Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
No cultivation → Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint	1 2	Spends his entire 100,000-point compensation to unlock High-Tier Modification Permission and edits his cultivation to its maximum. No Origin Qi is available for a Dou Di breakthrough. His updated attributes also include an Emperor Realm soul, Undying Constitution, Instant Comprehension, and Emperor-grade alchemy.

His cultivation surges toward Dou Di but returns to Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint because he does not use the required Origin Qi. His Dou Qi capacity nevertheless doubles.

Background / History

Before transmigrating, Chen Yang belonged to a wealthy family and expected to inherit its gold mines after graduation. A drunk-driving incident on the night before graduation instead sent him to the Dou Qi Continent, penniless and without family 1.

He spent a year in an unnamed town near the Magical Beast Mountain Range, hunting young magical beasts and selling their meat. Without cultivation or talent, he repeatedly risked death simply to make a living. When the delayed Modifier System finally activated, he challenged its excuses and demanded either a return home or meaningful compensation. Its grant of 100,000 modification points enabled him to remake his attributes 1.

His knowledge of Battle Through the Heavens shapes his subsequent decisions. He identifies Yun Yun as one of the original story’s greatest regrets and pursues her both for himself and for the system’s marriage mission 2.

Appearance

• Normal appearance: An exceptionally handsome young man with a muscular chest, firm abdominal muscles, and a lean, powerful waist 5 8 34 48.
• Usual early attire: Replaces his butcher’s clothes with black robes and styles his hair before approaching Yun Yun 2.
• Wedding attire: Bright red silk robes embroidered with Five-Clawed Golden Dragons, with a large red rosette at his chest 5.
• Titan form: Three meters tall, with golden scales, purple eyes, iron-hard skin, and heavily developed muscles 37.
• Presence: Can appear godlike even without releasing his aura, or suppress his aura so completely that outsiders perceive him as an ordinary person 2 49.

Personality

Chen Yang is practical, skeptical, and quick to exploit an opportunity. He refuses to accept lofty explanations for the system’s year-long delay, spends its compensation decisively, and later bargains for an additional mission reward intended for Yun Yun 1 19.

His confidence frequently becomes coercion. He threatens to destroy the Misty Cloud Sect unless Yun Yun marries him and removes her from office without consulting her. He treats convention and morality as restraints imposed on the weak rather than obligations binding the powerful 3 8 20.

His attachment to Yun Yun develops into genuine concern, but remains possessive. He heals her discomfort, supports her cultivation, and refuses further dual cultivation when she needs rest. Threats to her safety provoke immediate alarm and severe retaliation; after rescuing her, he secretly places a protective restriction in her body 10 11 34 39 48.

He enjoys manipulating events and regards his foreknowledge as a strategic advantage. The System Sprite repeatedly warns that his schemes resemble those of an ultimate villain. His restraint is selective: he considers erasing Xiao Yi Xian’s future memories but rejects it as unfair, then intervenes anonymously instead 19 36 37.

Abilities & Skills

Modifier System

• Attribute editing: Can alter cultivation, talent, physique, techniques, and other personal information through permissions purchased with modification points 1.
• Initial access: High-Tier Permission makes every entry on his own panel except his name editable, with cultivation capped at Nine-Star Dou Sheng 1.
• Other people’s attributes: Upgrades Yun Yun’s talent and converts her High Xuan Tier Extreme Wind into the Heaven Tier Wind-Control Art. He also improves Nalan Yanran’s talent 11 31 32.
• Information panels: Can inspect another person’s complete attributes; Xiao Yi Xian’s panel reveals her rebirth and locked future techniques 36.
• Limits: Drastic cultivation changes can trigger heavenly retribution that restores the target’s original level. One failed modification costs him 10,000 points, after which he abandons directly editing other people’s cultivation 31.
• Affection editing: Considers modifying Yun Yun’s feelings, but the required higher-level access costs 100,000 points 10.

Cultivation, Soul Power, and Constitution

• Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint strength: Overpowers the Misty Cloud Sect with a fraction of his pressure and defeats Gu Yuan, an opponent of the same realm 3 28.
• Emperor Realm soul: Instantly surveys the Magical Beast Mountain Range and later searches Wutan City, the sect’s territory, and the Dead Soul Mountain Range 2 26 41 48.
• Undying Constitution and Instant Comprehension: Both are listed among his system-modified attributes; the supplied chapters do not demonstrate their complete limits 2.
• Dou Di requirement: Receives one portion of breakthrough Origin Qi as a mission reward, but does not use it during his later art fusion 24 39.
• Doubled reserves: The fused cultivation arts double his Dou Qi capacity without raising his realm 39.

Spatial Manipulation and Restrictions

• Travel: Tears open spatial rifts and constructs Spatial Bridges, including a passage from the Northwest Region to the Central Plains 2 20 42.
• Acceleration: Uses Shrinking the Earth to an Inch inside a spatial passage while rushing to Yun Yun’s aid 39.
• Imprisonment: Seals space to prevent escape. His Dead Soul Mountain Range barrier permits entry but prevents those below his cultivation from leaving 13 48.
• Spatial attacks: Crushes Protector Wu and throws a near-light-speed Spatial Fragment that destroys Soul Three’s hiding mountain 13 42.
• Protective restriction: Yun Yun’s restriction enables location tracking, automatically attacks life-threatening enemies, and safeguards her soul 48.
• Limits: A determined Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint can still be difficult to retain; Gu Yuan escapes after their duel 28.

Thirty-Six Heavenly Stems Treasure Art

A ranked library of offensive, defensive, and support techniques. Its highest arts can affect the laws of heaven and earth, but Chen Yang has not unlocked those extreme abilities 28.

Technique	Rank	Demonstrated Function
Thunderclap Hand	Thirty-sixth	Creates enormous purple lightning hands; overpowers Gu Yuan’s five-seals-combined Ancient Emperor Seal 28.
Dusk Judgment Finger	Thirty-second	Fires concentrated energy at light-like speed; defeats Gu Yuan’s Ancient Emperor Shattering Nirvana Finger and disables his right arm 28.
Heavenly Robe Secret Art	Thirtieth	Conceals his aura and renders him invisible while he observes Xiao Yan and Yao Chen 26.
Memory Manifestation	Twenty-ninth	Extracts and displays memories, exposing Ling Ying’s identity and reconstructing the attack on the Misty Cloud Sect 22 42.
Heavenly Evolution Illusion Creation	Twenty-third	Produces functional imitations of imagined objects, including Seven-Colored Poison Pills and divine weapons 37 38 50.
Mirror Peering	Not specified	Displays Nalan Yanran inside the Gate of Life and Death through a water mirror 33 42.

• Lingering damage: Dusk Judgment Finger leaves the Power of Judgment in Gu Yuan’s arm. Even after three Gu Clan experts expel it, the healed arm remains twenty percent weaker 29.
• Illusion-creation efficiency: One imitation Poison Pill controls eighty percent of Xiao Yi Xian’s toxins; two linked pills raise control to ninety-six percent 38.
• Weapon imitations: His conjured Great Yi Divine Bow and nine Sun-Shooting Arrows possess eighty percent of the originals’ power 50.
• Scrying limitation: Checking Nalan Yanran through Mirror Peering does not reveal Yun Yun’s whereabouts after the kidnapping 42.

Myriad Spirits Transformation Arts

• Demon Transformation Art: Absorbs beast cores and converts them into transformation forms 9.
• Golden-Armored Purple-Eyed Titan: Doubles strength, speed, and defense; sharpens his senses enough to detect breathing creatures within one hundred meters 37.
• Titan poison resistance: Ordinary toxins cannot enter his transformed body, and Xiao Yi Xian’s defensive poison does not harm him 37.
• Titan Shattering Fist: Destroys a small mountain; the resulting shock wave knocks Xiao Yi Xian unconscious 37.
• Illusory Immortal Art: Fuses with the Demon Transformation Art after he learns it, expanding his reserves rather than completing a Dou Di breakthrough 39.

Alchemy and Practical Skills

• Emperor-grade alchemy: The system supplies extensive pill-refining knowledge and techniques, including forbidden methods that use powerful cultivators’ bodies as ingredients. No such refinement is demonstrated in the supplied context 2 17.
• Butchery: A year of experience gives him swift, precise knife work; he can dismantle a magical beast and slice meat as thin as cicada wings 34.
• Cooking weakness: His impressive knife skills do not translate into good food. His attempted dinner includes flavorless, unchewable meat, badly seasoned vegetables, and undercooked rice 35.

Love at First Sight

• His modified charm affects only beautiful members of the opposite sex 2.
• Yao Ye is immediately attracted to him at his wedding, but Yun Yun’s initial resistance shows that this trait does not guarantee willing affection from every eligible woman 2 3 5.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Pig-Slaying Blade — His original butcher’s weapon, retained on his modified panel and later used to prepare magical-beast meat 2 34.
• Storage Ring — Stores personal belongings; he also takes possession of Protector Wu’s ring 16 17.
• Sect Breaking Pill — Retrieved from Protector Wu’s ring and given to Yun Shan to settle Yun Yun’s remaining obligation to her former teacher 16.
• Transformation beast cores — Golden Thunderwing Wolf, True Dragon, Golden-Armored Purple-Eyed Titan, Iron-Eating Giant Beast, and Molten Flame Yuanxu turtle cores, awarded through the Mission Expert achievement 9.
• Origin Qi — One portion awarded for awakening Yao Chen and ensuring Xiao Yan obtains the Flame Mantra 24.
• Windhowl — A wind-attribute divine sword secured through mission bargaining and later gifted to Yun Yun 19 35.
• Azure Abyss Heaven-Splitting Halberd — Offered as an engagement-breakup quest reward, with defense-piercing attacks and unhealable damage; the supplied passages do not show Chen Yang wielding it 19.
• Great Yi Divine Bow and Sun-Shooting Nine Arrows — Illusion-created divine weapons entrusted to Yun Yun during the Soul Hall confrontation 50.

Relationships

• Yun Yun — Wife. Their marriage begins under a threat against her sect, not mutual consent, but develops into affection and explicit trust. Chen Yang repeatedly protects her while also restricting her autonomy 3 10 11 48.
• Nalan Yanran — Yun Yun’s disciple and his junior, who calls him “Grandmaster.” He installs her as sect master, improves her talent, and imposes dangerous cultivation trials 9 20 32.
• System Sprite — Guide and mission intermediary. Explains modification rules, provides warnings, and criticizes his increasingly manipulative behavior 1 19 36 39.
• Yun Shan — Yun Yun’s former teacher. Chen Yang exposes his Soul Hall dealings, supplies his desired pill, and warns him never to trouble Yun Yun again; later learns that he died defending the sect 14 16 42.
• Gu He — Rival and eventual enemy. His resentment over the marriage leads him to join Soul Hall in hopes of obtaining Yun Yun; she ultimately kills him with Chen Yang’s conjured bow 3 40 49 50.
• Xiao Yan — A useful figure in Chen Yang’s schemes. Chen Yang plans to make him a scapegoat, but also awakens Yao Chen and enables his apprenticeship; Xiao Yan feels gratitude for that opportunity 18 24.
• Gu Xun’er and Ling Ying — Potential links to Gu Clan support. Chen Yang publicly exposes Ling Ying’s identity to redirect political suspicion toward the Gu Clan 19 22.
• Gu Yuan — Same-realm opponent. Chen Yang defeats him after he nearly destroys the Misty Cloud Sect and kills Yun Yun 27 28.
• Xiao Yi Xian — Reborn cultivator whom he secretly assists in Titan form. He preserves her future memories, creates imitation Poison Pills for her, and leaves a restriction on her 36 37 38.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Forced Marriage and Sect Succession

Chen Yang arrives above the Misty Cloud Sect and demands Yun Yun as his bride. He forces Gu He and Yun Leng to kneel, threatens the sect’s destruction, and obtains Yun Yun’s agreement as a sacrifice for its survival. Three days later, their wedding completes his first mission and earns 10,000 modification points 2 3 5.

He then appoints Nalan Yanran as the tenth-generation sect master so Yun Yun can leave administrative work behind. The succession earns another 20,000 points and triggers an achievement reward. Yun Yun initially objects, but later accepts his argument that stepping down will give her more time to cultivate 8 9 10 11.

Soul Hall Exposure and the Wutan City Scheme

After killing Protector Wu, Chen Yang guides Yun Yun toward discovering Yun Shan’s negotiations with Soul Hall. He provides the Sect Breaking Pill that allows her to sever their personal ties 13 14 16.

Anticipating retaliation, he accelerates Nalan Yanran’s engagement breakup and exposes Ling Ying to make the Xiao Clan and Gu Clan appear connected to the danger. In Wutan City, he also awakens Yao Chen and receives Origin Qi when Xiao Yan becomes the old alchemist’s disciple and obtains the Flame Mantra 18 19 22 24.

Battle with Gu Yuan

Returning after a nightmare, Chen Yang intercepts Gu Yuan’s attack just before it kills Yun Yun. Thunderclap Hand and Dusk Judgment Finger defeat Gu Yuan’s strongest techniques, forcing him to flee with a disabled arm 26 27 28.

The defeat prompts Gu Yuan to cancel an attack on the Soul Realm and seal the Ancient Realm during his recovery. Gu Clan elders propose repairing relations with Chen Yang through an envoy and gifts 29 30.

Xiao Yi Xian’s Rebirth

A system anomaly leads Chen Yang to investigate Xiao Yi Xian’s early Poison Body awakening. Discovering her rebirth, he chooses assistance over memory erasure. Disguised as a Titan, he renders her unconscious and creates two imitation Poison Pills to control her toxins 35 36 37 38.

The completed mission grants the Myriad Spirits Illusory Immortal Art. While learning and fusing it, he receives an urgent warning that Yun Yun has been attacked during his absence 38 39.

Kidnapping and Soul Hall Retaliation

Chen Yang returns to find the sect devastated and Yun Yun taken away. Soul Three’s extracted memories reveal the infiltrators’ actions, Yun Shan’s death, and the destruction of the couple’s bridal chamber. After killing Soul Three and sealing his soul, Chen Yang heads to the Central Plains 41 42.

He rescues Yun Yun from the Soul Hall dungeon, condemns Soul One’s sealed soul to the earth’s molten depths, and encloses the Dead Soul Mountain Range in an inescapable spatial barrier. He then gives Yun Yun a conjured divine bow, allowing her to kill Gu He and attack the gathered Protectors herself 48 49 50.
