Biodata
| Feature | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Real Realm |
| Original Name | 实界 |
| Classification | A vast higher-order universe distinct from the Void Realm |
| Status | Extant |
| First Appearance | Chapter 167 |
Nature and Cosmology
The Real Realm is a boundless universe of stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies. Individual planets may resemble the Void Realm’s worlds, but its true scale lies in its sea of stars. 167 473
| Cosmic scale | Description |
|---|---|
| Star system | A star, its planets, comets, asteroids, and associated celestial bodies. |
| Star realm | A collection of many star systems. |
| Galaxy | Formed from the five great star realms—East, South, West, North, and Central. |
| Galactic rule | An Immortal Emperor is stated to be capable of ruling a single galaxy, but not multiple galaxies. 367 |
The Real Realm’s laws are more complete, solid, and restrictive than those of the Void Realm. A cultivator or artifact does not necessarily lose its intrinsic power upon arrival; rather, the stronger environment suppresses abilities that were easy to use in lower-order worlds. 343
Relationship with the Void Realm
The Void Realm’s cultivation paths are capped at the Martial God Realm. Entering the Real Realm opens a longer path toward immortality, though ascendants from the Void Realm have historically faced unknown obstacles to becoming immortal. 226
- The Real Realm is separated from the Void Realm by a barrier stronger than an ordinary World Barrier, making communication and travel extremely difficult. 252
- Travel from the Real Realm to the Void Realm is stated to be far more difficult than ascension in the opposite direction. 265
- Real Realm projections can enter the Void Realm and interact with its inhabitants, but cannot directly affect Void Realm matter. 410
- When a passage opens, objects originally belonging to the Real Realm may be pulled back by its laws, while native Void Realm objects remain unaffected. 418
- Direct Martial Void-Breaking attempts to reach the Real Realm have been repelled by purple lightning, suggesting that ascension is obstructed by an external force. 304
World Rules
Suppression of Void Realm Abilities
New arrivals from the Void Realm may find that abilities once considered ordinary no longer function at their former level.
- Spiritual Sense and free flight are unavailable to low-level cultivators; a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator cannot simply fly or project Spiritual Sense. 343
- Shattering space, which can be achieved in the Void Realm by high-level Martial Artists, is vastly more difficult under the Real Realm’s spatial laws. 343
- Void Realm storage rings may degrade into ordinary Dharma Artifacts and lose their independent storage spaces. 343
- Immortal Artifacts brought from the Void Realm are generally treated as high-level Dharma Artifacts in the Real Realm. The re-refined Myriad Souls Banner is an exception, retaining its Artifact Spirit as a Spirit Treasure. 356
Divine Patterns
Divine Patterns are widely used techniques in the Real Realm, but they must be adapted to the rules of the environment in which they are used. A Divine Pattern suited to one world cannot necessarily be used unchanged in another plane or Small World. 325
Cultivation System
Upon entering the Real Realm, Chen Yi’s former Martial Saint cultivation was reclassified as the Sixth Turn of Qi Transformation; the Entry System likewise adjusted its terminology from “Martial Artist” to “Cultivator” without changing its effects. 343
| Realm | Known details |
|---|---|
| Postnatal Martial Artist | Corresponds to the Void Realm’s Body Refining, Spirit Gathering, and Soul Tempering stages. 351 |
| Innate Martial Artist | Corresponds to Golden Body, Spirit Sea, and Spirit Condensation. 351 |
| Qi Transformation Realm | Has nine minor turns; cultivators develop True Qi and may practice Dharma Spells or Killing Moves. 351 |
| Core Formation Realm | Cultivators develop an Origin Core, and True Qi transforms into Origin Qi. 365 |
| Desolate Realm | Cultivators begin comprehending Divine Abilities, including the 72 Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities. 379 |
| Heaven-Reaching Realm | Cultivators may comprehend the 36 Heavenly Constellation Divine Abilities. 379 |
Cultivation is not limited to Qi Refining. Once a body is strong enough to endure Immortal Qi, different races may follow other paths, though Qi Refining remains the most common route. 351
Society and Power Structure
Bloodline Theory
Real Realm society is heavily shaped by “bloodline theory.” A race’s political status depends largely on which dominant race controls a region and how closely it is associated with that ruling group. 367
- On Fortune Star, the Winged God Sect privileges the Winged Race. 367
- In the Heavenly Sha Sect’s territory on Blaze Star, the Dragon Person Race holds the highest status. 367
- The Human Race is generally treated as the lowest-status race despite being highly populous. 367
- Human language remains widely dominant, implying that the Human Race once held a much greater position in the Real Realm. 349
Known Political Forces
| Force type | Description |
|---|---|
| Churches | Religious organizations that gather cultivators under a deity or doctrine and govern both members and local commoners; the Winged God Sect is one example. 478 |
| Immortal Kingdoms | Star-realm-scale states with emperors, ministers, armies, central governments, and local governments. 478 |
| Sects and families | Independent cultivation organizations; sufficiently powerful ones can avoid taxation or direct control by immortal kingdoms. 479 |
History
The Human Ancestor is said to have entered the Real Realm in the distant Ancient Era and used supreme immortal arts to establish the Ascension Path between the Human World and the Real Realm. The path later vanished for unknown reasons; even the last Human Emperor, who lived thirty thousand years ago, failed to locate it. 314
Thirty thousand years ago, the Human World was the Core of Ten Thousand Races and could communicate with the Real Realm relatively conveniently. Information, cultivation methods, and technology could be transmitted even when physical return remained impossible. 466
Over time, knowledge obtained from the Real Realm became a strategic resource. The Desolate Ancient Remnant People sought the Ascension Path because their descendants could send back knowledge, technology, cultivation methods, and information after establishing themselves in the Real Realm. 323
Access to the Real Realm
Ascension Path
The Ascension Path is the most direct known route from the Human World to the Real Realm. It presents travelers with repeated Life-or-Death choices; Chen Yi’s successful route required choosing “Death” through 999 consecutive paths. 342
- Martial Saints can stand on the path but may be rejected by its overwhelming resistance. 334
- The path is treated as a farewell between life and death, since travelers are generally not expected to return. 335
- Upon arrival, ascendants may lose access to Void Realm Spiritual Sense and flight until they meet the Real Realm’s cultivation requirements. 342 343
Chen Yi’s Encounters
- Chen Yi first learns of the Real Realm when a long-haired woman opens a spatial rift and reveals a star-filled universe beyond the Void Realm. 167
- He later meets a purple-clad woman who confirms that she is only a projection from the Real Realm. 265
- Chen Yi enters the Real Realm through the Ascension Path and initially finds its surface environment deceptively similar to the Human World. 342
- His first arrival demonstrates the realm’s danger: the Old Demon Hag defeats him, seizes the Myriad Souls Banner, and leaves him severely injured. 345
