Background / History

Mu Zi was raised by Mu Yun in Mu Family Village alongside Mu Lingsha. Mu Yun treated her as family after the deaths of his cousin and cousin’s wife, and Mu Zi likewise regarded his household as her own 1.

Her early cultivation was defined by unusually rapid comprehension. She independently improved Swimming Body Step into Lingbo Steps, quickly mastered Spirit Sword Finger, and became Mu Family Village’s “seed” after defeating Mu Gang in the village assessment 7 10 19. She later left the village to eliminate nearby bandit groups, killing five Heavenly Yuan Realm experts over two months and gaining the hidden identity of the Black Robe Hero 36.

Mu Zi joined Qianhai Sect after Qian Yuanzi recognized her talent and offered to accept her as a personal disciple if she ranked among the top ten in the Hundred Dynasty Battle. She accepted the challenge and later negotiated the terms of her entry into the sect 162 204.

As her cultivation rose beyond Tianxuan Continent’s conventional limits, Mu Zi created and developed an independent Martial Path. She opened the Martial World by combining Supreme Power, the Heavenly Net Umbrella, and her Martial Spirit, then later sustained it using her own power rather than the Plane Power of heaven and earth 493 805. Her later exploits against the Extraterritorial Evil Clan established her public identity as the Martial Ancestor 599 781.

Appearance

Mu Zi is repeatedly described as an exceptionally beautiful young woman whose appearance and temperament become increasingly refined as her cultivation rises 53 160.

Personality

She is ruthless toward enemies who threaten her or those under her protection. She killed Li Yan and Zhang Qiang to safeguard Mu Family Village and her identity, wiped out bandit strongholds around Qingyang Town, and showed little hesitation in killing Luo Jiu 35 36 145. Her hostility toward Otherworldly Demons is particularly strong 363.

Despite this, Mu Zi is gentle and sincere with those close to her. She protects Lin Dong, cares for Jiang Yinyin’s well-being over the benefits of awakening her power, trains Su Rou as a younger sister, and provides resources and gifts for Ling Er 160 145 168 685.
