Immortal Realm

Biodata

Nature and Ascension

• The Immortal Realm possesses far denser spiritual energy than the Tian Yuan Realm; Li Zhōujūn finds its ambient energy several times richer upon arrival. 162
• Native mortals exist there and cultivate through the same foundational realms as lower-realm cultivators, with many natives born already at Qi Refinement or Golden Core. 167
• Most lower-realm cultivators ascend after surviving Lightning Tribulation and converting their spiritual energy into Immortal Spiritual Energy. True Immortals are nevertheless considered low-level cultivators after arriving. 85
• Ascension by the Immortal Realm's golden light refines an ascender's immortal body. Cultivators who retain their final trace of spiritual energy can remain in the lower realm, but do so at the cost of delaying ascent. 85
• A True Immortal who misses the golden-light reception can forcibly breach the world barrier, but this causes a major disturbance and leaves them vulnerable after expending power. 103
• Raiders from the Immortal Realm may wait at forcibly opened passages to prey on exhausted ascenders and seize their treasures; Daoist Ziyun is ambushed in this manner by the Sixth-Rank True Immortal Nether Ghost Daoist. 103
• Descending from the Immortal Realm to a lower realm is possible but extremely costly, while forcibly entering the Immortal Realm from below is comparatively easier. 69 103

Geography

Five Great Immortal Domains

• Each small or medium-sized domain can be as vast as an entire lower world, and the realm also contains innumerable scattered small continents. 163 167
• Even traveling at full speed without teleportation arrays, a True Immortal would require decades to travel from Jade Sheng Domain in the Southern Continent to the Central Continent. 167
• Mortal Domains are territories with exceptionally thin spiritual energy. They may result from devastating battles or natural conditions, and even True Immortals generally avoid remaining in them for long. 214
• The Immortal Relic Continent lies between the Southern and Eastern Continents. It was once used to exile cultivators of the Demonic Dao after their cultivation was crippled. 177

Cultivation System

• Cultivators may be further distinguished by ranks and realms within a major stage, such as Ninth-Rank, Third-Realm Immortal Emperors. 263
• The Immortal Realm lacks Chaos Qi; according to Eternal Cloud Saint, this prevents Immortal Emperors from advancing into the Saint Realm while remaining there. 332
• The gap between major realms is extreme: a Profound Immortal/Immortal Lord is described as insignificant before a Golden Immortal-level Immortal Emperor. 155

Major Powers

• Dao Tian Immortal Palace — A top Immortal Realm force based in the Central Continent. It maintains subordinate worlds, including the Tian Yuan Realm, and possesses a small world behind its mountain gate. 225 291 301
• Seven Great Ancient Clans — Powerful ancient clans of the Immortal Realm. The Nether Luo Ancient Clan is regarded as one of the strongest and most mysterious, ranking among the top three. 335
• Dragon Clan — A major force powerful enough that the Nether Luo Ancient Clan had historically avoided provoking it, though its influence later declined after the death of a peak Half-Saint Dragon Emperor. 335 337
• Demon Kingdoms of the Western Continent — The dominant powers in the west, where humans are comparatively scarce and disadvantaged. 202
• Lingyu Sect — A sect in Jade Sheng Domain whose True Immortal Elders seek to recruit newly ascended cultivators. 162

Li Zhōujūn's Arrival

Li Zhōujūn enters the Immortal Realm after leaving the Tian Yuan Realm and arrives in a region of mountains and rivers with unusually abundant spiritual energy. He is immediately approached by Lingyu Sect elders Ji Sīdān and Dèng Yìchén, who attempt to recruit him through deception and coercion. 162 163

Emergence of the Azure Emperor

Li Zhōujūn becomes widely known as the Azure Emperor after confronting three leading Demon Emperors in the Western Continent. His reputation spreads widely enough that younger cultivators begin wearing azure robes in imitation. 214

Cangchen Passage Crisis

A passage between the Eternal Immortal Realm and Cangchen Immortal Realm opens in the Northern Continent. The Death Language Demon Emperor enters intending to provoke a war, but Li Zhōujūn kills him with a single punch. 352 353 357

Divine Palace Oversight

The Divine Palace of Chaos Heaven is revealed to guard several public Immortal Realms, including the Eternal and Cangchen Immortal Realms, on behalf of stronger Chaos Heaven powers. Immortal Realm ascenders who reach Chaos Heaven must still pass those powers’ tests to gain access to their resources. 362
