Background

Li Chang'an awakened the mutated Azure Scale Sword, a high-grade sword Martial Soul with an Azure Serpent hilt, alongside Innate Full Soul Power. He also discovered that his soul was divided between his human body and a Soul Beast Clone, initially identified as an Azure Serpent Emperor/Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. The clone’s cultivation could feed power back to his main body, becoming the foundation of his abnormal rate of growth. 2 7

After displaying the potential of his first soul skill, he was recruited by Emperor Xue Ye. The emperor promoted him to Imperial Marquis and arranged his engagement to Princess Xue Ke, making him the Heaven Dou Empire’s Imperial Son-in-Law. Li Chang'an accepted pragmatically, valuing the imperial protection and resources that came with the position. 5

At Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he received exceptional treatment from Meng Shenji, Bai Baoshan, and Zhi Lin. His rapid cultivation was hidden from the public to prevent powerful factions—particularly Qian Renxue and Martial Soul Hall—from viewing him as a threat. 9 13 72

Li Chang'an later awakened the Nine Infants bloodline, gaining a transformed physique, special abilities, and ultimately nine lives. His human body nevertheless remained bound by Soul Master advancement rules and still required soul rings to break through. 43 66

Appearance

Li Chang'an’s appearance matures abnormally quickly after absorbing soul rings. Before age seven, he can pass for a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old youth. 11 12

• Possesses a notably handsome appearance that immediately attracts attention. 25
• Has a robust, proportioned physique strengthened by Immortal Herbs and the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. 32
• His Snow Woman Soul possession changes his black hair to snow-white and his eyes to ice-blue while retaining his male features. 155
• Can assume a nine-headed giant serpent form through his Exotic Beast bloodline. 61

Personality

Li Chang'an is calculating, pragmatic, and strongly motivated by self-preservation. Early in his life, he deliberately sought imperial backing rather than concealing his talent, judging that the Heaven Dou Empire’s resources and protection outweighed the risk of exposure. 4 5

He is highly cautious around threats he cannot yet defeat. He conceals his real cultivation, limits the public display of his abilities, and avoids provoking Qian Renxue before he has sufficient power to protect himself. 21 22 72

His caution gradually gives way to confidence after becoming overwhelmingly powerful. By the time he returns from the Far North, he no longer fears Qian Renxue or hides his talents; he considers himself unmatched in the mortal era so long as gods do not descend. 169 186

Despite his utilitarian side, he is protective toward those close to him. He resolves to change Dugu Yan’s fate, supports Xue Ke’s ascension, and treats Snow Empress as an equal within his household. 43 171 258

Abilities & Skills

Azure Scale Sword

Li Chang'an’s original Martial Soul is a sword with both Sword and Serpent Forms. It is his principal combat Martial Soul and later receives extremely high-age soul rings. 3 5 204

• Serpent Form — Transforms into a flying Jade Scale Serpent capable of launching scales as blades and attacking with enhanced venomous fangs. 5

• Sword God — Ninth Soul Skill; used to destroy Bibi Dong’s divine body as the Rakshasa God. 287

• Shares Blessing and Calamity Power with Li Chang'an’s human body. 50

• Cannot freely observe beings tied to existences far beyond his level, such as Tang San’s connection to the Asura God. 137

Snow Woman Soul

• Can possess Li Chang'an, changing his hair and eye colors. 155
