Fifth Mainland

## Introduction

The Fifth Mainland is one of the six Mainlands which existed since the Heavens Sect era, lead by the Origin Progenitor. The Lu Family were in charge of the Fifth Mainland, with many families that existed underneath them such as the Bai family, the Xia family, the Wang family and the White Dragon Clan. The Fifth Mainland was pre-cursor to the Human Domain, with a glorious era with many Progenitors during the Daosource Sect era. After the collapse of the other Mainlands, the Fifth Mainland contained the remnants of the previous four Mainlands. After the Fifth Mainland had a war against the Sixth Mainland and lost, the Lu family alongside many of the family migrated to the Mother Tree, also known as the Perennial World.

The Fifth Mainland consists of the Human Domain, the Astral Beast Domain, and Technocracy, with the Astral Wilderness outside of the Fifth Mainland, and the Astral River that connects with the Sixth Mainland through the Starfall Sea.

## History

### Heavens Sect Era

The Dao Monarch was one of the Three Realms, Six Paths, a legendary ancestor with the Lu family lead by Lu Tianyi, a Dao Chosen of the Fifth Mainland during the Heavens Sect era and became the Lu family's leader the Fifth Mainland. For the Lu family, one person is as strong as a nation, one person can lord over all, their innate gift of Investiture of Gods and Champions' Stage allowed them to anoint the living and the dead for them to summon; a single member of the Lu family represents power. The other four powers of Celestial Frost Sect, Shenwu's Sky, the Wang family, and the White Dragon Clan being underneath Lu family's rule with the Lu family had multiple Progenitors and strong enough to be the leader of all the other four powers.

Countless years ago, there existed the six mainlands but the first four Mainlands had fallen due to the Aeternal's plots, and what had remained had merged with the Fifth Mainland.

### The Daosource Sect Era

The Daosource Sect era existed where the Lu family had lead the Fifth Mainland with the existence of the other families underneath the Lu family. A new generation of cultivators from the Fifth Mainland had grown and managed to inherit all Nine Mountains and Eight Seas, something that was never replicated since the Heavens Sect era. Progenitor Chen as a branch member of the Xia family had rose up from the oppression and cultivated the Nine Clones Secret Technique with nine Progenitor clones and became a Progenitor who accupied two Mountains and one Sea; Progenitor Ku who was low-key, the mysterious Rune Progenitor, the wise Progenitor Hui who was known for his intelligence, Celestial Frost's Progenitor Bai Wangyuan, Wang family's Progenitor Wang Fan, Progenitor Smoke, and Lu Tianyi who remained.

The Fifth Mainland lead by Progenitor Chen had invaded the Sixth Mainland through the manipulation of the Aeternals and by Wang Xiaoyu, the Wang family's biggest traitor and was Progenitor Chen's lover. The Fifth Mainland had overwhelming amount of Progenitors with all Nine Mountains and Eight Seas being controlled by the Fifth Mainland, but due to the Aeternals' interference, the Fifth Mainland suffered a crushing defeat. The Fifth Mainland’s Daosource Sect collapsed and was taken away by the Sixth Mainland. The Fifth Mainland had their road towards advancing to the Progenitor Realm severed by the Sixth Mainland by having their sky being covered as a result of the defeat.

The Lu family took on the infamy in order to protect the Fifth Mainland, migrated most of the families and powers of the Fifth Mainland to the Mother Tree that serves as a barrier through Progenitor Hui's Ceaseless Impetus. The remaining powers on the Mother Tree were then known as the Perennial World. Lu Tianyi left behind the Tri-Yang Ancestral Qi technique to Arch-Elder Zen, and the Champions' Stage, alongside many of the inheritance left by the Fifth Mainland Progenitors to protect the Fifth Mainland, with Arch-Elder Zen establishing the Hall of Honor to govern over the Human Domain.

Those from the Perennial World regarded those from the Fifth Mainland as stowaways, and the Fifth Mainland as the forsaken land as they believed that all of the inheritance had been brought over to the Mother Tree and not much remained on the Fifth Mainland. Due to the abandonment, the Fifth Mainland had resentment towards the ruling parties of the Perennial World which resulted in the persecution of the Primeval Surnames if any were discovered in the Fifth Mainland.

### Fifth Mainland Daosource Sect

When it came to the Mainlands, every Mainland had had their own Daosource Sects. The Daosource Sect of the Fifth Mainland had once contained all of the Nine Mountain and Eight Seas; each had inheritance for Progenitors that existed since the Heavens Sect era.

The Fifth Mainland's Daosource Sect has four main mountain gates: First Divine Gate, Second Supreme Gate, Third Azure Gate, and Fourth Imperial Gate. The Second Supreme Gate is near the First Divine Gate, but the Third Azure Gate and Fourth Imperial Gate are further away. Despite the Second Supreme Gate being closer, it still takes a few days to get to the Second Supreme Gate from First Divine Gate.

The Daosource Sect of the Fifth Mainland was one of the main site of which the battle between the Progenitors took place which caused alot of destruction and lost towards the Daosource Sect. After the Fifth Mainland lost the war, the Daosource ruins of the Fifth Mainland was lost to the Sixth Mainland and given to them after the defeat in the war. What is left of the Daosource Sect are the four main mountain gates and the aftershock from the ancient battle still persists and is dangerous to the younger generation that try to acquire their fortunes. To access the Daosource Sect requires futons which those from the Human Domain of the Fifth Mainland only had ten, while the Sixth Mainland had majority of the futons.

First Divine Gate had guardians throughout the entrance. Pass the Five Divine Gate contains the Budding Terrance which they say that battle techniques, cultivation arts, power vessels, bloodlines, and even secret techniques might be found there. The Scripture Hall was an area with ancient characters floating about that emitted a faint gold radiance. There was a mountain range in the background with waterfalls cascading down that split apart into smaller streams, and in front of them, there were ancient characters floating about. Each one was about one square meter in size, and they floated about the sky and even within the white clouds. Some were quite close to each other while others were quite isolated. No one could see the end of this region. The Scripture Hall contains scriptures from the Heavens Sect era. The Heaven's Pit contains the palm print of Progenitor Chen's attack.

### Modern Human Domain

After the crushing defeat of the Fifth Mainland by the Sixth Mainland, the Hall of Honor had managed to preserve Five Mountains and Four Seas of what's left of the Daosource Sect and placed it within the Hall of Honor Astral Tower.

After the Sixth Mainland had invaded the Fifth Mainland when the Sea King had opened up the Three Upper Gates, the Sixth Mainland had uncovered that the Fifth Mainland still had hidden their strength and their heritage could not be underestimated. The Human Domain still had Seven Semi-Progenitor realm cultivators guarding, as well as relics from previous Progenitors such as the Rune Progenitor or plans that spanned the eons left by Progenitor Hui. The modern Human Domain had many forms and means towards protection against the Sixth Mainland.
