Background / History

Lu Chuan transmigrated into the Dou Qi world more than ten years before the events of the story. After gaining the Heaven-Defying Comprehension ability, he cultivated in secret until reaching Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, though the lack of Origin Qi prevents him from advancing to Dou Emperor. 1 8

Five years before his marriage, he was known as Danta’s young Nine-Star Dou Zong prodigy. An apparent accident damaged his dantian, and his visible strength supposedly declined to Nine-Star Dou Zhe. This led many within Danta to regard him as a cripple unable to cultivate. 1 18

Dan Chen remained devoted to him throughout this period and proposed marriage herself. They marry in Danta’s disciples’ square despite Cao Ying’s public objections. 1

A golden Sky Screen exposes Lu Chuan’s concealed cultivation, identity as a transmigrator, mastery of every Heavenly Flame, Emperor-Realm Soul, and extraordinary alchemical ability. Lu Chuan himself initially does not know that the screen has revealed these secrets, leaving him confused by the sudden deference of Danta’s leaders. 1 3 4

Personality

Lu Chuan is calm, courteous, and notably unpretentious despite his concealed power. He accepts the Danta Three Giants’ unusual gifts politely without realizing they fear his revealed status. 4

He is deeply protective of Dan Chen. He gives her the Primordial Creation Art when she is unable to advance, refines medicine to treat injuries from her breakthrough, and cautions her not to force future cultivation progress. 10 19

He generally does not seek recognition for his abilities. After clearing Xuan Yi’s blocked meridians, he dismisses the feat as a minor effort; he also responds to Cao Ying’s regretful approach with detached silence rather than retaliation. 14

Story Role / Major Arcs

Marriage to Dan Chen

Lu Chuan marries Dan Chen at Danta while still publicly regarded as a former genius reduced to Nine-Star Dou Zhe. Cao Ying attempts to stop the ceremony, but Dan Chen firmly chooses him. 1

Sky Screen Exposure

The Sky Screen reveals Lu Chuan’s hidden cultivation and extraordinary accomplishments to Danta and factions across the continent. The revelation turns former disdain into fear, strategic appeasement, and attempts to locate or ally with him. 1 2 5 6

Creation of the Primordial Creation Art

Unable to progress to Dou Emperor because Origin Qi is absent, Lu Chuan meditates and creates the Primordial Creation Art in one hour. He later gives it to Dan Chen to help her break through her cultivation bottleneck. 8 10

Support of Danta

Lu Chuan accepts Danta’s gifts without knowing the elders’ motives, then later heals Xuan Yi’s cultivation deviation with effortless precision. 4 14

Ninth-grade Pill Formulas

His Heaven-Defying Comprehension grants him the Phoenix Nirvana Pill formula and later the Yin-Yang Harmony Pill formula. He views such medicines primarily as life-saving resources for those close to him and uses the latter to heal Dan Chen. 15 19

Trivia

• Lu Chuan’s apparent damaged dantian and decline in cultivation caused even Danta elders to underestimate him for years. 1 18
• He remains unaware of the Sky Screen’s early broadcasts, despite their continent-wide political consequences. 3 4
• Though already at the pinnacle of the continent’s known cultivation hierarchy, he considers the Primordial Creation Art of limited personal use and creates it for others instead. 8 10
