Background

Tian Yuan Star is a vast human civilization whose martial history extends far beyond Blue Star's roughly thousand-year development. Its population, resources, and cultivation system have produced martial artists substantially stronger than Blue Star counterparts at comparable stages. 94 97

The planet is hundreds of times larger than Blue Star, while many Tian Yuan people also live across subsidiary planets within its sphere of influence. 113 204

Its martial civilization regards aperture opening as fundamental. This belief became a source of widespread cultural superiority, particularly after Professor Lan's Human Martial Arts: First Volume repeatedly used Blue Star Martial Dao as a negative example. 99

Martial Dao

Aperture System

Tian Yuan Star's martial path permits both innate and acquired aperture awakening. Opening additional apertures increases cultivation efficiency and strengthens a martial artist's existing talents rather than granting entirely new ones. 96 97

• Most Tian Yuan martial artists can awaken an Innate Aperture and later open another acquired aperture, making two apertures commonplace. 96
• Additional apertures are compared to adding extra “engines” to cultivation, allowing Tian Yuan martial artists to advance much faster than Blue Star practitioners. 97
• Four apertures mark Cheng Wu as a prodigy, while eleven apertures place Jiang Yan among Tian Yuan Star's top-tier monsters. 96 113
• Special Constitutions are rarer than opened apertures and can allow their bearers to defeat opponents with more apertures at the same cultivation level. 113

Realm Classification

Tian Yuan Star combines Blue Star's two pre-Innate realms into a single Postnatal Realm. Under this conversion, Luo An's Fourth Order Perfection cultivation is approximately equivalent to Blue Star's Fifth Order Perfection. 93

The planet's martial system also includes realms and paths unfamiliar to Blue Star, including the Mysterious Aperture Realm, Spirit Platform Realm, True Intent Realm, Martial Intent, Spiritual Power cultivation, and Tenth Order Martial Gods. 95 101 103 207

Political Structure

Heart Source City

Heart Source City is Tian Yuan Star's first capital and the center of its cities, where elite martial artists and major powers gather. 133

During the Heavenly Demon crisis, the city imposed strict identity checks and was effectively half-sealed against outsiders. 204

Tian Yuan Six Alliances

The Tian Yuan Six Alliances were the planet's strongest political and martial force. Formed to stabilize Tian Yuan Star's civil war, each alliance was led by a Tenth Order Martial God. 207

• A rebellion approximately 4,600 years earlier caused heavy losses across the major powers and ended in a temporary peace. 170
• Around 4,546 years before the present, representatives of the major factions formed Tian Yuan Star's high-level government; conflicting interests later created uneven governance. 170
• Martial God Hong Luo withdrew the Body Cultivator Alliance, condemning Tian Yuan Star as rotten and rejecting the other leaders' conduct. 207
• Xiao Chunwei withdrew the Righteous Qi Alliance after accusing Xuan Rou of unethical Demon Seed research. 208
• The remaining powers abandoned even the appearance of unity, and the Six Alliances ceased to exist. 208

History

Contact with Blue Star

A Tian Yuan Star scientific expedition entered Blue Star six months before Elder Zheng revealed its existence to Qin Wufeng. The team claimed to be researching the martial development of other human civilizations. 93

After studying Blue Star, the expedition concluded that its Martial Dao was immature and flawed, calling it a negative example for Tian Yuan Star's own martial development. 93

The expedition left Elder Zheng a Token with two possible uses:

• Summon Tian Yuan Star experts to aid Blue Star once during a crisis.
• Recommend one Blue Star prodigy to study on Tian Yuan Star. 93

Elder Zheng ultimately used the opportunity to send Jiang Yan to Tian Yuan Star, regarding him as Blue Star's hope for the future. Teacher Su and Cheng Wu arrived by spacecraft to bring him to the planet. 94 95

Jiang Yan's Exchange Period

Jiang Yan entered Silver Radiance Academy, where his Blue Star origin initially drew ridicule from students who believed a one-aperture martial artist could not compare with Tian Yuan cultivators. 97 99

His performance in the Tower of Stars challenged those assumptions:

• He reached the 40th floor and ranked fifth among active challengers. 101
• He cleared the 50th floor, ranking second at Silver Radiance Academy. 101
• He later tied Lin Xianyuan's record at the 73rd floor. 102
• Beyond the 80th floor, he faced True Intent Realm opponents, including Nine-Orifice Prodigies. 103

After Jiang Yan killed the Demon Lord Pei Qin, he became widely known across Tian Yuan Star and prompted renewed scrutiny of Professor Lan's earlier conclusions about Blue Star Martial Dao. 127

Heavenly Demon Crisis

Demons are regarded as an existential threat on Tian Yuan Star. Ten thousand years earlier, Demon Lords ravaged the planet, devouring billions and nearly ending its history. 118

In the present era, the Heavenly Demon Cult Master was body-seized by a Heavenly Demon believed to have been killed ten thousand years earlier. Its return threw Tian Yuan Star into turmoil. 202

• The Heavenly Demon appeared on Di Yuan Star, a prosperous subsidiary planet, and reportedly consumed an entire small city. 210
• Fear of further attacks led to unrest, anti-cult purges, and residents leaving Tian Yuan Star for other worlds. 204
• Five Martial Gods pursued the Heavenly Demon in the starfield but failed to capture it. 217
• While the Martial Gods were absent, Heart Source City was destroyed amid a conspiracy linked to Xiao Chunwei and the Righteous Qi Alliance. 217
