Background / History

Xiao Yun was formerly a college student on Earth. He died after falling down stairs while buying breakfast, then transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent with his past-life memories intact. He gained the Daily Reward System, which granted him a reward each day and enabled his extraordinary early cultivation. 1

At twelve, Xiao Yun left the Xiao Clan to seek stronger system rewards elsewhere, since the rewards available in Wutan City had become increasingly unhelpful to him. Eight years later, he returned intending to make the Xiao Clan strong enough to withstand the disasters he foresaw. 1 7

He supplied the clan with hundreds of cultivation methods and Dou Skills, including thirty Earth-Tier techniques, alongside medicinal pills and heavenly treasures. He later refined more than seven hundred portions of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid for the clan's younger generation. 7 14

Appearance

Xiao Yun is a handsome, refined young man who appears younger than his actual age of twenty. His looks attract attention within the Xiao Clan, where he is frequently mistaken for Gu Xun'er's elder brother due to their closeness. 6

• Appears several years younger than twenty. 6
• Has a handsome, refined face and a youthful demeanor. 6 139

Personality

Xiao Yun is confident to the point of self-praise, readily calling himself a genius after seeing his Half-Emperor status. He is nevertheless aware that much of his strength comes from the Daily Reward System. 1

He is protective toward people he accepts as his own. He supports Xiao Yan's growth without exposing the youth's secrets, safeguards Qing Lin and Little Doctor Fairy, and leaves a strand of power inside Yun Yun specifically to protect her. 58 65 122 136

In battle, Xiao Yun is calm, decisive, and often ruthless. He kills bandits, sect enemies, and hostile Greater Thousand World cultivators without mercy when they threaten him or those under his protection. 21 97 311 Despite this composure, he can be easily embarrassed in personal matters, most notably after Zi Yan reveals that she overheard intimate moments between him and Yun Yun. 160
