Background / History

Yan Yushu first emerged from a river valley in the Southern Wilderness, soaked and carrying a blue cloth bundle. The Hanging Temple was already pursuing her, accusing her of harming many people through the influence of Six Desires Heaven. Chen Xuan refused to disclose her location despite suspecting that she was dangerous. 27 28

The Hanging Temple described her as a calamity whose appearance could erode the will of both men and women, turning admirers into pliable puppets. During her flight through the Southern Wilderness, Yan Yushu fought the pursuing Ascetic Monks, including Kong Wen, but suffered severe backlash from Six Desires Heaven. 28 31

Her early encounters with Chen Xuan became central to her path. His resistance to her influence and repeated entry into Six Desires Heaven enabled her to endure its corruption. By the time they returned to the realm later, its former sinister atmosphere had been purified; Yan Yushu stated that without meeting him, she would have become a demonic woman and derived a complete Six Desires True Scripture. 33 84

Yan Yushu was taken in by Lu Zhuan, the former Red Crow City Lord and Dao Master of the ancient Reaching Heaven Dojo. She planned to formally enter his sect after leaving Red Crow City, whose inherited Ying Fish True Scripture offered a high-level cultivation path. 62 81

At the Mountain Sea Feast, Yan Yushu chose to force a breakthrough rather than remain dependent on external protection. With Chen Xuan suppressing threats inside Six Desires Heaven, she rapidly crossed the Cauldron path, entered Hidden in the Mortal World, and later attained Spirit Travel. 283 284 298

Appearance

Yan Yushu is a peerlessly beautiful young woman whose appearance is inseparable from the allure of Six Desires Heaven. She is frequently described as cool and ethereal at first glance, while her manner can shift into a distinctly seductive charm. 27 42 84

• Fair, jade-like skin and a flawless, unadorned face. 27 236
• Long black hair, commonly worn loose like a waterfall. 56 236
• Often wears a black dress, likened to a black rose. 56 84
• Her beauty becomes increasingly otherworldly after entering Hidden in the Mortal World. 405
• Her cultivation of the Ying Fish True Scripture does not produce the fish scales Chen Xuan expected from a demonic scripture. 81

Personality

Yan Yushu is proud of her aptitude and believes that the Great Dao ultimately depends on oneself rather than external forces. Even while acknowledging the value of assistance, she maintains a strong will and insists on controlling her own future. 84 284

She can be flirtatious, provocative, and dismissive toward unwanted admirers, but is notably more self-conscious around Chen Xuan. His refusal to flatter or fear her earns her respect, and she recognizes his unusual restraint and perseverance. 42 72 84

Her confidence also has a reckless side. She takes shortcuts through Six Desires Heaven, once injured herself while attempting to consume a cultivator who refined Sun Qi, and later pursued rapid advancement despite insufficient accumulation. 63 236 287

Abilities & Skills

Six Desires Heaven

Yan Yushu possesses the Heaven's Mandate known as Six Desires Heaven, a realm tied to desire, temptation, and accelerated cultivation.

• Her presence instinctively generates favorable feelings in those who see her; the Hanging Temple claimed that affected people lose their true nature and become her puppets. 28
• She can use Six Desires Heaven to entice and devour the cultivation of others. 28 56
• The realm manifests temples, Heavenly King Dharma Idols, a black lake, a lotus platform, and other Buddhist-like yet initially sinister imagery. 33 283
• Six Desires Heaven originally harmed Yan Yushu herself through its corruptive influence; after her encounters with Chen Xuan, it became purified and free of its former evil atmosphere. 33 84
• Its cultivation environment can dramatically accelerate progress, though excessive use places severe strain on Yan Yushu. 59 299

Ying Fish True Scripture

Yan Yushu cultivates the Ying Fish True Scripture, a high-level Immortal Scripture inherited through Lu Zhuan's sect.

• Its Dao Repository manifestation is named Ying Fish Tears. 81
• The Cauldron Furnace stage can cultivate the Ying Fish Sun Devouring Divine Body. 81
• She can travel rapidly on Ying Fish Qi, covering more than a thousand li overnight. 71

Great Delusion Blissful Zen Art

A forbidden Heaven's Chosen technique preserved within Six Desires Heaven.

• The technique refines spirit, body, and mind through complementary yin-yang cultivation. 287
• Yan Yushu sought it to compensate for Six Desires Heaven's comparatively weak direct combat power. 287 298
• Its prior known inheritor was Pure Desire Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Water Moon Nunnery, who was revealed to have been a previous Six Desires Heaven. 287
• Yan Yushu struggles with its complexity despite her talent and relies on Chen Xuan's comprehension and guidance to cultivate it correctly. 405 406

Combat and Breakthrough Capacity

Despite specializing in a cultivation path that emphasizes desire and rapid advancement, Yan Yushu is capable of fighting powerful cultivators directly.

• Defeated Ascetic Monks pursuing her in the Southern Wilderness, including the group led by Kong Wen. 31
• At peak Ascension, she was assessed as stronger than Chen Xuan and capable of threatening veteran Dao Repository cultivators. 56
• During the Mountain Sea Feast, she used a Supreme Technique to kill a demonic spirit while fighting alongside other prodigies. 298
• Her rapid breakthroughs leave gaps in her combat foundation, a weakness Su Fuyou explicitly identified after her ascent. 287

Relationships

• Chen Xuan — Fellow Heaven's Chosen, frequent cultivation partner, and one of the few people resistant to her charm. He aided her survival, breakthroughs, and Mortal Tribulation; she repeatedly assists his cultivation through Six Desires Heaven. 34 57 283 284
• Lu Zhuan — Master and Dao Master of the Reaching Heaven Dojo. He is fiercely protective of Yan Yushu and distrusts Chen Xuan's influence over her. 62 244
• Kong Wen — Hanging Temple Ascetic Monk who led efforts to capture her, regarding her as a grave danger to living beings. Yan Yushu later defeated his group while fleeing through the Southern Wilderness. 27 31
• Su Fuyou — Sword Immortal Maiden who protected Yan Yushu from a Monster Race Immortal Seed, but also regards her as a potential opponent and criticizes her insufficient foundation. 282 287
• Lu Yunxiao — Reaching Heaven Dojo junior brother and admirer. He reacts with open hostility toward Chen Xuan because of Yan Yushu's closeness to him. 282
• Bai Jintong — Green Hill fox and companion during the Mountain Sea Feast; she is protective of Yan Yushu and disapproves of Chen Xuan's private meetings with her. 282
