Background

Five years before the story, Chen Xuan saved a child from an icy river during winter and awakened in the Tianxuan Continent. He was accepted as one of Qin Xiuqing's two direct disciples because of his special physique and exceptional cultivation talent; the other was Ling Qingzhu. Qin Xiuqing later arranged their marriage. 1 4

Before the divorce, Chen Xuan defeated every younger-generation challenger who came to Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace over his marriage to Ling Qingzhu. His standing made the marriage a major event among the Eastern Xuan Region's super sects. 6

After Ling Qingzhu falsely accused him before Qin Xiuqing, Chen Xuan pursued separation and rapidly increased his strength. Following his breakthrough to Four Yuan Nirvana, he left Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace for the Great Yan Dynasty, intending to settle matters involving Lin Dong. 4 6 7

He later formally renounced Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace after Ma Fengbin attempted to force him back and seize the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. 36
