Background
The Ascension Immortal Clan originated from the human race, but divine blood flowed through its members. They regarded this bloodline as proof that they were immortals rather than humans. Their small population and difficult reproduction were offset by every member being a natural cultivator from birth. 126
After defeating humanity in an ancient war, the clan forced the surviving humans into the land enclosed by the Earth-Woe Fog Sea and Hammer Immortal Mountains. The humans established the Ten-Finger Heaven Gate grand formation, while Hammer Immortal Mountains became the barrier against further Immortal Clan invasion. 126
The clan's own history includes the Moon-Grasping Immortal Sect, whose surviving disciples split into the Yang Tiger and Frost Dragon branches after an ancient calamity. These became two of the strongest pillars among the clan's Twelve Branches. 173
The origin of the race is later cast into doubt. Spirit-patterned corpse creatures bearing Spirit Source Seals possess internal modifications resembling the routes through which Immortal Clan members circulate immortal qi. Chu He consequently questions whether the race arose naturally or was artificially created. 177 Ancient Clan elders later state that the Dao Palace's supreme existence had once belonged to the Ancient Clan before creating a new race and turning against his former allies. 369
Appearance
Immortal Clan members are generally humanoid and are distinguished by a three-leaf clover-like Spirit Source Seal between the brows.
- Seal colors vary; an orange mark is shown as stronger than a scarlet mark, while Ke Long's orange seal is identified as a second-realm Spirit Source Seal. 103 126
- Their blood and qi are described as immortal qi, a power recognizably distinct from martial cultivator aura. 174
- Chu He can imitate an Immortal Clan member's appearance, aura, and yellow three-leaf mark by using essence blood and the Profound Elixir Transformation Art. 174
Traits and Abilities
Spirit Source Seal
The spell seal between an Immortal Clan member's brows is the source of their power.
- Grants access to their race's wondrous abilities and cultivation system. 126
- Functions alongside immortal qi as a requirement for operating artifacts made by the clan. 176
- Appears on modified corpse creatures as well as humanoid members, suggesting the seal can be artificially applied or replicated. 177
Immortal Qi
Immortal qi is the clan's defining cultivation energy and a key component of its technology.
- It can be absorbed from slain clan members. 168 177
- It activates sealed rooms, immortal artifacts, and other creations that outsiders cannot use by conventional means. 176 187
- Ascension Immortal artifacts may self-destruct if forced with incompatible power. 176
Cultivation Talent
Every member is born a natural cultivator, despite the clan's limited population. 126
- The clan produces elite lineages, Holy Sons, prodigies, elders, branch lords, ancestors, and forbidden experts. 173 287 355 388
- Its upper-realm prodigies heavily outnumber Ancient Clan ascenders on the Immortal Martial Battle Platform. 273 274
- The Dao Palace cultivated additional prodigies within the Origin Sea, tempering them until several possessed Dao-proving strength while still young. 377
Formations and War Methods
The clan fields large armies, warships, divine weapons, and high-level formations.
- During the assault on Hammer Immortal City, the clan's lineage masters formed the Great Luo Golden Immortal Formation against Yao Tianxing's Hammer Immortal Slaying Formation. 230
- Its ancestors used the Ten-Directions Heavenly Fire Saint-Refining Formation to seal Li Fen and six Ancient Clan elders. 359
- The Dao Palace later integrated the clan's forces into military districts and required high-ranking cultivators to train in a simulated war world. 376

History
Lower-Realm Expansion and Conflict
The clan treated humans as inferior resources, with some members viewing them as slaves to be killed, raised, or bred. Ke and Xiao's massacre of a fishing village for corpses demonstrates this policy in practice. 103 126
The clan dispatched an expedition to the Moon-Grasping Immortal Sect ruins in the Heavenly Official Secret Realm. Led by Yang Tiger heir Zu Hua, its objective was to recover sect inheritances and a possible clan-guarding artifact, strengthen the clan, and prepare for humanity's extermination. 173
Zu Hua's rise continued after the secret-realm campaign. He became the young clan leader while at the peak Fifth Realm, increasing the Yang Tiger Lineage's authority. 214
The clan then launched a general offensive against Hammer Immortal City through its branches. The campaign initially placed the human border under simultaneous, widespread assault, but Yao Tianxing's Hammer Immortal Slaying Formation devastated the invaders and killed several branch lords. 221 222 230 231
Hammer Immortal City's counteroffensive captured four branch bases, killed the old clan chief and six peak Sixth Realm experts, and forced the clan to concede territory and cease openly enslaving and breeding humans in the Great Wilderness. 234
Zu Hua's Holy Lord Crisis
After the defeat, Zu Hua became an Ascension Immortal Holy Lord. He devoured fellow clansmen and used blood-refining secret arts to create additional embryonic worlds, causing surviving Immortal Clan cultivators to flee toward Hammer Immortal territory in terror. 266 267
Heaven Beyond Heaven
In the upper realm, the Ascension Immortal Clan is known simply as the Immortal Clan, while the Human Clan is known as the Ancient Clan. The two remained locked in an inherited conflict, with the Ancient Clan occupying a weaker position among the four great races. 245
At the Immortal Martial Battle Platform, Immortal Clan cultivators attempted to capture Chu He for a reward. They later imposed a condition that he must guard an arena alone against all challengers, escalating the contest into a confrontation between the Immortal and Ancient Clans. 273 277
The Immortal Clan's prodigies supported Zhong Zhiyue by pouring their power into him and forcibly opening his origin. Chu He's Dao Fist fed upon these bestowed divine abilities, turning their collective reinforcement into a weakness. 286
Chu He subsequently killed large numbers of the clan's Seventh Realm prodigies, including the Primordial Sacred Body. The resulting losses prompted the Immortal Clan to declare war on the Ancient Clan and mobilize multiple sects against him. 293
War for the Ancestral Dragon Tree
After Chu He obtained the Ancestral Dragon Tree, Immortal Clan patriarchs attempted to kill him outside the Void Mausoleum. Their subsequent invasion of Ancient Clan territory demanded the tree's surrender and escalated into a full-scale war. 347 354
The clan fielded a vast force of soldiers, prodigies, Near-Dao practitioners, and ancestors. Despite numerical superiority, its armies suffered immense losses against the Ancient Clan's iron armies and killing formations. 355 356
The invasion temporarily captured Ancient Clan elders and killed members of the Hundred Kings, but Chu He's return reversed the battlefield's momentum. His presence alone caused portions of the Immortal Clan army to flee. 359 360
Dao Palace Unification and Fall
The Dao Palace ultimately emerged from the Origin Sea, unified the Immortal Clan, established a centralized military structure, and began cleansing its territories of foreign races. 376 378
Its Innate Dao Palace opened to Immortal Clan geniuses and revealed a reserve of Origin Sea-tempered Dao-proving cultivators. This marked the clan's final preparations for war across the heavens. 377 378
The Immortal Clan later joined the Devil Race in a major offensive against the Ancient and Saint Clans. Its forbidden experts and Dao Palace forces attempted to kill Chu He but failed to overcome his Heavenly Dao Vein and Forbidden Realm strength. 386 387 388
Chu He eventually shattered the Innate Dao Palace's origin with the aid of Martial God Mountain. The collapse destroyed the clan's central power structure, killed many of its forbidden beings and ancestors, and left its remaining forces unable to threaten the other clans on the same scale. 390
Trivia
