Background / History

Yang Jian is a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect and the Lord of Divine Law of the Heavenly Court. His status rests not only on his own strength, but on the protection and influence of the Chan Sect; he credits Yu Dingzhenren with saving his life, teaching him his abilities, and giving him the foundation to attain his present position. 127

His Heavenly Eye originated as the Heavenly Eye pendant, a treasure of the goddess Yao Ji that merged into his forehead. Before its later evolution, the Eye and the Eight Nine Arcane Art already allowed him to dominate among Grand Luo Golden Immortals and contend with Quasi-Sages. 12

Joining the Multiverse Chat Group radically changes his understanding of the Myriad Realms. Learning that Sages of his Greater World are not the ultimate peak leaves him feeling like a “frog in a well,” but also drives him to seek higher Laws and opportunities. 9

Appearance

Yang Jian appears in battle clad in silver armor and a cloak, carrying the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade. His silver Heavenly Eye sits at the center of his brow and emits divine light infused with Yin-Yang Law. 70 72

• Silver armor and cloak. 70
• Silver Heavenly Eye between his brows. 12
• Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade as his principal weapon. 46

Personality

Yang Jian is highly conscious of strength, rank, and proper respect. He addresses Bai Yu as “Immortal Exalted” and initially reacts with profound shock when confronted with the true scale of Grand Cosmos power. 8 9

He is cautious when confronting forces above his level, recognizing that even his Heavenly Eye’s Sage-level strike was initially insufficient grounds to openly oppose a Sage. 20 Yet he is also decisive once his family or sect is involved: he resolves to split Mount Hua for Yang Chan despite the risk of provoking the Heavenly Court. 69 70

His care for Yang Chan can become controlling. He delays her rescue to teach her a lesson, then ultimately chooses to respect her freedom to make her own romantic choices. 75

Abilities & Skills

Heavenly Eye

Yang Jian’s Heavenly Eye fused with Innate Yin-Yang Energy containing Origin Law, transforming it into a far more dangerous divine ability. 12

• Releases Yin-Yang Divine Light capable of disrupting worldly Laws. 13
• Contains a complete Yin-Yang Source Law and makes him invincible below the Sage level. 13
• Its initial Sage-level output could only be used for one strike. 20
• Splits Mount Hua without the Mountain-Splitting Axe. 72
• His first attempt to force the fusion nearly annihilated his body; Bai Yu restrained the energy and completed the fusion. 12

Eight Nine Arcane Art

The Chan Sect’s protective divine skill is the foundation of Yang Jian’s physical cultivation. 30

• Reaches perfection through the Yin-Yang Energy fusion. 12
• Grants physical sainthood and defenses Chonglou cannot breach. 47
• Allows his physical strength to contend with a late-stage Quasi-Sage despite his lower Primordial Spirit cultivation. 47

Heavenly Manifestation

Yang Jian can expand into a colossal divine form through Heavenly Manifestation. 47

• Grows to ten thousand zhang tall. 47
• Combines immense size with speed sufficient to crack space. 47
• Overwhelms Chonglou, forcing the Demon Venerable to concede defeat. 47

Law Proving Dao

Yang Jian abandons the Three Corpses route in favor of proving Dao through Laws. 69

• Has comprehended two Source Laws, including 30% of a newly studied Law. 69
• Requires complete comprehension of a Law to prove Dao as a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal. 69
• Achieves sixteenth-stage Law Proving Dao, but remains unable to enter the seventeenth-order Profound Realm; Sacred Spirit Stones cannot bridge that final barrier. 329 330

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Three-Pointed Double-Edged Blade — Yang Jian’s main weapon; clashes evenly with Chonglou’s Yanbo Blood Blade. 46 47
• Heavenly Eye pendant — The original treasure that became his Heavenly Eye after merging into his forehead. 12
• Three Treasures Jade Scepter — Given to him by Yuanshi Tianzun as a symbol that he may act on the Sage’s behalf and manage the Chan Sect. 136
• All-Heavens Tokens — He distributes tokens to Yu Dingzhenren and Yuanshi Tianzun, bringing them into Multiverse City. 136

Relationships

• Bai Yu / Immortal Exalted — Benefactor and overwhelmingly stronger senior. Bai Yu’s Innate Yin-Yang Energy evolves Yang Jian’s Heavenly Eye; Yang Jian later admires Bai Yu’s diligence and rapid progress. 12 133
• Yang Chan — Younger sister. Yang Jian risks conflict with the Heavenly Court to free her from Mount Hua; they later reconcile. 69 74 75
• Yu Dingzhenren — Master. Yang Jian deeply respects him for his past protection and teaching, then reveals the Chat Group and Multiverse City to him. 127 133
• Yuanshi Tianzun — Grandmaster and Sage patron. Yuanshi entrusts Yang Jian with control of the Chan Sect and grants him the Three Treasures Jade Scepter. 135 136
• Chonglou — Friendly rival and fellow Grand Luo Golden Immortal. Their duel ends with Chonglou conceding defeat; Yang Jian gives him the Eight Nine Arcane Art in exchange for Sacred Spirit Stones. 46 47
• Six Sages of Meishan / Meishan Brothers — Loyal retainers who serve alongside him and help command the twelve hundred Caotou Gods. 12 70
• Sun Wukong — Fellow disciple under Yu Dingzhenren. 127 156
• Hongjun — A wary indirect adversary. Hongjun becomes cautious of Yang Jian because of his connection to the Chat Group and Multiverse City. 138

Story Role / Major Arcs

• Chat Group awakening — Learns of Grand Cosmoses, Source Great Daos, and the disparity between his world and higher realms, reshaping his ambitions. 8 9
• Heavenly Eye evolution — Attempts to fuse Bai Yu’s Innate Yin-Yang Energy into his Eye, nearly dies, and emerges with perfected body cultivation and a Sage-level divine ability. 12 13
• Duel with Chonglou — Fights Chonglou in the Demon World, wins through Heavenly Manifestation, and turns their rivalry into a resource exchange and banquet. 46 47
• Rescue of Yang Chan — Leads the Meishan Brothers and twelve hundred Caotou Gods to Mount Hua, evacuates mortals, seals the mountain, and frees his sister. 69 70 72
• Chan Sect expansion — Reveals Multiverse City to his master and grandmaster, guides them into the city, and becomes the Chan Sect’s acting leader. 134 135 138 156
• Law Proving Dao — Uses Chan Sect resources to reach the sixteenth stage, becoming the first Chat Group member other than Bai Yu to achieve Law Proving Dao. 328 329

Notable Quotes

“At worst, I’ll fight them again!” 75

Trivia

• Shi Yueyao considers him only sixty to seventy percent similar to the version of Yang Jian portrayed by Jiao Enjun. 70
• His master’s final examination for disciples is to cause havoc in the Heavenly Palace; both Yang Jian and Sun Wukong have done so. 133
• The Chat Group mocks Yang Jian for manipulating Yang Chan’s rescue to teach her a lesson, which he sees as a threat to his “lifelong reputation.” 75
