Background

Su Mu's journey began with significant cultivation breakthroughs, including becoming a Grand Unity Golden Immortal with twelve-grade flowers, a feat Nuwa helped conceal from Dao Ancestor Hongjun 8. He further advanced his cultivation by consuming a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, reaching the late-stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm, and later refining nearly a hundred more 26. Su Mu also achieved a breakthrough to the seventh heaven realm of Primordial Unity Grand Unity Golden Immortal after refining the Life Origin 280. He demonstrated his power by refining the Water Origin Pearl and Fire Origin Pearl, integrating them into the Primordial Realm, which expanded and boosted his cultivation 222. He also gained control over the Demonon Star after refining the Taiyin Origin and encountering Wangshu 133.

Su Mu originally aided the early Human Race's development by proposing the use of cooked food, encouraging You Chao Shi's construction of homes, and suggesting that Zi Yi Shi make clothing from animal hides 2. The resulting increases in Human Race destiny granted him the Strongest Human Dao System, along with cultivation techniques and treasures 2. He later received the Kongtong Seal from the Three Human Ancestors, recognizing it as a supreme Human Race treasure capable of establishing and deposing Human Sovereigns 9.

Su Mu has held various significant roles and titles. He was appointed as the leader of the Human Religion by Nuwa, with Zhenyuanzi as the Grand Elder 50. He became the Martial Ancestor of the Human Race, a title recognized by figures like Yu and Li Shimin 149 262. During the Investiture of the Gods, he was appointed Supreme Lord of the Golden Gate, High Sage Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate 132. Later, Houtu decreed him as the Fengdu Great Emperor of the Underworld, granting him full authority over its governance 100. He also holds authority in the Primordial Heavenly Court and is revered as the Holy Emperor Great Heavenly Venerate 261 263.

Throughout his journey, Su Mu has shown a commitment to helping others. He shared Nine Revolutions Golden Elixirs and Yellow Middle Plums with the Human Race's Three Ancestors, Sui Ren Shi, You Chao Shi, and Zi Yi Shi, aiding their cultivation 26. He also provided a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and a Yellow Middle Plum to Bei Xuan, assisting his advancement 26.

He has also provided guidance and resources to his disciples, including Yang Jiao, Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi, to aid their cultivation 106 222. Su Mu visited Nuwa to inquire about the Demonther-Child River, a place she created in her past attempt to achieve sainthood 280. He also assisted Jiang Ziya and Di Xin against the northern rebellion by sealing Yuan Futong's Bodhi Seed 75. Su Mu has shown deep affection for Yun Xiao, visiting her at Cloud Pool and deciding to do so regularly 322. He also recruits the Scorpion Demon Pipa to join Zouwu Logistics 280. Su Mu has a close relationship with Zhenyuanzi, visiting him and offering him a precious item 26. He also encountered Sect Master Tongtian and his disciples after the Three Pure Ones split, joining them on their journey 39.

Su Mu also regards continued hardship and battle as necessary tempering for powerful cultivators. When Taiqing Laozi and the Queen Mother of the West fought, he directed them to continue their clash within the inner Hundun to maintain their combat ability, while assigning Yun Xiao to arrange Heavenly Court affairs 346.

In the later Journey to the West period, Su Mu continued to protect Tang Sanzang's party and investigate the Fierce Beast Dynasty. He rescued the injured pilgrims and their protectors, healed their wounds, established a protective formation for their cultivation, and convened the Heavenly Court and major factions to organize a campaign against the Fierce Beast Dynasty 401. Xue Ning, the materialized form of his comprehension of the Law of Blood, was acknowledged as his disciple and the Realm Lord's disciple 398.
