Background / History

Ruler of Azure Water Manor

Jiao Sha ruled the Azure Water Sea, a thirty-thousand-li territory at the outermost edge of the Overseas Cultivation World. His forces comprised one hundred thousand sea demons and eight Nascent Soul elders. During nearly a millennium of occupation, he accumulated spirit stones, herbs, weapons, and rare natural treasures 54 56.

His confrontation with Qin Chen followed the death of the Green-Scaled Demon General, one of his elders, whom Jiao Sha called his “second brother.” He assembled his remaining seven elders and his army outside the manor, demanding revenge and threatening to burn Qin Chen’s soul as a sky lantern 54.

Submission and the Star Pavilion

Qin Chen killed all seven remaining elders with one punch. Jiao Sha attacked in fury, but Qin Chen stepped onto his head and pinned him in a crater on the seabed. Jiao Sha initially refused to submit to a human, invoking the nobility of his flood-dragon bloodline 55.

Xiaobai’s super-divine-beast aura broke his resistance by suppressing his bloodline and leaving him unable to muster demonic power. Jiao Sha assumed human form, knelt, and offered his life-bound soul essence blood. Qin Chen accepted it and bestowed the first three levels of the Dragon Transformation Art, promising the possibility of eventually becoming a true dragon through loyal service 55.

After Qin Chen renamed Azure Water Manor the Star Pavilion, Jiao Sha represented its sea-demon contingent, while Lin Xuan represented the newly joined human cultivators. Jiao Sha surrendered his treasury inventory and was subsequently entrusted, alongside Lin Xuan, with distributing the remaining resources as rewards to strengthen the faction 55 56.

Expansion into the Surrounding Seas

Jiao Sha supplied intelligence on the Blood Shark Cave, Illusory Sea Mirage Pavilion, Dark Nether Island, and Azure Abyss Prefecture. He accompanied Qin Chen’s campaign against these powers and confronted Gui Qianshou, whose tortoise-shell defenses he had previously failed to penetrate in three separate battles 56 57.

The Azure Abyss Prefect’s projection immobilized him with its pressure. After Qin Chen destroyed it, Jiao Sha opened Gui Qianshou’s treasury and took responsibility for the treasures Qin Chen left behind. He was initially terrified by the decision to attack Azure Abyss Prefecture itself 57 58.

Following Qingyuan’s surrender, Jiao Sha proclaimed the prefecture’s incorporation into the Star Pavilion and demanded its treasury key from Gui Wannian. Qin Chen then assigned him and Qingyuan to administer the conquered territory and investigate the factions, strength, and resources within the surrounding million li during his seclusion 61 62.

Sea God’s Tomb and Later Campaigns

After Qin Chen emerged from a year of seclusion, Jiao Sha accompanied him to confront the Shark King at the Soul-Breaking Trench. He subsequently entered the newly exposed Sea God’s Tomb with Qin Chen, Qingyuan, and the subdued Shark King 63 64.

Inside the tomb, Jiao Sha fought its combat puppets in his true form but suffered wounds before Qin Chen destroyed them. He then refined a share of the remaining Sea God Marrow. In the Thunderfall Secret Realm beyond the tomb, the hundredfold gravity initially crushed him and the other followers to the ground; he later watched Qin Chen fight the Three-Headed Thunder Qilin from behind a distant boulder 65 66.

Jiao Sha joined Qingyuan and the Shark King in conquering demonic-beast factions within a million li. Their advance ended in defeat at the hands of the Blood Fiend Ancestor, leaving Jiao Sha unconscious and carried over the Shark King’s shoulder. Qin Chen healed the three with Nine-Turn Great Restoration Pills, after which Jiao Sha accompanied him to the ancestor’s lair 67 68.

Appearance

• Flood-dragon form: Over one hundred zhang long, with black scales, two thick whiskers, dragon horns, and scarlet eyes with slit pupils 54 55.
• Human form: A burly man dressed in black robes 55.
• Voice: His speech in dragon form resembles rolling thunder and churns the surrounding seawater 54.

Personality

Jiao Sha is initially proud of his flood-dragon ancestry and openly contemptuous of submitting to a human. Lin Xuan describes him as fiercely protective of his own and vengeful over even minor grievances; his reaction to the Green-Scaled Demon General’s death supports that reputation 54 55.

After submitting, he becomes deferential and lavishly flattering toward Qin Chen. His allegiance combines awe of superior bloodlines with recognition of the opportunities Qin Chen offers: better cultivation, valuable resources, and the possibility of becoming a true dragon. He also admits that searching for natural treasures is a favorite pastime 55 56.

His confidence often depends on Qin Chen’s presence. He fears the Azure Abyss Prefect’s power, yet swaggeringly asserts the Star Pavilion’s authority once that prefect has surrendered. Nevertheless, he joins dangerous battles to protect Qin Chen and eagerly participates in the faction’s expansion 58 61 65 67.
