**Yanti Mingye** 「演替明野 (Yǎntì Míngyě)」 is a powerful cultivator from Long Zhao Temple, the **Master Diviner** 「占卜大师 (Zhānbǔ Dàshī)」 and the eventual master of the Yongheng-Huayuan princess Zise.

Gongyi Xiao is her possible descendant, as the Yanti clan holds extremely strong political and socially economical ties with the Gongyi clan, due to the presence of a martial alliance that is renewed every couple thousand years.

## Appearance

A mid-core cultivator, Yanti Mingye has retained her petite and small stature and body frame, appearing as if she was a rather small teenager rather than the highly respected Master Diviner of one of the Great Sects. Her pale skin, light jade-green-blue eyes with sea green pupils, and very light waist-length jade-green/blue hair styled into a high ponytail are rather distinctive features of her appearance. Her ceremonial wear is that of a dark brown and white dress with golden constellation designs, along with white tights that have cloud patterns.

## Personality

Wise, strong, and extremely gifted, Yanti Mingye is the outlier of the militant Yanti clan and due to her position as the Master Diviner of the sect, she is a stronger believer in the power of faith and the divine to the point where she openly wears the hairpins of the first Master Diviner. These hairpins still containing power from the period in which the first Master Diviner ruled Long Zhao Temple and the cultivation world alongside the divine themselves, being considered sacred objects by the subsequent generations of High Elders yet are regarded as mere ritualistic hairpins by Mingye pretaining to her faith as the Master Diviner in the power of the divine.

A highly respected leader, she is the third most important governing body directly underneath the Sect Leader in the power hierachy, having on multiple occasions taken the reigns of power in the time that the Sect Leaders or the High Elders were unavaliable to handle normal operations of the sect themselves or in the event of incapacitation of both groups. Wise and strong while also being dignified and elegant, she is the pride and joy of Long Zhao Temple and is the ancient nemesis of Meng Mo (Dream Demon) due to not only their conflicting ideologies but also their goals for their own respective races conflicting with each other. Centuries ago, Meng Mo and Yanti were close allies, friends, and traveling companions yet the growing resentment between their races began sundering their friendship apart and eventually rendered their strong and seemingly unbreakable bond into pieces. In the end, despite her reservations and despite her inner protesting, the High Elders and the Master Diviner (Mingye's Shizun) at the time sealed away Meng Mo, with Mingye forcibly secluding herself into closed door cultivation to amend for her wrongdoings.

She has only taken on one formal disciple, Zise, due to her dislike for many of the sect's training practices and seeks to make her into the next Master Diviner of the sect.

## Background

Yanti Mingye comes from a flawless family background, with both his parents alive and well, and possessing a noble bloodline. She had outstanding talent and formidable spiritual power from youth. Her swordplay can be described as exceedingly marvelous. In short, she achieved success at a young age.

In Proud Immortal Demon Way, Yanti Mingye experienced massive damage to her dantian after she made decisions to supplant the missing spiritual power of the Matrix of Damocles, this in turn to her experiencing a qi deviation. The transmigration of
