Smiles Old Ancestor

* Manhua
* Child Form

Initially the Old Ancestor of Yin-Yang Pass, Smiles Old Ancestor very quickly develops a favorable impression of the visiting Yang Kai on Ink Battlefield. As a long established 9th Rank Open Heaven Realm master, Smiles Old Ancestor serves as one of the most prominent Human Race powerhouses during the war against the Ink Clan.

## Appearance

In child form, she appears as a very beautiful 7 year old girl who looks to be carved from jade. In either form, she is notable for her bright eyes and her long black hair that falls to her waist.

## Personality

Smiles Old Ancestor has a decisive, commanding, yet somewhat down to earth personality, giving Yang Kai less pressure than any Old Ancestor he encountered during his initial time on Ink Battlefield.

## Background

Smiles Old Ancestor is introduced as an extremely talented and established 9th Rank Open Heaven Realm cultivator. A master of the Yin-Yang Grand Dao, Smiles is notable for practicing a unique Secret Art known as the **Samsara Art**, in which she must experience various Samsara, including the worldly affairs of mortals, in order to both promote her cultivation level and heal. Due to this Secret Art, Smiles Old Ancestor reverts to the form of a 7-8 year old little girl anytime she is heavily injured and/or in need of healing.

## History

### Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor

The Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor first meets an unknowing Yang Kai while in her apparently Origin King Realm child form shortly after the latter visits Yin-Yang Pass in preparation for his infiltration mission against the Ink Clan. Over the course of this time, the kindhearted Yang Kai indeed treats Smiles as if she were a child as they travel a bustling marketplace within the Mountain Pass, drawing several horrified reactions from the many powerhouses stationed there. At some point, Yang Kai comes to believe that the girl is actually a descendant of the Pass’s Old Ancestor, and reluctantly accepts an ancient coin at her urging before departing to complete his mission. As he departs, the Old Ancestor transforms back into her adult form under the respectful salute of her subordinates before departing herself.

Later, as Yang Kai is pursued by the Royal Lord of the King City he completed his mission in, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor appears through a Void Corridor created by the ancient coin she left the former in order to save his life. After a hard fought battle in which she suffers some injuries, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor manages to more seriously injure the King City’s Royal Lord before she is forced to escape back to her King’s Nest. After again running into Yang Kai, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor proceeds to slaughter the numerous Territory Lords in pursuit of them before reverting to her child form. Eventually, however, Smiles is safely delivered back to Yin-Yang Pass, where she later informs Yang Kai on the nature of her Secret Art.

Due to the fact Yang Kai’s Small Universe hosts an entire living world filled with countless lives, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor uses it as a place to heal so that she can recover in time to scare off the Ink Clansmen assaulting Yin-Yang Pass. Thanks in large part to the increased time flow of Yang Kai’s Small Universe, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor indeed recovers in time to completely demoralize an assaulting Ink Clan army, stabilizing the situation at Yin-Yang Pass enough for Yang Kai to depart back to Blue Sky Pass.

### "Smiles" Old Ancestor

After the Southern Army Commander of Yin-Yang Pass, Wu Qing of Red Clouds Paradise, promotes to the 9th Rank Open Heaven Realm to become the newest Old Ancestor, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor is freed to leave Yin-Ying Pass in his care as she takes charge of the newly formed Great Evolution Army. As she is the lead on the Great Evolution Army’s task of reclaiming the long-lost Great Evolution Pass from the Ink Clan, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor ensures that Yang Kai is part of her forces in part due to the advantages his Small Universe brings to her healing. After helping the Wind and Cloud Pass to secure its War Zone by severely injuring its Royal Lord alongside the Wind and Cloud Pass Old Ancestor, the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor proceeds to travel with the Eastern and Western Great Evolution Armies as Xiang Shan changes their course toward the Ink Clan's territory in order to enact a new strategy.

Though the Yin-Yang Pass Old Ancestor then proceeds to heavily injure the successfully drawn-out Great Evolution War Zone's Royal Lord, she also suffers injuries from this battle. However, as the Royal Lord heals within his King's Nest with the Eastern and Western Great Evolution Armies situated near his King City, the Old Ancestor uses Yang Kai's Small Universe to recover from her injuries in only a few decades of real world time. After completing a brand new Samsara, the Yin-Yang Old Ancestor decides to declare her new name as **"Smiles"** in honor of the name given to her by her adoptive mother during this experience.

Over the next 100 or so years, the newly named Smiles Old Ancestor proceeds to repeatedly injure the Great Evolution War Zone's Royal Lord while taking advantage of her more rapid recovery time, allowing both sets of Great Evolution Armies to greatly weaken the Ink Armies of their respective fronts. In this way, the Ink Clan of the Great Evolution War Zone eventually chooses to give up the Great Evolution Pass without a fight, allowing Smiles Old Ancestor and her Great Evolution Army to finally complete the Human Race defense line that has been compromised for over 30,000 years.

### Wind Mist Territory

The remaining two Old Ancestors spend the next 5,000 years restraining the heavily injured Ink Giant Spirit God by imprisoning his arm within the Wind Mist Territory. At one point during this period, Yang Kai comes to assist the Old Ancestors in this endeavor by using the Light of Purification to re-injure the Ink Clone.

Later, when the now Royal Lord Mo Na Ye comes with more than 20 Pseudo Royal Lords to free the Ink Giant Spirit God from the restraint of the two Old Ancestors, Smiles and Wu Qing are seemingly forced to retreat into the Spatial Territory. However, Smiles Old Ancestor reveals a subsequent hand left behind to her from Yang Kai during his past visit, and the true Giant Spirit God A Da is freed from a Universe World Bead to both wreak havoc on the ambush party and completely nullify the advantage of freeing the Ink Giant Spirit God.

### Return to Command

As a result of Yang Kai’s counter to Mo Na Ye’s plan, Smiles and Wu Qing are freed from their 5,000 year duty to restrain the Ink Clone. Smiles then rejoins the war effort by taking command of the Controlling Clouds Army, whereas Wu Qing proceeds to take command of the Purple Hong Army.
