Background / History
The Immortal Realm lies above the Barren Realm and Origin Realm. It is not a peaceful paradise: its conflicts can destroy the lifeforms of entire worlds, while major factions cultivate and plunder the Small Worlds under their control. 464
The connection between the Barren Realm and the Immortal Realm was severed by the Great Emperor. This prevented Barren Realm cultivators from reaching the higher realm through ordinary means, though the Darkness Forbidden Zone retained a route to it. 578
Jiang Ping An eventually entered the Immortal Realm through a teleportation gate and was directed to the Feather Emperor Immortal Sect's Outer Sect as a nominal disciple. 626
Cosmology
World Tree
The Immortal Realm was born from an enormous World Tree. The tree has four great branches, and its leaves form World Domains. 807
- Great regions, such as the Illusory Moon Region, grow from leaves on the World Tree. 655
- Fallen leaves form Lower Realms or Small Worlds, including the Barren Realm, Origin Realm, and Ancient God Small World. 655 819
- Major factions control multiple Small Worlds beneath their territories. 655
- Human, Demon, and Devil races are native to this World Tree, unlike the Curse Spirit Race, which originated from another World Tree. 1258
Outer Space
Beyond the World Tree is Outer Space: a directionless void without stars, light, or energy. Sound Transmission Talismans cannot function there, and even Heavenly Immortals can lose their way and die. 807
Environment and Society
The Immortal Realm possesses dense Immortal Dao Laws and far richer cultivation conditions than the Barren Realm. Jiang Ping An sensed his immortal seed awakening upon arrival, while even ordinary inhabitants near the Feather Emperor Immortal Sect were at least Body Integration Realm cultivators. 626
Its regions vary greatly in scale and conditions.
- Illusory Moon Region — One of the World Tree's great regions; it contains five top-tier immortal sects, including the Feather Emperor Immortal Sect, Heavenly Orchid Immortal Abode, and Northern Wilderness Immortal Sect. 655
- Azure Branch — One of the Immortal Realm's four great branches. Azure Branch Academy gathers geniuses from major realms and has Immortals throughout its grounds. 732
- Blood Region — A dangerous region formed around an ancient battlefield; its depths are feared even by Golden Immortals. 1193
- Demon Domain — A former central World Tree trunk that broke away after war between humans and demons; its strength is comparable to that of the Human Race. 1115
Resources are central to Immortal Realm politics. Immortals are effectively ageless unless killed, causing the number of powerful figures to rise while resources become scarcer; this scarcity drives many racial and factional conflicts. 1261
Cultivation System
Immortal Seeds and Immortal Roots are foundational to cultivation in the Immortal Realm. Immortal Roots develop under the influence of Immortal Dao Power and permit advancement through its cultivation system. 618 670
| Realm | Known characteristics |
|---|---|
| Human Immortal Realm | The first Immortal Realm cultivation level. 812 |
| Earth Immortal Realm | Allows the comprehension of Earth Immortal rules; an Earth Immortal's Inner World and Source Tree undergo major growth. 1018 |
| Heavenly Immortal Realm | The third Immortal Realm realm; Source Stars begin transforming into Immortal Dao Truth, and a practitioner's actions can destroy heaven and earth. 1046 |
| True Immortal Realm | A cultivator's origin merges into a true spirit, freeing them from Immortal Dao Contracts; they can reconstruct their body so long as their soul survives. 1134 |
| Profound Immortal Realm | A realm above True Immortal; its experts are decision-makers of major factions and can establish enduring legacies. 1253 |

| Immortal Lord Realm | A higher realm whose experts are nearly impossible to kill except through divine artifacts. 1214 |
After becoming an Immortal, individuals are not restricted to a single fixed cultivation system. Exceptional cultivators may create their own paths, though most follow systems established by stronger predecessors. 812
Major Crisis and Destruction
Fiends exposed the Immortal Realm's coordinates to other worlds, threatening to draw stronger races to the World Tree. This revelation forced Immortal Lords to choose between awaiting invasion or cooperating with the fiends' proposed route to the God Realm. 1297
The Human and Demon races later cooperated to construct a Teleportation Array to the God Realm using seized Domains as its foundation. 1312
Ancient Emperor became a god-level expert and intended to refine the Immortal Realm into his Inner World, allowing its people to travel with him to the God Realm. 1338 1339
Zhuo Shan, a God Realm expert searching for a treasure left by the Fifth Main God, followed the Immortal Realm's coordinates to its location. After killing Ancient Emperor, he destroyed the World Tree itself, annihilating the Immortal Realm and its lifeforms. 1339 1340
