Jinluan

**Jinluan** (『金鸾』 *Jīn luán*) is an Untitled Sage from the Grand Pure Peak main Sage Sanctum and the older twin sister of Yinluan.

## Background

Jinluan is an Untitled Sage born to an Untitled Sage from the Grand Pure Peak main sanctum along with her younger twin sister Yinluan. During her childhood, she frequently trained to become stronger due to being more talented, and was usually accompanied by her younger sister and mother. In reality, she did not have aspirations to become stronger, and forced herself to train to live up to the expectations placed on her.

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, causing Jinluan to become envious of their friendship and distracting her from her 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. Despite Huang Xiaoyan noticing her and being closer to her, she did not rescue Jinluan and instead went to rescue Yinluan, saddening her. She was eventually rescued by Fuyao.

Huang Xiaoyan's visit left a profound negative impact on Jinluan, stunting her training progress and 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, depressing her and forcing her to give up on training and shift her responsibilities onto her younger sister Yinluan. In reality, Jinluan was more saddened by her wasted training than losing the opportunity to represent the Untitled Sages. After accepting her losses, she began to live an idyllic life as a normal Untitled Sage, supported by her mother who also learned to not burden her children with her personal ambitions.

## Personality

Like her sister, Jinluan prioritizes other's expectations on her over her own happiness, which was why she forced herself to train to become stronger and behave competitively despite it going against her own wishes of living a normal life.

## Appearance

Jinluan 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 horn-shaped hairpin and ring, although some locks of her hair form bangs that cover the right side of her head. A vertical slit is present on her forehead, signifying her awakening of the Heaven's Eye.

## Abilities

### Untitled Sage exclusive techniques

* **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.
