Power Progression

Background and History

Xu Yuan dies on Earth and awakens in another world in the body of a high-school senior who shares his name. Early use of a Blank Historical Branch places his inherited body at Qi Refining First Layer. He prepares for an eight-school examination while repairing a misunderstanding with his childhood friend Yang Xiaobing over a forged love letter 1 3 4 5.

His Combat Prep Room and its Training Matches become sources of equipment, experience and clues about the Border City Battle ten years earlier. In those matches, he protects a child he initially knows as “Little Boy” and later identifies as Lu Yiyi. His investigations connect Border City to the Ninefold Nether, the All Things Unity Society and secrets involving his father, Xu Chengan 37 65 105 221.

Xu Yuan earns admission to Luofu University’s Skyscraping Divine Palace under Fu Xiuyi. He also works with Crown Prince Lu Qingxuan against threats linked to Border City, while entering the All Things Unity Society to investigate it from within. That position becomes openly untenable when its president, Qi Canghai, demands that Xu Yuan surrender Zuo Lingjing for study; Xu Yuan refuses and summons Imperial help 216 245 305.

His later work centers on Yanmen, the Ninefold Nether and threats to the Three Realms. He develops his Divine Temple into a shop connected to Yanmen, leads teams through his evolved Competition ability, and cultivates far beyond the realms available before the world’s Dimensional Ascension. On Earth, Li Bai promotes him to Golden Virtue Star Lord after he helps preserve Azurefall Heavenly Palace, the last heavenly palace 356 388 466 636.

Personality

Xu Yuan is protective of people close to him. He cares for his hospitalized mother, strengthens teammates rather than keeping every useful item, and refuses to treat Zuo Lingjing as property. He also intervenes for strangers and endangered companions, even when a safer route would be to leave 10 22 53 105 305.

He balances that loyalty with calculation. He retreats from fights he cannot afford, uses repeated Training Matches to test possibilities, and spares Qi Canghai specifically to prevent Xu Chengan from gaining control of the Society before Xu Yuan can grow stronger. Though he accepts Immortal Species power, he explicitly chooses to preserve his human way of thinking 83 108 181 323.

Abilities and Skills

Swordsmanship and Imagos

• Flying Sword Arts — Swallow Song Sword Art develops into flying-sword forms, while Night Rain lets him form Spiritual Thought Threads and control blades at range. Eleven controlled flying swords win him an arena match; later, his thread control supports much larger swarms 37 53 81 281.
• Combat adaptation — He studies Pei Shiyu’s swordsmanship during their duel, reproduces part of his Imago, then creates a star-filled sword Imago that wins the contest 281 282.
• Solely Revering the Skyscraping — A divine sword art that gathers all the swordsmanship he has learned into one strike. Its sword shadows become real blades, but using it leaves him badly drained 322.

Cultivation and inherited arts

• Hundred Meridians Return to Truth Scripture — A Dharma Lord-grade foundational art. Its circulation method lets him compress Spiritual Power to build a firmer foundation; Fu Xiuyi later gives him its reserved Return to Truth Section 81 96 322.
• Netherworld Passage — An art tied to his bloodline and his father. It opens a passage through spacetime; Xu Yuan uses it both as a potential escape route and to send Qi Canghai to a random Fragment World 10 117 323.
• Diamond Invulnerability — He becomes the first person recorded here to begin cultivating this difficult former-epoch art after its repeated returns to the imperial treasury 172.

Immortal Species and Crown powers

• Gaze, Whisper and Dimension — Three systems unlocked through his Immortal Species development. Their documented uses include disrupting a target’s sanity, creating or altering history, and concealing a secret beyond perception 143.
• Honor Among Thieves — A theft-oriented blessing strengthened by public attention. Its support ability, Wind Observation, reveals what enemies carry; later applications include Covert Plunder and Open Theft 135 287 520.
• Stealing Heaven and Earth / Heaven-Stealing — His Whisper ability replaces the surroundings of a visible target. He tests it by moving between a bathroom and the sky above Jiangbei City, and later uses it for rapid movement and tactical escapes 181 440.
• Team Battle — The evolved form of Competition turns real events into game-like battles and quests, manifests his Divine Temple as a shop and safe zone, and permits teams of up to forty. Xu Yuan can monitor members and distribute rewards; his body initially cannot withstand its full use before Golden Core 344 356.
• Fate Deception — Conceals information about Xu Yuan, including memories of powers exposed in a major battle. Maintaining that concealment requires him to carry on with ordinary-life tasks 461.

Shop and crafting

• Combat Prep Room / Divine Temple — Xu Yuan buys and refreshes equipment stock with Gold Coins, upgrades gear, and later connects the Temple to Yanmen to sell its goods 3 36 466.
• Ghost Devour and Combat Gear — Ghost Devour converts power and materials from defeated enemies. On the Demon and Ghost Shelf, he combines converted remains into Combat Gear, first creating the growable ranged weapon Blind Eye 108 109.
• Historical Branches — Blank Historical Branches can establish plausible changes to personal history, but reject changes that would make the past impossible 39 82.

Equipment and Items

• Truth set — Begins with the Final Enlightenment Ring and Final Truth Emblem; the Final Gaze Mask completes its documented three-piece effects. The set grants the Apostle of Truth identity and Azure Heaven Draws Yellow Springs inheritance, and removes realm restrictions from its scaling bonuses 3 39 216 217.
• End of the World — A growable ancient sword made of 300 detachable, hiltless flying swords that can combine into one greatsword 188.
• Ninefold Nether Shadow Sword — An Acquired Spirit Treasure restricted to Dark Spirit Root users; wounds it inflicts continue to wither the victim 166.
• Blind Eye — Combat Gear made from a skeleton bone and the Ghost Mother’s Eye. Its projectile seeks a target and returns after piercing it; Xu Yuan later upgrades it with a demonic heart 109 330.
• Ming King Radiant Armor — Battle armor given to him by Lu Qingxuan, who removes its restriction runes before Xu Yuan wears it 217.
• Youhuang Sword — Gains the Eternal Dust effect through Xu Yuan’s Yanmen-connected shop: a struck living being burns until the master dispels the effect or is killed 467.
• Primordial Chaos Umbrella — A Heaven and Earth Dao Artifact with capture-related abilities; it later gains Demon Subduing and can swallow an enemy’s enormous saber 591 629 630.
• Azure Heights Sword — A Mystic Yellow Divine Weapon whose wind power destroys a demonic boulder trap with a light swing. Buying it exhausts his Gold Coin balance at the time 630.

Relationships

• Zhao Shulan — His mother; Xu Yuan visits and supports her during her hospitalization, and her encouragement helps him accept an entertainment contract 10 82.
• Xu Chengan — His father and source of the Netherworld Passage inheritance. Xu Yuan questions his motives, though Xu Chengan later rescues him from Qi Canghai 10 287 305.
• Yang Xiaobing — Childhood friend, examination teammate and close companion. They support each other’s studies and cultivation; she continues to describe their relationship as not yet dating 5 84 283.

• Lu Yiyi — A Commandery Princess Xu Yuan protected in the Border City Training Matches. She gives him Night Rain and later investigates Border City and other dangers alongside him 105 247 260.
• Lu Qingxuan — Crown Prince, patron and investigative partner. He secures Xu Yuan’s admission result, equips him and trusts his warnings about threats to the Imperial Family 216 217 275.
• Bai Yuanze — All Things Unity Society commander who respects Xu Yuan’s ability. Their cooperation survives conflicting loyalties, and Xu Yuan later selects him for an organizational team 245 323 494.
• Zuo Lingjing — Fugitive whom Xu Yuan shelters. He refuses the Society’s demand to surrender her for experimentation; her impersonation ability also lets her stand in for him at Luofu 232 264 305.
• Xi — His Attendant God and fiercely protective guard. Xu Yuan equips her for battle but also restrains her willingness to kill 377 422 461.
• Li Bai — Guide and ally on Earth who assists Xu Yuan through tribulation and heavenly affairs, then promotes him to Golden Virtue Star Lord 590 630 636.
