Background

Wei Wu served as a Corpse Burning Official under the Flying Fish Guard and was Tu Baishou's sole disciple among a highly competitive younger generation. He possessed strong family backing, considerable natural talent, and the potential to become a future Flying Fish Guard commander. 57 66 307

His hostility toward Qin He began early. Wei Wu considered Qin He insolent and suspicious, especially after Qin repeatedly became entangled in incidents involving the mysterious Great Immortal Green Ox. When someone used Wei Wu's face while committing crimes at Xianyun Temple, he became determined to expose Qin He and identify Green Ox. 66 69 162 192

Wei Wu initially rejected Great Immortal Green Ox's teachings outright, even as soldiers and fellow Corpse Burning Hall personnel gained strength through worship. His pride gradually gave way to temptation; he secretly worshipped Green Ox, endured receiving humiliating teachings such as Postpartum Care for Sows, and struggled to reconcile his desire for power with his resentment. 246 273 276 306

Qin He later cured Wei Wu's hemorrhoidal fistula with a Golden Wound Pill, reshaped his face with the Return My Beauty Fist, and imparted martial arts, cultivation methods, and combat knowledge. The treatment transformed both Wei Wu's appearance and fighting ability. 350 353

Wei Wu survived a rare nine-bolt Heavenly Tribulation while breaking into External Force. The ordeal left him severely injured, but his Self-Healing Technique restored him while his strength surged beyond the limits of inner-force cultivation. Great Immortal Green Ox also supplied the Technique of Making and Using Lightning Rods and the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique, allowing Wei Wu to redirect and endure the tribulation lightning. 469 470 471

After his breakthrough, the Emperor named him Imperial Guard Captain and Crown Prince's Junior Guardian. Wei Wu subsequently accumulated military merit on the Jin-Shan and Gansu fronts, rising to Commander of the Flying Fish Guard. 479 566

Wei Wu later entered the Abyss World, where he was imprisoned at Cuiqing Brothel and ultimately sold to the Imperial Palace. After receiving Qin He's Disguise Technique and Illusionary Breath Technique, he replaced the Regent Crown Prince Li Chenggang and began exercising power within Great Jing's court. 705 740

Qin He's repeated use of Wei Wu's likeness caused persistent confusion about Wei Wu's deeds and reputation. In particular, the azure-rune-covered “Wei Wu” who annihilated the Fierce Ship Spirit and fought the Catfish Demon was Qin He disguised as Wei Wu, rather than Wei Wu himself. 370 496

Appearance

Wei Wu was originally described as having a long, horse-like face, indistinct bone structure, and facial blemishes. Qin He's Return My Beauty Fist reshaped his features into a markedly more refined appearance. 350

• Elegant, jade-like bearing with sword-like brows and sharply defined features after his transformation. 350 370
• Often wears a fitted Flying Fish Robe; later wore the pale-yellow uniform of a Flying Fish Guard Commander. 370 576
• Wore an imperial Golden Python Belt after being appointed Imperial Guard Captain and Crown Prince's Junior Guardian. 479
• Became known for an unconsciously raised Orchid Finger, earning him the martial-world nickname Orchid General. 566
• His concern for appearance is pronounced; after emerging blackened and disheveled from a furnace, he fled in embarrassment. 870

Personality

Wei Wu is proud, short-tempered, and intensely sensitive to humiliation. He reacts badly to mockery, holds grudges, and is prone to destructive outbursts when his dignity is threatened. His long resistance to Great Immortal Green Ox stemmed as much from wounded pride as disbelief. 246 276 306

Despite his stubbornness, he is ambitious and adaptable. He eventually accepted that his relationship with Great Immortal Green Ox was transactional, using the benefits he received to pursue greater authority, cultivate stronger forces, and establish temples. 471 800 814

Following his rise to prominence, Wei Wu became inclined to publicly shoulder responsibility for major incidents, whether or not he had actually caused them. His growing confidence also made him increasingly assertive in military and political matters. 479 740

He is also image-conscious, finicky about cleanliness, and capable of calculated manipulation. During the westward journey, he exploited Qian Wuliang's gambling habit and You Wenqu's desire to regain his lost root to keep both men attached to his plans. 856 881 890

Abilities & Skills

External Force Cultivation

Wei Wu reached the first rank of External Force after surviving the nine-layered Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. 470 471

• Can release force energy beyond his body. 470
• His External Force and Self-Healing Divine Art let him withstand attacks that would otherwise severely injure ordinary cultivators. 500
• His physical power was sufficient to overwhelm Cao Yan's Hegemonic Inner Strength while still at the inner-strength stage. 353
• Learned the Technique of Making and Using Lightning Rods, which could divert the earliest probing bolt of his tribulation toward a weapon rather than his body. 469 471
• Used the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique to turn the tribulation lightning's destructive force into tempering for his body, bones, and marrow. 471

Nine Yang Technique

Wei Wu cultivates the Nine Yang Technique, a superior internal art originating from the Gu-Witch Era. 909

• Reached the Sun Flame Body Protection realm, producing a crimson aura and a brilliant, sun-like spear radiance. 1019
• Sun Flame Body Protection is the technique's fourth level; his crimson halo had begun approaching the fifth-level Indestructible Diamond Body. 1019
• Uses its overwhelmingly yang nature in combat against demons and supernatural enemies. 909 1019
• The technique forbids him from losing his virginity except to a Nine Yin; violating this condition results in death of body and soul. 909

Self-Healing Technique

A sudden influx of knowledge during battle granted Wei Wu the Self-Healing Technique. 402

• It is the Abyssal Life God's closely guarded secret and can regenerate mutilated flesh, broken bones, damaged meridians, and even severed limbs through the consumption of vital essence. 403
• Rapidly repairs injuries, including broken bones and severe bodily damage. 456 470
• Activated automatically after the Heavenly Tribulation, restoring his charred body as his cultivation advanced. 470
• Its flawed regeneration can restore unwanted tissue, making Wei Wu's hemorrhoid problem recur after he attempts to remove it himself. 457

Body-Tempering Techniques

Wei Wu has received several physical-enhancement arts from Qin He and Great Immortal Green Ox.

• Savage Ox Strength — A fourth-grade internal-force cultivation method that greatly increases the force behind his attacks. 350 353
• Sparrow Steps — A nimble movement technique that lets him shift and evade within extremely confined spaces. 350 379 401

Relationships

• Qin He / Great Immortal Green Ox — Began as Wei Wu's chief source of suspicion and resentment; later became his benefactor, teacher, political backing, and the center of a relationship Wei Wu understood as transactional. 66 246 350 471
• Wei Yuanji — His cousin and close attendant. Yuanji repeatedly urged Wei Wu to worship Great Immortal Green Ox and remained concerned about his health, pride, and missed cultivation opportunities. 246 273 307
• Tu Baishou — Wei Wu's master and the Flying Fish Guard's second-in-command. Tu regarded Wei Wu as half a son and was deeply alarmed when Wei Wu was struck by Heavenly Tribulation. 66 470
• Shen Lian — Commander of the Flying Fish Guard and Wei Wu's superior. Shen repeatedly intervened in dangerous situations involving Wei Wu and later witnessed the extraordinary extent of Qin He's impersonation of him. 192 404 496
• Wei Yuanchun — A member of Wei Wu's family and Flying Fish Guard circle who supported him during the Heavenly Tribulation and reacted in shock to his growth. 353 469
• Cao Yan — A military rival. Their confrontation revealed Wei Wu's sudden growth to more than forty years of inner strength. 353

• Wang Tie Zhu — A fellow Green Ox disciple and military ally. Wang Tie Zhu considers Wei Wu a rival for the position of foremost disciple, while the two later cooperate in supernatural-extermination campaigns. Wang Tie Zhu also attempted to rescue Wei Wu from Cai Linglong. 705 862 1056
• Lamborghini — Alongside Wang Tie Zhu, Lamborghini attempted to rescue Wei Wu when he was being transported from Cuiqing Brothel to the Imperial Palace. 705

Story Role / Major Arcs

Hunt for Great Immortal Green Ox

Wei Wu investigates Green Ox-related incidents, suspects Qin He of being the immortal, and repeatedly attempts to use the Flying Fish Guard to expose or capture him. His efforts are consistently undermined by insufficient proof, Qin He's disguises, and Green Ox's influence. 66 162 192

His most extensive prison search ends in absurdity when the guards apprehend Qin He while disguised as Wei Wu, then mistake the real Wei Wu for an accomplice and carry him away as well. 192

Worship and Transformation

After initially rejecting Green Ox's teachings, Wei Wu secretly worships him and receives both humiliating and useful rewards. Qin He's later medical treatment, beautification, and instruction propel Wei Wu beyond his previous limits. 273 306 350

Heavenly Tribulation and Rise to External Force

Wei Wu triggers a nine-bolt Heavenly Tribulation, survives, and reaches External Force. The event establishes him as an exceptional cultivator in an era where Heavenly Tribulations are nearly unheard of. 470 471

The Technique of Making and Using Lightning Rods, Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Technique, and Self-Healing Technique collectively enabled him to survive the tribulation's escalating bolts. 469 471

Rise in the Flying Fish Guard

After reaching External Force, Wei Wu becomes a prominent imperial official, receiving the titles of Imperial Guard Captain and Crown Prince's Junior Guardian. His subsequent frontline accomplishments earn him promotion to Commander of the Flying Fish Guard. 479 566

Cuiqing Brothel Captivity

Wei Wu becomes trapped at Cuiqing Brothel as its top male courtesan. While there, he helps Huan Qingwu regain freedom, though their alliance remains based on shared necessity rather than trust. 628 653 658 704

Cai Linglong later sells him to the Imperial Palace. Wang Tie Zhu and Lamborghini attempt a rescue, but Cai Linglong's Wheel Sea Realm cultivation forces them to withdraw. 705

Palace Usurpation and Temple Expansion

Using disguise and illusion techniques, Wei Wu replaces Regent Crown Prince Li Chenggang and begins making state decisions in his name. He orders campaigns against demon forces, advocates temple construction for Green Ox, later proclaims himself Emperor, and appoints the Marquis of Purple Robes as Regent Crown Prince. 740 835

Westward Journey

As “Lord Wu,” Wei Wu gathers followers for a westward expedition, recruits You Wenqu and Qian Wuliang, and seeks both Immortal Green Ox and opportunities in the Abyss World. 856 881 889

He manipulates You Wenqu into joining by claiming that medicine in the Western Regions can restore the eunuch's lost root, while repeatedly using wagers to keep Qian Wuliang involved. 881 890

Campaigns Against Supernatural Creatures

Wei Wu becomes a key planner and commander within Green Ox's allied forces. He coordinates anti-supernatural strategies, promotes the Spirit Crossing Sutra as their most effective suppression method, and leads armies in the Black Wind Mountain Domain. 1019 1056 1057 1071

He also organizes research into mutated corpses and supernatural entities, using protective formations to create controlled observation sites. 1051 1052

• Wei Wu's public reputation suffered from incidents committed by Qin He while wearing his appearance, including scandals at Yihong Courtyard. 370 431
• He once identified Great Immortal Green Ox's cow by recognizing its dung from an earlier encounter. 162
