Geography

  • Wuzhou is the undisputed central province and the most prosperous region of the Nine Provinces. Its area is comparable to two Qingzhous, its population exceeds thirty billion, and it contains twenty-seven prefectures. 137 147
  • Liuchong Mountain in Wuzhou is the site of the Martial Emperor's Lost Palace. 120 137
  • The continent is considered a remote small world when viewed from the wider starry sky; on Yuanhe Divine Palace's star map, it appears as a faint point of light. 183 214
  • The region containing the Nine Provinces falls under the Time God Kingdom, a divine kingdom within the domain of the North Cang Divine Emperor. 213 214
  • Its waters—including rivers, lakes, and seas—responded to Lin Yi during the battle against the Black Tortoise Blood Soul, lending him their momentum. This was described as a response from the world rather than complete control over it. 206 207

History

Period / Event Outcome
Martial Emperor era The Martial Emperor united Jiuzhou, established the Sacred Martial Dynasty, secured human dominance, and ruled for three hundred years before ascending into the void. 6
Before the Martial Emperor's ascension To prevent his descendants from being unable to control the realm, the Martial Emperor dissolved the Sacred Martial Dynasty and placed much of his collected wealth within the Martial Emperor's Lost Palace. 120
War against the Great Yuan Dynasty The Myriad Phenomena Tower, Tianshan Sect, Buddhist Sect, Zuowang Daoist Sect, Wanlong Chamber of Commerce, and other major powers declared war on the Great Yuan Dynasty, spreading conflict throughout the continent. 179
Unification under Tianshan Sect After Lin Yi split the Yuan Imperial Palace with a single saber strike, Martial Saints and major forces submitted to the Tianshan Sect. Within a month, the continent was unified under its command. 192
Three Mountains Family invasion Successive invaders from the Three Mountains Family exposed the Nine Provinces' vulnerability as an unregistered small world. Lin Yi killed Sanshan Helong, ending the immediate crisis. 213
Formation of the Nine Provinces Alliance Lin Yi consolidated the continent's principal factions into an alliance for shared resources, intelligence, talent cultivation, and starry-sky defense. 213
Legal-recognition effort Lin Yi traveled to the Time God Kingdom to gain recognition and protection for the Nine Provinces. Its registration application was later submitted through the Yuan Star Realm Lord's Inner Court. 213 233

Martial Heritage

  • The Martial Emperor's legacy shaped much of the Nine Provinces' martial civilization:
    • He left behind Bronze Automata used for martial training. 6
    • Alchemy, artifact crafting, and numerous other practices are described as having been founded or preserved through his legacies. 6
    • The Willpower Stone Pillar, used to measure and temper willpower, was also left by the Martial Emperor. 91 108
  • The Martial Emperor's Lost Palace is regarded as the foremost treasure land and ultimate opportunity in the Nine Provinces. 120
  • Xiantian Grandmasters are recorded on the Heaven Ranking and Earth Ranking, maintained by the Myriad Phenomena Tower. 78

Major Powers

Nine Provinces Alliance

The alliance was established after the Three Mountains Family crisis, with the stated purpose of preventing the continent's forces from remaining fragmented in the face of future starry-sky threats. 213

  • Tianshan Sect — Formerly the authority under which the continent was unified; remains a central alliance member. 192 213
  • Myriad Phenomena Tower — A peak power with branches across the Nine Provinces; historically neutral and unrivaled in intelligence gathering. 104 213
  • Zuowang Daoist Sect — Alliance member. 213
  • Great Zen Vajra Temple — Alliance member. 213
  • Wanlong Chamber of Commerce — Alliance member and major commercial power. 108 213
  • Shanhai Sect — Alliance member. 213
  • One-Character Sword Pavilion — Alliance member. 213

Alliance Policy

  • Member factions retain their own inheritances and mountain gates. 213
  • Resources, intelligence, talent cultivation, and starry-sky defense are centrally coordinated. 213
  • Ancestor Yan Hui was appointed to oversee the alliance during Lin Yi's absence. 213

External Threats

  • Before its recognition, the Nine Provinces lacked formal legitimacy and protection in the wider starry sky, making it a potential target for families, sects, merchant guilds, and world hunters. 213
  • San Shanchong's force and the Three Mountains Family's White River Branch treated the Nine Provinces as a world they could conquer or exploit. 194 213
  • Yuan Yi identified recognition through the Time God Kingdom's system as the lasting solution: a legitimate world of life would be protected from arbitrary invasion. 213
  • The Primordial Unity Tower in Primal Unity Divine City was identified as Lin Yi's fastest route to gaining the influence needed to advance the Nine Provinces' legal status. 213 214
