Background

Yu Chen was a thirteenth-generation Feather Clan disciple who had lived for more than four centuries by the time Shen Yi met him on Bone Island. He was once close to Venerable Yu, whom he regarded as a brother. Although Venerable Yu was the more gifted of the two, he included Yu Chen in missions and eventually invited him to search for a legendary ancient palace 95 96.

The expedition ended in betrayal. Yu Chen had reached the Six-Winged rank while Venerable Yu had become the Feather Clan's youngest Eight-Winged Warrior, but Yu Chen lost his cultivation and body through Venerable Yu's actions. His hatred of betrayal remained intense even centuries later 96 97.

After Shen Yi defeated the bone dragon near the ancient palace, Yu Chen underwent a baptism in divine fire. His skull fused with a divine body, restoring his ability to fight and granting him six bone wings. Recognizing Shen Yi's strength and potential, he voluntarily became Shen Yi's subordinate 98.

Yu Chen later regained a true human body at a Spirit Spring on Immortal Island. The restoration awakened his Divine Bone and eight wings, elevating him to the Nascent Soul realm. He regarded this rebirth as a gift from Shen Yi and became still more devoted to him 133.

Appearance

Yu Chen initially exists as a skeletal being after losing his original body. Following his restoration, he resumes a human appearance while retaining the Feather Clan's winged characteristics.

• As a skeletal divine body, his skull contains green ghost fire and is joined to a white-boned body with six bone wings 97 98.
• He can alter the size of his divine body and conceal it beneath hooded clothing 98.
• After bathing in the Spirit Spring, he gains fair skin, black hair, blue eyes, a luminous Divine Bone, and eight white wings that emit sacred radiance 133.

Personality

Yu Chen is deeply affected by Venerable Yu's betrayal. The subject provokes immediate anger, and he initially struggles to separate his present identity from the life and body that were taken from him 97 124.

Despite initially yielding information readily when threatened by Shen Yi, he becomes fiercely loyal once Shen Yi restores his power and treats him with trust. He repeatedly volunteers for dangerous battles, follows Shen Yi's orders, and views Shen Yi's confidence in him as a source of purpose 95 101 124.

He is also more perceptive than Sikong Guxing in social matters. When Shen Yi begins preparing to establish a sect, Yu Chen quickly recognizes the purpose of Shen Yi's interactions with local powers and accepts responsibility for helping manage future affairs 138.

Story Role / Major Arcs

West Sea and Ancient Palace

Yu Chen provides Shen Yi with crucial information about the ancient palace and the Feather Venerable. In exchange for Shen Yi's help pursuing revenge, he agrees to guide Shen Yi toward the palace and fights through its surrounding dangers 96.

After receiving his divine body, he joins Shen Yi and Sikong Guxing as a loyal retainer. The three travel through the West Sea, battle the Soul Tribe, and confront the Feather Venerable's schemes 98 101 121.

Rebirth and Revenge

When the Feather Venerable reveals that Yu Chen's original body has been preserved and controlled as one of several vessels, Yu Chen is forced to fight his own former body 121 122. He ultimately confronts the emotional weight of his past and destroys the body associated with his former self, choosing to live as the reborn white-boned Yu Chen rather than remain bound to who he was 124.

His body is fully regenerated at Immortal Island's Spirit Spring, allowing him to attain eight wings and Nascent Soul cultivation 133.

Supreme Hall

Yu Chen assists Shen Yi's efforts to build the Supreme Hall, first by learning to navigate secular society and later by taking charge of defense alongside Sikong Guxing 138 160.

He remains an active Supreme Hall operative in later conflicts, serving as an investigator and battlefield commander. During the campaign against Yang Guan's forces, he directly engages the enemy Nascent Soul general Yang Xiu 272 296.
