True Immortal

Biodata

Power Progression

The table follows the cultivation route leading into and beyond Pure Yang True Immortalhood. Dao Integration is an alternative to proving the Dao, not a mandatory intermediate stage 230 307.

Classification and Terminology

Dao Integration and Proving the Dao

• “Dao Integration True Immortal” is a respectful form of address. God Immortals are described as a notch below True Immortals, and many are sensitive about being called “God Immortal” 268.
• “True Immortal” has both broad and narrow uses. Grotto-Heaven True Immortals belong to the broader terminology, but comparisons between “True Immortals” and “Celestial Immortals” distinguish the immortal-body stage from the grotto-heaven stage 230 395 436.
• “Immortal Venerable” ordinarily denotes a Celestial Immortal in the True Immortal Great World. Li Xian receives this honorific while still a True Immortal after defeating Liu Xianyi 400.

Specialized Dao Fruits

• Maintaining these specialized attainments at higher realms demands stronger foundations. Becoming a Limitlessness True Immortal does not guarantee the ability to open a Limitlessness Grotto-Heaven 345.
• Some lower-realm cultivators abandon specialized Dao Fruits to advance to Celestial Immortal prematurely, leaving their potential unrealized 418.

Cultivation and Abilities

Dao Fruit and Great Dao Origin

A Pure Yang True Immortal’s Dao Fruit provides access to Great Dao Origin power 307 321.

• Foundation requirement: The true body must support a sufficiently powerful domain to seize the Great Dao. Even a successful seizure can fail if the resulting Dao Fruit crushes the cultivator’s Upper Origin Grotto-Heaven 307.
• Continued cultivation: True Immortal cultivation involves approaching the Great Dao Origin and mastering increasing amounts of its power 349.
• Detectable power: An all-out release of Origin power can be sensed by other True Immortals hundreds of thousands of li away and detected through specialized formations 321.

Immortal Body

Attaining a Dao Fruit allows the cultivator to reconstruct the true body as a genuine energy-based immortal body 383 392.

• Higher capacity and output: The immortal body supports more Immortal Power and greater explosive force than the preceding true body 392.
• Resource-intensive transformation: Completing the process in the lower realm can require tens of thousands—or more than one hundred thousand—Pure Yang Immortal Pills 392.
• Incomplete bodies: Most Pure Yang True Immortals in the True Immortal Great World have not finished transforming their immortal bodies 400.
• Destruction limit: A shattered True Immortal body is lost. A Celestial Immortal can instead rebuild an immortal body while its grotto-heaven survives and retains sufficient power 419.

Immortal Arts and Combat Strength

Annotations in the Most High Miro Precious Edict rank the components of a True Immortal’s strength in this order 441:

1. Immortal Art attainment
2. Immortal Body strength
3. Mental will
4. Immortal Artifacts and Dharma Treasures

• Practice costs matter: Immortal Arts consume Immortal Power during training; some also require materials. Resource scarcity therefore limits both combat readiness and technical development 400.
• Realm does not determine victory: Exceptionally talented True Immortals can contend with Celestial Immortals. Li Xian defeats Liu Xianyi shortly after his breakthrough 395 399.
• Grotto-heaven advantage: Celestial Immortals can hold hundreds or thousands of times more Immortal Power, making prolonged battles especially dangerous for True Immortals 325 395.

Longevity and Tribulations

Five Declines of the Celestial Person

• The tribulation recurs once every 129,600 years, equivalent to one epoch 176 383.
• Surviving it grants another cycle of the same length; continued survival makes a True Immortal’s lifespan theoretically endless 410.
• Dao-Uniting God Immortals are particularly susceptible to Dao transformation, losing themselves completely 230.
• This conditional longevity differs from the immortality attributed to Great Dao Golden Immortals, who endure alongside the Dao 349.

Immortal Realm Gate

• True Immortals can draw upon Immortal Realm energy; Loose Immortals lack this ability but can ascend through the Immortal Realm Gate 176.
• When the gate opens, Great Dao Origins converge. This assists Loose Immortals’ ascension but rapidly drives Dao Integration cultivators toward Dao transformation and forces Pure Yang True Immortals to ascend or leave the world 329.
• During the forced opening, even Lu Linyuan estimates that he can resist the pull for only one or two months without stirring Origin power 331.
• Their departure leaves major formations without True Immortal supervision, creating opportunities for weaker cultivators to challenge established factions 331.

Immortal Realm Ratings

Sharpened Edge Tower’s star certification measures combat strength, distinguishing cultivators within the same realm 419 421.

• Immortal Realm standards can exceed lower-realm expectations: Li Xian judges Longjue True Immortal, ranked eighty-first on the Longkan Immortal Dynasty’s True Immortal Ranking, capable of contending with Liu Xianyi 415.
• On the Redflame Battlefield, True Immortals normally must join or establish a squad of at least three members. Li Xian’s eight-star certification qualifies him to operate under Celestial Immortal rules instead 423.
