1. World Structure:
- Main world: The Profound Azure Continent, divided into five regions: east, south, west, north, and central. Each region contains countless dynasties, sects, and secret realms. Spiritual energy grows denser from the outskirts toward the center, with the central region, known as the Sacred Domain, having spiritual energy that is almost liquid.
- Subsidiary planes: Three thousand minor worlds, such as the Demon Realm, the remnant of the Devil Realm, and the Ancient Gods' Ruins. Some are linked to the main world by spatial passages and can be traversed through realm gates. Their resources and rules vary: the Demon Realm, for instance, values bloodlines above all, while the Devil Realm is filled with baleful energy.
- Higher dimensions: The Nine Heavens Divine Realm and the Primordial Chaos Realm are the ultimate destinations, concealing the secrets of the world's origin.
2. Power System:
- Basic cultivation realms, from mortal to cultivator: Body Tempering, Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deification, Void Refining, Body Integration, Great Ascension, and Tribulation Transcendence. Each realm has early, middle, late, and peak stages. After overcoming the tribulation, one ascends to the Divine Realm.
- Special disciplines: Beast Tamers, who control spirit beasts; Alchemists, who refine pills, ranging from mortal-grade to divine-grade; Artifact Forgers, who craft magical artifacts, from mortal artifacts to divine artifacts; Array Masters, who lay formations, from mortal formations to divine formations; and Talisman Masters, who draw talismans. Each discipline has its own ranks and complements cultivation.
- Primal forces: Primordial Purple Qi and Chaos Power are key to breaking through to the ultimate realm, and can only be found in ancient ruins or the Divine Realm.
3. Root of the Central Conflict
I have listened to many books. This one is very well written.
