Background / History

The Wu Tribe is one of the three great powers of the Primordial World, representing the Clan of Earth alongside the Demon Race as the Clan of Heaven and the Human Clan as the Clan of Humanity. It governs the land under the Dao Ancestor’s division of authority, while the Demon Race rules the heavens 11 27.

Its conflict with the Demon Race escalates when Dijun’s Golden Crow sons enter Wu territory, kill a Great Wu, and devastate the earth. High Shaman Houyi retaliates by shooting down nine Golden Crows, prompting Dijun, Donghuang Taiyi, Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin, and other leaders to confront one another. The sides avoid immediate war, but their enmity becomes irreconcilable 10 11.

Chen Yang later accompanies Pingxin—Houtu of the Twelve Ancestor Shamans—to Buzhou Mountain and lives among the Wu Tribe. There, he studies its body-tempering traditions, forging methods, battlefield Killing Intent, and military structure. His collaboration with the tribe produces the Battlefield Killing Formations and Totem Cultivation Method, substantially improving Wu military power 33 35 39 40.

Before the final war, the Wu Tribe accepts Chen Yang’s alliance proposal: Wu warriors serve as generals for Human Clan armies within Battlefield Killing Formations, addressing the tribe’s shortage of lower-ranking troops. Despite this reinforcement, Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin expect the tribe to face extinction and arrange for young clansmen, elite descendants, and bloodlines to survive through reincarnation, concealment, and integration with humanity 47.

During the final Wu–Demon war, the Wu Tribe initially gains an advantage through its strengthened High Shamans, Totem System, battlefield formations, and the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation. Its Pangu True Body ultimately clashes with the Demon Race and causes the Primal Chaos Bell to strike Buzhou Mountain, collapsing the pillar of heaven and devastating both the battlefield and the Wu Tribe’s formation 48 50.

Society and Culture

Body-Tempering Tradition

The Wu Tribe does not cultivate Primordial Spirits. Its members focus their cultivation on the physical body, allowing body, essence, qi, and strength to advance together rather than through separate systems 10 33.

• Each primordial Wu member possesses a body-tempering method derived from the Great Paths in their bloodline. 33
• Postnatal Wu practitioners cultivate inherited methods corresponding to their awakened bloodlines. 33
• High Shamans possess physical bodies comparable to the eighth level of the Nine-Turn Profound Art. 33
• Wu members can use blood sacrifice and heartblood to refine certain treasures formed from Pangu’s flesh and blood. 10 32
• Their weapons are forged to be durable, sharp, and saturated with murderous intent. 33

Known body-tempering arts include:

Art	User / Origin	Basis
Thick Earth Reincarnation Art	Pingxin/Houtu	Great Paths of Earth and Reincarnation 33
Blazing Flame Forging Art	Zhurong	Great Paths of Fire and Forging 33
War God Art	Xingtian	Great Path of War 33

Martial Culture

Battle and slaughter are central to Wu society. Large armies drill against captured beasts and Demon Race prisoners, while elite warriors—including High Shamans—spar with real weapons and accept severe injuries as part of training 33.

• Wu warriors naturally gather Killing Intent when fighting or assembling in large numbers. 33
• This Killing Intent increases their courage and combat ability while restraining certain Demon Race divine abilities. 33
• The greater the number of Wu fighters in battle, the more Killing Intent accumulates. 33
• The tribe also shelters humans and Human-Wu within its territory, training some of them as soldiers and later helping many return to the Eastern Sea Coast. 33 40

Military Formations

Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation

The Wu Tribe’s supreme formation is the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation, which uses the Twelve Ancestor Shamans’ power to manifest Pangu’s True Body. It is regarded as theoretically equal to the Demon Race’s Cosmic Star Formation, which gathers Pangu’s Primordial Spirit through the stars 28.

During the final war, the Ancestor Shaman Banners preserve the auras of all twelve Ancestor Shamans, including the absent Houtu. Through accumulated Killing Intent and faith, the formation successfully recreates Pangu’s image and power 50.

Battlefield Killing Formations

Chen Yang develops battlefield formations after observing how the Wu Tribe naturally gathers Killing Intent in war. The formations convert battlefield Killing Intent, enemy blood, and vitality into strengthening war clouds 33 35.

• Heaven-Covering Formation — Enhances an army’s offensive strength, unifies its forces, and lets its commander unleash a strike far beyond their normal power. 34 35
• Bird-Flitting Formation — Improves military mobility and speed. 35
• The formations allow weaker soldiers to support powerful Wu commanders effectively. 34 47
• Pingxin estimates that the formations can raise the Wu Tribe’s overall strength by more than thirty percent. 35
• Their effectiveness depends on warfare and slaughter; greater casualties generate more Killing Intent and energy. 35

Totem Cultivation Method

Chen Yang adapts visualization, formations, faith techniques, and Wu battle stances into the Totem Cultivation Method. Practitioners receive body inscriptions that absorb spiritual energy, temper the body, strengthen their foundations, and embody a corresponding Great Path 39 40.

• Xingtian’s essence blood and battle stance allow the Little Shaman Zhan Tian to become a Postnatal High Shaman. 40
• Little Shamans and Human-Wu use the method to break through cultivation bottlenecks. 40
• Wu battle stances are manifestations of the Great Paths within their users’ bodies. 40
• The tribe creates twelve Ancestor Shaman Banners bearing the Ancestor Shamans’ battle forms and gathers faith through worship. 40

Final Wu–Demon War

The Wu Tribe enters the final conflict fully mobilized, led by the Ancestor Shamans and reinforced by Human Clan armies. Its individual experts exceed those of the Demon Race, but its smaller population remains a critical weakness 47.

• Dijiang and Zhu Jiuyin reach the Primordial Unity Realm, while several other Ancestor Shamans stand at Half-Step Primordial Unity. 48
• Wu-led Human Clan formations force the Demon Race into retreat despite enormous human casualties. 49
• The Tribe manifests Pangu’s True Body through the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation. 50
• Donghuang Taiyi’s desperate use of the Primal Chaos Bell ends with the bell being knocked into Buzhou Mountain, collapsing it. 50
• The collapse destroys the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation, damages the Ancestor Shaman Banners, and inflicts severe backlash on the Shamans. 50
