Background / History

Fang Yuan is a reborn otherworldly cultivator pursuing immortality as the means to obtain freedom. In his previous world, the Supreme Immortal Embryo was bestowed upon him by a fellow Daoist, while his Supreme Immortal Aperture was destroyed alongside his body when that world collapsed. Reborn in Douluo Continent, he adapted to its cultivation system by awakening the Supreme Immortal Embryo as his Martial Soul and converting Gu worm powers from his former life into soul skills. 1 17

He recruited Tang San before Yu Xiaogang could take him as a disciple, then guided Tang San through his first soul-ring hunt and into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Fang Yuan used As Before to reverse Tang San's poisoning and deliberately preserved Tang San's Ice-Fire Golden Body Tempering opportunity, believing Tang San's eventual ascension could be crucial to Fang Yuan's own path into the God Realm. 6 13

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Fang Yuan refined pills from immortal herbs, strengthened his physique, helped Dugu Bo's Martial Soul mutate, and acquired his seventh soul ring from the White-Eyed Demon Tiger King. Completing his Martial Soul unexpectedly restored the Supreme Immortal Aperture, which he began developing as a self-sustaining internal world. 13 15 18 24

Over the following years, Fang Yuan trained Tang San and Xiao Wu, acquired further disciples from Shrek Academy, and founded Heaven and Earth One Family Great Love Academy. He also organized the Tang Sect around Soul Tool research, development, and trade, securing major support from the Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. 52 58 70 98 153

His growing influence brought him into direct conflict with Spirit Hall. Fang Yuan openly refused to kneel before Pope Bibi Dong, escaped the Papal Hall through Fixed Immortal Travel, and later arrived on the battlefield during Spirit Hall's invasion of the Heaven Dou Empire. 160 163

After Great Love Academy's rise and Spirit Hall's growing hostility, Fang Yuan was surrounded by Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and numerous Titled Douluo. Although enemy domains prevented Fixed Immortal Travel from completing, he endured their siege, ultimately escaped by concealing himself within his dropped Supreme Immortal Aperture, and withdrew from public view for a time. 178 179 180 181 182

Fang Yuan later entered Slaughter City under the masked identity Liu Guanyi. He survived the Hell Slaughter Arena and Hell Road alongside Hu Liena, obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain, and concealed his identity despite her suspicions over his advanced Soul Tools. Afterward, he used the Aperture's accelerated time to research domains, develop the Fourfold Regret Blood Refining Pool, and advance to the threshold of level 90. 187 198 203 204 205

Appearance

When Fang Yuan activates Martial Soul Possession, his long hair moves without wind and his appearance becomes more striking. His nose becomes high and straight, his eyes change into deep emerald pools, and his lips take on a healthy rosy color. 1

• Fair, delicate-looking skin concealing a body compared to refined steel. 13
• His body Martial Soul produces almost no visible change when activated, making his Martial Soul Possession difficult for opponents to detect. 114 160
• Incomplete Freedom Transformation manifests as a blood-red cape and radically intensifies his aura. 8
• When acting as Liu Guanyi, he uses Attitude as a simple ancient-looking mask to conceal his identity and true appearance. 212
• His Blood Battle Cloak further heightens his imposing appearance when used alongside Incomplete Freedom Transformation against Qian Daoliu. 179

Personality

Fang Yuan is calculating, patient, and relentlessly focused on immortality. He prefers long-term gains over immediate rewards, such as storing the Blue Silver Emperor's right-leg soul bone rather than absorbing it and risking disruption to his plans involving Tang San. 13 24 26

He habitually plans for failure before planning for victory. This caution informs both his decision to preserve key events from the original timeline and his development of the Supreme Immortal Aperture as a resource base independent of the outside world. 13 17 24

Despite his pragmatism, Fang Yuan is an attentive teacher. He protects Tang San from poison, aids Meng Yiran and Tang San through dangerous soul-ring absorptions, and helps Xiao Wu overcome her reluctance to accept soul bones. 6 45 65 152 He can also be mischievous and provocative, particularly toward Yu Xiaogang and Spirit Hall. 47 58 160

• He considers survival more important than pride, readily fleeing an unfavorable confrontation, including the blood-red bat swarm on Hell Road. 198
• In an overwhelming crisis, Fang Yuan prioritizes the evacuation of his disciples and allies over remaining beside them himself. 178
• He uses deception, partial truths, and carefully constructed identities when doing so offers a strategic advantage, as shown by his adoption of the Liu Guanyi identity. 198 199 212
• Fang Yuan remains methodical even after major breakthroughs, delaying his ninth soul-ring hunt until he has tested and integrated his newly developed domains. 205

Abilities & Skills

Supreme Immortal Embryo Physique

Fang Yuan's Martial Soul is a special body-type Martial Soul derived from the Supreme Immortal Embryo of his previous life. Its soul skills retain the effects of selected Gu worms rather than being determined by the age or species of absorbed soul rings. 1 41 114

• Can absorb soul rings without rejection. 41
• Grants extraordinary physical strength and defense even without obvious external transformation. 13 114
• His seventh-ring Martial Soul True Body allows him to form Martial Soul Fusion Skills with any person, regardless of Martial Soul type, cultivation level, or species. 16
• His physical constitution becomes immune to poison and impervious to ice- and fire-attributed attacks after Ice-Fire Golden Body Tempering. 128
• His constitution and accumulated enhancements allow him to retain immense close-combat ability even in Slaughter City and Hell Road, where Soul Skills are restricted. 188 198
• Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God's inheritance reacts to Fang Yuan's activated Martial Soul, revealing that the two can form a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. 160 170

As Before

As Before is Fang Yuan's first soul skill, originating from a rank-six time-path Gu worm. It rewinds a target to the state they were in several breaths earlier. 6

• Reverses poisoning and physical injuries. 6
• Can restore catastrophic bodily damage, including severed limbs or fatal wounds. 6
• Can revive a recently killed target, as demonstrated on the Evil Orca King. 141
• Fang Yuan relies on its restorative power to outlast opponents stronger than himself. 41
• It restored Fang Yuan's right arm immediately after Qian Daoliu reduced it to a bloody ruin during their battle. 180
• Its repeated use during the Spirit Hall siege allowed Fang Yuan to recover from lethal injuries, although the continual healing placed mounting strain on his mind. 180 181

Attitude

Attitude is a soul skill used for concealment and influence. 8 47

• Conceals Fang Yuan from spiritual detection, causing observers to perceive only a blur. 47
• Helps him evade Spirit Hall experts after appearing atop the Papal Hall. 47
• Assists in influencing others' attitudes and helping Xiao Wu accept soul bones. 98 152
• Forms part of Incomplete Freedom Transformation. 8
• Can take the form of a plain mask, enabling Fang Yuan to disguise himself as Liu Guanyi during his operations around Slaughter City and Spirit Hall. 212

Mutation and Adaptation

Mutation and Adaptation are Fang Yuan's third and fourth soul skills. Together with Attitude, they form Incomplete Freedom Transformation. 8

• Adaptation can stabilize dangerous soul-ring absorption and process excess soul-ring energy. 45 65
• Fang Yuan used Adaptation to save Meng Yiran during her absorption of the Man-Faced Demon Spider's soul ring. 44 45
• Forms part of Incomplete Freedom Transformation alongside Attitude and Mutation. 8

Incomplete Freedom Transformation

An immortal killer move created by simultaneously activating Attitude, Mutation, and Adaptation. It grants Fang Yuan the power to pursue freedom rather than freedom itself. 8

• Vastly increases strength and defense; Dugu Bo judged Fang Yuan's defense to be at Titled Douluo level after a single exchange. 8
• Allows him to disperse Dugu Bo's poisonous beam unharmed. 8
• Enables thunder breath and the ability to contain objects within his body. 41
• Raises his combat strength beyond ordinary Titled Douluo level; at higher cultivation, Fang Yuan estimates it at roughly level-98 strength-type Super Douluo. 41 68
• Lets him withstand the crushing water pressure at the depths of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. 129
• In conjunction with the Blood Battle Cloak, it allows Fang Yuan to directly answer Qian Daoliu's Angelic Holy Light with yellow lightning. 179

Myriad Self

Fang Yuan's fifth soul skill creates intelligent combat phantoms of himself. 32

• Phantoms can speak, coordinate, and form formations. 32
• Each phantom has only a fraction of Fang Yuan's strength and cannot use his other soul skills. 32
• Their large numbers allow Fang Yuan to overwhelm multiple opponents while his true body remains stationary. 32
• At level 84, individual phantoms possess physical combat strength comparable to a Martial Soul Avatar-using Battle Soul Sage. 72
• Phantoms disappear if Fang Yuan stops supplying Soul Power or moves too far away. 73
• A phantom can persist independently when supplied with the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus. 73
• During the Heaven Dou battlefield engagement, even phantoms dispersed by Titled Douluo carried combat strength comparable to peak Soul Sages. 164

Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus

Fang Yuan's sixth soul skill manifests as a white-jade and emerald-green lotus. It is based on a legendary Immortal Gu that continuously supplies Immortal Essence. 72 73

• Gives Fang Yuan effectively inexhaustible Soul Power and unmatched endurance. 73
• Can be transformed into a physical object and handed to another person or a Myriad Self phantom. 73
• Allows a phantom carrying it to become nearly indistinguishable from a real human, even to spiritual perception. 73
• Its exceptional reserves offset the otherwise prohibitive Soul Power consumption of his Humanoid Soul Tool Mecha. 204

Fixed Immortal Travel

One of Fang Yuan's eighth soul skills, Fixed Immortal Travel enables strategic long-distance teleportation. 43 47

• Teleports Fang Yuan across immense distances, including from the Star Dou Great Forest to Spirit Hall. 47
• Lets him block enemies' escape routes or appear unexpectedly on a battlefield. 43 163
• Can transport companions, as demonstrated when he takes Yang Wudi and Bai He to the ocean. 140
• Allows him to escape Spirit Hall's council chamber before Bibi Dong can stop him. 163
• Requires preparation time, making it vulnerable to interruption by sufficiently powerful enemies and domains. 179
• After hiding within the Supreme Immortal Aperture for three days, Fang Yuan used it to safely withdraw from the area searched by Spirit Hall. 182

Star Eyes

The second skill granted by Fang Yuan's eighth soul ring, Star Eyes transforms starlight into a means of remote observation. 47

• Uses the stars as Fang Yuan's eyes to scout distant locations. 47
• Allowed him to observe the sea and discover islands, spirit-beast territories, and the Sun-Moon Continent. 47 48
• Located powerful targets for soul-ring hunts, including the Evil Orca King. 140
• It later reveals Hu Liena's Spirit Hall expedition in the Star Dou Great Forest, allowing Fang Yuan to investigate its objective from afar. 211

Divine Slaughter's Domain

Fang Yuan obtained Divine Slaughter's Domain after crossing Hell Road with Hu Liena. It is his first domain-type ability and is founded on powerful killing intent. 203 205

• Suppresses targets within its range, reducing the strength of a ten-thousand-year Two-Winged Tiger by approximately twenty percent before accounting for the further effects of killing intent. 205
• Its killing intent substantially compounds the domain's suppression, reducing the Two-Winged Tiger's overall momentum by more than thirty percent. 205
• Fang Yuan studies the domain to create original domain-based soul skills rather than relying solely on an externally acquired inheritance. 204

Fourfold Regret Blood Refining Pool

Fourfold Regret Blood Refining Pool is Fang Yuan's original combat domain, created from Divine Slaughter's Domain, Regret Gu, and the conceptual basis of the Fourfold Regret Blood Refining Pool Immortal Gu House from his former life. 205

• Transforms the surrounding area into a vast blood-red sea capable of refining targets within its range. 205
• Can absorb and refine energy attacks into pure Soul Power for Fang Yuan's use. 205
• Can refine living beings, physical objects, and hostile energy, as demonstrated when it completely refines a ten-thousand-year Two-Winged Tiger. 205
• Resolves Fang Yuan's earlier vulnerability to powerful enemy domains, particularly the type of layered domain suppression used against him in Spirit City. 205

Thunderous Yellow Bird Transformation

Thunderous Yellow Bird Transformation is an ultimate transformation move Fang Yuan employs when he requires an immediate opening against overwhelming opposition. 181

• Fang Yuan used it amid the siege by eight Spirit Hall experts to break the enemy's containment and initiate his escape. 181
• Its activation was followed by a spatial escape technique that allowed him to disappear from the pursuing Titled Douluo. 181

Soul Tool Expertise

Fang Yuan is the continent's leading Soul Tool researcher and the driving force behind Great Love Academy's Soul Tool Department and the Tang Sect's industrial Soul Tool trade. 98 153

• He designs advanced blueprints that Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi cannot retain in memory because of a protective mechanism. 98
• His Soul Ray Guns can fire barrages at a rate and output that surpass a Soul King's ordinary attack efficiency. 200
• He developed auxiliary Soul Tools that remain usable in Hell Road, where conventional Soul Skills are restricted. 198
• His Flying Soul Tool permits high-altitude travel, allowing him to enter the Supreme Immortal Aperture from an altitude difficult even for Super Douluo to observe. 204
• He commissioned a Humanoid Soul Tool Mecha which produces level-eight combat strength at the cost of level-nine Soul Power; the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus makes its inefficiency acceptable to him. 204

Supreme Immortal Aperture

The Supreme Immortal Aperture is Fang Yuan's internal world, restored after he completed his Martial Soul with the seventh ring. 17

• Contains approximately fifty million mu of land divided into five regions and nine colored heavens. 16
• Operates at a time ratio of roughly one day outside to sixty days within. 17
• Can store corpses, resources, soul beasts, and other physical objects. 17 24
• Is intended to become a self-sustaining world populated by farmers, soul masters, and settlers. 17 24
• Contains separated spaces such as Little White Heaven and Little Black Heaven. 132
• Houses the two immense dragon skeletons in isolation after their disturbance threatens the aperture's stability. 132
• Its accelerated time flow enables Fang Yuan to advance cultivation, conduct extensive Soul Tool research, and develop domain abilities far faster than would be possible outside. 199 204
• Fang Yuan can drop the Aperture and conceal himself inside it, using this method to evade the search of Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo after the Spirit City siege. 182

Soul Bone Skills and Killer Moves

Fang Yuan has acquired multiple soul bones and uses their power to develop additional Gu abilities and killer moves. 16 41 128 131

• In battle, he used Dragon Claw Strike and Chaotic Dragon Fist to dominate Holy Dragon Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and Spirit Kite Douluo simultaneously. 164
