Meng An
Meng An is the son of Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue, a spear cultivator chosen to inherit Ancestral Master Archean Eon's Samsara path. He grows from a wartime child protected under a false identity into King Feather Dragon, a Creation Supremacy, and then a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence. His extraordinary early progress is inseparable from a cultivation plan designed by a predecessor; his later life tests whether he can act independently once that plan can no longer carry him forward.
Biography
A protected childhood confronts the war
Meng An and his twin sister are born while their parents serve as wartime reinforcements. After the family moves to Jiang State Capital, his parents conceal the children's identities from the Skydemon Sect and raise them in an ordinary manor under strict discipline. Meng An chooses the spear at four despite his father's attempt to teach both children the saber. His childhood training is demanding, but it remains sheltered by his parents, grandparents, and disguised demon servants. (Chapters 236 and 248–249)
That shelter first breaks when Meng An and his sister intervene on behalf of a classmate whose family is being persecuted. They deliberately allow themselves to be taken to Wang Cong so that they can establish what he has done rather than punish him on rumor alone. Once his crimes become clear, Meng An attacks with his spear, kills Wang Cong, and later accepts responsibility without shifting blame to his sister. His parents approve the children's moral judgment but teach them that exposing their unusual background can endanger everyone around them. (Chapters 249–253)
Reading the victims' dossiers and then visiting a settlement devastated by demons changes Meng An's urgency. The scale of death leaves him convinced that he cannot change the world while weak, and that anger drives his spear practice until he comprehends Force at thirteen. Because entering Archean Mountain earlier improves his chances of becoming a powerful Godfiend, he accepts a separation that may last more than a decade. He leaves his grieving family with a promise to cultivate diligently and one day fight demons beside his father. (Chapters 258 and 265–269)
The Samsara inheritance
At Archean Mountain, Meng An chooses both the Samsara Divine Body and the Samsara Black Metal Sutra. The path requires him to comprehend five elemental Intents and fuse them into Samsara Intent before he can master the body, so even his exceptional talent does not produce an immediate breakthrough. He spends three years on the foundation, practicing while other young Godfiends remain on the mountain because the surface war has become too dangerous. At sixteen, he finally masters Samsara Intent and enters the Godfiend Blood Pool. (Chapters 270, 300, and 320–329)
Becoming a Godfiend leads directly into a far more selective inheritance. Meng An passes the Samsara trial, undergoes the Nine Lifetime Samsara Heart Tempering, and becomes Ancestral Master Archean Eon's personal disciple—an exception made because humanity needs another future peak combatant. The sect keeps this status secret even from his parents and sister. The reward is not freedom but an exacting sequence of cultivation opportunities and responsibilities intended to produce an invincible Creation Supremacy capable of fighting an Imperial Lord above his nominal realm. (Chapters 330, 374, 394, and 411)
His growth remains rapid but exposes the difference between inherited comprehensiveness and lived combat mastery. After becoming a Marquis, he demonstrates seven complementary spear sets and a Samsara Domain during a family spar. His attacks, defense, and Darkstar strength are exceptional for his stage, yet Meng Chuan slips through his perception, redirects his techniques, and identifies openings that a Creation expert would exploit. Meng An accepts the lesson rather than defending his pride. He later guards Jiang State Capital as King Feather Dragon and becomes a Supremacy roughly twenty years after humanity's decisive interception of the fifth Firmament army. (Chapters 417, 440–441, 479, 485–487, and 524)
Victory and the compulsory departure
As the demon war reaches its conclusion, Meng An is no longer merely a protected heir. He reports the demons' attack on the world membranes and initially urges immediate interception, but trusts Meng Chuan's counterintuitive decision to let the enemy commit fully before striking. At the demon-sage passageway, Meng An stands with the other Supremacies and recognizes that the prepared Heaven Earth demon sages still exceed what he can safely handle. Watching his father erase the final invasion confirms both humanity's victory and the scale still separating him from the strongest cultivators. (Chapters 513–516 and 529–536)
Victory also removes the exemption that allowed Meng An to remain home. He tells his father that a personal disciple must leave Archean Eon Realm for a distant mystic realm within three years, and he insists on departing early because his cultivation serves another purpose he is not yet ready to explain. The choice costs him the remaining time of aging relatives, but he has already endured the predecessor's trials and believes delay will waste the path they opened. His family gathers for a farewell, and his father equips his single true body with rare emergency protections. (Chapters 543 and 545–546)
Meng An leaves despite not knowing the destination's river zone or when he can return. He crosses the world membrane, looks back at his father and homeworld, and allows the inheritance's teleportation power to carry him beyond ordinary contact. The departure fulfills his decision at thirteen on a far larger scale: he again exchanges family proximity for an earlier chance to grow. This time the risk is greater because a Supremacy with only one true body can die permanently in the outer realm, and even Meng Chuan cannot locate the hidden mystic realm after following their karmic connection. (Chapters 543, 546, 568, and 588)
Earth Cloud Mystic Realm and a hidden family
The destination is Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, where Ancestral Master Archean Eon has arranged unusually favorable cultivation conditions. Meng An also discovers that Long Han, a woman with whom he made a life-and-death promise during the Nine Lifetime Samsara Heart Tempering, is real and lives there. They reunite, marry, and cultivate together. When Long Han becomes pregnant, they withdraw from the more dangerous Heaven realm and accept roughly a century in the mortal world so their child can grow without their enemies discovering him. (Chapters 588 and 609)
Family protection does not halt Meng An's cultivation, but it changes its setting and purpose. He reaches the perfected Heaven Earth realm while living quietly and studies how to perfect a body whose details cannot simply duplicate his master's. After completing that body and becoming a perfected Imperial Lord, he advances to the Tribulation realm under the inherited plan and survives his first three tribulations in quick succession. He and Long Han hide their ranks from Meng Yu, teach him for nearly a century, and then let him cultivate without relying on their status. (Chapters 588, 609, and 620)
The family's secrecy becomes a survival mechanism when Grandsire Three Stones reaches the Sixth Tribulation realm and enters the Realm Palace. Meng An destroys the true body stationed there, warns Long Han, and uses the Spacetime Teleportation Talisman to return home while she removes every memory that could reveal their child. He knows that fleeing gives the others their best chance to negotiate, yet describes himself as a deserter because he has left his wife and son behind. The decision shows the same discipline he learned defending city passes: emotional pain does not excuse choosing a strategy that would doom everyone. (Chapters 608–610)
Meng Chuan's intervention rescues Long Han and Meng Yu, destroys one of Three Stones's true bodies, and removes the enemy from Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. Reunited with his family, Meng An takes responsibility for the crisis even though Long Han rejects the blame. He then accepts authority over the mystic realm's practical affairs while his father becomes its master, and agrees that Meng Yu should not learn how powerful his family is. The choice denies his son effortless privilege and deliberately replaces Meng An's own tightly scheduled upbringing with a path that requires independent judgment. (Chapters 615 and 619–620)
From inherited momentum to a chosen life
The Third Tribulation realm marks the point where the predecessor's arrangements stop solving Meng An's problems. His excellent cultivation conditions and powerful Imperial Lord techniques carry him through the first three tribulations, but he then remains stuck for centuries. Meng Chuan observes that the prescribed route kept his son under constant pressure and built an exceptional foundation, yet left him less practiced at finding a path when the instructions ended. Meng An's difficulty is therefore not a collapse of talent; it is the consequence of moving from a mapped inheritance into the uncertainty every higher Tribulation cultivator must face alone. (Chapters 609–620 and 653)
Meng An eventually comprehends a Fourth Tribulation law, though his corresponding physical body formulation initially remains incomplete. His father estimates that the Fifth Tribulation realm may be his lifetime limit despite a foundation ranked among the strongest in human history. By the time Meng Chuan observes him again on Planet Azure, Meng An has completed the Fourth Tribulation advancement. He and Long Han run a Treasure Repository near an Eternal Tower river-zone headquarters, living among stronger experts without attempting to dominate the planet. (Chapters 697 and 744)
The settled life is a personal development rather than a defeat. After centuries of severe trials and compulsory urgency, Meng An allows himself to enjoy comfort with his wife; he also acts as a trusted intermediary when outsiders seek an audience with his father. By the latest account, top factions know his identity and family connection, and a Seventh Tribulation Eminence has visited the couple. Their concealed son eventually reads that intelligence and realizes who his father and grandfather are. Meng An remains alive as a Fourth Tribulation Eminence, his family secret finally overtaken by Meng Chuan's prominence across spacetime. (Chapters 744, 746, and 759–761)
Appearance and personality
As a youth, Meng An resembles Meng Chuan but is described as more composed and less unruly. He has an extraordinary physique, focuses on spear practice rather than painting, and becomes a handsome young man by sixteen. When he returns from Earth Cloud Mystic Realm centuries later, his appearance has changed little even though he seems steadier and stronger. The corpus does not establish a detailed permanent outfit or unusual physical marking for him. (Chapters 269–270, 320, and 608)
Meng An is earnest, direct, and strongly protective. As a child he investigates injustice before acting, accepts responsibility after killing Wang Cong, and asks that punishment fall on him rather than his sister. As an adult he gives up Heaven-realm cultivation time to protect his unborn child and later endures the shame of retreat because it gives his wife and son a better chance to survive. His straightforward spear style mirrors this tendency, but his decisions show that directness does not prevent strategic restraint. (Chapters 250–253, 268, and 588–610)
Discipline is both his strength and his central limitation. He willingly separates from his family, endures cruel inherited trials, and rarely permits himself to slacken. He listens when his father exposes flaws in his spear arts and accepts that higher cultivation requires correcting wrong paths. Yet the same highly structured upbringing leaves him uncertain after his master's guidance runs out. His later contentment on Planet Azure shows him finally choosing a comfortable pace rather than treating relentless advancement as his only legitimate life. (Chapters 269, 411, 441, 609–620, and 744)
Abilities and cultivation
Meng An follows the orthodox Godfiend path built around the Samsara Divine Body and Ancestral Master Archean Eon's spear inheritance. His documented progression runs from the Realm of Force through Godfiend, Marquis, Regis, Creation, perfected Imperial Lord, and Fourth Tribulation levels. The inheritance makes his foundation unusually broad and gives him prepared opportunities, but the source repeatedly distinguishes those advantages from the independent insight required at higher Tribulation realms.
Samsara Divine Body
Meng An chooses the Samsara Divine Body after studying the twelve transcendent-grade bodies. Its initial requirement is unusually demanding: he must comprehend five elemental Intents and fuse them into Samsara Intent before challenging the Life-and-Death juncture. He needs three years despite reaching Force at thirteen, then succeeds at sixteen. The resulting path supports offense, defense, and a five-colored Samsara Domain rather than specializing in a single narrow advantage. (Chapters 268–270, 320, and 328–330)
The body continues to require personal adaptation. Ancestral Master Archean Eon provides a route toward a perfected body, but Meng An's exact realization cannot simply copy his master's, and he spends part of his mortal-world retreat solving the remaining flaws. He ultimately perfects it, reaches the perfected Imperial Lord realm, and uses that foundation to survive three rapid Physical Body Tribulations. Later, after comprehending a Fourth Tribulation law, he still has to create the matching physical body formulation before the realm is complete. This formulation requirement is a demonstrated bottleneck in his progression. (Chapters 588, 609, 620, 646, and 697–744)
Samsara spear arts and domains
Meng An's spear style begins as direct, forceful, and balanced between attack and defense. Force lets his thrusts gather Heaven and Earth powers into flaming spear beams. The inherited spear system later gives him multiple complementary sets: during his spar with Meng Chuan, seven sets chain speed, variation, and defense together, and his silver spear becomes one with his body. He combines the weapon with Darkstar and Samsara Domains, using the five-colored field and rotating spear to block an incoming beam. (Chapters 254 and 268–269, 417, and 440–441)
His technique develops from Force to Samsara Intent and then the Realm of Dao, eventually reaching the perfected Heaven Earth realm. The early spar also supplies clear limits: ordinary Regis-level attacks can be redirected by superior technique, his domain does not guarantee that he can perceive a faster opponent, and apparently solid defense still contains openings. At the later Heaven Earth level, the inheritance predicts combat above his nominal cultivation realm, but the corpus does not show a full late-stage battle from which to quantify his Fourth Tribulation spear's range or destructive scale. (Chapters 330, 374, 440–441, 534, and 588)
Nine Lifetime Samsara Heart Tempering
The Nine Lifetime Samsara Heart Tempering is an inherited mental trial accessed through a rare arrangement connected to Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. Meng An experiences nine lives that remain vivid enough for him to remember their people and events as real, and the trial helps explain the inheritance's high expectations for his Essence Soul and will. Long Han undergoes the same tempering; their life-and-death promise within it motivates Meng An to seek the distant mystic realm rather than treating the experience as a disposable illusion. (Chapters 330, 441, 545, and 609)
The corpus does not describe Meng An freely activating the tempering in battle or using it as an attack. Its demonstrated functions are trial, heart cultivation, relationship formation, and preparation for later advancement. It strengthens the foundation on which the personal-disciple plan operates, but does not remove emotional conflict or guarantee endless progress: Meng An still suffers guilt during the Three Stones crisis and later struggles once he has to chart his own Tribulation path. (Chapters 609–620)
Tribulation progression and multiple true bodies
At the perfected Imperial Lord realm, Meng An perfects his body and becomes a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence. He passes the first three tribulations quickly under his master's preparation and gains the multiple-true-body survival structure of his path: during the Earth Cloud crisis, one body occupies the Realm Palace while another remains with Long Han, and later one stays in Archean Eon Realm while the other returns to his family. Destruction of one body is a major loss but not immediate total death. (Chapters 608–609 and 619)
His Third Tribulation cultivation is insufficient to defeat a newly advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence or control Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. He can activate the Realm Palace's inherited arrays, but Grandsire Three Stones still overwhelms that advantage, and only a Sixth Tribulation Eminence can bear the burden of refining the mystic realm itself. Meng An later reaches the Fourth Tribulation realm after resolving his physical formulation, while Meng Chuan considers the Fifth a plausible limit. That estimate is an informed judgment, not a confirmed endpoint; his latest demonstrated level is Fourth Tribulation. (Chapters 609–620, 697, and 744)
Judgment, protection, and instruction
Meng An's practical strengths include threat assessment and the willingness to protect others at personal cost. He identifies when immediate combat would doom his family, preserves Long Han's severed memories while retreating, and correctly uses a Spacetime Teleportation Talisman to cross an otherwise impossible distance. As an administrator, he and Long Han later manage Earth Cloud Mystic Realm's affairs and operate a Treasure Repository. His limits as a teacher are explicit: because his own route was arranged in detail, Meng Chuan considers him less effective at guiding others toward independent discovery. (Chapters 485, 608–620, 744, and 746)

- Long Han: His wife and partner from the Nine Lifetime Samsara Heart Tempering. They reunite in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, cultivate and raise their son together, survive the Three Stones crisis, and eventually choose a settled life on Planet Azure.
- Meng Yu: Meng An conceals his rank from his son to protect him and prevent inherited status from weakening his independence. He loves Meng Yu but accepts that the younger cultivator must face much of his path without parental rescue.
- Qin Wu: Qin Wu helps guard Meng An's secret inheritance, teaches him as one of many Archean Mountain disciples, and later regards his strength as exceeding Qin Wu's own before Meng An leaves for the outer realm.
Items
No distinct qualifying personal inventory is assigned to Meng An in the item manifest. Before his outer-realm departure, Meng Chuan gives him a Void Transference Talisman, a Spacetime Teleportation Talisman, and two Undying Talismans as emergency protections rather than signature weapons. Meng An later uses the spacetime talisman to escape Earth Cloud Mystic Realm and return home during the Three Stones crisis. (Chapters 545–546 and 608–610)
