Background

Cao Bing was originally an ordinary office worker before awakening in the body of a sixteen-year-old student in Jiangnan Base City in 2054. His new body’s Warrior parents had died in the wilderness, leaving him a house, more than three million yuan, and government compensation. Rather than live comfortably as an ordinary person, he spent heavily on personal instruction and pursued the path of a Warrior. 1

After two years of training, he reached the peak of advanced student rank but remained unable to make the final breakthrough. A rice-grain-sized light point in his consciousness then drew him into a second world: Stellar Transformation. There, he occupied the body of the heir to an abandoned martial arts school in Yan Jing City and discovered that the family had preserved a complete imprint of the Tongtian Diagram. 1

Cao Bing used access to both worlds to trade resources, cultivate separate bodies, and build wealth. His knowledge of the worlds’ broad timelines gave him an early strategic advantage, although he acknowledged that many details of the original stories had faded from memory. 10 17

Appearance

Cao Bing’s ordinary appearance is seldom described, largely because he regularly conceals or changes it while traveling between worlds and identities.

• Uses the Bone Shifting Art to alter his height and build; he can change from a youth around 1.7 meters tall into a sturdy man over 1.8 meters tall within several steps. 24
• Completes disguises with wigs, beards, altered aura, and secret techniques. 24 658
• Was seen in black armor and with black hair when summoned by Duan Donghe. 1039
• His powerful Killing Intent can make concealment difficult even when his identity and aura are altered. 596 599

Personality

Cao Bing is ambitious, adaptable, and intensely pragmatic. His first major decision after transmigrating was to reject an ordinary life and invest his inheritance into becoming a Warrior. He later treated his dual-world existence as an opportunity to acquire resources, techniques, and experience unavailable to a normal cultivator. 1 17

He plans carefully, keeps track of major events, uses alternate identities, and relies on avatars to cultivate or act in multiple places at once. He is willing to pursue rare treasures aggressively, but he does not blindly follow orders when they conflict with his personal standards; during the Blood Lotus mission, he spared Nan Xin and Zi Lian despite losing mission completion credit. 10 512 658

His growing strength also makes him increasingly confident and sometimes arrogant. After emerging from Ruins No. 9, he believed even Hong and Lei Shen could be defeated with a single slash, and he later confronted enemies vastly above his apparent realm without backing down. 146 190

Abilities & Skills

Cross-World Travel and Avatars

Blade Heart

Cao Bing’s defining combat path is the Nascent Blade Heart, later known simply as his Blade Heart. It turns willpower into direct combat power and grows sharper through life-and-death battle.
