Background / History

Grandmaster Taiqing excavated the first known Immortal Mansion on Yanzi Mountain in Qingzhou roughly 2,500 years before the main story. By inheriting an ancient immortal’s legacy, he began the flourishing of the Immortal Path and established Immortal Mansion Year One. 3

Immortal Mansions are commonly regarded as trials and sources of ancient inheritances, but their deeper purpose is not necessarily to pass down power. Xie Zhiyao explains that immortals use them to address their own regrets, while rewarding descendants who complete the associated trial. 241 242

Most ordinary Immortal Mansions present their requirements openly through inscriptions, jade slips, or scrolls; completing the stated process yields prepared rewards and teleports the explorers out. More intricate mansions conceal clues across both their internal worlds and the outside world, sometimes allowing successful explorers to hear from the immortal who created them. 192

Manifestation and Lifecycle

An Immortal Mansion’s arrival is often a prolonged process rather than the sudden opening of a gate.

1. An aphorism emerges from the Immortal Mansion Heavenly Record.
2. A trace of Immortal Spirit breaks through the soil.
3. Immortal Law Silk Weaving manifests in the surrounding area.
4. The Immortal Mansion is completed and opens. 29

This process may last an instant or continue for hundreds of years. During the Immortal Spirit and Law Silk Weaving stages, local demons with exceptional innate gifts may arise; their actions and abilities can serve as clues deliberately left for future successors. 29

A mansion may remain accessible after its principal puzzle has been solved. In such cases, its internal laws continue cycling and rare resources can regrow, making repeated exploration worthwhile despite the loss of its core secret. 36

Dormancy does not follow a universal rule. Some mansions may reopen after a period of time, while others may not revive after being cleared; Moli Immortal Mansion was announced to be entering a dormancy lasting at least a century. 112 90

Rules and Entry Conditions

Every Immortal Mansion operates according to its own Immortal Laws. These laws are treated as iron rules left by immortals, and even the combined power and knowledge of the Three Pure Ones cannot easily alter them. 8 29

Cultivation Restrictions

Cultivation realm is among the most common entry requirements.

• Moli Immortal Mansion only permits Qi Refining cultivators, despite rumors that it contains an Innate Supreme Treasure. 8 32
• Immortal Mansions may restrict explorers to Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or other realms depending on their laws. 166 200
• Stronger cultivation does not necessarily provide an advantage; in Moli, Immortal Flower states that experienced cultivators may be more vulnerable to the temptation of the Immortal Palace. 79

Auspicious Hours

The optimal time to open a mansion gate is calculated from Heavenly Record aphorisms, local omens, the seekers’ birth dates, cultivation, techniques, feng shui, and fortune. Entering at the auspicious hour can make an expedition smoother and may even alter the mansion’s rewards. 162

Unauthorized Exploration

Most Immortal Mansions are administered by the local Dinghuang Prefecture. Entering without authorization makes a cultivator an Immortal Mansion thief, regardless of whether they steal a treasure or merely bypass official entry procedures. 137 268

Classification

Exploration Types

Type	Description
Free Exploration	Explorers are not forced into teams and may cooperate or fight one another. Moli is an example. 137
Cooperative Victory	Explorers entering together are bound into the same camp and must pursue a shared trial. Wangyou was expected to follow this type. 137
Group Confrontation	One of the four broad categories identified by the Immortal Mansion Heavenly Record. 137
Anomaly	A category for Immortal Mansions that do not fit the usual exploration structures. 137

Risk Ratings

Celestial Masters classify Immortal Mansions from Tier One to Tier Five based on interpreted danger. Risk and difficulty are not identical: a lower-risk mansion can still be exceptionally difficult, while even a Tier One mansion can kill careless explorers. 137 140 146

Risk Rating / Example	Notes
Tier One	Considered low risk, but deaths can still occur. The Everlasting Spring Immortal Mansion was rated Tier One despite turning explorers into trees through its “immortality” method. 137 146
Tier Two — Wangyou	Initially assessed as nearly nonfatal, though its delayed manifestation caused it to mutate into the far more dangerous Delusive Immortal Mansion. 137 171
Tier Three — Moli	Reduced to Tier Three after centuries of accumulated knowledge made its outer regions more manageable. 137
Tier Four — Moli, initial rating	Moli was initially rated Tier Four, with the possibility of death approaching half. 137

Administration and Rewards

Immortal Mansion administration varies by location and importance.

• Dinghuang Prefectures may require admission fees, take a percentage of gains, forcibly purchase certain treasures, or combine a buyout fee with revenue sharing. 137 278
• Major expeditions may waive taxes and provide additional rewards for a successful clear, as happened with Delusive Immortal Mansion. 278
• Clearing an Immortal Mansion can grant more than artifacts or cultivation arts; it may also unlock or strengthen the surrounding land’s spiritual veins. 159
• Repeatedly explored mansions can still provide cultivation gains. The Golden Crow Immortal Mansion primarily improves vital blood and mystic spirit rather than offering ordinary treasure drops. 266

Core Mechanics

Immortal Mansion Heavenly Record

The Immortal Mansion Heavenly Record is an immortal treasure associated with Grandmaster Taiqing and the first Immortal Mansion on Yanzi Mountain. It documents knowledge concerning Immortal Mansions throughout the Nine Provinces, though its obscure text requires Celestial Masters to interpret it into usable aphorisms. 89

Immortal Fate

Immortal Fate refers to the opportunities, inheritances, rewards, and special circumstances tied to an explorer’s connection with an Immortal Mansion. It can compensate for weak Spirit Root aptitude, grant rare methods, and determine an explorer’s standing within a mansion’s scenario. 8 178

Myriad Hearts Delusion Cocoon

The Myriad Hearts Delusion Cocoon is a foundational treasure capable of generating a Wondrous Realm when nourished with sufficient vital blood. Such a realm can form part of an Immortal Mansion’s underlying structure, though the cocoon alone cannot create a complete mansion without an immortal’s involvement. 181 196

Known Immortal Mansions

Immortal Mansion	Known Characteristics
Moli Immortal Mansion	A Qi Refining-level mansion in the Ten Thousand Li Gray Plains northwest of Feng Prefecture. It appeared in Immortal Mansion Year 2225, remains unsolved after centuries, and is called the Heavenly Absolute Immortal Mansion. Its three-layer structure traces a demon’s path from swamp, to human civilization, to the Immortal Palace. 32 77 89
Wangyou Immortal Mansion	A Foundation Establishment-level cooperative trial centered on maintaining a dreamlike Wondrous Realm where humans and Mountain Spirits coexist. Its normal clear condition involves discovering and repairing flaws in the dream. 137 194 195
Delusive Immortal Mansion	A mutated prelude to Wangyou caused when Wangyou’s manifestation passed its calamity hour. Its scenario involves Mountain Spirit rule, the Heaven-Piercing Tower, the Cloud Barrier, and the Myriad Hearts Delusion Cocoon. Clearing it grants a superior ticket to Zhuoquan. 171 168 194
Flower-Gathering Immortal Mansion	A mansion ruled by Xie Zhiyao. Its entry trial demands “sincerity money,” while a later round requires participants to entertain a fairy behind a screen. It continues opening every three years even if its mistress returns to the Immortal Realm. 230 234 242
Golden Crow Immortal Mansion	A repeatedly explored demon-nest scenario centered on endurance and concealment. Its tangible treasures were refined into the Golden Crow Great Demon’s single eye, while its primary rewards are improvements to cultivation and vital blood. 266 271
Zhuoquan Immortal Mansion	A large-scale mansion built around four interconnected Pool Kingdoms and the Immortal Invitation Book. Its trial combines personal cultivation, political governance, national fortune, and relations with mortal populations. 253 254 293 300

Wangyou and Delusion

Wangyou and Delusive Immortal Mansions are linked stages of the same design.

• Delusion is Wangyou’s prelude and underlying hue. 194
• If the Heaven-Piercing Tower were completed and the Mountain Spirit King activated the Myriad Hearts Delusion Cocoon, the resulting Limitless Wondrous Realm would become Wangyou. 194
• Wangyou’s intended trial is to preserve and extend that dream by repairing its flaws. 194
• Entering Delusive Immortal Mansion and reversing its “history” provides a superior ticket to Zhuoquan, while clearing Wangyou normally provides an inferior one. 194
• Wangyou’s dream is intentionally deceptive: explorers may appear as powerful “Honorary Mountain Spirits,” making it easier for them to accept the Mountain Spirits’ dominance rather than recognize the realm’s flaws. 195
