Yu Xuan

Daughter of the second God of Berserkersdescendant of a King of Abyssbearer of half the Seed of Life Extermination

Yu Xuan is an Abyss-lineage cultivator whose teasing pursuit of Su Ming grows into a bond that survives separation, sealed memories, and the destruction of their cosmos. She is later revealed to be Fei Er, the daughter of the second God of Berserkers who once called Su Ming “big brother.” Su Xuan Yi treats her life as part of his plan for the Seed of Life Extermination, but the recovery of her memories lets her choose Su Ming and the Ninth Summit as her home.

Biography

South Morning and the Immortal conflict

Yu Xuan approaches Su Ming during the struggle in South Morning with a yellow dog following her and an image of bashful courtesy that quickly proves misleading. Second Senior Brother jokingly proposes that she marry his youngest junior brother, and Yu Xuan accepts the joke because it gives her a convenient reason to remain close. She is already intelligent enough to understand that Second Senior Brother is studying her and the dog, while he understands that she is using his matchmaking to follow Su in plain sight. Their exchange is mutual exploitation without malice, paid for in medicinal cores and carried out largely at Su's expense. (Chapters 718–720)

At first, Yu Xuan views Su as an interesting Abyss Builder with valuable potential rather than as a settled romantic choice. She calls him “little dummy Su,” provokes him for amusement, eats medicinal cores as casually as snacks, and assumes she will keep the upper hand. The joke begins changing her despite that calculation. When Fang Cang Lan appears, Yu Xuan invokes the supposed marriage and becomes genuinely uncomfortable at the presence of other women around him. Her possessive reaction is the first sign that a pretext adopted for fun has reached emotions she does not fully understand. (Chapters 720–738)

She also becomes part of the Ninth Summit's household rather than merely a traveler attached to Su. Her sharp tongue, roasted seeds, negotiations with Second Senior Brother, and ability to terrify both Qian Chen and her own dog bring disruptive humor to a group already living under threat. That playfulness does not prevent her from taking the group's danger seriously. When Morning Dao's Dao Slaves break into Yin Death Region, she identifies their warship, robes, and hierarchy, then joins the defense instead of retreating to preserve herself. (Chapters 718–743)

Yu Xuan swallows a crimson medicinal core that floods her with Abyss Death Aura and lets her fight beyond her ordinary state. Because she is not a Third Step cultivator, the core inflicts overwhelming backlash; she becomes corpse-pale, drains her strength, and still continues against enemies she cannot defeat. Near death, she kisses Su and gives him an Abyss Death Breath containing her will. The breath completes or changes his incomplete soul and breaks three seals within it, turning her final gift into a lasting part of his power rather than a conventional attack. (Chapters 739–743, 759)

Her Abyss Dragon desperately transfers aura into her and carries her through a spatial crack toward the Emperor of Abyss' True World. Su cannot catch her falling body and believes she has closed her eyes for the last time. The defense destroys the fragile daily life Yu Xuan had built at Ninth Summit, while the Dragon's decision saves her at terrible cost: after returning its mistress, it is punished, loses its Dragon Tendon and cultivation, and spends a millennium trapped in the Barren Lands. (Chapters 743–746, 800)

Divine Essence and Ecang

In a later recreated vision of the lost Ninth Summit, Su meets the earlier Yu Xuan again. His sudden gratitude and embrace bewilder her because she still understands their proposed marriage as a joke and cannot know what her death-breath will mean to his future self. The encounter belongs to Su's passage through memory and altered reality, not to a physical reunion with the woman taken to the Emperor of Abyss' True World. Its importance lies in what he can finally express: gratitude toward someone whose sacrifice he had been unable to answer when it happened. (Chapters 819–829)

In the Barren Lands, Su finds Yu Xuan's Abyss Dragon reduced to a shadow of its former state. Learning that it completed its duty but was mutilated by its own people turns his worry for Yu Xuan into anger at the institutions controlling both mistress and servant. He saves the Dragon and treats its injuries as a responsibility Yu Xuan would have accepted herself. The Dragon's loyalty keeps her present in the narrative even while her location and condition remain unknown. (Chapters 857–858)

Information drawn from Dao Kong's world clarifies that Yu Xuan fled an arranged marriage to the prince of the Emperor of Abyss' True World and used her Dragon to move between True Worlds. Her attachment to Su therefore grows during an act of resistance against the future chosen for her. Yet the same lineage that grants her mobility makes return dangerous: away from the Emperor of Abyss' True World, her survival is limited, and the Dragon is the means by which she can cross otherwise sealed boundaries. (Chapters 933, 958–961)

The Fifth Furnace and Morning Dao

More than a thousand years after their separation, Yu Xuan is brought to Morning Dao beside the third prince, the man designated as her betrothed. She appears numb and emptied of interest, as though the long sleep and imposed destiny have removed her from her own life. The moment she sees Su beneath his changed face and crimson hair, however, she recognizes his soul through the Abyss Death Breath fused into it. Her apathy breaks into the mischievous, tearful smile he remembers, demonstrating that the bond survived where ordinary appearance and conscious memory did not. (Chapters 1095–1100)

The third prince answers her recognition by seizing and hurting her in front of Su. Yu Xuan's pain becomes the spark that turns Su's unstable rage into open war against the Emperor of Abyss delegation. She continues smiling through it because the reunion proves the hope she preserved in sleep: Su lived and came close enough to reach for her. Yet a Relocation formation activates before he can pull her free. The force that turns back his grasp belongs to Su Xuan Yi, who sends her again to the Emperor of Abyss' True World and exposes how deliberately her separation has been maintained. (Chapters 1100–1107)

Su subsequently understands that Yu Xuan is Fei Er, his little sister from the darkness of his earliest memories and the daughter of the second God of Berserkers. Su Xuan Yi had sealed that past and assigned her a mission that required her to remain with the Emperor of Abyss. In her palace room, Yu Xuan silently mourns before the ship-shaped half of the Seed of Life Extermination while Su Xuan Yi tells her that Su does not suit her. His words present coercion as protection, but her tears show that the decision is not hers. (Chapters 1112–1142)

The coercion becomes bodily when Su Xuan Yi supervises a refinement that transfers a captured Abyss Builder clone's cultivation and life force into Yu Xuan. The energy modifies her constitution and soul while the matured Seed within her absorbs it, and she remains apathetic rather than consenting. The Seed's connection to the half once nourished by Su helps erase the donor clone's mind. This state is forced, externally supplied, and incomplete until the energy can be absorbed; it is not a cultivation advancement Yu Xuan independently seeks or masters. (Chapters 1174–1175)

Arid Triad and the dying aeon

In Harmonious Morus Alba, Su encounters another Yu Xuan belonging to his counterpart's cosmos. She has the same appearance but is an illusory, sleeping form tied to that world. His fused counterpart asks him to unite the two Yu Xuans so she can wake, but Su discovers that taking this version outside would destroy both body and soul. He refuses to gamble with her existence and instead seals the chamber with his will for protection. The decision distinguishes counterpart from companion: resemblance and corresponding destiny do not make one life disposable for the recovery of another. (Chapters 1261–1278)

Su then enters the Emperor of Abyss' True World to retrieve the Yu Xuan he knew. He finds her at the wedding she once fled, numb like a puppet while numerous seals bind her thoughts, memories, and soul. Mo Sang attempts to rescue her during the chaos, and even the third prince silently permits the escape, but Su Xuan Yi reverses time around the Relocation and forces the ceremony onward. Yu Xuan's apparent submission is therefore the effect of layered sealing, not acceptance of the marriage or abandonment of Su. (Chapters 1287–1294)

The paired bells given by Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei break every seal on Yu Xuan. With her complete memory restored, she recognizes herself as the second God's daughter, remembers the Berserker land as home, and calls Su “big brother.” Su takes her from the wedding and later extracts the half of the Seed of Life Extermination, severing its tentacle-like connection to her body. In doing so, he frees her from both the chosen marriage and the role of furnace assigned by Su Xuan Yi. (Chapters 1295–1301)

Yu Xuan returns with Su and Mo Sang to the Ninth Summit. For several years she lives in the home she had previously reached only briefly, now by choice and with her memories intact. She retains her slyness—moving chess pieces when no one should notice and silencing the bald crane with a glance—and develops a lively rivalry with Xu Hui, while treating Cang Lan as the eldest among Su's companions. These domestic scenes complete the trajectory begun by Second Senior Brother's joke: Yu Xuan is no longer using a supposed marriage as cover, but openly belongs to the family it once let her approach. (Chapters 1303–1352)

That peace ends with the descending disaster. Su freezes the people of Ninth Summit within his River of Forgetfulness to preserve them, but Xuan Zang's power eventually shatters the shelter. Yu Xuan's last look and the destruction of her world reduce the recovered life to memory, while the alternate Yu Xuan's sleeping body remains in Su's keeping after Harmonious Morus Alba also dies. (Chapters 1353–1376)

Ancient Zang and the final truth

Throughout Ancient Zang, Yu Xuan survives first as a measure of what Su refuses to forget. He remembers her while trying to maintain his true identity, fears that a convincing false version could weaken his resolve, and sees her beside his other lost companions when the boundary between memory and illusion thins. She has no independent Ancient Zang career; her presence is the emotional continuity of the life Xuan Zang's world insists was a dream. (Chapters 1380, 1418, 1434)

After escaping that truth, Su searches other Harmonious Morus Alba butterflies for traces corresponding to the people he lost. He initially finds only feeble marks rather than the exact individuals in his memory. Eventually, a small white flower touches his palm and he recognizes Yu Xuan. The daylily image that once explained her name becomes the form through which he gathers her Brand of life into his own world. (Chapters 1478–1481)

Su gives his life force to the recovered Brands so they can open their eyes. Yu Xuan appears living within that recreated world, though the narrative does not present this state as a return to her former cultivation or possession of the exact body destroyed in the disaster. Her restoration is a life reconstructed from the mark Su found and sustained by his final gift—a continuation of their story, with its precise metaphysical limits left unstated. (Chapter 1481)

Appearance and personality

Yu Xuan has a soft, flower-like face, long dark hair, fair fingers, and a light fragrance. Her smiles and apparently bashful glances easily move observers, but that demure surface is frequently a performance. At her most characteristic she is lively and mischievous, eating roasted seeds, narrowing her eyes into crescents, grinning when she gets away with a trick, and turning a single look into a warning the bald crane and Abyss Dragon understand immediately. (Chapters 718–740, 1304–1305)

She is highly intelligent, observant, competitive, and unwilling to concede an exchange once she begins it. These traits make her teasing intimidating, but they also support genuine loyalty: she recognizes Su's soul when his appearance changes, fights beside the Ninth Summit at ruinous personal cost, and continues to resist a marriage arranged by forces far above her. Her numb or apathetic later behavior is repeatedly linked to sleep, trauma, and seals placed over her mind and soul; once those restraints break, the playful and resolute Yu Xuan returns. (Chapters 739–743, 1095–1107, 1291–1305)

Her name means daylily, a flower associated in the text with forgetting sadness. Her mother chose it in hope that she would live happily, but Yu Xuan's life is defined by memories others try to suppress. The irony resolves only when regaining those memories lets her choose where she belongs. (Chapters 1049, 1295)

Abilities and cultivation

Yu Xuan's established capabilities come from her Abyss lineage, medicinal enhancement, her bonded Dragon, and the Seed forced into her. The corpus shows several powerful states but not a complete formal sequence of realm advances, so no intermediate realms are inferred.

Abyss lineage and movement between True Worlds

As a descendant of a King of Abyss and daughter of the second God of Berserkers, Yu Xuan possesses Abyss Death Aura and can use cultivation resources designed for beings of that nature. Her connection to the Emperor of Abyss' True World also imposes a boundary: she relies on an Abyss Dragon to cross between True Worlds, and the third prince claims she could not survive away from her native True World for more than a century. The claim is made during coercion, but the Dragon's unique role in her travel is repeatedly demonstrated. (Chapters 718–743, 961, 1100–1107)

Medicinal cores and temporary combat state

Abyss Control Cores heal spiritual bodies and cultivators who use Abyss Death Aura, and can increase power when the user is uninjured. Yu Xuan consumes them freely in ordinary conditions. The crimson core used against the Dao Slaves is far more dangerous: it releases a dense wave of Abyss Death Aura and lets her continue fighting after her normal strength is exhausted, but because she has not reached the Third Step, the backlash nearly kills her. The state is temporary, consumable-driven, and unsustainable. (Chapters 718–720, 739–743)

Yu Xuan can recognize Morning Dao equipment and coordinate with stronger allies under pressure. Later she spars with Xu Hui using divine abilities and Arts, but the dossier does not establish the names or mechanics of those techniques. Her demonstrated combat character is persistence and tactical knowledge rather than a fully explained signature attack. (Chapters 739–743, 1352)

Abyss Death Breath

At the edge of death, Yu Xuan passes a breath of Abyss Death Aura and her own will to Su through a kiss. It causes his soul to boil, completes or transforms what it lacked, and breaks three seals that had been inseparable from it. Because her will remains fused with the breath, she later recognizes Su by his soul even when his body and outward presence have changed. This is a one-time sacrificial transfer with lasting effects on the recipient; the text does not show Yu Xuan repeatedly using it as a general healing technique. (Chapters 743, 759, 1099)

Seed of Life Extermination state

Su Xuan Yi places half the Seed of Life Extermination in Yu Xuan and uses her as a furnace to mature it. A Rune formation transfers another Abyss Builder's cultivation and life force into her, modifying her constitution and amalgamating power with her soul while the Seed absorbs it. The process requires time and outside victims, and Yu Xuan's apathy indicates neither voluntary acquisition nor demonstrated mastery. The Seed itself, still bearing a trace of Su, helps destroy the donor's mind. (Chapters 1174–1175, 1294)

When Yan Pei's bells remove the seals on her mind and soul, the stored power does not become a documented new formal realm. Su later severs and extracts the Seed's threads. Her latest independent access is therefore to her restored self and memories without the artifact, not to the Seed's maturation function. (Chapters 1295–1301)

Abyss Dragon bond

Yu Xuan's yellow dog is an Abyss Dragon able to change form, cross True World barriers, channel Abyss Death Aura into her, and fight beside her. It obeys her as its young mistress but is a living companion, not an item or an innate extension of her cultivation. Its capabilities can be lost independently, as shown when the Emperor of Abyss' True World removes its tendon and cultivation after it saves her. (Chapters 718–743, 800, 857–858)

Relationships

  • Su Ming: Yu Xuan initially follows and teases him for amusement and interest in his Abyss Builder potential. She nearly dies defending his home, completes his soul with her death-breath, recognizes him across a changed body, and ultimately chooses to return with him after her memories are restored.
  • Second Senior Brother: His joking marriage arrangement gives Yu Xuan cover to follow Su. The two recognize one another's schemes and trade information for medicinal cores without genuine hostility.
  • Su Xuan Yi: He seals Yu Xuan's identity and memories, separates her from Su, forces her arranged marriage, and uses her as the second furnace for the Seed. His plans define much of her suffering until the seals and Seed are removed.
  • Lei Chen: The third prince betrothed to Yu Xuan is eventually revealed as Lei Chen and Su Xuan Yi's real son. He participates in the imposed arrangement but twice refrains from preventing her escape or reunion, showing conflict beneath the role chosen for him.
  • Mo Sang: Su's elder attempts to remove Yu Xuan from the forced wedding and later accompanies her home to the Ninth Summit.
  • Fang Cang Lan: Yu Xuan initially treats her as a romantic rival and later lives beside her at Ninth Summit, addressing her as the eldest among Su's three companions.
  • Xu Hui: They become affectionate competitors at Ninth Summit, frequently arguing and sparring but sharing the same household and concern for Su.
  • Abyss Dragon: Her fiercely loyal companion carries her away from death, suffers a millennium of punishment for doing so, and returns with Su when Yu Xuan is finally freed.

Items

  • Seed of Life Extermination: Half is implanted in Yu Xuan and matured through stolen life force. It is a coerced burden rather than her property; Su later extracts it and gives it to Lei Chen.
  • Rattling drum: A childhood toy kept in her palace room. It once had a matching counterpart and anchors memories of the identity sealed away from her.
  • Paired bells: A wedding gift from Sovereign of Dawn Yan Pei. Their ringing removes the many seals placed on Yu Xuan's thoughts, soul, and memories, enabling her full self-recognition.
  • Abyss Control Cores: Consumable medicine used for spiritual bodies and Abyss Death Aura cultivation; Yu Xuan uses them for recovery and incremental strengthening.
  • Crimson medicinal core: The dangerous consumable she swallows while defending Ninth Summit. It forces out Abyss Death Aura beyond her safe level and leaves her near death from backlash.
