Background / History
Sealing and release
Tian Xuan is Master Chongbi's son and Tai Shan's brother. Master Chongbi sealed him within the God-Sealing Tablet after Tian Xuan repeatedly insisted on entering the Western Huan Illusion Realm to seek Yun Jun, the woman he loved. 905 954
While Jiang Feng was imprisoned in the tablet by Mount Tai Venerable, Tian Xuan approached him under a childish facade—first attempting to claim him as a master, then a brother, and even proposing marriage—before settling on calling him “Big Brother.” He refused to release Jiang Feng, claiming that Jiang Feng was still too weak and needed to cultivate within the tablet. 897
After escaping the tablet himself, Tian Xuan sabotaged Mount Tai Venerable's external incarnation and devastated the Huanliang Star Sea. His stated aim was to occupy Mount Tai for roughly three thousand years, draw Master Chongbi's attention to Jiang Feng's imprisonment, and give Jiang Feng time to cultivate safely. 897 899 908
Conflict with Jiang Feng
Tian Xuan waited for Jiang Feng in the Crimson Flame Immortal Domain, where he gave Xia Youming the Holy Light Venerable Seat and guided her cultivation to curry favor with Jiang Feng. He also helped Dugu Xin advance into the Void Realm. 907 908 923 926
His impatience to reach the Western Huan Illusion Realm eventually turned violent. When Jiang Feng delayed their departure, Tian Xuan destroyed Flying Dragon City and seized Dugu Xin to force Jiang Feng's compliance. Jiang Feng retaliated with the Law of Immortal Space, sealed Tian Xuan's power, and imprisoned him in the God-Sealing Tablet. 927 928
Jiang Feng later released Tian Xuan after an immeasurably time-dilated confinement. Tian Xuan had preserved his sanity by entering slumber, but thereafter recognized that Jiang Feng had surpassed him and could seal him again if necessary. 947 948
Search for Yun Jun
Tian Xuan's true reason for seeking the Western Huan Illusion Realm was Yun Jun, his former dual-cultivation partner. Master Chongbi had killed Yun Jun because he believed their relationship hindered Tian Xuan's cultivation; Yun Jun subsequently entered the Western Huan Illusion Realm as a resentful loose immortal. 953 954
Within the realm, Tian Xuan endured capture by ancient god cultivators, labor in a divine-sand slave camp, and the danger of enemies far stronger than him. His usual madness largely disappeared as his concern for Yun Jun became immediate and personal. 974 977
After Jiang Feng tempered Tian Xuan's body and helped him attain the Supreme Realm, Tian Xuan confronted Master Chongbi over Yun Jun's death and his father's controlling treatment of both sons. 987 988
When Yun Jun was found as a fiend created by demonic baleful energy, Tian Xuan could not bring himself to attack her. Jiang Feng ultimately preserved Yun Jun's divine soul from the Fire Tower and returned it to Tian Xuan. 995 999 1000
Appearance
Tian Xuan usually appears as a shabby, disheveled old man with an exaggerated, comical appearance that reinforces his deliberately childish manner. 897
- Enormous head framed by fluffy, unkempt hair. 897
- Tiny, constantly shifting eyes and an unusually large mouth. 897 907
- Often described as hideous or decrepit by those startled by his behavior. 906 907
- Can reveal a void beast external incarnation. 910
Personality
Tian Xuan presents himself as erratic, childish, and shameless. He throws tantrums, wails that he is “pitiful,” provokes powerful figures, and treats catastrophic destruction as entertainment. 898 921 922
Behind this behavior is a calculating and perceptive mind. He deliberately left Jiang Feng inside the God-Sealing Tablet so Jiang Feng could cultivate, engineered Mount Tai's distraction, monitored Jiang Feng through hidden tricks, and guarded the Heavenly Demon Tower to prevent Heavenly Demon Venerable from endangering Jiang Feng. 908 920
His volatility is genuine when Master Chongbi or Yun Jun are involved. Tian Xuan's resentment toward his father and his devotion to Yun Jun drive much of his recklessness, but he is capable of loyalty, gratitude, and self-sacrifice for Jiang Feng and Xuan Xin. 910 954 974
Abilities & Skills
Venerable power
Tian Xuan possessed overwhelming strength even before reaching the Supreme Realm.
- Captured and kneaded three third-stage Grand Venerable Realm cultivators into a ball with a gesture. 898
- Destroyed a fourth-stage Grand Venerable's physical body with ease and split an entire planet using an oddly shaped cleaver. 899
- Can traverse the Eternal Void through spatial warping at a speed comparable to, or greater than, Mount Tai Venerable's. 910
- His Venerable position can be activated in battle, forcing other Venerables to answer with their own rank power. 999
Origin-power manipulation
Tian Xuan can seize and manipulate a realm's origin power with extraordinary precision.
- Stripped the Crimson Flame Immortal Domain's origin power from Xia Youming and refined it immediately. 906
- Used a small portion of that power to form a stone dragon, destroy more than a hundred immortal mountains, and subsequently restore them to their original state. 906
- Returned the seized origin power to Xia Youming unharmed. 906
Physical-body tempering
In the Western Huan Illusion Realm, Tian Xuan used Divine Realm Matter supplied by Jiang Feng to replace the Immortal Matter in his body. 958
- His tempered body ultimately reached strength comparable to Heavenless Master's. 987
- This physical improvement contributed to his later advancement into the Supreme Realm. 987 988
Void beast external incarnation
Tian Xuan possesses a void beast external incarnation, which he unleashed in the Heavenly Demon Realm.
- Its appearance caused widespread chaos among local void beasts. 910
- Tian Xuan used it to slaughter countless void beasts despite Jiang Feng's objections. 910
Equipment / Items
- Holy Light Venerable Seat — A high-grade Venerable Seat Tian Xuan gave to Xia Youming, allowing her to enter the Grand Venerable Realm after refinement. 908

- Oddly shaped cleaver — Used to cleave a planet in two during his rampage in the Huanliang Star Sea. 899
Relationships
- Jiang Feng — Sworn brother whom Tian Xuan calls “Big Brother.” Their bond began as a calculated attempt to secure Jiang Feng's help, but became genuine despite Tian Xuan's manipulation and repeated misconduct. 897 922 948
- Master Chongbi — Father. Tian Xuan craves his approval but deeply resents him for killing Yun Jun and controlling his life. 908 954 988
- Tai Shan / Mount Tai Venerable — Brother and recurring target of Tian Xuan's pranks and destruction; Tian Xuan devastated the Huanliang Star Sea partly to frustrate him. 899 905
- Yun Jun — Former dual-cultivation partner and the person Tian Xuan entered the Western Huan Illusion Realm to find. Her fate remains his central motivation. 953 954 1000
- Xuan Xin — Companion in the Western Huan Illusion Realm. Their hostile relationship softened as they faced capture and danger together. 974 977
- Xia Youming — Jiang Feng's important companion. Tian Xuan initially mistook her for his sister-in-law, gave her the Holy Light Venerable Seat, and later instructed her in cultivation. 907 908 923
- Dugu Xin — Beneficiary of Tian Xuan's assistance, which helped him reach the Void Realm; Tian Xuan later endangered him while attempting to pressure Jiang Feng. 926 927
- Mysterious Heart Venerable — An acquaintance who strongly dislikes Tian Xuan and reacts violently to his disrespectful remarks. 947 948
