Background

Fang Zhenge is one of the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect's nine True Inheritors, ranked fourth, and serves as the leading disciple of Spirit Void Peak. By the time Jiang Che enters the True Disciple Candidate circle, Fang has already reached a high stage of the Complete Truth Realm and commands immense prestige among the peak's inner disciples 254 255.

As Spirit Void Peak's eldest senior brother, he manages its candidate gatherings, supports promising juniors, and protects the lineage's interests against rival peaks. He regards the struggle for True Disciple seats as crucial to Spirit Void Peak's influence and resource security 260 279 353.

Appearance

Fang Zhenge is a handsome cultivator with deep, starry eyes that can flash with sharp, electric intensity. He commonly wears purple-gold Daoist robes and carries an imposing, transcendent pressure befitting a high-level Complete Truth Realm expert 254 255.

• Purple-gold Daoist robes associated with his status as the Fourth True Disciple 255.
• Calm, dignified bearing; often stands with his hands behind his back 272 339.
• His presence can make lower-realm cultivators feel as though their souls are being suppressed 254 255.

Personality

Fang Zhenge is composed, pragmatic, and generous with cultivation knowledge. He does not put on airs before True Disciple Candidates, instead explaining advanced principles in detail and offering direct, practical advice on cultivation, combat, resources, and the Demon-Suppressing Tower 255 276.

He is deeply invested in Spirit Void Peak's future. Fang is willing to commit rare resources to candidates with fighting spirit, but judges Dao heart as more important than temporary defeat; after Chu Yun loses confidence before Cao Ge, Fang concludes that fear has effectively ruined his prospects 260 262.

Though initially concerned by Jiang Che's rapid rise, Fang ultimately shows no jealousy. He becomes increasingly proud of Jiang Che, treats him more like a peer as his strength grows, and is relieved that the burden of defending Spirit Void Peak no longer rests on him alone 273 353 414.

Abilities & Skills

Complete Truth Realm Cultivation

Fang is a high-stage Complete Truth Realm cultivator whose aura far surpasses that of True Person Realm disciples 254 255.

• His Divine Sense is sharp enough to identify Jiang Che's hundredfold gravity field by observing its effects from outside the arena 273.
• He possesses extensive knowledge of the transition from True Person to Complete Truth, including the “Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown” of essence, qi, and spirit 255.
• He recognizes the risks of challenging opponents across major realms and consistently urges Jiang Che to respect the gap created by Laws and cultivation stages 314 336.

Purple Extreme Void Domain

Fang can manifest the Purple Extreme Void Domain, a purple field spanning roughly one hundred zhang around him 339.

• The Domain turns the surrounding space viscous and restrictive, severely impeding an opponent's movement 339.
• It stopped Jiang Che's full-power normal-state charge, despite that strike being capable of killing an ordinary Second Stage Complete Truth practitioner 339.
• Fang can use the technique as a controlled sparring measure rather than simply overwhelming weaker opponents 339.

Purple Extreme Void

Fang wields a law-condensed sword technique called Purple Extreme Void 369.

• He formed a massive sword from pure Laws and pierced a Third-Order Giant Spirit War God's skull 369.
• His strike complemented Jiang Che's attacks during their frontline operation, killing the enemy in fewer than three breaths 369.

Cultivation Guidance

Fang's cultivation insights are refined for the resource-poor Age of Dharma Decline, emphasizing efficient use of every fraction of True Qi and Divine Sense 255.

• Instructs candidates on Demon-Suppressing Tower tactics and Complete Truth breakthroughs 255.
• Identified that Jiang Che's gravity field was powerful but wasteful, then explained how to condense gravity into lines for lower consumption and greater lethality 276.
• Advised Jiang Che to integrate beast-soul instincts into his combat intuition rather than reserve them only for decisive attacks 276.
• Provided Jiang Che with a map and operational guidance for the True Beast Secret Realm, including its three-day limit, exit marker, True Beast ranks, and threat from competing factions 338.

Relationships

• Jiang Che — Junior brother, protégé, and eventually a trusted peer. Fang first recognizes Jiang's potential among the candidates, guides his cultivation, defends his interests, and comes to see him as Spirit Void Peak's future standard-bearer 260 273 276 353 414.
• Daoist Wuwei — Master and Spirit Void Peak's Vein Master. Fang acts in accordance with his master's interests while helping cultivate the peak's next generation of True Disciples 284 318 353.
• Chu Yun — Spirit Void Peak True Disciple Candidate. Fang gives him a Mystic Origin Creation Pill to challenge Cao Ge, but later judges that Chu Yun's loss of fighting spirit has undermined his future 260 262.
• Luo Qinghan — Fellow Spirit Void Peak disciple and expedition companion. They travel with Jiang Che and Suying into the True Beast Secret Realm and later serve together at Black Wind Pass 339 369 406.
• Suying — Fellow Spirit Void Peak disciple and expedition companion. Fang works alongside her during the True Beast Secret Realm expedition and the Great Yan warfront campaign 339 369 406.
• Shen Yanjun — Rival True Disciple from Heaven-Slaying Peak. Fang openly opposes Shen's attempt to accuse Jiang Che of being a Great Yan infiltrator 375.
• Cao Ge — Ninth True Disciple of Heaven-Slaying Peak and a political opponent to Spirit Void Peak's candidates. Fang seeks to prevent Cao from indefinitely avoiding challenges and supports contenders seeking his seat 255 260.

Story Role / Major Arcs

True Disciple Candidate Gatherings

Fang presides over Spirit Void Peak's monthly gatherings for True Disciple Candidates. He explains sect rules surrounding Cao Ge's injury exemption, warns that Cao is attempting to reach the Perfect Truth Realm, and shares practical cultivation insights that greatly benefit Jiang Che 255.

He later gives Chu Yun a scarce Mystic Origin Creation Pill to improve his chances against Cao Ge, hoping to strengthen Spirit Void Peak's position in the contest for True Disciple seats 260.

Recognition of Jiang Che

Fang praises Jiang Che after he defeats Ji Lingfeng across realms, correctly identifies the hundredfold gravity field used in the battle, and publicly calls him a “fine Jiang Che” 273. He subsequently provides detailed advice on refining Jiang's gravity manipulation and beast-soul combat methods 276.

When Jiang Che clears the fortieth floor of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, Fang delivers a box of peak True Person Realm breakthrough resources from Spirit Void Peak's private treasury 282.

Rise of the Ninth True Disciple

After Jiang Che defeats Cao Ge, Fang explains the privileges and responsibilities attached to the Ninth True Disciple position, including ownership of Crimson Firmament Peak 287. He also outlines the Myriad Phenomena Dao Sect's True Disciple hierarchy and warns Jiang Che about Shen Yanjun's scheming nature 287.

Fang assists Jiang Che in investigating the sabotage of Song Yuan's appointment, although he determines that the replacement was procedurally legitimate and cannot be overturned directly 279.

True Beast Secret Realm

Fang encourages Jiang Che to challenge the Demon-Suppressing Tower for Law comprehension before entering the True Beast Secret Realm 334. He later provides the secret realm's map and safety briefing, then travels there with Jiang Che, Suying, and Luo Qinghan 338 339.

Fang fails to emerge with the first group exiting the realm, causing his companions to fear the worst. He eventually returns badly injured, with blood-soaked robes and severe exhaustion 347 348.

War Against the Great Yan Kingdom

Fang joins Jiang Che, Luo Qinghan, and Suying at Black Wind Pass Camp. The group scouts the frontline, confronts schemes involving Shen Yanjun, and undertakes operations against Great Yan forces 369 375.

During an assault on an enemy camp, Fang uses Purple Extreme Void to help kill a Third-Order Giant Spirit War God. He and the others later witness Jiang Che kill the Half-Step Grandmaster Yin Youxuan, leaving them increasingly awestruck by Jiang's strength 369 380.

Black Demon Calamity

During the Black Demon Calamity, Fang expresses pride rather than envy at Jiang Che's extraordinary growth. He views Jiang as a source of hope for the sect and remains confident that his junior brother can survive even when Jiang's whereabouts become unknown for over a year 406 414.
