Crimsonbright Diagram of Nine Heavens

**Crimsonbright Diagram of Nine Heavens** is widely acknowledged as the greatest fiendgod body-refining technique until the Empyrean God stage. Even Mother Nuwa praised this technique.

It baptizes the user each time they advance through the use of Sun and Moon tattoos that grant a wisp of the powers of the Solar Star and Lunar Star upon them.

It was created by Daofather Crimsonbright. Training in it considered to be extremely tough, maybe even the toughest amongst all body-refining techniques. After Ji Ning became Patriarch Subhuti's disciple, he was given complete version of [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] which consisted of:

## First Scroll

The **Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens** had nine parts. The first scroll was divided into the Houtian, Xiantian, and Zifu Disciple levels.

* The first three levels (1-3) were for the **Houtian** warriors.
* The middle three levels (4-6) were for **Xiantian** lifeforms.
* The later three levels (7-9) were for the **Zifu** disciples.

### **Levels**

* **First:** A vortex of starlight, the Moon in one hand, the Sun in the other, Osmanthus Tree on the Lunar Star, Golden Crow on the Solar Star
* **Second:**
* **Third:**
* **Fourth:**
* **Fifth:**
* **Sixth:**
* **Seventh**
* **Eighth**
* **Ninth**

Upon reaching the **Xiantian** level, one would be able to control water and fire, and also possess astonishing physical strength. One’s body would be light and agile, and all six of the senses would be sharpened. Severed limbs would regrow.

Upon reaching the Zifu Disciple level, one would be able to regenerate from a single drop of blood. Thus, it also known as the "Blood-Drop Rebrith" stage.

## Second Scroll

The second scroll of the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens] also had nine stages to it. It consisted of the tenth, the eleventh, the twelfth…all the way to the eighteenth stage. These levels corresponded to the Wanxiang Adept, Primal Daoist, and Void stages. Upon reaching the eighteenth stage of the [Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens], one would undergo a tribulation. If one successfully endured that heavenly tribulation, one would become an Empyrean God!

Upon reaching the Wanxiang Adept level, one would have amazing powers, such as growing three heads and six arms, the Kuafu Sunchaser ability, or Shining Dragon Eyes ability. But of course, the prerequisite was that one would need to be trained in these magical powers.

Upon reaching the Primal Daoist level, one would be able to create a clone out of a single strand of hair. Naturally, these clones would be quite weak and not able to compare with a Primaltwin.

 The third scroll was the Empyrean God scroll.

 The fourth scroll was the True God scroll.
Hegemon Azurefiend

Hegemon Azurefiend was born a Chaos Godbeast. He succeeded in his Daomerge and gained eternity, becoming a Hegemon.

Autarch Ekong

As an Autarch, Ekong is one of the most powerful figures in Desolate Era. However, unlike other Autarchs, Ekong only became an Autarch after the Dawn War against the Sithe. Ekong claims to be a fairly nice guy who rarely kills people but is known as the Autarch of Annihilation due to the nature of his Dao and not his personality.

## Overview

Ekong is described as a young muscular man with booming laughter who emanates a heroic aura tinged with a terrifying, all encompassing dominance that hints at his hidden potential for destruction. Titanos calls Ekong a drakeling, which might indicate his race.

In battle, Ekong wields a greataxe to unleash strong, powerful blows but is also versed with sabers, shields and shuttles.

## History

Ekong first appears in the gathering of Autarchs held after Ji Ning mastered his Eternal Omega Dao of the Sword. At the request of Ji Ning, Ekong volunteers to help deal with the Yin-Yang Samsara wheels that would have eventually destroyed the Flamedragon Realmverse. While the wheels were a major problem to Hegemon Brightshore and the other Hegemons of the Realmverse, it could only withstand a few blows from Autarch Ekong before collapsing.

Ekong participated in the second war against the Sithe, the Dusk War, and was the first Autarch to encounter Sithe Exalts during the war. He was trapped in a formation temple commanded by seven Exalts, losing all orientation, and had to hold out for 12 days for Autarch Titanos' Avatar to arrive. He withstood attacks by the Sithe by activating his invulnerable form, and replenished his energy reserves by relying on the Chaosverse. Titanos was able to free Ekong but the Sithe formation activated a devastating attack that destroyed his avatar and heavily injured Ekong.

Ekong later joined the other Autarchs in ambushing the Grassland World. Though initially successful, the tide was turned when Iyerre appeared and the Autarchs were forced to flee.

When the Autarchs made their final stand at the Annihilation Hive, Ekong joined the other Autarchs in setting up the Sword Titan formation. Unfortunately, they were eventually overwhelmed by the power of Iyerre and his warbeasts. Ekong was one of the two survivors of the onslaught, the other being Autarch Bolin.

As Ji Ning ascended to a Lord of Chaos, the war ended without Ekong having to fight again. He is seen rejoicing as his fellow Autarchs are revived by Ji Ning.

Ekong lives on within the cultivator Chaosverse, which Ji Ning, its Lord of Chaos, renamed as the Desolate Chaosverse.

The Autarch left behind a single undiluted drop of the original Aeonian blood in this place, hoping that some of the many descendants of the Aeonian race would be able to grow powerful enough to absorb it.

Chaos Cycle

**Chaos Cycles** are the general time measurement units in the book. A chaos cyle is the time it takes for a Chaosworld to be born and die a single time, and is about 10 trillion years long. (Book 36 chapter 29)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

In Chapter 1214, it took Ning 60 billion years to craft a new skill and they described it: “Little more than half of the Chaos Cycle.”

In this instance, time was sped up 100x. So the actual time was 6 trillion years.

 Background

In the past, he failed his Celestial Tribulation and became a Loose Immortal. However, he developed a majestic sword art known the Three-Foot Sword that allowed him to reach new heights in the Grand Dao of Sword. He used this sword art to annihilate any evil-doer that he came across. His reputation became so immense that he was heralded as being equal to a Celestial Immortal.

When senior Northwalker acted, he did so in a manner which could be described in two words; ‘straightforward’ and ‘passionate’! That was the only thing he cared about, to the point where, when he saw the disciples of a supreme clan acting in sinful, wicked ways, he annihilated them all in his anger and even destroyed their souls. This resulted in him being pursued and attacked by this supreme clan, a pursuit which lasted for centuries. Immortal Northwalker had even been forced to flee from this major world, but over the course of this pursuit, he had grown more and more powerful. Afterwards, when he had returned, many of the powerful experts of that supreme clan were killed or injured, and in the end, they had been forced to lower their heads and admit defeat, paying reparations and reconciling themselves to him

Immortal Diancai also provoked a response from his legacy treasure but he unable to obtain all nine stances of the Three-Foot Sword as his soul was not strong enough.

He even found many sword arts in the Divinities Palace that were superior to the Three-Foot Sword, not to mention those present in the Three Realms Palace. He then came to the conclusion that while Immortal Northwalker was strong he was unable to compare to a Celestial Immortal.

Changed the format a bit, but it's nothing major. Saw this here and realized it would be a good idea to have something like this on the spoiler page for people who haven't caught up to the public translations.

\*AKA Ancestral Immortal. Since it says Ancestral Immortal on Ji Ning's page, I will be balancing it out and calling it Daofather of the Great Firmament here.

\*\*Power comparable to a Daolord of the Fourth Step despite only being a Daolord of the Third Step.
Seamless Gate

**Seamless Gate** is a major power from another major world that has invaded the Grand Xia World.

Seamless Gate was born from a chaosworld just like the world Pangu created. The races born from the chaos world are referred to as Fiends and the world was unified by The Lord of Demonheart. The Lord of All Things, an Outsider who roamed the primordial chaos had incited war between Pangu chaosworld and the seamless world. Thus, the first tribulation period where many True Gods and Daofathers occured and the both chaosworlds destroyed and the Three Realms was created. Seamless world was on the verge of winning the endwar against Pangu world but Nuwa made a break through to the World-Level, killing the The Lord of All Things and injuring the Lord of Demonheart. In order to save himself, The Lord of Demonheart merge himself with the heavenly dao, escaping from Nuwa as well as watching over the Three Realms. After the war, both sides negotiated a truce coexisting in the Three Realms and establishing their own forces.

## Structure

It has thousands of Loose Immortals who are known as the white-robed Envoys and 300 confirmed Celestial Immortals who are known as the gold-robed Envoys. Such power is equivalent to even the imperial Xiamang Clan.

Its headquarters are located inside a minor world that is connected to a cave within the Eastwoods Sect of the Flamedoor Commandery.

## History

### Book Fourteen

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 many sects and clans. They further reward those that cause chaos and mayhem or kill powerful Immortal cultivators.

While Immortal Diancai was going through his Celestial Tribulation, Ji Ning was attacked by Bloodcloud Hall's **Earthnine Squad** after they received an assassination mission from the Youngflame Clan. However, when they realized they were unable to kill Ji Ning, they teleported him to the Eastwoods Sect where the Seamless Gate was located. However, even the Eastwoods Sect's formations were unable to damage Ji Ning who practiced the [Eight-Nine Arcane Art]. Even when the Seamless Gate's Celestial Immortal ordered his nine Fiendgod subordinates to use the Divine Venomflame of the Nine Heavens on him, Ji Ning was unscathed. Thus, the Seamless Gate's Celestial Immortal decided to withdraw.

The Earthnine Squad tried their "final move" which was essentially to lure Ji Ning into a cave that was connected to the headquarters of Seamless Gate. This "final move" had managed to kill many arrogant Celestial Immortals that considered themselves infallible. However, due to Patriarch Subhuti's warning and his own subconscious giving him a bad feeling, Ji Ning decided not to enter the cave. Even True Immortals or Empyrean Gods would not be able to harm anyone in the Seamless Gate's headquarters and would only manage to leave with their lives.
Heartforce

The first stage was the elementary level. It was extremely hard to reach the first level; if you couldn’t succeed in it, you would have no hope of progressing as a Heartforce Cultivator.

The second stage, ‘iceheart’. To reach this level means being able to detach your heart from your body of flesh and rise above worldly temptations. This way, your heart remains a still pond as if it's been frozen solid.

The third stage, ‘ruler’. By reaching this level means the cultivator achieved spiritual supremacy over their fate and emotions.

The fourth stage, ‘mortal dust’. Though one comes from mortal dust, their heart rises towards the heavens. Understanding that you're are nothing more than dust, and desire to ascend into the heavens with limitless ambition. At this stage, one can also spread out their heartforce to sense their surroundings. This heartforce sense can spread much farther than divine sense and is almost impossible to detect unless someone also has stage four heartforce or above.

The fifth stage, ‘truth’.

The sixth stage, ‘world’. This is the highest level of heartforce.

Once your heartforce reached the sixth stage, all of your heartforce would pool together within that sea of consciousness. If your heartforce was strong enough, it could affect reality itself, forming a singularity where what was real and what was false would collide.

“Heartforce Cultivators cultivate their worlds. They need to establish their heartworlds, with their insights into the Dao perfecting those worlds and making them more and more real.”

Heartforce Cultivators look into a very stable dao. More Stable Dao more bigger heartforce world
