As a young seer, Sojourner Ji always saw what future and predictions could occur by relying on his trusty hexagrams. As the Deputy Captain of the Fangshi Guild Elite Guard, he along with Yi learned the art of Tao from sensei Lear. When Lear left to live with the primordial roots in the spirit realm, Ji dedicated his years to bring hope to ones future and aid them on their journeys, giving them predictions to their next achievement. However, Ji was far more than just a fellow seer. His body possessed immunity to poison and sickness, while his age stopped completely. Ji became an immortal being, able to live generation after generation. He saw his friends die to the virus that infected Penglai, and watched as the grotto twisted and changed over time. He was like a god, worthy of being part of the Council. Even Eigong was fascinated, to the point of experimenting with his immortality, to make herself and the Sols immortal beings as well. To Ji however, he wished to end his immortality. He was tired of seeing death, and endured enough loneliness as if. He wanted release. And fortunately, he wasn't invincible. He knew he would be free of his curse the moment he was struck....And now....he can finally rest...

Since Ji died by the end of the fight, I assume his immortality was merely ageless and cannot be affected by any diseases or sickness. However, being physicially and fatally wounded would mean certain death as it would strip away the ability. To be honest, this form of immortality is not too bad, you can die but as long as you're not harmed physically by swords or any types of normal weapons,... (I guess?), you'll live for eternity.

Can we agree that Yi was basically fighting an actual f*cking GOD here?... Ageless, Immortal, lived so long he's basically the Scribe of their whole History, is extremely proficient with all sort of weapons and can conjure BLACK HOLES. Ji is a GOD and now I am laughing at how Yi must have reacted when first experiencing that mentioned black hole, running for dear life in the opposite direction to not get spaghettified in a "shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit-" manner. And the music, THE MUSIC!! Makes me think of what a traditional orchestra plays when trying to portray what Buddha's Congregation when floating down on the Purple Cloud sounds like, like in Pompoko. Actually, all the bosses' music are absolutely awesome but this one does take the cake.

I like that Ji's sudden growth wasn't shown in a horrifying or disgusting way. We see plenty of body horror through various methods, such as refining it purely to fight, or as a way to see the horrors of the mind, or as an infection grows on its host's corpse. But Ji still remains completely normal and in such a refined manner.

@@VietDang-yk1yt It is not really a theory since Eigong already has said that the virus seems to work on a hivemind. Meaning that due to how Fuxi is now basically a rotting corpse, can easily be told by the tianhuo of Yi's plan on New Kunlun. It also brings an interesting fact that perhaps the reason Nuwa was not affected as much by the mutated virus was that it does not see her as a threat, either seeing her still as subservient to her brother or someone able to communicate to other sols with Fuxi being the medium.

I feel like they need to fix the parry hitboxes for the inward ground swipe attack. I can’t ever parry it unless I move close to it, and it registers always as an imperfect parry. I agree to it not being fun. Ji on the other hand was probably the most fun boss fight I’ve had in this game.

The other ones were afflicted with the disease they were trying to find a cure to. So to add to how their bodies are afflicted, the effects of the sickness, having merged with the energy of their old planet and New Kunlan, the bodies produced a Greater Tao Fruit. Because Ji is essentially an immortal, they can't get sick at all. So they just die of old age after being grievously wounded and putting their all into having Yi kill them.
