Background / History

Liu Yun was orphaned young and raised by Jiang Yunfeng and his family. She grew up alongside Jiang Chen, whom she called “Brother Jiang Chen,” and was engaged to him by Jiang Yunfeng. Jiang Chen and the Jiang Family shared substantial cultivation resources with her, helping establish her early reputation as a genius in Qingyue Town. 1

An outer elder of Chaohai Sect discovered her talent and recruited her into the sect. Three years later, Liu Yun returned to Qingyue Town, severed ties with the Jiang Family, and personally crippled Jiang Chen's dantian. Her actions were tied to Ye Yuntian's demands; she pleaded for Jiang Chen's life, but accepted Ye Yuntian's terms in exchange for power and survival. 1 501 502 512

Ye Yuntian cultivated Liu Yun for his own benefit rather than treating her as a partner. Her special physique held power that could enhance the talent and cultivation of her first partner, and Ye intended to claim it once she reached the Martial Emperor Realm. Liu Yun eventually recognized that he regarded her only as a resource and began seeking a way to escape his control. 499 509 512

After leaving the Great Zhou Dynasty, Liu Yun encountered a dying Martial God Realm ancestor of Green Rainbow Manor. The ancestor transferred his cultivation and techniques to her; because of her unusual physique, she could contain the sealed power without her body collapsing. Green Rainbow Manor subsequently recognized her as the ancestor's successor and brought her to the Central Region. 849
