Background / History

Chen Xilin was found as an infant in a forest by Old Chen Chen, who named him for the sunset at the time of their meeting. In this world, he used the name Chen Xilin, while “Chen Xuanji” was associated with his former life. 3

His biological parents, Chen Tianjue and Zhu Zhihan, were killed after obtaining a ten-thousand-year spirit bone. Zhu Zhihan delivered Chen Xilin before her death; Old Chen Chen later found the family. Chen Xilin’s grandfather was subsequently beaten to death by Yu Luomian of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. 15

At six, he publicly awakened the Dark Demonic Flood Dragon Spirit with level-seven innate soul power. His actual martial soul was the Dark Holy Dragon, and he concealed both it and his extraordinary spirit-ring configuration to avoid attracting major factions. 4 5 10

After Old Chen Chen’s death, Long Fei took Chen Xilin in as a disciple. Their relationship grew beyond mentorship: Long Fei became Chen Xilin’s adoptive father figure, while Chen Xilin hoped to see him live long enough to occupy the seat of honor at his future wedding. 10 12

Chen Xilin later founded the Myriad Beasts Sect and became its sect master. His power and influence expanded from the mainland to Sea God Island, where he became a Guardian Supplicant with status equal to Bo Saixi. 152 136

Appearance

Chen Xilin is described as young and handsome. After consuming whale rubber as a child, his body strengthened and grew rapidly; at that time he stood close to 1.4 meters tall. 6

• Often wears black, form-fitting clothing. 6
• Used a metal mask while secretly hunting his first spirit ring. 6
• Manifests a pitch-black marking on his forehead when summoning the Dark Holy Dragon Spirit. 8
• His fused soul bones form black-purple Spirit Bone Armor True Body. 139

Personality

Chen Xilin is calculating and intensely private. He deliberately hid his true martial soul, ring ages, and cultivation progress because he expected powerful factions to target him if his talent became known. 5 12

He is confident to the point of arrogance, openly considering himself unmatched among spirit masters of the past and future. His confidence is supported by his repeated victories over stronger opponents, though it also leads him to provoke enemies such as Martial Soul Hall and the Upper Three Sects. 56 102 150

Despite his ruthlessness toward enemies, Chen Xilin is deeply protective of those he accepts as family. He repays kindness with rare resources, protects Ah Yin and his children fiercely, and eventually resurrects Old Chen Chen out of gratitude for raising him. 52 116 249
