Background / History

Under arrangements by Qiongyun Dao Lord and with the support of the Southern Imperial Longevity Great Emperor, Fuyun became the western guarding star's lord. He was enfeoffed as the Metal Virtue Taibai Star Lord and Western Qi Tianhao Emperor, placing him among the Five Town Stars of the Heavenly Court. 1301 1320

He resides in the western Taibai Mansion of the Seven-Layered Heavenly Palace. The mansion's Xianyun Hall is an elaborate immortal sanctuary used to host political guests and conduct private negotiations. 1348 1349

When Residual Poison of Dao Transformation spread through middle-thousand worlds connected to the Zhenxiao Dao Sect, Fuyun recalled sect disciples, ordered inspection arrays and purification spirit pools prepared, and sought Jiang Sheng's aid through the Judicial Heavenly Lord Mansion. 1349 1351

Personality

Fuyun presents himself as an amiable elder: he is habitually smiling, addresses juniors respectfully as “young friend,” and does not rely on seniority or cultivation to bully others. Jiang Sheng considers his outward character genuinely excellent despite recognizing his calculations. 1351

Behind this approachability is a shrewd broker with a strong appetite for profit. He carefully cultivates connections across factions, uses favors and gifts to secure cooperation, and openly pursues the Dragon Palace Market's immense commercial value. His greed occasionally makes him overplay his hand, including when Jiang Sheng notices his interest in the market and begins avoiding him. 1381 1391 1393

He is also pragmatic rather than purely selfish. While pressuring Jiang Sheng to accept Ao Shu, he argues that rejecting the dragonborn could condemn her to a miserable fate; he later relinquishes half of his newly acquired Changyuan Sea Realm treasures to enlist Jiang Sheng's assistance against Qingde Divine Lord. 1403 1408

Story Role / Major Arcs

Residual Poison of Dao Transformation

Fuyun hosts Jiang Sheng, Ye Wenshu, and Shen Yao at Taibai Star Mansion during the crisis involving corrupted middle-thousand worlds. He subsequently makes a private appeal to Jiang Sheng, arguing that the poison threatens not only Zhenxiao disciples but also trapped Heavenly Court officials. 1348 1349 1351

He sends two disciples to wait outside Jiang Sheng's mansion for three days, then negotiates for the Judicial Heavenly Lord Mansion's intervention. His initial offers—the Ziwei Jade Tablet and one hundred high-grade immortal pills—are judged insufficient for the danger and scale of the task. 1351 1352

Dragon Palace Market

Fuyun informs Jiang Sheng that the Taixuan Sword Sheath, a Pure Yang legacy treasure, may be obtainable and escorts him to Dragon Palace Market in Nanxiao Domain Continent. He introduces Jiang Sheng to his wide-ranging circle of associates at Anle Pavilion. 1381 1382 1383

His actual interest gradually becomes clear: he wants to seize Dragon Palace Market's business. He acts as Changyuan Sea Realm's intermediary, but Jiang Sheng realizes Fuyun had been testing whether Jiang Sheng had a prior claim to the market before pursuing it himself. 1391 1393

Flat Peach Dharma Banquet

Fuyun delivers Heavenly Court supplies to Yaochi, ingratiates himself with its fairies, and attempts to repair relations with Jiang Sheng before the banquet. 1390 1391

At the banquet, he freely moves between Eastern Heaven Daoists, Buddhists, and demon venerables, easing the gathering's factional divisions. He sits in the eighth seat as the Metal Department's chief minister and eagerly anticipates the banquet's rare peaches and performances. 1396 1397 1400 1401

Wanchuan Province Incident

Fuyun brings Jiang Sheng news that Qingde Divine Lord, the corrupt City God of Wanchuan Prefecture, has caused widespread unrest. He seeks Jiang Sheng's help because punishment falls under the Judicial Mansion or Thunder Department rather than the Human Department. 1407 1408

In return for half the treasures he received from Changyuan Sea Realm, Jiang Sheng orders Shen Yao and Heavenly Soldiers to capture Qingde Divine Lord. Qingde is stripped of his divine office, has his Three Flowers severed, and is imprisoned. 1408
