Background

Bai Ye, a modern man, transmigrates into Qian Xunji's severely injured body shortly after the failed hunt for Ah Yin. The body he inherits belongs to Martial Soul Hall's Pope, Qian Daoliu's son, Bibi Dong's teacher and enemy, and the father of Qian Renxue. Bai Ye immediately recognizes that the original Qian Xunji's fate ended with Bibi Dong devouring him during her Rakshasa God trial. 1

The original Qian Xunji had kept the gifted Bibi Dong within Martial Soul Hall by coercing her separation from Yu Xiaogang and sexually abusing her, leaving her with lasting hatred. Bai Ye inherits both this hostile relationship and the danger posed by his weakened state. 1

Rather than summon Martial Soul Hall guards who might defect after seeing his injuries, Qian Xunji initially considers seeking Qian Daoliu's protection. Bibi Dong reaches him first with poisoned medicinal soup; he avoids consuming it by transferring the soup through the Myriad Worlds Chat Group's Red Packet function. 2 5 6

The chat group gives him access to knowledge of other worlds and the means to alter his future. After revealing members' identities and trading memory copies of their stories, he receives nine holy fruits, Divine Spring, and the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art from the Ruthless Empress. He uses the Divine Spring to recover, then begins cultivating the imperial scripture. 11 13 25 27

Appearance

Qian Xunji is a handsome, blond man with long golden hair falling to his waist, a jade-like complexion, sharp eyes, and a consistently playful or cynical smile. His bearing is repeatedly compared to that of a refined yet unruly young noble. 42 61

  • Long golden hair and golden eyes when his martial soul is active. 123
  • Tall, elegant build and a composed, aristocratic demeanor. 42 193
  • Manifests two pairs of white wings in normal Seraphim form. 123
  • Gains a third pair of wings and a fully golden body while using his Avatar of Martial Soul. 124
  • His post-cultivation body is described as younger, stronger, and purified after expelling bodily impurities through the Heaven Swallowing Devil Art. 27

Personality

Qian Xunji is calculating, ambitious, and highly conscious of power. He treats information, cultivation methods, resources, and favors as tools for securing influence—using spoilers to build a base of support in the chat group and rewarding members after becoming its leader. 12 18 22

He is cautious when vulnerable and decisive once he has regained strength. He refuses to trust potentially disloyal guards, publicly reveals his cultivation method rather than conceal it, and approaches stronger opponents through planning rather than direct risk. 2 32 119 121

His pragmatism is often ruthless. He considers using captured soul masters as cultivation resources, coerces Mr. Yao into surrendering Wanyao Pavilion and signing a servant contract, and pursues enemies or obstacles with little mercy. 26 149 185 186

Despite this, he values reciprocity and recognizes debts of gratitude. He assists Gao Yao without demanding payment, rewards his supporters after the leadership election, expresses genuine thanks to the Ruthless Empress, and protects allies such as Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun during missions. 13 21 22 31 32 119 128

  • Can strip another's power without killing them, or devour flesh, blood, and origin through a more dangerous method. 26

  • Its cultivation path is inherently dangerous and requires caution; Qian Xunji initially delays practicing it until his injuries have healed. 26
