Geography and Locations
- Regional abundance: The Central Plains produces more gifted cultivation prospects, or “immortal seedlings,” than the Eastern Wasteland, Southern Ridge, Western Desert, and Northern Plains 39.
- Ancient sites: It is reputed to contain numerous ancient ruins and spiritual riches, attracting Taiyi as a destination for obtaining inheritances 36.
- Scale: After identifying his position in the eastern Central Plains, Taiyi learns that the Yin-Yang Sect’s main city is still several million miles away 36.
| Location | Description and significance |
|---|---|
| Eastern Central Plains | Taiyi’s arrival area. He emerges in a desolate desert and later reaches a large ancient city populated by cultivators 36. |
| Qinling | Located in the western Central Plains. Taiyi identifies it as the location of Nine Secret: Bing and heads there after escaping the Yin-Yang Sect 36 50. |
| Yin-Yang Ancient City / Yin-Yang Divine City | The Yin-Yang Sect’s headquarters and pure land. Its city has nurtured dragon qi for more than two hundred thousand years; the sect holds its recruitment outside the city 40 42 50. |
| Mysterious Sun Mountain | Site within the Yin-Yang Sect where Taiyi obtains a sage’s legacy, the complete Ancient Yin-Yang Scripture, and sage enlightenment 44 45. |
| Chaos Immortal Soil | Hidden immortal land discovered after Taiyi detects a Dao mark beneath a marsh. It contains a Five-Colored Altar and an Immortal Pool 36 37 40. |
| Red-Flame Flood Dragon’s lair | Holds high-grade dragon marrow. Taiyi steals it while the dragon battles Yin-Yang Sect experts; its subsequent fury destroys surrounding mountain ranges 47 50. |
Major Powers
| Power | Position in the region |
|---|---|
| Four Great Immortal Dynasties | Ancient powers whose legacies produced Ancient Great Emperors. Their domains are protected by Extreme Dao Emperor Weapons 9 45. |
| Yin-Yang Sect | One of the region’s oldest great sects, described as second in strength only to the Four Great Immortal Dynasties. Its inheritance centers on the Yin-Yang Dao 25 33 35. |
Regional Politics
- Resistance to outsiders: Although Central Plains sects feud with one another, they oppose outside intervention. Taiyi reasons that an all-out Yaoguang invasion of the Yin-Yang Sect could prompt the Four Great Immortal Dynasties to unite against it; this remains his assessment rather than a depicted intervention 45.
- Dragon-qi cultivation: Many great sects and undying divine dynasties build cities to nurture dragon qi, gradually turning their territories into divine lands 40.
- Competition for successors: Recent regional talents include the Yuhua King Physique, Hades Physique, and Twin Kings Physique. Wang Yangzhan considers the Yin-Yang Sect’s Holy Son and Holy Maiden comparatively lacking 40.
Cultivation and Inheritances
Yin-Yang Traditions
- Yin-Yang Great Dao: The Yin-Yang Sect’s supreme art ordinarily assigns the yang diagram to men and the yin diagram to women. Their union produces a powerful combined technique 25.
- Regional saying: “Yin-Yang Unity, invincible under heaven!” expresses the technique’s reputation in the Central Plains 25 33.
- Yin-Yang Mirror: A weapon originating in the region, also renowned and widely imitated in the Eastern Wasteland. The Saintess’s imitation nearly draws Taiyi’s soul from his body 49.
Hidden Treasures
- Chaos Immortal Soil: Taiyi obtains divine source liquid, chaos immortal gold, and five or six medicine kings more than a hundred thousand years old 38.
- Five-Colored Altar: Its central Immortal Pool supports Taiyi’s cultivation. Resonance with the altar later subjects him to destructive five-element power and bodily reconstruction, helping him develop a rudimentary Martial Dao Heavenly Eye 39 40 41.
- Nine Secret: Bing: Taiyi’s intended next inheritance, located in Qinling; he has not obtained it by the end of the documented journey 50.
Story Role / Major Arcs
| Arc | Events |
|---|---|
| Conflict with the Eastern Wasteland | Yin-Yang Sect cultivators attack Taiyi while secretly gathering gifted children outside their home region. Yaoguang retaliates against their bases and orders agents to hunt the sect’s Holy Son and Holy Maiden in the Central Plains 24 27 33 34. |
| Taiyi’s arrival | Taiyi redirects an ancient formation in the Qian Kingdom to the Central Plains, intending to take the Yin-Yang Sect’s inheritance. The formation becomes damaged after his passage, preventing two mysterious pursuers from immediately following 35 36. |
| Discovery of the immortal land | During his westward journey, Taiyi discovers the Chaos Immortal Soil, harvests its treasures, and undergoes cultivation and bodily transformation at the Five-Colored Altar 36 37 38 39 40 41. |
| Yin-Yang Sect infiltration | Disguised as Jin Yang, Taiyi enters during the sect’s triennial recruitment and conceals his aptitude. He eventually obtains its complete ancient scripture and a sage’s enlightenment 42 44 45. |
| Limited interregional retaliation | Yaoguang’s agents fail to kill the Yin-Yang Holy Son and withdraw. The sect reaches an agreement with Yaoguang, while Eastern Wasteland powers devastate most of its holdings there 45. |

Wang Yangzhan blames Yaoguang after finding traces of its Holy Light Technique.
