Background

Qi Yuan was originally an ordinary member of the public on Blue Star before crossing into a cultivation world half a year before the story begins. By chance, he joined the Shinguang Sect and became Seven Colors Peak’s sole disciple under Ruan Yixi. His master barred him from ascending the peak, and he later lost access to her resources after offending her without believing he had done anything wrong. 1 7

He belongs to the Obsession Lineage, whose cultivators are known for unusual personalities and unconventional thought processes. Qi Yuan’s fixation is gaming: he treats Survive the Deathland as cultivation, and its experience, skills, dungeon rewards, and injuries directly affect his real body. 4 5 15

Appearance

Qi Yuan is consistently described as a tall, straight-backed, exceptionally handsome young man. He commonly wears white robes and a jade pendant as Seven Colors Peak’s chief disciple, while his Blood Robe Sword God identity is marked by bright crimson clothing and a more unearthly presence. 1 105 247

• Tall, slender build and strikingly handsome features. 1 247
• Usually appears in white robes with a jade pendant while at the Shinguang Sect. 1
• Wears a blood-red robe when acting as the Blood Robe Sword God. 105 247
• A wedding-dress imprint appears on his chest when Little Bride is not manifested. 91
• Often carries a rope attached to his “pet” Cleaver. 247

Personality

Qi Yuan is casual, eccentric, and extremely self-assured. He sincerely considers himself socially anxious, highly emotionally intelligent, law-abiding, and only “a little weak,” even when confronting forces vastly weaker than himself. His comments often confuse, irritate, or alarm those around him. 295 328 420 488

His obsession with games shapes how he interprets reality: enemies become monsters or NPCs, cultivation becomes leveling, and self-improvement is often accompanied by his own dramatic narration. He treats a kitchen knife as a pet, makes rules requiring dungeon entrants to carry ladders, and may bury himself underground or sleep in mass graves to solve a problem. 6 40 57 319

Despite his bluntness and violent methods, Qi Yuan repeatedly intervenes against those he considers cruel or corrupt. He destroys the Black Mountain Sect, dismantles human experimentation facilities, rescues Carnival, aids Jin Li’s people through unconventional cultivation exercises, and seeks strength to protect those he calls his White Moonlights. 23 36 306 319

Martial Arts and Bloodline Techniques

Story Role / Major Arcs

Seven Colors Peak and the Forbidden Areas

Qi Yuan begins as Seven Colors Peak’s lone disciple, representing the peak during recruitment and choosing Jiang Lingsu as his junior sister. While other sect members fear his Obsession Lineage, he focuses on games, cultivation techniques, and finding a method suited to himself. 1 3 4

He clears the Xuanyuan Forbidden Area, acquires Heavenly Dao fragments and the Divine Brush, and later battles through the Attire Forbidden Area with Little Bride.
