Background / History

Yang Tian initially operates among Shrek Academy's work-study students, where he establishes himself as the dominant figure by providing resources, assigning tasks, and using rewards to secure their assistance. He separates his shared bed from Xiao Wu's, studies the Soul Beast Compendium and Flame Radiance Descends from Heaven, and extracts the Eternal Kaleidoscope Sharingan. 5

During his early Soul Master career, he adopts the identity of the Swordsman to conceal his connection to Shrek. He presents himself to Ghost Douluo as a nameless rogue cultivator who travels with his sword, intending to use the identity to potentially infiltrate Martial Soul Hall. 46

Yang Tian later forms and leads the Holy Soul Hall, strengthening it through Soul Ring enhancement, cultivation resources, teleportation arrays, recruitment, and alliances with major factions. He negotiates with the Asura God, directs selected disciples toward Level 90 breakthroughs, and oversees Heaven Dou's attachment to the Holy Soul Hall after Emperor Xue Ye's death. 264 324 330 334

After gaining access to a World Gate, Yang Tian travels with his family to the Battle Through the Heavens world. There he becomes involved with the Yunlan Sect, Canaan Academy, the Primordial Ancient Dragon clan, and the Central State's major factions. 337 370 419
