## History

### Divine Ascension Mirror World

After Tian Yan senses the aura of new Soul Devouring Insects in the Divine Ascension Mirror World, he tracks them down to Yang Kai's position in Heavenly Monster Mountain. Upon arriving at the mountain, Tian Yan finds out from an injured Yi Quan, one of the Monster Race leaders of the Mirror World, that Yang Kai has already been taken away. After healing Yi Quan, Tian Yan discovers that Grandma You has taken Yang Kai to the Divine Palace of the Divine Ascension Mirror World.

At the Divine Palace, Tian Yan arrives just in time to save Gao Xue Ting and Yang Kai from Grandma You, who sent a terrifying attack at Gao Xue Ting after being caught in the latter’s Secret Technique sending her back to the physical world. After reassuring Gao Xue Ting that he is not her enemy, Tian Yan proceeds to take Yang Kai to a wooden house in the mountains. Here, he informs Yang Kai of the history of Soul Devouring Insects in the Divine Ascension Mirror World.

He then shows Yang Kai the now sealed ancient Soul Devouring Insects of times past. Knowing he has a means to control them, Tian Yan requests that Yang Kai permanently remove them from the Mirror World. After doing so, Yang Kai promises Tian Yan that he will return and refine a Flesh Incarnation Pill for Tian Yan so that he can achieve his desire of entering Star Boundary in a physical body.

### Flesh Body

Around the time of the Demon Spirit Incident at Azure Sun Temple, Yang Kai finally delivers a refined Flesh Incarnation Pill to Tian Yan. Upon finally receiving a body, Tian Yan is not immediately accustomed to Star Boundary's World Principles, and initially has difficulty both moving and controlling his body. Likewise, Yang Kai allows him to rest within his Guest Elder Spirit Peak at Azure Sun Temple. Later, when Yang Kai returns to check on Tian Yan, he is told that he has already left to travel the world. During this time, Tian Yan both quickly adapts to his new body and presents a Pseudo-Great Emperor cultivation level within a relatively short amount of time.

### Profound Heavens Temple

Tian Yan later pretends to be the new Fire Lord of Night Shadow Great Emperor's Demon Heavenly Law. Using this role, he would join the other Demon Realm Half-Saints in the Profound Heavens Temple. When the strongest Half-Saint, Jia Long, is on the verge of grabbing the Great Emperor-producing Heavenly Source Fruit in the Illusionary Heavens Furnace before Yang Kai, Tian Yan sneak attacks the latter, allowing Yang Kai to reach the furnace first. This leads to Yang Kai successfully becoming the Void Great Emperor.

### Void Land

After the Demon War, Tian Yan stays within High Heaven Palace. When Yang Kai returns to Star Boundary with the World Tree Root Hair, Tian Yan and Sheng Yu Zhu join in on a discussion over Star Boundary's condition between the Great Emperors, Fu Zhun, and Zhu Yan. Yang Kai remarks that Tian Yan would likely have become the new 10th Great Emperor of Star Boundary had its World Principles not been damaged so badly due to the war with Mo Sheng. Later, Tian Yan joins Void Land with all the other Pseudo-Great Emperors of Star Boundary.
