Biodata

Power Progression

Background and History

Ji An was formerly Qie Qiong. After a failed skydive, he was reborn as Ji Yichuan and Yuchi Xue’s elder son, retaining his memories. His younger twin brother, Ji Ning, also retained memories from a previous life 98 101 148.

Although Ji An appeared physically weaker than Ji Ning as a child, the Gold Origin Fruit had been changing his constitution at a deeper level. At four, the brothers asked to begin Godfiend Body Refining and chose the Crimsonbright Nine Heavens Diagram 98 99.

After reaching Xiantian at eight, Ji An left home to gain experience. He slew the Winged Serpent and found the Water Manor in its lair, where he gained treasures, visualization methods, and divine abilities 102 104 106 114.

Appearance

Ji An grows into a tall, slender young man with handsome features. By the time he reached Xiantian, his body refinement had made him much taller than Ji Ning 101 138 157.

• His appearance resembles that of his previous life 101.
• He has worn silver-gold robes 125 138.
• His Thunder God Eye manifests as a vertical eye between his brows 132.

Personality

Ji An appears gentle and composed, but his father recognizes a ruthless streak and a strong drive to advance. He favors an aggressive sword path, choosing the Thunderfire Sword Fragment despite its lack of defensive moves and his parents’ warnings 101.

He values freedom and repeatedly refuses offers of service under powerful patrons, including Northmont Fox, Northmont Yin, and Northmont Blacktiger. He can also conceal his intentions: he cooperated with Jinchenzi against the Azure-Scaled King while privately suspecting him 120 128 132 148.

Ji An is protective of his family and invests heavily in the Ji Clan’s security. His care does not prevent him from acting harshly against those who harmed them 139 146 154.

Abilities and Skills

Swordsmanship and Dao

Ji An combines sword techniques with several Dao insights, using sharpness, thunderfire, speed, and spatial movement in close combat 113.

Story Role and Major Arcs

Water Manor and Family Feud

Ji An entered Star-Seizing Manor after slaying the Winged Serpent. He cleared trials, acquired techniques and treasures, and declined the first divine ability so that Ji Ning could pursue it instead 104 106 114.

After learning of Yuchi Xue’s injury and Yuchi Shan’s death, he promised to help his mother and confront those responsible. He later defeated Daoist Xueyu, captured Hanyang, and brought Hanyang and three accomplices before his parents. Yuchi Xue recovered, and Ji An destroyed the four enemies’ souls 108 137 139.

Yinglong Guard and Anchan City

Ji An traveled to Anchan City and joined the Yinglong Guard. He arranged protection for the land around Myriad Swords City, undertook hunts for merit, and eventually exchanged 10,000 merit points for the Golden Origin Scripture 116 122 123 134.

His growing reputation drew recruitment attempts from the Northmont Clan. After he refused Northmont Yin, the Dark Fiend Guard pursued him; Ji An later killed its commander Mo Sun during the battle at Withered Bone Mountain 132 134.

Strengthening the Ji Clan

Ji An left a clone to guard the clan and supplied it with treasures and nine sets of core inheritances. He later subdued Zhu Yan and stationed him at the West Prefecture, while commissioning a formation that tripled Yan Mountain’s essence energy 146 152 154.

During the following nine years, Ji An continued cultivating and taking Yinglong Guard missions. Killing the Blood God Church’s seven great Dharma Kings helped make him famous and brought him to the rank of four-clawed guard 157 158.
