Summary - Updated on February 16, 2025

The Lord of the Heavenly Patch is Heishan Laogui’s work after Plunder the Lands. The story follows Fang Yuan, a young man from a poor background, who achieves the top rank on the Immortal Roll after ten years of arduous cultivation.

Information

The story background is relatively dark. The Tianyuan world faces a major calamity every three thousand years, with dark creatures descending to ravage the land. Countless powerful cultivators have fallen to stop this calamity, but have only bought three thousand years of peace. Can Fang Yuan permanently resolve the impending calamity and protect the common people?

Cultivation Levels

Qi Refining: Divided into levels one to nine.

Foundation Establishment: Divided into levels one to nine. There are three types of Foundation Establishment: Ordinary Foundation Establishment achieved with Foundation Establishment Pills; Five Elements Foundation Establishment achieved by absorbing the Qi of the earth veins; and Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment achieved by absorbing the Qi of the Heavenly Dao.

Core Formation: Divided into levels one to nine. Cores are classified as Azure, Crimson, White, Gold, and Purple. Only by achieving a Purple Core does one truly embark on the path to immortality and have hope of achieving the Immortal Dao.

Nascent Soul: The lowest level is the Ghost Infant, which fears sunlight and flames and can even be dispersed by vigorous blood Qi. Next is the Spirit Infant, which possesses powerful strength, is not harmed by light and flames or ordinary weapons, is not afraid of human Qi and blood, possesses more life-saving methods and instincts, and can also use divine abilities. Above the Spirit Infant is the Divine Infant. Those who cultivate this type of Nascent Soul can travel to the four fields with a single thought, traverse the heavens and the earth, and are like gods. The strongest is the Supreme Nascent Soul, also known as the “Immortal Infant”! Cultivating this Nascent Soul makes one almost immortal and indestructible, able to enter the nine heavens void above and the yellow springs hell below, travel hundreds of thousands of miles with detachment, and manifest divine powers at will, and cannot be harmed by non-divine weapons.

Transformation Stage: Initially, there are no levels. To achieve the Transformation Stage, one needs to borrow immortal essence. Later, one transforms with their own Heavenly Dao power, breaking the rules and causing others to transform with a wave of the hand.

Great Ascension: Transforming into a world with a single thought, understanding the mysteries of the creation and destruction of heaven and earth.

Transcendence: Wielding the world, parting the mists to see one’s true nature, is to transcend.

Immortality: Witnessing the birth and death of all things, the mind remains unchanged.

Emperor Realm: Dominating the heavens, sitting on the peak of the Great Dao, observing the changes of the primordial chaos.

Dao Source True Understanding:

The cultivators on Kunlun Mountain gathered together to deduce methods to resolve the great calamity, and recorded the scriptures on the immortal record of the Azure Dragon Divine Guard Ma Ang. On the surface, it talks about how to cultivate the mind, but in reality, it contains the wisdom and obsession of countless high-level cultivators (which can be used to deduce cultivation techniques, formations…). Even after they have died, a trace of their obsession remains through the immortal inscriptions. They no longer have spiritual awareness, but after being obtained by an inheritor, they will still use that person as a basis, using his sea of ​​consciousness and foundation, to continue to deduce methods to resolve the great calamity.

Originally obtained by Gu Song, the Supreme Elder of the Qingyang Sect, but he never researched anything in his lifetime. It was covered in dust in the Qingyang Sect’s library, and later obtained by Fang Yuan, who obtained the permission to use “Heavenly Evolution Technique” because he passed the test of the Kunlun Mountain sages’ obsession hidden within it.

Hongmeng Dao Qi (Dark Demonic Breath):

Because there were too many human cultivators in the Thirty-Three Heavens, so many that the Great Immortal Realm could not bear it, the descendants of the Di Xuan lineage, “Great Fool Immortal,” were ordered by the Immortal Emperor to find a method that could guarantee the resolution of the Great Immortal Realm’s pressure, but without shaking the stability of the Great Immortal Realm and the Di clan’s transcendent status.

Because of a chance encounter, he refined the most evil thing in the world, but accidentally discovered the most beautiful thing from these most desperate things. When things reach their extreme, they reverse, and heaven and earth are distinct. The greatest hope was originally buried in the greatest despair, so he reversed this most evil thing, and Hongmeng Purple Qi was born, which is the most vibrant thing in the universe.

Of course, to some extent, this is just a superficial phenomenon. Hongmeng Purple Qi also contains indescribable danger. It belongs to the universe, and it is very close to the Dao. However, the Dao itself has the principle of destruction, so Hongmeng Purple Qi also has its own meaning of destruction. It looks vibrant and can be refined into all things, but it can only bring people a seemingly immortal existence, because its most vibrant side was originally built on the foundation of the most despair.

Later, the Immortal Emperor renamed Hongmeng Purple Qi as Hongmeng Dao Qi and imprisoned it. When the Thirty-Three Heavens were in turmoil, the reversal method was handed over to the last Immortal Emperor, Di Xuan, which led to the Thirty-Three Heavens being infected by the dark demonic breath, forming a great cataclysm.

After the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were re-divided, Fang Yuan simultaneously made the positive and negative sides of Dao Qi exist in the world, so that Dao Qi and Demonic Breath were truly combined! But it also created the Heavenly Tribulation for cultivators. In this thunder tribulation, some people have a clear Dao heart, resist the thunder tribulation, and then discover that their stagnant cultivation realm has successfully broken through. They can’t help but laugh up to the sky, their Qi surging, attracting endless Dao Qi to bless themselves. And those who survive the thunder tribulation have a clear Dao heart, which also affects the Hongmeng Dao Qi, making the Hongmeng Dao Qi in the world more vibrant… Some people fall in the thunder tribulation, their bodies die and the Dao disappears, but in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Formation operates, bringing their wisp of spiritual light close and transferring it to the human world of Tianyuan, as if life has gone through a cycle and returned to the starting point! Some people fail in the thunder tribulation and turn into demonic creatures, directly falling into the Nineteenth Heaven to nourish the dark demonic breath.

Sinner Stele:

The last Immortal Emperor, Di Xuan, after the great cataclysm, mined stones from immortal mountains, sacrificed to the Di clan, and refined them into divine steles, recording everything he knew in the divine steles. However, after recording, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous, not knowing if it was a whim or a bit of self-mockery, he recorded some interesting things that seemed unrelated to this history on the surface of the stone stele.

Enjoy your listening!
