Han Bei
Han Bei is a clever Black Sieve Sect disciple descended from an ancient Han bloodline. She recruits a secret expedition for the Classic of Time, repeatedly manipulates allies and rivals, and later treats Meng Hao as both a valuable friend and an intellectual puzzle.
Biography
Secret recruitment
Han Bei attends a Secret Trade Alliance meeting in disguise and uses its anonymous transactions to recruit cultivators connected to ancient bloodlines. She later visits Meng Hao openly, delivers his Sieve Earth Pill, and becomes suspicious when he asks if they have met. During the Black Sieve expedition she warns him that the sect is watching him and questions whether Meng is his true surname. (Chapters 140–146)
Classic of Time expedition
Inside the Blessed Land, Han Bei gathers Meng Hao, Xie Jie, Xu Youdao, Fellow Daoist Sima, and the Li Woman. She conceals that her alleged exit actually leads to the giant bronze cauldron, but admits her Han Clan discovered the Blessed Land and preserved the first volume of the Classic of Time. Meng Hao's Spiritual Sense opens the cauldron while her ancient jade and bloodline arts guide the party toward its ancestral statues. (Chapters 155–161)
Han Bei then feigns losing control of the Classic's jade pieces, allowing lightning to eliminate unwanted companions. When the plan is disrupted, she bargains with Meng Hao and gives him a teleportation compass. She animates the Han ancestor statue, betrays and kills her childhood companion Xie Jie with Meng Hao's assistance, sacrifices ancestral ashes, and recovers a sleeping violet figure from the collapsing statue. Of the released Time pages, Meng Hao obtains one, while Meat Jelly swallows the page Han Bei pursues. She accepts the outcome in exchange for a future copy and teleports away. (Chapters 162–164)
Southern Domain gathering
Han Bei joins the Black Sieve delegation at the later Southern Domain gathering and publicly sides with Meng Hao. At the banquet and Immortal's Path trial she repeatedly probes his reactions, studies his choices, and revises her theories as he reaches the unprecedented tenth path. (Chapters 187–199)
Fang Mu and the hidden third soul
When Meng Hao returns to the Black Sieve Sect as Furnace Lord Fang Mu, Han Bei is immediately nervous because the Han Clan Patriarch residing within her senses that he is dangerous. She guides Fang Mu through the sect and tries to conceal both her identity and her connection to the East Pill Division. Later, while Fang Mu concocts Soul Refining Pills, the Han ancestor warns her not to consume his pill. Meng Hao directly addresses the third soul, and the manifested Patriarch promises that the Han Clan owes him a favor. (Chapters 245–258)
Violet Furnace trial and Rebirth Cave
Han Bei attends Fang Mu's Violet Furnace Lord trial with the Black Sieve delegation. She watches his apparent difficulties, then his overwhelming success and elevation, with close interest and envy. At the Rebirth Cave basin she enters the maze with the other Chosen. When Meng Hao's identity becomes public and he is hunted by the assembled experts, she watches from the Black Sieve position. As Xu Qing tries to reach the collapsing Meng Hao, Han Bei physically restrains her and remains present through the mastiff's intervention and escape. (Chapters 278–313)
Demon Immortal Sect expedition
Han Bei watches Meng Hao leave the Southern Domain and later joins the South Heaven cultivators inside the Demon Immortal Sect planes. Her planning skill does not make her immune to ancient power: the Greater Demon's illusion catches her with the other Chosen until Meng Hao's attack briefly restores clarity. (Chapters 314, 565–566, 610 and 617)
Nine Seas and the Windswept Realm
A supernatural image of Han Bei appears on the floor of the Ninth Sea, creating a present manifestation that Meng Hao encounters rather than a simple recollection. The scene renews the unresolved mystery surrounding her fate and connection to ancient forces. (Chapter 1082)
Vast Expanse and Transcendence
Han Bei joins the Vast Expanse School under its Sect Leader and advances from Holy Daughter-designate to one of its nine Holy Daughters. When she watches Fang Mu's tribulation, Meng Hao exposes her and recognizes Allheaven's aura in her escape. Her Feng Shui compass shields her, while the preserved soul of Chu Yuyan—secretly bound symbiotically to her own—serves as leverage against him. (Chapters 1448–1453)
She recognizes Fang Mu as Meng Hao's clone and continues serving Allheaven's design. Manifesting its will, she pulls Meng Hao through a black hole into a prepared false reality intended to convince him that his Vast Expanse life was an illusion. (Chapters 1464–1505)
When the construction fails, Han Bei flees through teleportation routes prepared across Planet Vast Expanse. Meng Hao eventually separates Chu Yuyan's soul from hers. Mortally damaged by channeling Allheaven, Han Bei identifies herself as a Daughter of Allheaven and Meng Hao as its Son before her soul explodes into ash. (Chapters 1517–1519)
Appearance and personality
Han Bei is a beautiful woman with lustrous skin, an alluring smile, and an intelligent manner. She is patient, observant, and exceptionally calculating. Her courtesy often hides layered plans, yet she is practical enough to abandon a deception once Meng Hao exposes it. Her hatred of captivity within the Black Sieve Sect drives her betrayal of Xie Jie and her effort to reclaim the Han legacy.
Abilities and cultivation
Foundation Establishment cultivation
Her cultivation is extraordinary enough for her to stand among the Black Sieve Chosen.
Han bloodline arts
She controls the Han ancestor statue, ancestral jade, and the mechanisms protecting the Classic of Time. (Chapters 157–163)
Multiple souls
Her body contains her own soul, a Black Sieve discarnate soul, and the Han Clan Patriarch. She deceives the Black Sieve Sect into believing its possession succeeded while retaining an alliance with her ancestor. (Chapters 245–258)
Planning and deception
She organizes anonymous recruitment, constructs a false exit, and arranges the deaths of competing bloodline heirs. (Chapters 140–162)
Protective treasures
She uses a three-colored lotus throne against the cauldron's lightning. (Chapter 159)
Her Han bloodline activates ancestral jade and statues through lineage compatibility, opening paths outsiders cannot access alone. The same mechanisms require Meng Hao's Spiritual Sense and a recruited party, so bloodline authority does not grant solitary control of the entire Blessed Land. Her three-soul arrangement is likewise defensive strategy: by letting the Black Sieve soul appear successful while cooperating with the Han Patriarch, she preserves agency inside a sect built on possession. (Chapters 155–163 and 245–258)
As a Daughter of Allheaven, Han Bei can carry its aura, channel its will, prepare teleportation routes, and help construct a false reality around Meng Hao. Channeling that greater will mortally damages her, and the illusion fails once projected loved ones act against the prison's purpose. Her Feng Shui compass shields escape and Chu Yuyan's symbiotic soul deters Meng Hao, but neither prevents him from eventually separating the souls and pursuing her. (Chapters 1448–1519)
Power progression
| Stage / Realm / Ability | Chapter(s) | Notes |

| Ancient Realm | By 1453 | After reappearing in the Vast Expanse School, she is explicitly reported to have broken through from the Immortal Realm into the Ancient Realm. |
| Daughter of Allheaven vessel — borrowed | 1505–1519 | She channels Allheaven's will, teleportation, and false-reality authority; the use ages and incapacitates her for a century rather than becoming permanent personal mastery. |
