Background / History

Lu Xuan acquires the Golden Crow during his awakening at age six, after choosing the system’s reward of random twin Super Martial Souls. Its quality is comparable to his other martial soul, the Asura Sword; neither clearly surpasses the other 1 10.

Leng Yaozhu teaches him a soul-power circulation method suited to its ultimate fire attribute. She later recommends developing the Golden Crow first, postponing the Asura Sword until he understands his personal reason for wielding a sword 5 10.

The Golden Crow’s aura and ultimate fire attract the Fire God, who chooses Lu Xuan as a prospective successor and sends divine energy to strengthen his body. That physical reinforcement helps him withstand his unusually powerful first soul ring 6 11.

Appearance

• Form: A three-legged divine bird, appearing as a dazzling phantom behind Lu Xuan when manifested 2 17.
• Possession features: Crimson-gold feather phantoms cover the right half of his body during his initial display, and golden wings unfold behind him 2.
• Flames: Golden Solar Truefire surrounds its wings and attacks; its heat visibly distorts the surrounding air 11 17.
• Cry: A clear, piercing bird cry accompanies its manifestation and major attacks 2 17 19.
• Ring configuration: Purple, purple, black after Lu Xuan obtains his third soul ring 14.

Abilities & Skills

Ultimate Fire — Solar Truefire

The Golden Crow possesses ultimate fire, expressed through its fiercely yang Solar Truefire 5 9.

• Burns away Dugu Yan’s Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison without requiring a soul skill 12.
• Can coat Lu Xuan’s fists or be condensed into a blade 14 19.
• Leaves flames in wounds that continue consuming an opponent’s soul power and bloody energy 19.
• Displays an elemental advantage over Qian Renxue’s angelic sacred fire, gradually devouring it during their spar 30.

First Soul Skill — Sunflame Feathers

Obtained from the 2,500-year Blazing Fire Cang Eagle, this skill combines aerial mobility with ranged attacks 11.

• Produces broad golden wings that allow flight and hovering 11.
• Fires golden flame feathers with an extreme heat penetration effect that breaks through defenses 11.
• Feathers explode on impact or through Lu Xuan’s spiritual control; he can deliberately delay their detonation 11 17.
• Precise control allows him to contain explosions within a chosen area 11.
• Sustained flight continuously consumes soul power, making prolonged aerial combat costly 19.

Second Soul Skill — Blazing Sun Divine Radiance

Obtained from the 8,000-year Solar Golden Lion, this enhancement manifests a golden sun behind Lu Xuan 11.

• Raises all attributes by 30% 11.
• Provides an additional 50% increase to the power of fire- and light-attribute soul skills 11.
• Automatically purifies negative effects of the same level or lower and grants immunity to them while active 11.
• Has substantial soul-power consumption, encouraging decisive attacks rather than extended use 19.

Third Soul Skill — Solar Prominence Illusory Body

Obtained from the 18,000-year Void Spiritflame Butterfly, this skill combines defense, traversal, and internal attacks 14.

• Grants five seconds of absolute intangibility, preventing physical attacks and energy lock-ons; Lu Xuan later describes it as immunity to physical and energy attacks 14 30.
• Allows passage through obstacles 14.
• Passing through an enemy plants a solar flame seed inside their body. Its detonation attacks from within and ignores defenses 14.
• Also plants a seed when an opponent passes through Lu Xuan’s intangible body, as demonstrated against Qian Renxue 30.
• Lu Xuan can dissolve a planted seed, removing the threat without detonating it 30.

Martial Soul Fusion — Great Sun Divine Authority: World-Illuminating Divine Crow

The Golden Crow fuses with Qian Renxue’s Six-Winged Angel, combining Solar Truefire with sacred purification power 21.

• Takes the form of an enormous Golden Crow with six wings of sacred light and a revolving golden halo 21.
• Produces a special flame described as capable of erasing evil and matter at their roots 21.
• Its heat begins melting nearby furniture during the first demonstration, prompting Leng Yaozhu to end the fusion 21.
• Accelerates both participants’ soul-power circulation. Their complementary martial-soul origins subsequently support rapid joint cultivation 21 31.
• Qian Renxue interprets the Golden Crow’s attraction of her angel as evidence of higher martial-soul quality; Leng Yaozhu identifies Lu Xuan as the dominant participant in the potential fusion 18 20.

Cultivation Characteristics

• Early limitation: Ultimate-attribute soul masters normally cultivate slowly in the early stages 32.
• Herbal compensation: Immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well remedy this weakness. The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid continues strengthening Lu Xuan’s foundation and vitality 32.
• Training method: Leng Yaozhu supplies a circulation route tailored to ultimate fire and permits Lu Xuan to improve it as his understanding develops 5.
• Combat preparation: Flight-oriented movement and combat training are prioritized over Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, which Leng Yaozhu considers unsuitable for their aerial abilities 15.

Relationships

• Lu Xuan — Bearer; develops the Golden Crow before the Asura Sword and adopts its name as his arena alias 10 16.
• Asura Sword — Lu Xuan’s other Super Martial Soul, comparable in quality but initially left without soul rings 10 15.
• Leng Yaozhu — Guides its cultivation, selects its first three soul-ring sources, and teaches Lu Xuan aerial combat 5 11 14 15.
• Qian Renxue — Her Six-Winged Angel resonates with the Golden Crow, enabling martial soul fusion and accelerated joint cultivation 18 21 31.
• Fire God — Its ultimate fire attracts his attention and motivates his decision to cultivate Lu Xuan as a successor 6.
