Lei Zhen

Lei Zhen was a Sea Deity Palace elder whose memoir and remaining resources guided Dong Bo Xue Ying through Black-Wind Deity Palace long after Lei Zhen's death. His recorded preparations preserve the choices of an aging peak Saint who staked his remaining wealth and lifespan on reaching the Demigod realm. (Chapters 80–85)

Biography

The final cultivation gamble

At fifteen hundred years old and near the end of his lifespan, Lei Zhen sold most of his treasures, including his frequently used Saint-grade weapon, to obtain Origin Stones and other cultivation resources. He entered closed-door cultivation knowing that he would either become a Demigod or die. Before doing so, he documented the Black-Wind Deity Palace, its surrounding array, and the concealed route to a Major World, repeatedly warning that knowledge of such a place could provoke betrayal even from friends. His breakthrough failed, but the map, memoir, remaining refiner organisms, armor, and resources he left behind later enabled Xue Ying to navigate the palace and understand dangers and opportunities that would otherwise have remained hidden. (Chapters 80–85, 95, 101–102, 129, and 230)

Appearance and personality

The surviving evidence presents Lei Zhen through his written record rather than a living scene, so it establishes no reliable physical description. His memoir shows methodical caution: he recorded routes and arrays in detail and stressed secrecy around the Major World, while his decision to liquidate valuable possessions reveals complete commitment to his last chance at advancement. (Chapters 80–81)

Abilities and cultivation

Lei Zhen reached the peak Saint rank but never achieved the Demigod breakthrough he sought. He prolonged his life to fifteen hundred years by consuming spiritual liquid from the Stone of Oceanic World, which polished his spirit body. For his final attempt he relied on Origin Stones, whose attribute-less primitive world energy could accelerate cultivation without burdening the body; nevertheless, the method did not overcome his bottleneck. No direct combat scene survives, so his precise techniques and limits beyond the failed breakthrough are unknown. (Chapters 80–81, 85, and 101)

Relationships

• Dong Bo Xue Ying: Xue Ying became the posthumous beneficiary of Lei Zhen's memoir, map, and remaining cultivation legacy. (Chapters 80–85)
• Ancestor Black Wind: Lei Zhen explored the palace and arrays associated with Ancestor Black Wind but did not control their deepest secrets. (Chapters 81 and 230)

Items

No item link is required by the scoped manifest. Lei Zhen's memoir, remaining resources, refiner organisms, and protective vest passed into Xue Ying's use, while the Saint-grade weapon he once carried had already been sold before his final seclusion. (Chapters 80, 85, and 102)
