Background

Ji Chutong was raised within the Supreme Unity Holy Land under Jiang Yi and became its Saintess. By the time of the Heaven's Chosen Assembly, she had cultivated for more than twenty years without a known defeat and was regarded as an invincible genius of her era. Her reputation was comparable to that of Taiyi Holy Son Du Chuan. 469

She possesses an Innate Dao Body, a physique exceptionally compatible with Dao Principles and Great Dao Laws. This made her particularly dangerous in techniques that draw on heaven-and-earth power rather than direct physical force. 469 474

She was ranked second to Qi Zixiao on a widely circulated beauty list. Ji Chutong believed herself superior and was enraged enough by the ranking to threaten its compiler, creating a vulnerability that Qi Zixiao later exploited. 470 471

Appearance

Ji Chutong is regarded as an exceptionally beautiful woman, with observers generally considering her and Qi Zixiao evenly matched in appearance despite the disputed beauty ranking. 471

• Carries a sacred, inviolable bearing when channeling Dao Principles. 475 762
• Bears a rune between her brows after obtaining the Foundation of Heavenly Dao. 748 750
• Her future Avatar appears as a female Hanba-style zombie, often surrounded by Order Divine Chains. 775 777

Personality

Ji Chutong is proud, competitive, and highly conscious of her standing as a Saintess. She initially accepts “Lin Fan’s” arena challenge because she expects to defeat him in a single move, and later forfeits rather than allow their prolonged duel to affect his tournament prospects. 472 477

Her pride does not prevent practicality. When the Foundation of Heavenly Dao turns her into the Myriad Realms Abyss' primary target, she forms an oath-bound alliance with Qi Zi·Fan, accepts his strategies, and repeatedly adapts her methods for survival. 748 751 753

Although she maintains the image and burdens of the Supreme Unity Saintess, she grows weary of constant restraint. She openly admires Qi Zixiao's freedom from convention and eventually embraces a more direct, unrestrained life alongside Qi Zixiao and Lan Cai'er. 802 812

Abilities & Skills

Innate Dao Body

Ji Chutong's innate physique allows her to perceive, comprehend, and wield Dao Principles at an extraordinary level.

• Can evoke vast fields of Dao Principles and use them to pressure opponents. 473
• Merges Dao Principles into her body to greatly enhance her combat power beyond her apparent realm. 474
• Materializes Dao Principles as Order Divine Chains for binding, suppression, and attacks. 474 748
• Her early control was not absolute; Qi Zixiao judged that she could evoke more Dao Principles than she could fully command at that stage. 473

Foundation of Heavenly Dao

Ji Chutong obtained a Foundation of Heavenly Dao associated with one of the Nine Paths Immortal. It is especially compatible with her Innate Dao Body. 751 765

• Enhances her perception, allowing her to identify dangers and navigate safer routes through the Myriad Realms Abyss. 751
• Strengthens her Dao Principle techniques and manifests through the rune on her forehead. 748 750
• Lets her bind Li Xiuyuan with tangible chains and erase the imprint on his protective Magical Treasure despite her lower cultivation. 750
• Enables advanced methods involving karma; she uses an Art that kills through cause and effect after returning to the Cultivation World. 762
• Later displays Laws of Time and Space at Grand Luo Golden Immortal level while opening a light gate to the Time River. 868

Dao Principle Sword Arts

Though not originally a dedicated Sword Cultivator, Ji Chutong incorporates swords into her Dao-based combat style.

• Uses a mid-grade Dao Artifact Flying Sword in battle. 474
• Commands Flying Swords during the battle against the Myriad Realms' Golden Immortals. 823
• Pursues the Sword Towers because her principal weakness is direct offensive power; she seeks powerful Sword Intent to supplement her balanced Dao cultivation. 784
• Can form thousands of Sword Qi with a finger gesture. 812

Immortal Technique · Sword Art · True Ten Thousand Hands

Ji Chutong transforms her Dao Principle chains into innumerable arms and fists, overwhelming enemies through sheer volume.

• Initially developed the technique by changing her soft-sword chains into fists to avoid exposing her identity. 797
• Bound and battered the Heavenly Immortal Blood Fiend Demon Lord with tens of thousands of strikes. 797
• The technique can pulverize a manifested Blood Demon and leave its caster severely injured. 797

Illusion and Deception

During the Myriad Realms Abyss pursuit, Ji Chutong learned and adapted survival techniques from Qi Zi·Fan.

• Combined the Rascal Snake's molting technique, Su Muxue's transformation technique, and her Dao comprehension to create highly convincing illusions. 753
• Her illusions could deceive cultivators several major realms above her and were used as bait against pursuing First Sequences. 753
• Later assisted Qi Zi·Fan in maintaining false identities while hiding within the Nine Heavenly Palaces. 779

Two-Way Foil

Ji Chutong and Qi Zixiao jointly developed the Two-Way Foil after studying a technological concept of dimensional reduction. 783

• Rather than directly flattening targets into two dimensions, the completed technique traps them inside a painting. 784
• The pair successfully tested it on an Immortal. 784
• Ji Chutong contributed the Dao Principles and Formations required to construct the technique. 784

Zombie Avatar

A future Avatar of Ji Chutong crosses the Time River by occupying a Hanba body, becoming a female zombie in Earth's past. 775 776

• Its sole clear directive is to “Protect Lin Fan.” 775 776
• Kills a space-type True Immortal and turns him into a zombie. 775
• Uses Zombie Heart Blood to transform four mountain villagers into powerful zombie guardians for Lin Fan. 775
• Holds off six Immortals without losing ground despite its incomplete, confused consciousness. 777

• Foundation of Heavenly Dao rune — The mark on her brow serves as the focus for several of her enhanced Dao Principle techniques. 748 750

Relationships

• Qi Zixiao — Began as a beauty-ranking rival and arena opponent, then became Ji Chutong's closest ally and partner through the Myriad Realms Abyss, ascension, and later conflicts. 471 477 751 770
• Qi Zi·Fan — Qi Zixiao's Avatar; fought beside Ji Chutong after she obtained the Foundation of Heavenly Dao, saved her during the initial ambush, and became her trusted partner in the Abyss. 748 750 792
• Jiang Yi — Her master at the Supreme Unity Holy Land; he is deeply proud of her achievements. 762 769
• Du Chuan — Taiyi Holy Son and fellow peerless genius; Ji Chutong defeated him to become the Supreme Unity Holy Land's First Sequence. 474 685
• Lan Cai'er — Close friend and combat ally; the three women later stand together against the great powers of the Myriad Realms. 802 812 823
• Lin Fan — “Lin Fan” was initially Qi Zixiao's disguise, against whom Ji Chutong demanded a rematch; her future zombie Avatar is sent across time to protect the real Lin Fan. 477 680 775
• Lin Qingcheng — Her eventual spouse. 902

Story Role / Major Arcs

Heaven's Chosen Assembly

Qi Zixiao, disguised as Lin Fan, provokes Ji Chutong by insulting her appearance and ranking her beneath the Purple Mansion Saintess. Ji Chutong challenges “him” to an arena duel, where her Dao Principles, Dao Principle Embodiment, and Flying Sword force Qi Zixiao into a prolonged defensive battle. 471 472 474

After realizing that Qi Zixiao's goal is only to delay her for Shi Tiesheng's benefit, Ji Chutong forfeits. She promises to challenge Lin Fan again after the Assembly, refusing to let their conflict end there. 477 589

First Sequence and the Foundation of Heavenly Dao

Ji Chutong defeats Du Chuan to become the Supreme Unity Holy Land's representative among the Cultivation World's First Sequence. 685

In Silent Valley, she emerges with a Foundation of Heavenly Dao and immediately becomes the target of a massive coalition of First Sequences. Qi Zi·Fan chooses to save her, and the two begin a years-long flight through the Myriad Realms Abyss. 747 748 751

During the pursuit, she uses her enhanced perception to guide their escapes, carries Qi Zi·Fan while he enters enlightenment, helps kill Li Xiuyuan, and develops new methods to deceive or ambush their pursuers. 750 751 753

Return and Ascension

After ten years in the Myriad Realms Abyss, Ji Chutong returns to the Cultivation World with Qi Zi·Fan. She soon joins the battle against the invading Red Dust Immortals, where her Foundation-enhanced Dao Principles make her appear like a true fairy descending into the conflict. 760 762

She later ascends with Qi Zixiao toward the Sun Moon Universe Palace, refines Acquired Spiritual Treasures, and survives the political conflict surrounding the Nine Heavenly Palaces. 770 771

Myriad Realms Conflicts

Ji Chutong works with Qi Zixiao to create the Two-Way Foil and develops her offensive strength through the Tai Xuan Nine Purity Palace's Sword Towers. 783 784

When their identities are exposed, she fights beside Qi Zixiao against the Tai Xuan Nine Purity Palace Master and later proves her ability to protect herself by helping injure a Golden Immortal Grand Elder. 789 790 792

She eventually stops hiding, joins Qi Zi·Fan and Lan Cai'er in open battle against the Nine Realms Alliance, and faces the encirclement of hundreds of Golden Immortals from across the Myriad Realms. 812 819 822

Future Timeline

A future version of Ji Chutong sends a zombie Avatar through the Time River to protect Lin Fan in Earth's past. The Avatar's presence obscures karma and resists attacks from multiple Immortals, but it retains only fragmented consciousness and its protective mission. 775 777 778

Trivia

• Ji Chutong once threatened to kill the compiler of the beauty ranking that placed Qi Zixiao above her. 470 471
• Her combat style was initially considered overly balanced: formidable in every aspect but lacking exceptional killing power compared with Qi Zixiao. 784
• Her answer to this weakness was not a single stronger strike, but the overwhelming volume of the True Ten Thousand Hands technique. 797
• She initially found her later marriage to Lin Qingcheng awkward because it made Lin Fan and Qi Zixiao her parents-in-law, but eventually accepted the relationship. 902
