Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | True Immortal |
| Original Name | 真仙 |
| Classification | High-level immortal cultivation designation |
| Associated Paths | Immortal Dao; Great Vehicle cultivation |
| Status | Below Earth Immortal; may ascend to the Earth Immortal Realm |
Cultivation Position
“True Immortal” is used as an exalted designation for high-level cultivators, including Nascent Soul True Immortals and Great Vehicle True Immortals. Its precise placement varies between realm systems, but it consistently denotes a level far beyond ordinary mortal cultivation. 154 155 406
| Rank / designation | Documented position |
|---|---|
| Core Formation True Person | Considered a “mortal Immortal” or “Human Immortal” in some lower realms; gains a lifespan of roughly 3,000 years. 154 |
| Nascent Soul True Immortal | A major immortal threshold; Lu Qingfeng considers himself effectively invincible among this realm’s cultivators in isolated worlds after reforming his Nascent Soul. 406 |
| Great Vehicle True Immortal | Can ascend from a lower realm to the Earth Immortal Realm. 155 |
| Earth Immortal | The higher immortal rank beyond True Immortal; Earth Immortals open Blessed Lands and are regarded as undying and indestructible. 497 578 |
In the Small Weak Water Realm, True Immortal is the highest realm permitted by that world’s heavenly laws, above its six Nascent Soul layers. 631
Great Vehicle Transformation
A cultivator entering the Great Vehicle True Immortal realm undergoes a fundamental transformation:
- Their postnatal mortal body becomes an innate immortal body. 476
- Spells and Divine Powers can be wielded with far greater freedom and force than at the Nascent Soul realm. 476
- They receive an opportunity to comprehend the heart of Heaven and insights bestowed by heaven and earth. 476
- Immortal Qi may descend and assist in refining Immortal Crystals and transforming the cultivator’s body. 476
Immortal Body
The Great Vehicle Immortal Body progresses through five documented stages. 558
| Stage | Effect |
|---|---|
| Ice Skin | Cleanses marrow and impurities through Wind and Fire Tribulation; greatly improves defense and affinity with the Heavenly Dao. |
| Jade Bone | Transforms the bones into enduring immortal bones that remain potent even after death. |
| Silver Blood | A higher stage of bodily refinement, associated with formidable vitality. |
| Golden Eyes | Produces divine eyes capable of perceiving the essence of the world and supporting Dao comprehension. |
| Immortal Body | Completes the return from postnatal to innate form; the body becomes enduring and able to withstand countless tribulations. |
Immortal Artifacts
True Immortals can fully refine and bring out the real power of Immortal Artifacts, which contain Pure Yang. Core Formation and Nascent Soul cultivators cannot completely refine such treasures and can only use a fraction of their strength. 488
- A True Immortal wielding a fully refined Immortal Artifact may contend with an Earth Immortal. Ao Jun used the Wind Fire Bracelet to hold off Great Sage Spirit Communication. 488
- Possessing an Immortal Artifact creates a major gap even among True Immortals and Earth Immortals. 488
- The difference between a True Immortal and an Earth Immortal remains immense despite powerful artifacts or Divine Powers. 483
Reincarnation
True Immortals whose lifespans are nearing their end or whose paths have stagnated may reincarnate into reviving lower realms to pursue a renewed opportunity for advancement. 155
- The recovering Evergreen Realm attracted reincarnated True Immortals from the Thunder Department and Dipper Department because it could again support Earth Immortal and Celestial Immortal Dao Fruits. 155
- Reincarnation is dangerous: without cultivation and with only an ignorant fragment of true spirit, a True Immortal may fall into eternal damnation. 155
- Reincarnated True Immortals can recover their past-life memories after cultivating again. Chang Lin, Zi Qi, and Xuan Yin regained theirs after reaching Spirit Void. 187
- Recovering past memories does not necessarily change one’s personality; Lu Qingfeng observes that a reincarnated True Immortal may remain petty or scheming despite immense cultivation. 160

- Chang Lin — Reincarnated True Immortal of the Soushen Temple; later recovered his past memories. 155 187
- Zi Qi — Reincarnated True Immortal of the Soushen Temple who trusted Lu Qingfeng’s ability to survive the Four-Nine Heavenly Tribulation. 187
