The Scattered Star Seas (乱星海Luàn xīnghǎi) also known as simply the Star Seas refers to an wide area in the middle of an ocean north of the Endless Sea littered with islands both large and small that are usually linked to Spiritual Veins.[1] It is the northernmost continent of the Mortal Realm.

Geography[]

The Scattered Star Islands is a region in the middle of an ocean that's littered with islands both large and small. Half of the islands are affected by heavenly winds and beastly tides, and are thus deserted. There are more than 10 islands rich in Spiritual Veins, but most are already inhabited by cultivators.[1][2]

The Star Seas are divided into two parts:

It's possible to fly from Scattered Star Seas to the Great Jin, but the journey may take upward of 10 years, and is quite perilous. There also exist ancient teleportation formations, but they are of limited availability.[3]

Three Great Natural Disasters[]

The region suffers under three major natural disasters:

The Heavenly Winds refers to biennial hurricanes that sweep through the entirety of the Star Seas. "The areas it passes suffer from monstrous sea waves, destroying lives and shelters. If we were not on an island protected by immortal techniques, us mortals would face certain doom. It is also said that if an Immortal were to be dragged into a heavenly wind, it would be extremely difficult to escape, and they would likely die within."[4] They are so tumultuous, that even a Nascent Soul cultivator would not escape unscathed.[2]

The Beastly Tides refers to the endless surge of demonic beasts, who are hard to tame, in the sea and on land. Every few decades they migrate arbitrarily, and will need to be slain.[2] "It should be known that most of the demonic beasts of the sea are beyond huge and are proficient in water attribute demonic techniques. Us mortals have no way of dealing with them. Only Immortals are able to strike them down."[4]

The Ghostly Fog is a most mysterious black mist that often drifts erratically across the sea in a certain area, without ever approaching the larger islands.[4] For reasons unknown, every cultivator who has encountered it has either ended up dead or injured.[2] "Any life trapped within that black mist will not escape from it. If mortals see it, their death is already decided. As for cultivators, they are no exception either; if cultivators see it, it will be far too late for them to escape as well." It's easy to preserve one's life, as long as one takes precautions. "As a result, this particular natural disaster has killed the fewest people despite being the most fearsome."[4]

Currency[]

The main currency in the Star Seas are Spirit Stones, consistent with the rest of the cultivation world. Rare cultivation materials, most notably Demon Beast Cores, are also usable in bartering with other cultivators and organizations - also consistent with the rest of the cultivation world.[?]

As for the value of spirit stones, a grade five demon beast core could be sold for nearly a thousand spirit stones. As for grade six demon cores, the profits would be enough to fund a Foundation Establishment cultivator for a lifetime


Resources[]

The Scattered Star Seas have an abundance of cultivation resources that include rare and ancient spiritual herbs, spiritual energy veins, ancient treasures, and Demon Beasts. There are more cultivation materials in higher grades, than the State of Yue on the continent. However, access to these cultivation materials is much more difficult with cultivators needing to brave much greater danger to slay Demon Beasts for their Demon Cores which are used in producing pills to lend great assistance when cultivating to higher stages. Unlike the continent, it is easier to find Fifth grade and higher Demon Beasts.[?]

History[]

Records have even said that in ancient times, regardless of whether it were the inner or outer seas, demon beasts reigned supreme, and cultivators were trapped on small, solitary islands. After an unknown amount of time, the previous generations of the Scattered Star Seas managed to slay the demon beasts one by one, making way for the development of the current Inner Star Seas... While the origins of its creation are uncertain, some believe that it was established by ancient elders that eliminated the demon beasts. Others said that an ancient hero united the Scattered Star Seas at the time, while other rumors are endless and equally contested.[1][5]
