Background and History

Xuanyuan Tian Ji comes from the Weiyang Immortal Realm. She was sealed in an Immortal Source before the Human Emperor resolved a crisis threatening the Great Thousand Worlds, and later awakened in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion. She distinguishes her Xuanyuan Clan from the clan known to Zhuge Qing in the Canglan Realm 101 139.

After learning that Cunning Insects had polluted the Canglan Realm and turned humans into nourishment, she vowed to help destroy them. Su Ming’s True Sight identified her royal bloodline, Innate Dao Body, Nine Aperture Exquisite Heart, and two red-grade talents: Daughter of Destiny and Heavenly Dao’s Blessing 101.

She subsequently travels and cultivates with Su Ming, advising him on the Immortal Demon Body and giving him the Chaos Immortal Demon Art despite her doubts that he can survive its requirements 109. When the Xuanyuan Family holds her in a pagoda and tries to force her to open the Human Emperor’s Secret Realm, she refuses. Su Ming and Jian Shisan rescue her; afterward, she takes control of the family with Su Ming’s help 480 481.

During the war in the Canglan Realm, Tian Ji burns through her lifespan and uses a forbidden technique against a Bizarre Creature at the Immortal Sovereign level. Their seven-day battle forces it to retreat, but leaves her origin exhausted, her soul torn, and her life dependent on Su Qingyuan’s intervention 595. She later awakens in Weiyang Palace 685.
