Zong Ru

A local xiuzhe from Little Mountain Jie and the only dhyana xiu at ningmai level among Gongsun Cha's army. He is a member of Three Talent Battle Formation with Lei Peng and Nian Lu. His Samadhi was extremely deep, which was the most important reason he could reach ningmai. Because of this, he has strong mind, resolute determination and the effect of things like illusory formations were lessened against him. He is the first one to be carved 3 formations in his body by Zuo Mo in exchange for his dhyana scripture. After his recovery from being injured during their encounter with quasi fifth-grade Bloody Horned Serpent, he naturally comprehended fist essence. With the aid of Four-Flanged Vajra Gada that was given to him by Zuo Mo, he was able to form his abhinna.

He became the leader of Vermillion Bird Camp's Shield Guard Platoon that is in-charge of protecting Gongsun Cha and transmitting Gongsun Cha's order. After receiving sixth-grade dhyana xiu spell and sixth-grade talisman from Zuo Mo, he made the legendary Buddhahood Abandonment Death Wish and attained wish power. He also achieved jindan level.

After his death seclusion, his body became thin, his cheeks sunken but his eyes are bright. The red lotus on his forehead was like holy fire. It was the profound dhyana xiu records from Xuan Kong Temple’s Sutra Pavilion and Zuo Mo’s shen power jade scrolls that had formed the foundation for Zong Ru to comprehend another kind of shen power and enabled him to come out of seclusion.

In the Summer Palace of Totem Coliseum, he consumed wish power strands within the light of the sun, which resulted to the red lotus flower on his forehead to become even brighter. He also received a shen device forged by Zuo Mo called Three Manifestations Treasure Staff.

Appearance
After achieving jindan stage, the skin on his face became extremely smooth, the weathering due to hard days in his past had disappeared. His appearance was not handsome and not exceptional in the campsite but the dhyana serene aura on his body was unique to him. On his clean forehead was a blood red lotus. Two auras, one holy and one demonic, were merged together, and filled with a soul-shaking power.
