Ji Meng

Biodata

Power Progression

The recorded stages below concern Ji Meng’s avatar rather than Meng Qiewei’s true body. Her available power is also subject to restrictions: permission to draw on her true body’s strength is not guaranteed 445.

Background and History

Meng Qiewei’s Avatar

Meng Qiewei assumes Ji Meng’s appearance and identity through an avatar formed from her power. Qing Dai recognizes the contrast between this youthful, frequently smiling persona and the formidable Eldest Miss she serves 192 248.

The identity gives Meng Qiewei room to behave differently from her true body. Qing Dai wonders whether her mistress has become Ji Meng—or simply become herself after growing up under constant scrutiny as the bearer of the Peerless Heaven’s Chosen Destiny 248.

Teaching Jiang Man

Ji Meng becomes one of Jiang Man’s principal teachers in Formation Arts. She reviews foundational texts for his benefit, lends him the Thirty-Six Hall-Entry Books of Formation Runes, and teaches him how to apply formations rather than merely recognize their runes 217 226 248.

Her assistance extends to the Immortal Dao Coordinates. She warns that Evil Gods may discover Jiang Man within thirty years and recommends finding an Evil God capable of suppressing the die’s aura. She later works with the Coordinates and the Spirit Blossom Immortal Spirit’s Envoy Token to prepare a formation 226 292.

Their lessons also become increasingly personal. Jiang Man brings her gifts, including an ordinary bell chosen for its sound and swords connected to her childhood and father 240 248.

Inner Sect Life and Marriage Disputes

Ji Meng enters the Wuyun Sect’s Inner Sect alongside Jiang Man. Ji Shoumo, Ji Linglong, and Ji Chenfeng arrive to protect them and supervise an intensive training program. Unlike Jiang Man, who objects that the schedule allows too much rest, Ji Meng insists that she still needs sleep 300 301.

Jiang Man’s growing reputation attracts Ji Family direct-line members who want to replace her as his marriage partner. They regard her apparent collateral-branch background as a weakness and plan to pressure her through her relatives. Ji Suyue warns her, while Ji Linglong intervenes against their harassment 390 403.

Jiang Man ultimately confronts the would-be replacements himself. His declaration that he likes Ji Meng herself, regardless of her personality, reaches her through Ji Suyue and leaves her blushing 406 407.

Conflict with the Bai Family Ancestor

The Bai Family Ancestor suspects Ji Meng’s connection to Meng Qiewei and repeatedly tests the pair. During one confrontation, he attacks Jiang Man and Ji Meng in the shaobing shop; all three are taken to the Enforcement Hall and fined ten thousand Spirit Sources each 310 359.

In a later battle, Ji Meng and Qing Dai are cornered after the Ancestor breaks her Great Dream of a Thousand Years and traps them in a formation. Jiang Man intervenes as Drunken Floating Life 377.

Ji Meng’s injuries remain severe afterward because her true body cannot easily heal damage sustained by the avatar. Jiang Man obtains a healing hair ribbon from Ji Hao, and her condition begins improving when she wears it 387.

Wuyou Evil God Confrontation

Ji Meng confronts the Wuyou Evil God over the sea, questions her choices, and dismisses a threat to expose her husband’s identity. She overpowers and destroys the Evil God’s avatar, although her opponent activates a spatial lockdown before disappearing 441.

When Jiang Man later asks about the encounter, Ji Meng describes it simply as having offered a few words of persuasion before the Evil God went home 448.

Extreme Sea and the Bloodline Killing Array

Ji Meng, Jiang Man, and Qing Dai receive transfer orders for a mission connected to the Extreme Sea. Their assignment leads into Sun-Moon Immortal Journey, where the Bai Family Ancestor arranges a trap intended to force Ji Meng’s avatar back 485 487 492.

The excavated Bloodline Killing Array detects her powerful Ji Family bloodline despite her being an avatar. Rather than evade it indefinitely, she enters to investigate the family’s ancient history and the origins of the Nine Surnames and Peerless Heaven’s Chosen Destiny 492 493.

Inside, Jiang Man’s suggestion that the array examine her karma reveals an unexpected advantage: her history of killing Ji Family members earns its support. Nevertheless, the formation’s strongest guardians and bloodline suppression prevent her Ascension Stage avatar from escaping normally 493 494.

At the burial ground, she learns of sacrifices used to awaken seven surnames and identifies the Hundred-Lifetime Lock binding the site. Before dissipating, she leaves her power as coordinates and a threshold, asking Jiang Man to retrieve the location with the Extreme Dao Seal after becoming an immortal. Her remaining power brings the array under her control 494 495.

Later Instruction

Ji Meng later resumes accompanying and teaching Jiang Man. She sells him instruction in the As-You-Wish Seal for five hundred thousand Spirit Sources and is transported with him into an ambush by three True Immortals serving the Water God 557.

Her later guidance includes using formations to help save his hand after contact with a dangerous spring, explaining Dao comprehension, and warning him about the lifespan and foundation costs of rapidly cultivating the Heavenly Origin Seal 564 565 576.

Appearance

Ji Meng has snow-white, translucent skin, black hair with purple-tinted ends, and a youthful face whose innocent smile carries a mischievous edge 192 197.

• Silver bells: Woven into the fine braids at the ends of her hair; their clear chime frequently announces her arrival 192 217.
• Forehead marking: A red floral pattern associated with an injury suffered in childhood 192.
• Eyes and lips: Deep-set brows and eyes, with vivid red lips in her initial description 192.
• Clothing: Often wears pale blue Immortal Skirts, though she also appears in pink outfits with floral embroidery 363 387 482.
• Changing presentation: Regularly varies her hairstyle, ornaments, earrings, and makeup; Jiang Man makes a point of noticing the differences 284 424.

Personality

Ji Meng is warmer, more playful, and more openly youthful than Meng Qiewei’s solemn public presence. She smiles readily, teases Jiang Man’s extravagant claims, and enjoys their exchanges over gifts, meals, and lessons. Her letters gradually acquire a warmth that surprises him when he compares them with his memories of their wedding 248 260 323 549.

She mixes affection with an exacting attitude toward money. Lessons, sparring, pills, and favors often come with a price or an IOU, but she is not indiscriminately demanding: she waives repayment for Teacher Yan’s medical expenses while reminding Jiang Man that his older debts still stand 253 370 492.

Her gentleness does not erase her confidence or ruthlessness. She remains largely untroubled by the direct line’s marriage schemes, tells Jiang Man that her fists genuinely hurt, and carries enough karma from killing Ji Family members to gain recognition from an array built to avenge their victims 390 464 493.

Abilities & Skills

Formation Arts

• Teaches Jiang Man formation structures, flaws, and practical applications 248 367.
• Works on suppressing the Immortal Dao Coordinates using an Evil God’s aura 292.
• Teaches the third and fourth formations of the Mountains and Seas Array Patterns, which can stir the earth’s life force and warp space 462.

Great Dream of a Thousand Years

An innate Divine Ability activated through hand seals, accompanied by changes in the sun, moon, seasons, and cycles of growth and decay 377.

• Her eyes briefly turn blue and red, representing vitality and destruction.
• Draws both Qing Dai and the Bai Family Ancestor into its effect.
• The Ancestor, already prepared for it, breaks the Primordial Spirit-level ability by tearing off and detonating his own arm 377.

• Injures him with a simple palm technique during sparring, despite his attempts to block every strike.
• Explains how qi and blood, spiritual qi, and mental power must work together in Body Arts 253.

Cultivation Knowledge

Ji Meng advises Jiang Man on advanced cultivation, unusual spiritual phenomena, and dangerous inheritances.

• Myriad Things Spirituality: Identifies its benefits for Law Treasures and beast taming, as well as its unpredictable consumption of internal energies and risk of qi deviation 407.
• As-You-Wish Seal: Teaches that its power increases with distance, but its formation remains limited by the user’s spiritual perception 557.
• Dao comprehension: Explains that deeper comprehension can accelerate cultivation and work alongside pills 564.
• Heavenly Origin Seal: Warns that accelerated mastery spends lifespan and damages the foundation; safer cultivation requires accumulated years 576.

Avatar Properties and Restrictions

Ji Meng’s avatar permits Meng Qiewei to act outside her true body, but it has distinct limitations.

• Healing difficulty: Injuries cannot be easily repaired through the true body alone 387.
• Restricted power access: Drawing on the true body’s power requires approval that can be withheld 445.
• Immortal Gate rules: She avoids taking another cultivator’s opportunity because doing so would violate the conditions governing her activity outside 454.
• Bloodline vulnerability: The Bloodline Killing Array recognizes and suppresses her Ji Family bloodline even through the avatar 492 494.
• Residual control: On dissipating, she can leave power behind as coordinates and exert control over the killing array 494 495.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Silver bells — Her signature hair ornaments. Jiang Man gives her an additional ordinary bell selected for its pleasing sound 192 248.

Relationships

• Jiang Man — Husband, student, frequent debtor, and companion. Their publicly tentative courtship conceals an existing marriage; he explicitly rejects replacing her with another Ji Family marriage partner 323 406 493.
