Background / History

Xiao Heng began as a young member of the Xiao Family and developed alongside Xiao Yan. By the time he entered the Inner Academy period, he had become one of the academy’s foremost students, later serving as Pan Men’s vice-sect leader and repeatedly protecting its members from outside threats. 108 129 193

His rise was marked by an early focus on swordsmanship, alchemy, and methodical cultivation. He created the three-part Earth-grade Immortal Slaying Sword Art, delayed accepting a Fifth-grade Alchemist inheritance until his soul strength was sufficient, and pursued increasingly dangerous opponents to sharpen his strength. 23

Following a Bloodline Awakening, Xiao Heng gained a power that enhances his body, Dou Qi, talent, and combat ability, though activating it causes severe weakness afterward. 160 He later became a major combatant for Starfall Pavilion and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance, fighting Soul Hall experts, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan, and the Three Dragon Islands. 814 990 1044 1055

After entering the Bai Clan through a registered wisp of soul power, he continued pursuing the Five Elements and higher realms of cultivation. His eventual Five Elements transformation gave him a physique comparable to a Saint Body and a high-tier Heaven-grade cultivation technique. 665 981

Personality
