Jiutian Xuannü has the ability to magically conceal the body and her power is exercised through the Six Ding Jade Maidens () who are her acolytes. According to the "Lingbao Liuding Mifa", the Jade Maidens perform specific tasks during the concealment: the Jade Maiden of Dingmao () conceals one's physical body, the Jade Maiden of Dingsi () conceals one's destiny, the Jade Maiden of Dinghai () conceals one's fortune, the Jade Maiden of Dingyou () conceals one's hun soul, the Jade Maiden of Dingwei () conceals one's po soul, and the Jade Maiden of Dingchou () conceals one's spirit. Achieving invisibility is seen as a military strategy to defeat enemies and protect the state, as the text claims that practitioners must first learn to conceal their bodies if they hope to expel evil and return to righteousness. The goddess and the six maidens together represent the yin force in the universe, which is believed to directly result in the concealment of the body, linking their magic of invisibility with their femininity.
