Background / History

Xiao Kun transmigrated into the Dou Qi Continent and became Xiao Yan’s fraternal twin. At fourteen, he possessed strong Soul Power and cultivation talent comparable to Xiao Yan’s, though the twins did not closely resemble one another. 1

After his system activated, Xiao Kun began secretly developing as an alchemist and used critical-hit compensation from gifting items to accumulate resources. He initially told Xiao Zhan that a passing mysterious expert had accepted him as an alchemy disciple. 5

He made the Xiao Family’s revival an early priority, providing Xiao Zhan with seven hundred medicinal pills intended to raise the clan’s overall strength. He later destroyed the Ao Ba and Jia Lie families, unifying Wu Tan City under the Xiao Family’s influence. 13 14
