Chen Zhuo

Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Chen Zhuo studies in the Immortal Estate with an implanted, lower-grade wood-attribute Spiritual Root. His Fourth-Layer examination records a spiritual-energy sensitivity of 20 31. He does not know who his parents are and initially relies on his own resources 34.

The World-Breaking Pearl lets him travel between the Immortal Estate and the Ancient Immortal Realm. He first exploits differences between their markets, bringing ancient talisman materials to Immortal Estate buyers while carefully concealing his source 21 22. After attracting the Qiwu Sword Sect’s attention, he joins its Thunder Arts Lineage as the nominal final disciple of the deceased Zhongli Sheng 54. The sect later appoints him Sword Gate Daoist Heir and grants him access to the secret teachings of all five sword veins 90 118.

Chen eventually attains Foundation Establishment, wins the junior-college Dao Tournament title, and secures a place at Jade Purity University to study Automated Production and Manufacturing Technology 126 147 149. Before leaving the sect to train, he buys and personally refines a Fire-Type Heavenly Spiritual Root 150 151 152. His first journey into the Southern Wilderness brings him to Greenstone Market, where he defeats the defending cultivators, breaks its formation, and imposes order after entering 153 156 159.

Personality

Chen is ambitious, frugal, and alert to both profit and danger. He builds a cross-world trading business, takes loans to fund cultivation, and later turns tournament fame into endorsements; he also watches for followers, conceals the origins of his resources, and refers a suspicious treasure-hunting invitation to a sect elder rather than investigating alone 22 39 102 108.

His caution does not prevent loyalty or generosity. He extends Li Changqing credit, repays Sijing with interest because she trusted him personally, and shares cultivation guidance with Qiwu disciples 34 55 121. He is aware that the prodigy image others see depends partly on medicines, optimized techniques, and equipment, and resolves to develop Sword Intent of his own 69 105.
