Gu Qianxun — A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Gu Qianxun is a leading physical cultivator of the Scalptia Spatial Domain, the head of Green Goat City's first arena area, and the leader of the Myriad Bone Alliance. Her calm authority and measured judgment conceal a vendetta against Du Qingyang, who murdered her mother, as well as a debt to Shi Pokong that draws her into the Devil Realm princes' conflict. She is tall and proportionate, with an ordinary face, bright eyes, glowing skin, and a composure that makes her more striking than conventionally prettier companions. (Chapters 3325–3326)

Biography

Arena leader and calculated recruiter

By the time Gu Qianxun enters the story, she is the undisputed strongest of Green Goat City's ten arena-area leaders and commands gladiators from across those areas through the Myriad Bone Alliance. After observing Han Li, then known as Li Feiyu, she recognizes that his composure and adaptability matter more than his visible profound-acupoint count. She offers protection from Toxic Dragon in exchange for joining her alliance, but accepts Han's refusal without retaliation and accurately anticipates that he can turn the confrontation to his advantage. (Chapters 3325–3328)

Her interest soon becomes a mutually useful working relationship rather than an attempt to subordinate him. Gu Qianxun offers the arm-strengthening Titan Vajra Arts and beast cores for Han's speed-focused Wingform Ascension Arts and personal insights. She bargains hard, accepts his demand for secrecy, and swears not to transmit the art. The exchange shows both her practical understanding of physical cultivation and her willingness to respect a peer's boundaries when a direct recruitment effort fails. (Chapters 3331–3332)

A thirty-thousand-year vendetta

Gu Qianxun's public arena career is eventually revealed as cover for a much older purpose. Thirty thousand years earlier, Du Qingyang abducted her mother, Yan Hongyu, and used the Sinha Blood Array to extract her true-spirit bloodline until her body detonated. Gu entered Green Goat City more than six thousand years before the present events and patiently rose through its arena while waiting for a chance to retaliate. When Chen Yang turns the blood array against Du, Gu intervenes openly, declares her identity, and joins the assault that kills the city lord. (Chapters 3339–3340)

The victory does not make her trust Chen Yang blindly. After Du's death, she helps erase evidence and suppress his remaining forces, but warns Han that Chen can be extraordinarily effective and equally dangerous. When Chen fails to produce an immediate cure for the Black Tribulation Centipedes controlling her and Han, she coordinates with Han before accepting a delayed promise rather than surrendering leverage. She later uses treasures taken from Du's vault to pass an unspecified bottleneck, concealing the gain until Han notices it. (Chapters 3341–3348)

The Five City Martial Gathering

Gu Qianxun enters the Five City Martial Gathering as one of Green Goat City's leading representatives. She wins her early contests without visible injury, advises Han about the formidable Feng Wuchen, and remains a rallying figure for the city's other competitors. Her own match against Fang Chan demonstrates both nerve and adaptability: she attacks during his transformation, uses a golden spear to contest his axes, and keeps evading after his sudden increase in speed and force until the gathering is suspended. (Chapters 3348–3369)

When the contest gives way to an expedition into the Great Ruins, Gu accepts the danger because the ruins promise rare opportunities and a possible way to change the balance among the cities. She travels with Green Goat City's delegation and repeatedly backs Han when rival groups threaten him, including stepping to his side when fighters from Excess Passage City confront him. Her support is not simple friendship, however; she is already balancing Green Goat loyalties, her father's plans, and an undisclosed obligation to Shi Pokong. (Chapters 3372–3385)

Covert orders in the Great Ruins

The hidden obligation becomes decisive when Gu Qianxun attacks Shi Chuankong. Han blocks her, and their former cooperation nearly becomes a lethal clash. She later explains that Shi Pokong saved her from dying alongside her mother and enabled her eventual revenge, leaving her bound to carry out his order to eliminate both Shi Chuankong and Shi Zhanfeng. Her reluctance to become Han's enemy does not erase the debt, but Han's warning establishes a boundary: he will tolerate her pursuit of Shi Zhanfeng, not another attempt on Shi Chuankong. (Chapters 3391–3392, 3427–3428)

Gu continues after Shi Zhanfeng despite severe wounds and refuses to surrender her employer when he nearly kills her. Han saves her, after which she admits the political truth behind her actions. She ultimately completes the assignment by driving a white spear through Shi Zhanfeng's head during the struggle around the holy remains. The kill fulfills her debt to Shi Pokong while also sparing Han from being the direct killer of the Night Sun Empire's eldest prince, though it leaves her aligned with forces whose purposes extend beyond her original revenge. (Chapters 3427–3433)

Defection to Puppet City

After E Kuai's fall, Gu Qianxun and her father, Mistress Liu Hua, abandon the collapsing Profound City order and petition Sha Xin to accept them into Puppet City. Their knowledge of Profound City's forces and defenses makes the offer valuable, and Sha Xin grants them citizenship. Gu then makes significant contributions to Puppet City's consolidation of the spatial domain. When settling remaining vendettas in Profound End City, she confines eighty-one fatal contests to its arena over seven days, preventing civilian deaths and collateral damage even while carrying out a ruthless purge. (Chapters 3438, 3442)

Abilities and cultivation

Gu Qianxun is a Profound Immortal-style body cultivator who draws on starpower and opened profound acupoints rather than relying on accessible immortal spiritual power inside the Scalptia Spatial Domain. The story establishes her as Green Goat City's strongest arena-area leader and shows that she later passes a bottleneck, but it never states her exact personal acupoint total or names a formal realm transition. Her demonstrated strengths are physical power, composure under pressure, technical weapon use, and a sharp ability to read other combatants. (Chapters 3325–3328, 3348)

Physical cultivation and movement

Gu understands how the placement of profound acupoints shapes a cultivator's strengths. She identifies the speed emphasis of Han's Wingform Ascension Arts, explains why speed alone becomes insufficient against higher-tier scaled beasts, and trades the strength-focused Titan Vajra Arts for the movement art. This confirms her access to both methods, but only her acquisition of Wingform Ascension Arts is explicit; the narrative does not demonstrate how many of its acupoints she later opens or whether she attains full mastery. (Chapters 3331–3332)

Her physical durability and agility are repeatedly tested in the arena and Great Ruins. She withstands heavy clashes with Fang Chan, continues fighting after Shi Zhanfeng pierces her abdomen several times, and remains composed even with a blade at her neck. These feats do not make her invulnerable: superior armor and raw strength can overwhelm her, and she requires Han's intervention when Shi Zhanfeng gains a decisive advantage. (Chapters 3369, 3427–3428)

Bone weapons and star artifacts

Gu's principal weapons are a white bone spear and a bone whip that can be worn as a belt. The spear can release dense projections, open at its tip to catch an opposing blade, emit focused arrows of white light, and carry enough starpower to threaten other elite physical cultivators. She also uses a golden spear during the martial gathering, eight white daggers in her attempt on Shi Chuankong, and a badge capable of recalling a summoned devilish ape. These are equipment-derived options rather than evidence of separate innate powers. (Chapters 3340–3343, 3369, 3391)

Tactical judgment and leadership

Gu's strongest nonphysical talent is assessing people and preserving leverage. She recognizes Han's hidden experience before most arena leaders, predicts that he can exploit Toxic Dragon's weakness, and changes from recruitment to equal exchange when he refuses her alliance. She coordinates with allies against Du Qingyang, restrains infighting when shared enemies remain, and limits the later Profound End purge to formal arena battles. Her judgment is not infallible—personal debts repeatedly push her into fights she cannot win—but even those choices are deliberate rather than impulsive. (Chapters 3325–3332, 3339–3343, 3442)

Relationships

Han Li: Gu first views Han as a promising recruit, then accepts him as an independent peer after he refuses the Myriad Bone Alliance. They exchange cultivation arts, coordinate against Du Qingyang, and repeatedly support one another in city conflicts. Their relationship fractures when her orders target Shi Chuankong, but Han later saves her from Shi Zhanfeng and permits her to continue pursuing the eldest prince. Respect survives without full trust. (Chapters 3325–3332, 3339–3343, 3391–3392, 3427–3428)
Mistress Liu Hua: Liu Hua is Gu's father and a covert protector within Profound City's hierarchy. He treats her safety as a priority, calls her “Xun'er,” and joins her in defecting to Puppet City after E Kuai dies. Their final recorded actions remain coordinated: Liu Hua becomes temporary ruler of Profound City while Gu assists the new order and executes his instructions against former enemies. (Chapters 3376, 3433, 3438, 3442)
Chen Yang: Chen and Gu cooperate to overthrow Du Qingyang, but she regards him as a useful double-edged sword rather than an unquestioned leader. They share the immediate need to survive Du's remaining network, and Gu continues representing Green Goat City after Chen takes power, while retaining enough independence to negotiate with Han and pursue her own objectives. (Chapters 3339–3348, 3372–3385)
Du Qingyang: Du murdered Gu's mother for her true-spirit bloodline. Gu spends millennia infiltrating his arena system, then reveals her purpose only when Chen's betrayal creates a viable opening. Her role in his death resolves her central private vendetta but also removes the ruler whose organization had concealed her larger political ties. (Chapters 3339–3341)
Shi Pokong: Shi Pokong saved Gu from Du Qingyang and helped make her revenge possible. Gu interprets that rescue as a binding debt and acts as his hidden pawn inside the spatial domain, accepting orders to kill two rival princes even when the task turns Han against her. Her killing of Shi Zhanfeng completes the mission, but the story does not show a later meeting between Gu and Shi Pokong. (Chapters 3427–3433)
Shi Chuankong: Gu targets Shi Chuankong solely because of Shi Pokong's order, not a personal grievance. She hesitates emotionally but still tries to kill him until Han intervenes. After Han makes clear that a second attempt will be fatal, no further attack by Gu is shown. (Chapters 3391–3392, 3428)

Items

White bone spear: Gu's most consistent star artifact. Its opening tip can catch blades, project white light, and generate spear formations; she also uses it to kill Shi Zhanfeng. (Chapters 3340–3343, 3391, 3433)
Bone whip: A flexible weapon that can be disguised as a belt and used to bind or redirect an opponent's weapon. Shi Zhanfeng's superior star artifact eventually snaps it during their Great Ruins duel. (Chapters 3341–3343, 3427)
Golden spear: Used during the Five City Martial Gathering. Its star acupoints empower direct thrusts and ranged projections, but Fang Chan's transformed defense can deflect it and overpower Gu in a frontal clash. (Chapters 3369–3370)
