Background / History
Liang Ji began as an inconspicuous student from an ordinary family in Xiushe City. Though he performed well in an early trial, he was largely unknown among his classmates and lacked the background of established Star Lord families. His initial resources were limited, making every Spirit Stone, Spirit Root, and inheritance important to narrowing the gap with elite students. 24 33
His Natal Star, Dragon Soul Star, was guarded by a Dragon Soul that guided the development of both the Star and its Half-Dragonfolk retainers. He used the Snake Barbarian Scripture, martial skills, Demon Cores, Spirit Seeds, and Spirit Roots to establish the foundations of the Star’s civilization and combat power. 24 25 27
After entering Kunlun Star Palace, Liang Ji joined Mentor Chi Yu’s Jade Character Lineage. Chi Yu judged the Half-Dragonfolk highly compatible with its physical-strength and Law Breaking focus because of their Hegemonic Body, Size as Desired, and formidable close-combat potential. 146
Liang Ji later pursued an unconventional path by cultivating three Star Palace inheritances at once: Kunlun’s Deification List, Taiyi’s Bloodline Atlas, and Wanxiang’s Myriad Laws Furnace. The interaction of these inheritances, his Dragon Soul, and the Dragon Pearl’s Light of Creation became the foundation of his rise beyond ordinary Star Lords. 775 873 1065 1079
Natal Star and Retainers
Liang Ji’s Natal Star began as Dragon Soul Star, inhabited by Half-Dragonfolk who practiced the Heavenly Emperor Faith. At an early recorded stage, it had a Tier 1 Spirit Vein, 24,792 retainers, and a village-level tribal society led politically by King, economically by Nong, religiously by Xi, and militarily by Chi. 40
The retainers later developed into ten dragon-bloodline clans: the main Half-Dragonfolk branch and the Dragon’s Nine Sons bloodlines. Liang Ji tailored cultivation lands, Magic Tools, spells, combat skills, and Bloodline Divine Abilities to each lineage’s elemental affinity. 150 151 226
- Half-Dragonfolk — physical combatants with Hegemonic Body, Law Breaking, and later Soul Breaking capabilities. 146 287
- Qiu Niu — Wood-aligned retainers with Rejuvenation. 226
- Ya Zi — Metal-aligned trackers and killers with Swallow Blade. 151 226
- Chao Feng — winged Wind-aligned aerial forces with Call Wind. 151 226
- Pu Lao — possess Misfortune Relief. 226
- Ba Xia — defensive Earth-aligned retainers with Carry Mountain. 151 174 226
- Suan Ni — Fire-aligned retainers with Spit Flame. 226

- Jiao Tu — Ice-aligned retainers with Ice Soul. 151 226
- Chi Wen — Water-aligned retainers with Call Rain. 151 174 226
The ten bloodline clans are particularly suited to the Ten Directions Annihilation Formation, their shared dragon bloodline and diverse elemental powers allowing them to operate it as Liang Ji’s ultimate combined retainer formation. 291
