Background

Xiao Ze spent three years stalled at the first stage of Dou Qi, drawing the Xiao Family elders' contempt and placing his cultivation resources at risk. His fortunes reversed when he bound the Xiao Xuan Panel System, linked to the Xiao Clan ancestor Xiao Xuan. The panel granted him Xiao Xuan's exceptional cultivation talent and issued tasks with direct cultivation rewards. 1 2

He transmigrated early enough to alter several established relationships and opportunities. He nurtured Xiao Xun'er's meridians and bones before Xiao Yan could do so, becoming the person to whom she was closest. He also took possession of Xiao Yan's Storage Ring and encountered Yao Chen, diverting the latter's attention from Xiao Yan to himself. 2 3 5 6

Xiao Ze intends to restore the Xiao Clan's former glory in the Central Plains and believes the clan must reclaim what the Ancient Clan took from it. 3 21

Personality

Xiao Ze is composed and detached under pressure. When the Xiao Family elders disparage him or later reverse their attitude to praise him, he remains largely unmoved. 2 6 26

He is confident in the advantages granted by the Xiao Xuan Panel and frequently measures his own advancement against Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran, and other peers. His confidence is accompanied by long-term ambition: strengthening the Xiao Family, protecting Xiao Zhan, and ultimately restoring the clan's position. 3 7 19 21

Despite his calculating pursuit of system tasks and opportunities, he is protective of those he values. He gives Xiao Zhan a wind-attribute Earth-tier cultivation technique, helps Xiao Yan recover his cultivation, assists the Xiao Family's pill market, and goes easy on Xiao Xun'er during their sparring. 7 18 19 21
