Xuanyang Realm is a continent composed of "main veins" and "branch veins" intertwined. It has no clear national boundaries. The regions are divided by "boundary vein concentration". The core settings are as follows:
- **Boundary Veins System**: The energy source of the Xuanyang Realm is not spiritual energy, but "boundary veins" - energy channels similar to the blood vessels of the earth. Boundary veins are divided into "bright veins" (visible and absorbable to everyone) and "dark veins" (hidden in the ground/secret realm, requiring special abilities to perceive). The practitioners are called "pulse cultivators", and the levels from low to high are: pulse disciple → pulse practitioner → pulse master → pulse master → pulse king → pulse king → pulse king → pulse saint → pulse emperor.
- **Zone division**:
- Low vein area: For example, in the "Qingxi Region" where the male protagonist was born, the bright veins are thin and the dark veins are almost extinct. The highest pulse cultivator can only reach the level of pulse master, and most of them make a living by farming and low-level pulse skills.
- Midline area: such as "Lanzhou Territory" and "Cangwu Territory", where the bright veins are strong and the dark veins are scattered. There are medium-sized forces (such as sects and meridians), and the strong men of the meridians are the top combat power.
- High Vein Area: Such as the "Xuan Vein Core Area", where bright veins run like rivers, and dark veins intertwine into a network, hiding ancient secret realms, where powerful men such as the Pulse King and above gather, and are the core area of influence of the boundary vein tide.
- Restricted areas: "Meteor Vein Abyss" (the dark vein turbulence area left by the ancient realm's meteorite, the pulse power of those who enter will be swallowed), "Broken Vein Gorge" (the main vein fracture is filled with violent vein power, but contains the "vein crystal" to repair the boundary vein).
