Background and History

Di Tian was one of the “peerless twin prodigies” of his generation alongside Liu Tiandu. He cultivated the exceptionally difficult Chaos Scripture to its ninth level in thirty years—already a record within Chaos Holy Land—and forged a Half-Step Chaos Body. His pursuit of a true Chaos Body ultimately left him trapped at the Transcendence Realm for centuries. 14 275 389

He accepted Xiao Yun as his disciple after Xiao Yun relinquished his Divine Son position. Di Tian brought him to Imperial Peak, granted him residence in the Heavenly Hall, and intended to personally pass down the Chaos Scripture. 6 Unknown to Di Tian, the Heavenly Emperor had influenced his choice of the Chaos Scripture and his decision to take Xiao Yun as a disciple, selecting him to be Xiao Yun’s protector. 1329

Xiao Yun’s discovery of a Bodhi Fruit and subsequent support allowed Di Tian to escape his lifespan crisis and break through to the Heavenly Realm. Di Tian immediately used his restored strength to protect Xiao Yun, overwhelming Dong Yutang and injuring the Eastern God King. 175 176 387

As Xiao Yun’s power eclipsed his own, Di Tian continued cultivating rather than falling behind. He refined Great Emperor’s Blood Essence, accepted cultivation assistance from Xiao Yun’s clone, and eventually advanced through the Quasi-Emperor Realm. 671 723 786 866

Appearance

Di Tian was initially depicted with white hair and a weathered face, reflecting his depleted lifespan and prolonged stagnation. After entering the Heavenly Realm, he carried an immense, abyss-like pressure and was surrounded by flowing divine radiance. 106 175

• White-haired during his Transcendence Realm years. 106
• Often travels upon a summoned white cloud. 6
• Uses golden radiance and golden fist seals in battle. 174 175
• Possesses a Half-Step Chaos Body. 46

Personality

Di Tian is fiercely protective of his disciple. He treats threats against Xiao Yun as personal affronts, intervening against stronger elders and openly declaring that anyone who bullies Xiao Yun will answer to him. 46 175

He is proud, competitive, and particularly unwilling to yield before Liu Tiandu, his old rival. Nevertheless, he is also a patient teacher who recognizes Xiao Yun’s potential, prepares countermeasures for his opponents, and gives practical advice when Xiao Yun’s ambition risks exposing him to danger. 113 202

His cultivation experience made him cautious about the cost of pursuing the Chaos Body. He regrets that his own obsession delayed his path, but continues to believe that Xiao Yun can forge a true Chaos Body and become invincible. 389
