Biodata

Power Progression

Organization and Leadership

Governing Hierarchy

The previous Dao Son had become a household head above all four patriarchs. His unexpected death left the household under collective branch rule until Ji Shanhai’s emergence 676.

Four Branch Patriarchs

Clan Generations and Status

• Generational designations: The four most recent generations used Qing, Shan, Yi, and Zai. Ji Shanhai belonged to the generation younger than the Qing cultivators he surpassed 633.
• Minor Gathering: A privilege of each Dao Child, convening the household’s juniors. Ji Shanhai’s gathering brought together thirty-five thousand Qing-generation cultivators and was presided over by a Supreme 631 633.
• Birth-based privilege: Ji Qingyang, a Dao Integration cultivator from a concubine-born line of the fourth branch, received deference even from Tribulation Transcendence cultivators 630.
• Personal-guard selection: Even descendants of Mahayana cultivators had to undergo selection to serve the Dao Child 620.
• Ji Qingfang: A fourth-branch principal-lineage prodigy reputed to have the household’s fastest cultivation progress, reaching Void Return at just over two hundred years old 633.
• Four first-branch scions: Ji Qingri, Ji Qingyue, Ji Qingxing, and Ji Qingchen could confront Dao Integration cultivators at Void Return. Rumors credited their combined strength with killing a Tribulation Transcendence Perfection cultivator 633.

Territory, Facilities, and Resources

History

Ancestor Wan’s Conquests

After achieving success in cultivation, Ji Wan led the household on a campaign that incorporated more than half a star domain. She named it the Jichen Star Domain, explaining that “Chen” commemorated someone 697.

Before the immortal path was severed, many Ji Household cultivators ascended. Bone Mountain Supreme later cited the treasures left by these ancestors as a possible explanation for the household’s exceptional resources, while privately suspecting a deeper connection to the upper realm 640.

Destruction of Great Jin and Suppression of Dragon Fate

The Ji Household destroyed Great Jin, a dynasty ruled by the Dragon Fate bearer Li Taixuan and counted among Jichen’s four Supreme powers. It summoned an Immortal Method that manifested a palm and slaughtered Great Jin’s three Supremes and numerous powerful cultivators 587 608.

Bone Mountain Supreme stated that the household could no longer invoke that method after the upheaval ten thousand years earlier. Nevertheless, its hostility toward Dragon Fate remained severe enough that he concealed Lu Li’s nature and hurriedly ended the Immortal Seed Battle to limit the risk of exposure 586 587.

The Immortal-Clan Project

The household betrayed the upper realm’s immortal sect, seized the Jade Capital Immortal Palace’s restrictions, and eliminated Dragon Fate bearers to damage humanity’s providence and sever contact with Jade Capital. This obstructed the clandestine ascension route on which Imprisoned Dragon’s cultivators depended 698.

Its objective was to establish an immortal clan inside the palace rather than rely on ordinary ascension. Using Supreme bloodlines and the palace’s immortal environment, it produced Ji Shanhai as a grotto-heaven being whose aptitude exceeded that of ordinary middle-world cultivators 689 701.

The planned clan would reproduce within the palace while expelling descendants of poor aptitude to the outside household. The separation between realms would prevent those exiles from sharing the inner clan’s bloodlines and fortune. Ji Shanhai intended to reduce the household remaining in Imprisoned Dragon to slave dependents 689.

Ye Chenfeng’s Infiltration

After being stranded in the Jichen Star Domain, Ye Chenfeng spent thirty years in the Combat Hall before Ji Shanhai selected him for his personal guard. His attempts to locate a route home revealed how little the household’s records disclosed about its connection to the Eastern Wasteland 629 633.

Using the Instantaneous Scroll, Ye Chenfeng and Suanni stole ninth-tier resources and entered the ancestral shrine’s secret realm. Recognizing its importance to the household, Ye Chenfeng deliberately cultivated there to drain its foundations and indirectly aid Lu Li 674 675.

Ji Shanhai discovered evidence of an intruder and alerted Ji Cangtian. The patriarch treated the breach as a threat to the household’s future and recalled the other Supremes to guard the secret realm 677.

Expansion and Exposure

The household committed its forces to conquering the Ten Thousand Demons Star Domain. After consolidating it, the four patriarchs gathered 11,118 Mayfly Abominations for a sacrificial divination using the immortal palace. Their targets were the unidentified intruder and the realm’s Dragon Fate bearer 674 681.

The divination exposed Lu Li shortly before his Mahayana breakthrough. The accompanying manifestation of the Jade Capital Immortal Palace led Bone Mountain Supreme and his allies to deduce that the household had seized it and obstructed contact with the upper realm 684 685.

Ji Cangtian subsequently assembled the household’s forces to eliminate Lu Li as an Emperor Fate bearer. He warned Ji Shanhai that flourishing human providence could allow the upper realm’s great clans to reconnect with Imprisoned Dragon and destroy their project 689 691.

Defeat and Aftermath

Lu Li’s fleet opened the war by bombarding the household’s five hundred Mahayana cultivators, killing or wounding nearly a hundred. While his Supreme allies engaged its leaders, Lu Li teleported to the continental defenses and shattered the pseudo-immortal formation with Eternal Sinking Finger in three breaths 691 692.

Ji Shanhai fought with strength surpassing Ji Cangtian’s and attempted to command the Jade Capital Immortal Palace. The household also received direct support from Heavenly Firmament Supreme, but he was killed during the battle 693 695.

Ye Chenfeng killed the gravely wounded Ji Shanhai. Ji Cangsheng and Ji Cangdao died attempting to escape, while Ji Cangtian was captured and subsequently killed after Ye Chenfeng searched his soul. The remaining Mahayana cultivators received condemned-slave brands; the household’s tens of millions of clansmen and billion-plus subordinate beings were sentenced to hard labor 698.

Lu Li recovered the household’s records and learned the details of its grotto-heaven breeding project. Great Xia later used captured Ji Household resources to expand starship production 701 704.
