Background / History

Lin Changsheng is a transmigrator who entered the Primordial World as an azure serpent. Seeking a means to survive in an era of calamities, he drew ten top-tier innate talents and immediately began pursuing resources and cultivation opportunities. His early growth depended on the Eye of Insight, which guided him to the Crimson Blood Fruit and later allowed him to exploit the Sea Wolf and Sea Lion’s conflict over an Innate Spiritual Fruit and treasure. 1 2 4

After escaping into the Sea of Lost Souls and reaching the True Immortal Realm, he discovered Penglai Immortal Island. There, observation of the island’s Innate Grand Formation led him to create the Qi Creation Art, establish an exceptional cultivation foundation, and eventually attain human form. Penglai became both his primary sanctuary and the eventual center of the Changsheng Immortal Sect. 6 7 102

Appearance

Lin Changsheng’s original form is a massive azure serpent with dense, hardened scales. After reaching the Golden Immortal Realm, he gains a human form; while posing as Ao Rui, he appears as a sharp-featured young man. 4 6 16

• Azure scales that became denser and more resilient after his True Immortal breakthrough. 4
• Initially possessed a serpent body nearly a thousand meters long. 4
• Uses Fetal Transformation and Easy Shape-Shifting to assume other identities without relying on his original appearance. 10 16
• His body-tempering cultivation eventually makes every drop of his blood carry immense weight and vitality. 94

Personality

Lin Changsheng is intensely cultivation-focused. He consistently chooses opportunities that improve his strength, whether through patient enlightenment, calculated theft, artifact refinement, or long-term planning. He rejects Su Luo’s wish to become Dao companions because he considers the pursuit of the Eternal Great Dao more important. 3 80

He is cautious when facing unknown threats but ruthless once an opponent becomes an obstacle. He waits for enemies to exhaust one another, uses disguises to infiltrate powerful clans, and kills threats such as the Heartless Heavenly Demon and the Ink Qilin without hesitation. 3 26 27

Despite his opportunism, Lin Changsheng reciprocates courtesy and accepts responsibility for those under his protection. He guides Lan Qing’s alchemy in exchange for fair treatment, nurtures spiritual plants into disciples, protects the Qingqiu Fox Clan, and repeatedly intervenes for the Human Race and Changsheng Immortal Sect. 79 81 101 189
