Power Progression

The following documented milestones distinguish preparation, True Immortal-level combat power, actual realm attainment, and higher-rank assessments.

Stage / Realm / Level	Chapter	Notes
True immortal body; ninth-level Mahayana cultivation	2957	After a thirty-one-year transformation using the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron’s fruit, Ye Han’s body becomes mature enough to face the true immortal tribulation. This does not grant True Immortal cultivation or a True Immortal’s full physical strength.
True Immortal-level offensive power	3388	Still below the realm, Ye Han combines the third layer of the Ten Thousand Stars Return to Origin Art with roughly one-third of the True Immortal’s Hand’s power to unleash True Immortal power.
Initial comprehension of immortal qi laws and Heavenly Dao power	3576	A life-or-death battle against Bulling Immortal Emperor gives Ye Han the insight needed to cross a previously elusive bottleneck.
Strengthened chaos immortal qi laws	3604	Absorbing the Nine-Turn True Immortal Pill at least doubles Ye Han’s chaos immortal qi law power, but does not complete immortal ascension.
True Immortal cultivation without completed tribulation	3643 3645	Heavenly Dao energy released from four golden lotus seals raises Ye Han to True Immortal cultivation. He perfects chaos law and integrates it with the five-element laws, but lacks Heavenly Dao recognition and undying longevity because the tribulation cannot descend in the Sealed Heaven Land.
True Immortal clone	3649	Ye Han refines a clone from Night Spirit Immortal Emperor’s immortal soul embryo. Unlike his main body at this point, the clone already possesses an eternal lifespan through the embryo’s Heavenly Dao and Immortal Dao power.
Immortal tribulation survived	3717	Ye Han survives the immortal tribulation, increasing his lifespan and strengthening both his true form and True Immortal clone.
Golden Immortal-level cultivation and combat strength	3752 3774	Ye Han is assessed as a Golden Immortal-level being, although some specialized laws, divine abilities, and spell power remain less developed.
Great Luo Golden Immortal-level displayed power	3789	Witnesses judge Ye Han’s unleashed cultivation and divine abilities to have surpassed Golden Immortal and reached Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
Zhang Qingshan advances to True Immortal	3903	The True Dragon inheritance provides the final opportunity after years of hardships and trials. The inheritance alone would not have been sufficient without his accumulated cultivation and understanding.

Advancement Requirements

• Mahayana cultivation: Reaching the Mahayana Stage is the crucial prerequisite that allows cultivators to begin striving for true immortality 2688.
• Complete mastery of a law: Fully comprehending and cultivating at least one type of law power is a condition of advancement 3388 3903.
• A prepared physical body: Ye Han’s true immortal body satisfies one decisive bodily requirement, making him ready for the required tribulation without itself granting the realm 2957.
• Heavenly Dao comprehension: A breakthrough grants control over a Heavenly Dao law. The particular law depends on the cultivator’s opportunity and comprehension during advancement 3576.
• Immortal tribulation and recognition: Ordinarily, surviving the immortal tribulation and receiving Heavenly Dao recognition complete ascension and grant the associated protection and longevity 3521 3646.
• Opportunity beyond resources: Treasures and pills alone are insufficient. State of mind, law comprehension, opportunity, and luck also matter 3415 3594.
• No universal procedure: Immortal ascension has no standardized sequence or fixed strength requirement comparable to earlier cultivation breakthroughs 3431 3577.
• No moral qualification: Good or evil character is not the primary criterion; evil races and the Devil Race also produce True Immortals 3288.

Difficulty and Bottlenecks

• Fewer than one in ten thousand Mahayana cultivators can even encounter an opportunity for immortal ascension 2798.
• Immortal Race Half-Step True Immortals can remain at the final bottleneck for a million years. The Glacier Immortal Emperor herself had cultivated for over a hundred thousand years without advancing 3385.
• Breakthrough seclusion may last tens of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of years 3577.
• Integrating excessive external power can threaten later advancement. Ye Han hesitates to merge the True Immortal Eye into his body partly for this reason 3411.
• An unstable divine ability can obstruct the breakthrough: fluctuations in Zhang Qingshan’s Nine Dragons Divine Art prevent him from sensing the Heavenly Dao during his first attempt 3902.

Related States

State	Distinction from completed True Immortal ascension
Half-Step True Immortal	Remains below the realm despite potentially enormous cultivation and repeated improvements; crossing the final gap is exceptionally difficult 3130 3385.
True immortal body	Describes bodily readiness for advancement, not possession of True Immortal cultivation or full True Immortal physical power 2957.
Pseudo-True Immortal	Lacks Heavenly Dao recognition. Even when claiming everlasting life, its cultivation and power are far inferior to those of a recognized True Immortal 3521.
Ye Han’s unrecognized True Immortal state	Explicitly possesses genuine True Immortal cultivation and strength, but initially lacks undying longevity because the Sealed Heaven Land blocks his tribulation 3645 3646.
Divine beast	Occupies a comparable level of power through a separate advancement path. Unlike a cultivator who becomes a True Immortal, a divine beast’s growth has limits that prevent it from becoming a Myriad Realms Sovereign 3805.

Higher Ranks

True Immortal cultivation continues to develop after ascension. The novel records multiple naming systems rather than a single universally used hierarchy 3464 3746.

Classification	Recorded ranks
Four-rank system	True Immortal → Great Luo True Immortal → Invincible True Immortal → Immortal Ancestor 3746
Alternative terminology	Earth Immortal, Golden Immortal, Great Luo Golden Immortal, Sovereign True Immortal, and other designations 3746

• Heavenly Dao control: Greater control of the Heavenly Dao and stronger Heavenly Dao energy increase cultivation, divine abilities, and dominion over heaven and earth 3633.
• Law development: More abundant and perfected law power strengthens a True Immortal. Years cultivated alone do not determine rank or combat strength 3747 3774.
• True Immortal Emperor Chen: Described as at least a peak Golden Immortal, one step from Sovereign True Immortal 3746.
• Azure Ox Old Daoist and Brahma Old Ancestor: Identified as probably the most highly cultivated True Immortals Ye Han had encountered at that point, far beyond ordinary members of the realm 3746.
• Further ambition: Opportunities in the Chaos Immortal Cave are said to permit advancement to Great Luo Golden Immortal; obtaining the heavenly mandate could allow a contender to challenge the Inverse-God Immortal Ancestor for the position of Myriad Realms Sovereign 3787.

Abilities & Characteristics

Heavenly Dao Power and Laws

True Immortals wield Heavenly Dao energy through the laws they have comprehended 3521 3576.

• Even a relatively weak True Immortal possesses Heavenly Dao energy. Night Spirit Immortal Emperor uses his origin energy to break the Heaven-Earth Ring’s restraints and the Ghost Skull Mirror’s spatial suppression 3521.
• Law interactions remain decisive after ascension. Perfected water law can still counter fire law, while the effectiveness of an attack depends partly on how its laws counter the opponent’s 3613 3645.
• Chaos law is exceptionally rare even among True Immortals. Ye Han’s perfected chaos law makes ordinary True Immortals unable to match him at his newly attained level 3645.

Immortal Qi

True Immortal qi can empower cultivation, treasures, and specialized artifacts.

• A tiny quantity leaked by a True Immortal is extraordinarily abundant to Body Integration cultivators and can greatly accelerate their cultivation 2692 2701.
• Immortal qi carrying its owner’s will is difficult for weaker cultivators to absorb. Within the Immortal Palace, resisting that will consumes substantial spell power 2790.
• Immortal qi substantially increases the power of refined Supreme Immortal Treasures 3342.
• Immortal Artifacts differ from Immortal Treasures and Supreme Immortal Treasures: they require a True Immortal’s immortal qi and spells to activate 3551.

Immortal Rings

An Immortal Ring accompanies True Immortal cultivation and reveals aspects of the bearer’s laws and elemental powers 3643.

• Most True Immortals conceal their rings to prevent opponents from identifying counters to their abilities 3643 3656.
• Releasing the rings can be necessary to channel Heavenly Dao power into an Immortal Formation 3656.
• Displaying rings openly can serve as a demonstration of sincerity when True Immortals cooperate 3656.

Immortal Souls and Living Body Fragments

A True Immortal’s power can persist beyond an intact physical body.

• Detached hands and eyes can retain powerful wills, absorb energy, cultivate independently, and become dangerous lifeforms 3410.
• Such fragments may attempt possession. The True Immortal’s Hand threatens to seize Ye Han’s body through backlash, while the True Immortal Eye takes over other bodies 3342 3410.
• A fragment does not necessarily retain a complete True Immortal’s abilities. The True Immortal Eye has True Immortal-level soul attacks but only Half-Step True Immortal power in its other attacks 3407.
• A disembodied immortal soul survives inside an everlasting immortal flower, preserves a complete soul aura, and gains a special life body through an unknown method 3501 3509.
• Reincarnation can preserve memories and an eternal lifespan. Night Spirit Immortal Emperor’s immortal soul embryo offers this route, although restoring cultivation would still require a long period 3649.

Artifacts and Secret Realms

• True Immortals are reputed to forge most Immortal Treasures and Supreme Immortal Treasures before those items circulate among other cultivators 3336.
• Their long lives allow millions or tens of millions of years of treasure accumulation and refinement, often bringing individual treasures to their utmost limits 3564.
• A True Immortal’s personal secret realm can suppress intruders and contain extensive medicine gardens, spirit pools, and terrain enriched by immortal qi 3630 3631.

Longevity and Limitations

Eternal Life Is Not Invulnerability

• True Immortals are exceptionally difficult to kill; suppression and sealing remain common methods even for opponents with True Immortal cultivation 3646.
• Missing original limbs can prevent recovery to peak strength. Victims of the Heaven-Sealing Calamity retain between roughly one-third and seventy or eighty percent of their former cultivation 3621 3670.
• Restoring those limbs can restore bodies and cultivation, but the returned parts may also contain restrictions capable of controlling immortal souls and qi 3667 3670.
• Killing a True Immortal is associated with heavenly retribution. Blood rain falls across the Chaos Immortal Cave when Ye Han devours imprisoned true-immortal-level beings 3526 3894.

Heavenly Dao Recognition and Rebirth

• Recognized True Immortals receive the Heavenly Dao’s protection and a possible opportunity for rebirth through an individual Heavenly Dao cycle after death 3646.
• The records Ye Han consults do not clearly establish whether this rebirth always occurs 3646.
• Recognition also creates dependence: the True Immortals in the Sealed Heaven Land regard themselves as effectively becoming Wretched Old Heaven’s vassals upon ascension 3657.

Great Heavenly Dao Cycle

• True Immortals seek Reincarnation Mystic Treasures to survive the approaching Great Heavenly Dao Cycle 3076.
• Some enter the Sealed Heaven Land seeking protective supreme treasures; certain places there are said to allow evasion of the cycle 3387.
• The Heaven-Devouring Wheel is sought partly because it contains a special power said to withstand the cycle 3558.
• The records available to Ye Han do not specify when the coming cycle will arrive 3645.

Three Great True Immortal Forbidden Lands

Location	Significance
Reincarnation Battlefield	An overwhelming repulsive force expels True Immortals and divine beasts who attempt entry. They therefore send weaker cultivators to retrieve Reincarnation Mystic Treasures 3076.
Sealed Heaven Land	Blocks the Heavenly Dao and prevents the immortal tribulation from descending. Its accessible Heavenly Dao energy is sealed inside Heaven-Sealing Lotuses; longstanding confinement and bodily losses weaken many True Immortals trapped there 3621 3644.
Inverse-God Void	Identified as another of the three forbidden lands. It suppresses cultivation, spell power, flight, divine sense, physical strength, and access to treasures 3733.

Role in the Myriad Realms

• Racial power: The Devil Race, Immortal Race, and Demon Race rely on backing from True Immortals, alongside numerous Half-Step True Immortals, to maintain their domains and control cultivation resources 2854.
• Delegated expeditions: Restrictions on the Reincarnation Battlefield force True Immortals such as Night Spirit Immortal Emperor to rely on candidates like Ye Han 2986 3076.
• Competition after ascension: True Immortals continue killing rivals and seizing resources to pursue higher realms; eternal life does not remove their need for greater power 3621.
• Freedom from higher powers: The True Immortals who enter the Sealed Heaven Land seek strength to challenge Wretched Old Heaven rather than remain his vassals 3657.
• Inverse-God rule: The Inverse-God Immortal Ancestor kills, suppresses, imprisons, or exiles True Immortals who refuse obedience, and sends many others into the Chaos Immortal Cave to obtain what he wants 3789.
