Background / History

Entry into the Tower

Wu Yu enters the Bronze Tower after a burly attacker at his home dies and becomes a Card. Unable to find an ordinary explanation or a way to escape the tower’s altitude, he opens its gate. A stone chair inside restores his health, and his first panel identifies him as a Zhuxia human with Nameless Chaos and a Bronze Token 1.

He initially intends to follow immortal cultivation rather than the Martial Dao. His early assessment of martial training is shaped by modern technology: he considers decades of traditional practice inefficient beside powerful injections and cybernetic enhancements 11 23.

Newcomer Secret Realm

In the Newcomer Secret Realm, Wu Yu treats exploration as a survival problem rather than a game. He studies the map, fog deadline, extraction routes, and enemy tactics, while building explosive reserves from pebbles inscribed with Bi Fang Sigils 5 7.

He enters Redfang Village with a fabricated account of a bandit attack and pays Old Wu for information. After learning about the tiger wraiths and Mountain Lord, he develops his martial techniques, raids Evil Tiger Stronghold, and experiments with guided projectiles and enchanted weapons 9 14 18.

His equipment and planning culminate in the Mountain Lord’s defeat. Recognizing Yu Tiezhu’s unusual durability, Wu Yu gives him a sigil-laden Omen Blood Blade and has him endure the beast’s bite long enough to detonate the sigils inside its mouth. He then treats Yu Tiezhu with a Three-Treasure Vitality Pill and collects the Mountain Lord Soul 38.

Before leaving, he bargains with Chen Lingling over a hidden quest, buries an unnamed ancient martial artist, and helps revive the severely weakened Liu Zheng with Spirit Wine. Back home, he discovers that almost no real-world time has passed 42 44 46.

Three-Path Cultivation and True Martial City

Wu Yu’s first rewards make him transcendent in both spirit and essence refinement before he begins qi cultivation. With Star River Group support, he learns One Qi Becomes Three Pure Ones and rapidly reaches Qi Refining, establishing a three-path approach to growth 48 52 65.

In True Martial City, he chooses a hidden quest supporting a True Martial royal descendant and rescues the former village chief’s group from a Heavenly Prison escort. His alliance with Zhao Yulian leads to the True Martial Blessing and later supports the development of his Night Watcher identity 83 596.

He also takes a decisive role against the transformed Temple Warden, then devastates the Huang, Chen, and Li families. His attack on the Li patriarch follows the discovery that the patriarch uses young women and infants in a blood art and regards commoners as disposable resources 100 105 106 107.

Protecting His Family

After returning to ordinary life, Wu Yu rescues his cousin Li Yuzhu and her companions from the Wolf Pack bar. He exposes the person who lured them there, destroys the bar, and confronts two cybernetic monks connected to Spirit Mountain Technology; their self-destruction prevents him from recovering the evidence 129.

Town Chief Huang Si initially plans retaliation but changes to flattery and gifts after learning of Wu Yu’s Star River Group connection. Wu Yu refuses his offers and later kills him when Huang Si continues plotting to control or eliminate him. The local inspectors conceal the killing as gang gunfire 130 131.

Dusk City and the Twilight Witch

Wu Yu’s Bronze Token becomes permanently bound to Dusk City, a Special Great Ruins whose full arrival after one hundred omens threatens a catastrophic collision with the real world. He responds by investing heavily in all three cultivation paths and declines recruitment into the Investigation Division 148.

At the Supreme Castle, he disrupts the Dusk Duke’s faith power before unleashing Lunar Yin Talismans and a massive Bi Fang attack. The resulting Calamity Fire kills the duke, Mithril Maid, and Legion Commander, leaving Wu Yu nearly depleted. He acknowledges the latter two’s assistance and hopes that saving the Twilight Witch fulfills their wish 228.

The Twilight Witch subsequently accompanies him into domestic life and company work. He introduces her to his parents as his foreign girlfriend, “Huang Hun,” and brings her along on the assignment to apprehend the cyber-disease patient Huang Jiuliu 250 256.

Spirit Void Ancient Realm and Sword Cultivation

At the Immortal-Burial Daoist Temple, Wu Yu reunites with his companions under the name Wu Tian. He hunts monsters, trades their cores, and acquires cultivator equipment, including the Blackfeather Flying Sword and Greenleaf Flying Boat 292 301 303 305.

His encounters with Wang Juemie lead to a concealed Medicine Garden and the Nine-Infant Beast’s blessing. He later advances Nine-Infant Profound Light Sword with Swordheart Spirit Liquid and sells a collection of rare goods to Hidden Heaven Pavilion for one million spirit stones 308 314 328.

His confidence does not eliminate caution: after destroying the Crow’s Nest, he abandons further treasure hunting when his Heavenly Eye warns that an approaching monster is far beyond his strength 301.

Secret Sea World and Foundation Preparations

In the Secret Sea World, Wu Yu fights in Soul Projection to fulfill his agreement with Chen Lingling and protect the group. A Mythic Treasure Chest yields ten Cards, including an Ancient Dragon Heart whose exposure could attract a deity’s attention 523 524.

His relationship with Amy, the Dragonblood Noble, contributes to an exceptional settlement. He receives a nine-star Legend rating, 1.35 million Great Ruins Source Points, and ten selections from twenty enhanced reward options. He prioritizes useful upgrades and Foundation Establishment resources while rejecting a reward connected to the Deep Ones 546 547.

After extended cultivation, Wu Yu seeks a suitable Daoist temple and receives Lin Shouyuan’s help securing Chaos Yin-Yang Heaven, its Spirit Realm Seed, and the Chaos Formless Stone. He prepares a temple at home and enters seclusion 556 569 578.

Foundation Establishment

Wu Yu’s breakthrough develops into a month-long disturbance affecting the Dragonblood Lake Complex. Star River Group seals off the area, while Liu Tianming and Mo Bufan protect residents and stabilize space. Three manifestations resembling Wu Yu at different ages dominate the phenomenon 580.

The transformation becomes dangerous when Wu Yu loses awareness and appears divided between past, present, and future. The Twilight Witch calls Chang Xi, whose intervention saves him. He awakens amid the complex’s ruins as a Foundation Establishment True Person; his body, soul, and former cultivation structures have been integrated into an immense Spirit Realm 582.

Lin Shouyuan subsequently arranges access to the time-oriented Torch Dragon Observes Day and Night lineage rather than the unavailable later stages of One Qi Becomes Three Pure Ones. Wu Yu must still complete one final month of Academy classes 586 589.

City of Five Defilements

On his next expedition, Wu Yu discovers that forty-seven years have passed in the Strange God Martial Realm since his previous meeting with Zhao Yulian. He intervenes on her behalf, accepts the group’s quest rewards and lodging, and helps her through Frostsky Purgatory 596 597 606.

He brings Zhao Yulian out of danger, provides swordgrass for her breakthrough, and encounters her reborn ancestor, Zhao Polu. Wu Yu refuses Zhao Polu’s proposed marriage and Zhao Clan membership because he cannot commit to remaining in that world 606 608.

After learning Frost Heaven Divine Sword and All Beings Great Hand Seal, he confronts the Long Family and completes “Little Devils Are Hard to Deal With.” He retreats from a potentially divine Shaman Mask attack rather than prolonging the fight. When missile strikes injure civilians, he heals people across several streets instead of joining the attackers 608 609 618 619.

His later encounter with Xu Qinghe opens “Sorrow of the Mountain Lord.” He questions her concealed identity and dangerous equipment before agreeing to cooperate; during the ensuing confrontation, his Blackfeather Flying Sword is left close to destruction 633 636 641.

The “If” Narrative

Chapter 566 presents a possible life without the Tower’s opportunities, not Wu Yu’s established death. In this scenario, robbery and corporate dependence lead him through decades as an enforcer to the purchased position of Apocalypse Town’s chief. The Resistance Army eventually kills him with a single punch 566.

Appearance

Wu Yu is described as having a flawless face and physique, while his demeanor makes him seem older than his actual age. His martial cultivation can visibly enlarge his body during combat 129 171.

• Short hair: Local cultivators initially wonder whether he is a monk 285.
• Muscular transformed physique: His early martial advances produce prominent muscles and a body brimming with strength 23 48.
• Combat enlargement: Reaches 2.8 meters tall while fighting in silver armor 171.
• Temporary golden patterns: Appear when he refines divine blood, then fade because his newly transcendent blood qi cannot sustain the manifestation 48.
• Concealable supernatural bearing: Uses One Qi Becomes Three Pure Ones to restore his usual appearance after sword training; after Foundation Establishment, breath concealment makes him appear unexpectedly ordinary 328 591.

Personality

Wu Yu is analytical, guarded, and willing to experiment. He tests sigils on different materials, combines unrelated abilities, and prepares escape routes or external assistance before dangerous confrontations. He usually prefers acting alone when companions’ talents and intentions remain uncertain 16 60 618.

His ambition is tempered by practical limits. He abandons loot when faced with a superior monster, saves rare medicines for suitable uses, and treats recovery supplies as essential rather than assuming accelerated cultivation removes its costs 187 301 417.

He can be ruthless toward enemies, using deception, ambushes, and overwhelming violence. That ruthlessness coexists with selective restraint: he spares Wang He after interrogation, avoids exploiting vulnerable women, and heals civilians injured by missile strikes 105 107 131 270 619.

Family and friendship strongly influence his choices. He protects Li Yuzhu, seeks safer housing for his relatives, warns Chen Feng about his health and relationships, and helps Yu Tiezhu search for his missing daughter 130 139 145 342.

His humor frequently punctures otherwise imposing displays of power. He jokes about having “a billion times” more strength, calls a returning dagger a “knockoff flying sword,” and celebrates new advantages as making him invincible—claims the Twilight Witch readily teases 18 100 544 656.

Abilities & Skills

One Qi Becomes Three Pure Ones

• A top-tier Daoist method requiring 2,592 circulation paths for a Great Heavenly Circuit; creates spiritual-power meridians and an innate spirit sea 52.
• Its manifestation permits triple spellcasting at the same cost, but its foundation-building stage allows only one Great Heavenly Circuit per day 52.
• Produces exceptionally high-quality spiritual power capable of nourishing refined artifacts inside his qi sea 303 305.
• Only one person can successfully cultivate it at a time; the fates of earlier practitioners are uncertain 142.
• Serves as the foundation for his Chaos Yin-Yang Heaven breakthrough, although Lin cannot provide its later cultivation stages 579 586.

Chaos Spirit Realm

• Integrates his body, soul, mind, will, spiritual foundations, and abilities during Foundation Establishment 580.
• Replaces his ordinary psionic organs with an unusually vast inner Spirit Realm and grants instinctive flight and supernatural movement 582.

• Can be suppressed, though unexplained outward manifestations remain after his breakthrough and may be connected to time 586.

Sigils and Talisman Crafting

• Bi Fang Sigil: Initially placed silently on almost any visible surface within ten meters, including human bodies; multiple sigils can be stacked 7.
• Projectile traps: Inscribes pebbles, daggers, and blades for guided attacks, ambushes, and delayed explosions 14 18 32.
• Material sensitivity: Tests show pebble sigils are weaker than blade sigils, while human-body sigils are strongest among those comparisons; larger sigils generally carry more power 60.
• Bi Fang Talismans: Cultivation-based inscription produces a far stronger version capable of unleashing Calamity Fire 60 228.
• Lunar Yin and Withering Sigils: Additional arts granted through Sin Immortal; Lunar Yin is used for control and alongside Bi Fang attacks 145 419.
• Limits: Early inscription consumes vitality. His newly empowered Foundation Establishment talisman seals last only forty-eight hours 5 14 618.

Martial Cultivation

• Three Purities Grotto-Heaven Method: Combines three related methods, transforming viscera and limbs into psionic organs containing divine strength 266 267 417.

• True Martial Arcane Treasury: Houses sacred-beast manifestations within his transformed organs; White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird are explicitly documented together 305.
• Dragon God’s Rhythm: Consumes mental power to permanently increase blood qi; Heaven’s Return supplies a renewable source of mental recovery 534 589.
• Mountain-Moving Force: Grants immense physical force but drains blood qi and divine strength so quickly that he must actively suppress it 422.

Divine Sense and Soul Refinement

• Develops through Tiger Roar Soul-Refining Diagram and later Dusk Soul-Refining Method 48 417.
• Controls flying weapons, moves objects, transmits messages, perceives surroundings, and intimidates or incapacitates opponents 58 156 347 417.
• After Foundation Establishment, can extend ten thousand meters or farther. He estimates that lifting a small building would require little effort, but does not test it at the company 589.
• Overhears the Long Family youths plotting from roughly half a kilometer away 614.
• Tiger Roar and Dragon Cry: Uses soul-shaking roars offensively and supports allies with Dragon’s Roar; can attack supernatural power sources such as the Dusk Duke’s faith 228 235 400.

Soul Projection and Movement

• Soul Projection: Fights outside his physical body and challenges opponents’ assumption that a cultivator’s projected soul is fragile 523.
• Rainbow Transformation: Enables rapid arrival, pursuit, and evasion; lets him outpace the Long patriarch’s unleashed martial attack 459 523 617.
• Starstorm: Combines with Wind Control Technique to provide flight, control, and lethal starlight-driven winds 240.
• Five-Element Escape: Supports accelerated cultivation and passively reduces the cost of Five-Element Heavenly Thunder alongside Sky-Soaring Five Pillars 417 422.
• Limit: Soul Projection can be repelled by suitable automatic defenses, as demonstrated by the Twilight Witch’s Dusk Long Dress 250.

Sword Cultivation

• Nine-Infant Profound Light Sword: A gold Tier 5 technique that can grant Nine-Colored Mysterious Light sword intent upon mastery; he develops lethal Profound Radiance Sword Qi while still a beginner 314 328.
• Frost Heaven Divine Sword: A red-grade Dao Foundation art whose sword intent creates an icy mountain and broken sword inside his Spirit Realm 608 609.
• Equipment interaction: His new Frost Heaven sword intent suppresses his Waning Sun Sword Body, destroys the energy in Divine Sword Grass, and interferes with a flame enchantment 609.
• Training burden: The Frost Heaven art requires enormous further cultivation, despite the century of experience supplied by its Card 609.

Mountain Lord Summoning

• Summons Big White Cat, a white Mountain Lord that can shrink to ordinary-cat size 48.
• Communicates with it through shared Divine Sense and merges it with the Tiger-Soul Sword to increase the weapon’s power and deter seizure 58.
• Uses its full form to block exits, terrorize opponents, fight guards, and disrupt coordinated martial attacks with a roar 83 105 106.

Healing and Protection

• Yi Wood Divine Light: Protects injured allies and heals civilians, including a person trapped beneath rubble 523 619.
• Healing limitation: Cannot overcome the Kalia Cult’s blood-sword curse without specialized help; Amy must first break the divine curse affecting Liu Zheng 544.
• True Essence defenses: Uses the True Essence Blood Spirit Ring against missiles and gunfire, and True Essence Hand shielding against violent sword qi 156 339.

All Beings Great Hand Seal

• Life-Deliverance Seal: A lethal form framed as ending suffering through killing 609.
• Sentient Beings Seal: Influences the mind, causing victims to abandon reason in pursuit of pleasure 609.
• Strengthens his body and manifests a temple with a Joyful Buddha statue in his Spirit Realm, but he cannot yet unleash its full power 609.

• Profound Spirit Heavenly Eye: Assesses dangerous supernatural threats and warns him away from an overwhelmingly powerful monster 301.
• Cybernetic salvage: Applies knowledge learned at the Old Wu Clinic, aided by Divine Sense, to remove usable components from damaged bodies 156.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Heaven’s Return / Bronze Tripod — Growth-capable wondrous item that restores mental energy, vital energy, and spiritual power. Its accelerated recovery can strip away his emotions; later supplies include corrosive Death Blackwater and mental-power-restoring Azure Teardrops 28 301 656.

• Tiger-Soul Sword — Gold-quality, soul-damaging blade controlled with Divine Sense. Big White Cat merges with it to strengthen it and make seizure dangerous 42 58.
• Omen Blood Blade — Purple-quality weapon whose transcendent material holds five Bi Fang Sigils; central to the original Mountain Lord kill 32 38.

• Karot’s Skinning Knife, Fire Crow Bow, and Psionic Pistol — Weapons used for close combat, ranged kills, and tactical distractions 105 217 400.
• Portable Cabin — Furnished mobile space with living, sleeping, and storage areas; used to contain Zhao Xiaoming 440.

• Moon Palace’s Little Story After the Rain / My Little Story — Mysterious books linking his Tower identities to personified stories. The Twilight Witch cannot perceive or receive the later book’s contents, and the meaning of “Fate deviation +1” remains unresolved 58 419 420.
• Beast-Binding Rope — Prepared during the confrontation involving the Black-Gold Mountain Lord 641.
• Artifact Master’s Favor Card — Reward he considers using with rare materials to obtain custom equipment 649.
