Hunyuan

Biodata

Power Progression

Nature

• Hunyuan is attained by transforming one’s personal Dao into a Dao capable of standing across the infinite Multiverse. Its practitioners are not merely powerful cultivators; they become sources from which later beings may derive their own paths. 1368
• A true Hunyuan radiates its Dao across myriad worlds and can draw upon the power of countless Great Worlds and universes. 1371
• Hunyuan and Hunyuan Wuji differ in the quantity and strength of Dao under one’s command rather than by a fundamental divide. 1405
• The cultivation of a Hunyuan commonly consists of spreading one’s Dao through increasingly many worlds, allowing the Dao and its source to mutually deepen. 1375 1609
• In the system used by Yuan, a Hun Yuan Lord is equivalent to a Great Luo Golden Number. Reaching that level requires the unity of body and soul, regardless of whether one began by cultivating the body or soul. 1154 1165

Attaining Hunyuan

Attaining Dao Tribulation

The passage from Great Luo to Hunyuan requires the Attaining Dao Tribulation. It is not a punishment imposed by the Great Dao, but a transformation and balance of the cultivator’s heart, self, and Dao. 1368

• Calamities manifest as disasters for heaven and earth and as tribulations for sentient beings. 1368
• A cultivator must prove that their Dao can become a path shared by myriad worlds, beings, and Daos. 1368
• Great Luo cultivators do not face ordinary tribulations; the Attaining Dao Tribulation is their required barrier to Hunyuan. 1268
• Failure may extinguish both the cultivator and their Dao, as seen when Feng Xiaozhong’s Great Dao dispersed after his defeat. 1256

Known Methods

• Natural accumulation — Gu Shaoshang entered Half-Step Hunyuan without severing corpses or making vows after defeating Feng Xiaozhong. 1256
• Severing the three corpses — A method used to disperse calamities and build the foundation needed to face the tribulation. 1268
• Great vows — A method akin to seeking the Great Dao’s aid in overcoming the tribulation. 1268
• Direct disciples or Great Dao merit — Alternative methods used by some cultivators to bear or mitigate calamities. 1268
• Dao without universal imprinting — Imprinting one’s Dao across the Myriad Heavens is a complete route toward Wuji, but it is not mandatory to become Hunyuan. 1592

Powers & Characteristics

Dao Source

A true Hunyuan is the Dao itself: a Dao Source Stream and ancestor of a cultivation path. 1371

• Can establish foundations for myriad worlds with a single word. 1368
• Their Dao can permeate past and future. 1368
• Their presence may transform an area of Chaos into their own domain through Daoist charm alone. 1371
• The practices, Dao attainments, and methods derived from a Dao’s origin strengthen that origin. 1550

Omnipresence

Hunyuan beings exist across innumerable realms and space-times rather than at a single fixed location. 1484

• Can traverse countless realms with a single thought. 1484
• Can strike targets across infinitely distant worlds and space-times. 1371
• To imprison a Hunyuan, an opponent must bind its existence, Daoist charm, concepts, and presence throughout the Myriad Heavens. 1484

Limits

• Hunyuan is eternal in nature, but Hunyuan beings are not invincible. 1147
• An outward injury to a Hunyuan’s physical form constitutes a severe Dao injury. 1267
• Even Hunyuan and Great Luo cannot achieve absolute omniscience or omnipotence, as their own existence and that of other great powers create unavoidable limits. 1438
• Some beings possess strength comparable to Hunyuan within restricted worlds but remain incomplete if their Dao cannot radiate across the Myriad Heavens. 1371

Known Hunyuan Practitioners
