Ji Yao is first mentioned as the missing 3rd Elder of Star Boundary's Ice Heart Valley. Having been missing for 3,000 years, she is eventually found by Yang Kai in the Ancient Wild Lands of the Eastern Territory while in a delirious state. After being safely returned to Ice Heart Valley and regaining her senses, Ji Yao quickly falls in love with an eventually reciprocating Yang Kai.

## Appearance

Ji Yao is described as a beautiful woman with a well developed figure.

## Personality

When sane, Ji Yao has an outwardly temperate personality that covers an aggressive and daring side. This side comes out when she is around Yang Kai.

## Background

A powerful 2nd Order Emperor Realm cultivator upon meeting Yang Kai, Ji Yao is clearly a person of outstanding aptitude and skill. Even in a delirious state, she survived in the extremely dangerous Ancient Wild Lands for at least 10 years without any risk of life. After regaining her senses, Ji Yao further displays her impressive combat ability, with Yang Kai even entrusting Su Yan to study under her at one point.

## Past

As with several Ice Heart Valley members, Ji Yao was an orphan girl who was found and raised by Bing Yun as her 3rd personal disciple.

## History

### Ancient Wild Lands

Yang Kai runs into a disheveled, delirious 2nd Order Emperor Realm woman in the Ancient Wild Lands. After witnessing the mad woman's use of a powerful Ice Technique, Yang Kai correctly deduces that she is the missing 3rd disciple of Bing Yun he had heard about back in Ice Heart Valley. Yang Kai then proceeds to chase the mad woman around the Ancient Wild Lands for several days, and even enlists one of the Monster Kings he had enslaved with a Divine Soul Brand to help him in finding and collecting her. Unfortunately, due in large part to her outstanding strength, all attempts are unsuccessful.

Later, when Yang Kai tries to siege the Blood Gate of the Ancient Wild Lands, Ji Yao stays beside Zhang Ruo Xi, whom had been following Yang Kai to the siege without his permission. After Zhang Ruo Xi's bloodline of Heaven's Order awakens and she enters the Blood Gate, Yang Kai confronts a befuddled Ji Yao and mentions her Ice Heart Valley discipline. Ji Yao, mentally confused, suddenly confuses Yang Kai for Bing Yun, and obediently follows him. In Luan Feng's Palace, Ji Yao is separated from Yang Kai when he sends her off with maids in order to take a bath. Ji Yao plays pranks on them instead of cleaning herself, and they are eventually forced to bring in Yang Kai in order to find her. Ji Yao reveals herself completely naked to Yang Kai, making him feel extremely guilty for the misunderstanding.

### Return to Ice Heart Valley

Ji Yao follows Yang Kai obediently back to Northern Territory, where they learn from rescuing a former Ice Heart Valley disciple that the Sect is being suppressed in a war with Seeking Passion Sect due to withholding information on Yang Kai, who recently killed the Seeking Passion Sect's Young Master in Shattered Star Sea. Shortly before returning to Ice Heart Valley, Yang Kai tells Ji Yao he hopes she understands his actions if she ever finds out he deceived her. Upon returning to the real Bing Yun, Ji Yao is momentarily confused before finally realizing Yang Kai is someone else. Having fully recuperated her mind, Ji Yao further cooperates with Yang Kai and the other members of Ice Heart Valley to eventually destroy Seeking Passion Sect. This included helping Yang Kai to capture Nanmen Da Jun, who was hired to help destroy the Ice Heart Valley Sect Protecting Array. After the war, she proceeds to help Yang Kai in setting up High Heaven Palace.

To Yang Kai's surprise, Ji Yao doesn't seem to dislike him, and even visits High Heaven Palace regularly to try and meet with him, even when he is away for months at a time. When Yang Kai visits Ice Heart Valley with Zhu Qing, Ji Yao does not mask her jealousy to see another female with him. She even acts aggressively for the first time towards a confused Yang Kai in front of an amused Bing Yun, whom of course knows all too well why her disciple is acting this way.

Later, when Yang Kai comes to Ice Heart Valley to introduce Su Yan to Bing Yun for training, Ji Yao is in the room by her side. When she finds out Su Yan is Yang Kai's wife she first appears shocked, but quickly recovers before offering to help Bing Yun in teaching Su Yan as a Senior Sister. Bing Yun allows it, and Ji Yao proceeds to help Yang Kai to select some Cultivation Techniques for High Heaven Palace. During their time in the library, Ji Yao aggressively comes on to Yang Kai, and they end up kissing passionately. Ji Yao forbids Yang Kai from revealing anything to Bing Yun after he offers to talk to her, and insists on keeping their relationship a secret.

### Demon War

During the Demon War, after many similar encounters, Ji Yao is with Su Yan and Bing Yun when Yang Kai comes to see them as the Armies are stationed outside of the Two World's Passage during their preparation to invade Demon Realm. Su Yan and Bing Yun, who are clearly already aware of her affection for Yang Kai, and secretly approving, find an excuse to disappear so that Ji Yao can have some time alone with him. Though embarrassed by this, an exceedingly stubborn Ji Yao almost has sex with Yang Kai but is interrupted by an annoyed and recently betrothed Yu Ru Meng, who is now allied with the Great Emperors of Star Boundary.

After the final battle of Star Boundary, in which Mo Sheng is killed, Yang Kai, as the Void Great Emperor, eventually departs from a now dying Star Boundary in order to search for a World Tree.

### Void Land

Decades later, Yang Kai returns to plant a World Tree Subtree in Star Boundary. During this time, Yu Ru Meng and Su Yan would eventually force Yang Kai to acknowledge Ji Yao as a wife, and they go to Ice Heart Valley to get official permission from Bing Yun. From then on Ji Yao was added to Yang Kai's unofficial wives. Ji Yao would then follow along with the rest of Yang Kai's wives to Void Land.

Later, as a straight promote 6th Rank Open Heaven Realm talent, Ji Yao becomes the Core Disciple of an 8th Rank Open Heaven Realm Ancestor of Great Battle Heaven known as the Thunderstorm Divine Monarch. This would be part of a series of marriage alliances Yang Kai forms with some of the 36 Cave Heavens and 72 Paradises in order to protect Void Land and High Heaven Palace while he is away on Ink Battlefield. During this wedding ceremony, Yang Kai officially marries Ji Yao, Xia Ning Chang, Xue Yue, Yu Ru Meng, Qu Hua Chang, and Tao Ling Wan, and is heavily implied to make love with them each over the course of the event. Ji Yao, along with the other wives, later sends a letter to Yang Kai while the latter is on Ink Battlefield.

### Spatial Territory

Ji Yao and the other wives, all having reached 7th Rank Open Heaven Realm or its equivalent, would be ordered by the 36 Cave Heavens and 72 Paradises to help, along with all the other 2nd Class Influences, in keeping the Ink Clan from breaking through the Spatial Territory into the 3,000 Worlds. Placed under the protection of Yin-Yang Heaven's Smiles Old Ancestor, Yang Kai's wives would prove to be capable of collectively contending with a Territory Lord. Eventually, Su Yan gets an induction with Yang Kai through her Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art, and the wives are ecstatic to learn he is still alive. Yu Ru Meng, as a de-facto leader among the wives, orders them all to immediately head towards him. However, before they could meet with him again, Yang Kai returned to Ink Battlefield in order to seal the gate between No-Return Pass and the Spatial Territory.

### Mysterious Nether Army

Riding on their own unique and extremely protective battleship, which is actually a 7th Rank equivalent clone of Bi Xi, Ji Yao and the other wives would finally see Yang Kai again when the latter miraculously rescues the Mysterious Nether Army from imminent defeat by the Ink Clan. At first shying away from warmly greeting Yang Kai due to Yu Ru Meng's anger over his 1,000 year abandonment, the wives eventually warm up to the former when he convincingly exaggerates the extent of his injuries. Eventually, Yang Kai is named Army Commander of the Mysterious Nether Army, placing all of his wives, except for the Star Boundary stationed Xia Ning Chang, under his direct command along with millions of Human Race/Divine Spirit Allied Forces. During his relatively limited free time, Yang Kai stays with his wives in his own temporary Palace, with no one daring to say anything about it.

In his first action as Army Commander, Yang Kai leads a relatively small force to Yearning Territory in order to rescue some Human Race wanderers and independent strike teams that are hiding out within a Universe Cave Heaven. His 8 wives accompany him on this endeavor, and they actually manage to help Yang Kai kill a powerful innate Territory Lord. After the mission is successfully completed, Yang Kai's wives eventually make their return to Mysterious Nether Territory. Over the course of the ensuing war, Ji Yao and the others wives all reach the 8th Rank Open Heaven Realm or its equivalent with the exception of Tao Ling Wan.

### Withdrawing Ink Army

Later, after Yang Kai forces the Ink Clan into a temporary treaty during the 3,000 Worlds War, Ji Yao and his other wives, except for Xia Ning Chang, are selected as participants in the elite-saturated Withdrawing Ink Army, whose extremely dangerous mission is to guard the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction in which Ink's true body is sealed. Over the next couple thousand years, they help to whittle down the Ink forces building up within the restriction with the aid of a powerful Artifact known as the Withdrawing Ink Platform.

However, around the time the 3,000 Worlds are recaptured by the now 9th Rank Open Heaven Realm Yang Kai and other Human Race forces, Ink’s true body starts to stir from its slumber within the restriction. Wu Kuang, as the current master of the now rapidly expanding restriction, is then forced to take the entire Withdrawing Ink Army into a safe and separate space for preservation. Here, Ji Yao and the other wives manage to safely await Yang Kai’s return to the restriction with news of the recapturing of the 3,000 Worlds and No-Return Pass.
