Overview[]
Green Bamboo is the first of Ji Ning's disciples to succeed in the Daomerge. He becomes a Hegemon and by a chance encounter, meets Autarch Ekong who tests him. Green Bamboo is able to pass the test, displaying his perfect Dao Heart, indicative of his potential to achieve Autarchy, and is granted an Otherverse by Autarch Ekong, ascending to an Otherverse Lord.

Description[]
History[]
As a Mortal[]
This young man’s true name was Yang Quding, and he came from an excellent family background. His mother had died when he was young, resulting in his father doting on him. Ever since he was young, he had been covered in brocade cloth and jade treasures. He was the son of a rich merchant, after all. He was born with great cleverness, and his father had once wanted to come up with a way for him to become an Immortal cultivator. Alas, Yang Quding didn’t have a so-called ‘spiritual root’. Ning, however, knew that the so-called ‘spiritual root’ was actually linked to one’s affinity for the natural energy of Heaven and Earth.
If one is only able to absorb 1% of how much others could absorb, it would naturally be far more difficult for one to engage in cultivation. Even worse, this continent possessed very sparse elemental energy to begin with, making cultivation difficult for all. For someone in a place like this to absorb elemental energy at such a ridiculously low rate the chances of becoming a successful cultivator were incredibly poor.
For the sake of allowing his son to become an Immortal cultivator, Yang Quding’s father had paid an enormous price. In the end, he had perished while escorting a shipment of valuables. This had been a tremendous blow to Yang Quding. After failing to become an Immortal cultivator, Yang Quding focused all of his efforts on continuing his father’s legacy as a merchant. He was quite clever and capable, and in just a few short years he had become a huge tycoon. In fact, he even employed two Foundation cultivators as well as several weaker Qi Condensation cultivators. He eventually married a woman as well.
But then one day, a young, evil man entered the city which Yang Quding was in. He took a fancy to Yang Quding’s wife, and desired to kidnap her and make her his concubine. However, Yang Quding wasn’t an easy person to deal with; he had Foundation cultivators by his side, and he was able to bring a stop to this!
The problem was that this evil man had an extraordinary background. When Yang Quding looked into this man’s background, he immediately befriended a Core Formation elder of a major sect, giving him many precious treasures and eventually becoming that Core Formation elder’s adopted son. But of course, this was only in name! What really mattered was that with this protector of a ‘father’, his opponent wouldn’t dare to be too rash.
Alas, that evil man played some tricks in secret, forcing Yang Quding’s wife’s family to bow their heads before him. In the end, even Yang Quding’s wife had chosen to follow the evil man and leave him. His parents had died long ago. Yang Quding had no family of his own, and so his love for his wife was deep and intense. And yet his wife had actually betrayed him and left to follow another man.
He had suffered a severe mental blow, but he had no desire to take revenge. Instead, he had just sat there dully every day. Eventually, he dispersed his family’s savings and entered this mountainous forest, giving himself the name ‘Green Bamboo’.
If Ning chose not to interfere with his life Yang Quding would stay by himself within this mountain forest for more than sixty years. After sixty-plus years, he would encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Nirvana Sect. The two would chat together, resulting in the Nascent Soul cultivator feeling tremendous admiration towards Yang Quding. The Nascent Soul cultivator would pay an enormous price to help him to become an Immortal cultivator. Alas, due to his great age and his poor spiritual root, he was still only able to become a Foundation cultivator.
However, he had reached an extremely high level of enlightenment. As a Foundation cultivator, he was capable of slaying Core Formation Daoists. He was also a good man with a virtuous reputation, and he was incredibly skilled in the ‘Illusions of Nirvana’, a skill which allowed him to trap foes in myriad illusions which would cause them to feel regret, then repent and change their ways. He even ended up slaying that vile man who had taken his wife from him. Although he was merely a Foundation cultivator, he was respectfully addressed as ‘Daoist Green Bamboo’ by others. In the end, due to his allotted time being used up, he passed away peacefully.
Plot[]
Book 28[]
He first appeared in the 'Mortal Realm' Continent of the Archaeus Region of the Alternate Universe. He met Ji. Ning when he returning from fishing and Green Bamboo was drilling woods to make furniture for himself. However this gave Ji Ning the inspiration to finally complete the Blood Drop Stance of the Brightmoon Sword Art to the Supreme Dao level. Thus Ji Ning decided to view his past and accepted him as a disciple on a whim and passed onto him his two supreme Sword stances Yin-Yang Sword Stance and Blood Drop Stance as well some techniques and he left.
During the Dusk War against the Sithe, Hegemon Green Bamboo fought on the distant Hiddencloud battlefront as its leader, choosing to fight with the woman he loves, Hegemon Dawnclear, instead of his fellow disciples. The Hiddencloud battlefront is eventually overrun by Sithe forces and a distress call is issued to the Autarchs, requesting assistance. However, as the battlefront was over 10 days away from any of the Autarchs, no aid could be rendered to them and they made plans to escape instead. Cultivators of the Hiddencloud battlefront, including Green Bamboo, scattered to survive. Green Bamboo fled with his lover, Dawnclear, and handed her his life saving treasure to use for escape. He then turned to face Sithe forces to buy time for her and eventually chooses to self detonate to prevent his True Soul from being consumed by the Sithe.
Ji Ning was enraged by the death of Green Bamboo and steeled himself to annihilate the Sithe.
After the war, Green Bamboo was revived by Lord of Chaos Ji Ning where he reunited with his lover, Hegemon Dawnclear.
