Situ Hong

Situ Hong is the oldest member of Xue Ying's Scarlet Cloud Mountain cohort, a talented space cultivator whose frustration and jealousy grow into betrayal. After advancing to the Saint realm under the cover of wartime resolve, he joins the Demonic Faction and repeatedly visits the imprisoned Pu Yang Bo to torment him. (Chapters 131–164 and 237–238)

Biography

Talent, stagnation, and betrayal

Situ Hong begins as a handsome, socially confident senior whose overbearing attacks seem to destroy space. Si Kong Yang considers him the most talented of four space-path students but condemns his nearly hundred-year failure to reach the third Realm of Myriad Existences. Xue Ying's rapid rise and closer relationships intensify Situ Hong's resentment. When the demon war begins, he publicly breaks through to Saint realm and presents the act as heroic necessity, while the narration identifies his real desire to reclaim attention from Xue Ying. (Chapters 131–164)

By Chapters 237–238, Situ Hong has defected to the Demonic Faction. He enters its prison through space arrays, mocks and tortures Pu Yang Bo, and boasts that more Xia Transcendents will follow. Even his new allies judge his temperament poor and restrict his knowledge, relying on orders and controlled transport to limit the damage he could cause. The fragment ends before the Xia Clan exposes him publicly or establishes his final fate. (Chapters 237–238)

Appearance and personality

Situ Hong is tall, strongly built, and relatively handsome. He is initially outwardly friendly but becomes boastful, jealous, resentful of comparison, and openly cruel once protected by the Demonic Faction. His need for recognition undermines both his Xia relationships and his usefulness to his new allies. (Chapters 131, 135, 158, 164, and 237–238)

Abilities and cultivation

He has high talent in the Profound Mystery of Space and fights aggressively enough that each attack appears to destroy space. He is strong in close combat among Sky realm Transcendents and can advance to Saint realm after completing his Qi transformation. His long bottleneck shows that talent does not ensure conceptual progress, and the supplied evidence gives no named finished True Meaning. (Chapters 134–135, 158, and 164)

He uses faction space arrays to visit the prison, but those arrays are infrastructure rather than his personal teleportation. His latest confirmed realm is Saint, with no later direct battle or fate preserved. (Chapters 164 and 237–238)

Items

No assigned item is established. The metal prison gates, shackles, and space arrays belong to the Demonic Faction rather than Situ Hong. (Chapters 237–238)
