Background
Xiao Yun arrived in the Nine Heavens Continent sixteen years before entering the Chaos Holy Land. Born to a noble clan in a small kingdom, he spent those years unable to complete the Epiphany System's requirement to enter the holy land. 1
During the entrance examination, he used an enlightenment opportunity to resonate with the Chaos Bell. Although Saints and elders perceived him as physically ordinary, the bell rang nine times, cleansing his meridians and marrow and elevating him to Divine Son. 2 3 4
When Di Tian offered to teach him the dangerous Chaos Scripture, Xiao Yun chose it for its potential to forge the invincible Chaos Body. He then relinquished his Divine Son position to complete a system mission and gain ten enlightenment opportunities, becoming Di Tian's disciple at Imperial Peak instead. 5 6
Xiao Yun subsequently exceeded the Body Tempering Realm's historical limit, defeated numerous Supreme Body possessors at the same realm, and became the first cultivator since the Chaos Great Emperor to build a one-million-jin foundation. 78 96
After forging a true Chaos Body, Xiao Yun's exceptional rise made him the uncontested Divine Son of the Chaos Holy Land. His later identity as Dugu Qiubai allowed him to operate publicly after his presumed death and conceal the continued survival of his true body. 337 410 639 731
During his journeys beyond the Nine Heavens Continent, Xiao Yun entered the Primordial World under the identity Li Yun and became Heavenly Venerable Lingbao's disciple. He later developed his own Sword Dao Universe and Eternal Great Daos while pursuing the Eternal Dao. 971 1271 1238 1431
Appearance
Xiao Yun was initially indistinguishable from an ordinary youth. Even Saint-level experts could find no special physique or exceptional physical talent in him. 2 4
After Nine-Turn Body Refinement, his flesh became golden and his bones jade-like; his bearing grew more domineering and his features more refined. 16
- His body emits golden radiance when he exerts the Nine-Turn Tyrant Fist or undergoes body refinement. 16
- His Nascent Chaos Body gives his flesh, organs, and bones a multicolored, sacred radiance. 46
- The completion of the thirty-sixth Chaos Scripture layer manifested thirty projections of the Great Dao behind him. 45 46
- After forging the Half-Step Chaos Body, his three hundred Great Dao Projections form a Chaos Domain and shroud him in descending Chaos qi. 147 323
- His true Chaos Body emits divine charm and an innate extraordinary presence that cannot be fully concealed, even when he seals its radiance. 339
- After evolving into an Eternal Body, he is described as the incarnation of the Great Dao, surrounded by myriad Dao manifestations and billions of divine lights. 1238 1367
Personality
Xiao Yun is ambitious and determined to establish the strongest possible foundation rather than advancing quickly through cultivation realms. He pursues the one-million-jin Body Tempering limit once achieved by the Chaos Holy Land's founder, even after learning that his ordinary physique should make that goal impossible. 9 17 18 35
He is respectful toward elders such as Uncle Fu despite his higher position within Imperial Peak, but he is equally unwilling to yield to arrogance or intimidation. He defended Tang Yunyun after she was struck by Zhang Yaqin, humiliated Li Bufan after being provoked, and refused to give Mu Qianxue preferential treatment merely because of her reputation. 7 38 48
Xiao Yun is confident to the point of overconfidence. He openly declares his intention to defeat the Primordial Sacred Land's Space-Time Body, though later battles against historical geniuses make him recognize the danger posed by supreme physiques. 27 35
He is also strategically minded. He deliberately allowed Xie Yulong to challenge Chu Jingxiao in order to assess Xie's strength, and he uses public displays of strength to trigger the system's repeatable enlightenment rewards. 12 24
As his enemies and responsibilities multiply, Xiao Yun becomes increasingly calculating. He maintains false identities, employs avatars and puppets to gather information or control dangerous situations, and prefers eliminating future threats before they can endanger the Chaos Holy Land. 660 725 731
Despite his ruthless pragmatism, Xiao Yun protects his disciples, followers, relatives, and sect. He repeatedly shares cultivation resources and techniques with allies, heals injured companions, and treats the prosperity of Imperial Peak and the Chaos Holy Land as his responsibility. 587 721 866
Xiao Yun remains single-minded about cultivation and attaining the Dao. He repeatedly rejects Di Tian's calls for him to marry, believing romantic attachments would obstruct his path to becoming a Great Emperor and ultimately attaining the Eternal Dao. 721 1238 1271

- He used 12 enlightenment opportunities to master three combat skills, upgrade three prior techniques, and learn three formations. 29
- The system enabled his otherwise ordinary body to cultivate the exceptionally difficult Chaos Scripture at unprecedented speed. 15 44
- Its later functions enable him to rapidly comprehend Dao profundities, laws, and divine abilities that would normally require centuries or millennia of study. 306 403 587
- Xiao Yun can enter enlightenment through the Human Gate, making the system central to his creation of Emperor Scriptures and later cultivation arts. 916 1205

- Mastered the first nine layers in one day. 8
- Reached the eighteenth layer and manifested Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown. 43
- Reached the twenty-seventh layer and manifested Five Qi Returning to Origin. 44
- Reached the thirty-sixth layer, forging a Nascent Chaos Body and transforming his physique into a King Body. 45 46
- His cultivation was sealed by the Holy Lord to prevent him from prematurely breaking through beyond the Body Tempering Realm. 42 43
- The Nascent Chaos Body is not the completed Chaos Body; Xiao Yun still seeks to cultivate the scripture further and achieve the true supreme physique. 44 46
- Reached the seventy-second layer and forged a Half-Step Chaos Body, whose three hundred Great Dao Projections form the Chaos Domain. 147
- Ultimately forged the true Chaos Body, which can encompass the principles of other special physiques and grants exceptional compatibility with the Chaos Great Dao. 337 339 383
- By absorbing the origins of all ten Supreme Bodies, he further evolved his Chaos Body into an Eternal Body with drastically increased comprehension. 955 1238
Body Tempering and Forbidden Domains
By repeatedly perfecting combat skills rather than advancing his realm, Xiao Yun developed an exceptionally deep Body Tempering foundation.
- Reached 800,000 jin of strength after forging his Nascent Chaos Body. 46
- Entered the forbidden domains, allowing him to defeat cultivators from higher realms. 17 30
- Defeated peak Qi Gathering Realm opponents while remaining in the Body Tempering Realm. 30 33
- His foundation was strong enough to rank tenth among the strongest Body Tempering Realm cultivators in Chaos Holy Land history. 34 35
- Raised his Body Tempering strength to one million jin, matching the historical limit of the Chaos Great Emperor. 78 96
- His physical body later entered the Saint realm before his Primordial Spirit, enabling Great Saint-level combat power and the ability to shatter space with a casual punch. 587
- He continued the Body Refining path after attaining the Dao, creating the Chaos Undying Body and Chaos Gods and Devils Body to raise his physique further. 908 916
- His physical body and Chaos Body eventually reached the Immortal level. 1221

- Dragon-Locking Formation
- Eight-Gate Confinement Formation
Chaos Guidance and the Chaos Bell
Xiao Yun comprehended the Chaos Guidance during the entrance examination, allowing him to borrow the Chaos Bell's power within the Chaos Holy Land. 37 38
- The Chaos Bell is an Imperial weapon and can overwhelm cultivators far above Xiao Yun's own realm. 37 38
- Xiao Yun used it to repel, severely injure, and publicly humiliate Holy Son Li Bufan. 37 38
- Its protection makes him especially dangerous within the Chaos Holy Land. 37 46
- He cannot rely on the Chaos Bell outside the holy land. 37
- After forging the Chaos Body, Xiao Yun's connection to the Chaos Holy Land's heritage and the Chaos Bell became an important deterrent against enemies of the sect. 367 776
Avatars, Clones, and Incarnations
Xiao Yun makes extensive use of avatars and separated bodies to cultivate multiple paths, conceal his identity, and act across different worlds.
- Spirit Sacrifice Clone — His clone can independently cultivate and later forged a Chaos Body, deceiving outside observers into believing a new powerhouse had emerged in the Chaos Holy Land. 394
- Dugu Qiubai — An avatar identity through which Xiao Yun returned after being presumed dead, publicly revealed himself, and participated in conflicts among Quasi-Emperors. 660 731
