Background / History

Ji Family Prodigy

Ji Jingtian grew up under Ji Tianming’s ambition to surpass Yuan Changsheng through their sons. Ji Tianming had repeatedly lost to Yuan Changsheng and instructed Jingtian to defeat Yuan Zhexian. The Ji Family’s elders regarded Jingtian’s Void Body as their opportunity to dominate the coming golden age and expected him to take first place in the tablet trials 5 27.

Tablet Trials and Eternal Rankings

Ji Jingtian placed third overall in the tablet trials and was admitted to the Eternal Rankings alongside Yuan Zhexian and Tai’a Qingcheng. He challenged the Taibai Sword Emperor, whose first major clash forced Jingtian back eight steps while the emperor retreated three. Despite the difference, the emperor praised him as someone who could have been his greatest rival in his own era 16 17.

Their final exchange pitted Ji Jingtian’s Void Exile and Void Refining Pot against the emperor’s Fall of the Sword. Jingtian lost, acknowledged his shortcomings, and resolved to enter seclusion to correct them. His name settled at eighty-eighth on the Eternal Rankings 18.

Defeat and Service to Yuan Zhexian

While Yuan Zhexian was in seclusion, Ji Jingtian visited the Yuan Clan to challenge him. Yuan Ruochu fought in Zhexian’s place and lost, although Jingtian was injured and relied on an Emperor weapon to secure victory 24.

At Yuan Zhexian’s coming-of-age banquet, Jingtian again taunted Ruochu before facing Zhexian himself. His spatial attacks, Void Exile, and Void Refining Pot failed to overcome Zhexian, whose punch shattered his technique and severely injured him. Ji Tianming blocked a second, potentially fatal strike. Zhexian then demanded that Jingtian either die or remain as his servant 25 27.

The Ji Family received five days to decide. After its Third Ancestor suffered a devastating backlash while divining the future, the Sixth Ancestor ordered the family to offer submission. Yuan Changsheng instead accepted an alliance, while Yuan Zhexian set Jingtian’s service at one thousand years, after which he could choose whether to stay or leave. Jingtian apologized and pledged undivided loyalty 28.

Soon afterward, his taunts provoked another duel with Yuan Ruochu. This time, Ruochu defeated him using the newly bestowed Six Paths of Samsara Fist 29.

Canyon Secret Realm

Ji Jingtian entered the canyon secret realm with Yuan Zhexian and the Yuan Clan’s ten great sequences. At the lake where Dao Comprehension Tea was appearing, he represented the assembled Yuan Clan members against Ao Xu and a coalition seeking revenge for Zhexian’s killings. He urged his companions to hold out until Zhexian arrived 29 34.

Ao Xu broke his Void Sealing and exploited the weakness of his incompletely mastered Void Body, striking him through several mountains. Despite his injuries, Jingtian opened linked void rifts and pulled the wounded Yuan Clan members out of the attackers’ reach. The effort exceeded his limits, and he collapsed 34.

Yuan Zhexian arrived before the coalition could finish them off. After receiving healing pills, Jingtian recovered sufficiently to rejoin the fighting alongside Yuan Ruochu and the Yu Clan’s divine son 35 36.

Heavenly Billows Realm

Ji Jingtian accompanied Yuan Zhexian, Yuan Ruochu, Yuan Zifeng, and Yuan Yan’er to the Heavenly Billows Realm. He helped assess Lin Yan’s unusual cultivation, agreeing that someone with such poor aptitude must have obtained an extraordinary opportunity 43 44.

During their exploration of the Inner Heaven and Earth, his Void Transformation evaded the peach grove’s attacks, but the subsequent lightning overwhelmed his Void Refining Pot. Yuan Zhexian protected him and Ruochu during their retreat 46.

When Huo Ping and Yi Man attacked to avenge Huo Xing, Jingtian used spatial rifts to prevent Huo Ping from assisting his wife. After Huo Ping raised himself to the ninth stage of the Samsara Realm with a Life-Devouring Saint Pill, Jingtian and Ruochu destroyed his blood dragons and forced him to escape. Both then resolved to enter seclusion and reach the Samsara Realm 47 48.

Appearance

• Handsome face: Described with a broad, taunting smile during his confrontation with Yuan Ruochu 27.
• Void manifestation: His body becomes transparent or flickers in and out of sight when he activates his physique. Its power is frequently accompanied by purple light 5 17 27.

Personality

Ji Jingtian is initially proud and provocative. He boasts about defeating Yuan Ruochu and argues that weapons are legitimate tools of victory rather than grounds for dismissing a win. His confidence also leads him to underestimate Yuan Zhexian 27.

He can nevertheless recognize a clear defeat. After losing to the Taibai Sword Emperor, he respectfully admits his shortcomings and commits to improving them. His competitiveness persists after joining Zhexian: he continues bickering with Ruochu and complains when Ruochu receives a powerful cultivation art while he receives nothing 18 29 47.

His service develops into demonstrated loyalty. When Ao Xu offers to spare him if he abandons the Yuan Clan, Jingtian refuses and risks his life to rescue its wounded members. He also openly expresses admiration for Zhexian’s strength and, later, his ability to win Zhao Zixuan’s affection 34 47.

Abilities & Skills

Void Body and Void Transformation

The fifth-ranked Void Body grants control over void power, including intangibility and the ability to turn attacks or matter into nothingness 5 17.

• Channels void power through physical strikes to attempt to turn an opponent’s body into void 27 34.
• At full development, the physique is said to be capable of turning an entire world into nothingness; Jingtian has not demonstrated this level 5.

• Pulls Yuan Zhexian directly in front of Jingtian for a void-infused punch 27.

• Can be combined with his domain and the Void Refining Pot 18 27.

Void Sealing

Creates a barrier that confines its target 34.

• Temporarily immobilizes Ao Xu’s natal golden dragon 34.

Cross-Realm Combat

• While still in the Dao Body Realm, Jingtian is described as capable of fighting and killing Samsara Realm experts 46.

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Unnamed imperial sword — Drawn during his rematch with Yuan Ruochu, but fails to prevent his defeat 29.
• Locating jade pendant — Provided by Yuan Zhexian before entering the canyon secret realm; allows Jingtian to sense Zhexian approaching the lake 29 34.
