Background / History

Chen Xi was an Immortal in her previous life and ruled Cloudreach World as its empress. She was murdered, leaving behind an unresolved blood debt and a determination to return to someone important to her. Her True Spirit survived, allowing her to reincarnate and eventually recover her former memories. 296 298 300

In her current life, Chen Xi awakened her past memories at the Seventh Tier. She later became the ruler of Cloudreach World and made a bargain with Cloud Derivation, the world’s Will: she would help it advance toward becoming the Heavenly Dao, while it would help her open an Ascension Passage. 296 298

Chen Xi first encounters Lin Qing during the conflict between Heavenmist World and Cloudreach World. After realizing that she cannot defeat him through ordinary combat, she uses her Secret Art rather than surrendering because she cannot afford to remain trapped in the world. Lin Qing ultimately defeats her but spares her life. 293 296 297 298

After the battle, Chen Xi helps Lin Qing reach Cloud Derivation. Once Cloud Derivation submits to Lin Qing, Chen Xi leaves Cloudreach World with him. She later reunites with Yuan Shuo, revealing that they were once emperor and empress. 299 300

Appearance

Chen Xi’s Dharma Aspect reflects her former imperial identity. It wears a black dragon-embroidered imperial robe and a twelve-tasseled crown, while her Ice Will forms a blue longsword. After leaving Cloudreach World, she changes into a blue dress. 293 302

Distinguishing features include:

• Imperial robes and a twelve-tasseled crown in her Dharma Aspect. 293
• A blue longsword condensed from Ice Will. 293
• A Dharma Image that reaches 150,000 zhang under her Secret Art. 296
• A Dharma Image nearly 700 kilometers tall after reaching the Twelfth Tier. 330

Personality

Chen Xi is dignified, experienced, and highly determined. Her previous life as an Immortal and ruler gives her extensive combat knowledge, but she is willing to abandon conventional tactics when they fail. Rather than accept defeat, she uses a dangerous Secret Art that could damage her cultivation, talent, or lifespan because her personal objectives matter more than preserving her current strength. 294 296

She is emotionally attached to the people connected to her former life, particularly Yuan Shuo and her unnamed sisters. Her determination to leave Cloudreach World is driven not only by revenge but also by her desire to return to someone she cannot abandon. 296 301

Chen Xi is also cautious when faced with unfamiliar powers. After Wang Teng reveals his abnormal Beastification, she recognizes that a hidden force may be involved and supports withdrawing rather than provoking it. 308 She remains calm under pressure and trusts Yuan Shuo during dangerous confrontations. 308 334

Abilities & Skills

Ice Will

Chen Xi’s Ice Will is her principal offensive power and can be condensed into a longsword. Its strength initially exceeds Lin Qing’s Wind Will, allowing her to launch powerful attacks despite losing the technical exchange. 293 294

Applications and limits:

• Forms an Ice Will longsword for close combat. 293
• Provides overwhelming force in direct clashes.
• Reaches perfection by the time she fights the Gloomy Man. 331
• Is less effective against Lin Qing’s precise redirection and Unrestrained Ultimate Intent when their basic attributes are comparable. 294

Cold Will

Cold Will attacks more deeply than ordinary physical freezing. It can interfere directly with the soul and thoughts, slowing Lin Qing’s thinking and bypassing his Selfless Oblivion defense. 294

Applications and limits:

• Freezes and restricts opponents over a wide area. 331
• Detects concealed enemies by spreading cold through the surrounding space. 331
• Restricts the Gloomy Man’s movement despite his perfected concealment ability. 331
• Works especially well against opponents whose primary power is concealment or invisibility. 331

Mist Will

Chen Xi uses Mist Will to obstruct vision and suppress Divine Sense across millions of li. She combines it with Cold Will to create openings for surprise attacks. 294

Applications and limits:

• Conceals movement and battlefield positions.
• Suppresses Lin Qing’s Divine Sense during their duel. 294
• Enables attacks through concealment rather than direct confrontation.

Secret Art

Chen Xi’s Secret Art draws power from Cloudreach World instead of merely releasing her own strength. Through her relationship with the Yunyan Will, she can exceed the normal limits of the technique. 296

Applications and limits:

• Uses a blood-drawn pattern to activate the art. 296
• Raises her to the God Venerable/Divine Lord level.
• Creates a solid 150,000-zhang Dharma Image.
• Borrows power from heaven and earth rather than relying only on personal cultivation. 296
• Carries a severe cost that may damage her cultivation, talent, or lifespan. 296

Immortal Combat Experience

As a reincarnated Immortal, Chen Xi possesses the experience of countless previous battles. She can rapidly analyze opponents, recognize the nature of rare abilities, and adapt her tactics during combat. 294 297

Applications and limits:

• Identifies Lin Qing’s Burning the Boats as a Divine Ability. 297
• Uses defensive Cold Will to react to an assassination attempt at close range. 331
• Defeats the Gloomy Man by exposing his position and destroying both his Dharma Image and Primordial Spirit. 331
• Her experience cannot compensate for Lin Qing’s superior technique when their basic attributes are equal. 294

True Spirit and Reincarnation

Chen Xi’s True Spirit survived her previous death, allowing her to reincarnate and recover her memories in her current life. If she dies again, she may reincarnate, but damage to her True Spirit could greatly delay or prevent the recovery of her memories. 298

Applications and limits:

• Awakened her former-life memories at the Seventh Tier. 298
• Can potentially reincarnate after death.
• Risks permanent memory loss if her True Spirit is heavily depleted. 298

Divine Sense

Chen Xi possesses Divine Sense comparable to Lin Qing’s and was already capable of suppressing numerous Divine Lords while ruling Cloudreach World. After reaching the Twelfth Tier, her Divine Sense and combat power increase substantially. 293 312 328

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Ice Will Longsword — A temporary weapon condensed from Ice Will. Chen Xi had not forged a natal magic treasure because she had not found suitable materials and did not want to settle for an inferior weapon. 293
• Imperial attire — Her Dharma Aspect manifests in a black dragon-embroidered imperial robe and a twelve-tasseled crown. 293
• Secret Art blood pattern — The activation medium for the Secret Art that draws power from Cloudreach World. 296

Relationships

• Lin Qing — Initially an opponent, later an ally. He defeats Chen Xi, spares her, and brings her along when he leaves Cloudreach World. Their relationship is based on mutual caution and respect. 293 298 299
• Yuan Shuo — Former husband and emperor of an Immortal dynasty. Chen Xi was his empress in their previous lives; their reunion confirms that both reincarnated after being murdered. 300 301
• Cloud Derivation — World Will of Cloudreach World. Chen Xi bargained with it for an Ascension Passage, but Cloud Derivation later denounced her as a traitor after she guided Lin Qing to it. 296 299
• Lin Qing’s group — She travels with Lin Qing and Yuan Shuo after leaving Cloudreach World and assists them during their journey through the wider universe. 302 328
• Wen Li — Chen Xi’s later master at Azure Cosmos Academy. Wen Li accepts Chen Xi, Lin Qing, and Yuan Shuo as direct disciples. 335
• Her sisters — Unnamed relatives whom Chen Xi intends to find after leaving Cloudreach World. 301

Story Role / Major Arcs

Conflict with Lin Qing

Chen Xi challenges Lin Qing after the two initially converse peacefully. Her Ice Will and combat experience prove insufficient against his Unrestrained Ultimate Intent, which lets him redirect her attacks with minimal force. 293 294

When ordinary combat fails, she activates her Secret Art and temporarily reaches the God Venerable/Divine Lord level. Lin Qing responds with Burning the Boats, a Divine Ability that raises his power enough to overcome her enhanced form. 296 297

Departure from Cloudreach World

After Lin Qing defeats her, Chen Xi explains that she must leave the world because of her revenge and her promise to return to someone important. Lin Qing spares her and keeps her nearby until Cloud Derivation is subdued. 298 299

Reunion with Yuan Shuo

Chen Xi recognizes Sun Shaoping as Yuan Shuo, her former husband and the emperor of an Immortal dynasty. Their reunion reveals that both were murdered in their former lives, although neither knows who was responsible for Chen Xi’s death. 300

Journey Beyond the World

Chen Xi joins Lin Qing and Yuan Shuo in preparing to leave Heavenmist World. She assists during the forging of Lin Qing’s natal Dharma treasure and remains with the group as they enter the wider universe. 301 302 305

Encounter with the Wang Lineage

While traveling through a new universe, Chen Xi becomes involved in the confrontation with Wang Teng and his guards. She supports Yuan Shuo during the initial battle and recognizes the danger of Wang Teng’s abnormal Beastification. 307 308

The trio later relies on disguises and deception to evade the manhunt launched by the great Lineages. Chen Xi helps maintain their cover while traveling through successive Teleportation Arrays. 311 312

Deep-Space Bladebearer Squad

Chen Xi accepts a duel against the Gloomy Man, a Peak Twelfth-Tier assassin from the Deep-Space Bladebearer Squad. She detects his concealed attack, destroys his Dharma Image with perfected Ice and Cold Will, and crushes his fleeing Primordial Spirit after Lin Qing orders her to finish him. 329 330 331

After the surviving squad members explain the structure of Azure Cosmos Academy, Chen Xi joins the academy under Wen Li’s tutelage alongside Lin Qing and Yuan Shuo. 334 335
