Also known as the Mortal World or Human World, it is one of several Mortal Worlds in the Lower Realm.
Current Situation[]
In the Mortal Realm, Late and Peak Nascent Soul cultivators are allowed to reign supreme and are considered "Great Cultivators" in any region. The damaged World Origin Energy restricts Deity Transformation cultivators from using their vast abilities to overpower these "Great Cultivators". Deity Transformation cultivators would suffer backlash attempting to replenish World Origin Energy expended in combat. As a result, Deity Transformation cultivators prefer to recluse themselves from the dealings of the Mortal Realm. They would normally stand as peak power-houses in other Worlds within the Lower Realms.
There have only been a few cultivators capable of reaching Deity Transformation stage in the last 2,000 years. Most of them have ascended to the Spirit Realm,[1] leaving only 5 Deity Transformation cultivators in the Great Jin - Xiang Zhili, Eccentric Feng, Hu Qinglei, Old Ghost Bai and Old Demon Che.[2] Since Deity Transformation cultivators are very powerful, they have rules among each other. Engaging in conflicts between other beings of the same power level strictly prohibited and Deity Transformation cultivators are also not allowed to take part in any matters in the cultivation world.[3]
The Mortal World is divided up into several regions.[]
| World View | ||
|---|---|---|
| Far West Region | Great Jin Region | Scattered |
| Endless Sky Plains | ||
| Heavenly South Region | ||
| Region | Description |
|---|---|
| Northern Seas | A vast sea infested with Demon Beasts located north of the North Night Island. |
| North Night Island | The North Night Island is a peninsula connected to the northernmost part of the Great Jin. The North Night island itself is 100,000+ kilometers long. It is governed by a single super-power - the North Night Palace. The island is sparsely populated. |
| Great Jin | A continent that is known as the heart of all cultivation in the Mortal World. It is also revered as the sacred land of cultivators. North of the Great Jin is North Night Island and south are the Great Plains. Unlike other regions, Mortals and Cultivators interact for mutual benefits. |
| Great Plains | A great plain that connects the Great Jin with the Heavenly South. The southern pole is located within these plains. The plains are governed by two competing super powers - the Soaring Tribes and the Moulan Tribes. As a result the great plains is also known as the Moulan Prairies and the Endless Sky Plains. |
| Heavenly South | The Heavenly South is a continent. To its south are the Great Plains and to its north is the Endless Seas. The Heavenly South is looked down upon by the rest of the cultivation world within the Mortal World. This is due to scarcity of cultivation resources such as high-grade Demon Beast cores and materials for treasure refinement. The Heavenly South is governed by four competing super powers. |
| Far West | Separated from the Heavenly South Continent by thousands of kilometers of desert plagued by fierce windstorms. Additionally, the Far West is the size of only two medium-sized countries in the Heavenly South and they are quite impoverished. As a result, while most of the Heavenly South know of their existence, no one finds it worth the effort to make it past the desert. It is also said that the entire area is ruled by the Thousand Bamboo School. |
| Five Dragon Seas | A vast sea. It is reachable using a teleportation formation hidden in the Great Jin. |
| Endless Sea | A vast calm sea with very little life and no islands. It connects the Heavenly South to the Scattered Star Seas. The life that exists lives under water. While the creatures living in the Endless Seas are not Demon Beasts, they possess mortal abilities equivalent to a Core Formation cultivator. |
| Scattered Star Seas | The Scattered Star Seas is an archipelago in the middle of an ocean. The islands within the archipelago are divided into two regions, an inner Region where human cultivators reside and an outer region infested with high-grade Demon Beasts. To the south of the Scattered Star Seas are the Endless Seas. |
Background[]
War against the Elder Devil Realm[]
During times of antiquity, there was once a path between the Elder Devil Realm and Mortal Realm. The Elder Devils from the Elder Devil Realm invaded using these spatial tears.[4] The ancient cultivators battled against Elder Devils for countless years, to stop them from wreaking havoc. After assistance from the Spirit Realm,[5] the cultivators were able to kill them one by one by using numbers to their advantage.
Consequences[]
- The injuries and casualties in the war were said to be innumerable, leading to the extinction of many ancient techniques and spirit beasts. It had much to do with the decline of ancient cultivators.[6]
- Discovery of the existence of the Elder Devil Realm led cultivators to follow Devil Dao. They established techniques that were similar to the abilities of Elder Devils.[6]
- The presence of Devils and the temporary connection with the realm resulted in devilish Qi entering the Mortal World. This infusion damaged the World Origin Energy of the Mortal World resulting in a lower density of Spiritual Energy[7] in comparison to other Mortal Worlds. The Spiritual Energy is considered sparse for cultivators from higher realms. Three Kunwu Masters sealed a majority of the devilish Qi in areas with the most abundant spiritual Qi, like Kunwu Mountain or Endless Sea. They used the pressure of these sites to suppress the corruptible Qi.[8]
- As a result of the sparse Spiritual Energy and damaged World Origin Energy, there are few cultivators that are able to reach the Late-Deity Transformation stage to ascend to the Spirit Realm without using reverse spirit streams (spatial nodes).[9] There are Deity Transformation stage cultivators wandering the Mortal World searching for these streams (nodes). Furthermore, sparse Spiritual Energy is the reason for scarce cultivation
