Background

Yu Tianjue was born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect as Yu Yuanzhen’s grandson and Yu Tianheng’s brother. During his martial soul awakening, Tianheng displayed the sect’s Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and innate level-eight soul power, while Tianjue’s own martial soul manifested as a sickly black creature resembling Yu Xiaogang’s Luo Sanpao, with only innate level-one soul power. The clan consequently viewed him as another failed mutation. 1 2

Although Yu Xiaogang offered to take him away from the sect and teach him martial soul research, Tianjue refused. Rather than accept his apparent fate, he activated the Life Simulation System to seek a means of changing it. 2

The first simulation gave him the Ice Dragon King bloodline, Ultimate Ice, the Three Absolutes of the Snow Empress, and the Ice Crystal Necklace. These rewards transformed his martial soul into the ice-attributed dragonlike Xiao Hei and raised his soul power dramatically. 7 10

Yu Yuanzhen recognized Xiao Hei’s potential and personally brought Tianjue to the Far North for a suitable first soul ring. There, the Ice Empress abducted Tianjue after recognizing him from her dreams, taking him to the Snow Empress at the Ice and Snow Palace. The two soul beasts identified their own auras within his Ice Crystal Necklace and ultimately provided a thousand-year Mystic Ice Earth-Splitting Dragon for his first ring. 12 16

After the second simulation, Tianjue acquired the god-tier Asura Demon Sword, Pale Blade Instant, Sword Douluo Chen Xin’s sword insights, and enhanced physical fitness. He discovered, however, that he could not use the Asura Demon Sword and Xiao Hei simultaneously, choosing to keep the sword hidden while continuing to cultivate Xiao Hei. 23 24

Appearance

Tianjue is introduced as a young boy whose appearance closely matches the child seen in the Snow Empress and Ice Empress’s dreams. 12

• Bears an Ice Crystal Necklace containing the auras of the Snow Empress and Ice Empress. 7 13
• Is notably comfortable in the Far North’s extreme cold, treating it with a sense of familiarity rather than discomfort. 11
• Wields the blood-red Asura Demon Sword when using his second martial soul. 24

Personality

Tianjue remains composed under pressure. Even when his martial soul is dismissed as worthless, when Yu Xiaogang attempts to pressure him into leaving, and when the Ice Empress abducts him, he focuses on assessing his circumstances rather than panicking. 2 8 13

He is independent and pragmatic. He rejects Yu Xiaogang’s proposed mentorship, refuses to let his martial soul become an object of research, and conceals information that could expose the Simulation System or his second martial soul. 8 10 24 25

Despite his ambition, Tianjue values those who care for him. In his first simulation, he chose to sacrifice himself to protect the Snow Empress rather than kill her to complete the Ice God’s final trial. He also seeks resources at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well partly to improve Yu Tianheng’s talent and cultivation. 5 6 24 25

Story Role / Major Arcs

Martial Soul Awakening and Evolution

Tianjue begins as the sect’s apparent disappointment after awakening a level-one mutated martial soul. His first simulation overturns this judgment, evolving Luo Sanpao into Xiao Hei and granting him innate full soul power. 1 7 10

Yu Yuanzhen takes Tianjue to the Far North, where the Ice Empress and Snow Empress recognize him from their dreams. Tianjue obtains an unprecedented thousand-year first ring and reveals Ice Dragon Rending Charge. 11 16

Second Simulation Rewards

After reaching level 16, Tianjue completes a second simulated life as Chen Tianjue. The resulting rewards give him a second, god-tier martial soul and greatly expand his combat potential. 17 23 24

Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Expedition

Tianjue leads Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianheng, and sect elders to Sunset Forest in search of immortal herbs. He bargains with Dugu Bo, distributes herbs to the sect, and completes his Ice and Fire Immune Body tempering. 25 29

Trivia

• Xiao Hei was originally called Luo Sanpao by association with Yu Xiaogang’s martial soul; Tianjue renamed it after its evolution. 7
• Tianjue’s first soul ring is purple despite being his first, making it a thousand-year ring that exceeds conventional expectations. 16
• The Snow Empress and Ice Empress consider Tianjue both connected to and distinct from the Tianjue they knew in their dreams. 14 15
• Xiao Hei consumed a Lightning Lotus at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well without Tianjue’s permission. 29
