Season 1 Location: State of Yue, Tiannan

Season 2 Location: Scattered Star Seas (...)
The Scattered Star Seas is very distant continent where Han Li teleported to using the ancient teleportation array. It's an accumulation of many islands where human and beast cultivators "co-exist", it would take many years flying even as a Nascent Soul to get there from Tiannan.
...
1) Every large sect has one or more Nascent Soul cultivators overseeing them, which is the case for both sides. However if they were to participate in this war, the Seven Sects Alliance would still have been heavily outmatched by the Demonic Dao Alliance, when it comes to the numbers and strength of these Nascent Soul cultivators.
2) The Three Great Cultivators of Tiannan are the only three cultivators in Tiannan at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul. These are, Wei Wuya of the Nine Nations Alliance, Venerable Master Zhiyang of the Righteous Dao Alliance, and Old Demon Hehuan of the Demonic Dao Alliance.

Rules of Body Possession
- Cultivators cannot take over the bodies of mortals, otherwise the body will collapse on its own because it cannot withstand the possession.
- Only when a person with higher cultivation takes over the body of a person with a lower cultivation can they succeed and avoid being retaliated by the other party, and the greater the cultivation gap, the safer it is.
- Cultivators can only possess another person's body once in their lifetime, no matter how powerful they are. If they try it a second time, their soul will cease to exist. Exception is with the nascent soul.
Spiritual Roots
Spiritual roots come in five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water. It enables a person to cultivate by absorbing the spiritual qi (灵气) of heaven and earth in the respective element. Fewer spiritual roots means fewer types of spiritual qi needed to absorb, resulting in a faster cultivation speed. However the fewer spiritual roots, the harder or near impossible it will be to progress in cultivation beyond the mortal realm. |
Type | Amount | Description |
Heavenly (天) | 1 | One element. The cultivation speed is several times that of ordinary spiritual roots, and there are no bottlenecks when forming a golden core. Extremely rare, once every 100 years. |
True (真) | 2-3 | Two to three elements. The average cultivator. |
False (伪) | 4-5 | Four to five elements. Extremely hard and slow cultivation, as it requires a huge amount of resources. But extremely beneficial beyond the mortal realm. |
Mutated (变异) | 1 | A combination of two or three of the five elements. The cultivation speed rivals that of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots, but there are still bottlenecks when forming a golden core. Rare, once every 20 years. |
Cultivation (Mortal Realm)
The realm of cultivators is divided into five realms. Each higher realm leads to a more condensed spritual qi (灵气), stronger magic power (法力), a stronger soul (元神) and a stronger spiritual consciousness (神识). Except for Qi Condensation (13 Layers), each realm is divided into Early, Middle, Late Stage. There are also more specific terms within these realms and stages, such as Peak, Great Perfection and Half-step. Peak is at the pinnacle of a stage. Great Perfection is at the pinnacle of a realm. Half-step is one step away from breaking through to the next realm. The difference between each stage, let alone each realm, is huge especially in higher realms. It's extremely hard to defeat someone with a higher cultivation level, but not entirely impossible (1). |
Realm | Lifespan | Description |
Qi Condensation (炼气) | ~100 | Practitioners can use the spiritual roots to absorb and circulate spiritual qi, cleansing the body and opening the meridians to form a sea of consciousness, and accumulate and condense the gaseous spiritual qi in the Dantian (sea of qi). Cannot completely be called cultivators yet as the mortal body still requires food to function, and mostly reliant on martial arts, magic instruments (2), basic spells and talismans. To break through to Foundation Establishment, the Dantian is filled and Foundation Establishment Pills should be taken to greatly increase the chance of success. |
Foundation Establishment (筑基) | ~200 | Cultivators can start learning more advanced spells and techniques. They have a heightened spiritual consciousness to sense the surrounding area and people, and to control magic instruments, puppets and pets. The innate true fire coming with this cultivation can be used to refine pills and magic instruments. To break through to Core Formation, the liquid spiritual qi in the Dantian is condensed and formed into a solid golden core. |
Core Formation (结丹) | ~500 | Cultivators can use the alchemy fire from the golden core to refine magic treasures and their own natal magic treasures (3), which is connected to the soul and grows in strength along with their cultivation level. Magic instruments are no longer needed for flight. To break through to Nascent Soul, the golden core is forcefully broken and the soul is further refined, manifesting into the form of an infant, a nascent soul. Also a heart demon tribulation must be passed. If one fails and miraculously survives from the backlash, the odds of another try is near zero, as one has to restart from zero with their certainly low remaining lifespan and severely damaged foundation. |
Nascent Soul (元婴) | ~1000 | Cultivators can have their nascent soul separate from their physical body. This can be used to survive if their body gets destroyed. They can possess another body, however every possession will weaken the nascent soul. To break through to Soul Transformation, a profound comprehension of heaven and earth is required. The nascent soul directly interacts with the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and is in harmony with the five elements. |
Soul Transformation (化神) | ~2000 | The highest realm attainable in the mortal realm, which is needed to ascend to the spirit realm. Cultivators in this realm have the nascent soul harmonized with the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and the five elements, achieving an indestructable body. They generally refrain from taking action, as the spiritual qi in the mortal realm is too scarce and drawing upon it will consume their own lifespan. |
1) Combat power = Cultivation level + Cultivation techniques + Items (eg. magic weapons, spirit beasts, elixirs) + Spiritual consciousness
2) Magic instruments (法器) are usually used by Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators, due to the low barrier of refining and use.
3) Magic treasures (法宝) are usually used by Core Formation cultivators and higher. The difference between magic instruments and treasures is in the materials, difficulty and cultivation used to refine it, the cultivation required to fully make use of it, and its strength. Natal magic treasures (本命法宝) have the ability to grow in strength along with cultivation level and with the time nurturing them.
