Background / History

Protecting the Sun Sect’s Young Heir

Uncle Jiang belongs to the small group sustaining the declining Sun God Sect. Despite its severe shortage of resources, he reaches the Immortal Platform Second Realm; Li Wangxian regards this achievement as evidence of exceptional talent 8 28.

Li Shenglan assigns him to accompany the four-year-old Li Wangxian to Yang City, formerly the sect’s Sun Sacred City. Jiang disguises them before entry and explains the Morning Bell’s dimensions, structure, and acoustics, helping Wangxian understand what his own bell artifact lacks 5 6.

When cultivators target them after detecting their disguises, Jiang immediately retreats through the void. He uses successive Profound Jade Platforms and detonates an artifact behind them, killing more than a dozen pursuers and preventing the survivors from tracing their coordinates. Both return safely to the sect 6.

Scripture Restoration and Secret Guardianship

After Li Wangxian’s ancestral bloodline transformation, Jiang blocks the divine senses probing him and escorts him to the main hall. He later tests the restored Sun Scripture through cultivation and confirms that its two repaired volumes produce a sense of completeness, though Li Shenglan clarifies that they still lack the full imperial profundities 8 10.

Jiang initially opposes Wangxian’s plan to travel at five and a half years old, fearing that his age would attract dangerous attention. After Wangxian defeats his father in their spar, Jiang acknowledges the victory with pride despite his lingering concern 11 12.

During the ensuing journey, he follows secretly, intending to intervene only if Wangxian’s life is endangered. Outside Thunder City, he identifies the cultivator inciting the crowd against Wangxian and offers to act, but Wangxian refuses the intervention and kills the instigator himself 13 24.

Tianyuan’s Fortune

At the Taiyin Human Emperor’s former retreat, Jiang guards Wangxian’s meditation and activates a prepared formation to conceal its manifestations. When Wangxian begins dissolving into the Dao, Jiang repeatedly attempts to awaken him and prepares to seal him even at the risk of drawing the Dao flames onto himself. Wangxian recovers before that intervention becomes necessary 26 27.

Wangxian then grants Jiang a baptism of the myriad paths. After completing his enlightenment, Jiang receives the newly evolved Treasure Wheel and leaves the cavern beside him 28 31.

When Duanmu Yun threatens them, Jiang obeys Wangxian’s command to attack. Using the fully awakened Treasure Wheel, he overwhelms Duanmu’s Saint’s Skull and King Weapons, then blasts him to pieces. Jiang retrieves the surviving Saint’s Skull and nether bamboo before their departure 32 33 34.

Return to Sect Duties

After returning to the sect, Jiang warns Wangxian against cultivating Taiyin and Taiyang together, arguing that either scripture alone could carry him to Dao attainment without the same danger 36 37.

Wangxian later leaves on another journey without Jiang’s protection, taking the Moon Disc while leaving the Treasure Wheel to guard the sect. Jiang remains involved in sect affairs and escorts the Ziwei Divine Dynasty’s visiting envoys out after they deliver Princess Yueshi’s invitation 43 44.

Appearance

• Elderly appearance: His beard is streaked with white 5.
• Powerful aura: After his baptism, observers perceive him as an old man with an unfathomable presence 31.
• Disguised identity: He conceals his appearance during visits to Yang City and his departure from the Taiyin Emperor’s ancient grounds 5 34.

Personality

Jiang treats Li Wangxian’s ambitions seriously rather than dismissing them as childish talk. When Wangxian vows to reclaim Yang City, Jiang answers with unquestioning confidence in his future success 5.

His loyalty combines caution with decisive ruthlessness. He avoids unnecessary exposure, sacrifices a powerful artifact to stop pursuers, and is willing to endanger himself to save Wangxian from Dao transformation. That devotion does not prevent him from opposing choices he considers needlessly dangerous 6 11 27 37.

Wangxian’s extraordinary state at Tianyuan briefly makes Jiang wonder whether he is a reincarnated Saint Emperor. Once reassured that Wangxian remains himself, Jiang accepts the answer without pressing for his secrets 28 31.

Abilities & Skills

Immortal Platform Cultivation

Jiang is one of the Sun God Sect’s strongest remaining cultivators 8 10.

• Carries Li Wangxian across eight hundred li by rainbow flight 5.
• Reaches Yang City far faster than Wangxian can at the Dao Palace level 13.
• Blocks probing divine senses with his divine power 8.
• Identifies a hidden instigator and communicates his position through a spiritual message 24.

Disguise Arts

Jiang uses a mystical transformation art to conceal appearances 5.

• His original technique cannot alter the aura of their origin, leaving their disguises vulnerable to detection 5 6.
• He later uses Wangxian’s improved technique, though he has not fully mastered it 34.
• The awakened Saint Weapon’s aura further conceals him; without a Saint present, observers cannot see through his disguise 34.

Protective Techniques

Jiang employs formations, Dao shouts, and escape tactics to safeguard Wangxian.

• Activates 108 Formation Flags to seal the meditation cavern and hide its initial phenomena 26.
• Uses repeated Dao shouts during Wangxian’s Dao transformation, but cannot awaken him 27.
• Disrupts the void with a delayed artifact detonation, killing pursuers and obstructing coordinate tracing 6.

Saint Weapon Combat

Jiang wields the Treasure Wheel after its evolution into a flawless Saint Weapon 31.

• Defeats Duanmu Yun despite his Saint’s Skull and multiple King Weapons 33.
• Its full awakening is sustained independently by the remaining essence of myriad Daos, not solely by Jiang’s cultivation 33.
• This independently awakened state lasts until the weapon finishes absorbing that essence 33.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Treasure Wheel — Golden, sunlike Saint Weapon entrusted to Jiang by Li Wangxian. Its power is supremely hard and yang, but is not true Sun Saint Power 31.
• Profound Jade Platforms — Void-travel treasures used to escape the Yang City ambush 5 6.
• 108 Formation Flags — Prepared in advance by Wangxian and activated by Jiang to conceal the Tianyuan cavern 26.
• Sacrificed artifact — An unnamed powerful artifact detonated to disrupt the void during their escape 6.
• Saint’s Skull and nether bamboo — Surviving spoils retrieved after Duanmu Yun’s death 34.

Relationships

• Li Wangxian — Young master and protected heir. Jiang supports his ambitions, guards his travels, and receives both the myriad-path baptism and the Treasure Wheel from him 5 13 28 31.
• Li Shenglan — Sect leader and fellow Immortal Platform Second Realm expert. They form the sect’s strongest remaining cultivation force 8 10.
• Elder Lin and Elder Chen — Fellow senior sect members; together they assess Wangxian’s achievements and warn against his dangerous dual-scripture cultivation 8 10 37.
• Duanmu Yun — Taiyin God Sect opponent whom Jiang kills with the Treasure Wheel 32 33.

Notable Quotes

“If it's you, young master, you'll certainly be able to.” 5

“Divine Son, no one since ancient times has ever made it through this path. With your talent, you'll attain the Dao sooner or later by focusing solely on either Taiyin or Taiyang. Why take the risk?” 37

Trivia

• Li Wangxian recalls an original course of events in which Jiang fled with Xiao Tongtong during the Golden Crow Clan’s pursuit until Ye Fan rescued them. This is remembered knowledge, not an event that has occurred in Wangxian’s altered timeline 5 42.
• Wangxian believes the myriad-path baptism may eventually allow Jiang to sever the Dao and become a king; the supplied chapters do not confirm that outcome 28 31.
