Background / History

Wang Yulun first becomes devoted to Xu Fan after Xu Fan saves him from three Level Six Qi Refining Fire Wolves with the combined Burning Wind Wood Arrow. Awed by Xu Fan's combat ability, he repeatedly asks to learn from him and becomes his loyal follower. 1

He learns movement and offensive arts from Xu Fan, but initially relies too heavily on direct, decisive attacks. Xu Fan repeatedly criticizes his positioning, prediction, casting speed, and inability to fight without attempting a one-shot kill. 4 7 8

Wang Yulun seeks to ascend to the Immortal World and asks Xu Fan to accept him as a disciple. Xu Fan refuses due to his age, erases his memory of Xu Fan's Spirit Creator talent, but agrees to teach him special skills. 5

He later forms a Dao Companion bond with Murong Qian'er. The couple gives Xu Fan a massive piece of Soul Iron in gratitude, refusing to keep even half its value despite their own upcoming Foundation Establishment needs. 18 38

After becoming a Golden Core cultivator, Wang Yulun serves as an Outer Sect Battle Hall Elder rather than joining the Floating Sky Vessel Guard, citing his unusual constitution. 95

A mysterious Mystic Realm accelerates Wang Yulun's time by a thousand years, leaving him white-haired, near death, and regressed to Qi Refining. Xu Fan saves his life with the Wood Origin, the Heavenly Extreme Spirit Pill, life-oriented Divine Abilities, and the aid of two Five Spirit Bright Monkeys. 299 300

The Mystic Realm and related dreams reveal deeper ties to his past lives. His soul contains strange power connected to a woman from a previous life, the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty's eldest princess, and eventually to a powerful True Self with ambitions reaching the peak of Chaos. 303 306 886 1178

When his True Self attempts to subsume him, Xu Fan intervenes, seals Wang Yulun with Chaos Runes, and later absorbs his Dao phantom into a Rune Ball. Wang Yulun accepts ten thousand years of nourishment and sleep as the price for becoming a future top expert. 1178 1189 1191

After completing his first life and absorbing memories from his True Self, Wang Yulun learns the extent of his past self's arrogance, power, relationships, and ambitions. He ultimately chooses to remain himself, rely on Xu Fan, and live freely rather than pursue his True Self's path. 1201 1314 1332

Personality

Wang Yulun is loyal, grateful, and openly reverent toward Xu Fan. He attributes much of his growth to Xu Fan and repeatedly brings him rare materials, treasures, or information acquired during missions. 18 38 67 74

He is kind-hearted and family-oriented. He worries about his sons, protects his daughter from entering the Immortal Realm before she is strong enough, and becomes Xing's godfather after fishing her up. 160 653 965

Despite being drawn into exceptional circumstances, he often prefers a peaceful life. After recovering from his time-related injury, he becomes so content with idleness that Xu Fan calls him “Salted Fish King Yulun” and forcibly stimulates his fighting spirit. 346 347

His fate repeatedly brings romantic entanglements and past-life confidantes into his life, which he finds more burdensome than enviable. He remains committed to Murong Qian'er and frequently insists that his current life should not be controlled by his past. 66 90 899 988
