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
The Reincarnation Divine Ancestor later identifies its builder as Ye Chuang, who gathered divine-artifact refiners to construct it. Ye Chuang placed a strand of Reincarnation Qi within the pagoda, enabling its master to locate the Reincarnation Treasure Key and reach the Divine Ancestor's secret realm. 1642
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
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
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

- Strengthens and purifies Lu Ren's Primordial Reincarnation Sword Body. 1487
- Can neutralize invading power, though it is consumed in doing so. 1487

- Is tied to Lu Ren's comprehension of the Reincarnation Divine Rule and the Reincarnation Great Dao. 1487 1642
