Background / History

Transmigration and the Great Sun Bone

Jiang Yuan transmigrated into the body of Wenzhao's nephew, a direct disciple of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency. The original Jiang Yuan had been considered mediocre despite his status, only reaching Mid Qi and Blood at sixteen 1 23.

He awakened the Past Life Simulator and repeatedly entered the same first simulated life. After dying one hundred consecutive times, he earned a permanent talent integration and chose the Great Sun Blazing Fire Bone over several other high-grade talents 2. The Exotic Bone became the foundation of his rapid advancement and gave him a means to detect Abnormalities 4 7.

Rise at Zhenyuan Escort Agency

Jiang Yuan's cultivation surged after his return to the agency. He rapidly reached Late Qi and Blood, mastered multiple martial arts, and defeated Li Quan and Feng Xiaoyao during an exchange with the Fengxing Family 4 14. He subsequently developed the Phoenix Cry Sword Technique to Sublime Mastery and the Tiger Roar Saber Technique to Perfect Completion through the Martial Emperor's Sword Talisman and a Martial Arts Enlightenment Card 16.

His victories over Black Tiger Stockade, the Sun residence's seven-headed phenomenon, and a Chu Family Hua Jin expert established his reputation across Haiyuan City. Though he publicly appeared to be a remarkable Qi and Blood genius, he intentionally treated this image as protective cover for the greater power hidden behind it 22 38.

Simulated Lives

The simulator allowed Jiang Yuan to experience complete alternate lives, retain knowledge and selected rewards, and repeatedly improve through death, failure, and success. His major simulated identities include the poor martial artist Li Xiaotian, the masked Blood Force Grandmaster Wu Xuan, the Ziwei Star Caller and King of Yan An Wu, the array master Lin Yu, and the Azure Royal Clan descendant Wei Xiu 48 119 136 193 238.

As Li Xiaotian, Jiang Yuan formed the Thousand Cloud Alliance, dismantled the White Lotus Sect's influence in Thousand Cloud City, and eventually broke through to Divine Connection Grandmaster 82 83 87. As An Wu, he used foreknowledge from a previous attempt at the same era to build Yanshan Tower, create the Yan Kingdom, and compete for the Ziwei Star fate 145 148 167.

Appearance

Jiang Yuan is a tall, slender, and notably handsome young man. In Zhenyuan Escort Agency uniform, he is described as heroic and extraordinary; after acquiring the Savage Physique, his stature became more imposing and gave others a sense of security 7 23.

• Tall and jade-like, with a composed bearing 23.
• Calm, sea-like eyes; his gaze can become cold and severe when confronting enemies 23 35.
• Usually carries a weapon case, later fitted for both sword and spear 7 38.
• Uses disguises extensively, including black robes, rouge, masks, and the Wu Xuan identity 7 119.
• As Wu Xuan, wears a white faceless mask and long black robe 119.

Personality

Jiang Yuan is intensely focused on cultivation and treats strength as the essential protection against the dangers surrounding him. Early on, he avoids unnecessary companionship and considers romantic entanglements distractions from martial progress, though he can remain outwardly polite when it serves his interests 6 23.

He is observant, calculating, and highly adaptable. He gathers information before acting, uses disguises to manage risk, and repeatedly uses simulated deaths as lessons rather than allowing them to break his resolve 7 17 164. His willingness to exploit opportunities extends to morally dangerous methods, including soul imprints, memory alteration, and the Puppet Replacement Talisman 166 188 213.

Despite his detachment, Jiang Yuan is fiercely protective of those he considers his own. He repeatedly prioritizes Li Ke's safety, supports Zhenyuan Escort Agency members when they are threatened, and retaliates mercilessly against those who harm his family or allies 38 82 258.
