Background

Zi Yu used a system to obtain cultivation resources, techniques, artifacts, summon cards, and missions. His early development included becoming an alchemist, refining top-grade Qi Restoration Pills on his first attempt, and collecting a large reserve of high-rank techniques and Dou Skills. 15 26

He settled in Wutan City with Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, and Miao Ke'er, later bringing the summoned Dongfang Jing into their household. 26 He also used a Beginner Loyalty Card on Yao Chen, securing the loyalty of a Ninth Grade Pill Grandmaster and Dou Saint-level powerhouse. 27

Zi Yu entered Jia Nan Academy alongside Ling Qingzhu, Gu Xun'er, Miao Ke'er, and Xiao Yu. His extraordinary cultivation, combat ability, and reputation led the academy to arrange his eventual direct admission to the Inner Academy. 117 124 146

As his influence expanded beyond the Jia Ma Empire, Zi Yu established a power base through the Purple Dragon Guard, acquired Starfall Pavilion as a foundation for his faction, and eventually presided over Sacred Evolution Palace in the Central Plains. 205 285 480 He supplements his personal strength with summoned followers, revived ancient experts, formidable companions from other planes, and an increasingly large reserve of sacred treasures. 412 439 444
