Ancestor Black Wind

Ancestor Black Wind is a historical Xia Clan Demigod whose cavern palace, recorded guidance, and recovered treasures continue shaping later generations. He never reaches Deity rank, but combines a grade-three True Meaning with exceptional spell, array, and refining skill to become the strongest Demigod of his era.

Biography

Crimson Rock expedition and final legacy

Black Wind's inability to become a Deity eventually places him against the limit of a mortal Demigod lifespan. Rather than die without another attempt, he enters the exceptionally lethal Crimson Rock Mountain, where even peak Demigods stronger than him perish in large numbers. He returns with Origin Stones and seven Deity warriors, three at peak Demigod strength, proving the expedition materially successful even though it does not grant the breakthrough he sought. (Chapters 221–233 and 279)

He later uses the many arrays of his cavern palace and risks his life to eradicate a terrifying outsider whose battle leaves the complex in ruins. Black Wind dies sometime before Xue Ying's era, but leaves the palace as a trial rather than a simple sealed treasury: successors may force their way through with sufficient combat power or bypass defenses through a sufficiently mysterious True Meaning. His surviving message also warns Xue Ying about the scale and mortality of Crimson Rock Mountain, turning his own desperate expedition into informed guidance for a later cultivator. (Chapters 80–81 and 226–233)

Appearance and personality

The supplied corpus preserves no reliable physical description because Black Wind appears through records, a legacy message, and the remains of his work. His choices suggest daring shaped by desperation rather than casual recklessness: he waits until his lifespan is ending before entering Crimson Rock Mountain, then leaves explicit danger assessments and flexible trial rules for successors. (Chapters 221–233)

Abilities and cultivation

Ancestor Black Wind is a Demigod mage with a grade-three True Meaning. His strength comes from unusually sophisticated use of spells, arrays, and refiner puppets rather than the grade alone; Palace Head Chen says he could dominate an era and was much stronger than Mountain Lord He. The corpus does not name the True Meaning or preserve the origin and sequence of these proficiencies. (Chapters 221 and 227)

His Black-Wind Deity Palace concentrates those disciplines into layered defenses and trials. Demigods carrying Deity weapons fail to break through, while the stated threshold is peak-Demigod combat power or an ability mysterious enough to bypass obstacles. In his last great battle, the arrays let him kill an otherwise terrifying existence, but they depend on prepared home ground and do not overcome his inability to become a Deity. His latest cultivation therefore remains Demigod before death. (Chapters 80, 221, and 226–233)

Relationships

• Dong Bo Xue Ying: Xue Ying inherits Black Wind's palace trials, resources, Deity warriors, and warnings, learning from a predecessor he never meets alive. (Chapters 80–81 and 221–233)
• Palace Head Chen: Chen interprets Black Wind's historical record for Xue Ying and emphasizes how spellcraft made him stronger than his nominal True Meaning grade suggests. (Chapter 221)
