Innate Spiritual Root

The information within the Jade Slip was as vast as a sea of smoke, yet clearly ordered, peeling back one corner of the Earth Immortal Realm's true face for Zhou Qing and Lin Yan.

This place truly had been formed from fragments of the Prehistoric World. Though its Great Dao was still incomplete, it was far more whole than any universe in the Lower Realm, enough to bear the existence of "immortals."

The main body of the Earth Immortal Realm was a boundless continent, with endless living beings and tens of thousands of races.

Mortal kingdoms, cultivation dynasties, immortal sects, and demonic forces were rooted and tangled together, jointly forming the underlying color of this world.

The Xuanhuang Sect was a fairly strong sect within "Xuan Continent" of the Eastern Region. It had a Mysterious Immortal Great Power presiding over it, more than ten True Immortal elders, and countless disciples and members at Merging with Dao and Refining God to Void. It controlled territories spanning hundreds of millions of li, and the mortal nations under its rule numbered in the tens of thousands.

Its attachment to the Jie Sect gave it a certain status and voice within "Xuan Continent," and even across the broader Earth Immortal Realm.

As for cultivation realms, what the Lower Realm called Refining Essence into Qi, Qi Refining to Godhood, Refining God to Void, and Refining Void and Merging with Dao were collectively referred to in this realm as the "Four Mortal Stages."

The true immortal path began with "Tribulation Transcendence."

After reaching perfection in Merging with Dao, one had to stir one's Dao Fruit, question heaven and earth, and summon the "Immortal Ascension Tribulation."

If the tribulation was successfully crossed, one shed the mortal body, forged an "Immortal Body," and condensed an "Imperishable True Spirit."
