Background / History

Transmigration and System

Xiao Yao was a man from Earth who transmigrated into the body of a newborn on the Battle Qi Continent. Upon witnessing Xiao Yan’s birth, he bound with the Achievement System, gained access to System Space, and received all first-tier pill formulas and mastery of first-tier medicinal ingredients. 1

The system also granted him the Human Physique and Alchemist Physique. Their fusion caused his body to emit golden radiance, prompting Xiao Zhan to declare that his son possessed the potential to become a Dou Emperor. 1

Xiao Yao began cultivating in secret from childhood. His early routine combined pill refinement, Dou Technique practice, physical tempering, and Dou Qi cultivation; he later used the Divine Concealment Technique to hide his actual cultivation from even his family. 5 25

Xiao Clan Years

Xiao Yao formed a close bond with Xun Er shortly after her arrival in the Xiao Clan. He stopped Xiao Yan from molesting her, then gave her a Frost Lotus necklace that reduced the side effects of her Heavenly Flame absorption. 7

At age ten, he broke through to Da Dou Shi during a spar with Xun Er. He treated her as someone he was responsible for protecting, a conviction that continued to guide his decisions. 21 23

He left Wutan City to gain experience in the Magic Beast Mountain Range, where he encountered Yun Yun, Xiao Yi Xian, and major opportunities involving Heavenly Flames, puppets, and tribulation lightning. 25 28 37

Jia Nan Academy

Xiao Yao entered Jia Nan Academy and established Immortal Fall Pavilion. He became widely known after leading new students to seize Fire Energy from older students and decisively defeating the White Gang. 233 237 241

During the Strong Ranking Tournament, he publicly revealed himself as a Dou Zong. His presence elevated Immortal Fall Pavilion into the academy’s dominant faction, backed by his status as a Seventh-Grade Alchemist. 295 298

He also trained Xun Er, Qing Lin, Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and others through oppressive combat training, pills, and individualized guidance. 173 178 446

Soul Hall Conflict and Xiao Clan Reconstruction

When the Soul Hall threatened the Xiao Clan over the Ancient Jade, Xiao Yao returned to defend his family. He killed Yun Leng, rejected the Soul Hall’s offer of recruitment, captured enemy souls, and fought multiple Heavenly Venerables. 345 347 371

Afterward, he dissolved the Misty Cloud Sect while sparing its ordinary disciples, seized Wu Protector’s body and soul for later puppet refinement, and vowed to restore the Xiao Clan’s ancestral glory. 393

Xiao Yao transformed the Xiao Clan’s new residence into a cultivation sanctuary through the Five-Element Sealing Formation, Five-Element Primordial Unity Formation, Five-Spirit Qi-Gathering Formation, and Two-Extremes Spirit-Gathering Formation. He entrusted clan leadership to Xiao Ding and left a Half-Saint Heavenly Demon Puppet under Xiao Zhan’s command. 416 417 418

“Good” and “Evil”

During the Xiao Clan’s stay in Desert Iron City, the narrative distinguishes Xiao Yao (Good) from Xiao Yao (Evil). The Good counterpart was assigned to cultivate the Secret of the Formation Character and reach the level needed to establish an eighth-tier formation. 384

Personality

Xiao Yao is disciplined and extremely goal-oriented. From childhood, he endured painful physical tempering and relentless cultivation because he believed preparation was necessary to survive the dangers he foresaw. 3

He is protective toward those he considers family or companions, particularly Xun Er, Qing Lin, and Xiao Yi Xian. He gives valuable techniques, pills, protective items, and even puppet-control authority to help them become stronger or stay safe. 116 140 146

Despite his power, Xiao Yao often uses teasing humor and arrogance to provoke others or motivate them. He can be playful with friends, but becomes ruthless toward enemies who threaten the Xiao Clan or cooperate with the Soul Hall. 58 347 393

He also possesses long-term political ambition. Rather than merely strengthening himself, he intends to build an alliance centered on the Xiao Clan and consolidate the Jia Ma Empire’s power structure before leaving. 401
