Background
Di Jun is a Sun Star-born Innate Divine who shares authority over the celestial body with his brother, Taiyi. Both possess the Nine-Nine Supreme Fate, but Di Jun in particular follows the Imperial Rulership Dao and cannot accept submission to anyone he does not recognize as overwhelmingly superior. 72
His ambition crystallized when Dao Ancestor Hongjun named Dongwang Gong the leader of the male immortals. Di Jun regarded the appointment as a direct challenge to his own path, seeing Dongwang Gong as a potential Dao enemy and future rival for control of the Primordial World. 72
Personality
Di Jun is imperial, proud, and intensely ambitious. He treats dominion, Fortune, and political authority as essential parts of his Dao path, not merely worldly rewards. His resentment toward the Witch Clan ultimately becomes so deeply rooted that even enormous Merit cannot help him sever his Obsession Corpse. 214
Unlike Taiyi’s more openly fiery temperament, Di Jun is patient and calculating. He repeatedly restrains his brother from reckless action, abandons plans that would create dangerous Karma, and favors long-term accumulation of territory, resources, formations, and loyal subordinates over immediate revenge. 137 156 263
His pragmatism does not diminish his loyalty. When Taiyi proposes sacrificing himself during their encirclement, Di Jun refuses to flee alone and insists that they either escape together or die together. 230
Di Jun can also be ruthless toward those he considers obstacles. He demands binding submission from Taiwei, then attempts to seize the Star God’s origin and authority and imprison him for torment after Taiwei refuses. 315 316
Abilities & Skills
Imperial Rulership Dao
Di Jun’s Dao is inseparable from rulership, collective Fortune, and the unification of living beings beneath a single authority.
- Possesses the Nine-Nine Supreme Fate associated with imperial dominion. 72
- Draws cultivation benefits from the Fortune and Merit of the Demon Clan. 214
- Uses political institutions, territory, and population as sources of power rather than relying only on personal cultivation. 157 263
- His fixation on destroying the Witch Clan prevents him from fully resolving his inner attachments. 214
- Established a layered system of territorial rule on the Southern Continent, assigning lands to powerful cultivators who delegated administration to their own subordinates. The resulting resources and population restored and then increased the Demon Clan’s Fortune. 266
River Chart and Luo Book
A Top-Tier Innate Spiritual Treasure used as Di Jun’s principal tool for deduction, concealment, and formation control.
- Performs Heavenly Secrets calculations and predicts enemy actions. 125
- Conceals Karma, Heavenly Secrets, and traces when he and Taiyi evade pursuit. 128
- Houses Demon Clan cultivators for transport and rapid deployment. 214 228
- Serves as the foundation of the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation. 157
- Is not primarily defensive; its protection failed against Jiufeng’s prepared Primordial Golden Immortal-level ambush. 128
- Was badly damaged when the Pangu True Body shattered the Demon Clan’s formations, leaving it unable to support another deployment of the River-Luo Formation in the near term. 318
Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation
A large-scale formation derived from the River Chart and Luo Book.
- Can evolve a miniature Primordial World to trap and kill opponents. 157
- Requires vast numbers of cultivators to realize its full potential. 158
- Was drilled by billions of Demon Clan members and could be deployed instantly after extensive preparation. 214
- At full operation, its power exceeded Primordial Golden Immortal Fullness and approached the Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal level. 213
- Can manipulate the miniature world’s terrain and flow of time. Di Jun used it to interrupt Taiwei’s attempted self-destruction and begin extracting his Star God origin and authority. 316
- Was shattered alongside the Zhou Tian Star Formation by the Pangu True Body’s Heaven-Splitting Axe strike; its damaged treasures prevented its immediate reuse. 318
Avatar and Concealment Strategy
Di Jun divides his strength to develop the Demon Clan without exposing his true body to the Witch Clan.
- Planned and created more than one hundred Great Firmament Golden Immortal avatars to establish hidden factions and recruit weaker races. 158
- Used avatars to manage Demon Clan territories, recruit subordinates, and conduct diplomacy. 214 255
- Avoids forcibly enslaving powerful experts when possible, recognizing that coerced subordinates may sabotage formations or betray him. 159
- Sacrificed his Benevolent and Evil Corpse Dao Bodies to cover the rescue of Immortal Court cultivators from an Earth Court encirclement. His corresponding Dao Bodies were again present in the later battle in which the Pangu True Body struck them down. 285 318
Star Formation Deduction
After refining a celestial system within the Demon Realm, Di Jun realized that stars themselves could become formation foundations.
- Refined a Sun Star, Moon Star, Ziwei Star, and 129,600 additional stars for the Demon Realm. 251
- Deduced a star-based grand formation capable of potentially rivaling or surpassing Hunyuan Great Firmament Golden Immortal-level power. 251
- The formation initially required observation of the Boundless Starry Sky, Stellar Origin, resources, and sufficient manpower. 252 253
- Completed the Zhou Tian Star Formation after sixteen Epochs of observing and deducing the stars’ natural trajectories. It resonates with the Boundless Starry Sky rather than changing the stars’ movements and requires at least 129,600 Star Banners; its strength depends on their quality and its operators. 266
- Intended to seize Star Gods’ origins and Stellar Authority to perfect the formation and secure control of the Boundless Starry Sky. Its Star Banners were badly damaged when the Pangu True Body destroyed the formation, rendering it unusable in the near term. 315 318
Merit-Fueled Recovery
Di Jun can expend Merit to restore damage that ordinary cultivation resources cannot quickly repair.
- Used Merit to mend Dao-wound cracks in his Dao Fruit, origin, and true spirit while surrounded by the Thirteen Ancestral Witches. 230
- Restored roughly forty percent of his strength before escaping with Taiyi. 230
- This method is extraordinarily costly and was used only because death was otherwise certain. 231
Equipment / Assets
- River Chart and Luo Book — Di Jun’s Top-Tier Innate Spiritual Treasure; used for deduction, concealment, storage, and the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation. It was badly damaged in the later battle against the Pangu True Body. 125 157 318
- Heavenly Emperor Seal — A Top-Tier Innate Spiritual Treasure with forty-eight Innate Divine Restrictions; grants Di Jun control of the Thirty-Three Heavens and reveals knowledge concerning the authority of the Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Court. 254
- Fusang Divine Mulberry — Fruit of the Supreme-Grade Innate Fusang Tree; with assistance, one fruit can guarantee a perfected Taiyi Golden Immortal’s advancement to Great Firmament Golden Immortal, though such advancement limits future potential. 159
- Thirty-Three Heavens — Thirty-three concealed Top-Tier Great Thousand Worlds controlled through the Heavenly Emperor Seal; they provide secure territory, resources, treasures, and a refuge inaccessible to the Witch Clan. 254 255
- Demon Realm — A world in Inner Chaos prepared as a hidden base and potential resurrection contingency through Di Jun and Taiyi’s Dao marks and essence blood. 251
- Zhou Tian Star Banners — At least 129,600 banners are required to establish Di Jun’s Zhou Tian Star Formation. The banners were badly damaged by the Pangu True Body’s axe strike. 266 318
- Sun Essence Wheel — Used to unleash Great Sun Golden Flame during the rescue of Immortal Court experts; Di Jun later intended to imprison Taiwei within it. 285 316
- Demon-Summoning Banner — A Supreme-Grade Postnatal Spiritual Treasure forged from material capable of gathering, controlling, and nurturing true spirits and Primordial Spirits. Nurtured by Demon Clan Fortune, it serves as a clan Fortune treasure and a means of controlling subordinates. 315
Relationships
- Taiyi — Brother, co-ruler of the Sun Star, and Di Jun’s closest ally. Taiyi repeatedly sacrifices Primordial Origin to save Di Jun, while Di Jun refuses to abandon Taiyi even when escape alone would be possible. 128 230
- The Twelve Ancestral Witches — Fated enemies and Di Jun’s primary rivals for dominance over the Primordial World. Their repeated assaults inflicted lasting damage on his foundation and Dao path. Their Earth Court later defeated his formations, but a Heavenly Dao ceasefire prevented the conflict from ending in the Demon Clan’s destruction. 128 213 318 326
- Jiufeng — The Witch Clan’s Thirteenth Ancestral Witch and Di Jun’s most dangerous individual pursuer; she ambushed and gravely wounded him after he lost the Sun Star’s support. 128
- Yuan Yan — A politically dangerous neutral power. Yuan Yan refused to sell Di Jun the improved Three Corpses Severing Method and later limited Demon Clan access to cultivation resources. Acting under a Heavenly Dao decree, he ultimately stopped the Earth Court from destroying Di Jun’s forces and imposed a ceasefire. 138 208 326
- Dongwang Gong — Initially regarded as a rival for supremacy; later became a reluctant ally of necessity against the Witch Clan. Their relationship remained defined by mutual suspicion and competing ambitions, and Di Jun withdrew his forces rather than sacrifice the Demon Clan to save Dongwang Gong’s Immortal Court. 72 250 263 271
- Xi He and Changxi — Potential Heaven-ordained marriage partners whose initial origin-based attraction did not develop into affection; both sisters rejected alignment or marriage with Di Jun and Taiyi. Di Jun later hoped they would accept Demon Clan protection, but was prepared to kill them if they continued refusing after he demonstrated his strength. 171 315
- Taiwei — A Star God whom Di Jun ordered to submit under binding oaths and surrender part of his true spirit to the Demon-Summoning Banner. Taiwei refused, prompting Di Jun to attack and attempt to seize his origin and authority. 315 316
- Demon Clan — Di Jun’s principal source of Fortune, military power, and political legitimacy. He presents himself as both its protector and its destined emperor. 214 255
Story Role / Major Arcs
Conflict with the Witch Clan
The Twelve Ancestral Witches invaded the Sun Star after advancing to the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Although Di Jun and Taiyi used their authority as Sun Star masters, the brothers were forced to flee after prolonged fighting. 124 125
Once Di Jun left the Sun Star and lost its Primordial Origin support, Jiufeng ambushed him with Yin-Yang Annihilation Fiendish Force. The attack shattered the River Chart and Luo Book’s defenses and gravely damaged his body, Primordial Spirit, and Innate Imperishable True Spirit. Taiyi burned his own Primordial Origin and used the Chaos Bell to save them both. 128
During a later pursuit, Di Jun and Taiyi sacrificed their Benevolent Corpse Dao Bodies, burning their origins, Dao Fruits, and True Spirits to create an opening for escape. The decision saved their lives but inflicted catastrophic long-term losses. 143
Founding the Demon Clan
Unable to defeat the Witch Clan through personal power, Di Jun concluded that he needed a unified force. He chose the name Demon Clan because it could encompass nearly all beings of the Myriad Tribes, then used hidden avatars to gather followers and prepare the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation. 158
After five hundred yuanhui of development, Di Jun publicly established the Demon Clan before the Heavenly Dao. He became the Demon Emperor, Taiyi became the Eastern Emperor, and the resulting Merit and Fortune elevated both brothers to the Late-Stage Primordial Golden Immortal realm. 214
The breakthrough did not remove Di Jun’s hatred. He openly challenged the Witch Clan, declaring that the Demon Clan would attack Pangu Temple in ten thousand years. 220
“Witch Clan savages! Ten thousand years from now, I will personally lead the Demon Clan army to trample your temple and wash away our humiliation with your blood!” 220
Defeat, Survival, and Escape
The Demon Clan’s clash with the Witch Clan culminated in the Pangu True Body’s “Earth-Cleaving” strike. Di Jun and Taiyi burned their origins and sacrificed their Good and Evil Corpse Dao Bodies to empower the Eastern Emperor Bell, but the attack still shattered their bodies, Dao Fruits, True Spirits, Karma, and fate across space-time. 228
The Demon Clan’s Fortune Dharma Form sacrificed more than half of the clan’s Fortune to keep them alive. Before the Witches could finish them, Dijiang withdrew the Pangu True Body rather than expose the weakened Witches to Dongwang Gong’s waiting Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. 228
Di Jun then secretly spent Merit to heal himself and Taiyi, deceived the Ancestral Witches with apparently unstable treasures, and escaped through the Chaos Bell’s space-time power. 230
Rebuilding the Demon Clan
After hiding in the Demon Realm for several Epochs, Di Jun began rebuilding his strength and considering an alliance with Dongwang Gong. He ultimately recognized that the Witch Clan had become an obstacle to his Dao Heart as well as his political ambitions. 249 250
His discovery of the Thirty-Three Heavens transformed the Demon Clan’s prospects. By refining the Heavenly Emperor Seal, Di Jun gained control of a concealed celestial domain rich in treasures and resources, which he viewed as the future foundation of the Heavenly Court. 254
He used the discovery to restore Demon Clan morale, resettle surviving members, recover scattered clansmen, recruit new races, and divide responsibilities with Taiyi. Di Jun returned to the Sun Star to heal and deduce his star-based formation, while Taiyi remained in the Thirty-Three Heavens to oversee expansion. 255
By Chapter 263, Di Jun had rejected Dongwang Gong’s proposed immediate assault on the Witch Clan. Instead, he planned to spend ten to twenty Epochs conquering the Southern Continent, rebuilding his Three Corpse Dao Bodies, strengthening his formations, and preparing the Thirty-Three Heavens as a concealed fallback. 263
The Demon Clan subsequently consolidated its conquest of the Southern Continent through a hierarchy of territorial governors. Its Fortune recovered and surpassed its former level, while Di Jun completed the Zhou Tian Star Formation during a sixteen-Epoch retreat to the Sun Star. 266
Earth Court Conflict and Heavenly Dao Ceasefire
When the Earth Court moved against Dongwang Gong’s Immortal Court, Di Jun secretly withdrew Demon Clan forces from the Southern Continent and ordered them to plunder resources as they left. He and Dongwang Gong had never sworn a binding alliance, and Di Jun would not sacrifice his own faction to protect him. 271
Di Jun and Taiyi later intervened to rescue nearly half the Immortal Court experts besieged by Earth Court, including seven Primordial Golden Immortals, three Quasi-Sages, and more than four hundred Great Firmament Golden Immortals. Di Jun sacrificed his Benevolent and Evil Corpse Dao Bodies to cover their escape. 285
After further growth aided by Demon Clan Fortune, Di Jun and Taiyi reached the Eighth-Layer Primordial Golden Immortal realm. Di Jun then sought to perfect the Zhou Tian Star Formation by bringing the Boundless Starry Sky and the Star Gods’ origins and authority under Demon Clan control. His attempt to subdue Taiwei was interrupted by the Ancestral Witches’ assault. 295 315 316
The Pangu True Body’s axe strike shattered both the Primordial River-Luo Grand Formation and the Zhou Tian Star Formation, devastated the Demon Clan, and grievously struck Di Jun and Taiyi despite the Eastern Emperor Bell’s protection. Facing a further strike, Di Jun accepted that he might die, but remained unwilling to perish without inflicting losses on the Witches. 318 326
Yuan Yan intervened under a Heavenly Dao decree, neutralized the next strike, and separated the armies. Di Jun and Taiyi accepted the resulting ceasefire, under which the Demon Clan governs the heavens, the Earth Court governs the land, and neither side may initiate war for three thousand Epochs. Di Jun interpreted the intervention as evidence of Heaven’s support for the Demon Clan. 326
