Gu Bei

Another student in the 1st year Genius class at the Skysoul Institute. He is a member of one of the three strongest families in the Divine Feathers Sect, the Gu Clan. He is a direct descendant of the family along with his sister, Gu Lan. They both lost their parents at a young age and were seen as a threat for becoming the next successor to the family, making them a target.

After Gu Lan’s meridians were clogged, the family had exceptions for him; however, Gu Bei was a disappointment to everyone, an apparent complete good-for-nothing. This was because, in order to avoid attacks from those fighting to become the successor of the clan, he hid his talent and strength.

In truth, Gu Bei had spent the majority of his time cultivating sword intent under Gu Lan’s tutelage. His sword intent had already reached a frightening degree; if he didn’t intentionally suppress his cultivation, he’d immediately display his Heavenly Fate Realm strength.

## Appearance and Personality

Said to already have over twenty wives, he is largely disregarded has being a lazy loafer that is only motivated by lust. Despite appearing to be useless and harmless on the surface, it was merely an exaggeration that Gu Bei puts on to avoid gaining attention and hide his strength.

## Plot

### **Alternate Life**

In Nie Li's past life he knew of Gu Bei, a hundred years in the future, as an elusive expert on par with Long Yuyin. He was known for his formidable skill with the sword which was taught to him by his sister, Gu Lan. It was because of his powerful sword intent that he was able to become a Martial Ancestor Realm expert.
### **Current Life**

#### Joining the Skysoul Institute Arc

Nie Li:

After watching Long Yuyin approach Nie Li and Lu Piao and then leave, Gu Bei come up to introduce himself. He had heard the rumors about them and wanted to meet them as they seemed interesting. He also wanted to warn them about how dangerous provoking Long Yuyin can be. Though, he has his own interest in Long Yuyin, as he is attracted to her type. After a quick conversation with Lu Piao, they found that they had a similar interest in women and became fast friends.
He unexpectedly ran into Nie Li and Lu Piao again later that day, when they arrived at the Gu Clan's estate in the Skysoul Institute. Nie Li wanted to attempt the mission he had posted in the Cultivation Hall to heal his sister. Though Gu Bei was extremely skeptical, he also was desperate for any hope. When Nie Li proclaimed that she had been poisoned over a long period of time by the Scarlet Apex Herb, he swore that he would do anything for Nie Li if he could cure her. Since it would be dangerous to all of them if the person that poisoned her learned that she was being healed, they agree that it is best for her to continue to fake being injured for the time being.
Nie Li gave him a list of herbs to help slowly reduce the poison in her system. After seeing that the medicine really did help, Gu Bei offered Nie Li 1,500 spiritual stones out of gratefulness. However, since it would take awhile to cure her, Nie Li refused. Instead, he only took a half payment of five hundred Spiritual Stones and said he would only take the rest after she was fully cured. Because of all of this, Gu Bei has a very high opinion of Nie Li. He sees him as not only intelligent and wise, but also fair and honest.
Gu Heng:

Gu Lan and Gu Bei went to the Saint Soul Grounds when they heard about Nie Li's amazing performance as well as the bet with Long Yuyin. He was once again astonished by Nie Li's talent and agreed with his sister that he felt that Nie Li was very mysterious and still has many secrets. While they were watching the Saint Soul Board, they ran into the current successor of the Gu Clan, Gu Heng. Before Gu Lan's "illness" she was also considered a possible choice as clan successor, and so a threat to him. Even though he tries to provoke Gu Lan by casually calling her a cripple and mocking her, she ignores his words. Gu Bei also holds his temper, since they both are trying to hide their strength in order to avoid Gu Heng's focus for now.
Both Gu Lan and Gu Bei were further shocked when they saw Nie Li reach third on the Saint Soul Board, as they had still greatly underestimated his talent. The next day Gu Bei congratulated Nie Li over his win against Long Yuyin on the Saint Soul Board. Nie Li also told him about Gu Heng approaching him. When Nie Li told him that he rejected Gu Heng's offer, Gu Bei warned him that Gu Heng is the type to use underhanded methods. During the class, Gu Bei took the 500kg armguards and trained his physical condition along with Nie Li and Lu Piao. When they switched to combat drills he paired up with Lu Piao.
Long Yuyin:

Gu Bei is there when Long Yuyin demands that Nie Li spars with her and is shocked by the viciousness that both Nie Li and Long Yuyin fight each other with. At one point the two are in an awkward grappling position that others find rather embarrassing, even though they don't seem to notice. When the fight resumes and starts to get even more violent, Gu Bei even considers intervening in the fight to protect Nie Li, however his fears are dispelled when Nie Li gains the upper-hand and defeats her.

#### Acquiring Cultivation Resources Arc

Nie Li:

After hearing about Nie Li's run in with Murong Yu, Gu Bei is surprised to find Nie Li asking for him to collect as many demon beasts with Ordinary, Good, or Excellent growth rates as possible. Gu Bei is more then happy to help him out, due to him curing his sister, but was curious as to why Nie Li would want so many worthless demon spirits. His men were able to quickly gather 20,000 such demon spirits in one of the smaller realms in only a day and deliver them to him.
During class Gu Bei gave Nie Li another 60,000 demon spirits and Nie Li gives him 600 spiritual stones for buying dragon bloodline demon spirits with ordinary growth rates. Since Gu Bei heard about the bunch of god level growth rate demon spirits that Nie Li sold to Li Xingyun, he figures that Nie Li has a secret method, but has decided not to pry into Nie Li's secrets. He does ask, however, if Nie Li will sell some of those demon spirits to his family and he agrees.
In the next class he was shocked, along with everyone else, when Long Yuyin quietly approached Nie Li with a soft voice and asked him to spar with her. Not only did Nie Li agree, he also gave her insights into the flaws in her technique. It was obvious that something had drastically changed between them.
Over the next month or so Gu Bei continues to help Nie Li acquire vast amounts of dragon bloodline demon spirits and sell them for a huge quantity of spiritual stones. Nie Li later provides him with a god level dragon bloodline demon spirit.

#### The Heavenly Note and Skyblaze Sects Visit Arc

Nie Li:

Gu Bei went to get Nie Li and Lu Piao when the Heavenly Note and Skyblaze Sects came to visit the Divine Feathers Sect and took them into a side chamber where all the young geniuses and powerful family decedents were. This is also where they were holding the auction that Nie Li was selling off twenty extraordinary level dragon bloodline demon spirits at. After being introduced to Xiao Ning'er, they all sat together for the auction. Their group was quickly joined by Long Yuyin, Li Xingyun, Murong Yu, and Ye Xuan.
During the auction, Nie Li's twenty extraordinary level dragon bloodline demon spirits each sold for at least twenty-five thousand spiritual stones. Having basically no limit on money, Nie Li asked Gu Bei to bid on the items he wanted. This included one Heavenly Star level and five Heavenly Fate level Demon Soul’s Essences for about thirty thousand spiritual stones as well as thirty bottles of Heavenly Note Dew for another thirty thousand spiritual stones. Now that his sister has been healed and Nie Li has given him a god level dragon bloodline demon spirit, Gu Bei has decided to start to change his public image and reveal a bit of his strength. Being able to spend so much money like it is his own is a prime opportunity to do that.
Ye Xuan:

Since he found the way Ye Xuan was going after Xiao Ning'er annoying, Gu Bei did not hesitate to snub him despite his family background.
Murong Yu:

During the auction, Murong Yu only had about fifteen thousand Spiritual Stones. However, whenever he attempted to bid on something he was constantly outbid by Gu Bei, making him very frustrated. Out of anger, he started to bid maliciously with the idea of only costing Gu Bei more. However Gu Bei realized this and tricked Murong Yu, sticking him with a grade 3 Amethyst Weight Vest artifact.
Nie Li:

After many more purchases Gu Bei paid for the items and collected the spiritual stones from the sale of the demon spirits and then passed everything to Nie Li. In the end, he spent one hundred and seventy-eighty thousand spiritual stones, while gaining a lot of good treasures in return.
When the highlight of the auction, the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting came up, Nie Li asked Gu Bei to win the painting for him. After a bidding war between Long Tianming, Mingyue Wushuang, and Yan Yang, Gu Bei was able to win it with a bid of 250,000 spiritual stones.
Gu Bei's Cultivation:

After the auction, he was there to witness the profound dao intent displayed by Long Tianming, Mingyue Wushuang, and Yan Yang. So he was surprised when Nie Li went up to display his skills. He thought that Nie Li must have a plan, but could not imagine that his skills could actually surpass those that had already preformed. Nie Li then specifically told Gu Bei to pay close attention, as his display will help his cultivation. After focusing on the "sword" calligraphy, Gu Bei could feel a deep and profound sword intent while many others could not. This was because Gu Bei's cultivation focused on the sword. Though he confirmed the powerful nature of Nie Li's word, Ye Xuan and Murong Yu did not believe him until it was confirmed by Yan Yang.
When Nie Li returned to the table he asked about Gu Bei's comprehension of the sword intent. After Gu Bei said he was able to detect it, but not fully comprehend it. Nie Li said he would write another word for him after the auction.

#### Supporting Allies Arc

Nie Li:

Gu Bei was surprised to hear about the hidden intent left behind by the expert on the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting and was only too happy to send one of his people into the Outside World to "accidentally" get rid of the copy. He later met up with them again and took them to see the sparring matches on the martial field.

Gu Heng:

After getting so much attention during the auction, Gu Bei knew that Gu Heng would take the first opportunity to put him back in his place. Since most of the Gu Clan was here, this was the perfect opportunity to show off his true strength. So he continued to act weak and suggested to the others that he wanted to join in on the sparring. Gu Heng was all too happy to set him up with a sparring partner.
Gu Bei's Spars and Cultivation:

The first person he fought was the legend rank demon spiritualist, Gu Kuan. He attacked Gu Bei seriously from the start; however, he was easily defeated in a single strike. Gu Bei stopped his previous farces and started going all out on his incoming opponents.
He won just as fast with his second opponent, Gu Yun, a 1 fate demon spiritualist. Only this time he displayed his powerful understanding of sword intent. Ever since he’d received Nie Li’s calligraphy word ‘sword’, he’d gleaned an entirely new comprehension towards sword intent, so much that he’d reached a new level.
His last match was against the 3 Fate demon spiritualist, Gu Bing. Just from the excitement and pressure of the fight, Gu Bei was able to immediately breakthrough to 2 fate Heavenly Fate realm. He also merged with his demon spirit, a god level dragon bloodline Dragon Bone Winged Tiger that Nie Li had given him. He then directly slammed Gu Bing into the ground, resulting in a one hit knockout.
Gu Ya:

After recognizing Gu Bei's talent as well as his god level dragon bloodline demon spirit, Gu Ya announced that Gu Bei was now a successor candidate for the next clan head and declared that they would hold an emergency elder meeting. At the meeting the patriarch, Gu Tianlong, surprised everyone by making Gu Bei the first in-line successor and lowering Gu Heng to be the second. Nie Li guessed that this was most likely because they had some knowledge of Gu Heng's underhanded method of poisoning Gu Lan.
Gu Lan:

Gu Lan warned him that this was only in name, as he doesn't yet have any of his own forces established in the outside world and that he must not get carried away.
Nie Li:

Nie Li started to form a new force with Gu Bei and Lu Piao which he named the Demon League. While recruiting new members they used Gu Bei's status as well as an unheard of high monthly salary and benefits based on how high their cultivation reaches. They also promised everyone a strong cultivation method that fit them. In the first day they were able to recruit over six hundred people, including three Heavenly Star Realm experts.

#### Gathering Deity's Lakes Arc

Demon League:

Under Lu Piao and Gu Bei's control, the Demon League took hold of its first Deity's Lake in the outside world to use as a base. With their growing strength and the generous allowance that they gave out, many dozens of small leagues asked to join them. This included Heng Yan's Ancient Jade League, who brought with him a nearly dead Deity's Lake. Since Nie Li was providing them with more then enough spiritual stones, they welcomed all of them. In just a single month, the Demon League reached over three thousand members. While Nie Li removed the Deity’s Roots from any lakes that they brought with them.
Gu Heng:

Unexpectedly, Gu Heng suddenly shows up one day at their base with a combined force of over ten thousand men, many of which are even Heavenly Star Realm, and quickly surround the Demon League. He then tries to pressure Gu Bei into backing down from the patriarch competition and disband his people, by promising to share the Gu Clan with him. Gu Bei tried to stall by asking to think about the offer, but Gu Heng was not going to allow that to happen and directly attacked.
The fight was a one sided massacre, as Gu Heng's troops greatly outnumbered and outranked the Demon Leagues. While Gu Heng was chasing after him, Gu Bei was suddenly able to have a breakthrough in his understanding of the Ancestral Sword intent and struck out. He was even almost able to kill him, despite Gu Heng's much high cultivation, as the Ancestral Sword intent transcends cultivation. Gu Heng refused to acknowledge that Gu Bei actually has such an advanced comprehension of sword dao and was just as he was about to kill him, when Li Xingyun arrived with hie Heavenly Path League.
Even though Li Xingyun still lacked the numbers, he made up for it with quality; as many of his people are Heavenly Axis and Heavenly Star Realm experts. However, they still suffered heavy losses. They still were not able to hold out against the overwhelming numbers, so Li Xingyun lead the remaining troops out of the encirclement and escaped. Even though Lu Piao, Gu Bei, and Li Xingyun all survived, over 75% of their people were killed.
After talking it over with Nie Li, they decided that rather than escalating the war with more troops, they will instead focus their attacks on Gu Heng and his Blood Moon League. As the instigator, if they can rob his Deity's Lakes of their Deity roots and weaken him, then the other faction leaders will back off on their own. With this in mind, Gu Bei, Lu Piao, and Li Xingyun took five hundred of their troops to target one of his Deity's Lakes. Their surprise attacks was successful, as they killed about a thousand of the Blood Moon League's weaker members. They also gathered some Intel about one of Gu Heng’s trusted aides has been embezzling spiritual stones and planned to recruit him as a spy.
He Gui:

They approach He Gui while he is at a brothel in the Mingshan Stronghold and offer him two thousand spiritual stones every time he reports on Gu Heng's location. While if he refuses, Gu Bei will let Gu Heng find out about the embezzlement. Not having much choice in the matter, He Gui agreed with the condition that they help him pull down another of Gu Heng's loyal underling, Chai Yue. Gu Bei agreed to this and planned on framing Chai Yue as the traitor. Before leaving, He Gui wrote letters implicating himself at Gu Bei's request and then was given two thousand spiritual stones.
Li Yufeng:

Afterwards they went to the Celestial Treasure Pavilion to purchase some new artifacts and ran in to Li Yufeng, who Li Xingyun chose to ignore. After Gu Bei flirted with the sales girl, Cai Die, Nie Li shocked and impressed him by bargaining down the trading house's prices to their lowest limit. He then bought Gu Bei a grade 6 artifact sword, the Meteorite Sword, and armor. Between their blatant disregard for him as well as their show of spending so many spiritual stones, Li Yufeng left in a foul mood without making a purchase, so Li Xingyun warned the others to be on guard against him.

#### Entering the East District Arc

Murong Yu:

Now that a year has passed, Nie Li, Lu Paio, Long Yuyin, and Gu Bei are able to move to the east district from their class. Gu Bei was there to witness Nie Li's fight with Murong Yu. Due to his extremely expensive and rare artifacts, the fight was a humiliation that was completely one sided against Murong Yu. As much as he enjoyed watching Muring Yu's humiliating defeat by Nie Li, he was rather disappointed when the elders, Nanmen Tianhai and Huang Yu, restricted them to grade three artifacts or below.
Ye Chong:

He watched as Nie Li fought the even more powerful Ye Chong at the request of the elders. Though he grew very nervous for Nie Li's safety, as it was obvious that Ye Chong was aiming to kill him, there was little he could do. Fortunately, Nie Li was finally able to defeat Ye Chong, although he was forced to reveal his god level growth rate Bloodwing Saint Jiao-dragon.
Venerable Flameless:

When Venerable Flameless insisted that Nie Li needed to fight another directly after the difficult battle, it became obvious to everyone that he was trying to kill Nie Li. Li Xingyun did his best dissuade Venerable Flameless, but with his position there was very little he could do. After Nie Li refused to fight, Venerable Flameless even went so far as to publicly accuse Nie Li of being a spy of the Demon God Sect. This enraged Gu Bei and Nie Li's other friends who shouted out in his defense.
Long Yuyin:

To everyone's surprise, Nie Li suddenly changed his mind and agreed to the match. This worried Long Yuyin and she asked him not to fight, showing her concern for him.
Guo Huai:

There was little Gu Bei could do besides anxiously watch as Nie Li fought against Guo Huai. Even though he was confident in his ability, Guo Huai is five Heavenly Fate ranks higher then him. When it did not seem like Nie Li would be able to win, Gu Bei and the others where about to intervene in the fight when Li Xingyun stopped them. Nie Li was suddenly able to break through to 5 fate and use his renewed strength to ruthless ram the exhausted Guo Huai until he won.
Gu Bei's Cultivation:

Gu Bei presumably fought his own sparring matches and performed well, but was completely over shadowed by Nie Li's fights.

#### Striking Back at Gu Heng Arc

Gu Heng:

With the information provided by He Gui, Lu Xingyun's Heavenly Path League and Gu Bei's Demon League, had been targeting Gu Heng. They were able to kill him three times and cause sever losses to his troops. They only backed off after Gu Heng mysteriously gained the aid of two hundred Heavenly Axis Realm experts.
After easily ambushing the few hundred members of the Blood Moon League guarding Gu Heng's Heiyun Deity’s Lake, Nie Li extracted the Deity Root, they then headed towards Gu Heng's Guyu Deity’s Lake. At the Lightning Deity’s Lake they finally ran into some difficulty, as there was a large defending force. However, Nie Li was not worried about losses, as long as he extracted the Deity Root then they will have won.
Gu Bei ordered his forces to protect Nie Li and then dived into the battle along with the others, protected by his grade six artifact armor. However, Nie Li had provided the most loyal elite troops each with a normally rare dragon bloodline extraordinary growth demon spirit. So when these incredibly strong and intimidating troops attacked the defenders, they instead abandoned the lake and ran away. Nie Li immediately then headed to the heart of the Deity's Lake and started to extract the root.
When Gu Heng arrived he immediately had his troops attack, and though their were many losses on both sides, he could not end the battle quickly because of the grade six artifacts armor and powerful demon spirits on their side. As Li Xingyun, Gu Bei, and Lu Piao desperately blocked Gu Heng's attacks so that Nie Li could complete extracting the Deity Root, eight to nine thousand reinforcements arrived to assist them. This included a hundred Heavenly Axis Realm experts from Long Yuyin's Profound Note League. However, this was countered by Gu Heng also received his own reinforcements of five to six thousand men from Li Yufeng.
Finally, Nie Li was able to complete his Inscription Pattern array and extract the lake's Deity Root. After storing it inside the painting he quickly ordered a retreat. However, while escaping Nie Li became separated and surrounded by enemies, just as it looked like he was going to die, Xiao Yu suddenly grabbed him and activated a space-time artifact ring and they teleported away. Gu Bei, Li Xingyun, Lu Piao, and about half their forces then escaped back to the Divine Feathers Sect.

#### Visiting the Void Illusionary Divine Palace Arc

After returning, Gu Bei learned from one of his people, Gu Teng, that Gu Heng was seeking to impeach him. Since destroying Deity's Lake was something that had never happened before, he was trying to gather support amongst the elders to move against Gu Bei.

#### Cultivating in the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting Arc

Gu Bai and Gu Feng:

He approached several of the elders that had long supported Gu Heng, but were easily swayed with money. Gu Heng had original bought their loyalty, so Gu Bei only had to offer a greater amount. He first flattered the eight elder, Gu Bai and handed him several spiritual stone essances as well as a sixth grade artifact, and then went to see the ninth elder, Gu Feng.
At the meeting, after listening to both Gu Heng and Gu Bei's sides of the conflict, Gu Tianlong asked for the elders to weigh in. Things quickly moved the way Gu Bei wanted, as both Gu Bai and Gu Feng, spoke out in his support. In the end Gu Bei was still fined 1.5 million spiritual stones for destroying the Deity's Lake, however Gu Heng was severely punished with thirty years "facing the wall" (reflect on his actions) for his dishonorable actions. Though Gu Yu tried to talk up for him, in the end there was nothing he could do.
Nie Li:

After Nie Li finally returned to the Divine Feathers Sect, Lu Piao and Gu Bei told him that Long Tianming had returned with 5 - 6 million spiritual stones. However, Nie Li quickly put their worries about spiritual stones to rest. He passed control of the Demon League completely to Lu Piao and Gu Bei and gave them each 10 million spiritual stones to cover any costs. Nie Li then made them swear secrecy and brought them into the Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting. After seeing all the Deity's Lake, Gu Bei suggested that Nie Li recruit members of the Sky Origin Divine Clan and he agreed.
Gu Bei's Cultivation:

Nie Li then gave Lu Piao and Gu Bei some of his blood with the demon beast primordial bloodline to drink. As the power within the blood flowed into them, Nie Li then constructed a Sky Dragon Nine-Blazing Secret Technique Array. The array drew out their demon spirits and allowed them to quickly advance their cultivation. In this way he was able to break through into the Heavenly Star Realm, reaching 3 Star in only a few days.
After exiting the painting and learning about Li Yufeng's sudden rise in troops, Nie Li decided to head to the border of the Endless Desert and recruit some of the Dao of Dragon rank Sky Origin Divine Clan experts. While he is gone he asked Gu Bei, as well as Lu Paio and Li Xingyun to manage things in the sect.

#### Recruiting from the Sky Origin Divine Clan Arc

While Nie Li was away, the Demon league struggled against the overwhelming and strong forces against them. They also attempted to support the Heavenly Path league and Profound Note leagues, since Long Yuyin was also not there, however it was to the point that any member that left the boundary of the Divine Feathers Sect would be immediately killed.

#### Becoming the Sect Master Arc

Gu Bei's Cultivation:

After returning to the sect, Nie Li told Long Yuyin, Gu Bei, Li Xingyun , and Lu Piao about the Divine Phaseless Fruits and the Divine Elixir that he was going to refine. According to what he said, with this elixir, Gu Bei would be able to quickly advance to the Dao of Dragon Realm. After watching Lu Piao's incredible advancement when he tried one of these new elixirs, Gu Bei was excited to take one himself. He then spent the next month or so concentrating on advancing his cultivation.
Situ Beiyan:

Gu Bei was with Nie Li when he approached Situ Beiyan and warned him of Long Tianming's possible connections to the Demon God Sect. He also asked Situ Beiyan for his support in the competition for the acting sect master position. Gu Bei, Li Xingyun, and Long Yuyin all spoke up and voiced to Situ Beiyan that they have complete faith in Nie Li.
Gu Lan:

Gu Bei passed some of the Divine Elixirs on to his sister as well and was shocked by how fast her cultivation rose to the 2 stage Dao of Dragon realm. Now that Gu Bei has firmly become the first in line successor of the Gu Clan, he will soon become the Skyway Hall’s Deacon. With the support of Gu Lan, he should have no troubles with his new position.
Nie Li:

When Nie Li was suddenly struck with overwhelming pain, he did not know what to do. After making him as comfortable as possible and calling for the best doctors, however there was nothing anyone could do but watch over him. After awhile the pain seemed to lessen and Nie Li fell asleep, making Gu Bei feel a little easier. Even still he was extremely nervous and scared of losing a close friend and did not understand what had happened.
Long Tianming:

Nie Li was still unconscious when the day of the competition for the acting sect master arrived. Not knowing what else to do, Gu Bei, Lu Piao, Li Xingyun, and Long Yuyin decided to support Situ Beiyan. Just as Gu Bei was about to watch Long Tianming be declared the Acting Sect Master, Nie Li finally arrived.
At first, Long Tianming tried to disqualify Nie Li from competing for being late, but the Hierarchs refused. Then he claimed that Nie Li was cheating by bringing out a hundred Sky Origin Divine Clan members, when that didn't work either he accused Nie Li of being backed by the demon clans. However, no matter what Long Tianming said, the Big Five showed unwavering support for Nie Li.
The Big Five and the new Sect Master:

When Long Tianming still refused to accepts his loss, Hierarch Linglong revoked his positions and status then sentenced him to ten months house arrest. Hierarch Martialsky then directly announced his retirement and promoted Nie Li to Sect Master. Even though there was some discontentment form the sect, who where confused by the rapid change, Nie Lie was able to quickly win them over by providing each member ten spiritual elixirs according to their cultivation level, as well as hundreds of God-level Dragon blood-line Demon Spirits to the sect. He also sealed the gates to the sect and rooted out enemy spies.
Gu Bei completely supported Nie Li as the new sect master and was one of his elite followers. He was excited to use their new strength to attack the Demon God Sect, however, Nie Li instead decided to close the sect for five years as everyone focused on raising their cultivation. Only attacking the Demon God Sect after they had built up overwhelming power.

#### The Divine Feathers Sect's Rise Arc

Ling Kong:

Gu Bei is there when Ling Kong, the young master of the Lingyun Sect arrives and proposes marriage with Long Yuyin.
