Physical Description

He often maintains a full head of hair, sometimes described as long and unbound, casually draped over his shoulders with a few strands playfully sticking up 1023. His eyes can turn dark gold when activating certain abilities 728. Despite his youthful appearance, he possesses a powerful physique 1066.

Specific details include:

• He is described as having sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes 920.
• When compared to Bagemu, an exceptionally tall opponent, Fang Mo is shorter, with Bagemu being two heads taller than him 301.
• He is capable of wearing a loose, moon-white robe with a slightly open collar, revealing a small patch of his firm chest 1023.
• He has been seen in a Xuanjin sword robe 920.
• He can summon a dark gold battle armor that covers his head, chest, back, and limbs, with a surface that flows with metallic luster and reveals a dense, dark gold scale structure resembling blood-colored dragon scales. This armor also features ferocious dragon head shapes on the shoulders 722.
• When using his Lightning Armor, two lightning wings can materialize behind him, giving him the appearance of a fallen angel due to the blood-red, ferocious, and imposing battle armor 966.
• He can appear full of energy even after intense battles, with no visible trace of the struggle except for bloodstains on his clothes 459.
• When using his Savage Ancient True Body, Fang Mo can transform into a thousand-zhang giant, wielding his blade and overpowering Heaven-tier Exotic Beasts 1127 1153.
• His physical aura becomes increasingly profound after entering the Void Glimpse Realm, leaving even high-level cultivators unable to gauge his depth 1300.
• By the later stage of the Immortal Dragon Soul Flame, his body possesses sufficient vitality and power for him to aim at contending with Holy Venerables 1349.

Character Background

Fang Mo's early life was marked by hardship and neglect within the wealthy Fang family. Born to Liang Shuang, who died in childbirth, he was raised by his stepmother, Hu Yuehua, and his father, Fang Xiaolian 3 126. He was often mistreated by his grandmother and stepmother, enduring frequent whippings and schemes against him 334. His engagement to Qin Muxue was broken, and he was expelled from the academy, leading him to attempt suicide at Demonon Lake Park, where he was saved by Luo Jiangyan 1 199 334.

After this incident, Fang Mo discovered he had transmigrated and gained an Innate Divine Ability, “Practice Makes Perfect, Dao Achieves Itself” 1. He decided to leave the Fang family, accepting a severance of one million yuan and relinquishing his inheritance rights 2 3. He then dedicated himself to martial arts, impressing his teacher Xie Changmin with his alchemy skills and quickly gaining recognition for his strength, including defeating a Grandmaster-level opponent 33 154 326.

His lineage was later revealed to be extraordinary: he is the direct grandson of Gu Liangyunzong, a Heavenly Human Realm expert and leader of the Tianyi Sect, and his maternal uncle is Ye Qiuchen 335 339. This revelation significantly elevated his status and influence, with various factions reacting to his newfound connections 337.

Fang Mo's reputation continued to grow as he advanced rapidly, becoming the number one on the Heaven Ascending Ranking and achieving the Transcendent Realm 763 773. He subsequently cultivated to the Heavenly Human Realm, obtained True Man Realm combat power before entering the Yin Ruins, and emerged as the leader of Taichu Peak 645 876 935. His influence within the Tianli Sect became so significant that even powerful figures like Mu Yunlan felt immense pressure in his presence, and his era was proclaimed 773 1013.

Following his campaign against the Mechanical Empire, Fang Mo was recognized as Tianli Sect's Holy Son and elevated to First Deputy Sect Master, with the Sect Master, Elder Council, and Heavenly Venerates entrusting the sect's affairs to him 1054 1219. He later oversaw the sect's development of technology-integrated cultivation and mech armor forces 1301. Despite his rapid rise, Fang Mo maintains a cautious and self-aware demeanor, often feeling uneasy about his sudden promotions 1068.

Fang Mo later began facing the Void Insight tribulation. He used the Myriad Manifestations Dao Diagram to receive and absorb its lightning, tempering both his divine soul and physical body; he also shattered the third tribulation bolt with Blade Aura, forcing observing Heavenly Venerates to reassess his strength 1328.

After obtaining the Savage Ancient Dragon God Art from the Yin Ruins, Fang Mo explained to the Tianli Sect's Heavenly Venerates that the Savage Ancient Clan's body-refining path differs from the Heavenly Dao and Dharma Dao, though all ultimately lead toward the same destination 1216. He subsequently entered the Void Glimpse Realm, with major factions—including the Mechanical Empire—sending representatives to congratulate him, and he began deducing a method to harmonize Savage Ancient body refinement with Tianli Sect Primordial Spirit cultivation 1297 1300.

Following the receding Exotic Beast Tide, Fang Mo devoured the Black Dragon's corpse to replenish himself and further advanced his physical body to a later stage of the Immortal Dragon Soul Flame 1349. His authority and reputation continued to rise until the public of Galaxy City addressed him as Heavenly Venerate Fang 1375.
