Background / History

Situ Jiang serves as the Wind Moon Sect's Sect Leader during a period of escalating conflict with Heavenly Soul Hall. With Grand Elder True Sword Master Xuanjian in closed-door cultivation and unable to intervene, Situ Jiang avoids needlessly provoking a sect war while using Xuanjian's lingering deterrence to keep Heavenly Soul Hall cautious. He grants the Fourth Elder broad authority to protect the sect's interests at the Western Spirit Stone Mine. 85 91 93 136

He becomes Qi Chuan's master after recognizing his potential as a talisman maker and cultivator. When Qi Chuan produces a semi-finished Tier 2 Low-grade Spirit Calming Talisman, Situ Jiang identifies its flaws but acknowledges the disciple's exceptional talent, advising him not to neglect his cultivation base. 76

After Qi Chuan comprehends the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Prison Meditation Method from the Ancient Soulwood, Situ Jiang personally reports the discovery to True Sword Master Xuanjian. He then safeguards the reward granted to Qi Chuan—a Top-grade Foundation Establishment Pill—until Qi Chuan reaches the Tenth Layer of Qi Refining. 77

Situ Jiang supports Qi Chuan's Foundation Establishment attempt by allowing him use of his own secluded cultivation site within a Second-grade Top-tier Cave Mansion. He later recognizes the significance of Qi Chuan reaching the limit of a Tier 1 Body Cultivator and cultivating Spiritual Sense while still in the Qi Refining Realm. 84 85

Following Qi Chuan's gains in the secret realm, Situ Jiang arranges for his disciple to fake his death and assume a new identity, limiting Heavenly Soul Hall's ability to target him. He continues concealing Qi Chuan's whereabouts even after Heavenly Soul Hall deploys Luo Jin Shen to investigate the Wind Moon Sect. 99 100 135 136

During the Langya Spirit Realm expedition, Situ Jiang commits the Wind Moon Sect's resources to securing Heavenly Gang Qi. He drives Tian Hunzi out of the contest with overwhelming talisman fire, withstands a three-way challenge from Jiang Chen, Xiao Dan, and Wan Long Lizard, and joins Qi Chuan in the final battle against Jiang Chen. 165 166 167

After collecting the Heavenly Gang Qi, Situ Jiang gives it to Qi Chuan for his future Core Formation attempt rather than using it himself. Expecting Heavenly Soul Hall to retaliate, he prepares to become a False Core cultivator to defend the sect and sends Qi Chuan away through a prearranged teleportation route. 168 169 170

Personality

Situ Jiang is cautious, strategic, and willing to bear personal and sect-wide costs to preserve Wind Moon Sect. He avoids open war when the sect's position is weak, but commits decisively when an opportunity could secure its future, as shown by his extensive use of high-grade talismans for the Heavenly Gang Qi. 91 93 165

As a master, he is protective without being possessive. He supports Qi Chuan's growth, conceals his identity when necessary, grants him resources, and ultimately entrusts him with the sect's Heavenly Gang Qi despite his own need for a breakthrough. 77 99 115 169 170
