Background / History

According to Xiao Man, the pagoda was built by countless ancient gods over hundreds of thousands of years to resist a great tribulation in which heaven and earth collapsed and the gods perished. It was lost after that calamity, later reappearing several times and provoking wars among gods for possession of it. 599

Later revelations establish that it is far older than this legend suggests. Netherbone Dao Venerable identifies it as the foremost of the Ten Primordial Treasures, born at the opening of the Great Thousand World alongside the Primordial Forces, before the evolution of the Heavenly Dao. It possesses authority over reincarnation, life, and death, and is said to be capable of reversing the cycle of life and death. 4203

Ye Chuang gathered master divine-artifact refiners to rebuild and modify the damaged pagoda as part of his plan to preserve hope for the Human Race after the Calamity Transformation. 1698 2102 The Reincarnation Divine Ancestor confirms that Ye Chuang placed a strand of Reincarnation Qi within it, enabling its master to locate the Reincarnation Treasure Key and reach the Divine Ancestor's secret realm. 1642 Ye Chuang later tells Lu Ren that he did not originally give him the pagoda: it came from someone who resembled Lu Ren. 2268

The first three accessible levels were additions made by Ye Chuang and the artifact refiners to the damaged original artifact. The fourth level reached by Lu Ren is therefore described as the pagoda's “true first level,” an intrinsic portion of the artifact rather than one of Ye Chuang's later constructions. 2102

Lu Ren initially knows it only as the Nameless Treasure Pagoda. A mysterious man identifies it as the Reincarnation Ancient Pagoda and tells Lu Ren that its time-cultivation function is merely a fraction of its actual power. 586 Xiao Man later recognizes the name and explains its legendary history. 599 A black-robed figure claiming to be Lu Ren describes using the pagoda at the end of his life to send a sliver of divine sense into the past; the full implications of his account remain unclear. 1220

After its repair, Little Broken Tower regains its memories and recounts that Lu Ren's father carried both his newborn son and the pagoda while pursued by Great Venerable Wu Yue. The pagoda was badly damaged in the conflict. According to the artifact spirit, Lu Ren's father then forced it to acknowledge the infant as its master and sent him a million years into the future using Space-Time Laws. 2299

Ancestral Land Legacy

Ming Qitian previously used the Reincarnation Ancient Pagoda to establish the seal around the Reincarnation Netherkin Ancestral Land. The seal suppressed the Six Paths Reincarnation Origin Embryo, an innate Dao artifact linked to Reincarnation Nether Mountain's earth veins, whose leaking Reincarnation Tribulation Aura had endangered the Reincarnation Netherkin and mutated its bloodline. 4424

As the pagoda's new master, Lu Ren can enter this sealed land despite not being a Reincarnation Netherkin. Little Broken Tower indicates that the pagoda's connection to Ming Qitian is the reason for this recognition. 4423 4424

The pagoda's aura and Lu Ren's Remnant Qi of the Void of Destiny Battle Body lead Netherbone Dao Venerable to speculate that Lu Ren may be Ming Qitian's reincarnation. This remains unconfirmed. 4203

Little Broken Tower later suggests that Ming Qitian may have deliberately left the Six Paths Reincarnation Origin Embryo and the Six Paths Reincarnation Canon for a future master of the pagoda. This is its conjecture, not an established account of Ming Qitian's intentions. 4427

Structure and Internal Areas

Time Reincarnation Formation

The original accessible space is governed by a Time Reincarnation Formation based on the Reincarnation Great Dao. Time cycles and resets in intervals of one hundred years, but Lu Ren's cultivation and consciousness do not reset; this permits immense periods of training without affecting his lifespan. 684

  • One hundred years inside correspond to one second outside. 586 684
  • The formation can be replenished with Time God Stones. Six stones provide 100,000 years of operation. 1492
  • The formation eventually ceases after its available time energy is spent, opening access to further levels. 1252
  • It initially lacks spiritual energy, a weakness later addressed through the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree. 643
  • After the pagoda becomes connected to the Immortal Realm, its cultivation environment gains abundant Immortal Realm spiritual energy and is reported to provide a tenfold cultivation-speed advantage. 2357
  • At this later stage, its internal time is reported as ten years for each external year. 4040

Profound Spirit Pure Land

The pagoda contains eight thousand years' worth of Profound Spirit Pure Land, capable of cultivating seventh- and eighth-tier spiritual herbs. 631

  • Its expanded storage space can hold large quantities of Spirit Stones and treasure chests beyond the capacity of an ordinary Storage Ring. 141
  • The Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree can connect to other dimensions and draw in potent spiritual energy for the pagoda. 643
  • Lu Ren spends 10,000 years inside cultivating the Great Tomb Sky Step and mastering alchemy while the tree grows. 671

Primordial Reincarnation Sword River

The second level contains a vast river filled with Primordial Reincarnation Sword Qi and governed by its River Spirit. 1252

  • It provides the inheritance of the Primordial Reincarnation Sword Body, described as the foremost body in the Seven Realms when perfected. 1252
  • The River Spirit warns that only one person in the previous million years had cultivated the body to perfection. 1252
  • A level is stated to open every million years after the reincarnation formation is restarted. 1254
  • The second level also seals an Ultimate Dao Immortal Weapon, identified later as materials including the Immortal Slaying Soldier and Immortal-Smiting Iron, which can break formations. 2495 3330

Reincarnation Qi Altar

The third level first opened by Lu Ren contains an altar bearing Reincarnation Qi, a primordial purple energy. 1487

  • Tempers the body and cleanses impurities.
  • Strengthens and purifies Lu Ren's Primordial Reincarnation Sword Body. 1487
  • Can neutralize invading power, though it is consumed in doing so. 1487
  • Recovers by absorbing the Great Dao of heaven and earth. 1487
  • Is tied to Lu Ren's comprehension of the Reincarnation Divine Rule and the Reincarnation Great Dao. 1487 1642

Eight Divisions Pagoda Mountain

The pagoda's true first level contains the Eight Divisions Pagoda Mountain, a Buddhist sacred mountain from the Immortal Realm. 2103

  • Suppresses Divine Souls and Immortal Souls.
  • Uses the Eight Divisions Pagoda Scripture to cleanse the sins of imprisoned souls. 2103
  • Converts suppressed souls into sources of origin power and faith, helping the artifact spirit recover. 2103 2104
  • The King of the Great Tomb's Nirvana-level Divine Soul is imprisoned beneath the mountain and eventually converted. 2104
  • It is later upgraded into an Ultimate Dao Immortal Weapon. 3353

Calamity Cage

A later third-level chamber contains the Calamity Cage, a purple crystal engraved with living lightning, fire, wind, and other calamity patterns. 3330

  • Seals Calamity Heavenly Tribulations. 3330
  • Requires a key forged by Little Broken Tower from Immortal Slaying Soldier fragments; Lu Ren himself must perform the opening. 3330

Abilities & Functions

Time Cultivation

The pagoda grants Lu Ren extraordinary internal training time while leaving his lifespan unchanged. 586 684

  • Supports long-term cultivation, martial-skill training, alchemy, herb cultivation, and artifact refinement.
  • Can operate for periods ranging from 100,000 years to millions of years depending on its available time energy. 684 1492
  • Time God Stones replenish the Years Reincarnation Array and restore the artifact spirit's power. 1492 1535
  • Its later connection to the Immortal Realm provides a sustained tenfold cultivation-speed advantage through the Immortal Realm's spiritual energy. 2357
  • Its time flow does not stack with the time-altering effect of the Primordial Sun Crown. 2895
  • Lu Ren continues using it for extended cultivation in later realms, including a century spent attempting to reach the Forbidden Extreme Realm of the Return-to-True Stage. That attempt does not produce a breakthrough. 4531

Storage and Resource Cultivation

Its internal space functions as a large treasury and cultivation domain. 141 631

  • Stores massive quantities of Spirit Stones, materials, pills, and other resources. 141
  • Cultivates high-tier spiritual herbs in the Profound Spirit Pure Land. 631
  • Houses the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree, which supplies abundant spiritual energy from other dimensions. 643 671

Suppression and Soul Conversion

The pagoda can capture, imprison, and convert powerful souls through Eight Divisions Pagoda Mountain. 2103 2104

  • Extracted the King of the Great Tomb's Divine Soul from the Great Tomb Seed. 2103
  • Bound and suppressed that Divine Soul beneath the sacred mountain. 2104

  • Cleaves both the target's body and spiritual origin.
  • Is used only after the pagoda burns 900 Time God Stones to force its activation. 1995
