Zong Tu

Transcendentsecond-level Myriad Existences cultivatorXia Clan

Zong Tu is a Tranquil Sun Province Transcendent and senior companion of Xue Ying's early Xia Clan circle. His remarks frame both the public expectations placed on a new Transcendent and the long cultivation effort hidden behind apparently modest advances. (Chapters 106–163)

Biography

A veteran observer of Xue Ying's rise

Zong Tu urged Dong Bo Xue Ying to last at least six matches in his public Transcendent battles, partly because mortals rarely had any chance to see such experts and deserved a worthy display. He later watched Xue Ying's progress alongside the province's Transcendents and contrasted it with his own century-spanning bottleneck. When Dark Abyss demons threatened the Xia Clan, Zong Tu expressed fury at being too weak to hunt them himself rather than indifference to a battle above his level. He remained with Cheng Ling Shu, Peng Shan, Yu Jing Qiu, and the others as news arrived and the group gathered, with no later change in status preserved by the supplied evidence. (Chapters 106, 110, 141, and 161–163)

Appearance and personality

The corpus excerpts provide no physical description. Zong Tu is candid, communal, and self-aware: he teases Xue Ying about giving spectators a good fight, openly admits how slowly his own comprehension advanced, and responds to demonic attacks with frustrated loyalty rather than bravado about abilities he does not possess. (Chapters 106, 110, 141, and 161)

Abilities and cultivation

Zong Tu reached the second level of Myriad Existences only after one hundred sixty years and had not entered the third level by Chapter 141. No Dao, weapon, or named technique is identified, so the mechanics of his cultivation remain unknown. He later judged himself too weak to fight the Dark Abyss demons directly, establishing the practical limit of his latest demonstrated strength without showing a subsequent breakthrough. (Chapters 141 and 161)
