Background / History
Dijiang was severely injured during the first Witch-Demon War after taking a blow from Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Chaos Bell to protect his siblings. He spent ten years bedridden, during which he experienced a dream of life as a Blue Star corporate worker named Di Jiang. In that dream, Primordial World novels revealed the Witch Clan's future destruction in the Demon-Witch Calamity. 1
When Hongjun decreed that demons would rule the heavens and witches manage the earth, Dijiang recognized the order as a path toward the Witch Clan's ruin. The Cowering System then offered him three choices; he chose to remain hidden, receiving a Quasi-Sage Pangu Primordial Spirit and the knowledge contained within it. 1
He used a false appearance of lingering injury to persuade the militant Ancestral Witches to delay war with the Demon Clan. During a thousand years of seclusion on Mount Buzhou, he cultivated the Spatial Law, refined pills and artifacts, acquired the Godslaying Spear, and obtained a secret art allowing the Witch Clan to cultivate primordial spirits. 2 4
When his siblings finally rebelled against his policy of inaction, Dijiang deliberately provoked them into attacking. He defeated Zhu Rong, shattered the combined Ten Directions Annihilation technique, and revealed Pangu's Primordial Spirit to establish unquestioned authority over the Twelve Ancestor Witches. 5 6
Dijiang later collected Pangu Essence Blood from his siblings to construct the Law of Strength, created twelve indistinguishable Ancestor Witch clones, and relocated the Witch Clan into Pangu Hall and the Thirty-Six Heavens. This concealed the clan's true location and strength from the Demon Clan, Sages, and other hostile forces. 8 12 13
As external factions repeatedly sought to force the Witch Clan into the conflict, Dijiang turned Pangu Hall into an increasingly fortified refuge. He repelled Zhunti and Jieyin through the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Formation and displayed Pangu Hall's ability to suppress Sage-level power. 27 31 33
When numerous factions besieged Pangu Hall, Dijiang escalated the conflict by using temporal-spatial methods to release ferocious beasts sealed across space and time. He used the resulting Beast Calamity to disrupt the Primordial World's existing balance while continuing to cultivate within Pangu Hall. 43 45 50
After absorbing the calamity and fusing increasingly numerous laws, Dijiang developed the Law-Tribulation Body. This allowed him to suppress Nuwa, defeat Yuanshi despite his succession of supreme Dharma treasures, and contend against Tongtian's sword arts and Taiqing's formations. 72 79 80 82 84
Dijiang later fought Hongjun directly, using the Godslaying Spear, Heaven-Suppressing Coffin, Sea-Calming Pearls, and Chaos Pearl against Hongjun's Jade Disc of Creation and Hongmeng Heaven-Measuring Ruler. During this conflict, he openly invoked Luohou as an ally, though their relationship later deteriorated into open hostility. 96 97
At Pangu's direct request, Dijiang surrendered the Immortal Executioner Sword Formation to Tongtian so that Tongtian could merge with the Human Dao and become its Lord. Although he recognized Tongtian's debt and mutual appreciation, Dijiang remained unwilling to place personal trust above the Witch Clan's interests. 103 111
Having reached the Half-Step Great Dao Realm, Dijiang stripped Pangu's Spatial Blood Essence from himself and transferred it to Xing Tian. He did so to strengthen the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Formation as the Witch Clan's ultimate safeguard while pursuing a Great Dao that belonged to himself rather than remaining bound to Pangu's inherited Law of Strength. 117 118
Dijiang subsequently used a life-and-death confrontation with Luohou, Taiqing, and Tongtian to seek the Great Dao Realm. After being refined into a Great Dao Pill within the Heaven-Splitting Great Dao, he was revived and instructed by Pangu, establishing his own Great Dao and gaining the foundation of the Three Thousand Great Daos. 127 129 133 134
As threats from the Heavenly Dao, resurrected worlds, and extraterritorial Gods and Devils became clearer, Dijiang continued gathering Great Daos and strengthening Pangu Hall. He captured the Journey to the West protagonists, obtained ten Great Daos from Tang Sanzang, and began planning to repair the Primordial World's Four Great Sources while preparing against future external invasions. 142 143 147
When Luohou attempted to exploit the repair of the Four Great Sources, Dijiang outmaneuvered him, freed Return Ruins from the Northern Darkness, stole Luohou's Demon Dao Origin, and sought to make Luohou replace the suppressed guardian of Undying Fire Volcano. He ultimately trapped Luohou with the Binding-Origin Heavenly Dragon Formation and Chaos Tribulation Lightning. 153 155 156
Personality
Dijiang is cautious, calculating, and openly distrustful of the Heavenly Dao, the Sages, and the apparent destiny imposed on the Witch Clan. Having learned of the clan's original fate, he rejects heroic confrontation in favor of long-term survival, cultivation, concealment, and preparation. 1 2
He is willing to deceive and provoke even his own siblings when he believes it necessary. He feigned an unhealed Chaos Bell wound, manipulated the Ancestral Witches into accepting his authority, and used Pangu's name to make them follow his commands. 3 6 7
Despite this ruthlessness, Dijiang consistently invests in the Witch Clan's survival and advancement. He refines pills, trains Great Witches through his incarnations, grants cultivation guidance, shelters the clan within Pangu Hall, and shares the Chaos Pearl with the newly ascended Witch Sages. 7 18 42
Dijiang is highly ambitious regarding his own path. Rather than merely inherit the Great Dao of Strength or connect himself to one of the three thousand Great Daos, he seeks to establish a personal Great Dao that surpasses his inherited foundation. 118 126
Though he normally values restraint and preparation, he remains fundamentally a Witch who welcomes decisive battle when it offers a path to advancement or protects his people. He deliberately chose battle against multiple Great Dao experts to force a breakthrough and persisted through repeated death and rebirth in the Heaven-Splitting Great Dao. 127 129 133
Abilities & Skills

- Neutralized Yuanshi's Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and enabled Dijiang to destroy or seize numerous Dharma treasures barehanded. 79 80
- Lets him catch Sage-level weapons, including Yuanshi's Immortal-Slaying God-Exterminating Saber and Tongtian's Qingping Sword, with his bare hands. 79 82
- Branded Half-Step Great Dao power into his body and blood, allowing his physical cultivation to advance alongside his life cultivation. 127
Great Dao Arts
After cultivating Minor Dao Deity-Passing and establishing his personal Great Dao, Dijiang gained access to numerous Great Dao powers and can apply them in combination. 126 133 134
- Minor Dao Deity-Passing connects him to the phantoms of the three thousand Great Daos, allowing him to sense Great Dao traces and choose potential paths of fusion. 117 126
- Undying Great Dao granted repeated restoration during his attempt to prove the Great Dao Realm. 127 133

External Incarnation Technique
Using Void Nether Stone and Pangu-derived techniques, Dijiang created incarnations and later twelve Ancestor Witch clones modeled on himself and his siblings. 3 8
- His clones replicate the aura, laws, and physical bodies of the Twelve Ancestor Witches. 12
- Pangu Hall was integrated into the clones, making them difficult to distinguish even through Sage-level deduction. 12
- His incarnations act as fighters, trainers, artifact refiners, pill refiners, and formation builders. 14 18
- He uses incarnations to meet hostile visitors while concealing his true body. 20 27
- Can produce multiple identical Dijiang incarnations through Pangu-derived methods, confusing enemies such as Ancestral Dragon and Taiqing. 51 84
Pangu Hall Mastery
After constructing the Law of Strength, Dijiang gained the qualifications to control and refine Pangu Hall. Its functions form the foundation of the Witch Clan's hidden territory and defenses. 11
- Malice Detection identifies hostile infiltrators and hidden enemies among Witch Clan members. 11 34
- Seamless Awareness gathers information from throughout the Primordial Wilderness through Pangu's scattered power. 34
- Universal Spirit Communion allowed him to detect Ancestral Dragon despite his infiltration methods. 37

- Severs visiting Dao Lords and Heavenly Dao Saints from their external Dao authority, forcing them to rely on their own mana and treasures. 90 148

Formations and Pangu Phantom
Dijiang uses the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Grand Formation with the other Ancestral Witches or their incarnations to summon a Pangu Phantom. 28 31
- The Pangu Phantom can strike with an illusory axe empowered by the Law of Strength. 28 29
- The formation originally sustained three axe strikes, but Dijiang enhanced it with the Law of Strength and Pangu Hall's Primordial Power. 32
- He established the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Gods-and-Devils Formation to nourish and protect the Thirty-Six Heavens. 13
- After transferring his Spatial Blood Essence to Xing Tian, he intended for the Witch Sages and Xing Tian to reform the formation and summon Pangu at Dao-Entry or Minor Dao strength. 118
- The formation awakened Pangu's consciousness during Dijiang's Great Dao breakthrough, enabling Pangu to revive and instruct him. 133
- He later deployed the nine-Great-Dao Binding-Origin Heavenly Dragon Formation to imprison Luohou. 155 156
Alchemy and Artifact Refinement
Dijiang learned alchemy and artifact refinement from Pangu's Primordial Spirit rather than relying solely on physical cultivation. 1 3
- Refined the Hundred-Turn Golden Elixir, described as ten times more effective than the Nine-Revolution Golden Pill. 3
- Created pills that healed Zhu Rong and helped multiple Ancestral Witches improve their laws. 7
- Produced weapons, artifacts, and other cultivation resources during his thousand-year seclusion. 4
- Trained Jiu Feng in Pangu-derived alchemy and artifact-refinement methods, entrusting her with these responsibilities for the Witch Clan. 66
Equipment / Weapons / Items

- Pangu — The source of Dijiang's Primordial Spirit, cultivation experience, techniques, and the Witch Clan's bloodline reverence. Pangu later appeared directly, instructed Dijiang to aid Tongtian's Human Dao ascension, revived Dijiang during his Great Dao breakthrough, and imparted Great Dao insights. 1 6 21 103 133
- Tongtian — A Sage who visited Pangu Hall, healed Dijiang's Chaos Bell wound, and attempted to persuade the Witch Clan to contend for the Primordial Wilderness. Though they have mutual appreciation, Dijiang distrusts Tongtian's allegiances; he nevertheless surrendered the Immortal Executioner Sword Formation to him at Pangu's request. 13 14 103 111 127

- Taiqing — A major adversary who became a Heavenly Dao puppet and sought Dijiang's Pangu Primordial Spirit Origin. Taiqing joined Luohou against Dijiang but withdrew Heavenly Dao power at a critical moment out of fear of Luohou's advantage. 84 104 127 129 143
- Luohou — Demon Ancestor and Lord of Earthly Dao. Initially presented by Dijiang as an ally against Hongjun, Luohou later became a hostile rival who sought Dijiang's Great Daos; Dijiang exposed his schemes, stole his Demon Dao Origin, and imprisoned him in the Binding-Origin Heavenly Dragon Formation. 96 153 155 156
- Return Ruins — One of Pangu's elemental guardians, formerly bound to suppress the Northern Darkness. Dijiang freed him by using the Translocation Great Dao as a replacement while preserving Return Ruins' authority over the seas. 153
- Hongjun — The Dao-Merged figure whose decree and perceived manipulation of the Witch Clan drove Dijiang to choose concealment over open conflict. Dijiang later fought him directly and learned that Hongjun was pursuing the Heaven-Earth-Human Three Daos. 1 50 96 143
