Background & Origin
Jiang Yuan transmigrated into the Primordial World during the Era of Liches and Demons, not as a mighty god or descendant of a great power, but as a common human—a being of the Post-Heaven Realm, the lowest possible existence, equivalent to a mortal with no cultivation whatsoever 1. His origin was meager; he was the thirty-sixth-generation grandson of the human ancestor Suiren, his bloodline so diluted that he was born no different from any ordinary mortal 1. The Primordial World had no cultivation methods for the Post-Heaven Realm, leaving him utterly powerless. Almost immediately after arriving, he was swallowed whole by a Kun Fish while picking up seashells on a beach 1. However, a faint divine light from a jade disk he had picked up before transmigrating protected him from digestion. Inside the fish’s belly, he was drawn into a gray, hazy space where the jade disk floated—the Creation Jade Disk, the supreme treasure of enlightenment, the last remaining fragment of the original fifty pieces shattered when Pangu opened the heavens 1. With this treasure, Jiang Yuan understood that he possessed a cheat code to defy fate, even though his strength was far too low to unleash its full power 1.
Desperate Cultivation in the Kun Fish’s Belly: Burning his essence blood and lifespan, Jiang Yuan activated the Creation Jade Disk to create a basic cultivation method. He fell into an epiphany, synchronized his breathing with the Kun Fish, and absorbed its Immortal Origin, rapidly increasing his mana and reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man realm—a Heavenly Immortal ability—though his domain was limited 2. He then used the ancient Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method to raise his cultivation to the Pre‑Heaven Realm before leaving the fish 2.
Awakening the Human Ancestor Bloodline: After exiting the Kun Fish, Jiang Yuan learned from the Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals that he possessed a Sacred Dao Aura which attracted the Black Flood Dragon Mu Jiao. He returned to the human settlement and met Ancestor Sui, who had just created the Fire of Civilization, allowing Acquired Humans to cultivate. Jiang Yuan awakened his Human Ancestor Bloodline, gaining confidence that he could surpass Mu Jiao 7.
Discovery of the Creation Scripture: Inside the Creation Jade Disk, Jiang Yuan found the Creation Scripture, which allowed him to transform into any living being and gain their innate talents. He planned to shortcut mastery by consuming living beings to absorb their origins 5.
Refining Innate Runes and Breakthrough to Void Refinement: Over ten years, Jiang Yuan refined all 129,600 Innate Runes from Gods and Devils into his body. His body exploded and he entered the Void Refinement Realm, gaining the Blood Rebirth ability. He then used Merit and the Creation Jade Disk on a Daluo Perspective to forge a standard Blood Rebirth method for the Human Race 13.
Compilation of Knowledge and Founding of Currency: Jiang Yuan compiled the Primordial Spirit Herb Canon, mapped Human Race territory, and wrote the Book of Creation 37. He created a currency system based on Profound Yellow Grain, with five tiers (Profound Yellow Grain, Qi, Liquid, Crystal, Pill), and a measurement system with units Sui, Yuan, and Jiang Yuan 38. He promoted the grain strategically, using a grass ring on Lady Nuwa’s statue to control its reproduction and maintain secrecy 33 41.
Becoming a Disciple of Lady Nuwa: Lady Nuwa witnessed Jiang Yuan’s creation of the Human Race’s cultivation system and his actions aligning with her Great Dao. She took him as her disciple, granting him the Dao name Di Yuan, and allowed him to remain with the Human Race rather than withdrawing to her palace 35.
Breakthrough to Creation Heavenly Immortal: After several hundred years, Jiang Yuan discovered seven methods to break through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, including condensing Dharma Forms of Empress Wa, Emperor Xi, Ancestral Dragon, Innate Azure Emperor, Star Lord, Profound Yellow, and the previously forbidden Primordial Savage Dragon 42. He consumed Three Lights Divine Water, merged with the Emperor Xi Dharma Form, and became a Creation Heavenly Immortal 42.
Discovery of the Creation Jade Disk’s Restoration Path: While fighting the Primordial Savage Dragon, the Creation Jade Disk absorbed a trace of the Chaos Demon God’s power from the dragon’s remnant soul, showing signs of recovery. Jiang Yuan realized that devouring the power of Chaos Demon Gods (present in all Ancestors of Fierce Beasts) could slowly repair the disk, and he resolved to increase his efforts to condense Fierce Beast Dharma Forms for this purpose 46.
Power Progression
| Realm | Breakthrough Method | Key Techniques | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Post-Heaven Realm | The Blood Refining Ancestral Return Method: strengthen the Primordial Bloodline within the body step by step to return to one’s ancestral state. The breakthrough from Post-Heaven to Pre-Heaven occurs via the same method, requiring sufficient bloodline refinement. 2 | * Blood Refining Ancestral Return (cultivation method) | The earliest cultivation system in the Primordial World, practiced before Saint Taiqing passed down the Qi Refining Method. The ancestor one returns to varies by race. 2 |
| Pre-Heaven Realm | Refine Innate Runes taken from the vital energy of Gods and Devils into the body. The more runes refined, the greater harmony with heaven and earth and the higher potential. 13 | * Refining Innate Runes (e.g., Azure Dragon, Kun Fish, Star, Creation runes) 10 13 * Azure Dragon Vitality (derived from 36,000 runes) 10 |
Acquired Living Beings have 900 runes; Innate Living Beings 3,600; Innate True Spirits 10,800; Innate Gods and Devils 36,000; Innate Divine Beings 81,000; Pangu had 129,600. Jiang Yuan refined all 129,600 runes to advance. 10 13 |
| Void Refinement Realm | After refining all 129,600 Innate Runes, the body explodes and reforms, granting the Blood Rebirth ability. Breakthrough is achieved when the Pre-Heaven Realm cultivation reaches its limit and all runes are refined. 13 | * Blood Rebirth (dissolve and reform body at will) | Jiang Yuan created a technique to brand the 129,600 runes as hidden apertures in the human body, allowing future humans to obtain Blood Rebirth upon reaching Void Refinement. This uses merit and the Creation Jade Disk to forge the method. 13 14 |
| Unity of Heaven and Man (Heavenly Immortal ability) | Achieved by synchronizing breathing with a Kun Fish and absorbing its Immortal Origin, rapidly increasing mana and cultivation. This is a Heavenly Immortal ability, but domain is limited due to low cultivation. 2 | * Synchronized breathing absorption | Jiang Yuan used the Creation Jade Disk to enter an epiphany and create this method while inside a Kun Fish’s belly. It is not a permanent realm but a temporary ability. 2 |
| Heavenly Immortal (Creation Heavenly Immortal) | Condense an Innate Divine Being Dharma Form to pluck the Creation Dao Fruit. Seven breakthrough methods exist: condensing the Empress Wa, Ancestral Dragon, Innate Azure Emperor, Star Lord, Creation, Profound Yellow, or Primordial Savage Dragon Dharma Form. Requires corresponding essence blood, Three Lights Divine Water, or other resources. 42 44 47 | * Empress Wa Dharma Form (uses Three Lights Divine Water to strengthen Empress Wa bloodline) * Ancestral Dragon Dharma Form (requires Nine Sons Essence Blood to perfect the Nine Sons Incarnation, then smelt into one) * Innate Azure Emperor Dharma Form (condensed via compiling the Primordial Spirit Herb Canon or the Myriad Grass Incarnation) * Star Lord Dharma Form (requires drinking Three Lights Divine Water) * Creation Dharma Form (requires drinking Three Lights Divine Water) * Profound Yellow Dharma Form (requires Profound Yellow Liquid, Profound Yellow Crystal, and Profound Yellow Merit) * Primordial Savage Dragon Dharma Form (previously forbidden; a descendant of Chaos Demon Gods) |
The Heavenly Immortal Realm is divided into twelve heavens. Cultivators of the Creation Scripture must condense thirty-six Innate Living Being Dharma Images to reach perfection (three per heaven). Jiang Yuan condensed seven (Third Heaven) in 5,000 years (50 years external) using time acceleration. 47 48 |
| First Heaven – Third Heaven of Heavenly Immortal | Successively condense Dharma Forms after the initial breakthrough. Each heaven corresponds to exactly three Dharma Images. 48 | * Condensing Dharma Forms in sequence (e.g., Emperor Xi → Ancestral Dragon → Azure Emperor → Star Lord → Creation → Profound Yellow) | Jiang Yuan condensed all seven Dharma Forms in one seclusion. Combat power may far exceed realm due to excessive parameters. 44 47 48 |
| Creation Taiyi Realm | To break through from Creation Heavenly Immortal to Creation Taiyi, one must condense thirty-six incarnations. 36 | * Condensing incarnations (specific methods not detailed in context) | Fuxi (through Lady Nuwa’s guidance) provided this information to Jiang Yuan. 36 |
| Creation Daluo Realm | To break through from Creation Taiyi to Creation Daluo, one must condense one hundred and eight incarnations. 36 | * Condensing incarnations (specific methods not detailed) | – |
| Creation Quasi-Saint Realm | To break through from Creation Daluo to Creation Quasi-Saint, one must condense three hundred and sixty incarnations. 36 | * Condensing incarnations (specific methods not detailed) | – |
| Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal (Origin) | Requires a complete Chaos Demon God Mark derived from the Jade Plate of Creation. This mark can be obtained by killing enough fierce beasts or reviving and devouring their ancestors’ lingering thoughts. With the mark, one can derive the Qi of the Great Dao, which grants indestructibility. 47 | * Absorbing Chaos Demon God Mark * Deriving Qi of the Great Dao |
Jiang Yuan absorbed a faint mark from the Savage Dragon but it was insufficient. The Qi of the Great Dao is a life-saving power that makes one immortal and indestructible. 47 |
Abilities & Skills
Blood Rebirth
Blood Rebirth is an innate ability attained upon reaching the Void Refinement Realm, transforming the body into 129,600 indestructible blood droplets. As long as a single droplet remains, the practitioner can fully reform their body, making them effectively immortal at that realm. The number of droplets can increase with further cultivation, potentially becoming infinite 13. Jiang Yuan refined all 129,600 Innate Runes into his body to achieve this ability, using Merit to prevent his body from shattering during the process 13. He later modified the technique into a system of 129,600 hidden apertures within the human body, so that future Human Race members could unlock Blood Rebirth by opening all apertures upon reaching the Void Refinement Realm 14. To bestow this ability on the entire race, Jiang Yuan traced his bloodline back to Lady Nuwa, the source of the Human bloodline, and gained her permission to brand Blood Rebirth as an innate divine power for all humans 48.
- Applications: Combat regeneration – can survive complete bodily destruction; future generations automatically inherit the ability without separate study; potential for true immortality if droplet count becomes infinite.
- Limitations: At initial stage, limited to exactly 129,600 droplets; requires prior refinement of all Innate Runes or opening of all apertures; bestowing it on others requires Heavenly Immortal cultivation and access to the bloodline source.
- Examples: Jiang Yuan's body exploded upon breakthrough and he reformed instantly from 129,600 blood droplets 13; he used the Creation Jade Disk and Merit to deduce a safe method for the Human Race 13; Lady Nuwa approved the branding of Blood Rebirth as an innate divine power after Jiang Yuan traced his bloodline 48.
Innate Divine Being Dharma Forms
As a Creation Heavenly Immortal, Jiang Yuan can condense multiple Innate Divine Being Dharma Forms, each granting the full capabilities of that being. He cultivated seven Dharma Forms: Empress Wa, Emperor Xi, Ancestral Dragon, Star Lord, Creation, Azure Emperor, and Profound Yellow 42 47. By merging with a Dharma Form, he temporarily becomes a true Innate Divine Being, possessing their power but limited by his cultivation realm. Without combat, he can maintain this state for a hundred years; during battle, duration varies from a hundred years down to one hour depending on intensity 42. The Creation Scripture also allows him to transform into any creature below the level of Innate Gods and Devils, indistinguishable even to divine abilities 42.
- Applications: Gaining the exact powers of specific Innate Divine Beings (e.g., Wood Emperor Azure Emperor's control over vegetation 47); enhancing combat strength far beyond his realm; using transformation as a versatile disguise and tactical asset.
- Limitations: Cannot maintain Innate Divine Being state indefinitely; cannot transform into Innate Gods and Devils until he reaches the Creation Taiyi realm; each Dharma Form requires specific resources (e.g., Three Lights Divine Water for Star Lord, Profound Yellow Liquid for Profound Yellow 42).
- Examples: Merged with Emperor Xi Dharma Form to become a Creation Heavenly Immortal 42; condensed the Azure Emperor Dharma Form after consuming Three Lights Divine Water 47; used Emperor Xi and Ancestral Dragon Dharma Images to fight the Primordial Savage Dragon 46.
Daluo Perspective
Using Merit to activate the Creation Jade Disk, Jiang Yuan can temporarily attain a Daluo (Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal) perspective, allowing him to perceive the mysteries of heaven and earth as if he were at that supreme level. This state exponentially increases his comprehension and ability to create techniques, effectively giving him the insight of a being nearly omnipotent except for creating something from nothing 13.
- Applications: Creating new cultivation methods (e.g., the safe version of Blood Rebirth for the Human Race); understanding complex Dao principles and runes; overcoming the limitations of his own cultivation realm when innovating.
- Limitations: Requires a vast amount of Merit to activate; temporary, ending when the Merit is consumed; he must have enough Merit in reserve (he had accumulated Merit from teaching characters to the Human Race over ten years) 13.
- Examples: Used Daluo Perspective to deduce how to transform Blood Rebirth into a standard ability for the Human Race at Void Refinement Realm 13; the state gave him a trial experience of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal 13.
Blood Refining Ancestral Return
An ancient method that allows a cultivator to burn their essence blood and lifespan to forcefully increase their mana and cultivation, while also awakening deeper bloodline potentials. Jiang Yuan used this method while trapped in a Kun Fish's belly to break through to the Pre-Heaven Realm and awaken his Innate God-Devil bloodlines. The method is based on the Human Race's exceptional bloodline, making it particularly suitable for them 2 3.
- Applications: Rapid breakthrough when facing life-threatening situations; awakening hidden bloodline powers; gaining power by sacrificing lifespan and essence blood.
- Limitations: Consumes lifespan and essence blood, which can be lethal if overused; limited by ancestral lineage – one cannot awaken a bloodline stronger than one's ancestors; planned to be replaced by the Qi Refining Method once the Three Pure Ones attain sainthood 2 3.
- Examples: Jiang Yuan burned essence blood and lifespan to activate the Creation Jade Disk, leading to an epiphany and syncing with the Kun Fish's breathing 2; he used the method to break through to Pre-Heaven Realm and awaken the Human Ancestor bloodline 3.
Tracing the Source with Blood
A technique used by Jiang Yuan, after reaching Heavenly Immortal, to trace his bloodline backward through all ancestors to the origin – Lady Nuwa, the creator of the Human Race. This allows him to communicate with the source of the bloodline and request permission to bestow innate divine powers or techniques upon the entire race. Ancestor Sui assisted him in tracing beyond his immediate ancestors to reach Lady Nuwa 48.
- Applications: Bestowing innate divine powers (like Blood Rebirth) on all members of the Human Race; gaining the approval of the bloodline source; transforming personal techniques into racial inheritance.
- Limitations: Requires at least Heavenly Immortal cultivation; unable to reach the source on his own – needed Ancestor Sui's help (a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal) to trace to Lady Nuwa; only works within the same bloodline lineage.
- Examples: Jiang Yuan traced his bloodline, met Heavenly Immortal ancestors, then with Ancestor Sui's aid reached Lady Nuwa 48; he knelt before Lady Nuwa and presented the Blood Rebirth technique, which she approved and allowed to be branded as an innate divine power 48.
Treasures & Artifacts
Creation Jade Disk (Jade Plate of Creation): The last remaining fragment of the original fifty-piece supreme treasure, which served as the carrier of the Great Dao and was destroyed by Chaos Demon Gods when Pangu opened the heavens. This single piece, lost for ages, was picked up by Jiang Yuan before his transmigration and carried him across time 1. It is a supreme treasure of creation, equivalent in rank to one-thirty-sixth of the full set (the thirty-six pieces used by Dao Ancestor Hongjun) 1. Its only function is assisting in enlightenment—it has no offensive or defensive power—but under its blessing, any cultivator can reach the pinnacle of the world 1. The disk can be gradually repaired by devouring the Power of Chaos Demon Gods, as demonstrated when it absorbed a trace from the Primordial Savage Dragon’s remnant soul 46.
Myriad Star Pot (Demon Refining Pot predecessor): A top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, originally one of the seven innate gourds grown on the Innate Gourd Vine of Mount Buzhou. It was plucked and refined by Lady Nuwa alongside the essence of the sun, moon, and stars for ten thousand millennia 36. Its primary functions are to capture enemies, shield its user from harm, and aid cultivation by condensing the Three Lights Divine Water—one of the ten great Innate Divine Waters 36 42. It also possesses the power to absorb all things, and by refining demons it can grow stronger, eventually evolving into the Demon Refining Pot 36 46. Lady Nuwa bestowed this treasure upon Jiang Yuan as his disciple 36.
Writing Brush of Creation: One of two lower-grade Acquired Merit Spirit Treasures formed from the merit generated when Jiang Yuan and Ancestor Sui created the Pictographic Script—the other being the Book of Creation 12. It was later promoted to a high-grade Postnatal Merit Spirit Treasure after Jiang Yuan compiled the Primordial Spirit Herb Canon 37. Its primary function is as a writing instrument used to record and compile history, knowledge, and books on the Character Creation Diagram; it endows the brush with the characteristics of a “History Brush,” where the achievements of ages are written by it 19. In combat, the brush’s tip can be used as a blade with the power to sever time 46. Together with the Character Creation Diagram, it is destined to become the Human Emperor’s Brush 19 30.
Character Creation Diagram (also called Book of Creation): The second lower-grade Acquired Merit Spirit Treasure formed at the same time as the Writing Brush of Creation, later promoted to high-grade Postnatal Merit Spirit Treasure 12 37. It serves as a repository for characters, paper, and recorded knowledge—history books, maps, agricultural texts, and the Primordial Spirit Herb Canon are all written upon it 19 30. The diagram can also be used defensively, manifesting the phantom of the River of Time and Space to slow opponents 46. Its potential is to house all the accumulated civilization of the Human Race and ascend to become the Earth Emperor’s Book 19 30.
Earth Emperor’s Book and Human Emperor’s Brush (conceptual set): The envisioned final forms of the Character Creation Diagram and Writing Brush of Creation, respectively. Their origin lies in Jiang Yuan’s plan to compile all human knowledge—history, spirit herbs, world maps, agriculture, husbandry—into a single great record 19 30. Rank: They are currently high-grade Postnatal Merit Spirit Treasures, but if the set becomes ubiquitous among all living beings, allowing real-time communication and eternal recording of all exchanges, they could ascend to Innate Supreme Treasures 38. Their primary function would be to record and inherit all knowledge in the Primordial World, with every being possessing a copy that transcends spatial limitations 38.
Mysterious Yellow Silk Daoist Robe: A Merit Spirit Treasure created when Jiang Yuan shared his ideas on weaving with animal fur and plant fibers with Ancestor Zi, who then combined their efforts to weave the Mysterious Yellow Silk 18. It is a protective robe gifted to Jiang Yuan by Ancestor Zi. Its primary function is defense against harm, and it is considered a merit spirit treasure whose power accumulates over time 18.
Notable Achievements
Creation of the Pictographic Script (Chapter 11-12): Jiang Yuan collaborated with Ancestor Sui to develop the first system of writing for the Human Race—a set of 108 pictographic characters. This breakthrough allowed for the simple and accurate recording of knowledge, replacing primitive knot-tying. The script’s creation triggered the descent of Merit Golden Light, forming the Writing Brush of Creation and the Book of Creation as lower-grade Acquired Merit Spirit Treasures. The script enabled the masses to learn and pass down wisdom, dramatically advancing human civilization and becoming a foundation for later achievements.
Papermaking (Chapter 15): After a decade of experimentation, one of Jiang Yuan’s students successfully produced the first sheet of Spirit Paper in the Primordial World. This invention overcame the inconvenience of jade or stone tablets for recording text, making knowledge far more accessible and portable. The paper was imbued with spiritual energy and earned Golden Lotuses of Merit upon completion. The Human Race granted the papermakers the surname “Paper” to honor their achievement, and the innovation became a valuable trade good that attracted other races, boosting the Human Race’s influence and wealth.
Compilation of the History of the Human Race (Chapter 19-20): Using the memories of the Three Ancestors, Jiang Yuan wrote a comprehensive chronicle of the Human Race, starting from Nüwa’s creation of humanity to the present. The completed work, recorded on the Character Creation Diagram, caused Profound Yellow Merit to descend and caused the River of Time and Space to ripple, granting the history the power to alter time. The compilation elevated the Character Creation Diagram to a mid-grade acquired treasure and laid the groundwork for the Human Race’s cultural identity and knowledge legacy.
Domestication of Foxtail Grass and Creation of the Profound Yellow Grain (Chapter 31-33): Over a hundred years of painstaking cultivation, using Breathing Soil, accelerated time on the Character Creation Diagram, and large amounts of merit, Jiang Yuan successfully transformed wild foxtail grass into the Profound Yellow Grain—a meritorious crop that absorbed and purified Baleful Intent Qi. The grain could be refined into Profound Yellow Qi, a versatile resource usable for cultivation, alchemy, artifact forging, and healing. This achievement earned merit from the Heavenly Dao and, more importantly, provided the foundation for a universal currency, as Profound Yellow Qi was coveted by all races. Jiang Yuan also controlled the seeds to ensure that only the Human Race could reproduce them, securing a long-term strategic advantage.
Compilation of the Primordial Spirit Herb Canon and the Book of Creation (Chapter 37): As part of his broader effort to record knowledge, Jiang Yuan completed an initial version of the Primordial Spirit Herb Canon—a compendium of spirit herbs—and wrote the Book of Creation, which contained his insights on biological genetics, cultivation, and hybridization. The latter was kept as a secret transmission of the Human Race, triggering Lady Nüwa to manifest and accept Jiang Yuan as her disciple. These books caused the Character Creation Diagram and the Writing Brush of Creation to advance to high-grade Postnatal Merit Spirit Treasures, enhancing their power and the Human Race’s capacity for research.
Establishment of the Currency and Measurement Systems (Chapter 38): Recognizing the potential of the Profound Yellow Grain, Jiang Yuan formally established a five-tier currency system based on its refined forms: Profound Yellow Grain (for the Pre-Heaven Realm), Profound Yellow Qi (Void Refinement), Profound Yellow Liquid (Heavenly Immortal), Profound Yellow Crystal (Primordial Unity Golden Immortal), and Profound Yellow Pill (Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal). He simultaneously created a standardized measurement system using the first ear of grain as the basic unit (Sui), with Yuan and Jiang Yuan as higher units. These systems, recorded in the History of the Human Race, enhanced the power of his treasures and provided the framework for trade and economic development across the Primordial World.
Creation of the First Profound Yellow Pill (Chapter 39): By refining a massive amount of Profound Yellow Grain, Jiang Yuan produced the first Profound Yellow Pill in the Primordial World. This pill was endowed with special power by the Heavenly Dao; a cultivator at the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm who refined it would increase their chance of attaining the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm by at least forty percent. Jiang Yuan presented this pill to Ancestor Sui to accelerate his cultivation, demonstrating the tangible benefits of the currency system and strengthening the leadership of the Human Race.
Relationships
Ancestor Sui
Jiang Yuan’s relationship with Ancestor Sui is one of deepening mutual respect, guidance, and shared ambition for the Human Race. From their first meeting, Ancestor Sui recognizes Jiang Yuan’s unusual path as an Acquired Living Being who cultivated without the Fire of Civilization, and he quickly values the young man’s wisdom and contributions 7 8. Their bond evolves from mentor‑and‑protégé into a partnership where Jiang Yuan’s future knowledge and strategic thinking complement Ancestor Sui’s experience and power.
- Jiang Yuan first meets Ancestor Sui after returning to the human settlement; Ancestor Sui has just created the Fire of Civilization, allowing Acquired Humans to cultivate 7.
- Ancestor Sui studies Jiang Yuan’s Breathing Method and finds it complementary to his own Torch Method; he implants a torch in Jiang Yuan, demonstrating its refining effect 8.
- When Jiang Yuan proposes creating a simple writing system for knowledge preservation, Ancestor Sui initially misunderstands but then has an epiphany and decides to use pictographs, collaborating with the entire clan 11.
- Together they create the Pictographic Script, earning Merit Golden Light and forming the Writing Brush of Creation and the Book of Creation; Ancestor Sui guides Jiang Yuan through the process 12.
- Jiang Yuan gives Ancestor Sui the Profound Yellow Pill to accelerate his cultivation, and Ancestor Sui entrusts Jiang Yuan with leading the Human Race while he enters seclusion 39 40.
- When Jiang Yuan reveals he is Lady Nuwa’s disciple, Ancestor Sui is overjoyed and places even greater trust in him 40.
- They strategize together after the Demon Race’s invitation, with Jiang Yuan advising caution and Ancestor Sui showing decisiveness in following that counsel 26.
- Ancestor Sui helps Jiang Yuan trace the Human Race’s bloodline to Lady Nuwa when Jiang Yuan creates the Blood Rebirth technique 48.
Xuanshan Clan
Xuanshan Clan, a direct‑line ancestor of Jiang Yuan, serves as a trusted confidant and a practical intermediary in Jiang Yuan’s dealings with the Dragon Race. Though initially cautious about Jiang Yuan’s bold plans, he consistently supports him and provides insight into the motives of other powerful beings.
- Xuanshan Clan explains why Mu Jiao desires Jiang Yuan’s Sacred Dao Aura, warning him to stay away from the sea 7.
- He takes Jiang Yuan to meet Ancestor Sui, believing Jiang Yuan’s unusual situation requires the ancestor’s judgment 7.
- When Jiang Yuan needs the Nine Sons’ Essence Blood, Xuanshan Clan initially hesitates but eventually agrees to act as a broker, convinced by Jiang Yuan’s reasoning and promise of a fee 22.
- Xuanshan Clan recognizes that Jiang Yuan has Ancestor Sui’s protection and therefore cannot lose against Mu Jiao, reassuring himself that he can safely help Jiang Yuan 24.
- He provides Jiang Yuan with insight into Mu Jiao’s character, calling him greedy and noting that once greed arises, actions become uncontrollable 24.
Mu Jiao
Mu Jiao, an Innate True Spirit flood dragon, views Jiang Yuan primarily as a resource—a “Exotic Fruit” whose Sacred Dao Aura can enable his transformation into an Azure Dragon. Their relationship is a careful game of deception, with each trying to manipulate the other while maintaining a polite facade.
- Mu Jiao visits the Xuanshan Clan seeking information about Jiang Yuan, intending to lure him away from the Human Race to control his cultivation progress 23.
- Jiang Yuan invites Mu Jiao in for a mutual assessment, and they exchange polite greetings while harboring hidden agendas 23.
- Mu Jiao offers to lend Jiang Yuan resources to break through to Heavenly Immortal, but Jiang Yuan deflects by invoking Ancestor Sui’s decree that he cannot leave the Human Race 23.
- Jiang Yuan asks Mu Jiao to supply the Nine Sons’ Essence Blood, and Mu Jiao eagerly agrees, believing he is securing his future meal; Jiang Yuan later remarks that Mu Jiao is more invested than he is because he already considers Jiang Yuan his possession 23 24.
- The conflict escalates when Jiang Yuan discovers Mu Jiao has been eating humans; Mu Jiao boasts about the cultivation benefits, provoking Jiang Yuan to capture him using the Ancestral Dragon Dharma Image 50.
- When captured, Mu Jiao’s initial confidence collapses into terror; he pleads for help from his father, Mu Longbo 50.
Lady Nuwa
Lady Nuwa is Jiang Yuan’s master, who takes him as her disciple after witnessing his alignment with her Great Dao. She provides him with a powerful treasure, a new Daoist name, and strategic guidance, while treating him with unusual warmth for a Saint.
- Lady Nuwa manifests her will when Jiang Yuan apologizes for using her majesty; she praises his selective breeding method and broadens her own understanding of the Path of Creation because of his work 34.
- She decides to take Jiang Yuan as her disciple to repay the karmic debt created by his contributions to the Human Race; he declines to live in the Wa Imperial Palace due to his responsibilities, and she agrees, allowing him to stay among his people 35.

- She instructs him to seek guidance from Emperor Xi (Fuxi) in the Heavenly Court during her seclusion, particularly when he needs to perfect his cultivation 36.
- When Jiang Yuan traces the Human Race’s bloodline and presents his Blood Rebirth technique, he kneels respectfully and asks her approval to pass it on as an innate divine power; she examines it and grants permission 48.
Mu Longbo
Mu Longbo, the father of Mu Jiao, appears only at the moment of his son’s capture. His relationship with Jiang Yuan is defined by shock and the immediate recognition of a power imbalance he cannot overcome.
- Mu Longbo arrives to find his son held helplessly in Jiang Yuan’s hand; he senses danger and dares not act, realizing that Jiang Yuan possesses great treasures and is no ordinary cultivator 50.
- Jiang Yuan states his identity as Di Yuan, a disciple of Lady Nuwa, and explains that Mu Jiao sought his bloodline; both Mu Longbo and Mu Jiao are stunned by this revelation 50.
Ancestor Zi
Ancestor Zi, one of the Three Ancestors of the Human Race, works alongside Jiang Yuan in crafting the Mysterious Yellow Silk, demonstrating a relationship of mutual respect, cooperation, and trust.
