Background / History

Wei Country is one of the Six Kingdoms, ruled from Daliang by the Zhao imperial house. Its Royal Martial Repository Pavilion preserves high-grade martial arts, including Immortal Martial Arts Techniques, but royal scions are burdened by National Luck Suppression, making martial advancement difficult. This restriction traditionally pushed Wei’s rulers toward statecraft and palace learning rather than personal martial cultivation. 1 12

The country’s royal family holds the means to produce Wish Stones, cultivation resources tied to destiny. This monopoly underpins a fragile balance between the court, Martial Arts Forces, and noble families; the royal house remains vulnerable if it cannot maintain stability or provide sufficient benefits. 12

During the Three Kingdoms’ campaign against Wei, Chu, Zhao, and Han formed an alliance against it. Wei lost territory in the south, suffered the assassination of its Crown Prince, and endured a severe drought that created widespread refugees and weakened its National Luck. 28 98

Under Zhao Hongming’s rise, Wei gradually shifted from a state constrained by powerful sects and local forces into a centralized military power. Zhao Hongming consolidated Ying Commandery, took over the Zhengyi Sect’s resources, became Crown Prince, and secured the capital’s key guard and intelligence offices through trusted subordinates. 156 230 237

Political Structure and National Luck

• Royal authority — The Zhao imperial house governs Wei Country, though its authority was historically checked by major Martial Arts Forces and regional military interests. 12 103
• National Luck Suppression — Royal bloodlines bear suppression that limits martial cultivation; this is considered a major reason royal families generally do not produce top martial experts. 1 241
• Wish Stones — Only royal families can create Wish Stones, making them central to both cultivation and political bargaining with Martial Arts Forces. 12
• Imperial Jade Seal — Wei’s seal became part of Zhao Hongming’s Four Directions Ancient Seal. After he fused Han and Yan’s seals, their National Destiny merged into Wei’s. 261 276 278
• Unified National Destiny — After unifying the Five Nations, Zhao Hongming refined the remaining Imperial Jade Seals and gathered the realm’s National Destiny into himself; the immense concentration created severe pressure on him. 300

Major Historical Developments

Period	Development	Outcome
Early reign of Jian'an Emperor	Wei faced pressure from Chu, Han, and Zhao, while the south suffered drought and refugee crises.	National strength and National Luck declined. 13 28 98
Ying Commandery consolidation	Zhao Hongming dismantled Chen Family Village, the Wang Family’s influence, the Upper Immortal Sect, and other local forces.	Ying Commandery came under direct Martial King control. 135 156
Zhengyi Sect conflict	Zhao Hongming’s faction destroyed the Huo Family and took down the Zhengyi Sect. Its resources were transferred to the Great Wei treasury, while Wei Elite Soldiers occupied its grounds.	A leading domestic Martial Arts Force was neutralized and repurposed as a Wei Army cultivation site. 230 237
Zhao Hongming’s enthronement	Zhao Hongming held his coronation inside the Imperial Palace under the Nation Protecting Array. An assassin embedded in Han’s delegation struck during the ceremony.	The attempt failed; Wei’s new emperor publicly asserted his power, alarming foreign states and Martial Arts Forces. 245 246 247
Conquest of Han	Wei mobilized 450,000 troops under Wu Qi and Cen Xiu. Zhao Hongming captured Yangdi, absorbed Han’s military and administration, and placed Han’s royals and nobles under house arrest in Daliang.	Han Country fell under Wei control; its Imperial Jade Seal and National Destiny were absorbed. 248 262
Absorption of Yan	Zhao Hongming defeated Yan remnants, obtained Yan’s Imperial Jade Seal, and fused it into his own power.	Yan’s National Destiny merged into Wei’s with comparatively little resistance. 276
Unification	Zhao Hongming defeated the Chu–Qi alliance, later unified the Five Nations, relocated nobles, and suppressed resisting Martial Arts Forces.	Wei became the dominant unified state across the realm. 298 300

Strategic Assets

Royal Martial Repository Pavilion

Located in Daliang, the Royal Martial Repository Pavilion contains ordinary Jianghu martial arts on its first two floors and Immortal Martial Arts Techniques on its third floor. It is one of Wei’s most valuable repositories of cultivation knowledge. 1

God-Demon Weapon

Wei completed a God-Demon Weapon during Zhao Hongming’s reign. It possesses city-destroying potential and was powerful enough for Zhao Hongming to cleave a mountain peak during testing. 76 268

• Wei’s completed weapon was considered superior to Chu’s initially incomplete God-Demon Weapon. 270
• Its existence strengthened Wei’s position against both foreign nations and domestic Martial Arts Forces. 76 247

Seven Stars Heaven Severing Formation

The Seven Stars Heaven Severing Formation is Wei Country’s renowned Imperial Palace nation-protecting formation.

• Activated through Wei’s Imperial Jade Seal, later incorporated into the Four Directions Ancient Seal. 278
• Envelops the Imperial Palace in a defensive curtain of light. 278
• Used by Zhao Hongming when Creation Realm Martial Warrior Hai Chaosheng attacked Daliang. 278

Royal Armories and Martial Arts Resources

Foreign Relations and Conflicts

• Han Country — Participated in the anti-Wei alliance and later plotted Zhao Hongming’s assassination during his coronation. Wei responded with a full-scale invasion, conquered Yangdi, and absorbed Han’s National Destiny. 241 246 248 262
• Zhao Country — Invaded Ying Commandery under Li Mu and supported forces hostile to Wei. Zhao eventually offered its Imperial Jade Seal before Wei’s final unification of the realm. 163 297 300
• Qi Country — Initially maintained cautious relations with Wei, but later joined Chu against it. The Chu–Qi allied army was defeated by Wei forces. 98 298
