Background / History

Jiang Lan was originally a man from Earth who transmigrated into the xianxia novel Eunuch Sword Master. He became Jiang Lan, the villainous cannon fodder and son of Great Xia's Power Chancellor, Jiang Lintian. Knowing that the original plot ended with Lin Fan killing him and destroying the Prime Minister's Manor, Jiang Lan resolved to overturn that fate. 2 100

Early in his new life, he was publicly regarded as an uncultivated, dissolute Second Generation Scion. He concealed his abilities while exploiting his knowledge of the original plot, his powerful family, and the Blood Immortal Sect inheritance to gather Fortune, allies, and resources. 79 89 98

After gaining the Immortal Embryo Creation Dew and adapting to an Immortal Embryo body, Jiang Lan gradually revealed his cultivation. He later informed his parents of the future he had seen in the River of Time, earning their trust and support in his effort to prevent Lin Fan's destined victory. 98 100

Jiang Lan rose from Great Xia's infamous young master to its Phoenix Lord and the Taiyi Sect's Holy Son. He subsequently obtained the Jade Emperor's legacy, the Son of Heaven's Temple, and the allegiance of numerous prodigies and powerful figures, establishing himself as the future Heavenly Emperor. 200 226 249 295

Following his Saint ascension, Jiang Lan expanded his influence beyond the Nine Provinces, fought young taboos in the Heavens Battlefield, and developed his Small World into a Middle Thousand World. He later returned to the Ancient Heavenly Realm and began reconstructing the Heavenly Court. 289 303 304 325 330
