Background / History

The Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele was known in the Kun Yuan World as the world’s core. Cultivators used Kun Yuan Stones to gain cultivation time beneath it, especially for comprehending earth-element laws 449 450.

In the Kun Yuan World, the stele stood at the center of a basin plain nearly three thousand li across, with the stele itself described as soaring a thousand li into the sky 451. Its effective cultivation range extended a thousand li, and entry required Kun Yuan Stones 452 453.

Receiving the stele’s acknowledgment was extremely rare. In the Kun Yuan World, even with millions cultivating nearby, one acknowledged cultivator in a hundred years was considered exceptional; candidates generally needed at least second-realm comprehension of earth-element laws and unusually fast progress 452.

Qin Huaian cultivated within the stele’s domain after obtaining large numbers of Kun Yuan Stones. After reaching the late stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and bringing his earth-element law comprehension to the middle stage of the second realm, he was gently drawn into the stele’s interior 459.

Qin Huaian remained inside for fifty years, far surpassing the known historical record of nineteen and a half years. After emerging, he sensed the blessing of the Kun Yuan World’s heaven-and-earth power and realized that Kun Yuan Stones contained earth-vein power useful for cultivating the Mysterious Yellow Thick Earth Body 466.

An old man inside or associated with the stele later revealed that he guarded it to pass down the Mysterious Yellow Thick Earth Body and intended to contact his master, the Earth Emperor 476. He also transmitted his voice to Qin Huaian and discussed the Chaos Divine Lightning Tribulation with him 487.

Much later, the stele appeared in the Central Fire Sea without any visible spatial passage, rift, teleportation array, or spatial fluctuation 871. Wang Zhi and other cultivators from the Kun Yuan World confirmed its identity after being transported to the same continent 871 872.

Senior Turtle revealed that he had brought the Kun Yuan Dao Repository Stele to Parasol Tree Continent and intended to leave it there permanently. He also stated that most cultivators of the Kun Yuan World had been sent back to their original entry points, while a small number followed the stele to the continent 877.

After more than a decade in Parasol Tree Continent, the area around the stele became a major cultivation hub. More than ten million cultivators gathered there, including the four Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals of the Violet Thorn Great World 941.

Appearance

The stele is a colossal stone monument. In the Kun Yuan World it stood at the center of a vast basin, while after its relocation it appeared as a mysterious wordless stele with earth-attributed laws circulating across its surface 451 871.

• Monumental stone-stele form, described in the Kun Yuan World as rising a thousand li high 451.
• After relocation, it bore no carved words, but earth-attributed laws could be sensed moving over it 871.
• Its arrival at the Central Fire Sea left no detectable spatial trace 871.
• It releases earthen-yellow light that can sink into the land and spread outward like ripples 872.
• A thousand-li domain surrounds it, blocking teleportation and exerting repulsive force after its relocation 872 941.

Abilities & Functions

Earth-Element Law Cultivation Domain

The stele’s surrounding area greatly improves comprehension of earth-element laws, with stronger effects closer to the stele 454 872 941.

• In the Kun Yuan World, its effective range was a thousand li 452.
• Kun Yuan Stones were required to remain inside the range; one stone lasted about one month in the outer area 453.
• The closer a cultivator moved toward the stele, the faster Kun Yuan Stones were consumed and the clearer earth-element laws became 454.
• Within three hundred li, Qin Huaian found that one Kun Yuan Stone lasted only about ten days 454.
• After relocation, Kun Yuan Stones no longer existed outside the Kun Yuan World, so cultivators had to withstand the stele’s repulsive force directly 941.
• In Parasol Tree Continent, deeper earth-law comprehension weakens the repulsive force and allows cultivators to move closer 941.

Recognition and Teleportation

The stele can acknowledge qualified cultivators and teleport them into its inner space 452 459 941.

• In the Kun Yuan World, acknowledged cultivators were generally under a thousand years old and highly gifted in earth-element laws 452.
• Reaching the second realm of earth-element law comprehension was said to be the minimum condition for acknowledgment 452.
• Qin Huaian was drawn inside after reaching late Tribulation Transcendence and the middle stage of the second realm in earth-element laws 459.
• In Parasol Tree Continent, fewer than a hundred cultivators per year could enter despite tens of millions cultivating nearby 941.
• Body-refining cultivators can also gain acknowledgment through body-tempering cultivation rather than earth-law comprehension 943 949.

Inner Inheritance Spaces

The interior does not present the same trial or environment to every cultivator 943 945 949.

• Qin Huaian entered a vast hall with cylindrical pillars and wall paintings tied to the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water 461.
• By meditating on the hall’s images, Qin Huaian advanced his wood and fire laws to the second realm over ten years 461.
• Qin Huaian later recalled that he greatly improved his five-element laws and earth-element law inside before the majestic heaven-supporting figure appeared 949.
• Xing Wanjun, who entered through body-refining cultivation, appeared on an ancient, desolate land with a figure nearly as tall as heaven and earth 943.
• Cultivators who enter through earth-law comprehension usually arrive in the great hall, while body-refining entrants can directly comprehend the Mysterious Yellow Thick Earth Body 945 949.

Mysterious Yellow Thick Earth Body Inheritance

The stele conceals the Mysterious Yellow Thick Earth Body, a powerful body-tempering cultivation method connected to earth-vein power 884 905 906.

• Qin Huaian states that the art can allow a cultivator to reach the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm 884 893.
• The technique absorbs earth-vein power directly rather than using spiritual energy to temper the body 906.
• A wisp of pseudo-Mysterious Yellow Qi is needed to truly begin cultivating it 905 906.
• Qin Huaian believes the stele’s special inner environment helps cultivators condense pseudo-Mysterious Yellow Qi 905 906 907.
• Later body-refining cultivators could enter the stele through body-refinement talent and directly attempt to comprehend the technique 943 949.
• Each year, only several dozen body-refining cultivators entered the stele, and roughly half succeeded in comprehending the technique and cultivating pseudo-Mysterious Yellow Qi 949.

Domain Restrictions and Protection

The stele’s domain enforces special rules and barriers 459 872 941.

• Fighting is forbidden within the Kun Yuan World domain; attacks cannot harm the opponent, and violators are cast out 459.
• After relocation, teleportation is impossible within a thousand li of the stele 872.
• Even Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals were stopped by the thousand-li barrier when attempting to teleport toward it 872.
• The closer cultivators move to the stele, the stronger the repulsive force becomes 872 941.
• Duan Linchuan could no longer advance at twenty li from the stele, despite being a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal 872.
• Su Yu later stated that he could only reach a point a dozen or so li from the stele 906.

Heaven-and-Earth Blessing

Cultivators acknowledged by the stele gain compatibility with the Kun Yuan World’s heaven and earth 466 468.

• The longer one remains inside, the greater their compatibility with the world becomes 468.
• This compatibility directly increases combat strength through the world’s heaven-and-earth power 466 468.
• After fifty years inside, Qin Huaian felt that he could easily defeat the Tribulation Transcendence cultivators who had previously hunted him, relying on this augmentation alone 466.
• Miao Shanshan states that most acknowledged cultivators can comprehend earth-element laws to the second realm, with many reaching the middle stage or higher 468.

Earth Dragon Vein Activation

After arriving on Parasol Tree Continent, the stele helped awaken and transform the land 872 877.

• Its earthen-yellow light sank into the earth and spread across the continent 872.
• Old Turtle interpreted this as awakening the long-slumbering earth dragon vein of Grand Void Heaven 872.
• Senior Turtle later said he used the stele’s power to accelerate the Earth Ancestral Dragon Vein’s fusion with the greater world 877.
• A process that would have taken tens of thousands of years was shortened to at most two or three hundred years 877.
