Biography
Ye Muxuan's journey began as Mu Xuan, the legitimate son of the Mu Tribe leader, growing from a young hunter into a powerful Domain Lord. His early life was marked by a relentless pursuit of strength and recognition, eventually earning him the respect of the Council of Elders 1. After leaving his secret realm, he ventured into the cosmic starry sky, facing numerous challenges that honed his combat prowess. He eventually entered the Outer Battlefield as a Domain Lord level 9, where he continued his ascent, becoming a World Lord. For over a hundred thousand years, he wandered alone, earning the title of World Lord General, renowned for his ability to combat Immortals 1. His original life as Mu Xuan culminated in a near-death experience on the Outer Battlefield, where he was struck by a soul attack from a Sky Wolf Race World Lord. Despite using two Life Fruit treasures, he lost consciousness and fell into a critical state 1.
Following this near-death experience, Ye Muxuan underwent a profound rebirth. He awakened in his villa, his injuries healed, and the remnants of the previous battle gone. This awakening marked the emergence of a new soul, now the sole master of Mu Xuan's body. This new identity, Ye Muxuan, was forged through countless cycles of dreams spanning hundreds of thousands to millions of years, leaving him with a cold and sharp heart. Unlike the practical and adventurous Mu Xuan, Ye Muxuan developed a preference for luxury and mental stimulation 2. He spent over a month organizing his spoils of war, selling most of them to the military 2.
After his rebirth, Ye Muxuan began to shape his new existence. He entered a vast lava lake region in the Tanhai Secret Region, where he discovered and harvested a World Lord-level lake lotus. His Liyan Clone, having reached 84 times the life gene level, entered the lava lakes, where he found and harvested numerous mature Flame Crystal Lotuses, each valued at billions of Hunyuan Units. He also encountered and dealt with Immortal-level flame lifeforms, and notably, found a piece of God-Fall Gilded Gold worth over 800 billion points. After thirty years, he left the lava lake, having collected thirty-two mature Flame Crystal Lotuses 106.
Later, Ye Muxuan returned to his homeland after 120,000 years, meeting the Council of Elders, led by Grand Elder Zhong Li. The Council, recognizing his capabilities, decided to relocate their people from the secret region to the Primal Universe, choosing the Chenyi Star Region. Ye Muxuan hosted a banquet for the Council and was nominated as the leader of his people 56. He then faced the Gatekeepers—a minotaur, an Ape-man, and a Snake Woman—at Tongtian Mountain. Using his superior consciousness and willpower, he defeated them, clearing the mountain and officially becoming a core member of the Primordial Secret Realm. This feat quickly spread, earning him recognition from the upper echelons of the Human Race 48.
Ye Muxuan continued to guide his clan, leading to the promotion of several Domain Lords and World Lords within the Qingyuan Clan. During this period, Yan Tong and Qing Que became his mistresses and later gave birth to his children. He planned to send Yan Tong, Qing Que, and three Grand Elders to Chaos City to mend their souls and increase their chances of becoming Immortals. He also fully comprehended the Law of Time, preparing for his breakthrough to Immortal 120. He monitored the gestation of his Clear Jade Bamboo clone 120.
He returned to the Mu Tribe's star system, helping his clansmen settle in. He invested 40,000 Hunyuan Units to secure a World Lord quota for Zhong Li to comprehend the Chaos Steel. Ye Muxuan formally became the clan leader, promising World Lord comprehension quotas for Elders who reached the peak of the World Lord rank. After 30 years, he departed for the Outer Battlefield, leaving behind substantial resources for his clansmen and Elders 58.
After officially becoming an Immortal Deity, Ye Muxuan established his God Kingdom near the Qingyuan Star Region to protect his clansmen. At the moment of breakthrough, he possessed Peak King-level strength, and his combined treasures and clones gave him combat power comparable to a high-level Universe Venerable 121 122. He later traveled to the Primal Star to gather heavy treasures, strengthen his clones, and establish his standing among the Human Race's upper echelons 123.
Ye Muxuan's strength continued to grow, reaching a level comparable to a Venerable. He planned to visit the Primal Star to acquire heavy treasures and demonstrate his power, and Longyu King expressed her intention to join him 123. He then traveled to the Outer Battlefield's Luoyin Continent, heading towards the Star Tower 123. After becoming a Venerable, he received offers from Marquis Rank and King Level powerhouses to join his faction but declined, choosing instead to focus on personal growth and creating Secret Techniques. He sent his Qingyuzhu Clone and Liyan Clone to the Primal Star to compete for Supreme Treasures and search for Heavy Treasures, while his Huang Ku clone focused on the Starry Realm. He also created a new Nine Nether Clone for the Primal Star and returned to Chaos City to work on his Secret Techniques 169.
He contributed a component of the Heaven-Patrolling Wings (Xifeng Wings) and over six hundred heavy treasures to the Human Race, earning 3.2 Supreme Treasure Points, bringing his total to 87.2. He considered flooding the market with heavy treasures from the remaining Primal Stars to change the exchange rate. His main body cultivated in Chaos City and occasionally lectured, while his Huang Ku clone continued to retrieve treasures 161. He visited Ming Yu, who was undergoing a critical transformation, and observed the development of the Qingyuan Universe Kingdom. He also checked on his clones' progress before entering the Xuanling Tower to comprehend its secret patterns 266.
Ye Muxuan became a Universe Master under the title Shadow Blade Master, joining the Human Race's highest echelon. At a celebration attended by eighteen other Universe Masters, his extraordinary clone-based survival ability was recognized as among the greatest in the universe. Rather than demand more weapons, he requested the territory of a medium-sized universe kingdom so that the Qingyuan Clan could multiply and prosper 193. His power and status subsequently made him a major target of investigation by other races in the Universe Ocean 239.
A significant turning point occurred when Ye Muxuan fused with Duan Donghe's inheritance mark, becoming the 193rd successor and gaining control of the inheritance space. He learned about the core inheritances: Duanmie, Donghua, and the Undying River. Duan Donghe's virtual consciousness dissipated, leaving behind a Memory Stone for Ye Muxuan. He then returned to the outside world, departing the Flame Ice Domain using the Xuanling Tower. In the Virtual Universe, he convened a supreme meeting with twenty-nine powerful beings of the Human Race 340.
As a Shadow Blade Master, Ye Muxuan discovered a modified Boat of Mausoleum containing a sect inheritance that could potentially help transcend Reincarnation. He revealed this to the Human Race's powerhouses, who gathered for a meeting, expressing their determination to retrieve it. He declined an escort from Giant Axe Founder and Chaos True God, revealing that he had traded Bixiao Palace to Thunder Robe Demon God to obtain the inheritance 341. He allowed Universe Masters access to basic inheritances and proposed a plan to distribute the Duan Donghe inheritance among the four Universe Supreme Beings. He chose the Muying Disk as his Origin Embryo 343.
Ye Muxuan later revealed his long-term pursuit of an ancient civilization's legacy, which he believed could help humans transcend reincarnation. He had successfully passed the first trial task and was awaiting the second, which required him to kill an opponent across tiers using the basic inheritance. The Original Ancestor, Chaos City Lord, and Giant Axe Founder discussed strategies to help him complete this crucial trial 221.
In later years, Ye Muxuan created the self-propagating Purple Flame Race by using the Yan God Clan as a blueprint and incorporating Heart Array and Will Array methods. This research advanced his divine-power path from 79,000 to 85,000 times the life gene level 410. After emerging from seclusion, he discovered that a Flat Cylindrical Object could devour an opponent's origin and analyze their moves. He also attained the ability to perform a Chaos-level move and supported Lian Feng's proposal to establish a sixth faction for their lineage within the Human Race 480.

Relationships
White Phoenix Palace Master
White Phoenix Palace Master serves as Ye Muxuan's mentor and eventually becomes his personal teacher, fostering a relationship built on recognition of his exceptional talent and mutual respect 45 118 169. She initially takes him as a named disciple, but due to his rapid progress, reaching the 18th level in just over 3,000 years, she elevates him to a personal disciple 45. This deepening of their relationship is marked by Ye Muxuan performing the traditional prostration and kowtow rituals, signifying his gratitude and respect 45. White Phoenix Palace Master actively nurtures his development, offering guidance and valuable resources. For instance, she gifts him a top-tier heavy treasure—a pair of ancient combat boots—to aid him in an upcoming life-and-death trial 45. She also provides strategic advice, such as on selecting subordinates, and offers him a Supreme Treasure as a gift upon his advancement to Venerable 169. Her support extends to discussions with other high-ranking figures like Chaos City Lord regarding Ye Muxuan's ambitious plans, such as gestating clones from special lifeforms, indicating her high expectations for his potential 118. The respect for her status and strength is evident as other Venerables and Kingdom Lords cease their interest in recruiting Ye Muxuan once she takes him as her personal disciple 45.
As Ye Muxuan's cultivation surpassed the ordinary standards of a disciple, their relationship became increasingly one of mutual consultation. White Phoenix Palace Master sought his guidance regarding her own cultivation path, while Ye Muxuan continued to treat her with the respect due to his teacher 213. Their shared status as top-tier Universe Overlords was regarded as a celebrated relationship among the universe's powerhouses 168.
Chaos City Lord and Giant Axe Founder
Chaos City Lord and Giant Axe Founder are significant figures within the Human Race who demonstrate support and high expectations for Ye Muxuan. Chaos City Lord, though not always interacting directly with Ye Muxuan, is shown to be aware of and supportive of his endeavors, as evidenced by his discussions with White Phoenix Palace Master regarding Ye Muxuan's plans to create special lifeform clones 118. He provides Ye Muxuan with essential materials, including a world ring containing necessary components and a portion of Beast God Blood, through his envoys, further solidifying his role as a benefactor 118. Giant Axe Founder is also instrumental in Ye Muxuan's progress, aiding in the acquisition of a portion of Nine Nether Sea blood sea genes for his clone gestation 118. Both Chaos City Lord and Giant Axe Founder display a collective concern for Ye Muxuan's safety and the broader interests of the Human Race. When Ye Muxuan discovers a sect inheritance that could help transcend Reincarnation, they, along with other Human Race powerhouses, express determination to retrieve it safely. Giant Axe Founder and Chaos True God even plan to personally escort Ye Muxuan back, though he declines 341. Their interactions underscore a relationship of mutual respect and shared responsibility for the future of their race, with Ye Muxuan's decisions, such as trading Bixiao Palace for the inheritance, being met with understanding and support 341.
Yan Tong and Qing Que
Yan Tong and Qing Que are Ye Muxuan's mistresses and later mothers of his children, forming a deep and supportive family unit 120 161. Their relationship evolves from romantic partners to a shared responsibility in raising their offspring and managing the Qingyuan Clan 120. They demonstrate a profound understanding and respect for Ye Muxuan's decisions and ambitions, consistently supporting him in his endeavors 120. Ye Muxuan, in turn, shows care for their well-being and development. He plans to send them, along with three Grand Elders, to Chaos City to mend their souls and enhance their chances of becoming Immortals, highlighting his commitment to their growth and safety 120. While they manage family matters, such as discussing their children's behavior with Ye Muxuan, they also understand the demands of his cultivation and responsibilities 161. Their children, including Le Yun, Qing Wu, Han Xi, and Chen Xing, are a central part of their lives, with Ye Muxuan keeping a watchful eye on their cultivation and activities, hoping they learn to temper their talents 161.
Longyu King
Longyu King is a subordinate of Ye Muxuan, initially expressing interest in joining his team and later becoming a key figure in his network 78 123 166 169. Her ambition and confidence are evident early on when she considers joining Zhenyan King's team 78. As Ye Muxuan's strength grows, she actively seeks to align herself with him, betting on his future potential 123. This loyalty solidifies when she acts as his representative, handling invitations to Kings for his Venerable rank celebration banquet in the Virtual Universe 166. This role not only demonstrates Ye Muxuan's trust in her but also elevates her own status and respect among other Kings 166. She continues to serve as a crucial intermediary, reporting offers from other Marquis Rank and King Level powerhouses who wish to join Ye Muxuan's faction, even though he ultimately declines to expand his subordinate forces at that time 169.
Ye Muxuan gave Longyu King ten thousand epochs to become capable of killing a Peak King-level opponent head-on, providing her with substantial resources and a top-tier heavy treasure to support this demand 134. Under Qingsui's guidance, she eventually reached high-tier King-level strength and was able to rival Peak Kings while wielding her War Sword 165. Her status continued to rise alongside Ye Muxuan's, eventually reaching a point where even Venerables treated her cautiously due to her association with Shadow Blade Master 391.
The Mu Tribe and Qingyuan Clan
Ye Muxuan holds a strong sense of responsibility and care for his clansmen, the Mu Tribe and the Qingyuan Clan, acting as a leader and benefactor 58 120 266. He ensures their settlement and provides resources for their growth and advancement 58. As the clan leader, he promises World Lord comprehension quotas for Elders who reach the peak of the World Lord rank, demonstrating his commitment to their cultivation 58. He invests significantly, spending 40,000 Hunyuan Units to purchase a World Lord quota for Zhong Li to comprehend the Chaos Steel, and leaves behind resources and guidance before departing for the Outer Battlefield 58. He actively guides the elders of the Qingyuan Clan, leading to the promotion of several Domain Lords and World Lords, and plans to send Grand Elders to Chaos City to mend their souls and increase their chances of becoming Immortals 120. His oversight extends to the Qingyuan Universe Kingdom, where he observes its development and strength, showing pride and satisfaction in its growth under leaders like Wei Lai 266.
Ziqi
Ziqi is Ye Muxuan's disciple and a talented individual who eventually becomes the leader of the Yan God Clan 412. Ye Muxuan demonstrates his role as a wise and responsible mentor by passing on the Yan God Halberd and the Origin Soul to Ziqi, entrusting him with significant power and leadership 412. This interaction highlights the passing of power and responsibility within the Yan God Clan, with Ye Muxuan guiding Ziqi towards his destiny 412.
Ming Yu
Ming Yu is a character with whom Ye Muxuan has a respectful and understanding relationship, particularly as Ming Yu approaches a significant breakthrough 266. Ye Muxuan visits Ming Yu during a critical stage of transformation, but he respects Ming Yu's space and does not interrupt his process, indicating a deep understanding of the delicate nature of cultivation breakthroughs 266. Ming Yu is nearing a breakthrough to become a Universe Master, and later, Universe Master Mingwu, possibly the same individual, goes into seclusion to advance to Chaos True God, showing dedication to his cultivation 266 343.
Universe Supreme Beings
Ye Muxuan interacts with the four Universe Supreme Beings of his race, demonstrating his wisdom and foresight in managing crucial resources and inheritances 343. He proposes a plan to distribute the Duan Donghe inheritance among them, which they accept, showing unity and a collective understanding of the race's needs 343. This interaction underscores a relationship of mutual respect and cooperation, where Ye Muxuan's leadership in resource management is acknowledged and supported by the highest-ranking members of his race 343.
Lian Feng
Lian Feng, also known as Venerable Silver Charm and later Master Yinmei, is Ye Muxuan's child and an important administrator of the Qingyuan Clan 315 438. During Ye Muxuan's prolonged periods of seclusion, Lian Feng presided over the clan's major affairs and acted with much of the authority of the clan leader 210. He later took responsibility for affairs in the Shadow Blade Holy Land Universe and proposed creating a sixth faction for their lineage within the Human Race. Ye Muxuan supported this initiative and rewarded the cultivation achievements of Yunhu Venerable and a newly discovered clan genius 480.
Qingyuan Clan
The Qingyuan Clan is a lineage that originated on a blue life planet and migrated to a Universe Secret Region after a life-or-death crisis hundreds of millions of years ago, which resulted in the fall of their Immortal-level leader 57. For generations, the clan's survival was maintained through continuous struggle, as the inherent defects in their souls made it nearly impossible for them to break through from World Lord to Immortal 57. After hundreds of millions of years, the clan, comprising three thousand tribes and hundreds of millions of members, finally appointed its first Clan Leader, Ye Muxuan, who was entrusted with the Clan Leader Token by Grand Elder Zhong Li 57. The clan's name, Qingyuan, was an oral instruction left by the first Grand Elder 57.

Themes and Character Analysis
Ye Muxuan's journey is characterized by several overarching themes that shape his actions and development. One prominent theme is Rebirth and Identity 2. Initially, Ye Muxuan awakens as a "newborn soul" inhabiting the body of Mu Xuan, having endured countless cycles of dreams spanning millions of years 2. This experience fundamentally alters his identity, making him distinct from the original Mu Xuan. While the original Mu Xuan was practical and adventurous, Ye Muxuan develops a cold, sharp heart and a preference for luxury and mental stimulation 2. This transformation raises questions about the continuity of self and how past experiences, even those in a dream-like state, can forge a new identity. His rebirth also implies a fresh start, allowing him to pursue different paths and priorities than his predecessor.
Another significant theme is Cultivation and Growth, which is central to the narrative 1 266. Ye Muxuan's entire existence is a testament to the pursuit of power and self-improvement. From his initial awakening, he meticulously organizes his spoils of war and sells them to the military, demonstrating a strategic approach to accumulating resources for his advancement 2. His rapid progress is consistently highlighted, such as when he quickly comprehends the Shadow Sweep diagram, significantly improving his understanding of Time and Wind Origin Laws, and plans to attempt Immortality 36. He is recognized as an extraordinary talent, with his achievements leading to increased resources and authority from the Virtual Universe Company 101. This theme extends to his clones and those under his care, such as Ming Yu nearing a breakthrough to Universe Master and Wei Lai steadily growing in strength 266. Ye Muxuan's dedication to honing his skills, creating secret techniques, and exploring new Universe Secret Regions underscores a relentless drive for personal and collective growth 101 169. Even his children are observed for their cultivation progress, with Ye Muxuan keeping a close eye on their development 161.
This growth later expands beyond individual combat capability. Ye Muxuan's research into bloodlines and self-propagating races leads to the creation of the Purple Flame Race, while also advancing his divine-power path to an 85,000-fold gene level 410. His attainment of a Chaos-level move shows that his pursuit has advanced from conventional cultivation through the ranks toward the power systems of higher civilizations 480.
The theme of Ambition and Potential is deeply intertwined with Ye Muxuan's character 118. His strategic decision to gestate clones using special lifeform remains, such as the Nine Nether Sea, Huang Ku, and Qingsui, showcases his foresight and grand aspirations 118. This ambition is recognized and supported by powerful figures like the Chaos City Lord and White Phoenix Palace Master, who provide him with resources and guidance, indicating their high expectations for him 118. Ye Muxuan's ultimate ambition is revealed to be transcending reincarnation and establishing a new Holy Land Universe, a goal he actively pursues through an ancient civilization's legacy 221. This pursuit demonstrates not only his immense ambition but also his confidence in achieving what others might deem impossible.
Consciousness and Willpower are presented as crucial factors in Ye Muxuan's success 48. When facing the Gatekeepers at Tongtian Mountain, he defeats them using his superior consciousness and willpower, overcoming their combined strength and illusions 48. This highlights that raw power alone is insufficient; mental fortitude and a strong will are equally, if not more, important in overcoming challenges in his world. His ability to resist the Snake Woman's illusions further emphasizes the strength of his consciousness 48.
Leadership and Responsibility emerge as Ye Muxuan matures 266. Initially, his focus is on personal growth, but he gradually takes on more leadership roles. He oversees the development of the Qingyuan Universe Kingdom, showing pride and satisfaction in its growth 266. He also meticulously checks on his clones' progress and makes arrangements for their tasks, demonstrating a responsible approach to their development 266. Furthermore, he returns to the Qianyan Star Sector to fulfill his promise to his clansmen, providing them with a better living environment and purchasing a World Lord quota for Zhong Li 52 58. He becomes the clan leader, promising resources and guidance to his Elders, showcasing his commitment to his family and tribe 58. This demonstrates a shift from purely individualistic pursuits to a broader sense of responsibility for those under his care.
This responsibility eventually encompasses the political future of his entire lineage. By supporting Lian Feng's plan to establish a sixth faction within the Human Race and rewarding promising cultivators, Ye Muxuan demonstrates that he regards the long-term influence and continuity of the Shadow Blade lineage as part of his duty 480.
The theme of Loyalty and Sacrifice is explored through the actions of others, which in turn affect Ye Muxuan's standing 89. The Winged Bird Race King's self-detonation to prevent the Shadow Blade King from obtaining a damaged Heavy Treasure exemplifies extreme loyalty and willingness to sacrifice for one's master 89. While this act is not Ye Muxuan's, his survival and subsequent collection of spoils contribute to his growing reputation and lead to discussions about his admission into the Hong Alliance, highlighting how such events can shape perceptions and recognition 89.
Materialism vs. Spiritualism is a theme introduced early in Ye Muxuan's rebirth 2. Unlike the original Mu Xuan, who was practical, Ye Muxuan develops a strong inclination towards luxury and mental stimulation 2. This is evident in his immediate order for a luxury drink and his later indifference to heavy treasures, instead seeking top-tier supreme treasures for excitement 2 161. While he uses wealth and resources to enhance his strength and status, as seen in his purchases of combat blades and armor, his ultimate goals transcend mere material accumulation, moving towards spiritual enlightenment and transcending reincarnation 52 221. This suggests a complex relationship with material possessions, where they are tools for advancement rather than ends in themselves, though he still appreciates their luxurious aspects.
Finally, Mentorship and Guidance play a crucial role in Ye Muxuan's development 78. His teacher, the White Phoenix Palace Master, provides him with advice on selecting subordinates and even gifts him a Supreme Treasure 169. Other powerful Immortals, such as Heavenly Feather King and Zhenyan King, offer guidance and express concern for his safety, particularly regarding the dangers of the Outer Battlefield 78. This network of support from his seniors helps Ye Muxuan navigate the complexities of his world and provides him with valuable insights and resources, fostering his growth and ensuring his continued progress. Even Ye Muxuan himself takes on a mentoring role, guiding his children Yan Tong and Qing Que in their cultivation 161.
