Background / History

Shen Liyun was an 18-year-old transmigrator and successor of the Palace of Reincarnation. She possessed both the Devouring Divine Body—one of the thirty strongest constitutions in the myriad realms—and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Body, whose natural aura caused others to favor her. She had awakened memories before arriving at the Imperial Clan Su Family's marriage selection and deliberately adopted a clumsy, innocent persona to distinguish herself from the other contestants. 84

She had a hostile history with her senior sister Nan Xilian. Shen Liyun claimed that Nan Xilian had conspired with the Su Family over the Mysterious Fortune Realm, while her own thoughts reveal that she had previously driven Nan Xilian from the Palace of Reincarnation. 85 91

During the Mysterious Fortune Realm arc, the Python Sparrow Devouring Dragon Formation stripped her Heaven and Earth Spiritual Body. Rather than dying or losing all cultivation, she awakened as Yan Huayu, the Great Emperor Creation whose memories had been carried within her. 158

Appearance

Shen Liyun is a refined young woman with long eyelashes, bright teeth, glass-clear eyes, and a gentle aura that readily inspires affection. At the marriage selection, she wore a goose-yellow immortal dress and presented herself with a flower-like smile. 84

• Usually described as pure, elegant, and delicate in appearance. 84 86
• Her Heavenly Spirit Body's aura initially made even Saint Realm figures favor her. 84
• After awakening as Yan Huayu, she appears in a black immortal dress with jade-like skin, an icy bearing, and a golden Creation Great Dao radiance around her. 167

Personality

Shen Liyun is ruthless, vengeful, and highly calculating beneath an intentionally harmless exterior. She engineered a “clumsy” late arrival at the marriage selection, expecting her apparent innocence to attract Su Chenxiao's interest and sympathy from the crowd. 84

She repeatedly weaponizes vulnerability: she staged injuries to draw Su Chenxiao into a hero-saves-the-beauty scenario, feigned weakness while seeking his protection, and publicly acted remorseful after humiliating Dongfang Wan. Her inner thoughts, however, show contempt for those she considers beneath her and satisfaction in manipulating others. 86 91 99

Her defeat by Yuwen Mo Yu shattered this façade, exposing open rage and murderous intent. After Zhou Haoran lost his Flying Immortal Physique Origin, Shen Liyun began to prioritize self-reliance over depending on allies or admirers. 87 117 146

Following her awakening as Yan Huayu, her demeanor becomes cold, detached, and openly contemptuous of the cultivators of the myriad realms. 158 167

Abilities & Skills

Devouring Divine Body

A top-thirty constitution that grants Shen Liyun exceptional absorption capabilities. 84

• Neutralizes and absorbs opponents' divine abilities during combat. 85
• Absorbs surrounding spiritual power and divine abilities after she releases her suppressed cultivation. 87
• Requires immense cultivation resources; Shen Liyun considered ordinary prodigies' resources insufficient even for a single realm advancement. 86
• Her body and constitution were damaged after her staged conflict near the Primordial Battlefield, causing spiritual energy to slowly leak away. 99

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Body

A secondary constitution that naturally attracts goodwill from living beings. 84

• Helped Shen Liyun make favorable first impressions on elders, prodigies, and Saint Realm cultivators. 84
• Was forcibly stripped by Lin Hao through the Python Sparrow Devouring Dragon Method. 158

Reincarnation of Great Emperor Creation

Shen Liyun carries the memories of Yan Huayu, the Great Emperor Creation and creator of the Mysterious Fortune Realm. 143 167

• Understood the unfamiliar inscriptions on the Heavenly Gate stone tablet and witnessed a vision of Yan Huayu. 144
• Awakened early after surviving the Python Sparrow Devouring Dragon Formation. 158
• Retained Shen Liyun's memories while identifying herself as Yan Huayu. 161
• Attempted to reclaim control of the Mysterious Fortune Realm's puppet forces, but the puppets recognized Nan Xilian's Creation Divine Body instead. 167 168

Swordsmanship

Shen Liyun fights with spiritual swords and techniques associated with the Palace of Reincarnation.

• Wields the Reincarnation Spirit Sword. 84 87
• Uses Drunken Moon Slash, a silver crescent-shaped sword technique. 87
• Used an azure spiritual sword to wound Que Yu while pursuing the Six Gates Divine Ring. 157

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Reincarnation Spirit Sword — her primary weapon during the marriage-selection tournament. 84 87
• Palace of Reincarnation Token — identifies her connection to the Palace of Reincarnation and was used to detect fellow disciples' auras. 84 86
• Six Gates Divine Ring — a treasure given by her master; stolen by Que Yu, reclaimed after Shen Liyun's awakening, then seized by Ni Jiu. 156 158 167
• Fire Pattern Talisman Stone — a Yan Family talisman that could defend against fire and water or withstand a Supreme Realm attack when detonated; Shen Liyun later discarded it to avoid being tracked. 146 150
• Spirit of Divine Origin — offered to Su Chenxiao in exchange for protection; it could open a Divine Origin Dao Palace in advance. 93
• Golden alms bowl — an Imperial Weapon used to suppress Ni Jiu during her attempted escape. 168
• Longevity Treasure Medicine — consumed to recover after Ni Jiu severely injured her. 168

Relationships

• Nan Xilian — Senior sister and principal rival. Shen Liyun sought to seize the Mysterious Fortune Realm inheritance that Nan Xilian was meant to receive; Nan Xilian's Creation Divine Body ultimately superseded Shen Liyun's claimed authority over the realm's puppets. 85 144 167
• Su Chenxiao — Initially the target of Shen Liyun's marriage-selection scheme and later a wary protector she tried to manipulate. He repeatedly undermined her plans, acquired her Spirit of Divine Origin, followed her to the true inheritance, and exposed her identity as Yan Huayu. 84 93 166 167
• Zhou Haoran — Senior brother who deeply trusted and protected Shen Liyun. She manipulated him into supporting her schemes, but later took him back to the Palace of Reincarnation after Su Chenxiao stripped his Flying Immortal Physique Origin. 91 113 117
• Dongfang Wan — Tournament opponent whom Shen Liyun deliberately weakened, humiliated, and then pretended to apologize to. 85 86
• Yuwen Mo Yu — Strongest opponent in the marriage selection; decisively defeated and humiliated Shen Liyun despite Shen Liyun releasing her true cultivation. 87
• Yan Chengmo — Imperial Clan Yan Family prodigy who cooperated with Shen Liyun over the Mysterious Fortune Realm and gave her a Fire Pattern Talisman Stone. 143 146
• Que Yu — Red-haired demoness who marked Shen Liyun for tracking, stole the Six Gates Divine Ring, and lured her into the Python Sparrow Devouring Dragon Formation. 144 156 157
• Lin Hao — Used the Python Sparrow Devouring Dragon Method against Shen Liyun, successfully stripping her Heaven and Earth Spiritual Body but inadvertently triggering Yan Huayu's awakening. 157 158
• Ni Jiu — Su Chenxiao's ally who seized the Six Gates Divine Ring and severely injured Shen Liyun with the Suanni Treasure Technique. 167 168

Story Role / Major Arcs

Imperial Clan Marriage Selection

Shen Liyun arrived late to Su Chenxiao's marriage selection and attempted to secure entry through a calculated innocent persona. Though Su Chenxiao initially refused to bend the rules, she entered the competition after suppressing her cultivation to the Undying Realm. 84 85

She used her Devouring Divine Body to drain Dongfang Wan and deliberately prolong the match to humiliate her. Shen Liyun then pretended the injury was accidental, turning herself into a target for the other female contestants. 85 86

After four wins, she faced Yuwen Mo Yu. Shen Liyun released her true King Sealing Realm cultivation and attacked with the Reincarnation Spirit Sword, but Yuwen Mo Yu defeated her and left her kneeling in the arena. 87

Primordial Battlefield and Divine Wood City

Shen Liyun manipulated Zhou Haoran into staging a conflict so she could appear injured before Su Chenxiao. When he ignored her initial act, she pursued him while maintaining her untreated injuries. 91 92

She exchanged the Spirit of Divine Origin for Su Chenxiao's protection, but the injury to her foundation caused her cultivation to drop to the Ascension Realm. Her subsequent attempt to obtain further benefits from Su Chenxiao ended with him merely permitting her to invoke his name in Divine Wood City. 93 99

At Divine Wood City, she relied on Zhou Haoran for protection and attempted to conceal the contradictions in her story. When Su Chenxiao stripped Zhou Haoran's Flying Immortal Physique Origin, Shen Liyun chose to take her senior brother away rather than openly oppose Su Chenxiao. 110 112 117

Mysterious Fortune Realm

Having concluded that she could rely only on herself, Shen Liyun revealed information about the Mysterious Fortune Realm to Hua Yu and the Imperial Clans. She intended for widespread conflict to create an opportunity to seize Nan Xilian's inheritance. 139 143

At the Heavenly Gate, Shen Liyun understood Yan Huayu's inscriptions and became convinced that she, rather than Nan Xilian, was the chosen inheritor. She secretly withheld the location of the realm's most important palace from the Imperial Clans. 144 146

Que Yu stole the Six Gates Divine Ring and led Shen Liyun into Lin Hao's Python Sparrow Devouring Dragon Formation. Lin Hao stripped the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Body from her, but the process awakened Yan Huayu's memories instead of destroying her. Shen Liyun reclaimed the ring and entered the Sea of Suffering. 156 158

Crystal Palace Confrontation

As Yan Huayu, Shen Liyun reached the Crystal Palace expecting to restore control over the Mysterious Fortune Realm. Su Chenxiao had already plundered its usable treasures, leaving her with depleted resources and ruined artifacts. 165 166

She abandoned her Shen Liyun persona and attempted to kill Su Chenxiao with the Six Gates Divine Ring. Ni Jiu seized the weapon, while Nan Xilian's Creation Divine Body caused the puppet army—including the Half-Saint puppet—to recognize Nan Xilian as its true master. 167

Severely injured by Ni Jiu, Shen Liyun used life-saving treasures, Soul Burn: Ultimate, and a golden alms bowl in an unsuccessful effort to escape the palace. 168
