Profound Yellow World

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

The Profound Yellow World may have been created by the first Profound Yellow Celestial Venerable, an existence distinct from the later Profound Heaven King. Its creator seemingly left behind the office of Profound Yellow Celestial Venerable, granting a selected inheritor substantial control over the Heavenly Dao and the world’s central functions. The world’s core remained the ancient Profound Yellow Main World even after it annexed other realms. 1083 1084

After the collapse of the ascension passage, the Profound Heaven King discovered that the world was being drawn toward an incomprehensible force in the Void. He unified the world under the Profound Heaven Sect and constructed the Floating Starry Sky Formation, which captured surrounding Grotto-Heavens and Small Worlds for resources while slowing the world’s drift. The Celestial Capital Grand Master later incited a rebellion against this order, altering the course of the world’s history. 905

Over time, the world became a patchwork of its original territory, worlds seized through the Floating Starry Sky Formation, and black-colored remnants forcibly stitched together after later calamities. Unintegrated laws from devoured remnants persisted as Anomalies. 1263 1322

The world possesses an instinctive self-preservation mechanism: when extinction approaches, its Heavenly Dao can produce extreme World Extinction Transformations. These transformations are aggressive and destructive adaptations that push individual aspects of Heaven and Earth to an extreme. 1114 1320

Heavenly Dao and World Structure

• Profound Yellow Heavenly Dao — The world’s governing consciousness and law system. It can operate independently under rules left by former Profound Yellow Celestial Venerables. 1083
• Profound Yellow Heart — A hypothesized central control point for the world; inheriting it may permit one to assume the duties of the Profound Yellow Celestial Venerable. 1083
• Heaven and Earth Root — The world’s origin and the final known sub-formation of the Floating Starry Sky Formation. Artificial imprints within it once guided the conception of Five Elements Grotto-Heavens. 1324
• Illusory counterpart — The physical Profound Yellow World has a corresponding illusory world. 1082
• World Protection Array — Li Fan theorized that the world’s periphery contains an Upper-Realm-built protection array; its World Splitting gaps and the Floating Starry Sky Formation may be connected to this structure. 1275

Characteristics

Assimilation and Growth

The world can absorb Grotto-Heavens, Small Worlds, remnant worlds, and Immortal Artifacts. Initial annexation could resemble crude “flesh and blood stitching,” but Immortal Spiritual Energy enabled more efficient assimilation of foreign Source Power and previously dormant world power. 1310

• Absorption leaves behind Anomalies when foreign laws fail to integrate fully. 1322
• The world can incorporate Immortal Artifacts and create unusual life forms from the process. 1405
• Its vitality and recovery accelerate when cultivators return their Dao to Heaven after death. 1403
• Its natural laws can materialize rare items and Heaven and Earth Spirits. 1322

World Extinction Transformations

When facing destruction, the Profound Yellow Heavenly Dao instinctively evolves extreme survival responses. 1114 1320

• Profound Yellow Birth and Death Transformation — A cycle of destruction and concealed vitality observed after Crimson Flame burned the sea and transformed the Azure Sea into a valley. 1114
• Heaven and Earth Thermal Death, Myriad Things Frozen — An ice-oriented transformation at least comparable to ordinary Heaven and Earth Spirits. 1320
• Living-being extermination transformation — In an especially desperate state, the world can seek survival by exterminating all life within itself and absorbing flesh and Divine Souls as fuel. 1325
• Holders of World Extinction Transformations provoke the Heavenly Dao’s instinctive wariness. 1320

Heavenly Dao Favor and Authority

The world grants favor and cooperation to beings that repair, nourish, or advance it, while reacting negatively to threats and destabilizing transformations. 1320 1403

• Returning the Profound Yellow Evil Thought repaired a deficiency in the Heavenly Dao and triggered revival. 1322
• Shangren Yin was gradually incorporated into its natural operation as a Remnant World Netherworld. 1322
• Nameless, appointed Profound Yellow Great Celestial Venerable, could harmonize with the world as a mortal; Heaven and Earth actively shortened distances and answered his movements. 1403
• During its ascension crisis, the world granted Li Fan authority exceeding that of the Profound Yellow Great Celestial Venerable in exchange for rescue. 1413

Major Events

• Profound Heaven Sect unification — The Profound Heaven King and Twelve Dharma Kings united the world to build the Floating Starry Sky Formation against an existential Void threat. 905
• Formation-driven expansion — The world captured and annexed other Cultivation Worlds, Grotto-Heavens, and Small Worlds. 905 1263
• Return of the Evil Thought — Li Fan and his allies purified and returned the Profound Yellow Evil Thought, restoring an incomplete part of the Heavenly Dao. 1319 1322
• Heaven and Earth Root intervention — Li Fan destroyed One Beginning Sect imprints that drained world power by creating new Five Elements Grotto-Heavens. 1324
• First sublimation attempt — The world evolved toward Immortal Territory but failed to withstand Dao Annihilation Black Qi, collapsing during its ascent. 1410
• Successful Ascension — Li Fan arranged a second ascent, used the crisis to obtain authority, and prevented the world’s fall. 1413
• Great-elixir refinement — Li Fan began refining the ascended world into a replica of the Immortal Realm. 1567
• Darkest Star Sea expansion — After a century of nourishment with Li Fan’s Essence Blood, the Profound Yellow Immortal Realm expanded to encompass the entire Darkest Star Sea. 1569

Relationships

• Profound Yellow Heavenly Dao — The world’s consciousness and governing law system; initially incomplete after a portion of its will was separated, then repaired by the return of the Evil Thought. 1322
• Profound Yellow Celestial Venerable — A selected office capable of exercising broad authority over the Heavenly Dao; former holders likely included the Profound Heaven King and Mister Bai. 1083
• Profound Heaven King — Unified the world and established the Floating Starry Sky Formation to save it from a Void-borne attraction. 905
• Li Fan — Repeatedly repaired, accelerated, manipulated, sublimated, and ultimately refined the world; later became known to its living beings as its parent and Sacred Lord. 1413 1569 1586
• Nameless — Installed as Profound Yellow Great Celestial Venerable and used the world’s vitality to heal the World Splitting Great Vortex. 1403
• Sage Emperor Li Ping — Sought to establish the Profound Yellow Orthodoxy and subtly unite the world and its remnants. 1273
• Heavenly Physician — His Golden Needles interrupted one of the world’s transformations and attempted to restore it to its pre-war state. 1312

Trivia

• The original Profound Yellow territory occupies less than one-thirtieth of the composite world; captured territories account for about one-tenth, while most of the remainder consists of forcibly stitched remnant-world material. 1263
• The world has only two known successful cases of escaping into the Darkest Star Sea. 1275
• It is described as unusually valuable among ancient Cultivation Worlds and may be watched or influenced through its World Splitting gaps. 1275
• Following Li Fan’s later proclamation as the Primal Chaos Profound Yellow World-Governing Numinous Sky Sacred Lord, more than one hundred Grotto-Heaven stars emerged and the realm’s first Transformation Stage cultivator was born. 1586
