World Characteristics
Will of Heaven and Earth
The realm’s Will of Heaven and Earth can take the form of a Lu Wu Divine Beast with a tiger’s body, a human head, and nine tails 673.
- The Will controls when the Lu Wu Secret Realm opens and announced that its resources could be exchanged for Merit during the Interface War 665.
- During the convergence of the three realms, the Lu Wu and Qiongqi Wills initially joined forces against the Nine Phoenix Will 673.
- After the conquest of the other two realms, the Lu Wu Divine Beast defeated their weakened Wills, allowing its realm to begin absorbing them 957.
Cultivation and Resources
- World limit: Before the realms converged, native beings could reach the peak of Mid Sage Manifestation; those who exceeded it were rejected by the world and forced to ascend. After convergence, advancement to Late Sage Manifestation became possible 581 676.
- Spirit Veins: Artificially promoted veins normally stopped at Fifth-Tier Upper Grade. Sixth-Tier veins generally required natural nurturing or exceptional circumstances, such as resources plundered during a realm war 499.
- Stars: According to legend, the stars are projections of other worlds’ power. Cultivators have drawn insights from them to create Law Techniques, Divine Abilities, and Cultivation Methods 12.
Secret Realms
Heaven and Earth Secret Realms depend on the Lu Wu Realm but possess considerable independence. They can provide their owners with defensible retreats; the Demon Sea had the realm’s densest concentration of them 235.
The Lu Wu Secret Realm, the realm’s greatest secret realm, lies closest to its origin. Although classified as Profound Grade, it has reached half-step Earth Grade and contains abundant Sixth-Tier resources, including Origin Crystals used in Sage Manifestation Pills. Its opening has no fixed schedule 665.
Peoples and Powers
- Human Race — The dominant race at the time of the Alliance Conference. Its major powers included the Four Great Empires and Three Great Sacred Lands of the Eastern Continent 662.
- Demon Race — The most numerous race, found across mountains, wilderness, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Rivalries among its members prevented its unification 89.
- Barbarian Tribe — A tribal people particularly suited to Body Cultivation. Barbarian Lord Bayu led its largest tribe at the time of the Alliance Conference 80 662.
- Spirit Tribe — Divided into branches across the realm, including the Earth and Wood Spirit Tribes of the Savage Wilderness and the Water Spirit Clan of the Chaotic Sea 662.
- Sea Beasts — Possessed more Sage Manifestation powerhouses than any other clan, but their long periods of sleep and lack of communal organization limited their unity 644.
- Spiritvoid Pavilion — A neutral commercial association with members from many races. Its territory on Four Symbols Island was chosen as the Alliance headquarters 659.
History
Origin and Ancient Calamity
The Lu Wu Realm formed from the corpse of a Lu Wu Divine Beast that died fighting a Demon God. The Demon God gradually recovered and, more than a hundred thousand years later, attacked the realm in an attempt to consume it 804.
White Sky Heavenly Lord led the realm’s peoples against the Heavenly Demon and his Devil Race armies in a sixty-year war. He used the realm’s origin to establish the Supreme Thunder Formation and seal the demon. The formation transformed the northern region into the present-day Frostthunder Region; maintaining the seal continued to consume vast amounts of the world’s origin 404 804.
War with the Azure Bird Realm
About 300,000 years before the later Interface War, the Lu Wu Realm fought the neighboring Azure Bird Realm for more than 800 years. Neither side won before the realms separated, but 60 percent of Lu Wu’s Sacred Lands were destroyed and its races lost 70 percent of their populations. Some Azure Bird beings remained behind; their descendants included the Thunderbird Clan of the Chaotic Sea 657 658.
Northern River Conflict and Warnings
The Six Desires Red Dust Sect invaded the Northern River Region, prompting its sects to mobilize. The Ten Great Demon Sects later withdrew from the region at heavy cost. Around that time, Lin Yingyue used a damaged Compass to set spatial currents and Space-Time Tides across the realm in motion 72 348 349.
Diviners subsequently warned of a realm war. At Azure Sky Lake, seven Sage Manifestation experts agreed to preserve their strongest fighters while allowing conflicts below Sage Manifestation to continue 500.
Interface War
The realm’s factions established the Lu Wu Realm Alliance and chose neutral Four Symbols Island for its headquarters. The Alliance organized the Lu Wu Army, a shared treasury and Merit system, and six regional war zones 658 659 665.
When the Lu Wu, Nine Phoenix, and Qiongqi realms converged, Realm Gates opened between them. The Lu Wu and Qiongqi sides cooperated against the stronger Nine Phoenix Realm, while the Alliance’s Armillary Sphere tracked gates, battles, Merit, and communications 674 679 681.
- Mo Province fell to the Divine Wind Clan after its defenders were attacked from both outside and within 694.
- Lu Wu counterattacked through Realm Gates, winning a major battle near the Purple Moon Archipelago and occupying more than thirty newly formed World Interstices 710 713.
- A later Nine Phoenix offensive obscured the Armillary Sphere and struck across more than eight hundred gates. Thirteen Province-Level Powers were destroyed and hundreds of millions of mortals killed in one day 890.
- Old Man Zhui Dao drove Nine Phoenix forces back after the True Martial War, giving Lu Wu the advantage. Subsequent fighting remained costly, but Nine Phoenix leaders eventually rejected another attack after defeat outside a Realm Gate 919 936 949.
Absorption of the Other Realms
After the Nine Phoenix and Qiongqi realms were conquered, Yang Tianyou led the Yang Household in a sacrifice that won Heaven’s Mandate. At his request, the Lu Wu Realm began devouring both defeated realms. Its expanding heavens and earth produced Spirit Veins and bestowed Heavenly Dao merit on its cultivators 957.
