Background

Mu Chen begins in a weakened body but discovers the Ancestral Stone and eight replica Ancestral Symbols within his Soul Space. Though identical to the originals, the symbols are rejected by the Heaven Origin World’s laws; he therefore resolves to activate and refine them gradually as his cultivation advances. He also recognizes that the Ancestral Stone and Symbols may suppress the Holy Clan. 3

After recovering enough strength to walk, Mu Chen helps Su Youwei with household work and cultivation. He later meets the Heavenly Demon Marten—reduced to a black-rat-like demon spirit—and agrees to help restore Little Marten’s body in exchange for his knowledge and support. 3 4

Appearance

Mu Chen is repeatedly described as a handsome young man with a lean, well-proportioned but deceptively powerful physique. 7 120 136

• His body develops a bronze sheen after forming the Bronze Lightning Body. 76
• The Jade Lightning Body gives his skin a warm, jade-like luster. 90
• His completed external cultivation manifests as crystalline glazed skin and tangible rings of Glazed Light. 304
• When using the Azure Dragon Transformation Art, he develops azure dragon scales, dragon wings, and a pure Dragon Clan aura. 280

Personality

Mu Chen is exceptionally determined and pain-tolerant. He willingly subjects his soul to the Spirit Grinding Mill, survives the Devouring Ancestral Symbol’s seemingly endless Darkness Realm trial, and repeatedly uses extreme body-tempering methods to overcome cultivation bottlenecks. 11 14 116 221

He remains composed against stronger opponents and is rarely intimidated by status or reputation. He openly challenges arrogant enemies, mocks the Saint Palace, and relies on calm judgment rather than outward displays of aggression. 136 167 287

Despite his ambition, Mu Chen is protective of his companions. He guides Su Youwei, supports Zhou Yuan’s growth, shares resources with Tuntun, and ultimately accepts Yao Yao’s divine power to protect all heavens. 16 197 301 377
