Mountain and Sea Realm

The ***Mountain and Sea Realm*** is a location within the Vast Expanse. It is where majority of the story of ***I Shall Seal the Heavens*** takes place in. The original realm was a magical treasure that Paragon Nine Seals created for his descendants to reside in after the Paragon Immortal Realm was destroyed.

It was attacked by the 33 Heavens, Immortal God Continent, and the Devil Realm Continent, leading to its destruction. The survivors fled on the Mountain and Sea Butterfly, hiding within the Green Coffin Vortex until Meng Hao transcended.

## History

Before the Mountain and Sea Realm existed, there was the Paragon Immortal Realm which ruled over 3000 Lower Realms. The Paragon Immortal Realm was where the Immortal was destined to be born, but because the Immortal can topple the Devil and God, their descendants waged war on the Paragon Immortal Realm in order to destroy the Immortal, thus the demise of the Paragon Immortal Realm.

Afterwards, Paragon Nine Seals created a magical treasure, the Mountain and Sea Realm for the survivors of the Paragon Immortal Realm. 33 out of the 3000 rebel Lower Realms were left over to guard the Mountain and Sea Realm, and became known as the 33 Heavens and one of many seals sealing the Mountain and Sea Realm from the rest of the Vast Expanse.

### The New Realm

The "new" Mountain and Sea Realm is a Transcendence Treasure that Meng Hao created after he transcended. With his cultivation base, Meng Hao altered the natural and magical laws and used the remnants of the Mountain and Sea Realm to recreate the new one. With his status as a transcendental cultivator, the New Mountain and Sea Realm became a Transcendental Treasure. He then used the power of Transcendence and his Demon Sealing Hexing magic to completely remodel the entire realm. It was now possible to say that the Mountain and Sea Realm had Hexing magic as its bones, the Mountains and Seas as its flesh, and the League of Demon Sealers as its soul.

Over countless epochs with countless wars and unending internal strife, the New Mountain and Sea Realm was destroyed until only the Ninth Mountain and Sea remained.

## Structure

The Mountain and Sea Realm consists of Nine Mountains which are orbited by Four Planets each and Nine Seas corresponding to the Nine Mountains. There is a single sun and moon that provides light for all of the Mountains and Sea Realm.  *See **Notes** for more information.*

### **Sun**

* The new Sun was created from Meng Hao's Supernova Magic. He granted it a Righteous Bestowal, giving it power equivalent to peak 9-Essence Paragons.

### **Moon**

After creating the Ninth Mountain, the Ninth Mountain and Sea was still incomplete as it had no Ninth Sea so, Meng Hao to fulfill his promise, bestowed Guyiding Tri-Rain the title of "Ninth Sea".[*citation needed*]

After tens of epochs the Ninth Mountain and Sea is the only remaining Mountain and Sea, this is most likely because Meng Hao was residing on it and not because of its power.[*citation needed*]
