Itinerant Immortal Realm

Unlike the breakthrough to Essence Soul realm, the breakthrough to the Skyimmortal realm comes without a second chance. Once the Earth Immortal start crossing their tribulation there is only three possible outcomes: becoming a Skyimmortal, dying at the hands of the Heavenly Tribulation, or becoming a Itinerant Immortal.

If a Earth Immortal fails at their breakthrough to Skyimmortal realm but doesn't die in the Heavenly Tribulation, their mortal body is destroyed and only their essence soul remains. From that moment on they will be called a Itinerant Immortal.

## Stages

There are no stages in the Itinerant Immortal realm.

Without the mortal body shackles, one's essence soul can grow without limits, making a Itinerant Immortal's cultivation very easy. If the Dao is strong, then the essence soul can become stronger!

As such, if one's Dao reaches the Skyimmortal pinnacle, the Itinerant Immortal Dharmic powers will also reach the Skyimmortal pinnacle. If the Itinerant Immortal attains a Great Dao, then their Dharmic powers will also reach the Golden Immortal Level.

However being a Itinerant Immortal represents the end of the road for most cultivators, as they forever can only be a Itinerant Immortal. Itinerant Immortals are also suppressed by the heavens, and have to cross tribulations every millennium.

If a Itinerant Immortal is lucky enough to reach in just 12,000 years the Half-step Heavenly Dao Realm with defensive capabilities at the Heavenly Dao Realm and with a soul strong enough, there is a chance to survive the 12th and last tribulation, gaining eternal life.

## Tribulations

Each millennium the Itinerant Immortal must cross one tribulation, with successive tribulations increasing in strength. To shoulder 9 tribulations, a Itinerant Immortal must have reached the Golden Immortal mighty figure strength.

The Three Realms only have had 11th Tribulation Itinerant Immortals, with strength comparable to a Perfected Golden Immortal. No one has ever shouldered the 12th tribulation.

Because of the might of the tribulations and the short time to increase their strength before the next tribulation arrives, most Itinerant Immortals of the Three Realms are already dead.

The only Itinerant Immortal of the Three Realms to ever survive the 12 tribulations and gain eternal life was Sword Immortal Qin Yun.

After surviving the 12 tribulations, the Itinerant Immortal will also gain the ability to create 129,600 avatars. The sheer number of avatars is superior to all experts in the Three Realms, even those at the Heavenly Dao Realm. This ability is related to surviving the last strike of the tribulation.

1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 The 12th Tribulation is a tribulation of Wind, Fire, Lightning, and Soul. One must fist overcome the Yin Wind, which attacks the Essence Soul, the Heart Fire, which attacks the Dao Heart, and then nine bolts of Heavenly Lighting, with the ninth at the Heavenly Dao Realm. After that the Wind, Fire, and Lightning tribulations will complement each other and attack together, releasing a strength fifty percent greater than the ninth lightning bolt. Then finally comes the last strike, a formless attack that ignores any defense and brings about a trial of Soul. At this point only a soul powerful enough to resist the endless pain and torture of being teared into thousand of pieces can survive the tribulation.
