History
At its height, the Immortal Crossing Gate sect carved out a unique starry-sky world known as the Immortal Realm. Time moved differently within it: one outside day equaled one year in the realm. Numerous Immortal Crossing Gates served as passages into it, though their total number is unknown. 1590
The Purple Realm Alliance later defeated the Immortal Crossing Gate. Before the sect's destruction, its Immortal Realm shattered into countless fragments that drifted through the star field and became the Immortal Crossing Gates near Purple Realm Stars. 1557
Despite the ruin of its sect and the deaths of its immortals, the fragments retained inheritances and “immortal destiny.” Survivors could obtain an inheritance within the ruins, cultivate there for decades, then leave and undergo heavenly tribulation to become immortals. 1580
The realm's final destruction was tied to the Moon-Shooting Chariot. Ye Tian determined that the Profound Immortal Daoist had merged with the chariot, causing the destruction of the Immortal Realm; when the chariot was removed, the Immortal Crossing Gate world collapsed. 1610 1589
Immortal Crossing Gate Fragments
| Feature | Function and condition |
|---|---|
| Immortal Crossing Gates | Cracked gateways that once connected the starry sky to the Immortal Realm; they remained near Purple Realm Stars after the realm shattered. 1590 1557 |
| Immortal Crossing Boat | A vessel capable of entering the Immortal Crossing Gates; Purple Realm Stars possessed such boats because of their proximity to the fragments. 1557 |
| Moon-Shooting Chariot | A Rule Divine Artifact sought by the Purple Realm Alliance; its fragmentation was central to the collapse of the Immortal Realm. 1557 1580 1610 |
| Purple Realm Stars | Trading planets established by the Purple Realm Alliance near gate remnants to control access and collect materials for restoring the Moon-Shooting Chariot. 1580 |
Immortal Crossing Gate World
Entrants into the shattered Immortal Crossing Gate could encounter a world that appeared to be the sect at its peak, populated by figures who had actually died tens of thousands of years earlier. This phenomenon was not considered an ordinary illusion, but something that transcended illusion and reality. 1585
A fragment could not bear the presence of a Profound Immortal. Zi Kan concluded that extending even her cultivation, consciousness, or physical body into the shattered realm would make it collapse; she instead sent a weakened water-droplet clone to investigate. 1588
Realm Hierarchy
| Stage / Title | Recorded characteristics |
|---|---|
| True Immortal | The first true qualification for pursuing the fundamental Great Dao; cultivates immortal power, which may be condensed into immortal jade. 2070 |
| Heavenly Immortal | Reached by using one’s comprehended Dao to form an independent space within the divine soul. 2070 |
| Profound Immortal | Formed when the nascent soul’s internal secret realm merges into a complete world; ordinarily the highest combat ceiling of the Myriad Realms. 1552 1968 |
| Golden Immortal | Has transcended Heavenly Dao tribulations and attained immortality; forcibly retaining one in a lower world can draw an Immortal Envoy. 1552 1964 |
| Grand Unity Golden Immortal | A higher realm associated with the creation of a Great Thousand World and deep control of spatial principles. 1987 |
| Grand Luo Golden Immortal | Surpasses ordinary Great Dao sensing and touches Space, Time, and Destiny; the peak requires the unification of myriad Daos. 1987 2007 |
| Immortal Emperor | An apex Immortal Realm existence; its realm is stated to be at least the peak of Grand Luo Golden Immortal. 2005 |
| Quasi-Saint | A realm above the Immortal Emperor-level powers discussed in the conflict with Ao Cheng Immortal King; Saints are described as manifestations of the Great Dao itself. 1984 1982 |
Rule and Access
| Authority / mechanism | Role |
|---|---|
| Immortal Emperor | Commands the Immortal Realm Gate and governs through decrees issued in immortal script. 2008 |
| Immortal Realm Gate | Traditionally judges and selects ascendants. An edict later allowed all cultivators with True Immortal-level strength to enter directly without tribulation or judgment. 2008 |
| Immortal Realm Envoys | Descend into lower worlds using Immortal Realm Edicts; such edicts can override a lower realm’s rules and laws. 1981 |
| Immortal Court | Responds to threats within the realm and mobilizes cultivators ranging from True Immortals to Grand Luo Golden Immortals. 2009 |
Following the collapse of Jianmu, cultivators who reached sufficient strength were required to enter through an Immortal Realm-established gate rather than ascend independently. The gate tempered entrants’ spiritual energy, though its refinement was considered far inferior to the former Jianmu path. 1980
The Immortal Realm also limits lower worlds from retaining powerful ascendants. Some major worlds prepare methods to keep Profound Immortals as ancestors, but retaining a Golden Immortal risks drawing an envoy to take them away. 1964
Relations with the Myriad Realms
- Purple Realm Alliance — Defeated the Immortal Crossing Gate, established Purple Realm Stars beside its remnants, and sent investigators into fragments every seven thousand years to recover the Moon-Shooting Chariot. 1557 1580
- Profound Yellow World — Received Immortal Realm envoys during its origin crisis; the envoy’s descent distorted the world’s space because its weakened origin could not bear such power. 1981
- Divine Realm — Views the Immortal Realm as its eventual rival and seeks sufficient origin power to accommodate Quasi-Saint-level beings. 1999 2000
- Immortal Crossing Gate — The former sect associated with the original Immortal Realm and its network of gateways. 1590
