Background / History

One year before arriving in Wutan City, Xiao Ze transmigrated into the Dou Qi Continent with his original body. He discovered a system that awards Trust Points whenever others believe in or trust him, then allows those points to be exchanged for cultivation, bloodlines, techniques, weapons, pills, and other resources. He spent his first year accumulating a small starting fund before buying a Xiao Clan token and Life Jade. The system-provided identity identified him as a direct descendant of the Imperial Capital Xiao Clan from 150 years earlier. 2

Rather than abandon the suspicious identity, Xiao Ze exploited it. He arrived at the declining Xiao Clan in Wutan City claiming to be its long-lost ancestor, relying on the genuine-looking credentials and his knowledge of the clan’s history to foster uncertainty and trust among its leadership. 1 2

After acquiring One-Star Dou Huang cultivation, Xiao Ze publicly established authority during Nalan Yanran’s attempted annulment of her engagement to Xiao Yan. He forced both the Second Elder and Misty Cloud Sect Elder Ge Ye to kneel with his aura, pressured the sect into compensation, and pushed Xiao Yan toward a Three-Year Pact with Nalan Yanran. 5 7

Xiao Ze later used Trust Points to exchange for a Direct Line Xiao Clan Bloodline, allowing him to pass the clan’s bloodline test. The golden result convinced the Xiao Clan that he was a genuine ancestor, formally securing his position and greatly increasing the Trust Points he received from the clan. 9 10

As the Xiao Clan’s Great Ancestor, he armed Xiao Zhan with the Taixiao Sword and ordered action against the Jialie Clan. The sword’s power helped the Xiao Clan destroy its rival, after which Xiao Ze’s reputation spread through Wutan City. 16 21 23

After strengthening himself further, Xiao Ze attended the Mittel Auction, killed Old Ghost Dou Wang with a single sword strike, and acquired a Tier 6 ancient beast hide bearing a map suspected to lead to ancient ruins. He then secretly departed for the Magical Beast Mountain Range. 27 33 34

Within the mountain range, Xiao Ze encountered the Little Fairy Doctor, defeated and repeatedly sparred with the Amethyst Winged Lion King, and entered the ruins indicated by the ancient map. The supposed Dou Zong ruins were ultimately revealed to be part of an ancient Half-Step Dou Zun’s scheme to recover his strength. 38 43 49 53 54

Appearance

Xiao Ze has the appearance of a handsome young man around twenty years old, a trait that initially makes his claim of being a 150-year-old ancestor seem implausible to the Xiao Clan. 1 5

• Youthful, handsome features despite his claimed seniority. 1 27
• Sword-like brows and a sharp, deep gaze after prolonged combat training. 43
• Has been seen wearing cyan robes in battle. 55
• Manifests brilliant Five-Colored Dou Wings when flying. 34

Personality

Xiao Ze is calculating, opportunistic, and highly aware of the value of trust. His impersonation of the Xiao Clan ancestor is a deliberate scheme to gain the confidence of Xiao Yan and the Xiao Clan, thereby generating vast quantities of Trust Points. 2 10

He is outwardly domineering and theatrical when protecting his fabricated ancestral status. He readily uses his cultivation pressure to intimidate opponents, demands deference from the Xiao Clan, and often speaks with the confidence of an untouchable senior. 5 16

Despite this arrogance, Xiao Ze is cautious about threats beyond his understanding. He recognizes that cultivation alone does not guarantee victory, purchases defensive supplies before entering the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and openly assesses weaknesses in his own combat experience after fighting the Amethyst Winged Lion King. 9 25 39

His mercy is selective. He spares the Amethyst Winged Lion King and turns it into a training opponent, but kills Mu Li and the Wolf Head Mercenary Group after they ambush him. He also guides the Little Fairy Doctor through the danger of her Woe Poison Body. 39 40 42 43
