Background / History

Tianshan Pavilion was established by Tianshanzi, the founding ancestor of the Tianshan Sect, specifically to cultivate Martial Dao geniuses. It was founded after Tianshanzi discovered three Martial Emperor legacy treasures more than a thousand years earlier and installed them as the pavilion’s training foundation. 48 69

The pavilion’s resources have enabled the Tianshan Sect to produce numerous Xiantian experts over the centuries. The sect credits the Three Treasures as a major factor in its expansion from control of five prefectures to eight. 69

Located on Tianshan Mountain’s perpetually snow-covered summit, the pavilion is a vast complex of continuous buildings resembling an “ice and snow kingdom.” Its internal affairs and information are highly confidential; even ordinary Tianshan Sect elders generally lack access to them. 68

Admission & Training

• Entry is highly competitive. Its disciples are regarded as peerless prodigies, and favored geniuses from other Qingzhou prefectures—or even other provinces—may have their factions purchase limited training places from the Tianshan Sect. 48 59
• A formal disciple is issued a silver identity token after signing confidentiality agreements and related protocols. 68
• Disciples normally cultivate at the pavilion for five years, during which the pavilion aims to assist them in reaching the Xiantian realm. 68
• The pavilion held one hundred disciples across five generations at the time of Lin Yi’s arrival. 68
• Lin Yi entered without examination after the pavilion’s leadership confirmed that he met its admission threshold; Wang Yu was dispatched as reception envoy to escort him from Dongshan Martial Academy. 67
• Even exceptionally talented disciples are expected to undergo the Tianshan Sect’s down-the-mountain trials. Tianshanzi’s principle was that true powerhouses require battle and hardship rather than protected cultivation alone. 101

Tianshan Three Treasures

The Tianshan Three Treasures are Martial Emperor legacy relics and the pavilion’s central cultivation resources. Formal disciples may use them free of charge. 68 69

Red Dragon Mother Pool

A massive golden pool roughly one hundred zhang across, decorated with thirty-six carved golden dragons. It is the source pool for the Red Dragon Pools distributed to prefectural martial academies. 69

• Tianshanzi discovered one mother pool and thirty-five sub-pools in Yangyuan Mountain, Chuzhou. 69
• The pavilion houses the mother pool, while the sub-pools were assigned to major prefecture-city martial academies under the Tianshan Sect. 69
• Unlike sub-pool water, water from the mother pool retains its effects after being removed from the pool. 69
• One hundred disciple rooms are connected to the pool through underground pipes, allowing every pavilion disciple to benefit from it. 69
• Its energy is far greater than that of the Red Dragon sub-pools. 69

Myriad Laws Stone Wall

An emerald-green stone wall approximately five meters square, situated in a valley within the pavilion. 69

• It can generate a perfect opponent for any martial artist below Xiantian who focuses their mental intent on it. 69
• The generated opponent practices the user’s own martial art and is tailored to expose flaws and loopholes in that art. 69
• It is used to accelerate martial-skill cultivation and advancement in the realm of force exertion. 69
• It cannot assist cultivation of martial arts at or above the Xiantian realm. 197

Willpower Stone Pillar

A black pillar more than two hundred meters tall and over ten meters in diameter, standing in an ice-and-snow plaza at Tianshan Pavilion’s summit. 70 88

• It emits oppressive willpower shockwaves that challenge users with immense pressure and illusions. 70 73
• It is considered one of the best treasures below Xiantian for tempering willpower in the Jiuzhou World. 71
• Tempering willpower strengthens the Spiritual Soul, a crucial requirement for breaking through to Xiantian. 71
• A user knocked unconscious by the pillar’s impact cannot effectively challenge it again for one month, as doing so causes severe headaches without providing further benefit. 71
• Reaching deeper distance thresholds from the pillar earns Tianshan Coin rewards. 71
• Lin Yi reached the top-500-meter range upon entering the pavilion, then set a Tianshan Sect record by reaching the 389-meter mark three months later. 75 90
• After a further year and five months of cultivation, Lin Yi advanced to the 206-meter mark; he subsequently reached the 175-meter mark in another challenge. 100 113

Tianshan Coin

Tianshan Coin is Tianshan Pavilion’s internal currency. Only pavilion disciples and teachers can obtain it. 68

Exchange rule	Tianshan Coins may be exchanged for silver, but silver cannot be exchanged for Tianshan Coins. 68

Tianshan Grand Competition Rewards

The Tianshan Grand Competition is held every quarter. All five generations of pavilion disciples participate, receive rankings based on performance, and are awarded Tianshan Coins accordingly. 68

Placement	Reward
1st	2,000 Tianshan Coins
2nd	1,500 Tianshan Coins
3rd	1,000 Tianshan Coins
11th–30th	500 Tianshan Coins
31st–50th	300 Tianshan Coins
51st–100th	150 Tianshan Coins

The documented reward list also gives an overlapping “third to tenth” bracket of 800 Tianshan Coins, creating an unresolved inconsistency with the separately stated third-place reward. 68
