Background
Wu Chu arrived in the Primordial World as an outsider carrying a black phone that transformed into a merit spiritual treasure. Its former intelligent assistant manifested as Yibao, a tiny treasure spirit who became his closest adviser and companion. 3 5 6
After learning that he had entered the world through a broken mountain-protecting formation, Wu Chu settled at Purple Jade Mountain. He turned survival into a leisurely life of farming, cooking, raising animals, cultivating spirit plants, and teaching Yueling the pleasures of prepared food. 5 11 16 63
Although initially weak by Primordial standards, he steadily pursued cultivation while relying on practical knowledge, merit treasures, formations, and Yibao’s deductions. His early goal was not supremacy, but a secure and comfortable life spent tending land, travelling when convenient, and finding good food. 35 115
Personality
Wu Chu is pragmatic, curious, and notably willing to admit when he is outmatched. When challenged to a race by several Ancestral Witches whose divine abilities far exceeded his own, he simply conceded rather than indulge in empty pride. 171
He favors preparation over reckless treasure-hunting. He avoids opportunities that would force him to gamble his life against stronger cultivators, builds layers of protection around Purple Jade Mountain, and uses formations, spirit treasures, allies, and retreats as parts of a single survival strategy. 193 252 489
Despite his caution, Wu Chu enjoys boasting, teasing friends, and presenting himself as more mysterious than he is. His broad knowledge from his former world often makes him appear profound to Primordial beings, even when he is simply explaining ordinary concepts or offering “inspirational” remarks. 333 851
As his influence grows, he becomes increasingly committed to peace, education, and the long-term development of the Primordial World. He regards good and evil according to whether an action benefits or harms the world itself. 707 708
