The Dongxu World
The story takes place in the Dongxu World, a vast cultivation realm filled with powerful sects, ancient ruins, spiritual beasts, and countless cultivators pursuing immortality.
The world itself is rich with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, a natural energy that allows living beings to cultivate power, extend their lifespan, and pursue the Dao.
Powerful sects dominate different regions of the world, raising disciples and competing for resources, ancient treasures, and spiritual lands. Among these sects once stood a legendary power known as Ji Xia Sect.
However, due to unknown calamities and conflicts in the distant past, the sect eventually fell into ruin. Its disciples vanished, its treasures disappeared, and its once-glorious halls were reduced to broken remnants.
Now, Yan Fu has arrived in this world with the mission of restoring the Ji Xia Sect to its former glory.
Cultivation System of the Dongxu World
Cultivation is the process of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, refining it within the body, and understanding the Dao.
The path of cultivation is divided into ten major realms.
1. Mortal Body Realm
This is the first step on the cultivation path.
Cultivators begin strengthening their bodies and awakening their meridians so spiritual energy can circulate within them.
At this stage, practitioners gain improved strength, endurance, and physical abilities.
Sub-stages:
• Early Mortal
• Middle Mortal
• Peak Mortal
Most ordinary warriors and soldiers remain within this realm.
2. Spirit Gathering Realm
At this stage, cultivators begin gathering spiritual Qi inside their bodies.
The flow of energy through their meridians becomes stable, allowing them to perform basic cultivation techniques and martial arts.
Sub-stages:
• Early
• Middle
• Late
• Peak
Talented cultivators can progress quickly through this realm.
3. Foundation Establishment Realm
This stage focuses on building a stable cultivation foundation.
Spiritual Qi becomes more refined, and the body becomes resistant to illness, poison, and fatigue.
A strong foundation is essential for reaching higher cultivation realms.
4. Core Formation Realm
Cultivators condense their spiritual energy into a Golden Core within their body.
This core acts as the center of their cultivation power.
Practitioners at this stage gain significantly increased strength and can wield powerful spiritual techniques.
Many sect elders reside within this realm.
5. Nascent Soul Realm
The cultivator forms a spiritual soul inside their body.
This allows them to expand their spiritual consciousness, control energy outside their body, and greatly increase their lifespan.
Cultivators at this stage are considered true masters.
6. Dao Manifestation Realm
At this level, cultivators begin understanding and manifesting their personal Dao.
The Dao represents the path they follow in cultivation.
Examples include:
• Sword Dao
• Fire Dao
• Healing Dao
• Beast Dao
• Phoenix Dao
Their techniques become far more powerful and unique.
7. Heavenly Transformation Realm
The cultivator's body begins transforming into a semi-celestial form.
They can freely fly through the skies and command natural forces with ease.
Cultivators at this stage are considered legendary figures.
8. Celestial Realm
Those who reach the Celestial Realm possess power comparable to divine beings.
They can destroy mountains, manipulate massive amounts of spiritual energy, and dominate entire regions.
Such cultivators are extremely rare.
Yan Fu currently possesses power around this level.
9. Divine Ascension Realm
Cultivators nearing godhood.
They can manipulate space, control powerful laws of nature, and influence the world on a massive scale.
Very few beings in history have ever reached this realm.
10. Eternal Dao Realm
The final and ultimate stage of cultivation.
Those who reach this level have fully mastered their Dao and possess nearly immortal existence.
They stand above all other cultivators as legends of the cultivation world.
Special Physiques
Some individuals are born with rare and powerful bodies known as special physiques.
These physiques allow them to cultivate faster and unlock unique abilities.
Celestial Pink Jade Phoenix Emperor Body
This is the rare physique possessed by Li Fei, the first disciple of Yan Fu.
Abilities include:
• Extremely fast cultivation speed
• Fire and healing energy affinity
• Phoenix-like regeneration potential
• Strong leadership aura
Those with this physique are destined for greatness if properly guided.
Guardian Beast Ranking
Powerful spiritual beasts can become guardians of sects or companions to cultivators.
They are ranked according to their strength and lineage.
Spirit Beast
King Beast
Ancient Beast
Divine Beast
Celestial Beast
The guardians currently serving Ji Xia Sect include:
Vorath – The Ancient Black Lion
A beast embodying shadow, dominance, and primal power.
Aetherion – The Celestial Stallion
A divine creature representing purity, healing, and celestial magic.
Together they form the foundation of the sect's defensive power.
As the Ji Xia Sect begins to rise once again, more disciples, guardians, and powerful figures will gather under its banner.
The journey to restore its former glory has only just begun.
