Mountain Lord He — Lord Xue Ying

Mountain Lord He is the Black White Deity Mountain's leader and, early in Xue Ying's Transcendent career, the uncontested strongest human Demigod. His array knowledge and True Deity Heart make him a central strategist during the demon war, though he never succeeds in opening a Deity Sea. Chapters 239–392 are fragmentary and limit battle detail; Mountain Lord He and He Yuan are consistently the same figure, last shown alive in Chapter 392. (Chapters 92, 235–245, 288, 365, and 392)

Biography

Transcendence and the Xia Clan

Mountain Lord He's standing makes him a trusted authority on Transcendent threats and strategy. He evaluates Xue Ying's potential, helps plan responses to demons hidden in minor Transcendent Worlds, and recognizes when the clan's arrays or teams cannot achieve a hoped-for rescue. His questions focus on operational limits rather than prestige, such as whether killing linked demons would alert an entire network. (Chapters 92, 128, and 194–203)

During the demonic crisis he coordinates teams and avatars, fights enemy groups, and rushes to Xue Ying when the younger cultivator is incapacitated. He remains involved through the final Xia Clan confrontations and witnesses Xue Ying erase a World Deity avatar with a shout, a result that resets his understanding of the younger man's level. (Chapters 245–288 and 365–392)

Appearance and personality

The corpus does not preserve a reliable personal description. He is shown sitting cross-legged on a mountain peak with two black-and-white crescent objects and dense seals around him, emphasizing cultivation rather than physique. Mountain Lord He is cautious, analytical, and compassionate: he investigates Pu Yang Bo's apparent death, worries about Xue Ying, and accepts when plans have exceeded the clan's capacity. (Chapters 235, 245, and 261)

Abilities and cultivation

Mountain Lord He has condensed a True Deity Heart, possesses deep array comprehension, and is initially ranked the world's strongest Demigod. His domain sensitivity lets him vaguely detect Xue Ying hidden in the Mirage when Si Kong Yang cannot, while his arrays and avatar support serve scouting and group combat. The text does not name his True Deity Heart or give a full personal attack sequence. (Chapters 92, 235–236, 245, and 288)

Despite that foundation, he cannot open a Deity Sea and remains a Demigod. His Transcendent Life and Death Battle once ended at the third match, illustrating that early results did not determine his later rank. Chao Qing's Deity energy later operates Battleship D9 better than Mountain Lord He can, marking the limit between his profound Demigod skill and true divine power. His latest evidenced state remains below Deity. (Chapters 106, 245, 365, and 392)

Si Kong Yang: Fellow human holder of a True Deity Heart and central Xia Clan leader. Their differing perception gives Xue Ying useful evidence about domain specialization. (Chapters 235–236)

Palace Head Chen: Strategic partner in the Xia Clan's wartime command and response to Xue Ying's crises. (Chapters 247–288 and 392)

Items

Black-and-white crescent artifacts: Two bent, moon-like objects float beside Mountain Lord He while countless seals form complex images. Their proper name and separate effects are not preserved in the cited passage. (Chapter 245)
Battleship D9: Mountain Lord He can participate in its use and deploy an avatar from it, but lacks the Deity energy that later lets Chao Qing operate it more fully. (Chapters 288 and 365)
