Background / History

Yang Chan was originally a programmer from Zhonghua who practiced health routines and followed Tai Chi videos in his spare time. He died after being forced into overnight overtime work, then transmigrated into the Great Zhou Dynasty as a Qingyuan Sect handyman disciple whose body had been depleted of Blood Essence. 1

His status panel became the foundation of his survival. Rather than immediately strengthening the Ox Demon Strength Fist, Yang Chan used his first potential points on the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Technique, restoring his body and establishing a lifelong priority: longevity before combat power. 1

As a Medicine Hall disciple, he developed apothecary and alchemy skills while pursuing promotion within the Qingyuan Sect. His rapid comprehension of Raging Bull Strength earned him the Turtle Breath Body Nourishing Technique and the favor of Hall Master Gu An; he subsequently chose alchemy as a route to remain within the sect and avoid dangerous external assignments. 9 12

Yang Chan’s experiences with assassination attempts, sect conflict, and figures such as Lu Zhenghai made him increasingly cautious. He prepared hidden weapons, poisons, antidotes, escape routes, aura-concealment methods, and contingency plans rather than relying on open strength alone. 38 66 80

His standing rose from Qingyuan Sect alchemist to Tianxuan Holy Land figure. He entered the Pill Pavilion, managed the Spiritual Medicine Tower, arranged loyal personnel, and was later chosen by Bai Keyi to temporarily assume the Pill Pavilion Master’s duties. 642 645 646 817

After the resurgence of divine power and the fall of imperial powers, Yang Chan broke through to the Divine Aperture Realm and became the first Sect Master of the Dongyuan Divine Sect, whose branches included several former Holy Lands. 908 916

Appearance

Yang Chan has a fair complexion associated with Qingyuan Sect alchemists and retains an unusually youthful appearance despite his growing age and position. 140 889 After cultivating the Tai Chi Health Cultivation Technique to higher levels, he learned to restrain his immense vitality within his flesh and blood, allowing him to appear outwardly ordinary. 918

• Fair-skinned, particularly after using the Dragon Bone Medicinal Bath. 140
• Appears young and vigorous among senior cultivators who visibly show age. 889
• Can conceal the life force and aura produced by his cultivation breakthroughs. 842 918

Personality

Yang Chan is methodical, cautious, and deeply committed to self-preservation. He consistently chooses secure accumulation over hazardous opportunities, declining to enter secret realms or ruins when the potential rewards do not justify the danger. 519 828

His defining ambition is longevity. He regards martial strength as necessary protection for a living person, but considers lifespan the foundation upon which every other goal depends. 1 31 After reaching a thousand-year lifespan, he set his sights on ten thousand years and ultimately pursued transcendence through the Great Dao of Longevity. 767 842 938

Although he usually stays low-key and avoids unnecessary conflict, Yang Chan is ruthless when he decides an enemy must be removed. He favors eliminating threats completely, destroying bodies, Soul Bodies, and possible traces that could enable retaliation. 267 857 913

Abilities & Skills

Status Panel

Yang Chan possesses a virtual panel that displays his lifespan, Talent, potential points, professions, techniques, and proficiency. Potential points can be allocated to accelerate improvement; once proficiency reaches 100%, the relevant skill automatically advances. 1

• Potential points directly improve techniques and professions. 1 191
• His enhanced Talent reduces the practice needed to gain proficiency. 535
• The panel allows him to develop several health-preserving methods without the diminishing returns normally suffered by other cultivators. 635 842

Tai Chi Health Cultivation Technique

Yang Chan’s defining cultivation method began as a health practice but evolved into a path toward the Great Dao of Longevity. It increases lifespan, Talent, vitality, recovery, physical strength, and cultivation efficiency. 1 80 843

• Restores depleted Blood Essence and allows sustained training without permanently damaging his foundation. 1 2
• Created the Tai Chi Longevity Body, later identified as the Innate Tai Chi Longevity Body. 535 767
• Enables direct absorption of spiritual energy to temper his body, though Yang Chan suppresses this ability when exposure would attract attention. 540 541
• Granted Limb Regeneration at Fifth Order; initially, his head and heart remained exceptions. 534
• Later developed recovery sufficient to regenerate even a destroyed head or heart. 916
• At Seventh Tier, grants Blood Rebirth so long as a preserved drop of blood containing his life information remains intact. 917
• At Eighth Rank, lets him preserve Soul Body information in a strand of hair, making complete destruction far more difficult. 934
• At Tenth Tier, made him the Lord of the Great Dao of Longevity. 938

Swordsmanship

Yang Chan cultivates the Demon Subduing Sword Technique, Demon Subduing Sword Intent, Sword Momentum, and the Swordsman profession. His sword path strengthens both his killing power and spiritual strength. 191 336

• Demon Subduing Sword Intent can target inner demonic will or external demonic wills. 191
• Advancing to Second Order transformed his Sword Intent into Sword Momentum, which can merge with the momentum of heaven and earth. 336
• Sword Momentum improves his ability to identify flaws, perceive hostile intent, and wield combat experience equivalent to extensive real battle. 336
• The Primordial Sword can be controlled to kill enemies; it effortlessly slew a Sand Giant Scorpion comparable to a one-cleansing Marrow Cleansing Grandmaster. 567
• His later Sword Domain allows him to completely destroy both physical bodies and Soul Bodies. 913

Martial Imprints and Demon Lineage Techniques

Yang Chan cultivates multiple demon-based martial imprints, including the Ox Demon, Tiger Demon, Jiaomo, Peng Demon, and Demon Dragon imprints. 835

• Martial Imprints dramatically increase combat power but can cause weakness after activation if held too long. 182
• He uses controlled, brief activation to reduce backlash. 182
• The Five Demon True Intent and related imprints contribute to his mental strength and Divine Sea cultivation. 835 836
• The Demon Dragon Blood Transformation Art strengthened his body through successive Blood Transformations and helped prepare him to break the human-god boundary. 720 857

Alchemy

Yang Chan began as an apothecary and became an accomplished alchemist whose abilities earned him influence in both the Qingyuan Sect and Tianxuan Holy Land. 1 645

• Refines cultivation pills, healing medicines, antidotes, and poisons. 38 719
• Became a Third-level Alchemist within the Pill Pavilion and later gained recognition as a Top Alchemist. 637 719
• Successfully refined Azure Spirit Bone Marrow Pills and Snow Lotus Marrow-Creating Pills. 719
• Can refine the White Jade Nether Marrow Pill to perfect quality. 748
• Uses alchemy to increase his daily potential-point income and prepare for future breakthroughs. 728

Concealment and Preparedness

Yang Chan supplements his cultivation with aura suppression, poisons, hidden weapons, and escape planning.

• The Calm Heart Breath Holding Method conceals his aura, including the aura of an Internal Refinement Grandmaster. 137
• He improved the method to conceal his essence and qi from pursuers such as the Great Yin Saintess. 469
• He purchases and prepares hidden weapons, poisonous herbs, Five Poisons Powder, and matching antidotes before dangerous journeys. 38

Relationships

• Han Bingyu — trusted alchemist assistant and intelligence gatherer; Yang Chan entrusts her with information gathering, personnel investigation, and operational matters. 636 817
• Black Dragon — advisor, guardian, and later Artifact Spirit of the Mysterious Yin Divine Pearl; their relationship developed from coercive information exchange into practical cooperation and mutual dependence. 369 767 933
• Gu An — Qingyuan Sect Hall Master who favored Yang Chan after his Raging Bull Strength achievement and provided him with the complete Dragon Demon techniques. 12 137
