Background and History

Earth and the Heavenly Revelation Sect

In his previous life, Liu Yi died suddenly while working overtime. He reincarnated in another world and entered the Heavenly Revelation Sect at eighteen. After 127 years of exhausting formation work, his accumulated resentment and fatigue awakened his memories of Earth. His mixed Five Elements Spirit Root had left him at only the seventh layer of Qi Refinement, facing a one-year deadline to reach Foundation Establishment 1.

He stopped working overtime and devoted himself to the Scripture Pavilion. With help from Qian Duoduo and the deductive power of his Spacetime Realm, he began improving cultivation methods rather than accepting his poor aptitude. His first public upset came when he defeated Zhao Jiuxiao twice using Tai Chi Chuan and direct physical attacks 1 2 4 5.

Liu Yi was eventually expelled from the sect. A bandit stronghold became a turning point: the Spirit Stones and Soul-Shifting Spirit-Refining Great Method he obtained there helped change his prospects. When he finally returned to Liu Household Village, his parents and elder brother had already died 10 178 770.

Creating a New Martial Path

Liu Yi developed the Dao Seed Martial Dao System around the unity of essence, Qi, spirit, and Dao. He also created the Fairness System, later releasing promotion missions to expand its reach. His early system profile identified him as an unaffiliated Dao Seed cultivator, while his public nickname became “World-Saving Little Doctor” 15 19 22 269 611.

His activities brought martial cultivation into direct competition with established immortal cultivators. After defeating Zheng Siqi, he openly explained that he had turned to martial arts because his immortal-cultivation aptitude was poor. He regarded the spread of martial training among ordinary people as a first step toward weakening the unchecked power of wealthy families and immortal cultivators 46.

Pursuit and the Liu Xuan Identity

The Pure Void Sect and the Temple of the God of Light pursued Liu Yi, forcing him to conceal his movements and disrupt divination. He nevertheless counterattacked: outside Purple Star City, he killed Xu Liang and three Void Return cultivators, although the battle left him wounded. He credited the victory to surprise and his enemies' failure to understand his strength rather than treating it as an assured result 66 87 92 93.

To enter the Immortal-Devil Secret Realm without the Pure Void Sect interfering, he adopted the identity Liu Xuan. Xie Tong and Ye Qingxue recognized him during the struggle around the Life Origin Tree, but the wider public continued debating whether Liu Xuan or Liu Yi was stronger 136 159 189 215.

The conflict with the Pure Void Sect escalated when it forcibly seized seventy percent of Yue State residents' Energy Points and suppressed people attempting to leave. Liu Yi killed its cultivators in Yue State, trapped its remaining opponents, and ultimately described the sect as having been wiped out 185 190 200.

Family and the Central Continent

Liu Yi eventually acknowledged his relationship to the descendants of his elder brother, Liu Qin. He supplied the household with cultivation resources, Spirit Artifacts, and Energy Points, but forbade them from using his name to bully others. He also established the Mystic Spirit Eight Trigrams Heart-Guarding Formation around the village and attended Liu Wei and Lin Yufei's wedding before leaving to pursue further cultivation 213 214 215 216.

After reaching the Dao Soul Realm, he explored the Central Continent on foot to comprehend the Great Dao and temper his Dao heart. His travels brought him into contact with Su Yuxuan, whose knowledge of treasures repeatedly intersected with his own discoveries 225 240.

He later protected Xin State's founding ceremony by suppressing Jiang Yuan. He also completely refined the Blood Devil, provoking the hidden being behind the Blood Devil Cultivation Method, and accepted Qin State's recruitment for the campaign against the Demonic Flame Sect 339 377 423.

The Land of Exile

An increasingly dangerous heavenly tribulation forced Liu Yi to draw upon the origin energy of hundreds of millions of Cell Worlds. He subsequently cultivated in the Land of Exile, where he reached the Longevity Realm, settled temporarily in Wu Village, and defended its people against a Devil Race attack 554 558 569 575 590.

His Martial King Tribulation exposed his identity as the Dao Ancestor to a much wider audience. After completing it, he fought ten Devil Kings and defeated the Nether Devil Lord in a battle that entered the Long River of Time. He then helped the immortal kings suppress the remaining Devil Kings and proposed retaining captured devils as training opponents for the coming war 626 632 634 639 644.

High Antiquity and Emperor-Level Power

Liu Yi's Past Self traveled upstream through time and became stranded in High Antiquity. After cultivating to Quasi-Martial Emperor, he intervened in the ancient war, saved Yue Ji, and borrowed the Heavenly Dao's strength to temporarily reach the Martial Emperor Realm and suppress the Blood God. His Past Self perished, but the main body survived and inherited its insights 754 755 760 766.

These events explained Yue Ji's earlier conviction that she and Liu Yi shared a deep connection despite his having no memory of meeting her. As the causal chain closed, survivors of High Antiquity recovered memories identifying their mysterious benefactor as Liu Yi 107 760 763 766.

His main body then advanced its Cell Worlds into Small Chiliocosms and continued consolidating its timeline. At the Mystic Firmament Void Fishery, he openly displayed emperor-level power when Immortal King Jinyang threatened him over a World Stone 765 770 771 804.

Rulership and Transcendence

After accumulating sufficient Dao Source to reshape his body, Liu Yi prepared to enter the Ruler Realm. His eventual attainment strengthened the Azure Billows Realm and made him a decisive source of protection for his friends. He continued refining his treasures and later confronted three Devil Saints with Chaos Spirit Treasures 900 925 934 944 954.

At the peak of the Dao Extreme Realm, he balanced existence and nonexistence to transcend the Great Dao itself. He entered the Land of Void, created a complete chaos world, and returned to Earth. There he met the transcendent Liu Fu and discovered text beyond the Void Boundary recounting his own experiences. When a new Earth transmigrator's story appeared, the two chose to observe rather than interfere 959.

Appearance

• Black hair: Described whipping about as he confronts the Martial King Tribulation 628.
• Youthful appearance: Liu Hai initially sees him as a young man despite the generations separating them 10.
• Changing blood: During cultivation of the World Dao Body, half of his crimson blood transforms back into golden blood 207.
• Dao manifestations: His eyes repeatedly display images of worlds being created and destroyed during major cultivation advances 207 569 765.
• Disguises: Uses illusion and concealment techniques to alter his appearance and figure; Liu Xuan is a distinct assumed identity 46 214 215.

Personality

Liu Yi's rejection of exploitation is rooted in two lifetimes of overwork. He despises people who assume that everyone beneath them exists to serve them. His ambitions extend beyond personal immortality: he wants to spread knowledge, make techniques serve ordinary people, and overturn an order that leaves the weak without a means of resistance 1 46 57 210 212.

He is cautious without being passive. He conceals heavenly secrets, studies formations before breaking them, and checks that dangerous opponents are truly dead. Even after gaining overwhelming power, he prefers using his full equipment rather than taking unnecessary risks 91 93 590 954.

His concern for others coexists with calculation and ruthlessness. He rescues tomb explorers while privately thinking of their future usefulness to his cause, and he kills hostile cultivators decisively. Nevertheless, he distinguishes enemies from innocents and condemns the Blood Devil Cultivation Method for treating ordinary people as cultivation resources 33 43 177.

He deliberately preserves his humanity through personal attachments, especially Little Yellow. With his relatives, affection does not mean unconditional protection: he expects self-reliance, forbids abuse of his reputation, and refuses to become the household's permanent caretaker. His long-term dreams also include freedom, travel, and tasting delicacies across the myriad worlds 15 212 214 215 648.

• Disrupts heavenly secrets and causal traces to hinder pursuers' divination 66 93.
• Uses Fate and Cause and Effect to investigate the spread of the Blood Devil Cultivation Method 44.

Temporal Selves and Transcendence

The Three-World Supreme Technique allows him to manifest a Past Self and work toward consolidating his timeline 726 767.

• His Past Self automatically gathers the time experienced by his original body after its manifestation 726.
• His Future Self initially influences only one second of the future 726.
• Past and future manifestations increase both cultivation speed and combat strength 726.
• Interference in history carries severe karmic consequences; his Past Self dies after its intervention in High Antiquity 760.
• At Transcendence, he passes beyond Great Dao and law, enters the Land of Void, and creates a complete chaos world 959.

Equipment and Items

Principal Treasures

• His five principal innate treasures become Low-Grade Innate Spirit Treasures, then top-grade Innate Supreme Treasures 752 779.
