History

When the Golden Crow threatened to burn the realm to ashes, Su Hao—through his Heaven and Man as One state—perceived Chiqing Realm as a living entity and heard its plea for salvation. 245 The crisis culminated in Su Hao destroying the Golden Crow and Solar True Fire with the World Annihilation sword, preserving the realm. 251

The realm later approached Su Hao through Su Mei, a Sika deer-shaped manifestation of its consciousness. Su Mei explicitly thanked him for saving Chiqing Realm from destruction. 265 Su Hao subsequently connected his consciousness with hers and received a complete perception of the realm’s hidden resources, secret realms, ancient ruins, and population centers. 266

After the Taihao Sacred Dynasty enabled mass ascensions, the realm’s increased fortune strengthened Su Mei and raised the possibility that Chiqing Realm could eventually become a “Small Immortal Realm.” 291 This development drew the Heavenly Court’s attention, as it considered the realm an anomaly capable of allowing cultivators to ascend outside Heavenly Court control. 320 324

Geography

Chiqing Realm is a square-shaped world containing a main planet, thousands of surrounding stars, and an outer river of stars enclosed by an invisible world barrier. 314 Mortals regard it as boundless, but powerful cultivators can cross its north and south poles within a few breaths. 314

Its outer barrier separates the realm from the void and other worlds. Damage to this boundary exposes Chiqing Realm to the forces of the void. 314

Realm Spirit

Su Mei is the soul and Realm Spirit of Chiqing Realm. She can transform into all things in heaven and earth; her Sika deer form is not her only appearance. 265

• Her existence is mutually linked to Chiqing Realm’s fortune, spiritual energy, and physical condition. 291
• Damage to continents and the destruction of their inhabitants weakens her; if Chiqing Realm is destroyed, she will cease to exist. 286
• She can sense disturbances at the realm’s boundary, including forced intrusions from outside worlds. 266
• As Chiqing Realm’s fortune increased, her previously ethereal form became nearly physical. 291

Realm Properties

Comprehensive Perception

Su Mei can perceive the entirety of Chiqing Realm and share that awareness directly through a connection of consciousness. 266

• Her perception includes mineral veins, Dragon Veins, inheritance grounds, cave mansions, teleportation arrays, space tunnels, secret realms, sect territories, and mortal dynasties. 266
• Su Hao organized the information she shared into a map scroll containing more than a million pieces of intelligence. 266
• The resulting Chiqing Realm Map could display the whole realm or magnify its view down to individual vegetation. 266

Fortune and Ascension

The realm’s fortune is strengthened by the True Immortals bound to its ascension system. 291

• True Immortals who ascend through the Taihao Sacred Dynasty become immortals of Chiqing Realm and cannot proceed to the genuine Immortal Realm. 291 320
• The rapid increase in True Immortals improved Chiqing Realm’s fortune and Su Mei’s stability. 291
• Its limited Immortal Qi capacity became a concern once the Taihao Sacred Dynasty possessed forty-five True Immortals. 294
• The mountain soul is central to the realm’s production of Immortal Qi and is regarded as its most precious asset. 420

Resources and Hidden Sites

Although generations of cultivators had already taken much of Chiqing Realm’s accessible wealth, at least eighty percent of its opportunities had been discovered before Su Hao obtained Su Mei’s complete perception. 266

Known categories of concealed resources include:

• Spirit stone mines, rare herbs, high-grade treasure materials, and materials capable of forging immortal artifacts. 266
• Ancient cultivator inheritances, underground palaces, cave mansions, secret realms, and damaged teleportation arrays. 266
• A twelve-tribulation monk and a remnant true demon beneath the Tathagata Zen Sect’s pagoda forest. 266
• A True Immortal Buddha-bone relic within the Sarira Pagoda. 266
• Three underground palaces and a hundred-thousand-year Crimson Fire Pearl Lotus beneath a canyon rift on Daoyuan Continent. 266

Threats and Defenses

• Golden Crow — Threatened to incinerate the entire realm after targeting Yu Xuanji; Su Hao ultimately destroyed it and the Solar True Fire. 246 251
• Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle — Initially approached Chiqing Realm after being drawn to a substance on its world barrier; it later agreed to guard the realm while Su Hao cultivated. 314 337
• Heavenly Court — Regards Chiqing Realm’s independent ascension system as a threat to Immortal Realm order. 324
• Heaven Concealing Array — Prevented the White Tiger Star Lord from probing the realm with divine sense, concealing its deeper secrets. 325
• Five Great Calamities — The Heavenly Emperor ordered the destruction of Chiqing Realm through the Heaven-Burning Fire Calamity followed by the remaining four great calamities. 430

Relationships

• Su Mei — The realm’s consciousness and Realm Spirit; her survival is inseparable from Chiqing Realm’s survival. 265 286
• Su Hao — Saved Chiqing Realm from the Golden Crow, received its complete perception through Su Mei, and oversees its ascension system and defenses. 251 266 291
• Taihao Sacred Dynasty — Its ascended True Immortals are bound to the realm and contribute to its fortune. 291
• Essence-Devouring Divine Turtle — Guardian that protects the realm’s exterior while also residing secretly within the Taihao Sacred Dynasty. 337
• Heavenly Court — Claims jurisdiction over Chiqing Realm as one of the three thousand lower realms and seeks to investigate or eliminate its anomaly. 324 430
