Background
Meng Chen is a transmigrator who became the only son of Azure Dragon Divine Lord Meng Zhang. Though he could have remained in the Eastern Celestial Pole and inherited his father’s position, he sought Hunyuan instead. Recognizing Xuanmen as the dominant force of the Primordial World, he persuaded Meng Zhang to send him to Kunlun Mountain to become Yuanshi Tianzun’s disciple. After passing the Hundred Tribulations Heart Questioning Formation, he chose Yuanshi as his master and became the Chan Sect’s eldest disciple. 1
Yuanshi Tianzun immediately established Meng Chen’s standing by granting him the Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Banner and the Creation Gourd. Meng Chen then cultivated at a pace that far surpassed his fellow disciples, using the River of Fate, Alternate Selves, and his Spacetime Anchor Point to establish an unusually deep foundation. 2 5 6
After leaving the Jade Void Palace, Meng Chen established the Boundless Tree Sea in Kunlun Mountain. There he discovered and refined the Undying Tree, a fragmentary Primordial Chaos Spiritual Root that produces Primordial Chaos Spiritual Energy and can grant eternal life through its fruit. 9 12
Appearance
Meng Chen usually appears as a young Daoist in a cyan divine robe, carrying a dignified and sacred bearing. His true form is an Azure Dragon. 334
- His Azure Dragon Avatar can span heaven and earth, radiating dragon might that compels beasts to worship. 6
- Following the Innate Spirit Pill’s transformation, his dragon body reached ninety million li in length. 48
- His perfected cultivation can leave no trace of mana, aura, or intent outside his body. 105
Personality
Meng Chen is highly pragmatic, cautious, and self-directed. He does not rely solely on Yuanshi Tianzun’s protection despite valuing it; he avoids flaunting his status because even a Sage’s disciple can provoke dangerous enemies. 27 He sees political and sectarian relationships in simple terms: those willing to cooperate are friends, while those hostile to the Chan Sect are enemies. 16 68
He is also ruthless when challenged. Meng Chen treats unprovoked attacks as capital offenses, shows little mercy to enemies, and is willing to use intimidation, leverage, and overwhelming force to secure his objectives. 80 227 229 However, Yuanshi Tianzun and Meng Zhang regard his apparent coldness as self-protection rather than innate malice. 49
Meng Chen is generous toward capable subordinates, disciples, and allies. He rewards service with treasures, cultivation resources, status, and protection, while expecting loyalty and practical results in return. 35 109 325
