Background

Fang Heng is a Great Qian imperial prince who spent his first sixteen years struggling against the Ten Absolute Poisons, which manifested as the gray Early Death Fate Attribute. His condition is ultimately cured through the combination of Immune to All Poisons, the Seven Stars Life Extension Array, and a Heretical Poison Pill; Early Death disappears and his lifespan returns to that of a normal Daoist cultivator. 94 165

He possesses the golden Innate Immortal Seed Fate Attribute, which transforms his Immortal Root into a divine tree manifestation. Daoist Xuanqing recognizes his potential, accepts him as a disciple, and imparts Evergreen Temple’s Wood-Thunder Cultivation Method. 2 10

Fang Heng later establishes the Ministry of Agriculture and leads the cultivation of Sacred Emperor Rice in the Daishan Secret Realm. His work and political influence place him at the center of the Great Qian court’s conflicts with the Path of God Worship, the Ghost Gate Lineage, and rival imperial factions. 42 50

After exposing Lu Zangfeng as Zhou Jueyin, one of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals, Fang Heng is rewarded with the title of Heir Prince. 82 83

Personality

Fang Heng is ambitious, resourceful, and highly pragmatic. He seeks rare resources rather than accepting lesser alternatives, carefully accumulates Destiny/Luck, and treats cultivation, artifacts, intelligence, and political connections as parts of a long-term strategy. 24 49 68

He is cautious when confronting dangers beyond his current strength. Rather than entering the God Slaying Grand Array during the clash between Emperor Yuanchu and the Yin Heavenly Emperor, he sends an External Incarnation to investigate in his place. 147

Despite his calculating nature, Fang Heng shows responsibility toward those under his protection. He investigates threats to the Sacred Emperor Rice, forbids Tuxingsun from consuming human essence, cultivates his personal guards, and seeks resources to save Lu Xiaoyang after the latter’s martial path is ruined. 50 52 91 160
