Fang Xiangshan
Fang Xiangshan is an ethereal Fang Clan Chosen sent to compete for the Immortal Ancient temple legacy. She later returns to Planet East Victory and witnesses Meng Hao's growing dominance and the clan rebellion.
Biography
One of the Three Great Chosen
Fang Xiangshan is selected with Fang Yunyi and Fang Donghan when the Fang Clan learns that an Immortal Ancient Daoist Rite Temple has opened on Planet South Heaven. She is introduced meditating alone in a small boat, accompanied by two indistinct Dao Protectors. The clan calls the three juniors its Three Great Chosen and sends them because each has a predestined connection to the temple's fortune. All three suppress their cultivation below the Immortal Realm so that they can build firmer foundations and attempt a true-Immortal breakthrough rather than advance by an inferior path. (Chapters 806, 809)
The temple expedition
Unlike the more confrontational Fang Chosen, Fang Xiangshan would not have traveled to South Heaven without the Patriarch's order. She is absorbed in cultivation and initially feels neither friendship nor enmity toward the unknown Meng Hao. At the temple she joins the combined attacks and the spell formations secretly prepared to obstruct him, but she is repeatedly prevented from entering by his Form Displacement Transposition. When the expedition begins to collapse, she remains in the mountain range with her protectors after most competitors have left. Her hostile reaction convinces Meng Hao that she may have found unexplored fortune, so he pursues her toward the Fang stronghold. (Chapters 815, 818, 822, 830–831)
Fang Xiangshan expects Fang Xiufeng and Meng Li to punish her pursuer. She tearfully reports Meng Hao's monopolization of the temple and identifies the treasures he carries, only to learn that he is their son and therefore her senior cousin. Childhood memories of being bullied by that same cousin return as she watches him beat Fang Yunyi. Terrified, she offers Meng Hao a dilapidated bottle whose long residence in the temple has imbued it with the music of a Dao. Meng Hao recognizes that it is not a unique legacy and returns it. The encounter leaves Fang Xiangshan so wary that, after returning to Planet East Victory, she avoids Meng Hao whenever possible. (Chapters 831–833, 896, 921)
Return to Planet East Victory
Fang Xiangshan witnesses Meng Hao's alchemical rise and confrontation with Fang Wei's faction. His ringing of the Dao bell and dominance at Brightmoon Lake deepen the fear created on South Heaven; she withdraws rather than join Fang Yunyi's attacks. When the clan rebellion begins, one of her own clan sisters pursues her with killing intent and wounds her. Fang Xiangshan is therefore not counted among the rebels despite having stood near Fang Wei's faction during earlier public events. Her last direct scene emphasizes survival amid the collapse of the clan's internal loyalties, not participation in the conspiracy. (Chapters 924–931, 994)
Appearance and personality
Fang Xiangshan wears white robes and has long, lustrous hair that falls down her back. Seated alone on a lake, she appears graceful, ethereal, and removed from mortal concerns. Her strongest trait is concentration: she cares more about cultivation than external rivalries and only enters the temple contest under clan orders. That reserve does not make her immune to pride or spite. During the pursuit, she relies on her status and protectors, embellishes her complaint to Fang Xiufeng, and expects family authority to destroy Meng Hao. Once his identity is revealed, however, she rapidly reassesses the danger and chooses submission over Fang Yunyi's defiance. Later caution around Meng Hao and retreat from the Brightmoon Lake confrontation show that she learns from humiliation rather than repeating it. (Chapters 806, 822, 830–833, 921, 929)
Abilities and cultivation
Suppressed true-Immortal foundation
As one of the Three Great Chosen, Fang Xiangshan has reached the point at which she could pursue Immortal Ascension, but keeps her cultivation suppressed. The purpose is mechanical rather than ceremonial: remaining below the realm boundary allows her to continue accumulating a foundation suitable for true Immortality. This gives her standing above ordinary Fang juniors while preserving access to opportunities restricted by cultivation level. The choice also carries risk, because she confronts opponents such as Meng Hao without the completed power of an Immortal breakthrough. (Chapters 806, 809)
Array cultivation and coordinated attacks
The Fang Patriarch identifies Fang Xiangshan and the other two as the clan's Array Chosen. At the temple, she participates in attacks supported by spell formations laid in advance, demonstrating that her combat role is tied to preparation and cooperation rather than a single named offensive art. Those formations can complicate Meng Hao's movement but do not secure the temple, and his positional-transposition treasure repeatedly exchanges him with competitors who are about to enter. Her array knowledge is therefore useful battlefield control, not an answer to an opponent who can bypass positioning. (Chapters 806, 815, 818)
Perception and survival judgment
Fang Xiangshan notices danger before some of her older protectors do. During the confrontation with Meng Hao's parents, she senses that the exchange is wrong even before learning the family connection. She also survives both the temple disaster and the clan rebellion by withdrawing when the balance becomes impossible. These are practical limits on her portrayal: the supplied chapters establish elite potential, formations, and caution, but do not assign her a named bloodline divine ability or show a completed Immortal breakthrough. (Chapters 832–833, 994)
