The Chronicle of Cultivating Gods: Common Knowledge and Observations of the Immortal Realm - and Data Compilation (Heavenly Dao Xiao Hua)

The first 19 chapters of "Cultivation God's External Biography: Immortal Realm Chapter" have been uploaded. A cruel, grand, and bizarre immortal realm is revealed before us by the author, Tan Hua. This article will analyze what Tan Hua has revealed in the first 19 chapters of "Cultivation God's External Biography: Immortal Realm Chapter."

I. Immortal Realm Environment

The Immortal Realm is a pseudo-immortal realm. This can be determined from the fact that the thirteen great gods that Xiao Hua transcended his tribulation used the Pangu Axe to cleave open the Ascension Gate. The Immortal Realm was originally the Witch Realm. From the dialogue of the Purple Gold Boat sisters and Mo Ban Mountain, it can be inferred that there was a struggle for foundational power in the Immortal Realm, and the losers were the Primordial True Immortals. One of their representatives, the power behind the Purple Gold Boat, has gone into hiding in the Primordial True Immortal Realm.

Pseudo-Immortal Realm: This realm is structured like a pagoda, with thirty-three heavens (e.g., Heaven Beyond Heaven, Tai Ming Yu Wan Heaven, Tai Huang Huang Zeng Heaven). The higher one ascends, the more powerful the immortals become. Lower-tier immortals cannot reside beyond their own realm. For example, Tai Huang Huang Zeng Heaven is the lowest level of the thirty-three heavens, a base level where immortals and mortals intermingle. This base level is divided into several major immortal domains: Ming Dao Immortal Domain, Zi Xuan Immortal Domain, Tian Wu Immortal Domain, and the immortal domain where Ye Jian and Huang Tong reside. Each immortal domain contains several continents. The lowest administrative unit within an immortal domain is a county, and a slightly larger unit is a nation. Below the immortal domain are interfaces, such as galaxies, like the Nebula Fairy Ni Xia Galaxy.

II. Powers of the Immortal Realm

Heavenly Venerable Mansion (governs different galaxies and even immortal domains, with various palaces under its jurisdiction, such as the Law Enforcement Palace, Punishment Palace, etc.); various aristocratic families (varying in size, with smaller families attaching themselves to larger ones); various cultivation sects (varying in size, with smaller sects attaching themselves to larger ones). The location of these sects might be part of a continent, a county, or span across galaxies.

III. Time in the Immortal Realm

Immortal Realm Calendar: Yuan (corresponds to the mortal world's day), Yan (corresponds to the mortal world's month), Shi (corresponds to the mortal world's year; one year in Xiao Hua's Shenzhou Ruins is 360 days), Jie, Zhou, Dai, Ji. 360 Yuan is one Yan, 360 Yan is one Shi, and so on.

One Yuan is six suns and three moons, with 54 shichen (a traditional Chinese unit of time, equivalent to two hours), which is equivalent to 4.5 mortal days.

The six suns are: Chi Wu Sun (crimson red), Jiao Tu Sun (fiery yellow), Gui Jing Sun (golden yellow), Yan Xi Sun (fiery red), Teng She Sun (silvery white), and Shu Que Sun (glazed gold). Each sun has 6 shichen.

The three moons are: Qiu Hao Moon (dark green color), appearing at night; Gui Hun Moon (ice crystal color), appearing at midnight; Zhan Bai Moon (bright white color), appearing at dawn. Each moon has 6 shichen.

IV. Classification of Immortals in the Immortal Realm

1. Conventional Classification:

a. Ascended Immortals: Ascended immortals must undergo lightning tribulations. Lower-tier immortals must endure the black qi killing in the Immortal Realm, while higher-tier immortals must endure the black qi killing and white light killing. Therefore, ascended immortals are very powerful. They account for 0.5% of the immortal population in the Immortal Realm.

b. Indigenous Immortals: Native residents of the Immortal Realm, descendants of the people of the Immortal Realm. They span different realms. Most of them are not as powerful as ascended immortals of the same level. They account for over 95% of the immortal population in the Immortal Realm.

c. Smuggled Immortals: Immortals who enter the Immortal Realm through unofficial channels, such as the Feathered Immortal organization.

2. Immortal Mark Classification: Immortal marks are similar to spiritual roots in the cultivation world and are a way for certain gods in the God Realm to harvest the power of faith.

a. Those without immortal marks are Dust Immortals, who cannot be ranked among the immortals and are the lowest-tier immortals in the Immortal Realm.

b. Immortal marks, from low to high, are divided into Human Mark, Earth Mark, Heaven Mark, Yellow Mark, Profound Mark, and Starry Sky Immortal Mark (Xiao Hua's is the Supreme Immortal Mark of the Starry Sky Immortal Mark). The quality of immortal marks is further divided into: Void Mark, Illusion Mark, Shadow Mark, Bright Mark, Solid Mark, etc.

3. Realm Classification (Dao Cultivation and Confucian Cultivation)

a. (Dao Cultivation) Lower-tier immortals primarily cultivate using immortal spiritual energy, also known as Qi Immortals. From high to low, they are divided into: Spirit Transformation Immortal, Yuan Gathering Immortal, Two Qi Immortal, Five Elements Immortal, Yan Immortal, and Leak Immortal.

b. (Dao Cultivation) Higher-tier immortals primarily cultivate using immortal spiritual light, also known as Light Immortals. From high to low, they are divided into: Demigod (Void God), Heavenly Venerable (Primordial Great Power), Immortal Venerable Mixed Yuan Immortal, Mixed Yuan Immortal, Taiyi Immortal, Da Luo Immortal, Nine Palaces Immortal, Golden Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, and True Immortal (e.g., Xu Zhi entered the realm of Light Immortals after consuming Xiao Hua's Sacred Lotus Seed).

c. (Confucian Cultivation, i.e., Heavenly Court) Book Immortal, Ode Immortal, Jade Pure Human Immortal, Upper Pure Earth Immortal, Supreme Pure Heavenly Immortal, etc.

V. Classification of Pills in the Immortal Realm (The introduction of immortal pills in this Ink Immortal Eye may be based on hearsay, but the general realm is not far off.)

Immortal pills in the Immortal Realm are divided into seven grades, from high to low: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5, Grade 6, and Grade 7. There are also unclassified pills, like residue pills, consumed by lower-tier immortals.

1. Grade 7 Immortal Pills, such as Dust Dissipating Pill and Calamity Relief Pill, are suitable for newly promoted immortals.

2. Grade 6 Immortal Pills, such as Spirit Nourishing Pill, Tranquil Mind Pill, and Wisdom Enlightenment Pill, are suitable for lower-tier immortals.

3. Grade 5 Immortal Pills, such as Star Plucking Pill, are suitable for immortals with Golden Immortal cultivation or higher.

4. Grade 4 Immortal Pills, such as Spirit Returning Pill, are suitable for all Da Luo Immortals and below.

5. Grade 3 Immortal Pills, such as Immortal Harmonizing Pill, are suitable for newly promoted Taiyi Immortals or Mixed Yuan Immortals to refine their realm and immortal spiritual energy.

6. Grade 2 Immortal Pills, such as Demon Slaying Pill, are suitable for those undergoing great tribulations to resist attacks from outer realm demons.

7. Grade 1 Immortal Pills, such as God Returning Pill and God Attaining Pill, are suitable for mid-tier Mixed Yuan Immortals, Taiyi Immortals, or Primordial Great Powers.

VI. Classification of Artifact Refining in the Immortal Realm (The introduction of immortal artifacts in this Ink Immortal Eye may be based on hearsay, but the general realm is not far off.)

Immortal artifacts in the Immortal Realm are divided into four types: Low-tier Out-of-Dust, Mid-tier Calamity Overcoming, High-tier Eternal Silence, and Spiritually Connected Immortal Artifacts.

1. Low-tier Out-of-Dust Immortal Artifacts are divided into three grades and can be used by all immortals. Due to their extremely high forging success rate and the use of not particularly precious materials, they are convenient immortal artifacts for those entering the Immortal Realm to become immortals. Hence the saying: "Not of the mortal world, not stained by karma; after leaving the dust, one becomes an immortal."

2. Mid-tier Calamity Overcoming Immortal Artifacts are divided into four grades. Grade 1 Calamity Overcoming can already connect with the vast universe; immortals who do not comprehend the five elements or pass through the nine palaces cannot use it. Grade 2 Calamity Overcoming allows a preliminary test of the firmament, and Golden Immortals and above can use it. Grades 3 and 4 Calamity Overcoming differ due to variations in forging materials and the different amounts of immortal spiritual power they contain. However, neither of these can mobilize the power of heavenly secrets, so all ascended immortals can use them. At the same time, Grades 3 and 4 Calamity Overcoming, due to the special forging materials, have indescribable effects compared to Out-of-Dust Immortal Artifacts. Therefore, immortals below Golden Immortal who possess Calamity Overcoming already have a 40% advantage in victory. Such immortals usually refer to Grade 3 Calamity Overcoming as top-grade immortal artifacts. Hence the saying: "Who can overcome calamities and tribulations? Beyond the three realms lies the Golden Immortal."

3. High-tier Eternal Silence Immortal Artifacts are divided into only two grades. Upper-tier Eternal Silence understands the heavens and earth, and illuminates the profound and yellow. Taiyi gathers primal spirit to refine the mind; ten thousand years and ten lifetimes nurture the purple mansion. These immortal artifacts not only require extremely special materials for forging but also require Taiyi Immortals or Mixed Yuan Immortals to spend hundreds of thousands of years continuously refining and nurturing them, gradually forming a unified whole with them, and their spirituality has been awakened. The saying goes: "The artifact moves with the heart, and the technique emerges from the artifact." Unless it is a life-or-death battle, they are generally not used.

There are also lower-tier Eternal Silence artifacts, which require heavenly materials and earthly treasures for forging. Although they cannot yet discern the heavens, the profound, and the yellow, they require Da Luo Immortals to refine and nurture them for a long time, and the artifacts already contain the profound principles of heaven and earth and the power of the profound and yellow. If the souls of heavenly spiritual objects are then infused into them, their spirituality can be stimulated, and they can advance to upper-tier Eternal Silence. Hence the saying: "A single word of morality brings eternal clarity and tranquility; the profound and yellow of heaven and earth are true eternal silence."

4. Spiritually Connected Immortal Artifacts are called "Ji Yuan" and are not divided into grades. These immortal artifacts are also called pseudo-divine artifacts. Hence the saying: "The origin of the Ji body is inherently the Dao; spirit transformation and mixed yuan ultimately break through to immortality."

Appendix: This information is very incomplete, as "Cultivation God's External Biography: Immortal Realm Chapter" involves many realms such as the Immortal Realm, Heavenly Court, Dragon Domain, Demon Marsh, Demon Alliance, Buddha Kingdom, Underworld, and Spirit Realm, and their cultivation methods. Due to the fact that the Immortal Realm has not yet been fully developed, some things are still being conceived by Tan Hua himself. Therefore, omissions are inevitable!
