Power Progression
| Stage / Realm / Level | Chapter | Notes |

Background and History
Great Tang was established roughly eight centuries before the present story by a founding emperor who conquered the realm through martial force. The dynasty's Grand Ancestor, Li Tianyuan, later gathered the dragon qi of the Nine Provinces and nearly renewed the collapsed Central Yellow Imperial Position lineage before other Daoist lineages jointly suppressed him. 20 357
The dynasty occupies a corner of the Eastern Territory, the world's most resource-rich region. Although its lands are fertile and strategically valuable, Great Tang's cultivation foundation was historically far weaker than that of the surrounding Daoist lineages, demon courts, and sects. 396
Chang'an is both the imperial capital and the gathering place of Great Tang's dragon qi. The Li Imperial Clan's High Ancestor remained in the city for centuries partly because the Purple Star Imperial Qi Art can draw upon this concentrated national fortune. 376
Longyou Circuit forms part of Great Tang's northwestern frontier. Bordering the Western Regions and grassland tribes, it is heavily militarized and protected by imperial forces and protectorates. 3
Government and Institutions
| Institution | Role |
|---|---|
| Imperial Court | Governs Great Tang under the Emperor and the Li Imperial Clan. The Emperor issues decrees, commands military responses, and oversees national projects such as temple construction. 320 436 |
| Demon Suppression Bureau | An office directly under imperial command, outside the Three Departments and Six Ministries. It may execute court traitors and slay demons before reporting afterward. 20 |
| Demon Suppression Bureau General Command | The Bureau's central command in Chang'an, guarded by Bone-Resonating Realm martial artists. 141 |
| Martial Temple | An important institution connected to martial inheritance and Spirit Seals. 153 215 |
| Imperial High Ancestor | A Li-clan protector based in Chang'an who can harness Great Tang's dragon qi in battle. 376 |
Golden Body Method and State Worship
Jiang Yuechu pursued the Incense Divine Path because Great Tang's territory was too large for a single protector to defend. The method allowed the dynasty to use collective worship and national destiny as a source of cultivation and protection. 409
- Temples were built across prefectures and counties under imperial decree. 436
- Lu Changfeng crafted nine Golden Bodies using Phoenix-Tree Heart material; each was modeled after Jiang Yuechu and infused with power. 469
- Jiang Yuechu manifested and recorded nine distinct Golden Body Methods, allowing Great Tang martial artists to cultivate derived techniques through the statues. 472
- The Black-Robed Dharma Image was selected to preside over Chang'an's principal temple. 473
- Jiang Yuechu was worshipped as the Zhao Yue Demon-Sweeping True Lord, and nine pillars of light marked the stabilization of Great Tang's national fortune. 476
- The system carried a major weakness: cultivators relying on incense lost much of their strength after the Golden Bodies disappeared and the incense connection was severed. 659 672
Major Conflicts and Turning Points
- Western Region Demon Court conflict — Great Tang maintained a nominal non-interference agreement with the Western Region Demon Court, though the court continued hostile activity. A previous emperor personally slew its ruler at Mount Tianshan. 60
- Five Immortals Mountain crisis — During the demon invasion, Great Tang appealed to Five Immortals Mountain for aid. The sect humiliated Cheng Buxiu and rejected the request; its True Persons later attacked Chang'an. 325 333 378
- Defense of Chang'an — Jiang Yuechu became Great Tang's first Tower-Ascending Martial Immortal and defeated the Five Immortals Mountain True Persons threatening the capital. 378
- Outsider cultivator occupation — Numerous foreign cultivators entered Chang'an and acted with impunity, exposing Great Tang's inability to restrain high-level outsiders without Jiang Yuechu's intervention. 446 448 452
- Spirit Mountain and Formless Mountain — Jiang Yuechu destroyed Spirit Mountain's leading Demon Emperors and leveled Formless Mountain, returning its inheritance, resources, artifacts, and techniques to strengthen Great Tang. 525 527
- Chang'an demonic invasion — After the Golden Bodies vanished, Great Tang's remaining defenders were overwhelmed by demons. Jiang Yuechu returned, defeated the invaders, and revived the dead warriors. 672 683
Relationships
- Jiang Yuechu / Li Guyue — Grand Princess, protector, and central source of Great Tang's modern strength; she established its Golden Body system and repeatedly defended Chang'an. 250 409 476
- Emperor of Great Tang — Ruler of the dynasty and Jiang Yuechu's imperial brother; he supports her national-strengthening plans and oversees their implementation. 436 464 527
- Li Imperial High Ancestor — Royal protector who defends Chang'an through Great Tang's dragon qi. 376 672
- Demon Suppression Bureau — Great Tang's principal anti-demon institution, commanded by figures such as Bai Yulou and supported by the Golden Body cultivation system. 20 472 494
- Lu Clan — External ally that assisted Jiang Yuechu with the Golden Body Method; Lu Changfeng later offered an alliance between the Lu Clan and Great Tang. 436 479
- Cauldron Sect — Alchemical sect incorporated into Great Tang's development plans, providing pill formulas and surviving alchemists to strengthen the dynasty. 453 507 526
- Five Immortals Mountain — Hostile Daoist lineage that rejected Great Tang's plea for aid and later sought Li Tianyuan's supposed reincarnation and Central Yellow Dao Foundation. 333 357
- Spirit Mountain — Major demon power hostile to Great Tang; its leading Demon Emperors were killed by Jiang Yuechu. 425 527
