Appearance

Shi Jingtian is a tall, sturdy young man with a conspicuously bald head, a rugged build, and an unrestrained presence. His casual manner often contrasts with the heavy staff he carries and the formidable blood-and-qi aura he displays in battle. 135 213

• Gleaming bald head; often scratches it when confused or frustrated. 135 233
• Broad, muscular body suited to body cultivation. 135 426
• Usually carries the dark Mountain Shaker Staff over his shoulder. 384 412
• Often wears simple robes and keeps a blade of grass in his mouth. 213 532
• His combat aura can manifest as an ancient demonic ape phantom. 412 432
• When fighting at full strength, the demonic-ape phantom can fuse with him and amplify his staff strikes with violent black radiance. 804

Personality

Shi Jingtian is boisterous, straightforward, and fiercely competitive. He speaks bluntly to opponents regardless of status, often escalating disputes with taunts and challenges rather than restraint. 315 656

Behind his rough manners, he is notably loyal. He intervenes for Lu Changsheng despite only knowing him briefly, gives up the Supreme Heaven Pills so weaker companions can improve, and is willing to risk breaking into the heavenly prison to save Lu Changsheng. 213 260 519

He is impulsive and treasure-hungry, which periodically causes trouble: he awakens a Martial Venerable Demon Corpse by attempting to take its bead and repeatedly rushes toward unknown treasures before assessing the danger. 316 724 His frequent bickering with Tu Jiao—whom he calls “tomboy” or “man-woman”—is a defining part of the group’s dynamic. 233 482

Although he often appears unserious, Shi Jingtian reacts fiercely when his companions are harmed. He openly denounces powerful enemies who attack Rui’er and launches himself at the Heavenly Array Elder after Rui’er collapses unconscious. 753 804

He is also notably unrestrained around food and valuables, whether greedily claiming battlefield spoils, loudly complaining about poor lodging, or disregarding decorum while eating at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. 319 715 719

Abilities & Skills

Body Cultivation

Shi Jingtian specializes in body refinement and relies on overwhelming physical strength, dense blood essence, and exceptional durability in close combat. 135 315

• Uses body cultivation to withstand powerful attacks and contend with cultivators at his own realm. 315 316
• His unusually powerful physique can resist attacks from ordinary Eighth- or Ninth-Level Saint Heaven Realm cultivators despite his lower cultivation. 375
• Possesses a strong recovery capacity when supported by rare healing resources such as Immortal Orchid Dew and the Great Fortune Ice Lotus Platform. 343 393
• His physical foundation is repeatedly enhanced through dragon blood essence, Immortal Spirit Marrow, Earth-Mother Divine Brew, and other rare resources. 426 489 776
• Even after suffering broken bones, crushed organs, and a shattered arm in the Immortal Realm, his injuries are rapidly restored by an external healing force. 804

Demonic-Ape Bloodline Power

His bloodline power manifests through ancient protective armor and an imposing demonic-ape phantom, amplifying his brute force and staff techniques. 316 412

• Forms a protective armor of bloodline power when defending against lethal attacks. 316
• Can manifest a towering ancient demonic ape behind his strikes. 412
• The demonic-ape power grows alongside his body cultivation and contributes to his breakthrough toward the Martial Marquis Realm. 426
• At full output, he can merge the demonic-ape phantom into his body and unleash a staff strike strong enough to make the Immortal Realm’s space tremble faintly. 804

Mountain Shaker Staff Technique

Shi Jingtian’s principal combat art is a direct, destructive staff style built around crushing force rather than elaborate technique. 315 384

• Mountain Breaker — a heavy staff strike that forces Elder Blazing Fire back despite equal cultivation. 315
• Mountain Shaker Eighteen Strikes: Seventeenth Strike, Mountain Collapse — channels his full strength into a mountain-crushing blow. 384
• Uses sweeping staff attacks to clear groups of opponents and defend allies. 626 666
• Cultivates Heavenly Dipper staff intent, using its “breaking” principle to drive medicinal power through his cultivation bottlenecks. 648

Demonic Ape Sky-Splitting Staff

Shi Jingtian takes particular interest in the Demonic Ape Sky-Splitting Staff, a high-grade Earth-tier staff art suited to powerful body cultivators and modeled after the ancient demonic ape’s will to fight heaven and earth. 397

• The art emphasizes the fundamental staff movements of smashing, sweeping, collapsing, thrusting, and flicking, all empowered by absolute force. 397
• Its ninth form, Sky-Splitting, is said to possess the potential to shatter the void when cultivated to completion. 397
• Shi Jingtian later identifies the Demon Ape Breaking Heaven Staff as one of his primary means for confronting Martial King Realm opponents. 531

Great Mountain River Fist

Shi Jingtian receives and cultivates the Great Mountain River Fist, a Divine Ability created from the principles of mountains and rivers. 558

• Draws upon the intent of heaviness, suppression, and immovability. 558
• Rapidly reaches the entry level alongside Tu Jiao. 558
• Uses its mountain-and-river-like fist force to destroy mountain peaks. 558

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Mountain Shaker Staff — Shi Jingtian’s primary pitch-black staff, associated with his mountain-themed combat techniques. 384 412
• Void Sword Art scroll — a sword Divine Ability that accidentally flies into his arms; he recognizes that it does not suit his staff-based fighting style and proposes giving it to Qing He. 554 557
• Nine-Turn Starry-Sky Cauldron — a pill furnace Shi Jingtian discovers in the Sea Emperor’s cave residence before handing it to Lu Changsheng for examination. 755
• Nine-Turn Golden Pattern Pill — Shi Jingtian quickly secures the eighth-grade pill after it is knocked from its pedestal during Lu Changsheng’s clash with Jing Tian. 677

Relationships

• Lu Changsheng — Junior Brother and close companion. Shi Jingtian first guides Lu through Lingxiao Sect’s cultivation grounds, later protects him from Chu Ling, and repeatedly risks himself for Lu’s safety. 135 213 519
• Elder Qingwei — Master. Shi Jingtian is one of Qingwei’s Personal Disciples. 230
• Tu Jiao — Fellow Personal Disciple, frequent sparring partner, and constant verbal rival. They fight effectively as a pair despite their habitual bickering. 233 245 276
• Qing He — Fellow disciple and expedition companion. Shi Jingtian proposes that Qing He receive the Void Sword Art because of Qing He’s sword talent. 319 557
• Rui’er — Junior Sister and traveling companion. Shi Jingtian shows concern for her safety during the group’s crises and is enraged when she is injured by powerful enemies. 519 637 804
• Murong Taxue — Companion of Lu Changsheng’s group. Shi Jingtian is protective of her, though his careless remarks about her appearance provoke Tu Jiao. 482 535
• Lin Qingxuan — Lu Changsheng’s younger sister and a fellow expedition companion. Shi Jingtian accompanies her through the Sea-Suppressing Tower and later supports Lu Changsheng while she anxiously watches his battle with Tianji Zi. 678 785
• Xiao Yi — Young companion of Lu Changsheng’s group. Shi Jingtian shares the group’s outrage when Jing Tian steals her Sea-Suppressing Pearl and accompanies her through the Sea-Suppressing Tower. 676 678
• Pei Hu — A good friend and leading disciple of the Grand Xuan Sect. Shi Jingtian openly greets him during the Gods and Demons Battlefield expedition. 330

History

Lingxiao Sect

Shi Jingtian meets Lu Changsheng shortly after Lu becomes an Inner Sect disciple. He enthusiastically explains the sect’s cultivation sacred grounds, identifies himself as a body cultivator, and borrows 50,000 high-grade spirit stones from Lu. In return, he promises to stand up for Lu if anyone in the Inner Sect bullies him. 135

He fulfills that promise when Chu Ling attacks Lu at Martial Refining Plaza. Shi Jingtian’s arrival as a Personal Disciple immediately suppresses the Inner Sect crowd, and he forces Chu Ling to publicly apologize after effortlessly overwhelming him with spiritual pressure. 213 214

After Lu becomes a Personal Disciple under Elder Qingwei, the two become fellow disciples. Lu selects Spirit Cloud Peak beside Shi Jingtian’s Stone Bamboo Peak, further establishing their proximity within the Personal Disciple area. 230

Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao later abstain from the annual grand competition so younger disciples may compete for the opportunity to explore a Martial Venerable Tomb. 234

Expeditions and Growth

Shi Jingtian joins Lu, Tu Jiao, Qing He, and Rui’er on expeditions through the Gods and Demons Battlefield and other ancient regions. He and Tu Jiao kill the ninth-level Xuantian Realm Myriad Poison Old Ancestor, freeing Tianyou City from his oppression. 245

After Lu Changsheng uses the Creation Devouring Heaven Cauldron to produce four superior Supreme Heaven Pills, Shi Jingtian gives up his claim to prioritize Lu and Rui’er’s advancement. He later receives one of the pills and reaches the Sixth Level Heaven Piercing Realm. 260 261

During the exploration of the Strength God Ancient Tablet, he supports Tu Jiao and Lu Changsheng’s attempts with loud encouragement. Although neither of his own results on the tablet is recorded, he takes pride in their placements among the ancient body-cultivation records. 263 264

He later fights beside Tu Jiao against the Fourth Demonic Son Xing You. Their coordinated assault allows them to contend with a stronger Heaven Piercing Realm opponent, though Shi Jingtian suffers injuries to his hand during the battle. 276 277

Within the Gods and Demons Battlefield, he defeats Elder Blazing Fire in fewer than twenty moves despite their equal Sixth-Level Heaven Piercing Realm cultivation. He subsequently refines the Martial Venerable Bead, gains an Earth-attribute Bodhi Dao Fruit, and advances through the Saint Heaven Realm. 315 318 359

Journey Beyond the Eastern Mausoleum Domain

Shi Jingtian accompanies Lu’s group beyond the Eastern Mausoleum Domain, helping defend allies against hostile sects, ancient families, sea races, and demonic cultivators. He remains a frontline combatant during confrontations with Elder Fire Phoenix, Bai Ling, the Dragon Family, and other powerful opponents. 415 683 656

After refining Dragon Blood Crystals and bathing in a Dragon Transformation Pool, he reaches the Half-step Martial Marquis Realm. He later advances through the Martial Marquis Realm and breaks through to the Martial King Realm alongside Tu Jiao. 412 426 489 531

In the Three Absolutes Elder’s inheritance, the Void Sword Art chooses him by striking his head. Though delighted by his unexpected fortune, he concludes that the sword technique is better suited to Qing He than to himself. 554 557

Shi Jingtian and Tu Jiao both cultivate the Great Mountain River Fist obtained from the inheritance. Shi Jingtian rapidly reaches the entry level and demonstrates its mountain-destroying force. 558

Southern Saint Domain and Sea Expeditions

Shi Jingtian travels with Lu Changsheng’s companions through the Southern Saint Domain, where he remains a boisterous but reliable ally during the Ancient Ruins Forbidden Land and later sea expeditions. His cultivation rises from the Second-Rank to the Eighth-Rank Martial King Realm in the Spirit Domain. 562 594

He accompanies Lu Changsheng into the Sea-Suppressing Tower, where he helps seize its second-floor treasures, mocks the defeated Black Armor Dragon Whale genius Jing Tian, and battles the Sword-Toothed Phantom Shark. The shark severely injures him before Xiao Yi uses the Sea-Suppressing Pearl’s hidden Sea-Suppressing Spirit Seal to suppress it. 676 678

During the Ghost Island expedition, Shi Jingtian recklessly tries to seize a Crimson Flame Divine Fruit before Tu Jiao restrains him. After refining the fruit, he breaks through to the Third-Rank Martial Venerable Realm. 724 726

He later enters Minggu Sea Emperor’s cave residence with Lu Changsheng’s group. There, he discovers the Nine-Turn Starry-Sky Cauldron and hands it to Lu Changsheng for examination. 754 755

After the World Tree sinks, Shi Jingtian shares Earth-Mother Divine Brew with the group and reaches the Fifth-Rank Martial Venerable Realm. 776

Immortal Realm Conflict

When Rui’er is struck unconscious during the confrontation on Xuanji Mountain, Shi Jingtian loses control of his rage and attacks the Heavenly Array Elder Zhao Xuanfeng with a demonic-ape-empowered strike. Zhao Xuanfeng easily catches the Mountain Shaker Staff, breaks Shi Jingtian’s arm, and inflicts catastrophic injuries. 804

Shi Jingtian is subsequently restored by a powerful healing force, which repairs his broken bones, damaged organs, and arm within moments. 804

Trivia

• Shi Jingtian’s 15-day record in the Boundless Golden Pool is surpassed by Lu Changsheng’s 60-day cultivation. 232
• He once opens a terracotta figurine expecting a divine weapon or saint pill, only to receive ancient whale dung. 707
• He discovers the Nine-Turn Starry-Sky Cauldron, which Imperial Butterfly values at over one billion spirit stones. 755
• He frequently sleeps through travel and rest periods, claiming that sleeping is part of conserving energy for battle. 681 704
• He has little concern for formal appearances when food is available, once stuffing pastries into his mouth at the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion despite Tu Jiao’s embarrassment. 715
• He considers quietly taking treasures to be “picking them up,” rather than stealing them. 754 759
