How Weak is Yiling Laozu in Your Imagination?

A lot of people seem to think that Wei Wuxian in Yiling Laozu era may be a weak and helpless man, because they think without a Golden Core he would be vulnerable.

But let's see the fact written in the novel.

Lan Wangji's hand strength is unquestionable. Bichen seems thin but actually a very heavy sword. Lan Wangji only guessed that WWX's spiritual energy is damaged, yet he thought WWX still has his golden core regardless. Conclusion: whenever Lan Wangji used Bichen to confront Wei Wuxian, it may not be a deadly strike but will never be light either, especially in Nightless City when Lan Wangji looked like he wanted to destroy ChenQing.

With the fact above, Wei Wuxian can actually parry Bichen's strike using one hand with ChenQing during their quarrels. So...if He is a weak and helpless man, his arm would have been dislocated or broken since long ago, unable to receive Bichen's strikes.

Next facts. During the Bloodbath in Nightless City an arrow was shot and embedded in his chest, yet Wei Wuxian shot back the arrow without using any bow, directly hit the culprit's chest and killed him on the spot.

Needless to say, how much the power used to shoot a cultivator on their vital and able to kill them directly. Afterward, Wei Wuxian was still able to play ChenQing, control the fierce corpses, and fought with Lan Wangji like he wasn't hurt in the slightest.

He was able to strangle and broke the neck of that cultivator who killed Jiang Yanli. A cultivator who has golden core and has their body tempered and trained, not just like any other mortal, had their neck broken using only a hand's grip.

In the condition when Wei Wuxian had just been shot by an arrow in his chest, and had just been lifted up from being grounded on the stone bed for 3 days by Wen Qing, probably hadn't eaten anything during those days and directly go to Lanling to see Jiang Yanli and directly go to Nightless City afterward. In that situation, Wei Wuxian still had that much strength.

So, even without a golden core, Yiling Laozu Wei Wuxian was still as strong as a cow, lol.

That's only his physical fitness, not him using his Demonic Cultivation to control ghosts or demons.

Yiling Laozu Wei Wuxian is never a Weak and helpless man.

Modern Prompt:

Everyone knows that Lan Qiren was just using this as an excuse to pick on Wei Wuxian.

Wei Wuxian, a mostly well behaved scholarship student with a hint of mischief was just a bit too loud for Cloud Recesses Academy but for Lan Qiren that makes him the worst of the thugs. He was at the top of all his advanced classes alongside Lan Wangji(Lan Qiren’s most prized pupil and nephew).

Everyone knows that Wei Wuxian didn’t cheat and that the page and writing was Jin Zixun’s. But between the Jins a well known prestigious family and Wei Wuxian a scholarship student well…….. the school was a bit too convinced that Wei Wuxian was the cheater and Lan Qiren the instructor during the time of the test wasn’t helping his case.

Lan Qiren had his assistant call his guardians to Gusu. Since Jiang Fengmian was an old friend, he planned to convince Jiang Fengmian to transfer out Wei Wuxian since Cloud Recesses Academy wasn’t the right place for him and it was the best for everyone and to avoid drama with his wife.

But to his surprise thats not who came. Wei Wuxian’s grandma Wen Popo(I know that’s not her name but how else would you recognize her) and Wei Wuxian’s older sister Wen Qing came carrying a large trunk with her. Lan Qiren was so surprised and confused because he was sure the Jiangs were fostering Wei Wuxian. He had even asked Jiang Wanyin several times how his parents put up with Wei Wuxian and he even responded that he was always causing trouble for the family.

Wei Wuxian also came to greet them and even introduced Lan Wangji to his family, he didn’t look nervous at all. Wei Wuxian was surprised his big sister Wen Qing came and missed university and she told him that she wasn’t missing the show because she hasn’t seen Wen Popo this furious in some time, she even brought snacks.

Wei Wuxian was told to go kneel outside as Wen Popo, Wen Qing and Lan Wangji(he forcibly entered as a witness of the incident) went in. An hour later they come out and Wen Popo was as calm as always followed by Wen Qing looking red in the face still laughing and crying and Lan Wangji looking very impressed and glancing respectfully at Wen Popo.

Several instructors and members of the faculty came out after them and could be seen running away(breaking the rules)and looking very fearfully at Wen Popo every few seconds. Lastly Lan Qiren came out very red and was trying to conceal what looked like tears in his eyes. He left a very healthy space between himself and Wen Popo and apologized to Wei Wuxian for thinking he cheated and told him that Jin Zixun would be expelled and he wouldn’t have to be worried of him again. Wei Wuxian just told him that he was just glad that it was over.

As the family was going to town to eat lunch with Lan Wangji. Wen Popo could be seen telling Lan Qiren who looked very frightened that she’s going to come more often to make sure nobody is bullying her grandson and she could be seen smiling looking directly at him.

Wei Wuxian could be seen walking away with his grandmother hugging her and taking her trunk for her.

#I’ve always wanted Wen Popo to talk shit to Lan Qiren for some reason #a strong woman that took in her 3 grandchildren and even adopted a sweet Wei Wuxian #by herself #the reason the Jiangs never corrected that they never adopted Wei Wuxian was to save face #and since Wei Wuxian was doing so well in school they were now embarrassed that they didn’t actually adopt him #mdzs #mo dao zu shi #grandmaster of demonic cultivation #canon jiang cheng #prompt or summary

Just hear me out. Like something's cooking and I CANT sleep on it.

Lan WangJi, pristine and all-too-powerful, lives on an island that is secluded from all the worldly continents and problems, so secluded that The Island isn't even on the map. Nobody can find that Island unless summoned through the Magic. He lives on that Island with the Lan clan, their strict rules and overly trained habits. And obviously, LWJ is the perfect example for all of it. One of the most important Rule being that anyone who leaves the Island cannot return to it.

But there is this mega important prophecy about a 'war that will end all wars' and that keeps triggering LWJ with nightmares and whispers.

Enter, Wei WuXian.

A spy from a country fighting in the active World War, who was about to drown due to his plane crash and die but somehow passed through The Magic (or maybe The Magic purposely let him through) and witness being saved by LWJ and reach the island. WWX witnesses all these stoic and extremely gorgeous men that are definitely not from the Real World cuz instead of Guns and Bombs, Lan clan fight with Swords and Arrows. He is kept in trial where he reveals (much too painfully) about his journey and what's going on in the Real World.

WWX obviously tries to escape to save the Real world but 'always follow the right conscience' LWJ won't let him do it alone and so he steals the 'God Killer Weapon' and follows WWX much to his Uncle's disappointment and his Brother's despair [but Lan Huan being low-key proud that his little brother is following his heart:')]

Bring in LWJ innocence and WWX teasing, The War raging and LWJ being undefeatable, their sexual effing tension in the Enemy's (The Wens) Ball to which they had gone undercover, WWX's team of 4 [JC >:/, NHS >:), WN 0:) and WQ :)] and obviously himself and LWJ against all Bombs, Guns, Poisonous gas the world has to offer.

Cut to WWX's ultimate sacrifice to save the day so that LWJ can save the future and LWJ going through the agony of watching the Love of His Life's death [exploding like a dying star:'((]and being so shattered and un-consolable that in that very moment he literally Transforms into an un-killable God.

Yes, that's DC's Wonder Woman but God it fit so perfectly into MDZS character arc that I just couldn't help it.

My internet died for about half a week this month, so I had a really peaceful few days where I had an enforced excuse to do nothing but relax and read when I got home from work. It was incredibly zen and I really sank into my books that week.

The Call of the Wild

A classic novel that I’ve always meant to read. I was sick and headachy this month and decided that this was the perfect sort of relaxing, narratively rich book to listen to. I really enjoyed it, would recommend. It follows a dog named Buck who’s snatched from his home in southern California and is shipped off to work as a sled dog in the Yukon, where a need for strong dogs to help transport goods over the snow and ice makes them very valuable. Buck has to learn how to survive in this harsh environment as everything from the weather, his fellows dogs, and his human masters seem to fight against him.

A Complicated Love Story Set In Space // How To Bite Your Neighbour and Win A Wager

Putting these two together because my experience with them was pretty similar. For both I was intrigued by the title, got them from the library on a whim, and didn’t really mesh with either. I didn’t really get far enough in either to give much of a review, they just didn’t vibe. A Complicated Love Story Set In Space set up a scenario that didn’t really interest me — not surprising, I’m picky about my scifi — and How To Bite Your Neighbour and Win A Wager just had an… odd writing style to it. It very much feels like it’s main goal is to be a kinda horny about vampires which, if that’s what you want, all the power to you, but it’s wasn't doing it for me. I had to suspend way too much disbelief for the scenario to function.

Indiana Jones and the Cup of the Vampire // Indiana Jones and the Curse of Horror Island

A pair of choose your own adventure books I found at a used book sale. I picked them up out of sheer amusement, and they were basically what I expected and paid for: cheesy 1980s adventure stories with Indiana Jones as a nominal protagonist. They were both varying degrees of improbable, ridiculous, and racist so YMMV but they were fun to play with while I was down and out on the internet front.

The Kootenay Kidnapper

Eric Wilson is a classic Canadian author who writes children’s mystery/thriller novels. I’ve never read him before and decided to remedy that. At this point I choose to withhold judgement until I read another… I’m not sure how I felt about The Kootenay Kidnapper. It had some nice descriptive language, successfully raised the tension from time to time and made me really try to piece together who the villain was, but then also had some strange dead zones as well. The whole thing read a bit like a 1990s stranger danger PSA which was also… weirdly nostalgic? But also just weird. Would try another.

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation comic v3

I continue to be a MDZS simp, this is not news. 

The Radium Girls

I don’t read much nonfiction, but this book was so narrative in its writing that I seriously couldn’t put it down. Kate Moore took a historical event (the girls that were paid to paint watch dials with radium paint in the early 1900s) that had been written about in scientific and legal styles, and instead retells it with a primary focus on the girls themselves. You follow a variety of real life women over the decades and learn about the all the machinations that went into them being horrifically poisoned by radium, and how that changed the very foundation of American workplace safety. Super engaging, unspeakably appalling.

Scott Pilgrim v1/2

My brother and I started watching Scott Pilgrim Takes Off on Netflix and… wow, it is not what either of us was expecting but we are loving it. We’ve both been big Scott Pilgrim fans since the naughts. Since I haven’t reread the series in years I decided I should pick it up to help notice the differences between the original series and this new show — I have the big, coloured omnibus version, so I reread the first collection of stories which amounts to volume 1 and 2 of the original. 

Scott Pilgrim is one of those comics that if you’ve somehow never read then you really need to, it’s one of my all-time favourites. It’s a story about Scott Pilgrim, a young adult who’s awkwardly trying to figure himself out, combining a coming-of-age slice-of-life with magical realism. The mysterious girl he meets, Ramona Flowers, can travel a subspace highway through Scott’s dreams — of course, don’t they teach Canadians how to do that? Huh, maybe it’s an American thing. Scott is known to be the best fighter in the province and when he defeats an enemy they explode into a pile of coins. One of the Evil Exes has Vegan Powers, and another can summon demonic back up dancers. This story just does whatever the fuck it likes and I adore it for that.

Heaven Official's Blessing v3/4

I continue to be TGCF simp, this is not— seriously, the series continues to be excellent and I only get more and more invested in not just Xie Lian and Hua Cheng, but also in the side characters that are introduced. I was thrilled to have Shi Qingxuan become a bigger player in book 4, and really liked the whole plot with the Venerable of Empty Words and Black Water. Please, someone, help this guy…

The Wind in the Willows

Another classic I had never read that I decided to pick up. It was excellent, I can see why it’s stayed so beloved over the years. Though I love a good cute-animals-in-lil-clothes-living-cute-lil-lives story, so I was an easy sell. It was much more tame than the likes of Redwall, but had a bit more going on than the likes of Brambly Hedge — it keeps you very engaged, but never raises the stakes so high that it stops feeling light and comforting. It is essentially a collection of stories that follow Mole and Rat, a pair of friends that live together on the river, through the seasons and the various misadventures they and their friends go on.

The Woman They Could Not Silence

Since I liked The Radium Girls I decided to pick up another one of Kate Moore’s books. This one follows a woman who was intentionally committed to an insane asylum by her husband, purely because she was intelligent and outspoken, refusing to be cowed to his opinions or beliefs. This story details her time in the insane asylum, the abuses that the patients suffered, and how she came to fight the laws that allowed for such abuses to be perpetuated in the first place. A fascinating read about a historical figure I had never heard about before.

Between the Sylki Arranged Marriage AU and the Sylki Adultery AU and the thing I wrote for Sifki Week I feel like you and I are seeing into the parallel timeline where I am a successful yet reclusive author of filthy historical novels where the words "manhood" and "seed" get used more than they should (i.e. more than never) BUT the underwear that's being cast off in a lust-filled frenzy would be mostly accurate, and I'd be avoiding Goodreads in case I found out that this was not the secret behind the sales of what the supermarket book aisles advertise as "like Alison Weir but the characters fuck at least once every three chapters."

i'm reaching the end of playback and i'm putting it off because that'll be IT the books will be DONE. i think it's the wonkiest of the series. still good, mind, but getting a little shaky. it does have the funniest segment out of all the books where the narration actually follows marlowe sleeping with his client's secretary instead of cutting away or implying it. he turns around and when he looks back there is a beautiful, naked woman posing on the bed and beckoning him over. now this is not unexpected. they went to her house for a hookup. this is not sprung on him. he sought this out. but because he's marlowe he spends a whole paragraph complaining that women are getting too many ideas now. the world is gone to hell. you can't even undress them anymore. they're just naked. what has society come to. and she's looking at him from the bed, exhausted, like

'okay?'

#text post #she IMMEDIATELY throws him out of her house when they're done. like to the SECOND #rubbing her temples like 'this fucking guy.' you and me both lass #hello beautiful woman who wants me. would you care for one of my 'society is irredeemable' monologues. what are you doing to my zipper #you may think well rad-roche maybe his dick game is grandmaster level. i've read that book. it isn't

Canonically, Wen Chao, that biggest scumbag, actually has more virtuous mouth than Madam Yu.

"....Wen Chao felt greatly humiliated, and so he resented these four the most. Lan XiChen couldn't come this time, so he was fixated on the other three, scolding them everyday, exhibiting his power.

The one who suffered the most was Jin Zixuan. He grew up having been cupped within the palms of his parents. He had never undergone such humiliation before. If not for how the other disciples of the LanlingJin Sect stopped him and the fact that Wen ZhuLiu wasn't easy to deal with, he would have willingly killed himself along with Wen Chao on the first day. On the other hand, Lan WangJi seemed to be in a state of inner peace and absolute indifference, as though his soul had already risen out of his body.

And, Wei WuXian had been through years of Madam Yu's diverse methods of scolding when he was at Lotus Pier. He began to laugh whenever he stepped off the platform, hardly blinking an eye to such moments. "

....Wen Chao's scolding was said to be greatly humiliating for a proper Aristocratic children such as Jin Zixuan, enough to make him wishing to kill the other party and himself to wash the shame from such humiliation. Yet, it isn't actually as impactful as Madam Yu's.

Amazing isn't it?? LOL

Just imagine how appalling Madam Yu's mouth could be when she scolded others.

Is she really from the Aristocratic Family who should have learned decorum and etiquette? Why does she sound like those aunties in the market who cursed and scolded dogs and cats unscrupulously?

Fortunately XianXian and Shijie grew up not following the habit to have such awful mouth, but taking it as a grinding stone, to temper their hearts from people's malice.

Rewatching bits of The Grandmaster 2013 and picking up new details I never noticed before. In the scene where Tony Leung Ip Man is fighting the masters at the restaurant, Third Sister’s fight scene keeps cutting to her feet. I realised right then that her feet are horrifically tiny -- the movie takes place in the early 20th century and she’s wearing lotus shoes because she’s undergone the foot-binding procedure. She’s fighting and kicking Ip Man with just -- completely fucked up feet.

#The Grandmaster #The Grandmaster 2013 #holy shit?? #Like she is fighting the most offensive Bagua style with the most fucked up feet imaginable #I'm frankly shocked this woman can walk at all #holy shit??? #Like yes she lost -- but also she was fighting with the most cruel handicap ever
