History
Li Jing is the commander of Chen Tang Pass and the father of Jin Zha, Mu Zha and Nezha. When Li Yuan visits his residence shortly after Nezha's birth, Li Jing is upset that all three of his sons are reincarnated immortals. He insists that they are his sons regardless, but resents that their reincarnations were arranged without consulting him 183 184.
Li Yuan tells Li Jing that Jade Emperor Haotian values him and offers him the prospect of becoming a divine official during the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Li Yuan says that, if Li Jing cultivates well, he could receive a second-rank or even first-rank position. Li Jing is delighted by the possibility of becoming a proper god; the offer is not itself a confirmed appointment 183.
Li Yuan also predicts that Li Jing will have a daughter who is not a reincarnated immortal. The prospect excites Li Jing so much that he promises to worship Li Yuan daily if it comes true. Li Zhenying is later identified as Li Jing's daughter, and she and Yang Shu are said to have studied military strategy under him since childhood 183 224.
