Background / History

Jiang Siqi received support from an aristocratic family in his youth, allowing him to establish a solid enough foundation to enter sainthood. He rose as a peerless genius of Great Li, crushing his contemporaries and leaving behind numerous records. 107 111

Before becoming a Saint, he cultivated 138 sword qi in the Sword Qi Domain. He also practiced the Heavenly Might Technique, though he failed to master it during his youth and only cultivated it to a profound level when nearing sainthood. 111

He forged a Starry Sky Saint Body by integrating the Momentum of the Starry Sky through a rare Starry Sky technique. His resulting combat power made him one of Great Li's most formidable Martial Saints. 129

Jiang Siqi founded Great Li's Martial Examination and worked with the imperial family's Old Saint to implement it. The National Academy was established because of him. 135 138

Xie Wuji became Jiang Siqi's disciple. Concerned that Jiang Siqi's descendants could be purged should he fall, Xie Wuji asked Jiang Ping to preserve their bloodline if necessary. 109

Jiang Siqi became a key supporter of Jiang Ping. He officiated Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyan's wedding, provided Jiang Ping with the Everlasting Spring Technique, and promised to seek death- and withering-related classics for Jiang Ping's research into life and death. 138 137

When Jiang Ping was targeted by Quasi-Saints, Jiang Siqi intervened from thousands of miles away and killed two Quasi-Saints with single finger strikes. He later extended Xie Wuji's life alongside Wei Lin, though Xie Wuji refused further assistance rather than impede Jiang Siqi's cultivation. 135

Jiang Siqi also studied the Way of Life in hopes of extending Xie Wuji's lifespan. Jiang Ping's advances with the Changshi Fist gave him new principles to use in that effort. 146 149

After Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyan were cast into the Black Abyss, Jiang Siqi openly turned against the Zheng, Su, and Shang families. He killed Zheng Yao, trapped a hundred-mile area within his Myriad Heavens Starry Array, and targeted the aristocratic families' younger generation in the Imperial City. 167 168

He subsequently reached the Martial Saint Sixth Heaven. When Shang Mingyuan recovered from the injuries sustained in the conflict and again threatened to advance, Jiang Siqi joined other Saints in an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate him. 180 184

After Jiang Ping returned and defeated the hostile Saints, Jiang Siqi and Shangguan Chun worked together to eliminate the Wei family. 184 189

Personality

Jiang Siqi is protective of those he recognizes as his own. He supports Jiang Ping's unconventional ambitions rather than forcing him onto a safer path, offering resources and guidance even when Jiang Ping seeks to unite the opposing concepts of life and death. 137 141

His composure gives way to ruthless aggression when Jiang Ping or his faction is threatened. Following Jiang Ping's fall into the Black Abyss, he disregarded negotiation, killed Zheng Yao in front of four Martial Saints, and escalated the conflict into a full-scale Saint-level confrontation. 167 168

He is also cautious about dangers to his faction. Even after a possible route off Xuanxin Island came to light, he warned that Zhou Tianming's strength and early awakening of his True Self made him someone they should not necessarily bring along. 214

• Enclosed an area of roughly one hundred miles, including the Imperial City. 167

• Immediately killed a second Quasi-Saint who attempted to assist the Su Family. 135
• Faced four Martial Saints without retreating and initiated the attack himself. 167

Story Role / Major Arcs

Jiang Ping's Rise

Jiang Siqi's reputation and resources form part of Jiang Ping's path toward sainthood. Through Xie Wuji, he indirectly provides Supreme Qi support, while Jiang Siqi himself later gives Jiang Ping life-related classics and encouragement to pursue the combined path of life and death. 109 137

Jiang Ping's progress with the Changshi Fist also bears on Jiang Siqi's longstanding effort to prolong Xie Wuji's life. Jiang Siqi is astonished when Jiang Ping extends the fist's known Concept Realm. 146 149

Jiang Siqi personally officiates Jiang Ping and Chen Qingyan's wedding, making the event a major occasion attended by Saints and powerful local figures. 138

He later advances to the Sixth Heaven, attempts with other Saints to kill the recovered Shang Mingyuan, and reunites with Jiang Ping after the latter's unexpected return. Following Jiang Ping's victory over the hostile Saints, Jiang Siqi and Shangguan Chun eliminate the Wei family. 180 184 189

Search for a Way Off Xuanxin Island

Jiang Siqi joins Jiang Ping, Martial Saint Murong, and Shangguan Chun in exploring routes beyond Xuanxin Island.
