Immortal Alliance

Biodata

History

Rise of Human Cultivation

In the Primordial Era, demons dominated Heavenly Abyss Star, while humanity survived as a weak, dependent race. Some humans sought protection through blood sacrifices. Others developed cultivation methods, culminating in the Beast-Borrowing Cultivation Dao, which allowed humans to surpass their former rulers 1 30 309.

Human cultivators eventually overthrew the demons and established the Immortal Alliance’s civilization. The surviving ancient Demon Race was driven into the depths of the Earth Abyss, while beasts within Alliance territory became central to human cultivation 1 461.

The Array Great Fiend’s Invasion

An Extraterrestrial Great Fiend once attacked the Alliance using a planet-refining version of the Soul-Refining Array. He killed the serving Hall Master of World Affairs Hall, forcing the Lord of Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven to intervene. The fiend was destroyed, but the grotto-heaven lord suffered grave injuries. Afterward, the Alliance sealed knowledge of the array and classified Soul-Locking Stones as Class One prohibited goods 72.

Government and Institutions

Ruling Powers

• Void Refinement Dao Venerables and higher experts determine the Alliance’s strategic direction; Spirit Transformation Venerables constitute its visible upper leadership 355.
• Nascent Soul True Lords belong to the middle and upper ranks and can hold regional administrative authority 390 416.
• Grotto-heavens and immortal sects permit cross-institutional study. Such cooperation is credited with helping the Alliance produce its flourishing cultivation civilization 616.

Three Major Institutions

The Alliance’s principal institutions suppress demonic factions and provide administrative postings for sect cultivators 367 416.

• External postings allow Nascent Soul cultivators to govern a commandery, temper their Dao hearts, and accumulate Alliance merits 416.
• Officials who accept illicit cultivation resources risk removal and severe punishment; such corruption nevertheless recurs 416.

Territory and Infrastructure

Heavenly Abyss Star

• Planetary formation: The Nine Heavens Star Constellation World-Suppressing Immortal Formation envelops Heavenly Abyss Star and locks down the power of its mountains, rivers, and earth veins 52.
• Effect on formation arts: Earth formations are greatly weakened under its coverage. Heaven and human formations therefore dominate Alliance practice 52.
• Earth Abyss bases: Fortified settlements support the continuing campaign against the ancient demons. Ten Thousand Layer Mountain City’s inner city houses an Alliance army garrison 450.
• Spirit Clans and Half-Spirits: Demonic beast factions serving the Alliance are called Spirit Clans; half-demons are termed Half-Spirits. Several such communities live around Ten Thousand Layer Mountain 450.

Spiritual Energy Administration

• Most of Heavenly Abyss Star’s Spirit Vigor has been brought under state control after tens of thousands of years of exploitation and development 3.
• Cultivators normally purchase permission to construct cultivation rooms and pay monthly spiritual-energy fees 3.
• Unauthorized absorption of wilderness spiritual energy is treated as theft and detected through Alliance formations 3.
• Resource conservation also shapes technical policy: the leadership discourages wasteful earth formations and promotes companion-beast weapon transformation as an alternative to resource-intensive treasures 52 215.

Cultivation System

Cultivating the True through Borrowed Beasts

The Alliance’s mainstream path uses companion beasts as the means to cultivate oneself, improve aptitude, and pursue the Dao 30 212.

• Shared advancement: Cultivators strengthen their beasts and receive cultivation and bloodline feedback in return 212.
• Shared-perception scenery: Draws heaven-and-earth Dao resonance into cultivation, purifies beast bloodlines, and accelerates growth 212.
• Observation release: Temporarily awakens latent bloodline powers and exclusive mystic abilities, producing combat strength beyond the beast’s ordinary realm 212.
• Illusion resistance: Cultivator and beast retain independent perceptions despite their contractual link, allowing one to notice an illusion affecting the other and help break it 347.
• Companion selection: Raising more beasts is not automatically beneficial. Excessive contracts can divide resources, muddle foundations, and scatter a cultivator’s efforts 342 360.

Beast Classification

Beasts within Alliance territory are classified by bloodline and potential cultivation ceiling 1.

Notable Methods

Access to Advanced Knowledge

• Immortal-Grade techniques point toward Void Refinement and Mahayana but cannot be purchased with Spirit Origin. Access generally requires exceptional patronage or entry into a grotto-heaven 45.
• The official website sells techniques up to Heaven Grade, though their spiritual-root requirements sharply limit who can practice them 45.
• High-level breakthrough secrets remain less accessible than ordinary lessons, even in a society where Golden Core cultivators livestream instruction 337.

Education and Social Mobility

• Spirit Beast Loans are offered to encourage talented students and are distinguished from predatory Cultivation Loans 9.
• Cultivation Loans compound principal and interest; debts can survive the borrower and burden descendants 9.
• Cultivation clans retain advantages in resources, inherited aptitude, and access to information. Long-lived patriarchs can support descendants across many generations 336 337.
• Chen Beiwu’s rise becomes an inspiration to ordinary cultivators who hope to cross those class barriers through talent and effort 516.

Economy and Resource Distribution

• Official marketplace: The Immortal Alliance Official Website sells cultivation methods, pills, artifacts, formations, talismans, and materials 45 51.
• Fortune requirements: Certain scarce goods require fortune as well as payment, including Foundation Establishment resources, Calamity-Breaking Golden Elixirs, and advanced Heaven-Grade technique chapters 51.
• Taxation: Taxes on official-website purchases are included in listed prices; such purchases also contribute to the buyer’s fortune 51.
• Beast-information bounties: Information about an unclaimed Earthly Sha Treasure Beast is worth at least ten Upper Grade Spirit Stones—equivalent to one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones 1.
• Combat-first reform: Preparations for war against another Great Thousand World shift resource distribution toward combat strength and military merit. Nascent Soul cultivators seeking Spirit Transformation resources are directed to earn contributions through star-conquering campaigns 430.

Law and Internal Problems

Prohibited Arts and Goods

Corruption and Abuse

• Some immortal-sect admissions personnel violate Alliance law through abduction, confinement, confiscation of communications devices, and unauthorized changes to applications 184.
• At Ten Thousand Layer Mountain, Chen Beiwu uncovers officials harming Spirit Clans to obtain blood and materials for Blood Amber Orchids. The network involves the Pure Fire Bureau, Healing Bureau, and Garrison Envoy’s residence 450.
• The Ancient Demon Cult recruits some of its Spirit Transformation leadership from Alliance-trained cultivators frustrated by stalled advancement or approaching death 671.

Military and Interworld Operations

Earth Abyss Campaign

• The Alliance continues fighting the Earth Abyss’s Three Great Demon Kingdoms, suffering substantial annual casualties despite its dominance of Heavenly Abyss Star 116.
• During a mist calamity, the Southern Abyss Deep Thirty-Six Division Desolate-Quelling Army is annihilated by Green Hill beast hordes. The formation includes at least three Nascent Soul True Lords, and a Fifth-Realm Demon Venerable is suspected of intervening 459.
• Alliance leaders exploit divisions between Green Hill’s Hardline and Peace factions. The Peace Faction is required to kill corrupt Alliance cultivators connected to the hardliners 461.

World-Reclamation Strategy

• Initial expeditions commonly use lower-level cultivators for reconnaissance, with ample compensation but potentially severe losses 371.
• World capacity restricts which experts can enter. Some Middle Thousand Worlds also harbor beings approaching Half-Step Void Refinement, making premature deployment of senior forces dangerous 371.
• The All-Stars Pivot registers returning explorers’ gains, as shown when Chen Beiwu brings back a creation origin beast egg 537.

Relationships

• Ancient Demon Cult — A persistent internal enemy targeted for eradication. Its pursuit of ancient-god immortality involves plundering, devouring, experimentation, mutation, and blood sacrifice 379 671.
• Green Hill Demon Kingdom — An Earth Abyss rival whose hardliners seek restored demon supremacy, while its Peace Faction pursues accommodation with the Alliance 460 461.
• Spirit Clans — Demonic beast communities in Alliance service; some publicly teach cultivation and recruit both beasts and impoverished human cultivators 450.
• Chen Beiwu — An Alliance-educated cultivator whose Nascent Elixir method earns recognition as a potentially major contribution to its cultivation system 2 311.
