He Xian

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

He Xian is a reincarnated soul born in the Foreign Realm as He Wushuang’s son. He retains knowledge of Perfect World, including Shi Hao’s future as the Desolate Heaven Emperor and the destruction awaiting his homeland. That knowledge makes survival—not merely inherited status—a central reason for his cultivation 1.

His mother belongs to Kundi’s lineage. At his emergence, He Wushuang remains a quasi-undying king, while Kundi’s bloodline is dominant in He Xian, producing his silver pupils. He also spent three childhood years in Kundi’s ancestral land, where he learned forbidden arts 1 20 25.

Despite remembering another life, He Xian sincerely accepts He Wushuang as his father. He Wushuang personally spent ten years with him during childhood and repeatedly praised his talent, judging his son stronger than he himself had been at the same age 3 49.

Appearance

• Face and bearing: Exceptionally handsome, with a jade-like complexion and features inherited from He Wushuang. His graceful appearance contrasts with his domineering presence in battle 1 48.
• Hair: Long, brilliant golden hair reaching his waist at his first appearance 1.
• Eyes: Silver pupils marked with crosses; later descriptions include silver-gold coloration and cross-shaped vertical pupils 1 60 99.
• Blood: Silvery-gray, later described as carrying golden light 10 30.
• Clothing: Initially wears a Daoist robe; later appears in a fitted moon-white robe 1 71.
• Title mark: Two golden characters representing “Sky-Supporting” are inscribed between his brows by the World Tree 30.

Personality

He Xian is fiercely competitive and deliberately seeks opponents who can threaten his life. He allows Chi Menghong to complete a dangerous power-up and chooses to withstand Heavenly Blade’s killing strike rather than evade it. He views such battles as opportunities to force breakthroughs, aiming first to dominate the Foreign Realm’s younger generation and ultimately contend with the Desolate Heaven Emperor 3 4 7 9.

His confidence coexists with genuine fear of death and frustration over his dependence on inherited methods. After earning the Sky-Supporting title, he still struggles with his inability to establish a path of his own. His ambition becomes more specific when he considers eliminating a body cultivator’s spiritual weakness by fusing the primordial spirit with the flesh 17 37.

He respects strength and courage, formally requesting guidance from the Gu Clan’s higher-realm cultivator and later drinking with Gu Rong. That respect does not extend to mercy toward every opponent: he kills hostile Emperor Clan heirs, humiliates Qing Kun for cowardice, and forces the reluctant Mo Xian into service 16 37 48 49.

Abilities & Skills

Indestructible Scripture

His principal body-cultivation scripture grants extraordinary physical strength, durability, and golden divine radiance 1 3.

Cross Pupils and Immortal-Slaying Ancestral Art

Forbidden Arts of Kundi’s Lineage

He Xian learned multiple forbidden techniques through his connection to Kundi’s ancestral land 17 25.
