History

Early cultivation

Jiang Chuan began as a student of Immortal Gate High School. Even shortly after reaching Skin Tempering, his physique was strong enough to dominate Wei Tao in a cold-weapons spar, prompting Meng Nanxi and Song Zhiyi to suspect that he might possess an unconfirmed Special Physique 25.

He trained through military deployments around Nandu City, repeatedly recognizing the gulf between himself and high-level cultivators and seeking faster advancement. His early cultivation centered on the Great Sun Slaughtering God Technique, body tempering, lightning spear arts, and the accumulation of Merit Points for resources and equipment 27 37 79.

Cangwu Realm and Ji Yan

Principal Zhang Yanfeng entrusted Jiang Chuan with the Green Wood Eternal Spring Technique and the Empty Green Ring. Jiang Chuan initially rejected the technique after learning that its Wood Element Transcendent Factor side effect turned a cultivator's hair green, but accepted that the effect could be reversed through refinement 96.

In the Cangwu Realm, Jiang Chuan came into conflict with Ji Yan, Dao Seed of Crystal Cave Heaven. Ji Yan's High-Grade Dao Tool, the Taichong Sword Pool, shattered Jiang Chuan's Yin Yang Dragon Snake Scissors and made the difference in their resources unmistakable, strengthening Jiang Chuan's resolve to improve 163.

Their later duel escalated beyond their nominal realm: Jiang Chuan broke the Heavenly Light Realm and forced Ji Yan to deploy the Taichong Sword Pool. The battle left Jiang Chuan badly injured and damaged his origin, but he subsequently gained Ji Yan's Purple Heaven Immortal Jade Sword, storage treasure, immortal dew, Immortal Mist, and partial immortal scriptures 295 300 303.

Recovery and rise in Great Xia

Despite his damaged origin, Jiang Chuan refined additional Golden Cores, developed the Three Imperial Seals, and killed Yuan Lei—who wielded Black Battle Armor and a top-tier Mid-Grade Dao Tool—with the Flying Immortal Sword Art 306 309.

His rapidly growing strength and volatile reputation made him a feared figure in Great Xia. He publicly challenged Daoist Master Yunshan at He Xu's mourning hall, releasing blood energy so immense that onlookers compared it to that of an Eighth Realm Dragon Descendant 342.

Jiang Chuan cultivated the Taiji Diagram, Life and Death Diagram, Great Dao Azure Heaven Diagram, Heaven's Will Sword Technique, and numerous other scriptures while taking on increasingly important military and political roles. By the time he manifested his Dharma Form, he regarded ordinary Ninth Realm peak cultivators as unable to withstand five moves from him 386 455 599.

King of Jiangnan and immortality

As his influence expanded, Jiang Chuan became known as the King of Jiangnan. He commanded forces in campaigns across Great Xia and abroad, planned operations with the Seven Swords King, and used cultivation strength as both a military and political deterrent 686 824 828.

He later crossed the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and was recognized as the King of Jiangnan, King of Great Xia, and Jiang Emperor. Even while wounded from successive battles, he personally supported Chu Wan'er's recovery with his magical power 955.

Appearance

Jiang Chuan is described as tall and upright, with a handsome face. His thick, blade-like brows and deep, sharp eyes give him an imposing and decisive presence 594 742.

• Often wears Black Battle Armor that emits divine light in combat 594.
• Carries a sword at his waist and has been compared to a young general while wearing his black cloak 306.
• His body can radiate golden light intense enough to turn his hair gold and make his bearing appear sacred 594.
• His blood energy is exceptionally vast, repeatedly leading observers to question whether he is human 245 342.

Personality

Jiang Chuan is relentlessly ambitious. He treats every defeat, injury, and gap in power as a reason to cultivate harder, whether facing Ji Yan's Dao Tool, recovering from damaged origin, or preparing to challenge cultivators above his realm 163 304 599.

He is blunt, confrontational, and often willing to escalate disputes rather than defuse them. This tendency has made officials, classmates, foreign cultivators, and even allies wary of provoking him—particularly because he frequently threatens opponents with Dragon Serpent Combined Attack 422 426 686.

Despite this reputation, Jiang Chuan is attached to his family and companions. He returned home before his tribulation to help with chores and spend time with his parents, and he continued channeling magical power into Chu Wan'er to keep her injuries from worsening after his own ascension 920 955.
