Background / History

Su Yun began as an outer sect disciple of the Mystic Blade Sect, where he discovered that his cultivation techniques could cultivate automatically. His first breakthrough to the Body Refining Realm came in less than a day, despite his aptitude previously being considered mediocre. He chose the Human Grade High Tier Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade and the Black Origin Blade from the sect's Weapon Pavilion. 2

After reaching the third stage of Body Refining, Su Yun entered the Outer Sect Back Mountain to hunt demonic beasts. The bloodshed accelerated his blade technique's development, allowing him to raise the Extreme Shadow Fiend Blade from Minor Accomplishment to proficiency after slaying more than twenty beasts. 3

He returned to the Su Estate when the family's trade route was threatened by Black Cloud Stronghold. After preparing with medicinal resources supplied by Xu Ling, Su Yun escorted the caravan, destroyed the stronghold, and killed its master, Hei Sanjue. The route was reopened, and Su Yun later brought the Little Daoist Child Su Ling into the estate's protection. 6 9 13

His rise within the Mystic Blade Sect accelerated through missions, combat, and repeated breakthroughs. He completed the Flower-Plucking Sword Lord mission, earned ten thousand contribution points, joined Chen Qingxue's Demon Sect stronghold expedition, and received 300,000 contribution points for his contributions against demon cultivators. 22 23 28

Su Yun became a dominant figure in successive disciple competitions. He defeated Li Feng, Mu Yang, Ye Xiao, and Sword Child Chihai, ultimately winning the Imperial Grand Ceremony. The Great Yun Heaven Overseer then conveyed an imperial decree granting him the title Marquis of Absolute Blade. 58 60 99 102

As Chief Commandant, Su Yun led the Cloud Firmament Army against evil cultivators and the Evil Poison Sect. His battlefield killings developed the Origin Blade True Dragon Map and drew increasing attention from major sects and imperial powers. 73 80

Within the Cloud Sky Secret Realm, he killed multiple Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, defeated Ye Xiao again, fought the Golden-Patterned Colorful Dragon, and secured valuable resources. After later entering the Spirit Platform Realm, he became a principal target of the Heavenly Sword Sect and other hostile factions. 107 108 114 115 125 142
