Background

Li Zheng is the successor of the Li Family, a hegemonic Immortal Realm force. Xiao Qingqing’s grandfather once saved his life, knew his true identity, and asked him to honor an engagement with Xiao Qingqing. In return, Li Zheng entered the Xiao Family with his cultivation sealed and endured several years as an apparently useless live-in son-in-law. The ordinary life was part of the Li Family’s trial for its heirs and helped him restrain his former impatience. 231 241

While the Xiao Family scorned him, Xiao Momo alone treated him as a friend. Her loyalty during Yue Yang’s attack becomes the turning point that ends Li Zheng’s concealed life. 234

Appearance

During his sealed trial, Li Zheng wore washed, plain clothing and appeared to have no spiritual power, reinforcing the Xiao Family’s belief that he was a powerless nobody. 230 232 235

• Carries himself with the bearing of a Li Family heir once his seal is released. 237 239
• Commonly wields a saber, including a Spirit Artifact nurtured with his own heart’s blood. 253
• His released aura creates large-scale destruction and terrifies opponents who had considered him weak. 235 237

Personality

Li Zheng is patient and restrained when honoring a debt. He tolerates humiliation from Xiao Qingqing and the Xiao Family because her grandfather saved his life, even though he believes the Xiao Family is insignificant beside the Li Family. 231

Once his trial ends, he becomes proud, direct, and intolerant of disrespect. He openly rebukes Xiao Qingqing, exposes Yue Yang’s hypocrisy, and treats the Yue Family Patriarch with the confidence of a superior power. 233 237 239

His protectiveness toward Xiao Momo is genuine but possessive. He values her for being his sole friend in the Xiao Family, seeks her opinion when deciding Yue Yang’s fate, and insists on taking her away to keep her from further mistreatment. 234 240 His decision to kill Xiao Momo’s father—based on information later contested by Xiao Qingqing—shows that his judgment can be severe and tragically misguided. 257 260

Abilities & Skills

Sealed Cultivation and Immortal Realm Power

Li Zheng’s apparent lack of cultivation was the result of a Li Family trial rather than genuine weakness.

• His seal breaks after Xiao Momo risks her life to defend him. 234
• He withstands Yue Yang’s direct attack without moving, then overwhelms him with released pressure. 236 237
• His aura alone creates thousand-zhang devastation and forces Yue Yang into fear and submission. 236 237

Life Ability

Li Zheng possesses a green, life-aspected ability that manifests as a protective dragon.

• Forms a dragon-shaped barrier around him for defense. 252
• Its life force can repair injuries, reducing his vulnerability in a prolonged battle. 252
• He reveals it specifically because Di Tian’s spatial attacks are difficult to guard against conventionally. 252

Saber Arts

Li Zheng is an advanced saber cultivator capable of using his saber to damage and break sealed space.

• Saber One — produces a ten-thousand-zhang saber gleam that breaks part of Di Tian’s void seal and delays the descending golden dragons. 253
• Blade Three — detects Di Tian’s hidden position in the void and strikes toward it. 254
• Unity of Man and Saber: Saber Shatters the Heavens — Li Zheng merges himself into his saber and draws spiritual power from the void in the form of true dragons. 255
• His saber techniques raise his combat power to the Samsara Realm, despite his cultivation being lower. 254

Spirit Artifact Saber

Li Zheng’s primary weapon is a Spirit Artifact saber nurtured with his heart’s blood.

• He withheld it even during prior trials, considering earlier opponents unworthy of facing it. 253
• Its appearance makes the surrounding void tremble and allows him to unleash Dao intent. 253
• Di Tian eventually shatters Li Zheng’s saber-transformation with a restrained strike. 256

Equipment / Items

• Spirit Artifact saber — A saber nurtured with Li Zheng’s heart’s blood and used for his numbered saber techniques. 253
• Imprint Stone — Holds evidence of Yue Yang’s affair with his father’s concubine. 238
• Marriage token — Proof connected to Xiao Qingqing’s grandfather and the arranged engagement. 232
• Bronze Fragment — A fragment he offers to Di Tian as collateral before their duel. 250
• World Tree Seed — A treasured seed he surrenders to Di Tian alongside the bronze fragment. 250

Relationships

• Xiao Momo — Childhood friend and the only Xiao Family member who did not despise him during his trial. She defends him at the risk of her life, prompting him to vow to protect her; their bond later fractures over her father’s death and suspicions surrounding her Extreme Yin Divine Body. 234 240 257 260
• Xiao Qingqing — Former arranged fiancée. Their relationship collapses after she favors Yue Yang and rejects Li Zheng while unaware of his identity; Di Tian later argues that Li Zheng’s concealed identity also harmed her. 231 233 241
• Grandfather Hua — Li Zheng’s guardian, who watches over him during his trial and reveals his identity as the Li Family’s Young Master. 239 241
• Yue Yang — Rival who pursues Xiao Qingqing and attempts to kill Li Zheng and Xiao Momo. Li Zheng exposes his schemes and demands his death; Yue Yang commits suicide to spare the Yue Family. 238 240
• Li Kuang — Li Zheng’s father. Di Jiang kills him during the conflict between the Di and Li Families, triggering Li Zheng’s surge to late Immortal Realm power. 244
• Di Tian — Principal adversary. Di Tian suppresses Li Zheng, defeats him repeatedly through spatial abilities and their wagered duel, and exploits the uncertainty surrounding Xiao Momo’s father to damage Li Zheng’s relationship with her. 242 245 255 257
• Di Jiang — Di Tian’s grandfather and Li Kuang’s killer. His attack on the Li Family places the family’s survival on Li Zheng’s duel with Di Tian. 244 250 251
