Background / History

Gu Fang is Gu Yuan's son and Gu Xun'er's younger brother. He originated from another world and transmigrated into the Battle Through the Heavens world; he retained knowledge of its people and events from his former life 1.

Born with the Ancient Clan's strongest recorded bloodline, Gu Fang could not initially endure its power. Gu Yuan sealed his bloodline at birth, preventing it from assisting his cultivation and restricting him from leaving the Ancient Realm 1. Consequently, his displayed Three-star Dou Master cultivation invited open ridicule during the Ancient Clan's inheritance assessments 1.

The seal began breaking during the assessments and fully opened shortly thereafter, releasing vast stored Battle Qi and exposing bloodline pressure beyond ordinary ninth rank 1 3 4. His performance in Battle Skills, medicinal-ingredient selection, pill refinement, and bloodline testing established him as the Ancient Clan's foremost young talent 6 13 19.

After receiving an Emperor-tier cultivation method from the Ancient Emperor, Gu Fang relinquished his place in the inheritance of the Ancient Sage Treasure Codex, judging his own method superior 20. He later left the Ancient Realm for the Jia Ma Empire to investigate Soul Clan activity and reunite with Xun'er, protected in secret by Ancient Clan experts 22.

Appearance

Gu Fang is a handsome, dark-eyed youth whose appearance belies his combat strength. His most conspicuous feature is his pair of brilliant fire wings, transformed by his bloodline from the Purple Cloud Wings 69.

• Blood-red Blazing Origin Fire Wings formed from a transformed Flying Battle Skill 68.
• Later manifests crimson Battle Qi wings through the Blood Fiend Origin Halberd; these can merge with his fire wings 137 138.
• Often carries the blood-red Blood Fiend Origin Halberd in battle 111 138.

Personality

Gu Fang remains composed under contempt and pressure. During the inheritance assessments, he ignored mockery over his low displayed cultivation and answered challenges through results rather than anger 1 3 4. He also values procedural fairness, objecting when separate pill-test times were improperly combined despite already holding an advantage 9.

He is highly pragmatic and strategic. He prioritizes consolidating his foundation over reckless advancement, recognizes when borrowed power is insufficient, and plans his movements around concrete objectives such as the Death Soul Flower and the Gate of Life and Death 92 114.

Gu Fang is protective toward people he accepts, especially Qing Lin, Xiao Yi Xian, and his family. Conversely, he is ruthless toward threats: he killed Liu Xi after rejecting the latter's intimidation and later annihilated Yan Fenghua and the intervening Mulan Valley experts 41 134.
