Wu Family

## Overview

The de facto most powerful family in the Immortal realm. Able to fully rival with multi familial groups like the Heavenly Court or the Alchemist Palace.

## History

### Origins

The "first" ever member of the Wu and the progenitor of the Wu family is Wu Shang. Wu Shang was born an orphan but rose through with initial hard work for a kingdom before finding his talent and becoming a star cultivator that rose so fast that he became a benchmark for the talent a cultivator had. Of course this only happened after many feats of worthy praise and whatnot.

He and the first ever candidate for the title of Heavenly Emperor, Sui Tian, were friends. Forming a strong bond of brotherhood but after the death of Sui by some Cosmic Dragonlords he went into seclusion to get more power and enact on his revenge. He then stormed in after thousands of years of progress in seclusion and wrecked havoc in the Cosmic Dragons Nest. So much havoc that they could not fight back in time nor properly and had to rebuild from square one basically, the Celestial Dragons were in a panic and this the True Dragon Clan stepped in and went to hunt Wu Shang. During this time he hid in a secret realm and started the family which would become so feared, with his wife Wu Yan and many of his allies from the eons before who integrated into the family and adopted the name of Wu, abandoning their former surnames.

After many many eras, they came out of the secret realm and managed to establish a dominating presence. The True Dragon Clan, still having not given up, went to battle with the Wu family and were slowly losing and knowing how shameful it'd be to their prestige as Dragons they declared a ceasefire.

### Rise

Throughout the eras after, the Wu family rose quite quickly even from their initial appearance. Extraordinarily talent was very commonplace in this family, Dao Bones or Heavenly physiques that other families would kill for were like dogs and cats. The people who stood out where either the hard workers, the ones with higher grades of talent, or those who had two or more of these extraordinary talents. The Heavenly Court of course saw this, while they tried to maintain a cordial relationship they could not help but feel very envious. Since the Heavenly Court was made up of 9 Main families and a multitude of many "smaller" families, they felt inferior not being able to fully suppress this one family. Alas the Heavenly Court didn't do much since the relationship of Sui Tian and Wu Shang was widely known at this point, and the Wu Family didn't have openly ambitions to overtake the Heavenly Court out of malicious intent nor to replace it.

[Wu Shang was born orphaned in some high grade Immortal World, from there he fought to survive and eventually became a solider through some harsh screening for an Immortal "mortal" kingdom. This is where he first met face to face with a cultivator. While unbeknownst to him at the time, that cultivator was only but a Qi Condensation warrior, he felt the absolute domination that the person commanded. So from then whenever he had free time he would study upon basic cultivation manuals. He stumbled around at first, nearly causing his own death by almost overloading his dantian, but after getting a good grasp at the basics. He rose fast, and fast he rose since he went from being a Qi Condensation to Nascent Core in only 300,000
