Background / History

Wen Xingrui served as the Ethereal Void Immortal Sect's Artifact Refining Hall Master and was already a Golden Core expert when he demonstrated Tier 3 True Artifact refinement at Earth Fire Peak. His refinement process gave lower-ranked artifact refiners, including Wu Tao, an opportunity to study the differences between second- and third-tier work. 317 318

As the sole high-level Tier 3 Artifact Refiner among the Seven Righteous Sects, Wen oversaw the Immortal Boat project during the Righteous-Demonic War. He was ambushed while traveling to Purple Gold Grotto and Five Spring Mountain; Liu Tianquan betrayed him from within the Flying Void Boat, but Wen had anticipated the leak and survived the ensuing encirclement. 429 430 480

After refining the Star Sword and advancing to Tier 4 Low-Level Artifact Refiner, Wen received the complete Tier 4 artifact-refining manual from the Star Immortal Palace. He later returned to the Ethereal Void Immortal Sect, advanced again to Tier 4 Mid-Level, and continued leading its Artifact Refining Hall. 660 743

When the Devil Race threatened the Immortal Origin Realm, Wen refused to abandon the Ethereal Void Immortal Sect despite Wu Tao's plea to retreat together. He later survived the upheaval, reunited with Wu Tao in the War Merit Palace, and cultivated alongside him through the wider Three Realms conflict. 782 797 799

Personality

Wen is composed and sharp-eyed under pressure. During the Flying Void Boat ambush, he immediately recognized Liu Tianquan as the informant and maintained his poise while surrounded by enemies. 430

He is deeply loyal to the Ethereal Void Immortal Sect, considering its survival a personal responsibility even when withdrawal would have been safer. 782

Wen is proud of his standing as Wu Tao's master and pushes himself to keep pace with his disciple's extraordinary progress. He privately worries about being surpassed in artifact refinement, yet openly celebrates Wu Tao's accomplishments and trusts his strength. 658 741 827
