Background / History

Xiao Chen was born the eldest son of Xiao Zhentian, the Zhenbei King. Half of his 108 Martial Apertures were open at birth, and he possessed the Explosive King Physique, making him the manor's celebrated prodigy. When Xiao Lingtian was endangered, Xiao Chen took a palm strike for his younger brother; the blow shattered his dantian and left him unable to cultivate. 1 2

As his recovery seemed impossible, Xiao Zhentian and Wen Wanrong transferred their attention to Xiao Lingtian. At fifteen, Xiao Chen was sent to Bear Martial City under the pretext of recuperation and was left there for three years without a visit from his parents. The glory once attached to his King Physique passed to Xiao Lingtian. 1

A modern man transmigrated into Xiao Chen's body and inherited these memories. When Xiao Zhentian demanded that he kneel for arriving late, Xiao Chen chose exile over submission, severing ties with Zhenbei King Manor. The Martial God Nurturing System rewarded that choice with the Martial God Physique. 1 2

After activating the physique, Xiao Chen recovered his dantian and demonstrated aptitude beyond Heaven Rank, destroying the Martial Purity Instrument. Rather than return to his family's favor, he pursued his own path as a sword cultivator. 8 13 14

Xiao Chen rose from a discarded cripple into Great Xia's foremost young cultivator in less than a year. During the Myriad Dynasty War and the subsequent Immortal-Abandoned Land campaign, he slew Bright Moon Rank experts, confronted Blazing Sun Rank opponents, accumulated supreme merit, and reportedly placed third in the Immortal Abandonment competition. His accomplishments made him a celebrated protector of Great Xia and a figure feared by rival dynasties. 1629 1711

After entering the Nether Realm, Xiao Chen concealed his identity as a lowly Crossing Pig while rebuilding his position among the local powers. His displayed Indestructible Golden Body brought him into the Zhou Family's King Guard system, but also attracted the covetous hostility of powerful body cultivators such as Liu Wanxiong. 1747 1762

Appearance

Xiao Chen is a tall, refined young man whose true face is repeatedly described as jade-like and exceptionally handsome. He commonly wears white robes and carries an old sword, though he often uses masks, formations, or altered appearances when traveling under the name Chen Xiao. 61 103 113

• Face described as flawless and jade-like. 61
• Usually appears in white robes with an ancient sword at his back. 113 681
• Can adopt disguises, including a buck-toothed youth persona. 103 110
• His True Demon state gives him white hair, blood-red eyes, and black-gold demonic armor. 410 471
• The Gonggong Divine Armor manifests as imposing black armor with a dragon shoulder-guard, tortoise shoulder-guard, gray runes, and water energy. 990
• His Black Tortoise Divine Armor manifests as a blue divine shell or a Black Tortoise image amid raging water. 1274 1289
• Even while disguised as an ordinary Crossing Pig in the Nether Realm, his physical bearing and hidden strength make others doubt his apparent low status. 1747 1762

Personality

Xiao Chen was once deeply attached to his family and Ye Qingxuan, even after being neglected and humiliated. His experiences as a cripple and outcast hardened him; after awakening the system, he became direct, proud, and unwilling to preserve relationships built on contempt. 1 2 111

He remains protective toward people who treat him sincerely. He defended Bear Martial City against the Demon Race, repeatedly aided human cultivators against the Demon God Hall, and risked himself for allies such as Liu Sanji, Houzi, and Wen Haishan. 46 65 123 211 1062

His mercy has clear limits. Xiao Chen kills those who actively obstruct or threaten him, including former Zhenbei Guards who came to assassinate him. 85 93

Although determined to reach the pinnacle of the starfields, avenge past injustices, and rescue his mother, Xiao Chen can recognize when revenge must wait for greater strength. Qiongqi has repeatedly cautioned him that his hatred of Xiao Xingye and Xiao Shenyuan must not become an obsession that destroys him. 1405

As his strength increased, Xiao Chen developed greater strategic restraint. He recognizes that his vast arsenal cannot be used without limit because his King Source Energy remains insufficient to sustain more than several high-level abilities in one battle. 1563 1564
