Background / History
Li Chenfeng began as the Nalan Clan's young master and pursued cultivation with unusual persistence. After awakening Dou Qi, he discovered the mysterious energy connected to the Myriad Worlds Gate, which altered and stabilized the circulation of powers from different worlds. 3 25
While active in the martial world of Wind and Cloud, he trained for two years in the Ao Family Swordsmanship and Sword Demon's Severing Sword Art. At fourteen, he had grown into a skilled swordsman; after obtaining Blood Bodhi at Lingyun Grotto, he became a Xiantian Realm expert. 14 15 25 26
He later moved against World Society during Xiong Ba and Sword Demon's conflict. Li Chenfeng abducted both combatants, executed Sword Demon—his adoptive father and the leader of Sword Worship Villa—and compelled Xiong Ba to surrender the Three Absolutes Divine Skill and the Three-Part Return-to-Origin Qi. 35 36
In the Warring States world, he occupied the body and position of Prince Wei Feng of Wei State. He exposed Wei Yong's schemes, secured offices and military authority for his allies, built the covert organization Dawn, and gradually expanded Wei's military power. 67 74 75 77
Li Chenfeng eventually used Wei's intervention in the Yan–Qi war to seize Linzi, kill King Jian of Qi, and destroy Qi State. After unifying the Divine Land, he proclaimed himself emperor and founded the Great Wei Dynasty. 205 210
Returning to the Battle Qi Continent, he became an increasingly prominent alchemist and cultivator. He established Shenfeng Pavilion, entered Jia Nan Academy to pursue Heavenly Flames and resources, and used successive flame fusions to elevate the Flame Mantra and his own cultivation. 227 266 274 413
Appearance
At fourteen, Li Chenfeng had already grown into a graceful, adult-looking young man. Following his Xiantian breakthrough, his appearance and aura became noticeably more imposing. 15 26
- Stood over 1.7 meters tall while still under fifteen. 26
- Long black hair with a faint bluish-red shimmer in sunlight. 26
- Scarlet glimmers occasionally flashed through his eyes. 26
- His unrestrained post-breakthrough aura could evoke instinctive spiritual submission. 26
Personality
Li Chenfeng is ambitious, calculating, and intensely focused on growth. He prepares carefully for breakthroughs rather than relying solely on talent, but he also seizes opportunities decisively when political or martial circumstances favor him. 9 32 205
He views strength as the final arbiter of the worlds he enters and frequently employs foreknowledge, alliances, coercion, and assassination to advance broader plans. His long-term goal in the Warring States world was the unification of the realm, an ambition he compared to clearing a game. 190 195
Despite his ruthlessness toward enemies and rivals, he invests heavily in people he considers his own. He teaches disciples, gives cultivation resources to retainers, protects his family’s position, and builds institutions such as martial training halls and academies after taking power. 26 82 168
