Tianmai

Tianmai (天脉者) is described as the heavenly bloodline left in the human world. A bloodline which, according to the legends, awakened in the human world every few hundred years.

This bloodline could manifest through unyielding and overpowering combative strength, such as that belonging to a General from the distant ancient country of Nas. When his country was on the verge of perishing at the hands of barbarians, he assassinated most of the barbarian's council members with his courage and combat capabilities. There are also Tianmai who showed great talent in art or wisdom, such as the couple from the West, Boer the Scholar and his playwright wife, Fubo, both of whom died 300 years ago.

Nobody could prove that the reason this bloodline remained in the human world was because of Heaven’s concern for the suffering and pain of humans. In fact, these people brought peace and many other things to the world.

Eventually, all Tianmai vanished without a trace; neither a person nor country could find a clue as to their whereabouts. They disappeared as suddenly as they came, leaving only obscure records, though nothing that could prove their existence.

Chen Ping Ping is one of the few people who knew the existence of Tianmai and claimed that Fan Xian is a child of Tianmai.
