Background

Li Xuancang began as a labor conscript on the frontier. After killing three Barbarian soldiers in succession during an attack, he earned the right to become a regular Great Yan soldier and resolved to pursue strength after witnessing cultivators clash on the battlefield. 4

His abnormal growth stems from a continual one-percent daily increase in strength. Even in his earliest military service, this progressively reinforced his flesh, skin, vitality, and blood, enabling him to rapidly surpass ordinary soldiers and cultivators. 9 116

Li Xuancang rose from a conscript to a Battle Soldier through battlefield merit. Although Wang Tianshan encouraged him with promises of advancement, Li Xuancang refused to offer blind personal allegiance; he regarded his gains as the result of risking his own life. 5

He survived a near-fatal encounter with Demon Hounds, awakening after three days to learn that his entire squad had been wiped out. Wang Xiaoniu and his brother carried him back from the battlefield, and Li Xuancang remembered the debt of gratitude. His unusually robust physique allowed him to recover most of his wounds within three days. 8 9

His early military rise was rapid: he became a Five-Man Leader, earned promotion to Squad Leader after burning Barbarian grain supplies, and was later elevated to Battalion Commander and Thousand-Man Commander. Zhao Changlin, Wang Xuanshan, and Zhou Xingzhan each recognized his battlefield value and supported his advancement. 9 23 58 75

After rising through Great Yan's military hierarchy and becoming Marquis Wu'an, Li Xuancang survived a fall into the void and returned as one of the Human Race's decisive powers. His later campaigns expanded from defending Great Yan to safeguarding the Eternal Divine Dynasty and confronting threats across the Myriad Realms. 438 443 623

As Court Master of the Judgment Court, Li Xuancang directed the rebuilding and expansion of the Divine Dynasty's forces. Following the Spirit Realm war, he ordered the recruitment of five new legions totaling five million cultivators and planned a realm-spanning formation to secure the recovered territory. 623 633

Appearance

Li Xuancang possesses an exceptionally developed body shaped by body cultivation. When fighting bare-chested, his muscles are described as knotted like dragons and pythons, while his bronze skin carries a cold metallic sheen. 305

• Massive physical build and explosive musculature. 305
• Flesh and bones comparable to high-grade divine weapons as his cultivation advances. 494
• Golden blood and visibly rapid healing after severe wounds. 306 327
• Even after his heart and internal organs were destroyed in battle, his body regenerated them; his restored heartbeats resounded across the battlefield like thunder. 605
• His body can re-form from dispersed Blood Qi Force and indestructible Dao Patterns even after being blasted apart. 694

Personality

Li Xuancang is independent and practical. He respects military hierarchy when necessary, but does not confuse patronage with loyalty; he believes merit earned through risking one's life belongs to the person who earned it. 5 29

He repays kindness and grievances alike. He risked his life to carry the wounded Zhao Changlin from battle, protected Shen Qingshan deep inside Barbarian territory, and continued pursuing Xu Zinian over repeated attempts on his family. 22 134 329

As a commander, he is demanding but protective. His training standards are severe because he believes harsh preparation gives soldiers a better chance of surviving war; he also provides resources, assumes responsibility for his subordinates, and values loyalty. 114 155 477

Li Xuancang can be merciless when establishing order or confronting threats. He purged Sweet Spring Camp, made an example of the Profound Heaven Sect's disciples, and refused to tolerate enemies targeting his relatives. 221 288 300

His willingness to nurture talented followers is also strategic. He deliberately exposes Bai Meng to sufficient battlefield pressure to encourage breakthroughs, captures powerful enemies for Su Xinghai's cultivation, and seeks to build forces personally loyal to him. 528 568 626

Even at higher realms, Li Xuancang prioritizes allies over a convenient victory. While suppressing Tuoba Wuzhu and the Golden Mantis, he abandoned his advantage to reinforce the badly injured War God Yun and the Primordial Sect Master's forces. 686

He remains focused on strengthening his own side for impending conflicts, personally helping Su Xinghai refine increasingly powerful captives and ordering large-scale military expansion after securing the Spirit Realm. 633 679 698

Abilities & Skills

Supreme Hegemonic Physique

Li Xuancang's Supreme Hegemonic Physique is the foundation of his combat power, allowing his body to withstand attacks and divine abilities that would destroy ordinary cultivators. 566

Indestructible Scripture

Li Xuancang cultivates the Indestructible Scripture, which further elevates his already abnormal combat power and physical strength. 615

• The scripture enabled another leap in his combat strength great enough to suppress powerful opponents with only a wisp of pressure. 615
• Its effects complement his body cultivation, making his strength increasingly difficult for enemies to gauge or resist. 615 629
• Indestructible Dao Patterns and abundant Blood Qi Force allowed his body to re-form after Xuanyuan shattered it completely. 694

• Remained at peak condition after hours of fighting multiple Dharma Body Realm opponents. 530
• His long-term endurance lets him turn protracted battles in his favor against cultivators who exhaust their true essence. 298
• Regenerated a shredded heart and destroyed internal organs after Jian Lingzi's desperate sword strike, then continued fighting without being killed. 605
• Recovered almost instantly from wounds inflicted during his battle against the Golden Mantis and Tuoba Wuzhu. 686
• Reconstituted his body after Xuanyuan's attacks reduced him to nothing visible, making destruction of his physical form insufficient to kill him. 694

Blood Qi and Dharma Avatar

Li Xuancang can circulate immense Blood Qi Force for defense, suppression, and large-scale destruction. 90 385

• Forms protective divine radiance capable of blocking weapon attacks and Sword Qi. 280 351

• Sealed the battlefield before crushing multiple Cave Heaven Realm Insect Race experts with a massive palm strike. 626
• Possesses strength sufficient to confront Mid-Stage Cave Heaven Realm experts head-on. 591
• Had secretly advanced to the Late-Stage Cave Heaven Realm by the time of the Spirit Realm crisis. 629

Heavenly Human Realm Combat

Li Xuancang's later combat power enables him to contend with elite Heavenly Human Realm experts, sacred artifacts, and large-scale suppressive techniques through physical force and Blood Qi. 659 686

• Held his own against the Soul Emperor and Taiyi Sect Master in a two-against-one confrontation, despite the latter wielding the Ancestral Artifact Supreme Unity Cauldron. 659
• Suppressed Tuoba Wuzhu and the Golden Mantis, two peak Mid-Heavenly Human Realm opponents, with his fists and inexhaustible endurance. 686
• Forcefully broke free from Xuanyuan's restraints after the latter attempted to confine him within a sealed space. 694
• Shook apart the pressure jointly released by more than forty Primordial Realm cultivators with a single stream of Blood Qi Force. 703

Major Arcs

Frontier Soldier and Rise Through the Ranks

Mystic Sun City and Peace Prefecture

After becoming a Battalion Commander and then Thousand-Man Commander, Li Xuancang defended Human Race positions against Barbarians, Demon Race forces, and Evil Cultivators.
