Mu Yunxue

Biodata

Power Progression

Background

Mu Yunxue is a legitimate daughter of the Mu Household. When her Transcendent-Grade Spirit Root was discovered, several senior cultivators competed to become her master. Qi Yunshu ultimately secured the position because he had been close friends with the Mu Household’s ancestor since his Golden Core days 159 202.

She entered the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect in the same cohort as Lu Yang, passed its assessment in one month, and broke the sect’s assessment record. Her talent became famous throughout Qin Province, including among its other five top powers. The sect devoted extensive resources to her development, and she spent much of the following four years in seclusion 29 39 60.

Her original cave abode stood within a secluded bamboo grove halfway up Golden Light Peak’s main peak 164.

Appearance

• Build and complexion: Tall and slender, with porcelain-white skin and finely proportioned features 29 40.
• Hair: Waist-length, ink-black hair, usually loosely secured with a sky-blue silk ribbon 164.
• Eyes and expression: Cool, deep-set eyes and an almost expressionless face, repeatedly compared to an exquisite doll 29 164.
• Clothing: Usually wears an unadorned white dress; also appears in a pale-blue, narrow-sleeved robe with a silver-threaded sash 164 222.
• System assessment: Initially receives a beauty score of 11, exceeding the system’s normal range for human female beauty. Later cultivation-plan rewards further improve her appearance and bearing 60 336 388.

Personality

Mu Yunxue is quiet, straightforward, and intensely devoted to cultivation. She initially considers comprehending the Great Dao far more appealing than romance, and often continues contemplating the Metal Dao while others argue or conduct business around her. Her apparent coldness is accompanied by a pure Dao heart and unusually steady emotions 59 164 180 202.

She judges resources by their practical value rather than prestige. At the auction, she abandons the bidding for Azurite Jade Liquid because other uses of the same Spirit Stones would improve her Divine Sense more efficiently. Similarly, she initially dismisses Beauty-Preserving Pills because they improve neither cultivation nor Dao comprehension 40 169.

Her directness extends to both self-assessment and affection. She accepts praise of her exceptional talent without false modesty, plainly asks Lu Yang whether he likes her, and openly proposes becoming his dao companion. After falling in love, she becomes more expressive and occasionally jealous, while remaining unconcerned about publicly acknowledging her feelings 60 222 295 296.

By the time she masters her new scripture, she privately recognizes that she would choose Lu Yang over pursuing the Great Dao alone. She sees no conflict in that choice because he supports her cultivation. She also begins caring about her appearance specifically because he likes it 336 337.

Abilities & Skills

Metal Dao

Mu Yunxue specializes in flexible transformations and penetrating attacks rather than overwhelming force 169.

• Shapes Metal Qi into fine, needle-like attacks that exploit openings.
• Emphasizes division, sharpness, and varied forms, making her techniques difficult to anticipate or defend against.
• Provides Lu Yang with perspectives that complement his heavier, force-based approach.
• Benefits from Dao Comprehension Tea, which increases both participants’ comprehension tenfold during their discussion 169.

Cultivation Methods and Techniques

Combat and Practical Knowledge

• Kills several Foundation Establishment Perfection Demon Beasts with a single technique, saving Crimson Cloud Sect disciples during the Ancient Yue Secret Realm expedition 368.
• Considers ordinary middle- and late-stage Golden Core cultivators manageable, but avoids a black-mist presence that exceeds her strength 377.

Beauty Cultivation Plan

The system designates “Metal Dao Immortal Emperor, Mu Yunxue” as her eventual cultivation goal—not an attained realm or title 323.

The plan returns 20% of her cultivation gains to Lu Yang and grants rewards to both of them for completed tasks 323.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Spiritual Connection Ring — Gift from Lu Yang. Can shield her from a Nascent Soul Perfection strike and teleport him to her side 202.
• Sound Transmission Jade Token — Given by Lu Yang for refinement and testing. Can reside in the Sea of Consciousness and transmit messages directly from within it; the commissioned supreme-grade model can communicate across two major domains 217 222 223.
• Ancient Metal Dao tablet — Obtained from an inheritance secret realm and later shared with Lu Yang. Contains the Metal Source Heaven-Reaching Record, subsequently identified as a Low Spirit Grade method 202 220 323 404.
• Jade bracelet — An ordinary bracelet given by Liu Qing, originally a token of love from Lu Yang’s father. Mu Yunxue promises to treasure it 320.
• Supreme-Grade Spirit Artifacts — Receives several from her family and sect; later primarily uses treasures gifted by Lu Yang 318.
• Flying sword — Used for travel around the sect 171.

Relationships

• Lu Yang — Fellow sect entrant, Dao discussion partner, and eventual dao companion. Their complementary Metal Dao insights create an early bond; she later openly declares her love and accepts his support for her cultivation 60 169 222 329.
• Qi Yunshu — Master and sect leader. Provides resources, arranges access to the sect’s secret cultivation opportunity, and introduces her to Lu Yang’s exceptional Metal Dao comprehension 40 164 165.
• Xiao Changli — Original Dao protector. Encourages her to exchange voice transmission marks with Lu Yang, presenting their acquaintance as an opportunity for Dao discussion 59 60.
• Mu Tian — Maidservant of several years. Handles messages during her seclusion and occasionally introduces her to subjects outside cultivation 164 194.
• Qi Fang — Senior brother and unsuccessful suitor. Pursues her for four years without receiving romantic encouragement; his attempts at Dao discussion also expose the gap between their comprehension 171 172 228.
• Qin Nanyue — Fellow disciple and another of Lu Yang’s romantic partners. Initially jealous of their relationship; Mu Yunxue explains that Lu Yang’s other relationships do not prevent him from cultivating and discussing the Dao with her 228 229.
• Liu Qing — Lu Yang’s mother. Warmly welcomes Mu Yunxue, who already regards her as her own mother 318 320.
• Wang Er’yi, Wang Ersan, and Wang Erwu — Three Nascent Soul Realm puppet Dao protectors assigned to her by Lu Yang 329.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Auction and First Acquaintance

Lu Yang sees Mu Yunxue in a fourth-floor auction box after years without news of her. Her decision not to overpay for Azurite Jade Liquid contrasts with his willingness to spend freely 29 40.

They formally meet afterward and exchange voice transmission marks at Xiao Changli’s suggestion. Lu Yang’s enormous golden flying boat sparks her curiosity about his background, though she declines his offer of transport because her destination, the Yun Kingdom, lies off his route 60 61.

Dao Discussions and Romance

Qi Yunshu summons her from seclusion and requires both her and Mu Tian to swear a Great Heavenly Dao Oath before revealing a cultivation opportunity connected to Lu Yang. Her subsequent Metal Dao discussion with him brings substantial insight and an unfamiliar feeling of happiness and resonance 164 169.

As they travel together, her affection rises despite her insistence that she has no interest in romance. The system records 61 affection, later 81, before she directly confesses her feelings and asks to become his dao companion. On returning to the sect, she confirms their relationship to Qi Yunshu and agrees to live on Lu Yang’s peak 172 194 220 222 228.

Meeting Lu Yang’s family strengthens the bond further. Liu Qing’s welcome and bracelet move her deeply, and her affection reaches 100, unlocking her Beauty Cultivation Plan 320 323.

Ancient Yue Secret Realm

After awakening her Spirit Physique and mastering the basics of her new scripture, Mu Yunxue enters the Ancient Yue Secret Realm to obtain a Metal Vein Stone independently 335 336 398.

She saves Crimson Cloud Sect disciples from Demon Beasts but declines to investigate battles unnecessarily. Confident in Lu Yang’s safety, she focuses on her own search and avoids an exceptionally dangerous black-mist presence. Her independent retrieval task is later confirmed complete 368 369 377 398.

Missing Memories

When Lu Yang asks where she found the Metal Dao tablet, Mu Yunxue discovers that she cannot remember the secret realm’s location or circumstances. His Search Module confirms that portions of her memories and Divine Sense were deleted, but that the deletion poses no danger to her cultivation 403.

Further investigation establishes that she entered a randomly accessible inheritance secret realm left by a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator three years earlier. Learning the source of her missing memories reassures her, although the memories themselves are not shown being restored 404.

Lu Yang’s Private Plane

Mu Yunxue and Su Jinxuan survey Lu Yang’s independent plane, reporting that it is peaceful, province-sized, and rich in Spiritual Qi. She joins the other women as Lu Yang explains that its residence will become their home 427.
