Yuezheng Xiangling

Biodata

Power Progression

Appearance

• Face and eyes: Delicate features, fair skin, and peach-blossom eyes; her beauty remains striking even during the period when she is missing two limbs 98 103 108.
• Build: Long-legged and slender, with proportions that make her appear taller than her 1.68 m height 137.
• Clothing: Wears black-and-gold imperial robes during her confrontation with Qin Keyi and a fiery red dress in later events 300 1053.
• Bare feet: Frequently goes without shoes or stockings, including while walking through a peach grove and appearing before other cultivators 107 137.
• Former injuries: Ao Bai severed one arm and one leg. Pale purple mist prevented ordinary reattachment until Yun Che treated her with Universal Super Glue 103 104.

Personality

Xiangling places her subjects’ safety above her own. She uses herself as bait to draw Flame-Eating Ants away from the capital and deliberately slows her return so the population can see that she has survived. After learning that the gate beneath Azure Sparrow might attract more Sages, she considers relocating the entire empire rather than gambling its survival on a possible treasure 98 103 216.

Privately, she is playful, affectionate, and easily embarrassed. She asks Yun Che to stop calling her “Your Majesty,” smiles readily during their outings, and teases Ye Qingshuang over their shared interest in him. Her secluded treehouse bedroom contrasts with her formal imperial image 103 106 108 137.

Her affection does not prevent decisive judgment. Although she cannot personally kill Ao Bai, whom she revered as a father, she refuses to spare him after discovering his plan to destroy her nation. She also counsels patience when Ye Qingshuang’s desire for revenge threatens to push her into an expedition beyond their strength 190 205 206.

She has a competitive streak: a provocative gesture from another driver is enough to make her pursue his Ferrari rather than yield the road 900.

History

Rescue and Recovery

When Flame-Eating Ants threaten Azure Sparrow, Xiangling manifests her flaming azure sparrow and draws the swarm away from the capital. The Ant Emperor nearly catches her with a surprise attack, but Yun Che intervenes before she can sacrifice her blood essence to survive 98.

She subsequently brings him to the palace and reveals that Ao Bai severed her arm and leg. At the time, she believes his explanation that cultivation deviation caused him to mistake her for an enemy. Yun Che restores her limbs with Universal Super Glue, and she later thanks him with her self-created sword dance in a peach grove 103 104 107 108.

Ao Bai’s Betrayal and the Threat Beneath Azure Sparrow

Yun Che eventually reveals that Ao Bai and Luo Hun have been using her suffering for cultivation and plan to destroy Azure Sparrow to harvest her despair. After hearing Ao Bai admit the truth, Xiangling gives Yun Che her sword and asks him to execute her former master. She retains Ao Bai’s corpse to bury him and end their relationship 205 206.

She later defeats Luo Hun with Slightly Stronger and Burning Spirit. Before dying, he warns that the gate beneath Azure Sparrow will attract other Sages. Unwilling to stake her subjects’ lives on whatever lies beyond it, she considers discussing a nationwide relocation with Yun Che 215 216.

Imperial Defense and the Holy Domain

Hostile Sages repeatedly exploit Xiangling’s ties to Yun Che. Elder Shan threatens a child to force information from her, while Granny E attacks Ye Qingshuang. Xiangling attempts to intervene despite being only an Emperor; Yun Che arrives before Granny E can tear off her friend’s arm 265 271.

After reaching Emperor Realm Peak, she defeats Feng Shu and secures a Holy Domain entry spot for Yun Che’s party. Later, she rejects Abyss Empire crown prince Yu Heng’s marriage proposal despite his threat of war. Yun Che expels him, and the couple discusses strengthening Azure Sparrow against threats drawn by its spiritual energy and underground gate 277 283 338.

God Kingdom Expansion and Demon Wars

As Azure Sparrow develops into a God Kingdom, Xiangling reports on the gains from integrating the Great Sun Holy Dynasty’s fortune and resources. Yun Che leaves her in charge of the Incense Contest and later assigns her to a defensive line when the newly fused Azure Luan Glazed Light God Kingdom faces invasion 608 634.

During the demon crisis, she and Ye Qingshuang fuse into a Twin Divine Body to reinforce Yun Che against incoming Great Demon Lords. Xiangling later defeats Ye Huang in single combat, drawing the attention of God Ancestors seeking a powerful host body 799 817.

When Yuan Che takes over Yun Che’s original body, she immediately recognizes that his unfamiliar demeanor does not belong to the man she knows. She joins the attack against him and, despite being seized by the throat, wounds his divine soul with a talisman 844 845.

Earth and Immortal Expeditions

On Earth, Xiangling delivers Yun Che’s anonymous gifts to Gu Yan and Gu Yao, then explores Dragon Country’s food, shopping, cinema, and cars with him. Her first drive in their new Bentley turns into a confrontation after Chi Zhanting provokes her from a Ferrari 900.

She accompanies Yun Che into the Ten Thousand Woods Realm, where poisonous miasma drains their Immortal Origin Power. Later, she prevents Ying Wushuang and two companions from escaping and kills all three with four-colored flames 920 924.

After waiting a hundred thousand years for Yun Che’s return, she emerges from seclusion and immediately supplies the intelligence gathered during his absence. She participates in the subsequent investigations and battles, condenses her Sea of Fire phenomenon, and awakens the Divine Flame Curse Eye Pupil Technique against the Heavenly Secret Old Daoist 1022 1026 1029 1044 1063.

Alternate Fates

• Parallel-world outcome: Ye Qingshuang reports that the Land of Shells destroyed Azure Sparrow in the third year after Yun Che’s death. That world’s Xiangling died protecting Azure Sparrow Academy students as they escaped 437.
