Shi Wudu was born to a prosperous merchant household. Shi Qingxuan was born when Shi Wudu was six years old. Shi Qingxuan was cursed by a Reverend of Shi Wudu was born to a prosperous merchant household. Shi Qingxuan was born when Shi Wudu was six years old. Shi Qingxuan was cursed by a Reverend of Empty Words and to confuse the monster who marked a newborn boy, he was raised as a girl. Their familys prosperity gradually dwindled until Shi Wudus parents died when he was sixteen and the rest of the family fought for inheritance. Unable to stomach this infighting, Shi Wudu took his ten years old little brother and left to a mountain. Shi Wudu apprenticed under a cultivation master while Shi Qingxuan lived in the town on the foot of the mountain. Every day he would train until late and return home to eat deep in the night. One day, Shi Wudu forgot the time and trained later than usual. Worried for his elder brother, Shi Qingxuan went into the mountain with food where he was ambushed by the Reverend of Empty Words, answered to his birth name and told the monster his real birthday. He Xuan demands that Shi Wudu switch Shi Qingxuans fate with one of the miserable men in his domain or allow Shi Qingxuan to kill him with a rusty sword. Shi Qingxuan begs to be given a miserable fate arguing that they have lived for hundreds of years already. Shi Wudu wants Shi Qingxuan to kill him, saying to find General Pei Ming and ask him to take care of him. Shi Wudu argues that he wont be able to stand being incapable of helping his younger brother. This man, He Xuan, took the misfortune that was supposed to be Shi Qingxuans and suffered to death after losing all of his family members in various gruesome manners. Meanwhile, Shi Qingxuan unwittingly usurped his luck and successfully ascended. During his third Heavenly Calamity, Shi Wudu comes face to face with He Xuan, who had become a powerful ghost king. He also points out that he must have "at least a thousand" other enemies and Shi Wudu dying would keep him safe going forward as well. When its clear that Shi Qingxuan cant go through with it, Shi Wudu strangles him, saying that he would prefer his brother die than watch him suffer. He Xuan stops this by ripping his arms off of Shi Qingxuan. Shi Wudu then goads He Xuan into decapitating him. The two brothers lived under the terror of the Reverend for years afterward until Shi Wudu ascended as a Heavenly Official. He immediately took Shi Qingxuan to Middle Heaven and gave him many priceless treasures until Shi Qingxuan ascended as well and thus freed from the Reverends curse. But in truth, Shi Wudu has artifically caused Shi Qingxuan to ascend using an underhanded mean. He found a mortal of the same name and birthday who incidentally was fated to ascend.
