Background
The Qin Family stood among the Four Great Immortal Imperial Clans at the pinnacle of the Sky Profound Continent. Its profound heritage, extensive resources, and exceptional younger generation made it one of the continent's foremost cultivation powers 1.
Before Qin Jiuge's rise, the family selected its five strongest young talents as the Five Great Orders and arranged a tournament whose winner would become the family's Young Master 1. Qin Jiuge was originally the Second Sequence of the younger generation, receiving high status, luxurious lodging, and exceptional treatment 12.
Qin Jiuge's awakening of the Chaos Body transformed the family's internal balance. The elders redirected all main-line cultivation resources to him, while Qin Ming and Qin Ling arranged Dark Guards for his protection 12. Following his victory in the Divine Son Trial, the family deliberately spread news of his Chaos Body, Ancient Twin Pupils, and achievement of first place, establishing him publicly as its Divine Son 47.
During the trial itself, Qin Jiuge's revelation of the Ancient Twin Pupils astonished the assembled clan leaders. His subsequent use of the Kunpeng Treasure Technique prompted the presiding patriarch, Qin Yu, to end the trial early and directly announce him as Divine Son. Qin Yu also warned the elders against coveting Qin Jiuge's opportunities, while the former First Sequence, Qin Lang, accepted that he could no longer compete with him 43 46.
Qin Wuchen subsequently regarded Qin Jiuge as the greatest genius produced by the family in ten thousand years. He opened the clan's cultivation resources to unrestricted use by the Divine Son and placed Wuchang Supreme with three Dark Guard squads at Qin Jiuge's command 48. Qin Jiuge's repeated victories eventually made him not merely a junior of the family but one of its actual rulers, with even the Quasi-Emperor generation accepting that major decisions required his approval 354.
The Sacred Alliance conflict further transformed the Qin Family from an isolated Imperial Clan into the center of a broad power bloc. The Divine Sword Sect and Four Symbols Sect entered into agreements with Qin Jiuge after their Quasi-Emperor leaders changed sides, while defeated Sacred Alliance powers, including Taichu Sacred Land, became dependent vassals whose leaders could not act against Qin interests 320 323 353 469.
The resulting expansion also increased the family's administrative burden. As lineage leaders and other experts secluded themselves to cultivate with the captured resources, Qin Jiuge assumed responsibility for clan affairs, visiting delegations, gifts, and correspondence from numerous outside powers 363 364.
After Qin Jiuge became a Great Emperor, no member challenged his supremacy within the family 826. The Qin Family thereafter transitioned from an Immortal Imperial Clan into the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty, formally establishing its capital in Qin Province 854.
Organization
Leadership and lineages
- Qin Wuchen — Patriarch and a concealed ninth-layer Quasi-Emperor; personally directs major clan decisions and supports Qin Jiuge with resources, protection, and treasures 96 120 121.
- Qin Jiuge — Divine Son, later the family's undisputed master and Divine Emperor of the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty; his approval becomes decisive in major policy discussions 354 826 854.
- Qin Shidi — Qin Family ancestor who bears the Universe One Qi Bag and appears during the family's war for survival 291.
- Qin Run — Second Elder and Quasi-Emperor who repeatedly serves as Qin Jiuge's protector 90 96.
- Qin Hai — Leader of the Human lineage and Qin Jiuge's grandfather; he defends Qin Jiuge's interests during internal disputes 253 255.
- Qin Ming — Qin Jiuge's father; an elder pressured by the clan to contribute more descendants to the family legacy 656.
- Qin Ling — A Vein Lord who recognized the significance of Qin Jiuge's Chaos Body and arranged Dark Guard protection for him 12.
- Wuchang Supreme — Deputy Commander of the Dark Guards; assigned to lead three Dark Guard squads under Qin Jiuge's command 48.
- First Hall Master — A high-ranking family leader involved in internal policy, military planning, and later dynastic affairs; he maneuvered Qin Jiuge into commanding the Qin Family army in the Yao Realm 415 712 854.
- Qin Yu — Identified as patriarch and Second lineage Vein Lord during the early Divine Son competition; he presided over the trial and directly appointed Qin Jiuge as Divine Son 34 46.
- Wind Fire Supreme — A senior figure involved in the discussions surrounding the dynasty's founding and later among its high-ranking members 834 854 944.
The family is divided into five major lineages and three influential departments:
| Faction | Known details |
|---|---|
| Heaven lineage | One of the five major lineages 257. |
| Earth lineage | Led by Qin Changhe, the only eighth-layer Supreme among the lineage leaders 253. |
| Human lineage | Led by Qin Hai, a seventh-layer Supreme 253. |
| Yao lineage | Its techniques involve capturing Yao Beasts for rapid advancement; it is closely aligned with the Demon lineage 253 257. |
| Demon lineage | Its cultivation emphasizes killing those with grievances against the family or those deemed deserving; it has fewer members but stronger late-stage combat power 253 257. |
| Hall of Worship | Composed of Supremes over one hundred years old who normally remain in seclusion until major events arise 253. |
| Law Enforcement Hall | One of the family's three highly influential departments 253. |
| Assassination Hall | One of the family's three highly influential departments; its Hall Master Qin Lian possesses the Heavenly Illumination Divine Eye 253 263. |
The five lineages and three departments form eight factions whose alliances and rivalries complicate internal governance 257.
Authority and administration
- Family Head's Command Token — Passed down through successive family heads and represents the patriarch's supreme authority. Its use normally concerns matters of clan survival; Qin Wuchen entrusted it to Qin Run specifically to ensure Qin Jiuge's protection 69.
- Clan assemblies — Qin Wuchen recalled all Life and Death Realm, Supreme Realm, and Quasi-Emperor experts for a grand assembly after Qin Jiuge entered the Life and Death Realm and hostilities with the Jiang and Lan Families intensified 253.
- Delegated dynastic planning — After becoming a Great Emperor, Qin Jiuge allowed the elders to organize the dynasty's establishment, asking to be summoned when the founding was ready. He emphasized personal strength over administrative control 834.
- Integration of affiliated forces — Leaders from Taichu Sacred Land, Flame Sacred Land, Ice Frost Sacred Land, and other closely connected powers became high-ranking members of the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty rather than remaining merely external supporters 944.
- Imperial discipline — Qin Jiuge halved high-ranking officials' cultivation resources for thirty years over their failure to act in the matter involving Xiao Yan and the Azure Emperor, warning of further punishment for repeated offenses 1027.
Succession and marriage alliances
The family treated Qin Jiuge's marriages and descendants as matters of collective political importance. Its Quasi-Emperors recognized Xiao Yan as a suitable principal wife, while the Xiao Family Head acknowledged that the alliance with Ice Frost Sacred Land was a clan decision rather than solely Qin Jiuge's personal choice 348 445.
Qin Ming initially pressed Qin Jiuge to produce offspring, but Qin Jiuge redirected the responsibility toward his father. Qin Ming argued that Qin Jiuge needed to pursue cultivation and sufficient fortune so that the family's future dynasty would not remain dependent on the Azure Emperor or its daughters-in-law. The elders ultimately pressured Qin Ming into having more children, presenting bloodline continuation as necessary to preserve his branch's governing position 655 656.
Members who married Qin Jiuge also served as links to their natal forces. Qin Jiuge cited Bing Qingqing, Lian Nishang, Feng Ming, and Zhao Huanhuan as women who regularly considered Qin interests, explaining that he supported their associated powers when arrangements benefited both sides 878.

- The Frost Sacred Master and Four Symbols Sect Master personally promised to protect the family and enforce Qin Jiuge's orders before entry into the Yao Realm 709.
- Rising imperial fortune brought most of the dynasty's already formidable higher-ups, including the First Hall Master and Wind Fire Supreme, close to the Half-step Great Emperor realm 986.
- Qin Jiuge later reached the Immortal Realm, surpassing the Great Emperor cultivation with which he had originally founded the dynasty 1418.

- Yao Realm passage — Qin Province contained a passage between the Human Realm and Yao Realm. The family could temporarily retreat through it and rely on the Heavenly Yao Emperor's protection 834.
Fortune and cultivation benefits
The prospective dynasty's ability to gather the fortune of vast populations was a central attraction for the elders. They expected cultivation supported by national fortune to improve both efficiency and strength beyond what the clan's existing foundation and subordinate forces could provide 354.
Participation in the destruction of the Sky Origin Dynasty yielded unseen destiny blessings, which were considered more valuable than ordinary cultivation spoils. After the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty's establishment, repeated heavenly phenomena accompanied its continuing growth in fortune and strength 636 880.
Feng Jiuqing's Great Emperor breakthrough transferred one-third of the resulting increase in Sky Phoenix national fortune to the Qin Family and Great Qin Imperial Dynasty. Her status as a Qin daughter-in-law and Qin Jiuge's provision of three highest-grade Purification Lotuses were acknowledged when the Sky Phoenix leaders considered the division 883.
Qin Jiuge's later status as the Child of Destiny dramatically benefited the dynasty's cultivators. Its experts gained strength and accelerated cultivation, while the resulting rise in imperial fortune brought many senior figures toward the Half-step Great Emperor realm 984 986.
History
Conflict with the Liu Family
The Qin and Liu Families were among the continent's six Immortal Imperial Clans before a devastating war three hundred years earlier. The Liu Family lost its contemporary Divine Son and seven of ten Elders, while the Qin Family remained comparatively intact; the conflict created a lasting blood feud 105.
When the Liu Family targeted Qin Jiuge, the Qin Family escalated its response. Qin Wuchen summoned the hidden ancestor and revealed the clan's deeper foundation: two ninth-layer Quasi-Emperors, including himself, and the Universe One Qi Bag 120 121. The Qin Family ultimately annihilated the Liu Family, after which Qin Wuchen permitted clan members to retain spoils recovered from the ruins 132. The Liu Family's destruction reduced the number of great Imperial Clans from six to five 303.
News of the extermination spread across the continent seven days later. Observers were particularly shocked that a single Imperial Clan had destroyed another through its own strength, rather than through a joint punitive campaign by several clans 133.
Rise under Qin Jiuge
Qin Jiuge's feats elevated the Qin Family's standing across the continent. His Chaos Body, Ancient Twin Pupils, Imperial Weapons, and victories over stronger opponents made outside forces view him as the future foundation of Qin power 93 105.
The family endured a major siege by the War God Jiang Family, the Lan Province Lan Family, and the Primordial Sacred Emperor. Qin Wuchen characterized the invasion as a life-or-death crisis for all one hundred thousand gathered clan members 290. The Qin Family and Ice Frost Sacred Land combined their experts and relied on the clan's grand formation to oppose the invading Quasi-Emperors 291.
Before the full assault, the Qin Family had already struck first and exploited an opening against the three opposing powers. Taichu Sacred Land's representatives acknowledged that they had been outmaneuvered, although they still believed a united attack would overwhelm the Qin Family 282.
Following Qin Jiuge's strategic successes, observers considered the Qin Family comparable to the two great Imperial Dynasties and Sky Profound City. Its expanding network included the Divine Sword Sect, Four Symbols Sect, Flame Sacred Land, Taichu Sacred Land, and Ice Frost Sacred Land 324. The defeated Taichu Sacred Land later became part of the Qin Family's foundation 353. The Sacred Alliance's collapse left multiple former opponents as Qin-dependent vassals, while the Qin Family strengthened its hold through contracts and restrictions on disloyal action 323 469.
By this stage, outside discussions credited Qin Jiuge with destroying both the Lan and Liu Families and bringing the remaining opposing forces under his command 324.
The incident involving Feng Ming at Wutong Pavilion later raised the possibility of war with the Sky Phoenix Dynasty. Qin Jiuge hurried home using the Xu Family's spatial formation, while Sky Profound City, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and several connected powers adopted a wait-and-see position. During subsequent negotiations, the First Hall Master assured the Sky Origin representative Zhou Qing that the family would remain neutral and would prioritize Sky Origin if forced to choose between the dynasties 413 418.
Neither dynasty immediately retaliated after Qin Jiuge's later public declaration in favor of Sky Phoenix. Their attention had shifted toward the emergence of Great Emperors, and the Azure Emperor revealed that she had made advance preparations to protect the Qin Family. Qin Jiuge nevertheless remained concerned that reliance on an outsider could not replace the family's own Great Emperor foundation 559 560.
The Qin Family eventually committed its forces and vassals to a full-scale war against the Sky Origin Dynasty. Its subsequent victory elevated it to the status of a quasi-dynasty-level force, while Qin Jiuge cautioned the clan that its position remained incomplete without a Great Emperor 629 635.
The campaign was initiated while the Azure Emperor fought the Sky Origin Ancestor above the Nine Heavens. Qin Jiuge recognized that the outcome of a Great Emperor confrontation could determine the survival of every subordinate force, prompting him to rally the clan and its allies for an all-out struggle 629.
Postwar rankings placed the Qin Family first, followed by the Sky Phoenix Dynasty, Rogue Cultivator Alliance, and Sky Profound City. This reflected its expanded standing and the destiny benefits obtained through victory, rather than removing Qin Jiuge's concern over its lack of an independent Great Emperor 635 636.
Establishment of the Imperial Dynasty
Although members of the family proposed founding an Imperial Dynasty, Qin Jiuge initially objected on the grounds that the Qin Family lacked a Great Emperor to preside over it 354. Later, the elders accepted the younger generation's leadership, with Qin Jiuge regarded as the figure who had not missed a crucial decision for the clan 636.
Qin Jiuge's breakthrough to the Great Emperor realm supplied the foundation required for the Qin Family's dynastic transformation 824. The Qin Family then formally established the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty, with its imperial capital located in Qin Province 854. By the time of its diplomatic mission to the Sky Phoenix Dynasty, the state was identified as the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty 862.
Before the founding, Qin Jiuge allowed the elders to handle the organizational preparations and temporarily left with Bing Qingqing. His return coordinates and the passage from Qin Province to the Yao Realm provided safeguards while he was away 834.
Qin Jiuge also explained to the elders that he had cut away his own destiny to assist Xiao Yan's attempt to reach the Great Emperor realm. Although the First Hall Master and other elders initially found the decision difficult to accept, they ultimately acquiesced. The dynasty was formally founded half a month after these discussions 854.
The dynasty's founding ceremony was initially subdued because many Quasi-Emperor experts had entered seclusion and no additional Great Emperor cultivators were present 854. Nevertheless, the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty continued to flourish under Qin Jiuge's authority 1027.
Consolidation and expansion
The dynasty's foundation increasingly incorporated the leaders of its longstanding allies and vassals. Taichu Sacred Land, Flame Sacred Land, Ice Frost Sacred Land, and other deeply connected forces became part of its high-ranking administration, giving the new state institutional substance beyond its imperial title 944.
Its cultivation strength grew alongside its national fortune. Feng Jiuqing's Great Emperor breakthrough supplied an additional fortune share, while Qin Jiuge's later recognition as the Child of Destiny accelerated the advancement of the dynasty's experts 883 984 986.
After reaching the peak of the Great Emperor realm, Qin Jiuge prepared a joint expedition with the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty and its allied forces to establish influence in the Evil God World 1048. In later developments, he reached the Immortal Realm and had placed relatives, sworn brothers, and other close associates within various major powers, extending his personal network beyond the dynasty's original continental setting 1418.
