Background

Zhang Wuyi was recognized from an early stage as an exceptional Talisman Path prodigy. She completed Foundation Establishment in under a year and reached Golden Core after merely ten years of cultivation, earning a reputation as the youngest genius Talisman Master in the Hundred Immortal Alliance and the strongest cultivator below Nascent Soul. Her rapid advancement, however, left hidden defects in her Golden Core and stalled her cultivation for eighty to ninety years. 58 177

Her talent was central to the Nine Mountain Sect’s disciple-selection trial. She once reached the Ninth Peak during the plank-road assessment, setting a record that remained unmatched for ten thousand years; her likeness was later incorporated into the trial itself. 77 78 79

She developed the Talisman Path Foundation Establishment Method by drawing on the four talismans within the Mountain River True Form Talisman. The method condenses ten talismans into a stable composite talisman within the dantian, but its original form carried a hidden flaw that contributed to her imperfect Golden Core. 99

After becoming trapped in the Mysterious Pass Mirror, Zhang used the isolation to evade Great Freedom Demonic Sect pursuers and force herself toward Nascent Soul advancement. Zheng Fa later aided her research with mathematics and topology, while she advised him against repeating her mistake of advancing too quickly. 177 178

Appearance

Zhang Wuyi is a tall, slender woman with graceful curves, a delicate face, and translucent skin. Her bearing is repeatedly described as lofty, distant, and difficult to approach. 78 650

• Often wears plain or snow-white robes. 97 464 650
• Her Primal Spirit Dao Body manifests as a translucent form filled with talisman diagrams and a glowing composite talisman at the dantian. 102
• After obtaining Eight Trigrams, she appeared amid black-and-white Chaos Qi in a white robe marked by a Yin Yang Eight Trigrams Diagram. 464
• Loves water; her residence was deliberately arranged beside a mountain lake, and she is known to sit with her feet in cold lake water beneath a waterfall. 97 262 309

Personality

Zhang is blunt, self-controlled, and almost indifferent to wealth or social rank. She judges people by aptitude, practical ability, and commitment to cultivation rather than background. Her direct criticism of Junior Sister Zhao was harsh in wording but intended as sincere advice against emotional attachments that hinder cultivation. 61

She has exceptional confidence in her own judgment and rarely compromises when she considers a matter important. She pressured Uncle Pang’s faction to provide resources for Zheng Fa’s Talisman Path Foundation Establishment Method because she believed his compatibility with it would eventually force their acceptance. 113

Despite her aloof exterior, she is deeply protective of those she accepts as her own. She supported Zheng Fa from his earliest days in the sect, tested his resilience rather than shielding him from every hardship, and repeatedly placed the Nine Mountain Sect’s safety above her own. 87 140 248

Her relationship with Zheng Fa also reveals a more vulnerable and possessive side. She valued the daily time they spent studying topology while trapped in the Thunder Pool, became jealous after misreading his happiness around another woman, and openly competed with Tang Lingwu for Zheng Fa’s affections. 178 230 650

Abilities & Skills

Primal Spirit Dao Body

Zhang’s Primal Spirit Dao Body allows her to temporarily transform the spiritual energy within her body into talisman diagrams. Her Origin Talisman Dao Foundation contains the result of condensing countless talismans and is structured around Yin, Yang, and the Five Elements. 102

• Serves as a living experimental platform for talisman and cultivation-method research. 102 385
• Can model composite talismans and test Zheng Fa’s proposed methods directly within her body. 216 384
• Its transformations are initially limited to spiritual energy inside her body rather than fully changing her physical material or appearance. 385

Talisman Path Mastery

Zhang was considered the leading Talisman Path talent of her generation before Zheng Fa’s rise. She is the creator of the Talisman Path Foundation Establishment Method and possesses both extraordinary talisman-drawing ability and theoretical understanding. 58 99 108

• Uses the Flying Immortal Brush to draw and deploy talismans rapidly. 222 310
• Established a powerful illusion array in the Thunder Pool mountain hollow. 222
• Opened the Nine Revolutions Kan Water Cover with rune-based talisman methods. 310
• Developed the Function Symbol Diagram Theory with Zheng Fa, reframing talismans through concepts comparable to computational functions. 508
• Uses Five Elements Sub-Talismans to strengthen her combat power and reinforce the Talisman Path Foundation Establishment Method. 124

Mathematical Calculation

Zhang has exceptional calculation ability, including mastery of the Tian Yuan Technique and the Tui Technique. Her unusual interest in mathematics led to her connection with Zheng Fa. 58 61

• Studied Zheng Fa’s mathematics and topology texts while seeking a solution to her flawed Golden Core. 177 178
• Operates the Nine Chapters Array Calculation, turning calculations that once required half a month into near-immediate results. 438
• Applies the array to sect-wide resource allocation, production planning, and logistical directives. 437 438
• Assists in deducing artifact-spirit algorithms, martial arts, cultivation methods, and formation modifications. 448 516 535

Mountain River Seal and Nine Mountains Connection

By using herself as a medium between the current Nine Mountain Ancestor and the Mountain River True Form Talisman, Zhang can draw upon power comparable to the Nascent Soul stage. 260 262

• Connected the nine mountains, the Mountain River True Form Talismans, and her own spiritual-energy circuits in battle. 259 260
• Used this power to resist Blood River Old Ancestor alongside Venerable Tongming. 260
• The borrowed power was difficult to sustain and left her severely injured. 260 262
• Investigated and repaired missing or incorrect spiritual-energy-circuit nodes within the Mountain River True Form Talisman. 248

Eight Trigrams

Her Innate Divine Ability, Eight Trigrams, emerged during her Spirit Transmutation breakthrough. It is associated with Yin-Yang Chaos Qi and enables her to glimpse and calculate possible futures. 463 464

• Supports high-speed deduction and tactical prediction. 464 500
• Allows her to evade superior attacks by calculating safer paths rather than confronting them directly. 500
• She considers it useful but remains wary of the dangers associated with Yang God cultivation methods. 464

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Flying Immortal Brush — Her principal talisman-drawing tool, used for arrays, rune work, and large-scale calculations. 222 310 438
• Pure Quiet Bamboo — A powerful treasure used in combat and defensive evasion. 345 500
• Mysterious Pass Mirror — Her master’s former treasure; sheltered her during her Golden Core stagnation and protected her from Great Freedom Demonic Sect pursuers. 177
• Mountain River Seal — A seal formed from the nine mountains that grants her Nascent Soul-level power when activated, at great cost to her injuries. 309
• Jade Bracelet — Contains valuable resources which she offered to Zheng Fa in support of his New Method research. 216

Relationships

• Zheng Fa — Junior brother, research partner, Dao companion, and the person she first identified as exceptionally suited to the Talisman Path Foundation Establishment Method. She mentors, protects, and collaborates with him throughout the Nine Mountain Sect’s transformation. 87 113 385 463
• Senior Sister Yuan — Junior sister and close companion. Zhang teaches and protects her, though she is often exasperated by Yuan’s mischievous behavior. 107 177 262
• Uncle Huang — Her master. Zhang respects her deeply but is willing to act against her wishes when the Nine Mountain Sect is in danger. 114 248
• Uncle Pang — Senior sect member and occasional political opponent. Their factions disputed the Talisman Path method, but both work toward the sect’s survival and development. 102 113 242
• Tang Lingwu — Zheng Fa’s apprentice and love interest in the Modern World. Their first meeting was tense and competitive, though both were committed to protecting Zheng Fa. 650
• Xie Qingxue — Collaborator in research and formation analysis; together they studied the Immortal Slaying Sword Array’s function symbols and diagrams. 516

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recognition of Zheng Fa

Zhang first encountered Zheng Fa through Miss Zhao’s family and immediately showed interest in his mathematical knowledge. She later recognized his unusual compatibility with the Talisman Path Foundation Establishment Method and became one of his earliest supporters within the Nine Mountain Sect. 58 61 113

She deliberately treated Zheng Fa’s arrival in the sect as a trial, expecting him to withstand exploitation and internal conflict rather than relying entirely on her backing. 87

Talisman Path Research

Zhang taught Zheng Fa the principles behind her Origin Talisman Dao Foundation and the Talisman Path Foundation Establishment Method. His analysis of Five Elements Sub-Talismans helped resolve a hidden flaw in the method, restoring its viability for future Core Formation. 102 112 124

Her flawed Golden Core and later confinement in the Thunder Pool made this research personally urgent. Zheng Fa’s mathematical and topological knowledge became a sustained source of both practical insight and emotional comfort for her. 177 178

Defense of the Nine Mountain Sect

When the Nine Mountain Sect faced existential danger, Zhang returned to awaken and repair the Nine Mountain Ancestor despite the risk of confronting Nascent Soul enemies. 248 249

She became the medium linking the Nine Mountains and Mountain River True Form Talisman, borrowing Nascent Soul power to fight Blood River Old Ancestor. Zheng Fa’s arrival with the Thunder Pool and Cave Heaven Spirit Treasure ultimately prevented her defeat. 260 262

Nine Mountain Realm Administration

While recovering from her injuries, Zhang became Zheng Fa’s most reliable administrative partner. She took charge of the Logistics Hall, supported educational and economic reforms, and used the Nine Chapters Array Calculation to direct resource distribution across the Nine Mountain Realm. 238 288 438

Her work was essential to the sect’s industrial and institutional growth, even when Zheng Fa initially failed to notice how much of its smooth operation depended on her effort. 305 395

New Methods and Later Advancement

Zhang remained a committed supporter of forging a new cultivation path beyond both the Old Method and River Heaven Venerate’s New Method. She used her Primal Spirit Dao Body to help Zheng Fa test the Tiangang Disha Transformation and other experimental methods. 216 384 385

After advancing through Spirit Transmutation and obtaining Eight Trigrams, she continued to integrate talisman theory, array calculation, and cultivation research. Her later Mahayana breakthrough established her as the Nine Mountain Sect’s foremost cultivator after Zheng Fa. 437 464 567

Protection of Zheng Fa

When Zheng Fa was endangered beyond the Xuanwei Realm, Zhang sought to refine additional stars through the Grand Array of Stars and proposed attacking the Northern Continent for the resources required to protect him. 649 650
