Background / History

Chu Xuan first appears as a newly born Golden Immortal Lesser Shaman before the Twelve Ancestral Shamans. Though vastly beneath them in cultivation, he openly warns them that founding the Wu Clan will lead to its destruction. His knowledge of their private deliberations makes the Ancestral Shamans suspicious, while Houtu accepts responsibility for his conduct and protects him. 2

After awakening his bloodline true body, Chu Xuan chooses the Great Earth Law from the many laws available to him. His breakthrough and formation of an Ancestral Shaman True Body lead the Twelve Ancestral Shamans to accept him as their little brother. Dijiang subsequently assigns Houtu to guide his cultivation. 19

Chu Xuan conceals his Ancestral Shaman status rather than establish a tribe of his own. He instead seeks freedom to act outside the Wu Clan, claiming that Hongjun’s Second Sermon will bring a threat to the clan. 20

Personality

Chu Xuan is audacious, calculating, and unusually direct for someone who frequently works through deception. He warns the Ancestral Shamans of catastrophe despite their overwhelming strength, then repeatedly chooses secrecy when revealing his full plans would expose his position. 2 20 33

He treats the Calamity of Killing as a political opportunity. Rather than confront every opponent directly, he favors provoking factions into conflict, cultivating useful relationships, and turning other powers’ ambitions against them. 40 44 45

Despite his strategic ruthlessness, Chu Xuan is socially composed and often humorous. He can flatter rivals, defuse tense exchanges, and present fabricated motives convincingly enough to mislead powerful figures such as the Queen Mother of the West. 39 41 43 45

Story Role / Major Arcs

Warning Against the Wu Clan’s Founding

Chu Xuan arrives as a low-ranking Lesser Shaman and immediately opposes the proposed founding of the Wu Clan, predicting extinction if the Ancestral Shamans proceed. This establishes his role as a dissenter whose knowledge exceeds his apparent station. 2

Rise as an Ancestral Shaman

By refining the Great Earth Law and condensing an Ancestral Shaman True Body, Chu Xuan gains formal acceptance among the Twelve Ancestral Shamans. He then hides this advancement while planning independently against threats posed by Hongjun. 19 20

Calamity of Killing and Saint Position Schemes

Chu Xuan travels with Xuanming, attacks powerful factions around Kunlun, and deliberately amplifies conflict among Great Divine Ability Users. He negotiates with the Queen Mother of the West and Three Pure Ones while attempting to seize opportunities connected to the Saint Positions. 40 43 44 45

Innate Gourd Vine and Reincarnation Planning

He brings Houtu to Buzhou Mountain, uses her fate to locate the Innate Gourd Vine, and claims the spiritual root. He frames the treasure as a means to benefit the Witch Race and oppose Hongjun’s designs. 69 70 71

Heavenly Demon Great Dao

Chu Xuan advances both his Heavenly Demon and Great Earth Laws to Quasi-Saint, enters the realm associated with the God-Slaying Spear, and defeats Jidu for control over the Heavenly Demon Great Dao. 87 88 90 91 100

Reincarnation and Defiance of the Heavenly Dao

Chu Xuan promotes Reincarnation as a power capable of rivaling the Heavenly Dao. He uses the Witch Race, the Human Race, and a proposed counterfeit Merit system to redistribute authority and weaken the Heavenly Dao’s control. 130 186 188 197

Path to Sainthood and Conflict with Hongjun

Refusing Reincarnation Hongmeng Purple Qi, Chu Xuan attempts to become a Saint through his own refinement of Reincarnation and the Three Thousand Great Daos. Though his breakthrough stalls, he later wields Saint-level combat power in the Primordial World and directly injures Hongjun in the Chaos Sea. 220 221 208 229

Trivia

• Chu Xuan considers a good scheme more dependable than Pangu Essence Blood. 71
• He refuses to lead a tribe despite being recognized as an Ancestral Shaman, specifically to keep that status hidden. 20
• The Heavenly Dao eventually restricts him from wantonly slaughtering beings in the Primordial World. 177
