Background
An Bulang is the only child of the Immortal Emperor, the ruler of all immortals on the Primordial Continent. His name was chosen from his father's deduction: “Stay steady, don't go wild, and you can win.” Despite this upbringing, he feels that his privileged life gives him neither accomplishment nor purpose. After Han Yueling ends their engagement, he abandons his buffs and treasures, uses his mother's jade hairpin to escape, and descends to the distant Azure Kingdom to forge his own path 1.
His father permits him to leave because An Bulang is destined to face a tribulation. Although his identity as an Immortal Emperor's son is concealed from most of the mortal world, his abnormal talent, knowledge, and cultivation repeatedly lead others to suspect that he is a Celestial Second Generation 1 532 653.
Appearance
An Bulang is usually a refined young man in white robes, with dark, bright eyes likened to flawless gems. He normally uses a mortal body's appearance to remain inconspicuous, concealing his true immortal appearance 3 272.
- Heavenly God's Visage — His true appearance when the Chaos Immortal Physique is revealed: flawless features, a divine mark on his forehead, star-like eyes, and an aura compared to a supreme immortal 272.
- Glazed Sun Pupil — His eyes become pure gold when activated, radiating warmth, intimidation, and immense Yang power 122 210.
- Dragon transformations — Dragon scales, Dragon Might, and increasingly pronounced draconic traits manifest during combat 482 677.
- Nine Heavens Rainbow Robe form — The robe transforms him into a graceful, radiant “fairy maiden” appearance surrounded by nine-colored divine light 412.
Personality
An Bulang is driven by a need to establish himself independently of his father. He rejects powerful factions' attempts to recruit him, prioritizing his own cultivation route, education, and freedom over status or obligation 326 531.
He is confident, competitive, and highly aware of his appearance, but his arrogance is matched by courage and ingenuity. He often confronts stronger opponents without retreating, exploits unusual opportunities, and treats danger as a chance to grow 210 294 713.
Though he prefers avoiding unwanted responsibility, An Bulang protects companions and honors commitments. He intervenes for Ji Yinyin, promises imprisoned cultivators that he will return for them, risks himself to save Hongli, and infiltrates the Honghe Demon Clan to obtain the Yin Yang Cloud for Ji Yinyin's eyes 25 202 291 469.
