***Wang Mu's Master*** is a recurring character in I Shall Seal the Heavens and serves as Wang Mu's mentor throughout the novel. He is implied to be ***Xu Liguo***, a major supporting character from ***Renegade Immortal***.

## Appearance

He is described as an old man with the appearance of a monkey.

## Personality

Prideful and arrogant, Wang Mu's Master initially rejected Wang Mu's request to teach him, stating that he was too weak and unworthy. He claims that his old self would have beaten Wang Mu right there for his insolence and showed no respect to his Wang Clan heritage despite being the Ancient Sword Spirit of their First Patriarch.

However, once Wang Mu convinces him to accept him as a disciple, he is shown to be a capable mentor. He pushes his disciple to train hard to fulfill his desire of defeating his fellow Wang Clan rival Wang Tengfei and gives him one on one cultivation sessions.

Despite being full of arrogance, addressing himself as Grandpa Xu, he shows a soft spot for former friends, exhibiting complex emotions when he is visited by Slaughter.

## History

### Book 6

He is first mentioned in Book 6 being chased by Wang Mu within a bamboo forest in an unknown location. Wang Mu demands that he come with him, but is refuted and is even injured by the old man, who called himself Grandpa Xu. Wang Mu reveals that he is surnamed Wang in an attempt to persuade him, but is once again refused.

However, in the end it seems that he caved in to Wang Mu's request as when Wang Mu appears with the other chosen at the Immortal Daoist Rite Temple, a spectator comments that he had received the acknowledgement of the Wang Clan's Ancient Sword Spirit.

Later, when Wang Tengfei challenges Meng Hao with his newly developed God Tribe power, Wang Mu's Master comments how a worthy descendant had finally emerged, surpassing even that of his current disciple Wang Mu.

### Book 7

When Meng Hao and Slaughter arrive at the Wang Clan, he stumbles across Wang Mu, who had just finished a cultivation session with his master. Wang Mu states his desire to surpass Wang Tengfei to which his master coolly replies that he must train harder if he wants to do so. After his disciple leaves he notices Meng Hao and Slaughter, and upon seeing the later becomes filled with complicated emotions. They exchange a few words and he addresses Slaughter as Wang, indicating that Slaughter is a member of the Wang Clan.

### Book 8

When the Wang Clan surrenders to the Immortal God Continent during the war against the 33 Heavens, Wang Mu's Master laments over their decision, stating it to be an embarrassment. He chooses not to aid the Mountain and Seas in their struggle and decides to merely observe with the hopes that the Mountain and Seas Realm could make a comeback on their own.

## Trivia
