Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | True Immortal |
| Original | 真仙 |
| Alias(es) | Mahayana True Immortal |
| Occupation/Role | Immortal Dao cultivation realm between the Primordial Spirit and Earth Immortal realms 475 657 |
| First Appearance | Mentioned as the potential achievement of the Blackvein Golden-Spotted Butterfly Clan 87 |
Realm Position
True Immortals have crossed beyond the “mortal” Primordial Spirit stage and entered Mahayana, an immortal realm concerned with sensing the Heavenly Dao, refining an Immortal Body, accumulating mana, and comprehending the Great Dao. The next major threshold is the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit. 475 572
Core Formation cultivators may be called “Human Immortals” in some lower realms, but they remain far beneath True Immortals. 154
| Realm | Position |
|---|---|
| Primordial Spirit | Final major mortal realm before Mahayana. 475 |
| Mahayana True Immortal | Immortal stage; cultivators refine their bodies, Primordial Spirits, mana, and Dao comprehension. 475 571 |
| Earth Immortal | Higher immortal realm attained by passing through the Immortality Mist and opening the Gate of Immortality. 572 657 |
Mahayana Cultivation Stages
| Stage / Realm / Level | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sensory Realm | The first Mahayana stage. A newly advanced True Immortal can sense the Heavenly Dao and seek methods of longevity. 483 |
| Tribulation Realm | Reached after sufficient accumulation. Cultivators face recurring Ninefold Heavenly Tribulations: minor tribulations every 500 years and major tribulations every 3,000 years. 483 |
| True Subtlety Realm | A later Mahayana stage preceding Dao-Insight. 571 |
| Dao-Insight Realm | A True Immortal deepens their comprehension of the Great Dao; its peak leads into the Immortality Mist. 571 572 |
| Immortality Mist | The barrier between True Immortality and Earth Immortality. Passing it requires more than mana; one must comprehend the Dao and glimpse the Gate of Immortality. 571 572 |
Mahayana Immortal Body
During the Tribulation Realm, True Immortals forge an Immortal Body through five documented stages:
- Ice Flesh
- Jade Bones
- Silver Blood
- Golden Eyes
- Immortal Body 558
Attainment and Transformation
A breakthrough into True Immortality may grant a cultivator a profound opening to the Great Dao. Their mortal body can be transformed into an innate Immortal Body, while their Primordial Spirit and mana undergo major refinement. The depth of this transformation depends on the cultivator’s prior accumulation. 476
- True Immortals can draw and refine immortal qi, a power that also crystallizes into Immortal Crystals. 476 477
- A Mahayana True Immortal can obtain roughly one Immortal Crystal through cultivation about once per millennium. 425
- Cultivators with weak foundations may enter Mahayana by force yet fail to fully refine their bodies or fully receive Heaven and Earth’s blessing. 476
- The Ninefold Heavenly Tribulation is especially dangerous: failure can result in complete destruction of body and soul, without even the chance to reincarnate. 483
Strength and Resources
Divine Abilities
Divine abilities are regarded as treasures containing principles of the Great Dao, far surpassing ordinary high-tier techniques. An immortal sect may use only one or two divine abilities to dominate cultivators of the same realm. 89
Even a sect with a Mahayana True Immortal may possess shallow foundations if it lacks divine abilities. 89
Immortal Artifacts
Immortal Artifacts contain Pure Yang power and can only be fully refined and wielded by True Immortals or Earth Immortals. Among immortals of similar cultivation, possessing an Immortal Artifact can create an overwhelming advantage. 488
- A first-rank Immortal Artifact is precious but may be refined by an Earth Immortal with enough time. 605
- Second-rank Immortal Artifacts are valued even by formidable Earth Immortals. 605
- Third-rank Immortal Artifacts are generally treasures suited to Heavenly Immortals. 579
- An Immortal Artifact does not erase the gap between realms; a powerful Earth Immortal can still overwhelm a True Immortal wielding one. 490
Reincarnation
True Immortals may descend into lower realms through reincarnation to seek fortune, recover their former status, or pursue the Earth Immortal Dao Fruit. 155 188
- Reincarnated True Immortals can recover the wisdom and memories of their former lives after rebuilding sufficient cultivation. 155 156
- The process is perilous: death before being found or protected can send them into another cycle of reincarnation, potentially leaving them lost in ignorance for life after life. 155
- Chang Lin, Purple Qi, and Xuanyin were three True Immortals of the God-Seeking Temple who descended into the Evergreen Realm through reincarnation. 155
- Some early descending immortals recovered past-life memories before reaching the Spirit Void Realm and then sought fortune openly. 161
Notable True Immortals
- Lu Qingfeng / Divine Lord Guangyuan — attained True Immortality through the broad Dao of Thunder, becoming known as a Thunder True Immortal. 476
- Chang Lin — reincarnated God-Seeking Temple True Immortal and disciple of Lu Qingfeng. 155 156
- Purple Qi — reincarnated God-Seeking Temple True Immortal who later cultivated under Lu Qingfeng. 155 190
- Xuanyin — one of the three reincarnated True Immortals located through the Nine-Strategy Profound Heaven Tally. 155 156
- Mu Chen — sect master of the Immortal Farmer Sect whose ascent preserved her sect’s standing among the Immortal Alliance’s upper sects. 550
- Xuanting True Immortal — a newly ascended lightning cultivator whose Immortal Artifact and thunder arts could not overcome Great Sage of Battle’s Earth Immortal strength. 490 491
