Background / History

Chen Zhixing was born into Ziwei's Chen Clan, a formerly long-lived aristocratic family based on Ziwei Mountain. In his past life, he knew the clan was destined to collapse after the original villainous Chen Zhixing antagonized a Destined Protagonist. Determined to avert that outcome, he resolved to eliminate emerging Destined Protagonists before they could grow strong enough to threaten his family. 8

His Nine Ancient Marks Wielder talent was discovered early, prompting Clan Leader Chen Daoyan to conceal his true potential and direct public attention toward Chen Zhaosheng instead. Chen Zhixing accepted this arrangement as protection rather than resenting it. 7 57

He began building his own strength and influence in secret. He obtained the Longevity Sword Spirit Qing Zhi, acquired portions of the fortunes and talents of multiple Destined Protagonists, and assembled a personal Shadow Division consisting initially of Dugu Ni, Hua Linghou, and Chen Buqi. 34 36 99 189

After entering Skywave Holy Land under the identity Xiao Ping, Chen Zhixing demonstrated exceptional talents in physical cultivation, Divine Sense, and technique comprehension. He later revealed his identity to his master, Mo Yuemei, and became known publicly as the Skywave Divine Child and the Third Young Master of Ziwei's Chen Clan. 149 157 195

His victories over Meng Changyuan, the Seven Heavenly Prides, Li Changsheng, and numerous other opponents established him as the leading figure of his generation. He eventually succeeded Chen Daoyan as master of Ziwei's Chen Clan, drawing recognition from thousands of sects and three Immortal Dao Lineages. 195 216 310 315 316

Appearance

Chen Zhixing is repeatedly described as a tall, exceptionally handsome youth with black hair, narrow deep-set eyes, and an aloof, refined bearing. He often wears white robes and gives others the impression of an immortal or a noble figure beyond ordinary reach. 51 110 157 231

• White robes “as pure as snow” are among his most frequent attire. 108 110
• His face is described as cold, handsome, and peerless. 51 157
• His gaze is usually calm and indifferent, but turns icy when confronting enemies. 110 231
• During his ascension ceremony, he wore a broad black-and-gold robe and a mianguan. 316

Personality

Chen Zhixing is composed, calculating, and intensely goal-oriented. Because he possesses knowledge of the original story’s trajectory, he plans far ahead, assesses threats pragmatically, and treats the growth of Destined Protagonists as an existential danger to both himself and the Chen Clan. 8 40 205

He is ruthless toward enemies and willing to use deception, coercion, or execution to remove future threats. He manipulated Ye Chen into revealing the Ancient Sword God Inheritance, ordered his eventual execution, destroyed the Zheng Clan in retaliation for the deaths of Chen disciples, and eliminated Han Zong to prevent information leaks. 34 73 110 112

Despite this ruthlessness, he values loyalty and invests heavily in those under his protection. He grants cultivation resources to Xu Dalong, recruits and develops capable followers, seeks strength to protect Ziwei's Chen Clan, and later downplays his hardships when reunited with his parents. 95 105 200 376

As his position grows, Chen Zhixing develops into a leader rather than merely an individual cultivator. Chen Daoyan identifies leadership as his defining quality, while the clan increasingly treats him as its example and future. 228 287
