Background

Jiang Wanzhao was born in Great Yan and spent her childhood as a refugee, enduring hunger severe enough to stunt her physical development. A bowl of oil-splashed noodles marked the beginning of her escape from starvation, leaving the dish as her most treasured food. She later left Great Yan for the Eastern Lands Immortal Realm and had not returned for more than four centuries by the time she traveled with Zou Feng. 327 331

She became a true disciple of the Cauldron Heaven Immortal Sect and established Rakshasa Palace as her territory. Despite her status, she had shallow foundations within the sect and lacked a powerful patron, leaving her vulnerable to internal sidelining and political pressure. 404 426

Jiang Wanzhao invests resources in promising disciples. She initially regarded Zou Feng as one such prospect after witnessing his combat ability in an outer realm, then made a formal investment in him after his victories and loyalty became clear. 308 312 313

Appearance

Jiang Wanzhao ordinarily appears as a small, fierce-looking girl with twin upward braids and a childlike voice. Her immature appearance was not deliberate; it resulted from childhood malnutrition. 292 327 331

• In her usual form, she has a stern expression, blue eyes, and an intentionally queenly bearing that contrasts with her youthful features. 292
• Her mature transformation changes her into a tall, regal beauty with an elongated oval face and a markedly more imposing presence. 331 380
• Her mature form is tied to emotional stimulation and was initially difficult for her to control or maintain. 331 336

Personality

Jiang Wanzhao is proud, combative, and intensely driven to earn merit through decisive action. She dislikes cautious defensive strategies and was frustrated when Yu Lingxiao’s conservatism allowed a Golden Core enemy to escape. 354

She is also direct and pragmatic. When Heavenly Listening Tower showed signs of internal betrayal, she ordered Zou Feng and Zhao Feixiong to investigate discreetly rather than publicize suspicions prematurely. 358

Behind her forceful exterior, Jiang Wanzhao values loyalty and repays it with concrete support. She repeatedly protects Zou Feng, provides him with cultivation resources, and comes to trust him as someone capable of guarding her back in battle. 313 401 404

Abilities & Skills

Golden Core Cultivation

As a Golden Core cultivator and true disciple, Jiang Wanzhao possesses overwhelming spiritual pressure, high-speed mobility, and powerful divine sense.

• Her descending pressure immobilized three pursuing sea dragons on the ocean’s surface. 327
• She used divine-sense searching to locate targets during the hunt for the Auspicious. 327
• She can access Cauldron Heaven Immortal Sect privileges through the Heavenly Dao Cauldron, allowing exceptionally rapid responses to distress calls. 327

Thousand-Hand Asura Dharma Form

Jiang Wanzhao can manifest the Thousand-Hand Asura Dharma Form, a large-scale combat manifestation suited to direct confrontation.

• The Dharma Form allowed her to rejoin the fight against the masked magistrate after recovering enough strength. 402
• Her combat role complements Zou Feng and Ye Chenhua’s abilities: she excels in close combat, defense, and absorbing enemy attacks at the front line. 418

Heaven-and-Earth Manifestation

Jiang Wanzhao can enlarge her power into massive palm-based attacks.

• She used a giant manifested palm to batter the Golden Core dragon Luo Gang after Zou Feng’s barrage weakened him. 382
• Her palm strike coordinated with Zou Feng’s Superconducting Poison Magnetic Cannon to kill the rogue cultivator Sun Wuhen. 392

Mature-Form Divine Ability

Her second growth unlocked a mature physical form and an additional divine ability.

• The transformation represents the fully developed state her body would have attained without childhood deprivation. 331
• Emotional excitement can trigger the change, though she initially reverts once her emotions settle. 331
• The form may be suppressed or disrupted by external conditions, including wolf poison. 376

Five-Finger Mountain

In a desperate battle against Gongyang Wuji, Jiang Wanzhao used her final move, Five-Finger Mountain.

• She burned her primal chaos energy to drive her techniques to their limit. 456
• The move was interrupted by a starry-sky beast’s claw before it could decisively harm Gongyang Wuji. 456
• Burning her primal chaos energy severely damaged her future prospects for Nascent Soul formation and heavenly tribulation survival. 456

Equipment / Items

• Blood Jade Essence — A rare resource she cultivated for a century; Lu Guanghua threatened to destroy it by detonating his Golden Core. 315

Relationships

• Zou Feng — Initial investment target who becomes a trusted subordinate, ally, and eventual patron-like figure. Jiang Wanzhao protects and guides him, while Zou Feng repeatedly risks himself to save her. 313 327 401 404
• Zhao Feixiong — Subordinate skilled in physiognomy. He obsessively pursued Jiang Wanzhao and attempted to present betrothal gifts, but she barred him from her birthday banquet. 330 331
• Ye Chenhua — Fellow true disciple and Zou Feng’s other assigned protector. He works with Jiang Wanzhao and Zou Feng as part of a highly complementary three-person combat group. 404 418
• Su Qingyu — Fellow cultivator under Jiang Wanzhao’s command during the Northern Region deployment and operations around Heavenly Listening Tower. 351 373
• Lu Guanghua — Fellow Golden Core cultivator and hostile rival who used a forbidden technique and threatened Jiang Wanzhao to prevent her from protecting Zou Feng. 315
• Gongyang Wuji — Northern Region enemy whose trap leaves Jiang Wanzhao facing capture and forces her to burn her primal chaos energy. 453 456
• Xia Jingrui — Rebel Golden Core wolf demon whom Jiang Wanzhao defeats during the confiscation of Wind-Chanting Manor; Xia’s self-destruction severely injures and poisons her. 373 374
