Background / History
Early life and sword legacy
Fu Danwei traveled the cultivation world in his youth with the Fu Long Sword, earning a reputation for vanquishing Devils and defending the righteous path. In a major conflict with the Heavenly Demon Hall, he slew one-third of its disciples alone while its master was occupied by Nascent Soul cultivators. 22 145
In his later years, he sealed the Fu Long Sword within the Coiled Dragon Spiritual Vein. When the infant Fu Xuanxing was being overtaken by Dragon Qi, Fu Danwei joined the sword with the Southern Bright Li Fire Sword Sheath to suppress the condition and preserve the child's life. 145 159
Panlong Island patriarch
After Fu Henghua's parents died, Fu Danwei personally raised Henghua on Panlong Island. Their closeness made Henghua both the elder's most cherished grandson and the target of schemes intended to provoke Fu Danwei into demonic possession. 27
At the beginning of the story, Fu Danwei expected to die within a decade. He attempted to secure his family's future, protect Henghua within Langhuan Pavilion, and push his reclusive grandson to gain experience beyond Panlong Island. 1 2
The Heavenly Demon Hall targeted him because of their old enmity and sought to exploit his inner devil. Fu Danwei repeatedly suppressed this malice rather than allow it to endanger his family. 8 22 27
Nascent Soul tribulation
Fu Henghua spent considerable effort gathering the materials for medicine capable of extending Fu Danwei's life, including the Essence Accelerating Great Medicine and its difficult Zhou Hua Jade Dew base. 18
Fu Liuhui eventually refined the Two Principles Mysterious Ginseng Pill, restoring Fu Danwei's peak strength. He announced his Nascent Soul tribulation shortly afterward. 198 During the tribulation, he wielded nine winds and nine Sword Intents, formed the Nine Winds Return to Heavenly Immortal Formation, and used the Dragon King's residual power to cleave apart the Heavenly Thunder projection. 200
Numerous allies protected Yanlong's approaches during the ordeal, leaving Fu Danwei openly conscious of the debts he owed after achieving Nascent Soul. 200
Appearance
Fu Danwei is an elderly cultivator with white hair and a beard, often presented as an old master resting in Panlong Pavilion before abruptly revealing his imposing cultivation. 1
- White-haired and bearded. 1
- Carries himself with the leisure of a retired elder, but reacts sharply to threats against his household. 1 22
- Uses a jade ruler when traveling and inspecting affairs beyond Panlong Island. 245
Personality
Fu Danwei is stern, direct, and intensely protective of his descendants. He scolds and punishes Henghua for recklessness, but his actions consistently prioritize Henghua's safety, cultivation, and ability to survive outside Panlong Island. 1 123 245 485
He follows a chivalrous ideal: repaying kindness, opposing cruelty, and using the Fu Family's strength to stabilize Yanlong rather than merely expand its holdings. His defeat of the Wei Family's influence, support for public cultivation resources, and willingness to guide outside cultivators all strengthened the wider Yanlong cultivation world. 61 414 742 830
Despite his severity, he has a conspicuous fondness for matchmaking, arranging Dao companions among Panlong Island's servants, guests, and younger cultivators. 3 275
