Background

Di Jiang is one of the Twelve Ancestral Witches born from Father God Pangu's essence blood and a master of the Witch Clan. He possesses exceptional prestige among his siblings: Zhu Rong and Gong Gong immediately cease fighting when he intervenes. 1

When Houtu brought the gestating Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon to Pangu Hall, Di Jiang recognized that its aura shared the Ancestral Witches' origin but differed from their blood-derived nature. He opposed proposals to refine it, insisting that they first determine its origin and purpose. 1 2

After personally inspecting Pan Xuan's aura, Di Jiang confirmed that Pan Xuan was born from Pangu's noble righteous qi and accepted him as a brother. 3

Appearance

In his true form, Di Jiang is a formless, faceless god-demon whose shape resembles a yellow sack, red as cinnabar fire. His presence distorts the surrounding space. 1

• True form — Six feet and four wings; faceless and formless. 1
• Aura — Spatial fluctuations severe enough to distort space itself. 1
• Innate Dao body — A resolute middle-aged man with a square face, thick brows, and large eyes. 7
• Spatial presence — Even in human form, the air around him appears deeper under the influence of his power of space. 7

Personality

Di Jiang is serious, prudent, and decisive. He treats Pangu's relics with reverence, demands investigation before action, and responds quickly to possible threats; after Pan Xuan identified the Destruction Stele, Di Jiang immediately ordered the group to leave the abyss. 2 21

As the group's leader, he is protective of his siblings. He supported Pan Xuan despite doubts surrounding the Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light, arranged for all Twelve Ancestral Witches to teach him, and placed Pan Xuan and Houtu within the group's protective formation when the violent Sha Qi erupted from the western restriction. 5 6 19

He is also receptive to sound counsel. Di Jiang recognizes Pan Xuan's strategic value, adopts his proposal for the Witch Clan to grow discreetly, and credits him with providing a path for the clan's future. 12 15

Abilities & Skills

Law of Space and Speed

Di Jiang commands the laws of space and speed, with an understanding of spatial Dao that few beings can match. 1 7

• His spatial power can suppress conflict among the Ancestral Witches and seal off an area in response to danger. 1 2
• He formed invisible spatial blades and waves to assault the western innate restriction. 19
• His spatial power deepened substantially after absorbing the Ferocious Beast Sha Qi. 20
• He could not break the ancient restriction alone, even after increasing his strength. 19

Ancestral Witch Physique

As an Ancestral Witch, Di Jiang can absorb Sha Qi to temper and strengthen his body.

• He absorbed the ancient Sha Qi at the Ferocious Beast Calamity site, breaking past the limits of a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. 20
• Unlike Houtu, he does not possess a primordial spirit; after the other Ancestral Witches failed to develop one under the Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light, he declined to undergo the test. 11
• The absence of a primordial spirit limits the Witch Clan's ability to comprehend the Heavenly Dao and advance their cultivation through conventional means. 12

Leadership and Strategic Judgment

Di Jiang directs the Twelve Ancestral Witches' collective decisions and operations.

• He organized the effort to teach Pan Xuan the Dao, beginning the instruction himself with the law of space. 6 7
• He proposed testing Pan Xuan's Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light on ordinary witches, recognizing its potential to transform the Witch Clan. 12
• He accepted Pan Xuan's strategy of secretly collecting battlefield corpses and accumulating strength rather than openly expanding the clan. 15 16
• He ordered the group to avoid active battlefields and personally checked for enemy scouts before moving between sites. 17
• He used inherited memories to identify the realm reached by the Ancestral Witches after their breakthrough. 24

Items

• Destruction Stele — Di Jiang retrieved the stele from the western abyss after Pan Xuan's inspection and later placed it in Pangu Hall for further study. 21 22
• Pangu Hall — The ancestral home and secure base of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, where Di Jiang conducts discussions and shelters Pan Xuan. 1 16

Relationships

• Pan Xuan — Younger brother. Di Jiang confirmed their shared Pangu origin, accepted him into the family, protected him, and later recognized him as the Witch Clan's “lucky star.” 3 6 15
• Houtu — Younger sister and fellow Ancestral Witch. Di Jiang supported her transformation after the Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light was used on her and celebrated the birth of her primordial spirit. 10 12
• Zhu Jiuyin — Fellow elder Ancestral Witch and trusted adviser. Di Jiang regularly seeks his insight; Zhu Jiuyin stopped him from interrupting Houtu's transformation. 1 5 10
• Zhu Rong and Gong Gong — Fellow Ancestral Witches whose recurring disputes Di Jiang can end through his authority. 1 17
• The Twelve Ancestral Witches — Di Jiang serves as their central decision-maker, coordinating their cultivation, expeditions, and the Witch Clan's long-term strategy. 6 16 21

Story Role / Major Arcs

Recognition of Pan Xuan

Di Jiang initially regarded the gestating dragon as an unknown Pangu relic and urged caution. Once he confirmed Pan Xuan's origin, he formally accepted him as a brother and brought him into the Twelve Ancestral Witches' family. 2 3

Teaching Pan Xuan and the Primordial Spirit Discovery

Di Jiang led the decision to help Pan Xuan take a Dao body through systematic Dao instruction. He taught first, expounding the law of space, and supported Pan Xuan when the Heavenly Enlightenment Wisdom Light was questioned. 5 7

Following Houtu's emergence of a primordial spirit, Di Jiang immediately recognized the wider implications for the Witch Clan. He proposed using the Wisdom Light on ordinary witches, who may have absorbed less Sha Qi than the Ancestral Witches. 11 12

Witch Clan Strategy

When the Ancestral Witches considered creating more clansmen, Di Jiang invited Pan Xuan to give his opposing view. He accepted Pan Xuan's warning that overt expansion could provoke the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans into destroying the Witch Clan, then adopted a strategy of covertly gathering corpses and absorbing Sha Qi until the three clans weakened one another. 14 15

Western Expedition and Breakthrough

Di Jiang led the Ancestral Witches across the battlefields of the three clans and into the western lands. After their attacks failed to break an ancient restriction, he relied on Pan Xuan's Righteous Vitality Formula to open it and protected Pan Xuan and Houtu from the Sha Qi within. 17 19

Within the abyss, Di Jiang absorbed ancient Ferocious Beast Sha Qi and broke through alongside the other participating Ancestral Witches. He then supported Pan Xuan's warning about the Destruction Stele and ordered an immediate withdrawal to Pangu Hall. 20 21

Mount Buzhou

After the breakthrough, Di Jiang agreed that the Witch Clan should cease collecting corpses to avoid drawing attention. He joined Pan Xuan and the other Ancestral Witches in climbing Mount Buzhou to temper themselves and honor Pangu. 25
