Background and History

The Dragon Kingdom is an ancient Blue Star civilization distinguished by its pictographic and ideographic writing, regional languages, and a population generally described as having yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes. Its culture and language closely resemble those of the cultivation world’s Yan Clan, particularly the speech of Huadu City, which Ji Minghong can partially understand. 152

Its possible extraterrestrial origin becomes a major concern after a Dragon Kingdom interstellar expedition retrieves an alien cultivator’s corpse from Mars. The recovered alien resembles a Dragon Kingdom human, while its writings resemble ancient Dragon Kingdom script; a parchment recovered with it contains the Big Dipper Long Fist. 21 72 Later evidence suggests that a migrating Yan Clan group may have brought the Heaven and Earth Creation Cauldron to Blue Star, reinforcing the possibility of a historical Yan Clan connection. 223

The government publicly promotes the Big Dipper Long Fist across the country, and within roughly three months, citizens of every age and social class are practicing it. 14 Though the state does not publicly confirm its deeper purpose, the technique can identify people with cultivation aptitude and precedes Blue Star’s spiritual-energy revival. 118

Cultivation Era

Big Dipper Long Fist

The Big Dipper Long Fist becomes a nationwide social phenomenon before spreading abroad.

• Official media heavily promotes the practice, which is associated with improved health and physical fitness. 14
• The technique originates from a parchment connected to the Mars-recovered alien cultivator. 21
• After spiritual energy revives globally, foreign practitioners also report increased strength and improved physical condition. 118
• Foreign governments suspect the Dragon Kingdom knew of the revival in advance; the Dragon Kingdom government formally denies the accusation. 118

749 Bureau and Cultivator Administration

The 749 Bureau is the Dragon Kingdom’s secretive supernatural institution and becomes central to managing cultivation-related threats.

• The bureau stores and studies the Mars-recovered alien corpse and its unusually durable robe. 21 72
• It investigates supernatural incidents, including cultivation-related crimes and anomalous artifacts. 138 148
• The bureau considers Foundation Establishment cultivators a potential threat to social order and discusses how to preserve long-term stability in the new cultivation environment. 138
• Dragon Kingdom cultivators dispatched by the bureau are significantly more advanced than ordinary Blue Star cultivators. 137

Spirit Root Testing

After Xuan Yu relocates a Spirit-Testing Stele near the 749 Bureau and establishes Spirit-Gathering Arrays, the Dragon Kingdom government launches public Spirit Root testing.

• Any holder of a Dragon Kingdom resident ID may receive a free Spirit Root test in Qinling Province. 158
• Citizens with exceptional aptitude may be recruited into dedicated cultivation institutions for systematic training. 158
• Xuan Yu later moves another Spirit-Testing Stele to Eastern Guangdong Province, leaving the country with two such steles. 158

Spiritual Energy Monopoly

Xuan Yu sets up hundreds of Spirit-Gathering Arrays across the Dragon Kingdom and draws Blue Star’s spiritual energy into its territory. As a result, the Dragon Kingdom becomes the only place on Blue Star where spiritual energy remains available for cultivation. 158

This decision triggers severe international backlash.

• Foreign media accuse the Dragon Kingdom of selfishly monopolizing a resource that should benefit all humanity. 162
• Kangaroo Country threatens war unless spiritual energy is restored worldwide; its military representative is killed during a live broadcast after provoking the Dragon Kingdom. 162
• Global media becomes markedly more cautious toward the Dragon Kingdom because it is known to possess powerful cultivators. 163
• The country tightens immigration policy; foreigners cannot obtain resident identity cards, and former citizens who acquired foreign nationality are not automatically readmitted. 163

Society and Development

Population and Education

Development	Details
Population growth	The population exceeds 3.6 billion by the period of Supreme Mystery Sect expansion and later reaches 8 billion. 339 404
Cultivation talent	Roughly one in ten thousand Dragon Kingdom newborns possesses three Spirit Roots or better. 339
Specialized academies	Cultivation academies study alchemy, artifact refining, talismans, and formations. 339
Sect personnel	The Supreme Mystery Sect eventually surpasses 100,000 disciples, including nearly 1,000 Nascent Soul cultivators. 404

Technology and Daily Life

The Dragon Kingdom integrates modern technology with cultivation methods on a mass scale.

• Spatial-folding formations become common in homes, expanding usable living space by at least tenfold. 404
• Vehicles equipped with spatial formations can carry more than one hundred passengers. 404
• Agriculture produces low-grade spiritual fruits and materials; vegetables such as cabbage evolve into Jade Cabbage, which can be used in fasting pills. 404
• Star-Absorbing Talisman Panels replace much of the country’s thermal power generation by converting cosmic radiation, starlight, and solar energy into electricity. 404
• Dragon Kingdom companies establish branches on Ultimate Path Star, including Douyin and WeChat, staffed by low-level cultivators. 404

Information Control

The Dragon Kingdom’s domestic internet is isolated from international and interstellar networks. Initially, this prevents ordinary citizens from directly viewing foreign discussion of domestic events. 14

Zhang Shuai later maintains the separation from the interstellar network to prevent technological leaks and uncontrolled influence over cultivation-world public opinion.

• Dragon Kingdom citizens possess widespread modern scientific knowledge that could reveal confidential technology. 455
• Zhang Shuai believes Dragon Kingdom netizens could dominate interstellar discourse and unpredictably reshape public opinion. 455
• Interstellar-network servers and data centers used by the Supreme Mystery Sect are located within the Dragon Kingdom. 455

Relationship with the Supreme Mystery Sect

The Dragon Kingdom provides the Supreme Mystery Sect with its population base, technological infrastructure, research support, and personnel.

• Supreme Mystery Sect cultivators are described as native-born Dragon Kingdom citizens. 455
• The state contributes manpower and resources to the Cultivation Technology Research Institute. 455
• The Taixuan Dragon Interstellar Technology Development Company is jointly established by the sect and the government, with the sect holding 70% and the government holding 30%. 288
• Dragon Kingdom technology—including Spirit-Stone Cars, Spirit-Stone Phones, and Spirit Root Potions—supports the sect’s expansion into the cultivation world. 289

When the Supreme Mystery Sect unifies the cultivation world, the government treats the achievement as a national triumph and publicizes it throughout the country. 455

International Standing

The Dragon Kingdom is already regarded as one of Blue Star’s two superpowers before spiritual energy revival, with major economic, technological, and military influence. 37

After cultivator power becomes public knowledge, Dragon Kingdom citizenship gains exceptional prestige abroad.

• Multiple countries hold referendums seeking to become Dragon Kingdom provinces, though the Dragon Kingdom government refuses to recognize these unilateral declarations. 214
• Other states enact extreme protections for Dragon Kingdom citizens, including severe penalties for harming or insulting them. 214
• Dragon Kingdom citizens are widely envied and treated as privileged abroad. 214
• Following the Supreme Mystery Sect’s unification of the cultivation world, domestic media portrays Dragon Kingdom civilization as having reached the stars and gained access to the resources of countless cultivation planets. 455
