Anima

Ancestors
Sky Killer

## Overview

“ Heaven’s Will for anima; anima to reach immortality. Twelve wills are only the beginning, the path is still so long. „
— The person said with a tinge of emotion.

“ Twelve Dao Fruits to craft the perfect vessel for anima on the route to immortality. „
— There existed a phrase describing the apex.

## Description

Anima (真我: True Self) is the hidden power of the Fate Palace's Four Images. A unique power that belongs only to the individual. This force is so impressive that allow High Gods to match Grand Emperors. It is also hinted that a cultivator who masters the Anima can be stronger than another harnessing a Heavenly Treasure or a Paragon Artifact.

Anima, or the true self, is there at the initial inception. However, the chaos of life prevents people from seeing it. Cultivation is only a way to circumvent the chaos, whether with twelve wills or twelve fruits.

### **What is the Heavenly Dao?**

**According to Li Qiye** "In reality, it doesn’t exist. The heavenly dao is something that people hope exists. But if it actually does, then there’s only one, the true self or anima".

## Capabilities

Anima is the ultimate power a cultivator can achieve and the only one way to reach true immortality.

“ Anima is indeed supreme. Only truly reaching it would one be able to handle anything. Of course, it is still far off from immortality. „
— Li Qiye nodded.

## Requirements

In order to use Anima, it is necessary to understand the mysteries of the Four Images. A cultivator could begin to learn them if they are:

* Immortal Emperor
* 3 Heavens Wills Grand Emperor
* 3 Totem Set High God
* True Apprentice
* Mortal Shell

12 Heaven's Wills Grand Emperors have the possibility to truly grasp the power of Anima (归真) and reach the next level(progenitor equivalent).

## Return to True Self

In new epoch, Conquerors and Dao Lords that have 12 Dao Fruits can create dao tree in their bodies and can advance in the road of anima.

In the Seven Nights Epoch, those who cultivated the path of Heaven's Will , can get more wills of those they had in the Trinity Epoch and reach the anima.

## Return to the Sacred Self

In new epoch, Dragon Lords that have 12 Sacred Frutis can created a sacred tree in their bodies and can advance in the road of anima.

In the Seven Nights Epoch, those who cultivated the path of Totem , can get more totems of those they had in the Trinity Epoch and reach the anima.

## Beyond the true self

Those who broke through the limit of true self and reach **primordial true self(混元真我)** are called **Ancestors(作祖)**.Since ancient times there have been few who have reached that level.
It is the path to reach **Supreme Giant** and from there reach **Immortality**.

## Beyond the sacred self

Those who broke through the limit of sacred self and reach **saint origin self(圣元)** are called **Sky Killer(斩天)**.Since ancient times there have been few who have reached that level.
According to the cultivators of the Three Immortal World, no one who has taken this path has been able to reach a similar level to Supreme Giant.However, Li Qiye gives us a clue that could have information about future levels: 'Saint Origin becomes **Heavenly Eternity(天寿)**and Heavenly Eternity seek for Immortality'.
