Background / History
Lu Wanyuan was originally known as Lu Yuan. After arriving at Bayberry Market, he adopted the name “Lu Wanyuan,” declaring his ambition to become an ancestor and establish a grand immortal clan with Baili Qiuyue 5. He began from poverty, clearing spirit fields and wasteland for Spirit Stones while refining the Spiritual Energy he earned from labor 7.
He reunited his scattered siblings in Bayberry Market, secured an estate with spirit fields and a fish pond, and distributed legacies in Spirit Talismans, Pill Refining, Artifact Refining, and Spirit Planting. He established the family’s immediate goal: survive, develop, and build a new Lu Family 23.
After reaching Foundation Establishment, Lu Wanyuan returned to Green Bamboo Peak—his childhood home—only to find it occupied and renamed Heaven Pillar Peak by the Ouyang Family. He later avenged himself against those responsible for his earlier downfall, though he remained unable to locate his nominal father, Lu Hu, who had reportedly been captured by the Murong Family 140 144 145.
As the Lu Family expanded from Cui Mountain, Lu Wanyuan developed its cultivation, industries, defenses, mortal settlements, and beast-taming resources. His plans included an underground bunker against a Yao Beast tide, the Taiji Stone Formation Array, a long-distance communication device, and a Wolong River waterworks project that reclaimed land for spirit fields and mortal agriculture 99 100 160 239 244.
Following conflicts with sects, demonic forces, and threats from other realms, he rose from Lu Family patriarch to a leading figure in the Immortal Realm. He organized alliances, rebuilt territories and cities after war, and ultimately helped seal an ancient evil power before supporting new regulations for Immortal Realm order 474 548 571.
Personality
Lu Wanyuan is ambitious and family-centered. His earliest stated goal was not merely personal advancement, but the creation of a lasting immortal clan; he repeatedly measures wealth, cultivation, population, and territory by their value to the Lu Family’s survival 5 23 98.
He is pragmatic and cautious when confronting stronger opponents. He avoids unnecessary ventures, gathers intelligence before acting, uses concealment and deception when needed, and makes defensive preparations against threats such as Yao Beast tides and hostile sects 48 54 99 171.
His protection of family can become ruthless. He kills enemies threatening his clan, binds Lu Da and Lu Er as servants after their attack, and eliminates prisoners to prevent information leaks 132 157 162. At the same time, he rewards contribution, teaches relatives practical skills, and invests heavily in the growth of his descendants, disciples, and territory 54 174 517.
