Background
Li Yun’s origins were decidedly unremarkable. He came from an ordinary family in the Xuanyue Kingdom, a small state within the Dongyun Prefecture. His aptitude for cultivation was low—assessed at Grade Five—which placed him at the very bottom of the scale used by the great sects. In the world of martial cultivation, such talent was considered barely sufficient to enter the outer gate of a sect, and it offered little hope of ever advancing beyond the most foundational realms. His predecessor, the soul whose body Li Yun would later inherit, had no grand ambitions; the simple achievement of being accepted as an Outer Sect Disciple of the Tianwu Sect was already seen as a massive success, enough to bring honor to his ancestors. The wider world beyond the Xuanyue Kingdom—the suzerain Lietian Dynasty, let alone the vast domains of the Tiangu Continent—was entirely beyond his awareness. In a world without advanced information technology, a person of such low standing had no channels to learn of such matters 33.
Li Yun’s upbringing was therefore shaped by scarcity and obscurity. He received no special resources, no guidance from powerful mentors, and no exposure to the higher mysteries of martial arts. His daily life as an outer disciple consisted of menial tasks, basic training, and the quiet routine of a minor courtyard—which he later renamed the Nameless Cottage 69. The first significant journey he undertook after his transmigration was a trip of only about three hundred kilometers, to a valley containing the Sorrowful Wind Swordplay, and even that was considered his first time traveling far from the sect’s heartland 69. His understanding of the world was narrow, and his martial knowledge was limited to the most basic techniques.
The turning point came with his transmigration at the age of sixteen. The new consciousness that took over the body received a system which converted observation and cultivation into Martial Cognition Points; those points could then be spent to directly improve martial arts and comprehension 2. At the outset, Li Yun was merely a Grade Five Outer Sect Disciple of Rank 95 Academy at the Body Tempering Realm. His only available martial art was the sect’s Basic Stance Cultivation, a non-offensive foundational technique used to temper the body 2 19.
Li Yun’s first use of the system elevated Basic Stance Cultivation from entry level through multiple stances, and continuous observation of fellow disciples allowed him to bring it to Initial Accomplishment shortly afterward 2 3. Through the dangerous Reverse Fate Art, he began overturning the limitation that had defined his former life: his aptitude rose from Fifth Grade to Fifth Grade Middle after his first successful attempt, despite the technique’s severe pain and potential lethality 19. By the time he reached the Force Refining Realm, the same art had raised him from Third Grade Middle to Second Grade High, infinitely close to First Grade aptitude 93.
His early background was thus defined by the contrast between his humble beginnings and the potential that unfolded through the system. He began with little more than a low-grade aptitude, a basic stance technique, and the willingness to learn from everything he saw. His subsequent journey—from an obscure Rank 95 Academy disciple to the Lord of Tiangu King Mountain, a Human Immortal-level Child of Destiny, and a figure feared throughout the Chaos Great Void—began with that determination to rise 2 709 1521.
Much later, Li Yun traveled between Blue Star and the Purple Moon Continent while concealing his past under the name Li Fenghua. He eventually told Yuan Buhui and Zhao Gongnian that he was Li Yun, a man from eight hundred years earlier who had entered a Secret Realm and emerged into a changed world. He considered the Yellow Martial Sect one of his roots, even though his pursuit of higher realms prevented him from leading it 2345 2399.
Abilities and Skills
System and Martial Cognition Points
Li Yun possesses a system that allows him to obtain Martial Cognition Points through observation, cultivation, and encounters with martial arts, formations, artifacts, and other phenomena. He can spend those points to improve techniques, complete loading abilities, merge compatible arts, and obtain comprehension that would ordinarily require immense time or talent 2 31 404.
- His first allocation raised Basic Stance Cultivation through seven stances using 31 Martial Cognition Points 2.
- The system enabled him to upgrade the Innate-level Unnamed Sword Art to Entry Realm after it completed loading in a secluded valley 31.
- It allows him to bypass otherwise prohibitive comprehension requirements, such as Void’s requirement that the cultivator understand the boundless nature of the Void 404.
- By the Heavenly Human Realm, he had spent tens of trillions of Martial Cognition Points to improve his Divine Abilities, arrays, and mental cultivation 408.
- In later cultivation, the Gate of Myriad Wonders uses Myriad Wonders Points to perfect and break the limits of techniques, synthesize higher-level arts, and accelerate cultivation. Li Yun increased its cultivation multiplier to forty million after enriching the Myriad Wonders World through raids and rescues 2155 2645 2770.

- At later stages, the art appears in an evolved form as Absolute Fate Reverse Origin 124 158.
Primal Chaos Art

- It enabled him to cultivate Second Grade internal force, then First Grade and eventually Super First Grade internal force 87 103 158.

Five Elements Creation Heavenly Art and Apertures
Li Yun reconstructed the One-Star Transcendent Five Elements Creation Heavenly Art by perfecting and breaking the limits of five foundational techniques derived from it. The process granted him Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth talents 2155.
- Cultivating the art separates Spirit Qi into five elements to refine his body; its initial development helped him reach Body Tempering Fourteenth Layer 2155.
- He later reached the Sixteenth Layer and opened 360 Innate Apertures. Absorbing Yin-Yang energy split them into 720 Yin-Yang Apertures, completing the Body Tempering foundation he sought 2163 2194.

- He kept his rare True Qi grades secret to avoid attention from powerful institutions 2260 2279.
Sage Arts and Accelerated Cultivation
In his later cultivation path, Li Yun used Myriad Wonders Points to accelerate comprehension and cultivation of Sage arts. He also mastered multiple arts of the same tier to strengthen his Dao Fruit and Saint Power 2484 2504 2560.
- The Cold Mountain Art carried him through the Middle Sage and Upper Sage realms; the Blazing Heaven Saint Art subsequently enabled his breakthrough to Great Sage 2444 2459 2478.
- Perfecting four Heavenly Sage arts established four Supreme Heavenly Sage Dao Foundations. He later reached Lord Sage Perfection through five Lord Sage-tier arts 2504 2523.
- He perfected ten Saint King techniques, strengthening his Saint Power roughly tenfold, though their combined insights did not suffice to derive a Saint Emperor art 2560.
- By refining captured Dao Fruits, he funded faster system-assisted cultivation, including a hundred-thousandfold mode. The Chaos Heaven Cave’s separate benefit could stack with his system’s acceleration 2625 2626 2641.
Heavenly Venerable Descends Scripture and Later Scriptures
The Gate of Myriad Wonders synthesized the Saint Venerable-level Heavenly Venerable Descends Scripture from twenty-nine perfected Saint Sect techniques and Li Yun’s Martial Dao Ladder insights. It was tailored to him and transformed his Dao Fruit, Divine Soul, Saint Power, and Martial Dao Will as he entered the Saint Venerable Realm 2645.
- He subsequently cultivated the Myriad Wonders Emperor Scripture to its perfected forty-third and forty-fourth levels, raising his Emperor Nature to 399 and then 599 zhang 2729 2735.
