Background

Xiao Wuji originated from the Immortal Realm rather than any mortal dynasty or Kunlun Ruins bloodline. His exceptional talent drew the suppression of the Eastern Emperor Hall; while cornered, he tore open a spatial rift and escaped to the mortal world's Kunlun Ruins in a heavily wounded state. There, he met Ye Qingmei, and the two became lovers. 394

Ye Qingmei gave birth to twins: Xiao Yang and a daughter. With enemies surrounding the Supreme Dao Field and the Eastern Profound Great Emperor pursuing their family, Xiao Wuji left Xiao Yang with Ye Qingmei and sent his infant daughter away for her protection. 779

Around twenty years before Xiao Yang followed his trail, Xiao Wuji crossed the starry road toward the Divine Ruins alone. His overwhelming strength earned him the feared title of Madman Xiao Wuji; according to the One-eyed Dragon, he fought from one end of the ancient road to the other, treating star beasts and space-time traps as insignificant obstacles. 673

While exploring Buzhou Mountain for an opportunity to break through to the Great Emperor realm, Xiao Wuji triggered the God Binding Locks and became imprisoned by nine rune-covered chains. The curse covering him with dark-red hair steadily weakened and corrupted him. 691 696

Appearance

Xiao Wuji is first depicted as a handsome, white-robed swordsman standing unbowed amid world-destroying lightning. After years in Buzhou Mountain, his body becomes emaciated and is covered in ominous dark-red hair; following his resurrection, he returns to the imposing appearance of the Divine King. 394 691 745

• Usually wears snow-white robes and carries himself with detached confidence. 771
• Possesses a sword-like upright bearing and an aura of supreme Sword Intent. 394 769
• His hair turns silver-white when he reveals his restored Divine King power. 745
• While imprisoned, he is bound through his clavicles, spine, and limbs by nine God Binding Locks. 691

Personality

Xiao Wuji is proud, fearless, and intensely contemptuous of those who exploit weakness. Even when his Origin is damaged and powerful enemies covet it, he retains the bearing and killing intent of a Quasi-Emperor. 696

His ruthlessness toward old enemies contrasts sharply with his devotion to family. He burns his Origin to protect Xiao Yang, entrusts him with the Supreme Dao Field's rallying horn, and later prioritizes Xiao Yang's tribulation over pursuing the Eastern Emperor Great Emperor. 699 700 749

Though known as a “madman,” Xiao Wuji is also a calculating strategist. At Spirit Mountain, he deliberately uses Emperor Tathagata's formation of gathered faith to locate the concealed sword hilt rather than attempting to break the formation by force. 768
