Supreme Purity Ascension Scripture

Biodata

Power Progression

Background / History

The scripture was first bestowed by the Supreme Purity Hall's Inheritance Space to cultivators who reached the Thousand-Step Staircase's 800th step. Qin Huaian received its complete inherited information directly into his mind after swearing a Great Dao oath not to impart it before the Integrated Body Realm. Although its grade was initially unstated, its reward position above earth-grade methods led Qin Huaian to suspect it was heaven-grade or higher. 70

It was later identified as the Supreme Purity Sect's core foundational art. Qingxu explained that the transmitted version was only a primer: the complete path cannot simply be taught, but must be comprehended individually by each cultivator. 176 177

Supreme Purity True Person's creation of cultivation methods for humanity's Golden Core path helped increase the number and strength of human cultivators. The Supreme Purity Heaven Domain was later destroyed in a joint attack by the Demon Race and Devil Race, and its creator disappeared. 642 879

After Qin Huaian perfected the scripture, the portrait embedded within its inheritance connected him to its creator, Supreme Purity True Person. The True Person stated that the sect once had hundreds of millions of practitioners and ordered Qin Huaian to spread both the scripture and his portrait. 331 332

Qin Huaian subsequently disseminated the art through the Violet Thorn Domain, Kun Yuan World, Spirit Rock Island, and eventually the Luo River World. Its public spread undermined major sects' monopoly on powerful foundational methods and accelerated human cultivators' overall growth. 641 712 899

Abilities & Characteristics

Universal foundational cultivation

The scripture has no spirit-root attribute requirement. Any spirit root can use it to refine spiritual power suited to that cultivator, making it unusually versatile among foundational methods. 70

• Its circulation route passes through numerous meridians and acupoints not used by ordinary techniques. 78
• It can expel impurities from the meridians and widen them through repeated circulation, though the widening process is extremely painful. 80
• It is considered suitable for human cultivators but unsuitable for the Demon Race. 429
• It is described as a top-tier Golden Core qi-refining cultivation method with an exceptionally high ceiling for cultivators pursuing the Golden Core path. 504 642

Cultivation speed and spiritual-power quality

Even basic cultivation of the scripture improves cultivation speed over ordinary methods and produces denser, stronger spiritual power. 101 120

• At the proficient level, Qin Huaian's refinement speed more than doubled compared with the entry level, and his spiritual power became roughly 30% stronger. 91
• At Minor Accomplishment, cultivation speed again became more than twice that of the proficient version, with another approximate 30% increase in spiritual-energy quality. 93
• At Mastery, Qin Huaian's cultivation speed was more than twice that of his previous level of the scripture. 210
• The perfected scripture allowed Qin Huaian to break through to Spirit Transformation Middle Stage in three months rather than the expected half-year or longer. 336
• Below the Golden Immortal Realm, it develops a cultivator's potential by absorbing and refining spiritual energy into personal strength; after Golden Immortal, its efficiency becomes comparatively lower because advancement relies primarily on law comprehension. 661

Comprehension threshold

The scripture is relatively approachable at the beginning but becomes exponentially harder to advance at higher levels. 79 238

• Each successive deduction level costs four times the spirit stones and time of the previous level, unlike the usual doubling cost of other cultivation methods. 92 251
• Aptitude alone does not guarantee quick progress: An Qianchen, despite possessing a superior-grade spirit root and strong comprehension, only barely reached its threshold after more than four years without guidance. 101
• Major Accomplishment is considered unattainable before immortality by many cultivators, though Qin Huaian reaches it far earlier. 179 423
• Supreme Purity True Person states that insufficient comprehension cannot be overcome merely through time; even ancient sect geniuses normally reached completion only after becoming immortals. 331

Portrait visualization

The scripture is associated with a portrait of Supreme Purity True Person, which was distributed alongside it under the creator's instructions. 332

• Devout visualization of the portrait makes the scripture somewhat easier to comprehend and modestly increases cultivation speed. 648
• Qin Huaian did not initially use the portrait, but it appeared within his mind once he perfected the scripture. 331
• The portrait enabled delayed communication between Qin Huaian and Supreme Purity True Person across worlds. 331 667
• Supreme Purity True Person said that the spread and growth of the scripture's practitioners would help him find a way home. Energy accumulated through its spread enabled a later conversation with Qin Huaian, but was nearly exhausted afterward. 648 667

Transmission Restrictions

• Original inheritors were bound by oath not to teach the scripture before reaching the Integrated Body Realm. 70
• Qingxu later granted Qin Huaian, as the Supreme Purity Sect's sole core disciple, authority to teach the core technique to anyone he considered suitable. 177
• Supreme Purity True Person explicitly directed Qin Huaian to spread the scripture as widely as possible, together with the True Person's portrait. 332
• Qin Huaian instructed Xu Yunpeng to teach it without restrictions except to people who were utterly wicked. 409

Relationships

• Supreme Purity True Person / Master Taiqing — Creator of the scripture and Qin Huaian's formal master; he relies on the scripture's spread and the growth of its practitioners to accumulate the energy needed to contact or return to his original world. 331 333 667
• Qingxu — Transformed artifact spirit who transmits the version left behind by Master Supreme Purity; unable to comprehend or complete the scripture himself. 176
• Qin Huaian — Primary known inheritor and disseminator; he perfects the scripture unusually early and spreads it across multiple worlds. 331 641 712
• An Qianchen — Fellow 800th-step inheritor whose difficulty entering the scripture demonstrates its demand for guidance and comprehension. 72 101
• Purple Sky Sacred Land — Promotes the scripture after True Person Daoxuan judges it beneficial and safe for human cultivation. 411 412
• He Zhiping — Received the scripture through the Supreme Purity Domain. After obtaining the Evernight Divine Sword's inheritance, he no longer relied on it as his primary cultivation method. 171 1054

Dissemination and Impact

• The Supreme Purity Domain originally connected 108 Cultivation Worlds and selected successful trial participants to inherit the scripture. 755
• Before its public dissemination, inheritors exchanged insights and sought guidance to overcome its difficult entry threshold; Qin Huaian guided fellow Yellow Mountain Sword Sect disciples, while Qi Ruiming and Tian Cuicui drew students from other sects. 116 119 120
• Once publicized, the art spread rapidly because cultivators who refused to adopt it risked falling behind competitors at the foundational level. 712
• Its spread across the Violet Thorn Domain increased human cultivation speed so substantially that the Demon Race began probing and harassing human border regions. 429
• More cultivators ascended through tribulation within a few centuries of adopting it than had done so in the preceding several thousand years. 893
• By the time of its Luo River World dissemination, the scripture was treated as an unparalleled foundational method and had weakened great sects' control over high-level cultivation arts. 899 902
• It eventually spread throughout the Violet Thorn Great World. Its practitioners became too numerous to count, and Qin Huaian became widely known as the person who passed it down, although Supreme Purity True Person had not contacted him again for several hundred years. 902 1054
