Background

The Mortal Realm was originally a world where the Martial Path resonated directly with its origin through physical cultivation and Blood Essence. Spiritual Root seeds later fell from beyond the heavens, absorbed the world’s origin, and transformed it into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy; Su Muxue identifies this system as an external trap that gradually turned cultivators into dependents of spiritual energy. 21

The Origin Rift, where the world’s origins converge and where the Will of the Heavenly Dao was born, is located within Boundary Severing Mountain. It became a recurring focal point for origin crises, realm defense, and later interspatial travel. 38

Deep in the realm’s core lies the Vitality Fragment, a Primordial Origin Fragment described as the universe’s “first wisp of life.” Its awakening projected an Origin Star Map across the night sky and threatened to destroy the Mortal Realm’s core when its guardian’s consciousness became unstable. 60

Characteristics

• Its earth-vein energy is characterized as dense and heavy, contrasting with the Star Core Dimension’s clear, ethereal vein energy. Direct contact between the two initially caused mutual repulsion. 90
• The realm possesses an Origin Maple and surrounding Origin Grass whose condition reflects disturbances in its vein aura. The Origin Maple is one of the “roots” of the realm’s vein energy. 95
• The Inheritance Stele Forest preserves origin memories and enables young cultivators to inherit their respective origin powers. 69
• The Origin Rift Plaza serves as a major site for interspace formations, origin monitoring, and defensive operations. 45 61
• Mortal Realm living soil is effective against deathly aura and Baleful Remains, while its agricultural knowledge—including channel dredging and soil banking—has proven useful beyond the realm. 124 149

Cultivation and Society

Myriad Arts Fusion

Following the destruction of the Heart of Origin, the Mortal Realm became a center of Myriad Arts fusion. Myriad Arts Academy expanded to include Human, Demon, Spirit, Stone, and other races, promoting combinations of blood qi, demonic power, Soul Suppressing Power, Earth Vein Power, body tempering, and spell control. 39

The academy system includes distinct approaches:

• Martial Arts Academy — disciples refine qi and blood through physical training.
• Immortal Cultivation Academy — disciples combine spiritual energy with their own qi and blood rather than relying solely on Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
• Fusion Academy — disciples experiment with combining Martial Path body tempering and immortal spell control. 34

Origin Guardians

Young cultivators from multiple domains receive training and undertake guardianship duties within the Mortal Realm. A Yan, A Chen, A Lei, and Little Vine’s first mission involved containing Residual Corrosion Purple Mist leaking from the Origin Rift and protecting the realm’s Earth Veins. 88

History

Martial Path Revival

Chen Fan’s rise challenged the belief that mortals without Spiritual Roots could not cultivate. His Martial Path cultivation demonstrated that power developed from within was less vulnerable to suppression than Spiritual Root cultivation, especially against demonic mist. 20

The revelation of the Spiritual Root system’s origin transformed the Mortal Realm’s cultivation landscape. Chen Fan led cultivators in using Blood Essence to form the Blood Qi Formation Diagram, breaking the Purple Robe Great Sage’s demonic mist and helping end the crisis at Clear Wind City. 21

Origin and Heavenly Dao Crisis

The realm became a central battlefield against the Will of the Heavenly Dao and its Origin Chains, which were created to bind the Nine Origins and enforce the superiority of Spiritual Roots. 35

After the Heart of Origin was destroyed, the Mortal Realm entered a period of rapid Myriad Arts development, but extraworldly ripples soon agitated the dead-soul origin in Myriad Souls Cave and threatened the world barrier. 39

Extraterritorial Defense

When the Corrosion Lord attacked, it sought to flatten the Mortal Realm and return all origin to corrosion. Defenders reinforced the world barrier with origin crystals, corrosion-resistant ores, and Soul Suppressing Power. 41

The Mortal Realm subsequently became the practical center of a growing interspace alliance. It formed connections with Spirit Resonance Space, Earth Core Space, Thunder Evolution Space, the Wild Otherworld, and other realms facing origin-based threats. 43 45 51

Later Realm Crises

The realm endured repeated threats to its core systems:

• The awakening Vitality Fragment nearly destabilized the realm’s core. 60
• Origin Resonance Tower turbulence caused the Mortal Realm’s chaotic origin to run wild, splitting the earth and releasing magma. 64
• Void rifts at the universe’s boundary threatened to devour origins across the Myriad Domains, including the Mortal Realm. 66
• Cognitive mist temporarily made cultivators forget how to operate their origins, including Chen Fan’s chaos origin. 68
• Withering Spirit Miasma damaged the realm’s spirit farmlands, hardening fertile soil and draining seeds of vitality. 123

Interrealm Relations

• Spirit Resonance Space — First major allied space connected through a Spatial Interconnection Array. Its Spirit Resonance Perception Art improved the Mortal Realm’s detection of Origin fluctuations. 43 44
• Earth Core Space — Allied space whose Earth Core Origin and ore-forging expertise complement the Mortal Realm’s unstable earth-vein conditions. 44 45
• Thunder Evolution Space — Joined the alliance through an array constructed in Origin Rift Plaza; its Thunder Evolution Origin provides dynamic stability and anti-corrosion experience. 45
• Star Core Dimension — Initially experienced vein-energy incompatibility with the Mortal Realm, but later developed a dual-domain symbiosis system centered on shared defenses and resonance. 90 94
• Wood Spirit Domain — Cooperates with the Mortal Realm in agriculture, life-force restoration, and protection against miasma and deathly contamination. 123 149
• Myriad Domains Alliance — The broader alliance of realms and races that coordinates defense against corrosion, entropy, void energy, dimensional chains, and Source Calamity. 55 66 124

Agriculture and Civil Life

Mortal Realm living soil, spirit seeds, honey, and sweet potatoes become recurring resources in cross-domain cooperation.

• Living soil can damage Baleful Remains and counter deathly aura. 124 135
• Mortal Realm honey is used in Life Cakes that nourish life-force meridians. 123
• Channel dredging and sluice gates saved flooded fields in the Earth and Wood Spirit Domains, demonstrating the value of Mortal Realm farming methods. 149
• Sweet potatoes are valued for their deep-rooting vitality; potatoes from multiple domains were later used to disperse lingering harmful energy through the life force of ten thousand veins. 142
• During drought and famine, sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour were sent from the Joint Defense Hub to Mortal Realm villages as emergency food supplies. 152
