Background / History

Little Crane first followed Fang Chen during the Glazed Sword Sect’s Trial Path. Every other participant’s paper crane dissipated roughly an hour after leaving the Sky Lake Barrier, but Little Crane remained. Fang Chen had left an imprint on her with his identity token during their first encounter, which she later identifies as the reason she recognizes him as her master. 496 1135 1543

Initially appearing as a small, silent paper crane, she could hide in the void, store objects, and access the Spirit Crane Space. Fang Chen discovered early that her strength far exceeded her harmless appearance when she broke free from his grip and transferred the Spirit Crane Space incantation to him. 79 129

Little Crane eventually reveals that she is not a human-made talisman. She grew from special wood and gradually awakens inherited memories as she accumulates power. Her exact origins remain unknown for much of the story; even the Realm Master cannot identify her. Her Void Crane bloodline is later recognized by a nine-tailed White Fox, and ancient figures identify the Void Crane Clan as a race feared by the World Will during the Heaven-Extermination War. 496 1578 2455 2776

Appearance

Little Crane normally appears as a small, colorful paper crane covered in mystical runes. Her form changes drastically as her strength grows, ranging from a palm-sized companion to a colossal crane with a wingspan exceeding ten thousand zhang. 496 1893 2266

• Her early body resembles an ordinary folded paper crane, with no feet or feathers. 496
• Her body is marked by increasingly intricate, multicolored runes. 78 1888
• She develops black, sparkling eyes after gaining greater awareness. 496
• Following later transformations, her body becomes smooth and jade-like rather than parchment-like. 1894
• Her awakened form is associated with a nine-colored halo and powerful spatial fluctuations. 2607 2733
• After consuming Void Divine Stones, her eyes become silver and reflect complex spatial runes. 2447

Personality

Little Crane is affectionate but shy, often communicating through nods, chirps, or gestures even after gaining speech. She happily circles Fang Chen when summoned, treats his embrace as a place of safety, and usually sleeps there while absorbing Space Dao Patterns. 496 1085 2450

She is fiercely loyal to Fang Chen and dislikes being unable to help him. After witnessing his battles against stronger enemies, she returns alone to her hometown to seek greater strength rather than remain “a useless paper crane.” 1867

Despite her gentle demeanor, Little Crane is independent, courageous, and capable of calculated risk. She accepts dangerous reconnaissance missions alone, infiltrates enemy strongholds, and can become angry or impulsive when Fang Chen or Ye Qingci is endangered. 633 1394 2790
