The church was erected sixty million years ago. It is an extremely evil and crazed cult whose disciples are often pursued by the Raindragon Guards due to the vast amount of karmic sin that surrounds them.

Throughout its existence, Blood God Church has always felt hatred towards the Northmont Clan. However, since it had been weak, it had always suppressed the hatred it felt.

## History

### Book Fourteen

It was originally not too powerful even amongst the eight major powers of Stillwater Commandery. Recently, however, it became affiliated with the Seamless Gate. Soon after the Conclave of Immortal Destiny took place, Seamless Gate entered the Grand Xia World and began to provide secret arts and treasures to the church. This allowed the Blood God Church, which had always hated the Northmont Clan, to finally unleash their hatred upon them. Despite the fact that Seamless Gate had only slightly helped it, the church became powerful enough to tussle with the Northmont Clan. It fought many times, and at many different locations, with the Northmont Clan but it was never the slightest bit inferior to it.

Scion of the Blood God, the sect leader of the Blood God Church, received an intelligence report from an envoy of Seamless Gate regarding the location of Immortal Diancai's Celestial Tribulation. He immediately took the Seven Law Protectors of the church to kill Immortal Diancai since he saw it as a chance to cripple the Black-White College, the Northmont Clan's most loyal supporter. They attacked Immortal Diancai after he began his Demonheart Tribulation feeling like it would be an easy task to hinder him. However, Ji Ning held back Scion of the Blood God while his Primaltwin killed all of the Seven Law Protectors. Suddenly, Ji Ning was attacked by Bloodcloud Hall's **Earthnine Squad** which allowed Scion of the Blood God to get closer to Immortal Diancai but he was unable to penetrate the formations set down by Uncle White. In fact, he became trapped within a different formation. A few days, Immortal Diancai succeeded his Celestial Tribulation which forced Scion of the Blood God to use a precious Greater-Teleportation Dao-Seal to escape.

Ji Ning/Cultivation

## Cultivation

[1]

1. Using "~" to imply an approximation because even Ji Ning seems to lose track of the years.
2. *All ages listed are the approximate unaccelerated age (example: JN stays in temporal treasure for 1000 years but only 1 year has passed in real time, thus he's only gained 1 year of age)*
3. *After Ji Ning reaches the 4th step Daolord level there are several time skips, many of which are unclear as to whether they refer to accelerated time or "real" time. However Book 39 Chapter 4 confirms that Ning's "Real" age is slightly less than 100 Chaos Cycles.*
4. *Accelerated time counts towards body age, there is technically a "total" time the person has been alive and that would count towards time left before end of life such as the 108,000 chaos cycles of a daolord, this was confirmed in B37 C19 where JN thinks of his primaltwin who's in accelerated time of 100X and that after 1000 chaos cycles his twin would've accrued 100,000 chaos cycles of total time and would need to do the daomerge in order to stay alive.*
5. *After Ji Ning reaches the Omega Emperor level with his primaltwin, he develops "mana" from the chaos seals of the azureflower manor in B43 C13. This results in a fusion of divine power, immortal power, and heartforce that perfects his body and "restores" his fiendgod cultivation to Omega Emperor.*
6. *After Ji Ning reaches Omega Emperor, he develops "mana", a combination of heartforce, divine power, and immortal power; which "restores" his fiendgod refining cultivation to his primal twin in B43 13, where his primaltwin's body becomes more perfect from a fusion of all 3 powers.*

DON'T TRY TO MATCH THE CULTIVATION REALMS IN THIS WIKI GUIDE WITH THE ONE IN THE LIGHT NOVEL; THE NAMES ARE ALL MIXED UP.

## Progress of Cultivation

### The Three Realms (Books 1-23)

1. Due to fusing his clones together, his second tier Jindan is now comparable to a first tier Jindan.
2. Acknowledged as a top-tier supreme being in the 3 realms universe.
3. Becomes the ultimate supreme being in the three realms almost equal to Nuwa and Pangu.
4. All the ages of Ning includes the real time of the World. Accelerated time was not counted in the ages.

### The Flamedragon Realmverse (Books 24-38)

\*\*\* Becomes comparable to supreme Samsara Daolord of the fourth step. Daolord 'apparent' cultivation +1 level above current.

\*^ 1 Chaos Cycle = 10 trillion years

\*^2 All the ages of Ning includes the real time of the World. Accelerated time was not counted in the ages. For example at the end of book 37, Ning spent more than 1500 chaos cycle if you count the accelerated time, but I only counted the Real time which was 15 chaos cycle.

DM (Doesn't Matter) = After breaking through to the chaos immortal level the class of a jindan doesn't matter anymore.
Mowu

Keeper Everwood

**Keeper Everwood** was a member of the Seamless Gate.

Everwood was an ‘overlord’ character of the Seamless Gate, someone whose power and strength had reached the Elder God level.

## History

Keeper Everwood was gentle and kind. He delighted in collecting various types of wood, which was a very strange hobby for a major power to have. The reason why he gave himself the name of ‘Everwood’ was because the type of wood he was the most infatuated with was a type of wood known as Everwood. This was a form of naturally-occurring wood within the Seamless Chaosworld. Keeper Everwood found and collected every single specimen of this type of wood, then titled himself the ‘Keeper of the Everwood’.

He disliked battle, and he never quarreled with others. Whenever anyone asked him for advice, he would give them guidance. Thus, many major powers viewed themselves as being in his debt. When the Seamless Chaosworld still existed, his reputation within that world was exceedingly high. If he wanted to struggle with others over control of the world, the Lord of the Demonheart would’ve most likely found it extremely difficult to truly unify it under his command. Fortunately, Keeper Everwood didn’t desire power, and so he ended up swearing an oath of brotherhood with the Lord of the Demonheart, becoming the number-two figure of the entire Seamless Chaosworld.

His power was truly unfathomable!

He was extremely skilled in formations, spells, and divine abilities. Most terrifying of all was that wooden ruler he carried on his back; his true power lay in close combat.

Keeper Everwood had many friends from the Nuwa Alliance. Even the likes of Daoist Three Purities, Tathagata, and Patriarch Subhuti had been good friends of him.

Lord Jiang

Ji Ning (19th patriarch)

Redsnow (20th patriarch)

**Mount Innerheart** is a large mountain that is hovering in the skies above the Cloud Continent. It is the headquarters of Patriarch Subhuti and his base of power. It is located at the heart of Tristar Crescent Abode which he created.

The Divinities Palace can be accessed by anyone be they Patriarch Subhuti's direct disciple, his grandisciples or even their servants or spirit-beasts. The Three Realms Palace, however, can only be accessed by Patriarch Subhuti's direct disciples that have cleared all nine floors of the Divinities Palace.

There are three places of note within the mountain: the Daoist monastery where the Old Patriarch lives, the Divinities Palace that serves as the Dao repository for the school and the Three Realms Palace that contains the most supreme Divine abilities, secret arts and formations that the school possesses.

### **Divinities Palace**

It is divided into nine levels containing all sorts of techniques, formations, sword arts, evasion arts, lightning arts or divine abilities. The strength, rarity and profoundness of the abilities go as one ventures higher up the palace.

To learn the arts from the Divinities Palace one must first overcome a trial depending on the floor the art is located on. There are two types of tests: manual labor tasks or combat trials.

For the manual labor tasks, one simply has to carry out the manual labor prescribed. These are easy as they don't require anything other than time. Each successive floor's task takes longer than the preceding floor's (see below).

The combat trials, instead, require one to fight and win against nine different golems that are at nine different levels of ability but using the same level of cultivation as the challenger. This is the only method to acquire an art from the ninth floor.

Depending on which golem one defeats, one can pick any art or technique from the corresponding floor. One can challenge the same golem multiple times but each time the golem will become more powerful as their attack pattern will start to become more complicated and their abilities will become more diverse.

### **Known Techniques**

[Heavenraker Sword Formation] - Ninth floor

[Nuwa Visualization Technique] - Ninth floor

[Waters of Heaven] - Ninth floor

[Qiankun Sword Song] - Third floor

### **Three Realms Palace**

Only personal disciples or those with special dispensation from the Old Patriarch can acquire any of the techniques or secret arts from the Three Realms Palace and they are only permitted to learn a few of the techniques, not all of them.

There are nineteen books within the palace and they consist of nine divine abilities and ten secret arts, formations, other varied techniques and each has a trial that one must first pass before they can learn it.

### **Known Techniques**

 Torch Dragon’s Eye
 Houyi’s Archery
 Eight-Nine Arcane Art
 Xingtian’s World-Destroying Axe
Daofather Fuju

**Daofather Fuju** was reputed to be the number one Sword Immortal of all the Three Realms. He trained in a sword-art called [Five Treasures] sword-art, and the speed of his sword was said to have surpassed the speed of light and the limits of the Heavenly Dao.

## Description

Fate had never been kind to Ji Ning. Wracked by illnesses and infirm his entire life on Earth, Ning knew early on that he would die as a teenager. What he didn't know was that there really was such a thing as life after death, and that the multiverse was a far larger place than he thought.

A lucky twist of fate (one of the few in Ning's life) meant that Ning was reborn into a world of Immortals and monsters, of Ki Refiners and powerful Fiendgods, a world where Dynasties lasted for millions of years. A world which is both greater...and yet also smaller...than he ever could imagine. He would have the opportunity to join them, and in this life, Ning swore to himself, he would never let himself be weak again! The e*ra* he was born into was a *desolate* one, but Ning would make it his era.
Spirit Beasts

* Diremonsters: Monsters that are the strongest race alongside the Humans. Although there is a lot of friction between low-level Diremonsters and Humans, the leaders of Diremonsters and Humans have good relations.
* Terrorbeasts: Beasts that had exceptionally violent dispositions who delighted in slaughter and murder. They were referred to as ‘beasts’ was because they had many bestial characteristics. Their claws and appendages, for example, were often comparable to incredibly powerful magic treasures.

### Types of Magical Beast

* White-Faced Flood Dragon: A primordial Terrorbeast. A Creature with a white, humanoid face, covered with black scales, two arms, and two legs. It was thirty thousand meters tall, but its draconic, serpentine body was ninety thousand meters long. They were born with the power of Empyrean Gods. They were awe-inspiringly famous and were perfectly suited for battle.
