Fang Family

Biodata

Power Progression

Background & History

The Fang Family is a longevity clan whose inheritance spans tens of thousands of years. It was among the families that founded the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, giving it exceptional standing within the organization. 512 537

Its ancestral territory is Fangcun Mountain, a blessed land allegedly left behind by an ancient immortal. At the mountain’s foot, the family constructed Four Directions City, a vast settlement capable of housing several million people. 711

The clan maintains its influence through cultivation marriage alliances. Generations of intermarriage spread Fang bloodlines among affiliated families, including the Yu and Luo Families, creating a broad network of vassal forces across the Southern Heaven Continent. 648 691

The family cultivated a reputation for extreme retaliation against those who harmed its members. After Lin Fei killed Fang Han in a lawful Immortal Fighting Arena duel, the Fang Family joined the Dragon Abyss Dynasty in destroying the Mystic Heart Sect, intending to make an example of any force that defied it. 525 591

The Fang Family also placed many of its bloodline members in important Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance institutions, including the Inspection Division, Artifact Refining Repository, Golden Sparrow Terrace, and Misty Rain Tower. These members could provide the family with influence and conveniences even while formally serving the alliance. 676

Organization

Influence & Resources

• The Fang Family’s founding status grants it annual dividends from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, though its enormous population and number of cultivators make those resources thinly spread among ordinary members. 537
• Spirit artifacts are not standard equipment for its members; they are generally reserved for patriarchs or exceptional juniors. 537
• The family’s affiliated cultivation clans have served as vanguards, bait, informants, and military support during its conflicts. 648 902 1100
• Its marriage alliances tied the Fang Family to at least 137 Immortal Cultivation Families during the siege of Bliss Island. 902 903
• Four Directions City is protected by a defensive grand formation, while Fangcun Mountain possesses older immortal formations and restrictions that serve as the family’s ultimate refuge. 1125
• Following the Mountain Sea Alliance’s temporary dispersal, the Fang Family mobilized clan members below the Spirit Transformation Realm and affiliated marriage-alliance families as informants across the Southern Heaven and Heavenly Origin Continents. 1100
• Even after its senior ancestors’ deaths, the family retained sufficient foundations and treasures for Fang Xinghui to wield a high-grade immortal sword. 1302
• The family once possessed a Celestial Immortal ancestor, who killed an Earth Immortal and refined the latter’s skull into a resentment-corroding treasure. 906

Conflict with Lin Fei

Relations

• Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance — The Fang Family is one of its founding families and historically exercised major influence in Floating City, though its actions repeatedly brought it into conflict with the alliance’s rules and enforcement bodies. 512 684
• Dragon Abyss Dynasty — Cooperated with the Fang Family in the destruction of the Mystic Heart Sect. 591

• Luo Family — Intermarried with the Fang Family for generations; annihilated by Lin Fei’s Demonic Womb avatar, Long Aotian, and the Corpse Puppet Fang Ying. 691
• Mountain Sea Alliance — Principal enemy faction led by Lin Fei; their conflict escalated from assassination attempts to the siege of Bliss Island and later wars. 902 1061
• Great Flame Dynasty — Enemy state ruled by Lin Fei; the Fang Family later mobilized other longevity families to consider attacking it. 1117 1272
• Lin Family — The Fang Family investigated and targeted Lin Fei’s surviving descendants as part of its effort to force Lin Fei’s reappearance. 762 780 857

• Phoenix Family — An Earth Immortal incarnation of its ancestor appeared alongside the Dragon Family’s incarnation, forcing Fang Xinghui to retreat. 1302
• Other Longevity Aristocratic Families — Potential allies bound by shared interests, but divided over whether to support Fang-led retaliation against the Great Flame Dynasty. 1272

Later Developments

After Fang Shiyu, Fang Xiong, and Fang Wei were killed, Fang Xinghui declared an emergency and sought to preserve the family’s remaining strength. The loss of an Earth Immortal ancestor and two Human Immortals severely damaged the Fang Family’s prestige. 1123 1128

The family continued to seek revenge against Lin Fei and the Great Flame Dynasty, attempting to rally other Longevity Aristocratic Families through the Longevity Pact. 1272

Facing the Mountain Sea Alliance’s growing ability to forge immortal artifacts and refine immortal-grade pills, Fang Xinghui reluctantly allowed other Fang Family members to pursue membership through representatives, despite the family’s longstanding enmity with Lin Fei. 1322

Although Lin Fei continues to regard the Fang Family as a principal enemy and wishes to eliminate it, he has not yet launched a decisive campaign against it. Destroying a founding family of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance could provoke intervention by the alliance and other Longevity Aristocratic Families, so Lin Fei has deferred such a war until the Great Flame Dynasty and Mountain Sea Alliance possess greater strength. 1375
