Background
Jiang Fengxian was born to a human Golden Core cultivator and a member of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan. Her father was forcibly taken away by his father, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan’s Second Elder, after Jiang Fengxian’s mother became pregnant. The conflicting human and Heavenly Phoenix bloodlines in Fengxian’s unborn body nearly killed her; her mother used a lifespan-draining secret technique to preserve her life, then died before Fengxian was five years old. 515
Before dying, her mother ordered her to conceal her Heavenly Phoenix bloodline, avoid Nascent Soul cultivators before reaching the Golden Core Stage, and not seek her father in the Savage Jungle before attaining the Nascent Soul Stage. Fengxian therefore cultivated in secrecy within the Savage Jungle, only cautiously entering the Southern Barbarian Country to trade and discuss Dao. 515
By the time Zhou Yang met her, she was an Eighth-layer Purple Mansion rogue cultivator, an accomplished beast tamer, and the host of an exclusive exchange meeting. 339
Appearance
Jiang Fengxian is a strikingly beautiful woman often associated with seven-colored attire and spirit beasts. At their first meeting, she rode a Five-colored Peacock while wearing flowing colorful robes and a seven-colored skirt. 338
- Normally has a human appearance, with black-and-white eyes. 515
- Can manifest genuine flesh-and-blood Seven-Colored Phoenix Wings. 515
- Her bloodline transformation gives her a sacred, distinctly non-human presence. 515
- Often travels with the Seven-Colored Cloud Swallowing Python or the Seven-colored Peacock, Jiang Cai’er. 351 626
Personality
Jiang Fengxian is proud, strong-willed, and intensely independent. Even when the Red Desert’s extreme heat exhausted her Wood-element cultivation, she refused to ask Zhou Yang to slow down, forcing herself to continue until he discreetly adjusted their rest schedule. 514
Her independence also makes her resistant to being treated as someone in need of protection. When Zhou Yang worried about her ability to complete the Tai Xu Refining Spirit Art trial, she rejected the implication that she was fragile. 542
Years of hiding her ancestry made her guarded and cautious, but she is capable of deep trust once it is earned. She revealed her origins only after Zhou Yang proved willing to risk danger beside her and entrusted her with his own background. 515 516 She is also practical and fair in cooperation, repeatedly dividing treasure-hunting gains equitably and making strategic decisions without sentimentality. 351 355 539
Abilities & Skills
Verdant Wood Spirit Body
Jiang Fengxian possesses the Verdant Wood Spirit Body, a spiritual body naturally suited to Wood-element cultivation. It gives her exceptional cultivation potential and enabled her to pursue Golden Core formation without relying on conventional Core Formation resources. 356
- Cultivates Wood-element methods with exceptional affinity. 356
- Used the Single Wood Forest supernatural ability to create a forest of vegetation and vines that immobilized rock giants. 525
- Her Golden Core phenomenon drew vast quantities of spiritual qi into a seven-colored vortex hundreds of feet wide. 358
Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline
Her mixed Heavenly Phoenix heritage grants her powerful innate abilities but also forced her to live in secrecy for most of her life. Her True Phoenix Blood was later recognized as one of the secrets that distinguished her within the Kunxu Realm. 515 547
- Manifests Seven-Colored Phoenix Wings that are physical rather than illusory. 515
- Releases seven-colored flames that caused Spirit Devouring Fire Ants to explode rather than merely burn. 515
- Her bloodline aura can suppress fire-aligned demonic beasts, including the Fifth-tier Crimson Flame Fire Centipede. 518
- Her seven-colored spirit light can immobilize opponents, including a Poison Flood Dragon. 521
- Can use Nirvana to recover from grave injuries, though doing so carries a severe cost. 546
- Ultimately transformed into a true phoenix after consuming the Immortal Divine Fruit. 901
Beast Taming and Poison Cultivation
Jiang Fengxian is widely known for beast taming and regularly fights alongside powerful spirit beasts. 339
- Commands the Seven-Colored Cloud Swallowing Python, a Tier 4 High-grade demonic beast that devoured Lin Ruihua’s corpse. 347 351
- Uses poisonous herbs and the python’s spirit blood to brew lethal bait capable of attracting high-tier poisonous beasts. 521
- Raised the Seven-colored Peacock, Jiang Cai’er, through a beast-taming secret art that maintained a connection between them. 626
- Learned spiritual plant cultivation after settling on Donglai Immortal Island. 668
Combat Judgment
Jiang Fengxian combines artifacts, spirit beasts, bloodline abilities, and tactical preparation rather than relying on raw cultivation alone.
- Battled the Ninth-layer Purple Mansion cultivator Duanmu Yong despite beginning the fight injured. 347
- Used a green wooden token containing a Golden Core cultivator’s supernatural ability to defeat Lin Ruihua. 351
- Helped Zhou Yang hunt the Fifth-tier Poison Flood Dragon by preparing specialized poison bait and using her bloodline abilities to restrain it. 521
- Killed Nascent Soul cultivators Shen Luoyan and Yulong Xuanyong with Heavenly Lightning Orbs during the assault on the Goddess Palace. 672

- Jiang Yufeng — Her daughter with Zhou Yang. Fengxian raised her alone after leaving the Kunxu Realm and repeatedly endangered herself to protect her from the Goddess Palace and the instability of her phoenix blood. 629 701

After Duanmu Yong’s ambush kills Li Zhengwei and Xiao Feng, Fengxian and Zhou Yang survive by working together. She proves trustworthy in Qingyun Garden by awakening Zhou Yang from an illusion instead of taking the cave dwelling’s treasures for herself. 347 352
She forms her Golden Core after years of seclusion in the garden, while Zhou Yang defends the formation from demonic beasts drawn by her Core Formation phenomenon. 356 358 360

Imprisonment in the Goddess Palace
After leaving the Kunxu Realm, Fengxian discovered she was pregnant and gave birth to Jiang Yufeng in the Cultivation World of the Tiannan Continent. Later, while seeking treatment for her daughter, she joined the Goddess Palace, only to discover that its Palace Mistress intended to control both mother and daughter. 629
When Fengxian attempted to leave with Jiang Yufeng, the Goddess Palace placed her under house arrest and arranged Jiang Yufeng’s forced marriage to Yulong Jinhuang of the Imperial Dragon Family. 628 629
