Yinluan

**Yinluan** (『银鸾』 *Yín luán*), also known as **Shuangliang Zhenren** (『双灵真人』 *Shuānglíng zhēnrén*) is an Untitled Sage from the Grand Pure Peak main Sage Sanctum and the younger twin sister of Jinluan.

## Background

Yinluan is an Untitled Sage born to an Untitled Sage from the Grand Pure Peak main sanctum along with her older twin sister Jinluan. During her childhood, she frequently accompanied her more talented older sister during her training along with their mother, though she had no aspirations to become stronger and instead wished to live with her mother.

One day, Huang Xiaoyan visited Grand Pure Peak after being brought there by her mother. During her half year stay, Yinluan befriended her and the two would frequently play together outside of training. Near the end of Huang Xiaoyan's visit, a fire occurred at Grand Pure Peak, causing a building to collapse on Yinluan and Jinluan, trapping them. The debris from the collapse injured Yinluan's right shoulder, leaving a scar. She was eventually rescued by Huang Xiaoyan while her older sister was rescued by Fuyao, and nursed back to health by her.

Unknowingly, Huang Xiaoyan's visit left a profound negative impact on Jinluan. Jinluan became envious of Huang Xiaoyan's friendship with Yinluan, distracting her from her training. Additionally, despite noticing and being closer to Jinluan at the time of the fire, Huang Xiaoyan chose to go save Yinluan instead, greatly saddening her. As a result, Jinluan's training progress was severely stunted, preventing her from acquiring a rare Sage Mentality, a requisite to represent the Untitled Sages, before Huang Xiaoyan. Devastated and believing she failed to live up to her mother's expectations, Jinluan began making mistakes during her training and eventually damaged her cultivation root, forcing her to give up on training. Due to possessing the same talent, Yinluan was forced to assume her older sister's responsibilities and continue the training in her stead, giving up on her dreams of spending her life with her mother. She eventually blamed all these misfortunes to Huang Xiaoyan, becoming hateful towards her and swearing to exact revenge upon her for dooming her family.

Eventually, she would awaken her Heaven's Eye and learn the Signless Wave Sage Mentality. She would then be sent by her master to participate in the Untitled Sage competition in Bozhou along with her two fellow apprentices.

## Personality

Yinluan harbors a deep hatred towards Huang Xiaoyan, believing that she and her mother purposefully sabotaged Jinluan, her sister's training in order to represent the Untitled Sages instead.

Yinluan deeply loves and values her family. For the sake of respecting her mother's wishes, she was even willing to bear a child with a man she didn't know in order to give birth to the strongest child.

Like most Untitled Sages, Yinluan lacks basic understanding of how the modern world works due to living in seclusion. She initially believed that the process of procreation involved reading the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra with one's cultivation companion before being informed otherwise by Qinglian.

## Appearance

* Yinluan in a maid outfit
1/1
Yinluan has a voluptuous figure along with yellow eyes and long white hair mostly arranged into a ponytail that is fixed with a grey headpiece consisting of a hook-shaped hairpin and ring, although some locks of her hair form bangs that cover the left side of her head. A vertical slit is present on her forehead, signifying her awakening of the Heaven's Eye. She carries her two swords on her back.

Yinluan briefly wore a black and white maid outfit and a pair of cat ears when challenging Huang Xiaoyan for Ye Yan.

## Abilities

### Weapons

* **Dual Swords**: Yinluan possesses a pair of jian with red guards and pommels, and black blades. She generally applies her Signless Wave Blade technique through a single sword in combat, but can use both swords to further increase the spell's power.

### Untitled Sage exclusive techniques

* Yinluan's Heaven Eye
1/1
* **Heaven's Eye** (『天眼』 *Tiānyǎn*): A powerful ability used by some Untitled Sages and their descendants. When the Heaven's Eye is opened, Untitled Sages are able to see things invisible to the naked eye, see through obstructions, see the cause and effect of events, draw the power of the heavens into themselves and use it as their own. Untitled Sages that opened their Heaven's Eye for the first time will experience some kind of drawback, and the effects of the drawback either increases or stays the same every time they open it again. For Yinluan, she bleeds from her ears every time she opens her Heaven's Eye. She has been seen using her Heaven's Eye to increase the size of her attacks.
* **Changing Spell** (『易装术』 *Yìzhuāng shù*): An exclusive technique for Untitled Sages and their descendants who can use it to quickly change their clothes. By recording a single set of clothing and storing it in their Sage Mind, the spell allows them to change their current clothes into the stored clothes when used, or repair their clothes if they are wearing the same set. Unless the Untitled Sage is talented and specializes in clothing changing, this spell does not allow one to change between several different clothes.
* **Clothing Cleansing Spell** (『净衣咒』 *Jìng yī zhòu*): A spell that removes trash off the clothes of the user.

### Yinluan's techniques

* Signless Wave Blade
* Signless Aura
* Signless Wave Blast
* Signless Annihilation Wave Blast
* Grand Pure Cloud-Ascending Ladder
* Signless Shock
* Water Form
1/7
* **Signless Wave Sage Mentality** (『无相波动仙心』 *Wūxiāng bōdòng xiān xīn*): A rare Sage Mentality. Mastery of this technique is a prerequisite for performing the Signless Wave Blade.
	+ **Signless Wave Blade** (『无相波动剑』 *Wūxiāng bōdòng jiàn*): By transferring her sword's vibration and "will" to her opponent upon clashing with them, Yinluan can damage her opponent's body and spirit by inflicting "true damage", rendering any form of defense useless against her attacks. The principle behind this spell is the application of oscillations, specifically a "leading oscillation" (『先头波动』 *Xiāntóu bōdòng*) and a "follow-up oscillation" (『后续波动』 *Hòuxù bōdòng*). Upon striking a target, the leading oscillation vibrates the area of contact, disrupting the structure of the target and allowing damage to penetrate. The follow-up oscillation then enhances the vibration's transmission, causing the damage to thoroughly perforate through the target. As a result, when defending against the Signless Wave Blade, the tiniest of damage caused by the first vibration can be amplified and torn through by the following vibration. However, in the extremely rare case that a target's defense exceeds the threshold for vibration resistance and is undamaged by the leading oscillation, the spell's guard-breaking effect is rendered useless since the follow-up oscillation has no flaw to exploit.
	+ **Signless Aura** (『无相法身』 *Wūxiāng fǎshēn*): By coating her own body in the vibrations of the Signless Wave Blade, Yinluan can transfer the vibrations to any opponent that makes contact with her, causing a paralysing effect to the attacker. Yinluan developed this technique after experiencing a mental attack from Luo Xiaobao.
	+ **Signless Wave Blast** (『无相波动炮』 *Wūxiāng bōdòng pào*): Yinluan fires an enormous beam of yellow energy from her swords at the direction they are pointed. The blast is extremely destructive, capable of vaporizing everything in the blast's area. When used at 40% of its power, the blast completely dwarfed Changsheng and knocked the experienced Untitled Sage unconscious in one hit. While this attack usually has a long charging and cooldown time, Yinluan can circumvent this drawback by opening her Heaven's Eye, allowing her to immediately recharge it moments after using it as well as increase its size. Yinluan developed this technique after experiencing a mental attack from Luo Xiaobao.
		- **Signless Wave Annihilation Blast** (『无相波动湮灭炮』 *Wū Xiāng Yān Miè Bō Dòng Pào*): While empowered by Fuyao's Silver Scale Seal, Yinluan sacrifices some of her life to unleash the Signless Wave Blast over an omnidirectional and extremely wide range. The energy from the blast completely enveloped the ruins of Lan Ling's branch sect.
	+ **Signless Shock** (『无相震』 *Wūxiāng zhèn*): Yinluan stomps the ground with her foot and unleashes a wave of vibrations around her, paralyzing opponents within the area.
* **Grand Pure Cloud-Ascending Ladder** (『太清梯云纵』 *Tàiqīng tīyúnzòng*): By charging energy in her legs, Yinluan can close in on her opponent at high speeds, giving them little time to react.
* **Vacuum Wave Palm** (『真空波动掌』 *Zhēnkōng bōdòng zhǎng*): After concentrating magic power around one of her palms, Yinluan performs a palm strike that creates a powerful concussive force. It is equal in power to Huang Xiaoyan's Close-Range Talisman Explosion.
* **Water Form** (『水化』 *Shuǐ huà*): While under the effects of Fuyao's Silver Scale Seal, Yinluan is able to temporarily transmute her body into water, causing her to be immune to attacks while transformed. This is a technique used by Qinglian.
