History

The Primordial World was created when Pangu, born from the Chaos Azure Lotus, used his Heaven-Opening axe to shatter the boundless chaos. The Three Thousand Chaos Devil Gods resisted the change and were annihilated during the Heaven-Opening tribulation. Exhausted after creating the new world, Pangu’s body transformed into its myriad spirits. 1

Unlike the dead silence of chaos, the newly formed world became a flourishing realm of life, nourished by the remnants of the Chaos Devil Gods and Pangu’s still-unrealized potential. 1

In the aftermath of the Ferocious Beast Calamity, the Northern Continent was devastated by war and lingering Chaos Sha. The Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans had begun to rise, while the world stood in the brief calm before the Dragon-Han Catastrophe. 1 8

Regions and Landmarks

Location	Description
Northern Darkness / North Sea	Homeland of Guiyuan and Kunpeng. It contains accumulated malevolent energy and is associated with the Mysterious Turtle’s water-aligned origin. 2 6
Northern Continent	A desolate region scarred by the Ferocious Beast Calamity; its spiritual energy is thin, its spirit veins damaged, and dense Sha Qi remains throughout its interior. 1 7 8
Changbai Mountain	The Northern Continent’s Ancestral Vein. Once a flourishing spiritual land, it was corrupted into a source of Sha Qi while the wounded Taowu King occupied it. 10
Mount Buzhou	The Ancestral Vein of the entire Primordial World and a mountain formed from Pangu’s spine. Its active Heavenly Dao, dense Dao resonance, and residual pressure make it a major cultivation ground. 17
Sea of Blood	The birthplace and domain of Styx, an Innate Sacred associated with slaughter and several powerful Innate Treasures. 11

Natural Order

Dao and Laws

The Primordial World’s Three Thousand Great Daos are obscure and hidden. Most beings must first comprehend their corresponding Laws before approaching the Dao itself; Innate Sacreds possess a more direct connection to the Dao through their origins. 24

The world’s Dao differs fundamentally from that of the Eternal Life Great World. Its unrevealed Three Thousand Great Daos are described as more adaptable for deriving an individual path, rather than merely following established techniques. 17 24

Origin Foundations

Rank	Description
Postnatal Beings	A lower tier of origin foundation; none are stated to exist in the current era. 21
Innate Beings	The most common class of living beings in the current Primordial World, generally born from Innate Sacreds. 21
Innate Sacreds	Manifestations of the Dao whose existence can clarify Dao principles and increase a region’s fortune. 3

The earliest Innate Sacreds, including Guiyuan and the founders of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin clans, are noted for exceptionally strong physical foundations. Later beings tend more toward comprehending and employing the Laws of Heaven and Earth. 22

Cultivation

Taiyi and Daluo are established major realms, though the route to Daluo requires a cultivator to identify and consolidate their own Dao foundation or Dao Fruit. 3 7 16

Daluo beings are extraordinarily difficult to kill: if even a thread of their true nature remains, they can reconverge through time. 14

Spiritual Treasures

Classification

Type	Origin and characteristics
Heaven-after spiritual treasures	Refined by cultivators from materials. They may be powerful, but their laws are incomplete and retain the limitations of their maker. 4
Heaven-made spiritual treasures	Formed during, or shortly after, the creation of Heaven and Earth. They contain complete Great Dao laws and possess greater innate mystery and power. 4

Innate Restrictions

Grade	Innate Restrictions
Low-grade Innate Treasure	1–12
Mid-grade Innate Treasure	13–24
High-grade Innate Treasure	25–36
Top-grade Innate Treasure	37–48
Innate Supreme Treasure	49

Innate Restrictions arise naturally from the Great Dao, unlike the artificially refined restrictions of Acquired Treasures. 6

Merit, Luck, and Karma

Merit and luck are major protections within the Primordial World. Destroying beings who possess substantial merit may bring karmic retribution, while restoring damaged lands and cleansing harmful Sha Qi can earn recognition from Heaven and Earth. 6 8

Treasures and opportunities are governed by fate: they may be drawn by a cultivator’s luck or merit, but acquiring them can also consume those same reserves. 18

The Three Clans are favored by the Heavenly Mandate during the current era, giving even later-generation members cultivation and influence comparable to powerful Innate Sacreds. 21

Sha Qi and Ferocious Beasts

Sha Qi is a corrupting force left behind by the Ferocious Beast Calamity and the remnants of Chaos Devil Gods. It damages spiritual treasures, erodes spiritual energy, pollutes land, and can interfere with a cultivator’s Dao. 1 8 10 16

Ferocious Beasts are associated with the Chaos Dao and Chaos Sha, which are fundamentally hostile to the Primordial World’s ordered Dao. The four foremost Ferocious Beast lineages were Qiongqi, Taotie, Taowu, and Chaos, each formerly led by a Daluo-level king. 9 17

Despite its destructive nature, Sha Qi can be refined into treasures, pills, formations, or methods of attack by cultivators able to control it. 8 17
