Xue Feng

Xue Feng, titled Marquis Clear Peace, is a prodigious Archean Mountain sword cultivator, the fifth son of King Calm Sea, and Yan Jin's elder half-brother. A recurring peer and comrade of Meng Chuan, he combines rapid cultivation with sustained service in the demon war. His attempts to care for Yan Jin despite their father's treatment of Yan Jin's mother, followed by his death at Yellow Oscillate's hands, leave a lasting mark on both men.

Biography

Brilliant disciple and divided family

Xue Feng first appears as a white-robed swordsman visiting Yan Jin after a decade apart. He had treated his younger brother well in childhood but entered Archean Mountain at thirteen, leaving before Yan Jin's later suffering in the Xue household. When Yan Jin rejects his attempt to explain King Calm Sea's conduct, Xue Feng does not demand reconciliation; he says that even if Yan Jin refuses the family, he still acknowledges him as a brother. An invisible domain keeps their conversation private, but it cannot bridge the resentment created by circumstances Xue Feng did not witness. (Chapters 95–96)

His reputation is already formidable when Meng Chuan reaches Archean Mountain. Xue Feng had attained Unity at ten, Force at thirteen, and become a Godfiend at fifteen; his family's resources gave him an unusually deep foundation, while his own comprehension produced Sword Soul by twenty-two and multiple Black Metal-level moves. The sect makes his Nine Mystical Caves trial correspondingly difficult. He passes only after reaching the Great Solar realm and perfecting the Black Sand Fiend Body, showing that his early gifts are tested against a higher standard rather than treated as a substitute for completing the required cultivation. (Chapters 95–101, 110, and 342)

For younger disciples, Xue Feng functions as a benchmark rather than a constant companion. Meng Chuan hears of him before admission and measures the pace of his own progress against Xue Feng's. Their later interactions remain those of fellow Archean disciples participating in the same war, not a rivalry whose emotional terms the corpus defines. Xue Feng's eagerness to leave the mountain after years of cultivation is stated directly: he wants to fight demons, and his advancement makes that service possible. (Chapters 95–96, 110–111, and 136)

World Gap breakthrough and efforts for Yan Jin

Xue Feng joins Meng Chuan, King Calm Sea, King True Martial, and Yan Chitong in the World Gap, where the forming world's laws provide unusually clear cultivation opportunities. He obeys the Regis Godfiends' protection plan during danger and studies the displayed profundities between encounters. There he integrates the Golden Wind and Black Sand paths, expands black light across a five-kilometer area, reaches the Dharma Domain realm, and masters the Fifteen Golden Wind Swords. The achievement marks him as a possible future Creation Supremacy and attracts Black Sand Grotto-Heaven's interest in inheriting its core lineage. (Chapters 301–309 and 319)

Treasure hunting in the World Gap also gives Xue Feng a way to help Yan Jin without forcing contact. He obtains an ice lotus whose ice and fire share one source, verifies with King Calm Sea that it suits Yan Jin, and then asks Meng Chuan to deliver it under Meng Chuan's own name because he expects his brother to reject an expensive Xue-family gift. He states that the Xue family owes Yan Jin too much. The plan preserves the gift's practical benefit at the cost of recognition, and Meng Chuan agrees after seeing how carefully Xue Feng accounts for Yan Jin's hostility. (Chapters 307–308)

Archean Mountain later agrees to transfer Xue Feng to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven after he becomes a Regis Godfiend so that he can receive the Black Sand lineage's complete heritage. Xue Feng leaves the decision to the sect but asks to serve in the same city as Yan Jin first. During their assignment he spars without easing his attacks, correctly judging that obvious mercy would make Yan Jin refuse the practice, and gives him the Myriad Sword Sect's core legacy once Yan Jin can receive it. Xue Feng then turns the legacy over to Archean Mountain and requests only that the sect look after his family after his transfer. (Chapters 335–336)

Two years of shared duty improve the brothers' relationship. Xue Feng helps Yan Jin master Snow Drift, then writes to King Calm Sea asking him to acknowledge the wrong done to Yan Jin and his mother. The reply—“Defeat me before questioning me”—leaves Xue Feng hurt; the narration directly records his resentment and his conclusion that his father bears most of the responsibility. These stated reactions define the episode without requiring speculation about feelings the text does not give him. He remains beside Yan Jin as a guardian when demon attacks force their city team back into battle. (Chapters 336–338)

Last defense and legacy

At Windflow City, a mass attack draws the three guardians in different directions before the disguised Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate targets Xue Feng. Xue Feng's Bone-Locking Stance, the strongest Fifteen Golden Wind Swords move he can then execute, carries ordinary Regis-level strength when combined with his Black Sand Fiend Body. It still cannot penetrate or even appreciably slow Yellow Oscillate's protective domain. Xue Feng activates a sect-issued bracelet, gains a cyan protective envelope and burst of speed, and flees away from the city rather than draw the pursuer through its residents and fellow guardians. (Chapters 338–340)

Yellow Oscillate repeatedly strikes until the bracelet's stored power is exhausted, then kills Xue Feng with the Stygian Saber Art before Meng Chuan or Li Guan can intervene. Xue Feng's body is completely destroyed, leaving only a cenotaph. The text records his final thought that many fellow disciples have died and now it is his turn; Meng Chuan's later painting depicts him as unafraid and purely calm, prepared for a guardian Godfiend's death. Those are the corpus's explicit descriptions of his last state, not an inferred claim that he felt no pain, regret, or other unrecorded emotion. (Chapters 339–342)

His death immediately reshapes the survivors. Meng Chuan tells Yan Jin the truth about the ice lotus, paints Xue Feng among the fallen, and later hunts Yellow Oscillate; his failure to arrive in time also strengthens his determination to improve his speed. Yan Jin acknowledges Xue Feng as his brother and later remembers that his care helped him emerge from his former condition. Much later, Meng Chuan and Yan Jin still name him among the war's sacrifices, and the final chapter describes his death as an enduring pain for Yan Jin. Xue Feng's latest state is therefore deceased, with his importance carried by posthumous memory rather than a hidden survival. (Chapters 340–342, 355, 360, 469, 536, and 766)

Appearance and personality

Xue Feng is introduced as a white-robed young man carrying a sword, with an aura stronger than the local Jadesun Palace Lord. In later wartime scenes he is described as handsome and wears black robes. He can smile with a warmth likened to a spring breeze when approaching Yan Jin, though his manner becomes markedly different when he deals with King Calm Sea. The corpus does not establish unusual bodily features beyond this clothing, bearing, and cultivated aura. (Chapters 95, 301, and 307–308)

He is disciplined, talented, and conscious of the obligations attached to strength. His wish to leave Archean Mountain is explicitly connected to fighting demons, and he continues guarding cities even after another sect offers a path better matched to his inheritance. He can be teasing and confident with fellow guardians, as when he compares cultivation ages with the senior Marquis Lu Cheng, but the record does not support turning that confidence into contempt or a generalized claim of arrogance. (Chapters 96, 110–111, 335–338)

Xue Feng's family conduct is persistent without being coercive. He tries indirect gifts, arranges shared service, teaches through full-strength sparring, preserves a legacy until Yan Jin can receive it, and finally asks his father to make amends. The narrative directly shows nervousness, expectation, joy, helplessness, resentment, and hurt at particular points. Outside those scenes, his emotional state is not specified; his personality is better grounded in the actions he repeats than in assumptions about what he must privately feel. (Chapters 95, 307–308, and 335–338)

Abilities and cultivation

Xue Feng is a sword-focused Marquis Godfiend whose cultivation joins the Black Sand Fiend Body with the Fifteen Golden Wind Swords. His progression is unusually fast: early Force and Unity achievements lead to Sword Soul, Great Solar cultivation, the peak of the Realm of Dao, and finally the Dharma Domain realm around age fifty. He dies before becoming a Regis Godfiend, so later predictions about Creation or Seamless potential remain unrealized possibilities rather than attained realms. (Chapters 95–110, 309, 338, and 342)

Foundation, Essence Soul, and realm progression

Xue Feng's early foundation is roughly five times that of an ordinary cultivator because the Xue family supplies exceptional resources, but the text also credits his own comprehension. He reaches Unity at ten, Force at thirteen, becomes a Godfiend at fifteen, and develops Sword Soul at twenty-two. He masters three Black Metal moves before completing Archean Mountain's departure test, then perfects the Black Sand Fiend Body and advances to the Great Solar realm. This foundation raises his ceiling and endurance; it does not let him skip the sect's deliberately harsher Nine Mystical Caves trial. (Chapters 95–101 and 110)

By the World Gap expedition he is a Marquis Godfiend near a major technique breakthrough. Observing a forming world's laws lets him complete the transition from the peak of the Realm of Dao to the Dharma Domain. That realm is one of the conditions for advancing toward Regis cultivation, but the other requirements and the breakthrough itself are not completed before his death. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven judges that its full heritage could nurture him toward Creation, while Meng Chuan later judges him one step toward Seamless; both are informed projections, not evidence that Xue Feng actually reached either state. (Chapters 303, 309, 319, 335, and 341–342)

Black Sand Fiend Body

The Black Sand Fiend Body is Xue Feng's perfected transcendent-grade Godfiend body and the bodily half of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven's central lineage. It provides the compatible Quintessential Essence and physical foundation for the Fifteen Golden Wind Swords, allowing the two inheritances to amplify one another. His black light during the World Gap breakthrough covers roughly five kilometers and makes the surrounding void tremble, showing a domain-scale manifestation rather than merely a change in sword shape. (Chapters 110 and 309)

The body does not make him invulnerable or automatically equal a Regis Godfiend in every respect. Its combination with Bone-Locking Stance gives that attack the strength of an ordinary Regis, but Yellow Oscillate's domain destroys the sword shadows without direct contact. Xue Feng still depends on a separate protective bracelet to survive subsequent attacks. His final battle therefore demonstrates both the lineage's capacity to let a Marquis strike above his formal realm and its inability to close a much larger difference in technique, domain, and raw power. (Chapters 338–341)

Fifteen Golden Wind Swords

Xue Feng learns the Fifteen Golden Wind Swords through the Myriad Sword Sect legacy and masters it fully enough to astonish King Calm Sea and King True Martial. The Imperial Lord-level art fuses Gold's extreme yang quality with wind's elusive, shadow-like movement and is designed to work with the Black Sand Fiend Body. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven treats that pairing as the main lineage's hardest and most important inheritance, with the potential to qualify its cultivator for the sect leadership and deeper Imperial Lord teachings after further advancement. (Chapters 309 and 336)

Its clearest named application is Bone-Locking Stance. Xue Feng releases wind-like sword shadows intended to lock down the target; against an ordinary opponent, the Regis-level force and binding effect should hinder movement. Against Yellow Oscillate, the target's surrounding domain disperses the shadows before the swords can achieve that purpose. This failure establishes a practical limit: the stance's projected restraint depends on surviving the defender's domain and cannot guarantee control merely because its force crosses a realm threshold. (Chapters 338–339)

Domain, privacy, and battlefield application

Before his mature breakthrough, Xue Feng can spread an invisible domain around a conversation to prevent eavesdropping. Later, his Dharma Domain is a true technique-realm achievement supporting broader perception, control, and the full expression of his sword inheritance. The corpus does not specify that the early privacy field has the same range or combat function as his later Dharma Domain, so they should not be treated as identical manifestations without qualification. (Chapters 95 and 309)

In battle he applies that cultivation as a mobile city guardian. He can fly, project Quintessential Essence threads over an attack zone, spar precisely enough to pressure Yan Jin without crippling him, and rapidly assess whether his strongest move can delay a superior enemy. His final retreat also shows tactical discipline: once Yellow Oscillate selects him, he leads the threat out of Windflow City. None of these applications gives him Meng Chuan's underground reconnaissance range or a Creation expert's ability to withstand Yellow Oscillate directly. (Chapters 335–340)

Power progression

Relationships

• Yan Jin: Xue Feng's younger half-brother and the center of his family efforts. He acknowledges Yan Jin despite the latter's rejection of the Xue family, gives him the ice lotus and Myriad Sword Sect legacy indirectly, arranges to serve beside him, and asks King Calm Sea to make amends. Yan Jin ultimately accepts the bond and preserves it after Xue Feng's death.
• King Calm Sea: Xue Feng's father, who favors his talent slightly but remains emotionally and practically distant. Xue Feng seeks signs that he cares for Yan Jin, then directly challenges his refusal to acknowledge the wrong done to Yan Jin's mother. The dismissive reply wounds Xue Feng shortly before his death.
• Meng Chuan: A recurring peer and comrade who first knows Xue Feng as Archean Mountain's benchmark disciple. Meng Chuan carries the ice lotus to Yan Jin, witnesses Xue Feng's World Gap advancement and death, paints him among the fallen, and later avenges him by hunting Yellow Oscillate.
• King True Martial: Senior leader of the World Gap expedition. He protects and instructs Xue Feng, recognizes the significance of his Fifteen Golden Wind Swords breakthrough, and explains why the paired Black Sand inheritances make him uniquely valuable.
• Yan Chitong: A fellow young Marquis on the World Gap expedition. He and Xue Feng cultivate under the two Regis Godfiends' protection and observe one another's breakthroughs during the forming world's display.
• Li Guan: Archean Mountain's senior Sect Proprietor. He accepts the Myriad Sword Sect legacy from Xue Feng, promises to look after his family, attempts to respond when Xue Feng is attacked, and reconstructs the final battle before ordering a cenotaph.

Items

No distinct qualifying personal inventory for Xue Feng is retained in the item manifest. The ice lotus is passed to Yan Jin, the Myriad Sword Sect's black-sword legacy is surrendered to Archean Mountain after both brothers receive it, and the temporary sect-issued protective bracelet is exhausted and destroyed during his final battle.
