to travel through the spatial node to the Spirit Realm. He died when multiple spatial storms hit the spatial node that he was traveling through.
