Background / History

Ma Xianhong is a transmigrator whose previous-life memories awaken only shortly before his meeting with the other transmigrators. He remembers nothing of his childhood, although he has already perfected Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements. His spirit-refining experiments allow him to recognize the anomaly in his soul and recover memories untouched by Qu Tong’s repeated interference 19.

Before that awakening, Qu Tong had repeatedly altered his memories through the technique variously called Double Full Hands, Dual-Handed Manipulation, and Twin Wholeness Hands. Recognizing the danger, he conceals his changed awareness and redirects his effort from the Self-Cultivation Furnace toward weapons and protective artifacts. He disguises his sword formation as a magnesium-powder workshop and its swords as an automatic sprinkler system 19.

His exchange with Sasuke, Tang San, Xiao Yan, and Han Li supplies the powers and technical knowledge needed to exploit his refinement skill more fully. He returns determined to escape Qu Tong’s control and develop Jiejiao beyond its original course 19 41.

Appearance

Ma Xianhong normally wears flowing white clothes and openly displays his elaborate Heaven and Earth Belt because he prefers its appearance to keeping it concealed 43.

• Physique: Broad chest and defined abdominal muscles 40 41.
• Refinement effects: Pale-pink qi accompanies his craftsmanship; purple-gold light flashes in his eyes during the Twin Wholeness Pearl’s creation 39 42.
• Battle appearance: His transformation device equips him with a full golden, lightning-wreathed exoskeleton, including a visor and deployable metal wings 47.
• Travel disguise: Uses an artifact to resemble a hairy-faced monk with a “thunder god’s mouth” before his Mount Longhu visit 50.

Personality

Ma Xianhong is proud, irreverent, and theatrical. He enjoys teasing his disciples, provoking Qu Tong, and making his artifacts visually impressive. His followers are accustomed to his improvised speeches, while his ostentatious armor attacks earn enthusiastic reactions from the Company’s operatives 39 43 47 49.

His doctrine of teaching without distinction has a firm moral boundary. He does not reject recruits because of their origins, but requires a clear conscience and refuses to tolerate cultivation built on innocent victims. His Heart-Questioning Formation enforces that distinction, and he kills Zhao Guizhen rather than entertaining excuses or reconciliation 40 41 44.

He favors overwhelming power over delicate technical solutions, especially when suppressing poison or reproducing another technique’s effects. That confidence does not eliminate caution: he refuses to cultivate an incomplete Twin Wholeness Hands method, strengthens Biyou Village before leaving, and avoids forcibly rewriting Chen Duo’s understanding despite having the means to do so 42 43 48 49.

He wants prestige and encounters with talented practitioners rather than rebellion against the Company. He considers securing a seat among the Ten Elders and intends to change tragedies he remembers from the original story 41.

Abilities & Skills

Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements

His principal technique simplifies artifact production and lets him refine, transform, and control enchanted creations. He extends it beyond objects to the body, spirit, and qi 19 39 46.

• Self-refinement: Treats a person as an artifact and cultivation methods as its innate abilities 39.
• Growing artifacts: Creates artifacts and puppets whose core abilities can develop independently. These require substantial materials and painstaking refinement; he has demonstrated the result without fully understanding its principles 39.
• Rapid analysis: Analyzes a talisman-bearing protective suit almost instantly 46.
• Battlefield support: Upgrades Company operatives’ protective suits, adds effects that activate immediately before breakage, and enchants their equipment with lightning 47.
• Cultivation support: Produces protective artifacts that resonate with their owners’ methods and improve vitality and cultivation 50.

Cross-World Techniques and Body Refinement

Memory exchange gives him access to Sasuke’s ninjutsu and secret techniques, Xiao Yan’s Dou Techniques and pill resources, Han Li’s cultivation arts, and a heavily modified burst technique combining Eight Gates with Ring Detonation 19.

• Circulates Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements along pathways approximately eighty percent similar to Eight Gates, refining his flesh while preparing explosive power boosts 39 40.
• Incorporates the modified Eight Gates system into exoskeleton armor 39.
• Uses a heavily modified Celestial Pace obtained from Jin Yong while operating his sword formation 44.
• Knows detoxification and pill-refining methods, but describes his practical healing knowledge as limited and often substitutes sheer vitality for specialized treatment 47 48.

Four Immortal-Slaying Swords

The four swords provide both offensive and defensive functions and combine into the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Their refined blades are brought to life through Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements 44.

Sword	Appearance	Function
Immortal Slaughtering Sword	Golden; forged from geng metal	Extreme sharpness, evil-vanquishing and spell-breaking properties, and divine lightning that shatters sinister yin energy 44.
Immortal Slaying Sword	Emerald green	Converts abundant vitality into death intent, draining an enemy’s qi and life force 44.
Immortal Trapping Sword	Crimson	Raises the formation’s temperature and ignites karmic flames across its target 44.
Immortal Extinction Sword	Translucent silver	Combines the other swords’ auras and seals surrounding space, separating the formation’s interior from the outside 44.

• The upgraded swords recognize allies, correcting the danger posed by disciples entering his workshop unexpectedly 39.
• The formation prevents ordinary escape methods, including escape as a yin spirit. Breaking it by force or using exceptional techniques such as Time-Stopping remains possible 44.
• Its combined cutting, draining, lightning, fire, and spatial sealing reduce Zhao Guizhen’s body and spirit to ash 44.
• The swords compact into four sword-pellet pendants worn on his wrist 44.

Lightning Battle Armor

His golden exoskeleton is an upgraded form of Black Battle Armor stored in a transformation device and activated with an energy key 39.

• Supplies protective functions sufficient for him to decline the Company’s anti-gu suit 46.
• Converts qi into golden thunder and can draw energy from nature 47 48.
• Produces lightning palms, spears, a forty-meter energy cleaver, and an electromagnetic cannon 47.
• Deploys wings for flight, a golden spear, and a scanning visor 47.
• Supports named attacks including Thunder Half-Moon Slash and Lightning Whirlwind Cleave 47.

Artifact Explosion Technique

Developed with Tang San, this technique turns Ma Xianhong’s stockpile of enchanted artifacts into expendable weapons 39.

• Modified Ruhua and Locust-Flung Stones possess built-in explosive properties 43.
• Life-force-filled Little Green Bottles neutralize gu poison, overwhelm Gu Worms, and explode against enemies 47.
• He considers detonating a spatial-storage artifact to create an exploding spatial vortex more effective than using it to imprison an opponent 45.

Twin Wholeness Pearl and Vitality Artifacts

Ma Xianhong records Qu Tong’s qi circulation and reproduces part of her technique through artifacts rather than practicing the incomplete method himself 42.

• Twin Wholeness Pearl: A red-and-blue pearl that merges or separates into the Demon Pill and Spirit Pearl. It reproduces life-restoration and mental effects through immense stored power, but lacks Twin Wholeness Hands’ precise control 42.
• Emergency restoration: A red pearl restores the vitality of Zhao Guizhen’s dying victim 43.
• Gu suppression: His vitality-filled cloak suppresses Chen Duo’s poison and improves her physique; it does not establish that her condition has been permanently cured 48 49.
• Mental alteration: He could change Chen Duo’s understanding with the pearl, but leaves that decision for her future self 49.
• Recruitment screening: The Heart-Questioning Formation checks prospective members’ consciences and excludes those responsible for grievous wrongdoing 40.

Mobility, Surveillance, and Concealment

• Wind and Thunder Pearls: Two ankle-mounted pearls accelerate his travel and combine into a mechanical Kui Ox. He crosses a thousand miles in roughly half a day 43.
• Mechanical insects: Monitor Biyou Village’s outskirts and relay images to a light screen 40.
• Perception disruption: Allows him to infiltrate the Company’s gathered forces as an unfamiliar operative. After it switches off during battle, his companions continue accepting him as a colleague 46 47.
• Disguise and duplication: Uses an appearance-changing artifact and leaves a freshly refined duplicate behind when departing for Mount Longhu 50.

Equipment / Items

• Heaven and Earth Belt — Incorporates twenty-four devouring pouches, storage space, and the battle-armor transformation device. Its modified Thieving Devourer Beast functions store qi, life energy, and mental power; the belt can be concealed inside his body 39 43.
• Sun and Moon in the Pot — An upgraded devouring-pouch branch containing an alternate space in which he can hide. It cannot move while occupied, and its consumption depends on occupants, resistance, and duration; capturing a resisting enemy is difficult 45.
• White Puppet — His first childhood creation, preserved for sentimental reasons and upgraded with steel, welding, and rare materials 39.
• Ruhua puppets — Modified combat and utility creations used during his travels and for cleanup after Zhao Guizhen’s death 43 45.
• Portable villa and Holographic Map — Provide temporary lodging and navigation during his Guizhou journey 43.
• Chen Duo’s safeguards — A vitality cloak, two vitality bracelets, and a jade pendant carrying Dual-Handed Manipulation protect her and those around her 48 49.
• Zhao Guizhen’s residual energy — Stores the sinister yin energy in a black crystal and refines the purified life force and qi into a wristguard for the rescued boy 44.

Relationships

• Qu Tong — His sister in name, former controller, and continuing collaborator on the Self-Cultivation Furnace. He escapes her memory manipulation but still uses her intelligence network and recruitment connections 19 40 42 49 50.
• Fu Rong — Top Disciple, personal chef, and intimate partner whom he calls the “Psychology Representative.” He gives her paired swords, entrusts her with village defense, and assigns her to help Chen Duo 40 43 49.
• Qiu Rang — Apprentice and sect administrator with a rudimentary grasp of Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements. Ma gives him study materials and handwritten notes for his work overseeing the Self-Cultivation Furnace 39 43.
• Jin Yong — Top Disciple whose Sage Thief inheritance informs Ma about Seven Fiends Gathering in the Body. Receives one hundred Ruhua and the Artifact Explosion Technique 43 44.
• Bi Yuan / Uncle Bi — Senior village associate who receives a Demon Pill, recognizes Chen Duo’s dangerous condition, and helps care for her 43 49.
• Zhong Xiao Long — Top Disciple equipped with glasses and explosive Locust-Flung Stones. Ma appoints him as a companion for Chen Duo 43 49.
• Zhang Kun — Top Disciple given Stealth Gear with oxygen recycling to support his underground movement 43.
• Chen Duo — Rescued from the Medicine Immortal Society and brought into Biyou Village. Ma protects her body and arranges gradual exposure to ordinary childhood rather than forcibly rewriting her mind 48 49 50.
• Sasuke, Tang San, Xiao Yan, and Han Li — Fellow transmigrators whose memory and technique exchange expands his powers. Tang San also helps develop Artifact Explosion Technique 19 39.
• Old Meng — Fellow participant in the Medicine Immortal Society raid. Ma regards his bacteria-controlling ability as a strategic weapon despite weak direct combat strength 46 47.
• Zhang Zhiwei — The recipient of Ma’s Mount Longhu visiting card, whose contents prompt a grave reaction 50.
