Power Progression

Background / History

Jiang Daoyi is the foremost younger-generation member of the Jiang Clan, a Martial God Family based in Heavenly Star Lord City. As a Human God Prodigy, he possesses extensive clan resources, formidable cultivation, and the political influence expected of the Jiang Clan’s young master. 426 529

Upon Jiang Hao’s arrival in Heavenly Star Lord City, Jiang Daoyi publicly suppresses Lu Zhanfeng and holds a banquet ostensibly to introduce and praise Jiang Hao. His actual aim is to pressure Jiang Hao into accepting the protection and status of a Jiang Clan follower; Jiang Hao recognizes that Daoyi’s intervention also worsens Jiang Hao’s conflict with the Lu Clan. 426 428

Jiang Hao publicly rejects the offer, refusing both follower status and any change to his surname. Rather than force the matter, Jiang Daoyi accepts the refusal. He later renews the offer with even greater benefits, but after Jiang Hao refuses again, Daoyi proposes that they become friends and equals instead. 427 455 456

Jiang Daoyi subsequently explores ancient ruins alongside Jiang Hao and Ji Mingyue. During the expedition, he obtains an ancient Martial God inheritance through a dangerous trial; after closed-door cultivation, he fully assimilates the Haotian Martial God’s inheritance and enters the late Martial Emperor realm. 461 485 527

His desire to test himself against Jiang Hao leads to a spar at the Jiang Clan Martial Arts Arena. Jiang Daoyi employs the Jiang Clan’s supreme arts and the Haotian inheritance, but Jiang Hao defeats him after using only part of his strength. Daoyi accepts the result and treats the agreed-upon Innate Divine Objects as Jiang Hao’s prize. 531 533 534

After Jiang Hao’s victories in Heaven-Connected City, Jiang Daoyi and Ji Mingyue welcome him back with a private feast. Daoyi requests another spar, but concedes after a single exchange demonstrates how much further Jiang Hao has advanced. He acknowledges the defeat without resentment and returns to closed-door cultivation. 595 596

Following his ninth-place ranking on the Chaos Gold Ranking, Jiang Daoyi accompanies Jiang Hao and Ji Mingyue to the newly appeared Martial God Palace. He reaches the palace after Jiang Hao, Wang Teng, and Li Chengyu and later completes its trials. Although he does not receive the complete inheritance, he considers the rewards worthwhile. 612 618 631 632 642

As newly prominent prodigies begin defeating established experts, Jiang Daoyi recognizes that his ranking may make him a target and welcomes the prospect of a challenge. He also keeps Jiang Hao informed about Cao Mo’s rise and public challenge. 644 647

Appearance

Jiang Daoyi is a handsome young man with an elegant, composed bearing. He is frequently depicted in refined or magnificent robes, carrying himself with the poise of a major clan’s heir. 528 604

• Clear, resolute gaze and a calm smile. 528
• Slender build and refined demeanor. 426
• His aura becomes markedly stronger and more imposing after assimilating the Haotian Martial God inheritance. 527 528
• When fighting, divine radiance and a golden Divine Path phantom can manifest around him. 595

Personality

Jiang Daoyi is politically perceptive and ambitious. His initial attempt to recruit Jiang Hao is carefully staged: he uses public pressure, clan backing, and a dispute with Lu Zhanfeng to make dependence on the Jiang Clan appear advantageous. 426 428

He is also pragmatic. Once Jiang Hao refuses to become a follower, Daoyi does not create an enemy out of wounded pride; he changes his approach and offers genuine friendship instead. 456

As a martial artist, Jiang Daoyi is competitive and eager to test exceptional opponents. Jiang Hao’s unfathomable physical strength and the backlash against the Martial Path Divine Eye deepen his desire to fight him rather than discouraging him. 529 531

Repeated defeats teach him humility without breaking his martial heart. He openly acknowledges Jiang Hao’s superiority, continues refining himself, and steps forward to face Yuan Wudao before allowing the Devil Race prodigy to challenge Jiang Hao. 604 606

His confidence persists despite the emergence of new Chaos Gold Ranking challengers. With friends, he can also be playful, teasing Ji Mingyue about her concern for Jiang Hao while continuing to pass along serious news of Cao Mo’s victories. 644 647
