Power Progression

Background

Jiang Yuechu is a modern twenty-first-century person who transmigrates into the body of an unfamiliar young woman in the Great Tang, a land plagued by man-eating demons. She awakens in a wilderness amid prison-uniformed corpses, Demon Suppression Guards, a dead tiger demon, and the wounded squad leader Pei Changqing. To survive, she kills Pei and takes his cultivation. 1 2

The body she inhabits belongs to Jiang Yuechu, daughter of Jiang Xun, the Vice Minister of Rites. The Jiang household was implicated in a case serious enough for her to be escorted toward the frontier, though she finds the circumstances suspicious: women of a condemned family would ordinarily be sent to the Music Office, while Jiang Xun held neither military nor financial authority. 7 Jiang Xun remains imprisoned in the capital, while Xu Changfeng privately speculates that Jiang Yuechu's parentage may be more politically significant than it appears. 49

Xu Changfeng's speculation is later borne out by events surrounding Jiang Yuechu's imperial recognition. Jiang Xun had allegedly been rendered infertile before her birth, yet rose rapidly through the late emperor's favor afterward. Jiang Yuechu is publicly acknowledged as Great Tang's Eldest Princess and is welcomed by the reigning emperor as his younger sister. 49 252 261 Li Qianyuan, the former emperor, attempts to reveal that he is her biological father immediately before she kills him, but Jiang Yuechu mistakes the declaration for a desperate provocation and never understands his confession. 330

Her survival changes when the Hundred Demons Register allows her to trace the shadows of slain demons in exchange for Dao Cultivation. The first such record, the Tiger Mountain God, grants her a saber art and begins her rapid rise in strength. 2

While advancing the Tiger Mountain God record, Jiang Yuechu experiences a life sequence of a frail South Mountain tiger cub. The cub survives abandonment, encounters the White Ape Lord, and later learns reading and blade use under him. 6

As her cultivation rises, the Register evolves into the Myriad Demon Records, a Dao Painting capable of recording powerful demon phantoms and supplying her with their abilities. Its growth remains central to her cultivation path, as she relies on hunting and recording demons to gain Dao Cultivation and Dao Essence. 800 846 881

After entering the Wandering Void Sea Realm, the Myriad Demon Records fuses into Jiang Yuechu's body, blood, bones, and instincts instead of remaining merely a summoned external scroll. This integration greatly strengthens her foundation and allows her to call upon its power naturally. 903

Jiang Yuechu's rapid rise eventually brings her into conflict with the Heavenly Court. Her actions in the Cloud-Dream Realm, including the death of Immortal Official Xuan Luan and the defeat of a fifth-rank divine general, result in the Heavenly Court and Gold Mother treating her as a major threat. 967 974 980

Appearance

Jiang Yuechu is a slender, refined-looking young woman whose harmless appearance routinely causes others to underestimate her. She is eighteen during her early service in the Demon Suppression Office and remains notably youthful even after entering the highest ranks of cultivation. 19 20 586

• Long hair, commonly tied into a high ponytail. 9
• Thin collarbones and a slight build. 9
• Usually wears the fitted black uniform with crimson patterns of the Demon Suppression Office. 18 20
• Carries a saber and is notably composed even when threatened at close range. 36
• Her tiger-based transformation can turn her into a tiger-human hybrid after she absorbs a tiger claw. 16
• As a Silver-Robed Inspector, she wears a Fire-Washed Cloth uniform bearing the Golden Suanni insignia. 79
• She is later often seen in plain black, snow-white, or official Sky-Patrol Bureau robes; her restrained dress frequently conceals her terrifying strength. 616 798 935
• Wei Qing's efforts to dress her for formal occasions reveal a gentler, radiant beauty normally obscured by Jiang Yuechu's killing intent and martial clothing. 205
• Her white robes and youthful appearance continue to conceal a body capable of physically suppressing other Myriad-Forms Heaven cultivators. 992

Personality

Jiang Yuechu is pragmatic, adaptable, and intensely survival-driven. Shortly after arriving in the Great Tang, she kills Pei Changqing for cultivation, disguises herself in a Demon Suppression Office uniform, and loots supplies from dead guards rather than remain helpless. 2 3

Despite claiming that she is neither a saint nor a hero, she is disturbed by the suffering at Upper Pan Village and chooses to fight the wolf demons threatening its inhabitants. 4 She later demonstrates the same uncompromising sense of retribution by brutally killing the Black Bear Demon after witnessing its torture of humans. 46

She is outwardly cold and economical with words, but she recognizes genuine help. She formally thanks Liu Chen for his guidance after becoming his equal in rank, rewards her own squad after their mission, and asks after Xu Nian's fate following his crippling injury. 23 35 47

Jiang Yuechu has little patience for intimidation, hierarchy games, or gender-based prejudice. She defeats Zhao Hu when he challenges her place in Xuan Camp, forces Chen Tong to kneel with a sheathed saber, and executes Baosha Temple monks despite their threats. 21 36 43

Her leadership is stern but unusually humane. Upon receiving command of the Vanguard Camp, she allows every subordinate to transfer away from the near-suicidal Jade Gate Pass campaign without shame or punishment. She then advances pay and gives money to those who choose to remain. 52

Jiang Yuechu remains highly practical even against overwhelmingly stronger enemies. She avoids wasteful head-on battles, exploits openings, and readily uses more powerful allies as shields when doing so improves her odds of survival. 607 She can also be deceptively sharp-tongued and manipulative when seeking intelligence, as shown when she draws out Wang Canglan's cultivation weakness from Junior Sister Xu. 490

Though indifferent to fame and ceremony, Jiang Yuechu increasingly treats her personal strength as inseparable from Great Tang's safety. She recognizes that her failure could endanger the dynasty, yet refuses to become passive or depend entirely on others for protection. 838

Her responsibility extends even to former subordinates whom she has not seen for years. After receiving an unexplained note from someone addressing her as “my lord,” she returns to Longyou and orders an investigation into the later lives of Bujie, Liu Ke, Chen Tong, and the other members of her old squad. 1009

After entering the Painting Realm, Jiang Yuechu joins the Sky-Patrol Bureau as a Ninth-Rank Sky-Patrol Guard. Despite her low formal rank, she repeatedly demonstrates combat power capable of crushing far stronger cultivators, advances through Wandering Void Sea, and enters the Myriad-Forms Heaven Realm. 800 846 894 926 936 974

Her conflict with the Heavenly Court escalates after she kills or defeats its officials and becomes associated with the death of Gold Mother's offspring. She rejects the Heavenly Immortal path for fear that merging the Myriad Demon Records into the Heavenly Dao would damage her cheat ability and Great Tang's fate. 967 980

Jiang Yuechu later clashes with Zhang Shili, a Myriad-Forms Heaven Initial Realm cultivator, and physically overwhelms him before pursuing him after his retreat. She strengthens her internal blood sea through the Great Netherworld Blood Sea Scripture, developing a more powerful Myriad-Forms Heaven and Earth foundation while preparing to enter Buddhist territory. 992 1005

Return to Longyou and the Bujie Investigation

Jiang Yuechu returns to Longyou after receiving an unexplained message from someone who addresses her as “my lord.” Rather than assume the identity of the messenger, she asks Wei He and Xu Changfeng to investigate the later lives of Bujie, Liu Ke, Chen Tong, and the other members of her former squad. The request reconnects her current Heavenly Court and Buddhist-territory conflicts with the unresolved fate of her earliest comrades. 1009
