Background / History

Xiao Xian was Xiao Yan's clan uncle in the Xiao Family. Though he appeared youthful, his age and history were treated as unusual even in his earliest appearance. He offered Xiao Yan reassurance after the latter's cultivation setback, becoming a relaxed but dependable elder presence in Xiao Yan's life. 1 3

After attaining Dou Di, Xiao Xian spent years traversing the Dou Qi Continent, stripping ancient sects and clans of resources to fill his Small World. He later withdrew into seclusion to let the continent recover. 3

In the Dou Qi Continent, he acquired the Jing Ye Spear through daily check-in, subdued the Bodhi Ancient Tree with Three Lights Divine Water, and eventually integrated Ninth Order Dou Di cultivation. 17 39 116

Xiao Xian later used a Martial Arts World Travel Ticket to enter a composite martial-arts world. There, he aided Xiangyang during its conflict with Later Jin, defeated thousands of soldiers, and was regarded by witnesses as a Heavenly Human Realm expert. 56 67

In the Yang God World, he accepted Hong Yi as a disciple and declared his ambition to eliminate the existing cultivation powers and establish a unified state governed by law. He subsequently defeated numerous major experts, amassed divine artifacts, unified the Divine Continent under Great Chu, and later abdicated the throne to Hong Yi. 121 165 207 208 246

He also entered a modern world, where he became a teacher at Imperial Capital University, and later joined Qingyun Sect. At Qingyun, he chose Tian Buyi as his master and became a Great Bamboo Peak disciple. 235 252

Personality

Xiao Xian is carefree, idle, and strongly drawn to food, travel, and entertainment. He is frequently described as lazy or salt-fish-like when not pursuing a new opportunity, yet readily abandons leisure when a challenge, resource, or interesting new world appears. 3 56 106

He is shameless, vain, and looks-oriented, particularly favoring mature women. His lack of remorse after admitting to spying on Yun Yun bathing provoked her into attacking him, while his willingness to compensate Little Dragon Girl was influenced by her beauty. 14 64 235

Despite his ruthless and manipulative side, Xiao Xian can be supportive toward people he accepts. He encouraged Xiao Yan, guided Hong Yi’s early cultivation, protected him through a Power Bead, and took responsibility for the two surviving children of Cao Miao Village. 1 122 125 265
