Lianxin

Biodata

Power Progression

Lianxin’s innate Ninth Grade standing is distinct from his cultivated realm. Before beginning cultivation, he could possess Ninth Grade defenses and authority while remaining Gradeless 218 443 480.

• Realm suppression: On returning to the Huaxia Realm Domain, his effective cultivation was suppressed to Third Grade. His Ninth Grade standing still allowed him to bear the Authority of Space, though using it was strenuous 593.

Background / History

Origins and His First Meeting with Li Yang

Lianxin originated in the Lotus Domain as a seed intended to become the foundation of a new Astral Realm. His mission required him to enter the Spatial Rift, establish a new Lotus Domain, and remain as the new world’s hidden foundation 552 553.

Long before their apparent first meeting, Lianxin encountered Li Yang as a wandering Power of Chaos that had entered the Lotus Domain from another world. He repeatedly communicated with her, helping her recover her awareness. They spent an immense span of time together, and he eventually brought her into his castle 580 590 591.

Li Yang described her former world and offered knowledge that he could use when creating his own. Lianxin later departed to search the spatial rifts, but Daowu forcibly dragged him out before he found a way to create a world 591.

During the following 900,000 years, he concealed his awareness from hostile beings. One exception was the Human Emperor’s lingering consciousness: when her Fortune Spirit needed a host, Lianxin repeatedly described Li Yang’s vitality, determination, and affinity with plants. Without realizing it, he preserved memories of her within the Fortune Spirit 591.

Captivity and Awakening

The Fenglie Clan held Lianxin captive and regarded him as a valuable sacred treasure. Humanity acquired him during the conflict associated with the Fenglie invasion twenty-eight years before his awakening. He was believed to be a seed left by an ancient divine lotus, capable of helping an Eighth Grade Star Wielder advance 42 423.

Si Kui spent twenty-eight years preparing to absorb him without knowing he was sentient. The ice-crystal coffin blocked life force and left him almost dead; Huaxia Realm Domain suppression further weakened him 110 119 209.

After sensing Li Yang’s thoughts about painfully slow cultivation, Lianxin entered her dream and sought help. Li Yang interrupted Si Kui’s attempted fusion, preventing severe heavenly punishment. Once given water, he manifested as a palm-sized human, later maintained with Si Kui’s assistance 106 112 119 128.

Life with Li Yang

Lianxin entered a Symbiotic Contract with Li Yang, hoping that she would eventually become strong enough to take him home. Although he could not explain it, her familiar aura made him feel safe 423.

He became her constant companion, sharing lifespan, keeping watch, and protecting her Spirit Sea. Li Yang publicly introduced him as a member of the Nature Pavilion rather than treating him as a possession or cultivation resource 169 210.

His true lotus form also became the reference for Li Yang’s pear-blossom Star Soul. This gave the otherwise poor-quality Star Soul a chance-based transformation into Ninth Grade 287 288 290.

Devouring the God King of Time

When Li Yang faced mortal danger, Lianxin devoured the God King of Time without hesitation. The act forced him into cultivation and left him unable to purify what he had consumed. He considered stopping permanently rather than continuing through devouring, even though this would weaken him and endanger Li Yang through their contract 499.

Li Yang refused to abandon him and sought another method. Si Kui arranged for him to learn the Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra, with preparations involving Ninth Grade lotus seeds and a return to the Lotus Domain 517.

Return to the Lotus Domain and the Heart Worm

Li Yang, Lianxin, and the Flower of Evil reached his emerald castle in the Lotus Domain, seeking lotus seeds to help resolve his condition. Black monsters overwhelmed the domain, and its will expelled the group. Lianxin was separated from the others and returned to the Spatial Rift 520 523.

There, his recovered memories revealed that the place he had truly needed to return to was not the Lotus Domain, but the rift where he was meant to create a new world. He tried to send Li Yang away and fulfill his mission despite its extraordinarily low chance of success 552 553.

His Heart Worm was his attachment to the old world. Through Li Yang, he had experienced friendship, family bonds, and desires incompatible with the absolute isolation his original mission demanded. Erasing their memories would not undo that change 553.

Li Yang persuaded him to acknowledge that he wanted to leave with her. He ultimately relinquished world creation in favor of protecting the existing world, and she returned to rescue him 553 555 564.

Cultivation and the Authority of Space

During his rescue, Lianxin seized the Authority of Space from the God King of Space. He did not devour its former wielder: his refusal reflected both his own principles and his recognition that the Dao of Devouring was corrupting the Lotus Domain 564 567.

Containing an authority at Fifth Grade caused agonizing backlash. Li Yang eased his pain with the Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra and spent lifespan to raise his cultivation. Together, they developed a self-sustaining cycle: he grew Ninth Grade Lotus Seeds, she harvested lifespan from them, and that lifespan funded further advancement 567 568 569.

After reaching Divine Venerable, Lianxin supported Li Yang in battle by precisely teleporting Huaxia’s forces into changing formations, reducing casualties and increasing their combined strength 570 576.

Li Yang’s Loss and Later Life

When Li Yang collapsed after the Power of Chaos was purified, Lianxin nearly succumbed to overwhelming hatred and despair. Despite Huaxia’s suppression, he created an isolated space that even Si Kui could not break and attempted to save Li Yang by forcing his Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul into her body 595.

He continued guarding her during her absence. In the later side stories, he works beside the recovered Li Yang, sharing an office with her and helping manage the complicated expansion and reorganization of the military academies’ departments 596 600.

Appearance

• Original form: A snow-white lotus heart. Although not literally a lotus flower, his human transformation emerges from a blooming lotus 106 288.
• Miniature form: A palm-sized figure with exquisite features and elaborate snow-white clothing resembling layered lotus petals. He commonly sits on Li Yang’s shoulder like an ornament 106 112.
• Adult form: Tall and slender, with ankle-length silver hair, exceptionally fair skin, and long, narrow eyes. His beauty is described as pure, sacred, and transcending gender 288 518.
• Emotional changes: His face and even the tips of his petal-like clothing turn pink when embarrassed 379.
• Spatial Rift attire: Replaces his elaborate lotus robes with a soft, snow-white gauze garment 551.
• Human features: His initial form was influenced by Li Yang as the first person to see him transform. He later no longer needs to maintain the miniature form 112 288 600.

Personality

Lianxin is courteous, gentle, and easily embarrassed. He habitually addresses Li Yang as “Fellow Daoist,” blushes at her praise, and becomes flustered when teased. His immense age initially contrasts with his limited worldly experience: much of his life passed in isolation or feigned death 112 118 119.

He trusts Li Yang deeply and supports her without condemning her for necessary violence. When she fears that killing is changing her, he recognizes her distress and reminds her that some difficult actions still have to be taken 175.

His refusal to devour others is not simply helplessness. Even after abandoning his original mission, he refuses an easy path to power because he does not want to harm the Lotus Domain through the Dao of Devouring 567.

Although often dismissed by the Flower of Evil as naïve, Lianxin can be perceptive. He recognizes Xuanyuan’s self-interest and understands that Li Yang responds differently to genuine sincerity and calculated generosity 433 471.

His strongest insecurity is being unable to help Li Yang. He compares himself unfavorably with the Flower of Evil, but gains confidence when she explains how essential their shared lifespan is to her survival 258 443. His later choice to remain with her replaces an inherited mission with a personally chosen commitment 553 564 592.

Abilities & Skills

Symbiotic Contract and Lifespan Sharing

Lianxin and Li Yang share a life and maintain closely linked Spirit Seas 258 449.

• His affection, happiness, and concern repeatedly unlock lifespan for Li Yang; he initially does not understand why this happens 119 554.
• Their shared lifespan makes large-scale use of Risking Life possible 258.
• Their connection enables rapid mental communication, scouting, and warnings 169.
• Li Yang can enter the completed Life Guardian Formation because it has already accepted Lianxin 140.
• Their symbiotic connection persists even when they are physically separated 523.
• The bond can become dangerous to Li Yang if his standing falls too far below hers 499.

Feigned Death and Aura Concealment

Lianxin can suppress his presence so thoroughly that he appears to be an inanimate object 112 187.

• His stillness and concealed presence frustrate a Soul Fragment’s attempt to devour him 187.
• He extends concealment to the Noisy Pot and nearly thirty thousand Star Weapons 228 248.
• Si Kui’s barrier suppresses the pressure of his innate authority; combined with feigned death and symbiosis, this prevents even Xuanyuan from noticing him 449.
• The protection is not absolute: Mental Invasion of Li Yang’s Spirit Sea could reveal him 449.

Spiritual Protection and Purification

Lianxin guards Li Yang’s mind and helps stabilize her emotions 372 488.

• Resists the Flower of Evil’s mental influence and purifies its parasitic spores 140 300.
• Helps Li Yang recover from overwhelming Heavenly Fortune and warns her against dangerous exposure to Authorities of God 403 456 465.
• Calms her killing intent during infiltration 488.
• A piece of his lotus garment can protect Li Qingchen’s heart meridian at a critical moment 373.
• His protection can be bypassed if an enemy isolates him from Li Yang 372.
• Devouring the God King of Time creates a problem beyond his ordinary purification ability 499 509.

Authority of Space

Lianxin gains control of the Authority of Space through his connection to the Lotus Domain’s power of origin 564.

• Spatial barrier: Places him between presence and absence, making an opponent’s attacks unable to touch him 568.
• Kongzhi Blade: An invisible spatial attack that pierces an enemy’s chest 568.
• Spatial teleportation: Rapidly moves allies into coordinated offensive and defensive formations 576.
• Created spaces: Constructs an environment suitable for cultivating lotus seeds 568.
• Limits: Initially cannot use many inherited spatial skills because of his low realm. Prematurely containing the authority causes severe pain and requires extensive cultivation and sacred resources to stabilize 567 568 570.

Power of Time

After devouring the God King of Time, Lianxin can invoke its Power of Time 523.

• Temporarily restrains the black monsters attacking the Lotus Domain 523.
• Using it at Fifth Grade leaves him visibly distressed; the Flower of Evil intervenes to suppress the surging power 523.

Sparse Words, Natural Heart Sutra

Lianxin learns the Nature Department’s cultivation method as an alternative to advancing through devouring 517 568.

• Eases the backlash of the Authority of Space 567.
• Helps address the effects of consuming the God King of Time 568.
• His version is identical to Li Yang’s and can develop into a Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul, allowing him to contain Authorities of God 566.
• He later possesses a Myriad Phenomena Origin Soul and attempts to use it to save Li Yang 595.

Lotus Seed Cultivation

Lianxin creates a water-filled space with simulated Holy Heart Water to grow lotus seeds 568.

• His seeds acquire the Power of Nature through his cultivation method 569.
• Each harvested seed grants Li Yang 200,000 years of lifespan and maximum lifespan 569.
• He becomes able to grow ten seeds at a time; under the small Realm Domain’s time acceleration, this yields two million years of each lifespan measure per Huaxia day 569.
• Higher cultivation improves the size and stability of the growing space 569.
• He and Li Yang keep the true efficiency secret to avoid attracting dangerous attention 569.

Innate Perception and Knowledge

• Senses valuable treasures and hidden water vapor 212 351.
• Possesses inborn knowledge appropriate to a Ninth Grade Innate Sacred Object and can analyze Li Yang’s cultivation 417.
• Suppresses the Noisy Pot’s sword spirit, allowing Li Yang to use its weapon-strengthening ability safely 244.

Possessions

• Lotus garments — Petal-like clothing with protective uses. His robe can also hold countless lotus seeds, which appear as dark patterns along its hem 373 522.
• Emerald castle — His home in the Lotus Domain, protected by a barrier he can admit companions through. The Flower of Evil calls it the best home Mother provided 520.
• Stored lotus seeds — Treasures he repeatedly promises to give Li Yang as repayment for helping him 423 433.

Relationships

• Li Yang — Symbiotic partner, closest companion, and eventual romantic partner. Their connection predates her human life in the Astral Realm; she later explicitly calls him the person she loves. By the final side story, they share both affectionate intimacy and administrative work 590 591 592 600.
• Si Kui — Initially intends to absorb him, then helps preserve his human form and asks him to protect Li Yang. Later accepts him as her disciple and prepares his battle-breakthrough training 106 128 566 568.
• Flower of Evil — A fellow Lotus Domain being born at the same time, with contrasting temperament and cultivation choices. Their antagonistic exchanges coexist with practical cooperation; he helps restrain Lianxin’s unstable Power of Time and later transfers the Authority of Evil to him 400 523 580.
• Mother / Lotus Domain — His birthplace and the source of his original world-creation mission. He refuses to follow the Dao of Devouring because it harms her 552 567.
• Human Emperor’s lingering consciousness — Consults him about a host for her Fortune Spirit. His repeated descriptions of Li Yang become embedded memories within it 591.
• Daowu / God King of Space — Forcibly removes him from the Spatial Rift and obstructs his original mission. Lianxin later takes the Authority of Space without devouring him 552 564 567.
