Spiritual Energy and Cultivation
The Great Thousand World is defined by the presence of Spiritual Energy, a higher-order energy substance that cultivators sense and absorb to increase their strength. Worlds without it are classified as Lower Planes. 731
| Stage / Realm / Level | Notes |
|---|---|
| Sensing Realm | The first realm; cultivators sense the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth. 732 |
| Spirit Movement Realm | Spiritual Energy is absorbed into the body. 732 |
| Spirit Wheel Realm | Spiritual Energy condenses into a wheel within the body. 732 |
| Spirit Soul Realm | A watershed realm in which cultivators refine the essence souls of myriad beasts. 732 |
| Supreme Realm | Supreme experts possess a Supreme Sea, a Supreme Dharma Body, and Spiritual Power with spirituality. 780 |
| Earth Supreme | A high realm whose experts can live for tens of thousands of years unless killed or otherwise destroyed. 763 |
| Heaven Supreme | Divided into Spirit Grade, Immortal Grade, and Saint Grade. 794 |
| Dominator Realm | A realm reached by obtaining the Great Thousand World's recognition and World Power through the Heavens List. 851 |
Supreme Dharma Bodies
Supreme Dharma Bodies are a defining advantage of the Great Thousand World's system and a major divide between ordinary cultivators and Supremes. They differ from the Dou Qi Continent's Dou Di Bodies, even where the two appear similar. 740
Among them, the Primordial Bodies are the greatest. Ten experts wielding Primordial Bodies turned the tide during the ancient war, but five of those inheritances were lost; the remaining five are held by the Ancient God Clans. 736
World Will and the Heavens List
The Great Thousand World's World Will is manifested through the Heavens List. A cultivator who brands their true name upon it may receive World Power and break into the Dominator Realm. 851
The Heavens List can also suppress cultivation: it reduced the Heavenly Evil God from the Dominator Realm after he encountered the Great Thousand World's World Will. 794
Geography and Cosmology
| Location / Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Central universe | The Great Thousand World formed at the center of a primordial cosmic explosion and serves as the universe's central realm. 731 |
| Super Continents | Ten Great Super Continents remain in the present era; many others were shattered or remain under Extraterritorial Evil Clan rule. 753 |
| Ning Tian Continent | A relatively outer continent with comparatively thin Spiritual Energy and weaker overall strength. 753 |
| Divine Beast Continent | The largest and strongest Super Continent, situated in the east and inhabited by countless Divine Beast families. 940 |
| Ten Thousand Dragon Valley | The Dragon Race's territory in the south-central Divine Beast Continent; its core encompasses the continent's earth veins and Earth's Core World. 940 |
| Northern Wilderness Hill | The remnant of the Northern Wilderness Continent, shattered during the battle between the Immortal Great Emperor and Heavenly Evil God. 777 |
| Spirit Demon Continent | A devastated border battlefield where the Great Thousand World and Extraterritorial Evil Clan repeatedly clashed. 1024 |
| Wild Boundary Region | Spirit Qi-devoid, unrecorded cosmic space outside the Great Thousand World; Lower Planes exist in such regions. 971 |
The Divine Beast Continent was once far larger than it is now. The ancient invasion split it into the present Divine Beast Continent, the sealed Divine Beast Origin, and the polluted old site reclaimed from the Extraterritorial Evil Clan only a thousand years ago. 751
The world contains numerous races beyond humans and Spirit Beasts, including elemental clans such as the Ice Spirit Clan, Fire Spirit Clan, Stone Spirit Clan, and Thunder Spirit Clan. Some are born without physical bodies and develop forms only through cultivation. 745
History
Ancient era and the great war
Fifty Thousand Years ago, the Extraterritorial Evil Clan invaded the Great Thousand World under the Evil God. The invasion devastated countless domains, exterminated races, enslaved Lower Planes, and lasted a thousand years. 735
The Divine Beast Continent became the first major sacrifice of the war. The Heavenly Evil God destroyed and shattered it, while the Great Thousand World's forces were initially unable to resist the invasion. 736
Ten Primordial Body cultivators eventually emerged and stabilized the collapsing warfront. All ten later fell; five Primordial Bodies and their methods vanished, while five surviving inheritances became the foundations of the Ancient God Clans. 736
The Immortal Great Emperor ultimately defeated and sealed the Heavenly Evil God at Northern Wilderness Hill at the cost of his own life, reclaiming the Great Thousand World's center. 821 1011
The Dou Qi Continent connection
The Great Thousand World was once connected to the Dou Qi Continent. Fifty Thousand Years ago, the Dou Di of that Lower Plane severed the connection and removed its Source Qi, in part to avoid retaliation from the Extraterritorial Evil Clan and interference from the Great Thousand World's powers. 695 738
Xiao Yan reopened a passage from the Dou Qi Continent after drawing Emperor-grade Pill Lightning from the Great Thousand World. The passage allowed him and his companions to enter, though their Dou Qi initially suffered corrosion and required conversion into Spiritual Energy. 728 731 744
Renewed war
Despite the ancient victory, the Extraterritorial Evil Clan retained or later occupied vast territories. By the modern era, major battlefronts remained in the Extreme North and Extreme South, while the Azure Robe Sword Saint's Sword Domain guarded the west. 821 871
The Great Thousand Covenant united Saint Grade experts and other powers to prevent the Heavenly Evil God's return. The Extraterritorial Evil Clan responded with a full-scale assault intended to free him and contaminate the world's Spiritual Energy. 1011 1013
During the final conflict, Mu Chen became the Great Ruler and confronted the Heavenly Evil God through the Heavens List. 1024 Xiao Yan later destroyed the Heavens List, ending the calamity associated with the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, while the Dou Qi Continent rose into a separate Great World: the Dou Qi World. 1027
Major Powers and Peoples
- Great Thousand Palace — The central organization credited with integrating the world's forces during the ancient war; it remains focused on resisting the Extraterritorial Evil Clan. 912 896
- Five Great God Clans — Ancient clans that possess the five surviving Primordial Body inheritances and are regarded as protectors of the Great Thousand World. 736
- Divine Beast families — Powerful Spirit Beast lineages concentrated largely on the Divine Beast Continent; the Dragon Race is its dominant power. 940
- Dragon Race and Phoenix Clan — Major super Divine Beast factions that cooperated after the ancient invasion forced them to abandon their former homeland. 745
- Soul Hall — A deeply hidden force founded in the Great Thousand World by Xiao Yan's side; its Ten Heavenly Lords can determine life and death within the organization. 731
- Extraterrestrial Evil Clan — The Great Thousand World's principal enemy. Their Demonic Qi corrodes Spiritual Energy, making their cultivation system fundamentally hostile to the world's own. 838 1017
Relations with Lower Planes
Lower Plane cultivators who arrive in the Great Thousand World generally must convert their native energy into Spiritual Energy. This process can lower their apparent grade and leaves them at a disadvantage in cultivation methods, divine arts, weapons, and Supreme Dharma Bodies. 744 758
This prejudice is especially strong among elite native factions, which often regard Lower Plane cultivation as an inferior or improper foundation. 738 758
However, the Great Thousand World's history includes powerful Lower Plane ascendants, and several later forces founded by such figures became influential enough to shake the world. 731
Trivia
- The Great Thousand World's written language is the same as that used on the Dou Qi Continent. 735
- Ning Tian Continent alone is no smaller than the Dou Qi Continent. 745
- Spiritual Energy cannot be sensed in the Wild Boundary Region; leaving its range makes replenishing Spirit Qi substantially more difficult. 971
- Demonic Qi does not merely differ from Spiritual Energy—it pollutes and destroys it. 838 1017
