Background / History

Liuli was born Gongsun Liuli, daughter of Sword Clan Leader Gongsun Lin and designated successor to the clan. She is a reincarnated transmigrator who entered the Battle Through the Heavens world with memories of her previous life as Zhang Yu, an ordinary twenty-two-year-old man. She initially believed he had died from illness caused by excessive late nights, but later recovered memories revealing that Zhang Yu had died by suicide after severe mistreatment by his mother. 2 593

Aware of future events through her knowledge of the original story, Liuli planned to travel to the Jia Ma Empire, befriend Xiao Yan, and secure the Sword Clan’s eventual support for him. Her initial motive was pragmatic survival: she expected Xiao Yan to become an Emperor and wanted to benefit from that future alliance. 2

At her coming-of-age ceremony, Liuli awakened the Seven-colored Sword Clan Mark, confirming her Divine Grade Bloodline. She then completed a solo trial through the Seeking Demon Mountain Range, where her father secretly arranged protection against threats beyond her ability. 4 7

Liuli entered Jia Nan Academy and cultivated in the Heaven Burning Qi Refining Tower. Three months of seclusion allowed her to condense the Sword Heart and enter the Dou Zong realm, but her rapid growth repeatedly caused instability and later contributed to severe damage to the Sword Heart. 23 167 292

After shattering her Sword Heart to injure a powerful enemy in the Spirit Imprisonment Realm, Liuli temporarily lost most of her combat capability. She eventually returned to the Sword Clan, where Sword Head—an ancient Sword Clan ancestor and creator of the Sword Heart method—accepted her as a disciple and offered to resolve the problem through three years in the Sword Tomb. 292 296 362

Her training restored her strength and elevated her through the Dou Zun and Dou Saint realms. As the continent-wide conflict with the Soul Clan escalated, Liuli became one of the Sword Clan’s foremost combatants, fighting Soul Hall and Soul Clan experts, defending civilians, and supporting Xiao Yan in major battles. 386 522 551

Liuli later vanished for several years before returning during the final conflict. Following the death of a woman bearing her exact appearance, she inherited an immense body of memories and techniques spanning tens of thousands of years, while the memories concerning the Azure Emperor remained blank. 590 591 593

Appearance

Liuli is a petite young woman with pale pink to cherry-colored hair and gemstone-like blue-violet eyes. At nineteen, she is listed as 161 cm tall—a point of personal dissatisfaction—and is noted for her gentle, refined beauty. 2 19 25 386

• Smooth, fair skin and a delicate, slender build 2 386
• Blue-violet eyes described as star-like or gemstone-bright 2 23
• Usually recognizable by her light pink hair; she can alter her appearance with Face-Shaping Pills and disguises 59
• Her Seven-colored Sword Clan Mark appears on her forehead when activating her bloodline 292 370
• Frequently wears green, blue, or blue-and-white robes; she also uses masks and alternate identities when necessary 2 59 435 522

Personality

Liuli is bright, forthright, and playful despite her composed, gentle appearance. She initially dislikes long periods of cultivation and prefers refining pills, exploring new places, or making plans for the future; however, she becomes exceptionally disciplined when her friends or clan are threatened. 2 181 382

Her practical early plan to rely on Xiao Yan gradually becomes genuine devotion. She repeatedly risks herself to protect him, Zi Yan, and civilians caught in conflicts, even when doing so damages her Sword Heart or leaves her unable to fight. 121 215 292 304

Liuli is uncomfortable with killing and initially struggles with bloody confrontations. Over time, she becomes able to execute enemies she considers irredeemably cruel, while retaining compassion for victims and discomfort with violence. 288 307

She has lingering anxiety about disappointing her father and about the meaning of her reincarnated identity. Gongsun Lin’s reassurance that her happiness matters more than her cultivation progress helps ease this fear. 359 593

Abilities & Skills

Sword Clan Inheritance and Sword Heart

Liuli practices the Sword Clan inheritance technique, the Two Forms Thirteen Sword Techniques. Condensing a Sword Heart improves her cultivation speed, gives her Dou Qi Sword Qi-like offensive properties, and allows her to release stored energy for a temporary increase in strength. 23

• Her cultivation technique advanced to Earth-tier High Rank after opening its Third Seal with the Sword Heart. 23
• The technique later entered the Heavenly Rank after unlocking its Third Layer. 370
• The Sword Heart can be shattered as a desperate offensive measure, but doing so severely damages her strength and requires long recovery. 292 350 362
• Its output cannot sustain prolonged, large-scale Dou Qi expenditure. 269

Swordsmanship

Liuli specializes in multi-sword combat, remote sword control, and high-output Sword Qi techniques.

• Three Swords, Flowing Years — merges three swords for a decisive cutting strike; used to destroy a Five-star Dou Huang Alchemy Puppet. 2
• Thirteen Absolutes — she had mastered eight swords by age fifteen; the tenth through thirteenth are unknown or exceed Heaven-tier classification. 2 25
• Gazing at the Moon — Earth-tier High Rank illusion technique used to confuse the Purple Cloud Thunder Lion King and control a Bronze Puppet. 8 269
• Falling Geese on a Sandbank — high-grade sword technique used against Bronze Puppets and the Netherworld Demonic Saint. 269 503
• Fleeting Bloom — Quasi-Heavenly Tier technique used with Heart Rain to defeat Soul Hall Elder Qiu Gu. 280
• Three Thousand Lotus Flowers — creates innumerable Sword Qi lotuses to intercept attacks. 522
• Nine Lotuses Return to One, World Purifier — Liuli merges with her sword technique to cut through Hun Sha’s ultimate attack and wound him. 522
• Myriad Swords Return to Origin — empowered by the Sword Tomb to heavily injure Hun Ge. 551

Divine Grade Bloodline

• Her fully awakened bloodline enabled her to reach the Dou Venerate realm. 215
• She gave Xiao Yan a drop of Essence Blood, temporarily granting him the Sword Clan’s Dou Di bloodline and raising him to Four-star Dou Spirit. 126

Yin Yang Twin Flames

Liuli possesses the Yin Yang Twin Flames, ranked twenty-first among Exotic Flames. They appear as intertwined black-and-white flames and can empower her Dou Qi wings and attacks. 15 25

• The flames helped her execute high-speed movement and combat techniques. 7 15
• Their presence broadens her cultivation beyond the Sword Clan’s normal sword-focused path. 99
• She entrusted Xiao Yan with a Black and White Pearl to control the flames when her own body could not release Dou Qi. 126

Alchemy and Soul Power

Liuli is a peak Fifth-grade Alchemist whose Soul Power is sufficient for Sixth-grade pills, though her refinement proficiency at that grade initially lags behind. 2 25

• Can refine advanced pills and identify prescriptions through Soul Power. 23 38
• Refined a pill that helped Elder Liu break through to the Dou Huang realm. 23
• Failed multiple attempts to refine Ninth-grade pills despite possessing the cultivation and resources to attempt them. 394
• Her Soul Power reached Great Perfection of the Spirit Realm by the time she regained her Dou Qi. 370

Doppelganger and Disguise Techniques

Liuli uses Spirit Condensation Absolute to create and control a convincing Doppelganger. 29 59

• Her Doppelganger initially possesses Dou Ling-level strength. 29
• She trained for nearly a month to control both bodies simultaneously. 29
• The Doppelganger has limitations that prevent it from performing actions requiring Liuli’s true body, such as retrieving her Storage Ring in a dangerous situation. 126
• Face-Shaping Pills and disguises allow Liuli to assume identities such as Yu Gongtian. 59

Movement and Spatial Techniques

Liuli has strong mobility and spatial-control abilities.

• Absolute Shadow Flash — Earth-tier Low Grade movement technique that allows near-instant relocation. 7
• Space Lock — trapped fleeing Soul Hall Protectors before she killed them. 288

• Gongsun Sanbu — Alchemy master. He is stern about Liuli neglecting her cultivation and alchemy training. 2
• Xiao Yan — Romantic partner and husband. Liuli initially approached him strategically, but their bond became one of mutual protection, trust, and affection. 2 126 480 485
• Zi Yan — Close friend whom Liuli treats as a younger sister. Liuli is fiercely protective of her and later travels to Ancient Dragon Island to help her. 121 387
