Current
It was an old man. His hair and beard was completely white, disheveled like weeds. His whole face was completely wrinkled, too old to figure out his age. His clothes were old and dirty and apart from having no holes, there was basically no difference to a beggar's clothes. Revealing the surface of his hands, they were as thin and dry as dead tree branches. This old man from head to toe, even every root hair, showed a gray and withered breath.

Original
A gaze that seemed to have a burning flame within it. A desolate heaven-defying graceful-bearing middle-aged man with an embroidered jade gown with a flame design. The flame design seemed to be alive, as if it wanted to jump out of the gown. He was domineering and imposing with unrestrained elegance.

Background
He is the 28th Sovereign of the Yin Yang Sect.

Plotline
He was imprisoned by his enemies in the ice cave more than ten ten years before Yang Dingtian awoke in this world. After being defrosted by Yang Dingtian he attacked him because he thought he was someone sent by his enemies to do him some harm, but after interacting for over a year they ended up developing a relationship of grandfather and grandson / master and disciple.

He learned about Yang Dingtian's origin and taught him the common language of this world, and also learned Chinese, as well as taught him about cultivation. Seeing his monstrous talent he decided to accept it as his disciple, passing on his legacy as well as his hopes.

After accepting Yang Dingtian as a disciple and giving him the position of Head of the Yin Yang Sect, he gave him an accessory representing his and his wife's love, called A Moth Flies To The Flame, where she has a half and he must take half of it to her with his last will. He also betroth his daughter Dongfang Bingling to Yang Dingtian and as a parting gift he showed him his true appearance for the last time and used the rest of his Xuan Energy to clear Yand Dingtian's veins which would allow him to achieve progress bigger with less effort. He used the detonation of his Sea of Energy to complete Yang Dingtian's third vein cleansing, departing from this world and leaving him with his legacy, his desires and his hope.
