Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
Divine Tier, level 1	21	Birth realm, granted by his royal bloodline. Ordinary Nine-Tailed Foxes begin at Star Tier, level 1.
Unspecified advancement	22	Successfully advanced at a birthday banquet; an old acquaintance gave him Mujiu to mark the occasion.
Source Condensation; resulting level initially unstated	1 19 20	Reconstituted after fatal injuries in a great war. Resisting spacetime turbulence afterward depleted his power.

• Ranking system: Cloud → Profound → Moon → Star → Soul → Saint → Divine → Spirit → Source, with one hundred levels per tier 21.
• Later stabilization: Bieyun’s “Straight to the Azure Heavens” refines and stabilizes his cultivation, but no new level is stated 25.
• Goal: Reach Source Tier and catch up with his eight older brothers, whose strength already exceeds Source Tier 21 25.

Background / History

Wen Li is the youngest of the Wen family’s nine royal Nine-Tailed Fox brothers. Nine Nether chose him at birth and remained with him for countless years. He regards her—and the other brothers’ Source Tier weapons—as family rather than mere equipment 19 22 23.

He knew Jun Yi during childhood and became accustomed to his affection. At a later birthday banquet celebrating an advancement, an old acquaintance gifted him Mujiu. Wen Li subsequently insisted on upgrading the originally low-tier weapon into a Growth-Type Weapon, accepting considerable cost and personal risk 22 23 40.

Betrayal and a great war left him fatally injured. His clan’s Source Condensation restored him, but his intended return to the royal clan was disrupted. He remained stranded in a small world, while his brothers suspected outside interference and prepared to retrieve him 19 24.

Appearance

• Humanoid appearance: Long silver-white hair, pale skin, and eyes described as silver, gold, or platinum in different scenes. His usual forehead marking is white-and-gold 2 4 21 25.
• Elf King form: Six wings, an unusual feature he notices after rebirth 1.
• Nine-Tailed Fox form: White-and-gold coloration, nine fluffy tails, and a forehead marking 21.
• Ordinary fox disguise: Can reduce his nine tails to one and turn his markings pure white, retaining the golden mark on his forehead 27 45.
• Phantom Prince form: Crimson eye corners, a red forehead marking, and red-and-black power replace his usual white-and-gold presentation 24.
• Clothing: Elaborate robes; one white-and-gold outfit bears Nine-Tailed Fox embroidery and matches an unknown man’s black-and-gold dragon-embroidered clothing 4.
• Distinctive beauty: His appearance repeatedly distracts others, including Pupula’s party and Xia Mu 2 45.

Personality

Sen Lijiu is self-assured, impatient, and selective about whom he cares for. Early on, he explicitly prioritizes his family over strangers, treats prolonged staring as rude, and shows little concern when Dai Weiwei falls behind. His willingness to unleash a devastating attack after being obstructed establishes that he is not uniformly benevolent 1 2.

With trusted companions, he is affectionate and indulgent. He spoils Mujiu despite its demands, but recognizes the need to set limits. His rescue of Tabas shows a gentler side: he comforts the boy, gives him lasting protection, and teaches him magic 20 22 26.

His composure conceals loneliness and insecurity. He openly admits his helplessness to Nine Nether, compares himself unfavorably with his brothers, and blames his weakness for the harm suffered by those protecting him. His disappointing cultivation progress forces him to acknowledge that impatience has already cost him dearly 21 23 24 36.

He is also curious and mischievous, using a clone to listen for gossip and eagerly studying unfamiliar history and formations. Jun Yi’s affection can leave him visibly flustered, despite his otherwise confident manner 30 35 37.

Abilities & Skills

Transformation and Flight

Sen Lijiu can move between humanoid, Elf King, Nine-Tailed Fox, and ordinary white-fox appearances 1 21 27 45.

• Uses his wings to travel and carry Tabas to safety 26.
• Adopts an ordinary-looking fox form while Simon visits Tabas 27.
• Fox ears and tails can emerge involuntarily when he is embarrassed or overwhelmed 30.

Phantom Prince

An alternate form with different attack methods and an uncanny aura 24.

• Emerges when guilt over Nine Nether’s shattered body destabilizes his emotions and power 24.
• Has effects severe enough that his brothers consider its use dangerous in his current condition 24.
• Wen Su’s Moon Frost sends starlight across spacetime to restore his normal state 25.

Spiritual Sense and Direct Magic

He can survey his surroundings through spiritual sense and manipulate powerful light-based magic 1 2.

• Locates Pupula’s palace and reaches it before his escorts 2.
• Launches a ball of light that devastates its path, injures two women, and throws back a third person through residual force 1.
• Creates a shield around Tabas with a small movement of his fingers 26.
• Excessive magical expenditure after Source Condensation contributes to his weakened condition 20.

Clones and Shared Sensations

His duplicates can act separately while remaining linked to him 30 33 46.

• Sends a small fox clone to eavesdrop on Jun Yi 30.
• Deploys duplicates throughout the Castle of Memories to search for suspicious activity 33.
• Uses a clone to deliver Kukulu to Xia An’an’s doorstep 46.
• Sensations experienced by a clone can affect his main body; Bieyun advises reducing that connection when Jun Yi’s handling overwhelms him 30 31.
• Jun Yi’s magical necklace can compel the duplicates to obey commands 33.

Formation Analysis

An older brother’s expertise in formations influenced Sen Lijiu’s own considerable skill 36.

• Recognizes a familiar sealing formation and identifies added lines that redirect its energy from harm to protection 36.
• Understands that the hidden garden’s main formation and six corner formations form a coordinated defensive system 36.
• Acknowledges that his ability remains below his brothers’ exceptional mastery 36.

Protective Necklace Creation

He creates Tabas’s necklace from a star containing the image of a Nine-Tailed Fox, using spiritual energy for its cord 26.

• Protects Tabas, enables him to see the outside world, and helps him find Sen Lijiu 26.
• Contains additional functions that Sen Lijiu leaves Tabas to discover 26.
• Must remain secret: if another person obtains it, Tabas will be endangered and the necklace will disappear 26.

Flower Essences and the Origin Realm

Sen Lijiu can gather flower essences and send them into the Origin Realm 39.

• Carefully channels magic through a crack in the peony’s crystalline barrier to obtain its essence 39.
• Calls the essence “Magnolia,” bringing forth the Peony Flower Elf King 39.
• Through Magnolia, senses the surrounding flowers’ wish to leave the garden 39.
• With her approval, casts a garden-wide magic circle to gather their essences and relocate them 39.
• Later releases Magnolia from the Origin Realm when she wishes to act 43.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Nine Nether / Jiuyou — His Source Tier weapon, made by Wen You and bonded to him from birth. Appears as an elegant white-jade pendant bearing the character “nine”; enables family contact and can reduce an opponent to dust when he flicks his tails. Her true body shatters while protecting him from spacetime turbulence, leaving her origin soul and Origin Core in need of repair 22 23 24.
• Mujiu / Glory Flower — A sentient Growth-Type Weapon originally given by an old acquaintance. Can appear as a flower, written scroll, phantom, or pendant; provides transport, shelter, and protection. Absorbing five Saint Weapons strengthens it and allows it to speak 4 20 21 23 28.
• Bieyun — His fourth brother Wen Ran’s jade-pendant weapon, sent to support and supervise him. Stabilizes cultivation through “Straight to the Azure Heavens,” advises him, and secretly seals the Black Dragon Bracelet 19 25.
• Black Dragon Bracelet — An exquisite bracelet with ruby dragon eyes. Its light reacts during his reunion with Mujiu; its rubies dim after an unknown man heals him. Bieyun later places a sealing formation on it without his knowledge 4 5 25.
• Star-Shaped Crystal — A remedy offered by Jun Yi to ease his condition. Jun Yi prepared it with origin starforce at the cost of severely damaging his own origin 29.
• Jun Yi’s necklace — A powerful protective gift that also commands Sen Lijiu’s duplicates. Sen Lijiu recognizes it from the scroll space and accepts it gratefully 33.
• Saint Weapons — Possesses enough of these rare weapons to give Mujiu five as a reward; his family has exceptional access to high-tier equipment through Wen You 20.

Relationships

• Wen Yan, eldest brother — Coordinates efforts to retrieve him and reassures the other brothers that he is temporarily safe 19 20.
• Wen Yan, second brother — Shares the eldest brother’s translated name; advocates purging those who harmed Jiujiu 19.
• Wen Yun, third brother — Usually refined and restrained, but becomes furious over Sen Lijiu’s fatal injuries and suspected interference 19 24.
• Wen Ran, fourth brother — Sends Bieyun to care for him across spacetime 19 25.
• Wen Jin, fifth brother — Urges the family to remain calm and takes responsibility for investigating Nine Nether’s damage 19 24.
• Wen Ze, sixth brother — Takes responsibility for the coming heavenly tribulation during the family’s response to Nine Nether’s crisis 19 24.
• Wen Su, seventh brother — Uses Moon Frost to end Sen Lijiu’s dangerous Phantom state and bring Nine Nether back for faster recovery 25.
• Wen You, eighth brother — Master weaponsmith who created Nine Nether and the brothers’ matching Source Tier pendants; gathers materials to repair her 20 22 24.
• Nine Nether — Weapon, lifelong companion, and family. Her absolute loyalty makes her someone before whom he can admit fear and loneliness 23.
• Mujiu — Cherished but unruly weapon. He indulges its appetite for weapons, though its preference for its creator makes Nine Nether question its loyalty 20 22 23.
• Bieyun — Protective caretaker and adviser who monitors his cultivation, redirects his melancholy, and warns him about his clones 25 28 30.
• Jun Yi — Childhood companion with longstanding romantic feelings for him. Gives costly remedies and protection; Sen Lijiu gradually accepts his embraces and is deeply affected by his forehead kisses 29 33 37 40.
• Tabas — Rescued child and pupil. Sen Lijiu’s necklace and teaching help him become independent; Tabas hopes to grow strong enough to protect him in return 26 27.
• Edwin — Escort and guide whose thoughtfulness initially improves Sen Lijiu’s opinion of him. Edwin develops feelings that Sen Lijiu does not reciprocate in their later encounter 2 28 29.
• Magnolia — Peony Flower Elf King who accepts him, helps him understand the other flowers’ wishes, protects him, and sends him through the Otherworld Gate 39 43 45.
• Kukulu — Friendly companion who teases him and notices his bond with Jun Yi. Sen Lijiu later rescues him in doll form and arranges his arrival at Xia An’an’s home 33 38 45 46.
• Pupula — Initially invites him for an attribute test. Mujiu warns him of her hostile intentions, and his allies monitor her to prevent harm to him 2 4 5 6.
• Ji Ying, Aier, and Feng Luo — Behind-the-scenes protectors. Ji Ying orders surveillance of Pupula, Aier carries out his orders, and Feng Luo assigns Fire Phoenixes to guard Mujiu and the Ninth Prince 5 6.
