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

Ancient Star Lanes, also called Void Thoroughfares, once linked parts of the Real Realm. They were created through Divine Patterns and enabled the ancient King’s survivors to leave Earth for the stars. 562

The Mysterious Maiden Star System is politically fragmented, with autonomous planets rather than a unified authority comparable to the Feathering Star System. 603

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
• Even Immortal Kings and Immortal Emperors ordinarily cannot enter the Void Realm; at most, beings with special means can establish a limited connection and observe it. 410

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

Ancient murals attribute the invention of Divine Patterns and the Martial Scripture to a figure known as the King, who created them to fight the Contamination that once engulfed Earth. 562

Spirit Treasures

Spirit Treasures are divided into Post-celestial Spirit Treasures and Pre-celestial Spirit Treasures. Post-celestial Spirit Treasures are further classified as ordinary, rare, Epic, or Legendary, while Pre-celestial Spirit Treasures are substantially more exceptional. 366 566

Immortal Qi Distribution

The classification of planets into Special-Class, First-Class, Second-Class, and Third-Class Stars is an artificial system established by the Holy Dragon Society. The organization altered the distribution of Immortal Qi throughout the Heaven River Galaxy, concentrating it on a limited number of Special-Class Stars. 408

Planetary Formations

The Seven Luminaries Immortal Array can operate on a planetary scale. When deployed through the Seven Luminaries Points, it permits its users to manipulate a planet’s terrain, gravity, mountains, waters, and other natural forces as weapons. 573

The array’s complete deployment method is recorded on a golden disc obtained from the Ares Royal Family. Chen Yi intends to use it to defend planets including Spirit Micro Star and Blaze Star. 574

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	Also rendered as the Desperate Realm; cultivators begin comprehending Divine Abilities, including the 72 Earthly Fiend Divine Abilities. 379 449 450
Heaven-Reaching Realm	Cultivators may comprehend the 36 Heavenly Constellation Divine Abilities. 379
Immortal Lord	The first stage of the Law-Wielding Realm. Immortal Lords must comprehend Laws, wield Immortal Power rather than Divine Power, and can hold important positions within major powers and royal families. 572 624
Immortal King	A designation within the Domain-Wielding Realm, a collective term encompassing nine realms. The Divine Firmament Realm is its first realm. Immortal Kings may serve as the peak combat power of major forces and can remain hidden among ordinary people to evade persecution. 438 548 616
Immortal Emperor	The supreme ruler of a galaxy; even an Immortal Emperor is stated to be unable to govern across multiple galaxies. 367

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

At the Law-Wielding Realm, the Origin Core remains a cultivator’s core, but the energy circulating between it and the body evolves from Divine Power to Immortal Power, which supports the use of Laws and domains. 624

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
• On Second-Class and Third-Class Stars, ordinary Human Race members are commonly reduced to slavery or similarly harsh conditions. 438
• Some Human Race Immortal Lords and Immortal Kings conceal themselves as mortals on First-Class Stars, where powerful Alien Race forces are less likely to notice them. 438
• Chen Yi’s conquests in the Mysterious Maiden Star System eliminated numerous local Alien Race tyrants and reduced pressure on Human Race communities, though the system remained under Alien Race control. 603 605

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
Holy Dragon Society	The dominant power of the Heaven River Galaxy. It controls the distribution of Immortal Qi and uses organizations such as the Peace Bureau to implement planned operations across its territory. 408 552
Demon Dragon Kingdom	The successor name of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom after its decades of expansion through the Mysterious Maiden Star System. It controls Blaze Star, several conquered Second-Class and Third-Class Stars, and an important Star Lane, but remains a vassal state of the Ares Immortal Kingdom. 603 605

Underworld Domains

Ghost Cultivators established Underworld Domains outside normal worlds to collect the souls of deceased beings and transfer them to the Soul Sea. These domains do not directly affect the material world and have spread across many star systems, including the Tianhe Star System. 435

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

Ancient murals on Earth record that the planet was once overwhelmed by Contamination. The King created Divine Patterns and the Martial Scripture to save humanity, then led survivors into the wider starry sky through the Void Thoroughfares. 562

The Human Emperor’s public justification for the World War was that victory would allow all worlds to ascend to immortality. Later accounts indicate that his underlying objective was to resist the Real Realm. 466

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
• Creatures native to the Real Realm can traverse the Ascension Path without facing the resistance encountered by Void Realm natives. 336
• With the Sword Master’s sword intent assisting at the entrance, ten people ascended to the Real Realm over the sixty-four years following Chen Yi’s departure. 531
• Chen Yi later returned to the Human World after sixty-four years in the Real Realm, proving that return is possible under exceptional circumstances. 531

Other Methods

• Martial Void-Breaking is one known theoretical route, but Chen Yi’s attempts were obstructed by purple lightning before he could enter the Real Realm. 266 304
• A person may also enter through an invitation or guidance from a powerful being of the Real Realm. 266
• Real Realm natives displaced into the Void Realm may be drawn back when a suitable passage opens, as the Real Realm’s laws pull objects originating from it toward the rift. 417 418

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
• Chen Yi later clears the Winged God Sect’s headquarters on Fortune Star with the Myriad Souls Banner, expelling its living occupants while preserving the complex itself. 478
• After the Heavenly Sha Alliance unifies its territory, Chen Yi establishes the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom. The Human Race is barred from its founding ceremony, reinforcing his awareness of humanity’s plight throughout the Real Realm. 517
• On Abo Star, Chen Yi defeats eight Ares Royal Family Immortal Lords and acquires the deployment method of the Seven Luminaries Immortal Array for future planetary defense. 572 573 574
• Chen Yi later expands the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom across the Mysterious Maiden Star System, conquering Sunrise Star, Sunset Star, and five Third-Class Stars before the kingdom is renamed the Demon Dragon Kingdom. 603 605
• On Tianmang Star, Chen Yi follows the resonance of a Thunder Beast horn into a thundercloud and battles an Immortal Lord-level Thunder Beast for three days before both sides begin negotiating. 594
• Chen Yi gathers Human Race elites for an expedition to Holy Wing Star after the growing danger of exposure makes further delay untenable. 605
• After securing Holy Wing Star as Human Race territory, Chen Yi reunites with Li Lingyue and travels with her across Orchid Star, Hollow Bone Star, and Big Fish Star before returning to Holy Wing Star to cultivate. 622
• Chen Yi subsequently reaches the Law-Wielding Realm and becomes an Immortal Lord after comprehending the Laws required for his breakthrough. 624
