Zi Tian Palace

Biodata

Background / History

Zi Tian established Zi Tian Palace after the God of Destruction sent him to the Douluo Realm with the task of uniting the continent through his own abilities. Although he had a headquarters, he initially had no followers and was unsure how to recruit powerful experts 1.

The building itself was constructed by deities accompanying Zi Tian. He had wanted a simple place to stay, but they “accidentally” erected a lavish palace almost immediately after his arrival. To avoid explaining their involvement, Zi Tian told visitors that he had found the palace empty and moved in 5 10.

Appearance

• Exterior: An enormous purple palace standing on an open wilderness plain and glowing with soft light 4 10.
• Entrance: A plaque above the main gate bears the palace’s name 10.
• Interior: Purple-gold walls and a massive Purple-Gold Throne used by Zi Tian 14 19.
• Facilities: Includes a bathroom and space for visitors to wash and change 4 5.
• Furnishings and treasures: Its splendor impresses Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, who compare it favorably with the Star Luo imperial palace and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even Bibi Dong encounters legendary rarities she has never seen before 4 10 23.

Organization

Confirmed Members

Membership Terms

• Zi Tian rejected Zhu Zhuqing’s offer to give her life in return for assistance, asking her to join instead 5.
• Members are expected to fight when Zi Tian Palace needs them; Zi Tian explicitly made this a condition of Xiao Wu’s protection 14.
• Zhu Zhuqing was instructed to concentrate on cultivation rather than immediately repay Zi Tian’s help 8.

Supporters and Visitors

• Bone Douluo / Gu Rong — Offered Zi Tian his service after receiving a healing pill and breaking through his bottleneck. He subsequently guarded the entrance, but explicitly stated that he was not a palace member 12 13 14.
• Concealed deities — Built, protected, and maintained the palace while pretending to be passing through the mortal realm. Some served Zi Tian’s parents; others had voluntarily chosen to follow Zi Tian himself 5 23.
• Bibi Dong — Brought to the palace after being rescued from Qian Daoliu, allowing Qian Renxue to confront her directly. No recruitment is recorded 22 23 24.

Defenses and Resources

Divine Protection

The palace’s apparent lack of personnel conceals the deities stationed around it 5 15.

• A hidden deity reduced Zhu Zhuqing’s pursuers to dust before they reached the gates 5.
• Deities knocked Bone Douluo’s flying bone dragon from the sky and later allowed him and Ning Rongrong to approach 10.
• An unseen force immobilized Bone Douluo despite his Rank 95 Soul Power; nearby deities also reinforced the unstable space around the palace 11.
• These interventions are disguised as accidents or acts by travelers because Divine Realm law forbids deities from interfering with lower realms 5 18.

Spatial Restrictions and Privacy

• Zi Tian blocked the accompanying deities’ divine senses from probing the interior. They could detect power fluctuations but could not observe the events inside 18 19.
• He created a separate, isolated space for Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong’s conversation, shutting out outside information 24.

Cultivation Support

These benefits come from Zi Tian’s abilities and resources, rather than a documented cultivation effect of the building itself 8 12.

• Martial Soul evolution: Zi Tian transformed Zhu Zhuqing’s Hell Spirit Cat into the God Level Netherworld Lord, granting a domain, additional Soul Skills, and at least triple her previous combat strength. Further evolution required her to become a god and transform her life essence 8.
• Life-energy treatment: Strengthened Ning Rongrong’s body and helped refine her Soul Power and Martial Soul 11 12.
• Healing pills: A pill restored Bone Douluo’s injuries and enabled his breakthrough from Rank 95 to Rank 96 Super Douluo 12 13.

Maintenance

• Zi Tian describes the palace as self-cleaning, but the demonstrated cleaning is performed by a concealed deity using a water-flow Soul Skill 5.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Refuge for the Hunted

• Zhu Zhuqing first enters while fleeing Zhu Zhuyun’s pursuers. Zi Tian offers her safety, and she becomes the faction’s first recruit 4 5.
• Xiao Wu reaches the palace after the Sky Screen exposes her Soul Beast identity. Zi Tian refuses to exploit her Soul Ring or Soul Bone and offers protection through membership 14.
• Qian Renxue escapes into the palace after her impersonation of Xue Qinghe is revealed and forces at the border attack her 16 17.

Border Standoff

• Soul Masters from both empires gather outside to capture Xiao Wu, with Zi Tian Palace serving as their dividing line. Their dispute over territory and the right to seize her temporarily prevents an advance 15 16.
• Qian Renxue’s battle with Zi Tian produces a fluctuation that briefly weakens nearby Soul Masters by five percent. After it disappears, imperial commanders suspect a hidden powerhouse and postpone confrontation 19.

Recruitment Through Challenges

• Ning Rongrong attempts to claim leadership on the premise that the strongest member should rule. Zi Tian defeats her almost immediately 10 11.
• Qian Renxue wagers her membership on Zi Tian surviving three attacks. He defeats her with Void Annihilation, restores her with life energy, and welcomes her into the faction 18 19.

Qian Renxue’s Family Crisis

• After learning that Bibi Dong killed Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue asks to leave and confront her mother. Zi Tian instead arranges for Bibi Dong to be brought to the palace, invoking his responsibility toward his deputy 22 23.
• Zi Tian gives mother and daughter privacy to resolve their conflict, reserving intervention if Bibi Dong attacks Qian Renxue 24.
• During their meeting, he summons Tang San from the crowd outside and recruits him, reuniting him with Xiao Wu 24.
