Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

Lu Heng became a cultivator at nine years old, practicing the Five Spirits Chaos Art and developing the Azure Wood Body. He was already an alchemist at this stage, with Xuan-tier Wood- and Fire-attribute techniques. The Book of Destiny had appeared in his mind after he awakened memories of his previous life; Ya Fei’s early support helped him obtain the resources needed to awaken his physique. 2 3

He trained in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, where he fought magical beasts to improve his close-quarters combat and later spent five months refining pills and cultivating. During this period, he met Xiao Yi Xian and saved her team from a magical-beast attack. 28 33

After entering Jia Nan Academy, Lu Heng rapidly established himself among the Outer Academy’s strongest students through his alchemy, multi-attribute cultivation, and willingness to challenge stronger opponents. He became associated with Han Yue, Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, Yan Hao, and Lin Yan, providing pills in exchange for ingredients or sparring opportunities. 104 127

In the Inner Academy, his unusual fire affinity allowed him to neutralize Heart Fire, absorb fire poison, and draw energy from the Fallen Heart Flame. Su Qian consequently viewed him as a potential solution to the academy’s Fallen Heart Flame problem. 170 174

Lu Heng later traveled across the Jia Ma Empire, protected Qing Lin from the Heaven Snake Mansion, defeated the Amethyst Winged Lion King for its essence blood, and entered the Snake-People Tribe’s Holy City to pursue the Green Lotus Core Flame and resources for his spirit-body awakening. 264 295 302

He cooperated with Medusa during her evolution, refined pills using the Snake-People Tribe’s treasury, awakened the Small Five Elements Spirit Body, and entered the Dou Emperor realm. 315 317 321

After returning to Jia Nan Academy, Lu Heng continued extracting and refining Fallen Heart Flame energy while receiving guidance from the Skyfire Venerable through the Cold Soul Jade. His cultivation eventually reached peak Nine-Star Dou Emperor, allowing him to challenge the Dou Zong barrier. 408 423 435

Lu Heng broke through to Dou Zong shortly before Han Feng’s assault on Jia Nan Academy. His innate divine ability and Five Elements Divine Light evolved following the breakthrough, and he became an early eighth-grade alchemist. 439 443

He subsequently absorbed the Sea Heart Flame, revived Yao Tianhuo, defeated Mo Tianxing and looted the Black Emperor Sect’s treasury while sparing its surviving members, and collected the heavenly treasures needed to complete his Five Elements Spirit Body. 450 466 469 472

After the complete awakening of the Five Elements Spirit Body, Lu Heng advanced to Five-Star Dou Zong and departed for the Central Plains with Xiao Yi Xian, Qing Lin, Zi Yan, and Yao Tianhuo. 472 474

In Tianbei City, he reunited with Han Yue, overcame opposition from the Han Clan, and refined eighth-grade pills that drew Five-Colored Pill Lightning. After Zi Yan departed with Ancient Void Dragon expert Hei Qing to receive her clan inheritance, Lu Heng continued cultivating in the Han Clan’s rear courtyard. 479 480 486 488 493

A year and a half of seclusion brought Lu Heng to peak Nine-Star Dou Zong. He traveled to Saint Dan City, where the Pill Tower recognized his eighth-rank alchemy and made him a Purple-Gold Guest Elder. He used commissions and exchanges to acquire Five Elements treasures, deliberately delaying his Dou Zun breakthrough until he could secure a suitable Water-attribute treasure. 497 503 507 511 515

After Xuankong Zi obtained the required treasures, Lu Heng broke through to One-Star Dou Zun. Learning that Ice River Valley had attacked his allies in Tianbei City, he returned with Hei Qing, killed Ice Venerable, destroyed the valley’s leadership, and began collecting its resources. 517 526 530 536

Appearance

Lu Heng is described as a handsome youth with a lean, powerful physique formed through repeated body tempering. Despite his strength, he often presents himself in simple, understated clothing and conceals his aura. 107 108

• Often wears simple white robes. 108
• Has lean but clearly defined musculature, surpassing most adult men physically by age twelve. 107
• His body can develop a jade-like luster after intensive tempering. 186
• His eyes may display attribute-colored light when cultivating or using Dou Qi. 186 197
• Can manifest tri-elemental Dou Qi Armor in earth-yellow, cyan, and crimson. 107
• After awakening the complete Five Elements Spirit Body, his skin gained a subtle glass-like sheen from the fusion of five-element spiritual energy with his flesh. 474

Personality

Lu Heng is calm, self-assured, and difficult to intimidate. He remains composed before powerful figures such as Su Qian and Medusa, often speaking casually even when facing major threats. 175 306

He is pragmatic about strength and survival, willing to fight ruthlessly against hostile opponents but also willing to share resources, refine pills for allies, and protect those close to him. 33 130 185

His confidence can become provocative. He challenges stronger cultivators, treats dangerous cultivation resources as opportunities, and openly pursues ambitious goals such as acquiring Heavenly Flames and awakening his Five Elements physique. 109 228 302

Lu Heng is intensely driven in cultivation, repeatedly entering seclusion or exploiting dangerous energy sources to prepare for future threats. Even after reaching Dou Zong, he continued refining pills, absorbing pill lightning, and gathering heavenly treasures to strengthen his spirit body. 435 455 488

He prizes a stable cultivation foundation over immediate advancement and regards his own strength as more dependable than powerful allies. In Saint Dan City, he also avoided obligations that might compromise his independence. Against Ice River Valley’s leaders, he chose to eliminate those he believed could later seek revenge while allowing ordinary disciples to flee. 493 507 511 517 536
