Background / History

Ji Xi Kong was a concubine-born son of the Tianshui Ji Clan. Though this birth normally carried low status, he distinguished himself through exceptional talent and reached the peak Three Peng Realm at a young age. At the Flying Immortal Academy, he was known as Tang Huangtian's friend and scored 111 points in the Ascension Assessment before choosing Ziwei Pavilion. 86 88

He possessed a leaked jade slip connected to True Person Tian Sui's inheritance and had spent considerable effort tracking other slips. He approached He Heng under the guise of an immediate friendship, using information about Eldest Young Master Wang's death to probe him. The two subsequently agreed to explore Tian Sui's true tomb together, each recognizing that the alliance would end in a fight for the inheritance. 86 87

Originally, Ji Xi Kong's aptitude was considered insufficient even to guarantee a Dao Embryo before forty. His fortunes changed after awakening Ziwei Heavenly Luck, which propelled him to the peak Dao Embryo Realm within only a few years. 296

Appearance

Ji Xi Kong was described as an exceptionally beautiful, refined young man whose fragile-looking appearance concealed a dangerous presence. Even beside Tang Huangtian, he was difficult to overlook. 86

• Handsome features and an alluring, almost delicate air. 86
• Usually wore his hair neatly bound. 86
• First appeared in a dark green robe; later appeared in purple clothing. 86 296
• His friendly smile gave He Heng an immediate sense of danger. 86

Personality

Ji Xi Kong cultivated an approachable and gentlemanly exterior, speaking warmly of friendship while quietly investigating, manipulating, and preparing to eliminate rivals. He and He Heng shared an unusual mutual understanding: both could discuss the Martial Dao as companions while intending to kill the other when their interests collided. 86 87 89

His ambition was matched by intense confidence in destiny. He regarded himself as a dragon fated to soar above others, dismissing Ji Gui Kong's resentment as the meaningless anger of an inferior “snake.” 320

Behind his composure was extreme ruthlessness. He used Xiang Su Yan, who trusted him deeply, as a disposable weapon against Xie Ran and showed no grief after her death. His apparent devotion to Yu Shu Yan was likewise called into question when he responded without visible emotion to learning that Ji Gui Kong had orchestrated her death. 320 321

• Its “Gods Turn Life and Death” variation created a pocket world of palaces, divine beings, and reincarnating life-and-death power. 600
• Could manifest Ji Xi Kong as the Lord of All Gods and Eternal Emperor, though it was ultimately broken by Ji Jiu's Imperial Dao fist. 600

Minor Qian Kun Radiant Star Sword

A sword technique used during the battle for the Myriad Profound Marrow Root.

• Failed to overcome Wu Luo's demonic flames on its own. 306

• Greatly increased his danger and combat power despite his injuries. 600

• Delayed defeat but could not prevent Ji Jiu from annihilating him. 600 601

Relationships

• He Heng — Rival, temporary ally, and intellectual equal. They jointly pursued Tian Sui's inheritance and later the Myriad Profound Marrow Root, while both understood their cooperation could end in lethal betrayal. 87 89 297
• Tang Huangtian — Friend from the Flying Immortal Academy; Tang's pride made the friendship a mark of Ji Xi Kong's standing. 86

Story Role / Major Arcs

Heavenly Marrow Hidden Treasure

Ji Xi Kong initiated contact with He Heng and used Tian Sui's inheritance as the basis for an uneasy partnership. Their shared exploration demonstrated both their Martial Dao compatibility and their certainty that only one could claim the treasure. 86 87 89

Myriad Profound Marrow Root

After reuniting with He Heng at the peak Dao Embryo Realm, Ji Xi Kong joined the expedition to Yuanzai Prefecture. He led parts of the search, used the Five Great Mountains True Form Diagram against Wu Luo, and fought Ling Haoxuan after Yu Shu Yan was targeted. 296 299 306 307

Great Liang Conspiracy

Ji Xi Kong manipulated the aftermath of the Myriad Profound Marrow Root by placing Liu Wu under his control. He used the controlled emperor to ambush Wu Huang Liu Gu and influence the struggle for the Great Liang throne. 312 316

Conflict with Ji Gui Kong

Ji Gui Kong revealed his role in Yu Shu Yan's death and attempted to destroy Ji Xi Kong with Xie Ran's help. Ji Xi Kong defeated him, sacrificed Xiang Su Yan without hesitation, and forced Ji Gui Kong into using the desperate Nether River Eternal Fall. 320 321

Ji Clan Succession and Death

Following Great Xia's collapse, a phoenix omen chose Ji Xi Kong and strengthened his claim to lead the Ji Clan. He was elected Patriarch despite being concubine-born, but Ji Jiu, Ji Xuan Kong, and Lingtai Daoist exposed allegations of patricide and collusion with the Nine Wilds and Demon Race. 597 598 599

Cornered, Ji Xi Kong attempted to take Ji Jiu hostage and then fought against Ji Jiu and Lingtai Daoist. His final secret method could not overcome their combined strength; Ji Jiu ultimately destroyed him completely. 599 600 601

Notable Quotes

Trivia

• Although candidates of his caliber usually favored one of the Mystic Sect's Six Schools, he chose Ziwei Pavilion, one of the Twelve Daos. 88
