Background / History
Ling Xuan entered the Zhulong Secret Realm alongside his twin sisters, Ling Yue and Ling Xue, for their Coming-of-Age Ceremony trial. Within the dangerous three-day mission area around Mangu Temple, the siblings fought Planet-level beasts together; Ling Xuan displayed tactical judgment and concern for his sisters’ safety 2.
His rapid early advancement attracted the Temple Envoy’s attention. After cultivating the Flame Domain and fighting extensively in the Decisive Battle Space under the codename Yanmo, Ling Xuan challenged Yan Lie, a Planetary Level 9 Peak expert with a Level 3 Earth Domain. Though initially unable to overcome the gap in Genetic Origin Energy, he repeatedly reviewed the defeat, refined his techniques, and advanced to Planetary Level Tier 3 8 10 11.
The Temple Envoy subsequently brought him before the Third Elder of the Zhulong lineage. Recognizing Ling Xuan’s exceptional talent, the Third Elder established accelerated objectives intended to prepare him for the Giant Axe Martial Arena’s Star Level Genius Tournament and later the universe-wide Peak Genius Tournament 12 13.
Ling Xuan later became the Giant Axe Founder’s disciple, choosing the Nine Universe Chaos Stele and receiving the first three volumes of the Space-Time Essays 42. His career expanded from genius competitions and Heavenly Bridge trials to secret-realm exploration, treasure acquisition, outer-battlefield combat, and conflicts with alien powers.
Personality
Ling Xuan is intensely ambitious and treats cultivation as both a personal pursuit and a means to secure his family’s future. The prospect of obtaining resources for his parents and sisters strengthened his resolve to meet the Zhulong Clan’s demanding training objectives 13.
He is analytical in battle, repeatedly using virtual combat, recordings, and controlled challenges to identify weaknesses. After losing to Yan Lie, he calculated the exact Genetic Origin Energy gap he could overcome and trained against progressively stronger simulations rather than accepting defeat 11.
His treatment of enemies can be merciless. He refused Leibao’s plea for mercy, destroyed Tianyuan Mountain Stronghold, and killed its master after forcing the surrender of relic-token fragments 65 116. Conversely, he is protective of family and allies, personally entering the Qinggu Secret Realm after learning his sons had been bullied 113.
