The character 巫 wu besides the meanings of "spirit medium, shaman, witch doctor" (etc.) also has served as a toponym: Wushan 巫山 (near Chongqing in Sichuan Province), Wuxi 巫溪 "Wu Stream", Wuxia 巫峽 "Wu Gorge".[10]
Chu Feng first encountered Jiang Wushang at the Marriage Gathering of the Prestigious Villa. While Chu Feng was being pressured by senior cultivators, Jiang Wushang stepped in to level the playing field by forcing a one-on-one fight between Chu Feng and Jie Qingming, while convincing Jie Qingming to limit his cultivation to the same realm and rank as Chu Feng.

Several days later, during the second phase of the Marriage Gathering, after the failed assault on Thousand Monster Mountain, Chu Feng saves Jiang Wushang from a powerful spirit formation while seeking out the hidden treasures of Thousand Monster Mountain.
Jiang Wushang can pass the Four Seas Academy entrance exam with great results. He is taken as a personal disciple of one of the Four Seas Academy's 10 Divine Instructors. (The 10 Divine Instructors are the 10 strongest instructors within the Four Seas Academy and thus hold the most control over the academy.)
Zhang Tianyi tells Chu Feng that Jiang Wushang is in the World's Hidden Valley which is in the territory of the King Monstrous Dragon Beasts. When Chu Feng comes to visit him he is working in a mine in the World's Hidden Valley as punishment because he has been wrongfully accused of stealing by Song Yuheng. The master of the World's Hidden Valley Duan Jidao knows that he was framed but because he has a good relationship with the Grandfather of Song Yuheng and wants to pass Emperor Huangs Bloodline onto him he decides to still punish Jiang Wushang. After Chu Feng exposes that Duan Jidao has been deceived by Song Yuheng Grandfather Duan Jidao kills Song Yuheng, his father and his Grandfather and passes Emperor Huangs Bloodline onto Jiang Wushang.
After Chu Feng once again returns to the Holy Land of Martialism, he meets his old friends and family members. There he found a volcano that had been dubbed a "Sacred Cultivation Ground" by everyone in the Holy Land of Martialism. Chu Feng was suspicious about the origins of the volcano that had suddenly appeared from out of nowhere but convinced by his brothers, Zhang Tianyi and Jiang Wushang that the volcano was not dangerous. Unknown to them that there was a monster lurking in the depths of the volcano, a place that they could not reach, that was slowly eating away the happiness in everyone to awaken itself. When Chu Feng tried to warn them about the dangers of the volcano he was berated by Zhang Tianyi, saying that Chu Feng simply fears that they had surpassed his cultivation and they would continue to go farther than him. After the monster in the volcano is awakened by Chu Feng, it proceeded to try to suck away the cultivation it had granted all those who trained using it but was immediately stopped by Chu Feng. After he easily defeated a monster they were completely powerless against they realized that Chu Feng's cultivation base was in a realm they could never be able to fathom.
The war between two sects might sucessfully be avoided, but Bai Xiaochun then faced a personal war between his two girls: Song Junwan and Hou Xiaomei. Could not take it anymore, he then went to accept a mission in war with Profound Sect. Though concerning to his importance, patriarchs only gave him an easy safe mission: sweeping late Profound Sect's posts/cities which has already been fallen. He's leading a couple hundreds mixed cultivators to become a solid respectable troop, using his failed concoction medicines as weird bombs, saving Xu Xiaoshan along the way to the front. He also managed to save a badly injured Xuemei in the critical time (at the time, he still taught that she actually is Du Lingfei).
Some thirty years after the Maoshan revelations, a descendent of Ge Hong, named Ge Chaofu went into a mediumistic trance and authored a set of texts called the Numinous Treasure (Lingbao) teachings. These works were ritual recitation texts similar to Buddhist sutras, and indeed they borrowed heavily from Buddhism. At first, the Shangqing and Lingbao texts belonged to the general stream of the Celestial Masters and were not considered separate sects or movements within Daoism, although later lineages of masters emphasized the uniqueness of their teachings.
Daoism became a complete philosophy of life, reaching into religion, social action, and individual health and physical well-being. A huge network of Daoist temples known by the name Dongyue Miao (also called tianqing guan) was created through the empire, with a miao in virtually every town of any size. The Daoist masters who served these temples were often appointed as government officials. They also gave medical, moral, and philosophical advice, and led religious rituals, dedicated especially to the Lord of the Sacred Mountain of the East named Taishan. Daoist masters had wide authority. All this was obvious in the temple iconography. Taishan was represented as the emperor, the City God (cheng huang) was a high official, and the Earth God was portrayed as a prosperous peasant. Daoism of this period integrated the Three Teachings (sanjiao) of China: Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. This process of synthesis continued throughout the Song and into the period of the Ming Dynasty.
The Türks were originally nomads that migrated with their cattle from pasture to pasture along the rivers in the steppe area south of the Altai Range (at that time called Jinshan 金山). They lived in felt tents (qionglu 穹廬), ate meat and drank milk or fermented milk, wore furs in winter and woolen cloth in summer, usually with the left sleeve left free. They were excellent in shooting from horseback and produced many kinds of weapons of horn, wood, and even of metal after they had learned to cast bronze and iron. Their main "export" goods to China were coarse cloth, horses, and fish glue. Other steppe tribes relied on the metallurgical expertise of the Türks.
Qin Wushang makes Yun Che a disciple of the inner palace so he can cultivate fairly like Murong Yi. Yun Che chooses to train in the Heavy Sword, the Overlord's Colossal Sword. Jasmine is moved by it because Yun Che resembled her brother, so she gives him the Great Way of the Buddha to cultivate.[51]
Fen Juechen felt completely humiliated so he decided to not participate, since there were no more participants, Yun Che suggested to bring Xia Yuanba along with him, which was accepted by Cang Yue, and Qing Wushang told him that he must get a high position in the tournament.[60]
He fought many matches, not losing even a single one. Many people tried to harm him because of Fen Juecheng, still, he was able to defeat them all without receiving any injuries. Mu Tianbei arrogantly invited Yun Che to join the Heavenly Spear Thunderfire Fortress despite knowing that Cang Yue and Qin Wushang were present. Yun Che turned down his invitation with humiliating words towards them, Mu Tianbei was angry and planned to take down Yun Che using Mu Xiongyan, but he was still defeated.
Yun Che then met the 10 years old Su Ling'er, who was being chased by her father's enemies. He saved her and met her father, Su Hengshan. Even though he was mentally prepared to the fact that it was a dream created by the Evil God and not the real life, he still continued with it to try to understand Su Ling'er's past and help her.
While Su Hengshan was in trouble dealing with his clan's problems, Yun Che appeared and defeated Su Haoyu, claiming that he was also a part of the Grandwake Clan because he is Su Ling'er's fiance. Su Hengshan accepted it.
On the Azure Cloud Continent, Yun Che found that Su Hengshan was captured by the Seven Stars Divine Palace on the Grandwake Clan's prison, he killed all of them and set him free. Su Hengshan tried to commit suicide after giving him Su Ling'er's soul crystal so Yun Che can go rescue Su Ling'er faster, but he was healed by Yun Che using the Great Way of the Buddha. Before going to rescue Su Ling'er, Yun Che appeared in front of Su Haoran and the others, crippling them and torturing and completely destroying Su Haoran's future.
He sent Yun Gu and Su Ling'er to the Primordial Profound Ark while he faced them all and crippled the three Monarchs, he didn't kill anyone because it would make Yun Gu sad and guilty. After convincing Yun Gu, Yun Che went back to the Illusory Demon Realm along with Su Ling'er, Yun Gu and Su Hengshan.
He was going to receive the Ice Phoenix Engraved Jade from Mu Sushan until Mu Fengshu arrived and caused him problems due to her enmity with Mu Bingyun. She tells him to normally go through the test like all the other disciples, Yun Che accepted despite Mu Xiaolan's disapproval.
Yun Che successfully passed the second and third test, following Mu Sushan's suggestions he stayed for some time in the third test in order to be low-key, but he lied to him and the time he stayed inside was enough to make him get the first place.
Li Mingcheng and Ji Hanfeng didn't like that outcome so they tried to make trouble for him, only to be revoked by Mu Xiaolan who thought that Yun Che cheated and tried to cover it for him. Mu Sushan didn't help, instead he made him fight against Li Mingcheng because he was curious about him.
Mu Fengshu then tried to kill Yun Che by herself despite Mu Sushan's complaints, when she was about to succeed, Mu Bingyun appeared to save Yun Che. Mu Bingyun invited Yun Che into her Thirty-six palaces and he received the Starpicker Stone and Jadefallen Ice Soul Pellet. He left along with Mu Bingyun and Mu Xiaolan, giving his sound transmission imprint to Feng Mo due to his help.
Zhang Rishan appreciates competence, even when it comes from someone he knows is an enemy. So when he notices one member of Boss Chen's team is smarter and more capable than the rest, he can't help but keep an eye on him. Little does he expect the ties that will bind them together. 2ff7e9595c
