Background and History
Daji first descended before the imprisoned Qin Jun in flowing snow-white robes and freed him from his chains. She addressed him as her lord, identified herself through her actions as his summoned protector, and subdued the Imperial Guards with overwhelming force, allowing Qin Jun to personally take revenge on them 1 2.
Unlike the human Daji described in Investiture of the Gods, she is a Nine-tailed Fox who had already assumed human form. She initially concealed her demonic aura so completely that even the Howling Celestial Dog believed her to be human 2 19. During Qin Jun's early journey, she carried him through the air, trained him in combat, instructed him in practical spiritual-power control, and protected him against foes far beyond his level 3 11 82.
Her presence became Qin Jun's principal deterrent during his rise. She crushed the Xuanling Sect's resistance with her aura, injured Cheng Zhan during the destruction of the Cheng Family, and flicked away a Golden Core Realm Gray Demonic Wolf with one finger 18 26 80.
Daji and Qin Jun's relationship gradually moved beyond that of summoner and subordinate. Though she loved him, she initially refused to become his until he surpassed her in strength, believing that indulging his desire too early would hinder his cultivation 183. After Qin Jun reached the Void Transformation Realm, their relationship became intimate and they practiced dual cultivation, including the Nine-tailed Fox Nirvana Dual Cultivation 335.
As Qin Jun established the Great Qin Heavenly Court, Daji served as Sacred Empress and managed Sacred Emperor Peak. She participated in court life from the Phoenix Chair and took responsibility for the stability of Qin Jun's harem 581 643 682. Her concern that her cultivation no longer matched Qin Jun's prompted him to repeatedly strengthen her through God and Demon Peak recovery, Limit Awakening, and the Ice Water Great Dao Legacy 660 1279 1451.
Daji is the mother of Tian Yun. She became intensely protective after his disappearance and awakening incidents, while Qin Jun reassured her that he would personally teach Tian Yun and bring him back 1732 1779 1801. In the Archaic realm, she struggled to watch Tian Yun face danger without intervening, but ultimately accepted that he needed to grow through his own trials 1907 1908.
Appearance
Daji is portrayed as a peerlessly beautiful woman whose appearance is repeatedly described as capable of toppling nations. She commonly wears white or pale palace robes and retains an elegant, otherworldly bearing even after her later power increases 1 660 1452.
- Snow-white robes with fluttering sleeves and skirt 1
- White fur adorning her shoulders 1
- Long willow-black hair and fair, radiant skin 1 660
- Delicate appearance contrasted by exceptional physical force 2 80
- Later wears dignified Sacred Empress palace dress 660 1452
Personality
Daji combines an enchanting, teasing manner with fierce protectiveness toward Qin Jun. She can smile sweetly while delivering threats, reacts harshly to men who leer at her, and shows little patience for enemies who endanger her lord 2 4 17.
Despite her reputation in myth, this version of Daji is not characterized by the malice associated with her later Shang Dynasty fate. The System explains that she was summoned before being sent to the Shang Dynasty; without Nuwa's command, she retained her original disposition 137.
She is emotionally perceptive and pragmatic. Daji delayed consummating her relationship with Qin Jun specifically because she wanted him to remain focused on becoming stronger, rather than becoming complacent through devotion to her 183. She also accepted the responsibilities of Sacred Empress without arrogance, even after rapidly surpassing most of the Heavenly Court's earlier experts 661 682.
- Her recorded Loyalty rose from 90 to 99, then reached the maximum value of 100 34 182 660.
- She felt insecure when Qin Jun's growth outpaced her own, but initially refused Limit Awakening because she did not want to burden him 446 1279.
- As Tian Yun's mother, she is openly anxious and protective, especially when he is injured or missing 1728 1779 1908.

Daji can fly while carrying others and has taught Qin Jun basic uses of spiritual power 3 82.
- Carried Qin Jun more than one hundred meters through the air in under three seconds 3.
- Dried her soaked clothing by circulating demonic power and explained that human spiritual power could achieve the same result 82.
- Uses refined control of her aura to conceal her demon-beast identity 19.
Nine-tailed Fox Lineage
Daji's true race is a Nine-tailed White Fox. Her God and Demon Peak recovery granted her the inheritance of a stronger mythical Nine-tailed Fox rather than limiting her to her original Investiture of the Gods portrayal 660.
- True Form of the Nine-tailed Fox — her natal divine ability 660 1280.
- Great Heavenly Fox Technique — one of her recorded cultivation techniques 660.
- Bewitching Heart Technique — one of her recorded cultivation techniques 660.
- Her fragrance can incapacitate Qin Jun when she deliberately uses it against him 183.
Ice Water Great Dao
After inheriting the Ice Water Great Dao, Daji reached the Great Dao Supreme Realm Fourth Heaven 1452.
Relationships
- Qin Jun — Her summoner, lord, husband, and the person she has accompanied since rescuing him from prison. She later becomes Sacred Empress Qin and remains his most deeply rooted romantic attachment 2 335 1166 1279.
- Tian Yun — Her biological son. Daji is highly protective of him and struggles to watch him face danger alone 1732 1904 1908.
- Howling Celestial Dog — Fellow early summoned demon and companion of Qin Jun. It discovered traces of her hidden demonic aura but did not expose her identity 19 89.
- Dragon Girl — Initially a romantic rival for Qin Jun's attention; their jealousy produced open competition, though they remained on the same side 98 99.
- Bai Ze — A fellow high-ranking woman of the Great Qin Heavenly Court. Daji treated Bai Ze respectfully despite her own rise to the Grand Unity Profound Immortal Realm 661.
