World Information

WORLD BUILDING 

The Qiuyuan World in the Modern Era, the seventh great era, is a vast and diverse realm of cultivation, spiritual qi, and hidden mysteries. Unlike the 6th Era, when the world was divided into seven massive supercontinents, the Modern Era has reshaped the land into numerous continents, each with its own character, history, and culture. Broadly, the world is split into two major regions: the Central Regions, where spiritual energy is dense and cultivation thrives, and the Backwater Regions, sprawling and untamed, where qi is sparse and life is harsh.

The Central Regions are the heart of civilization and cultivation, home to the most powerful sects and forces in the world. Here, spiritual energy flows thickly through the land, allowing even ordinary cultivators to break through realms far faster than their counterparts in the backwater lands. Continents such as Tianyuan Continent, Qingyun Continent, Zhongyuan Continent, Yanyuan Continent are the prevelant continets each housing Supreme Grade forces.

Beyond the Central Regions stretches the Backwater Regions, which constitute roughly seventy percent of the world. These lands are rugged, sparsely populated, and marked by deserts, frozen plains, dense jungles, and remote islands. Spiritual energy is weaker here, and cultivation progresses slowly, leaving even talented individuals unnoticed by the great sects of the Central Regions. Continents such as Xihuang , Beiyu, Donglu and Nanxi Continent are ruled by weak sects and life here is harsh . In these backwater lands, small sects and local forces dominate, often acting as offshoots or vassals to the greater powers of the Central Regions.

Classification of forces

In the vast Qiuyuan World, the power and status of a force are determined primarily by the cultivators it possesses. While various regions have their own ranking systems, the most widely recognized hierarchy is used by the world's truly formidable forces. This system defines a force's influence, territory, and ability to shape the world.

 Third-Tier Forces

Considered the lowest tier among powerful forces in continents of Central Region like Tianyuan or Qingyun. In remote continents of backwater region such as Xihuang or Beiyu, these forces are often the dominant power—acting as local hegemons and protectors . To be classified as a 3rd-tier force, the force must possess at least one Dao Seed expert. They have local dominance, respected in backwater regions; limited reach beyond their continent.

Second-Tier Forces

The most common forces across Central Regions. These forces often dominate entire continents of the backwater regions , able to influence neighboring forces through diplomacy or conquest. They must have at least one Unity Realm expert. 

 First-Tier Forces

Truly formidable organizations commanding widespread recognition and fear. Must house at least one Sage-level powerhouse. Absolute authority and respect, even among other high-tier forces. Can dictate the fates of entire nations even in the central region. Often centers of advanced cultivation techniques, rare resources, and secret legacies.

 Supreme Forces

The pinnacle of cultivation organizations—supreme forces wield influence over continents even in the Central Region and even shape the destiny of the Qiuyuan World itself. Must possess at least one Emperor-level powerhouse. Supreme forces are so dominant that their authority can redefine borders, enforce peace or war, and control the flow of rare resources in a world wide scale.

Spirit Roots Classification

1) Low Grade

The weakest known Spirit Root, but not without value. Cultivators with Low Grade roots can progress through the early stages of cultivation, though advancement beyond the Foundation Establishment realm is often slow and difficult. On backwater continents like Xihuang, even a Low Grade root is respected. Villagers see these cultivators as potential protectors of the community, capable of survival in a dangerous world.

2) Mid Grade

 Average yet solid. Cultivators with Mid Grade roots absorb qi efficiently, break through realms steadily, and are capable of solid achievements. In low tier sects of Tianyuan Continent a Mid Grade root is considered acceptable talent—enough to earn formal tutelage and recognition. In Xihuang, however, a Mid Grade cultivator often becomes the jewel of the village, guaranteed to receive the best guidance and opportunities.

3) High Grade

Truly talented cultivators possess High Grade roots. These roots allow rapid qi absorption and breakthroughs in multiple realms. A High Grade root cultivator is considered a genius, often sought after by sects and noble families as potential disciples or heirs. Such individuals are guaranteed elite nurturing almost anywhere.

4) Top Grade

The mark of true genius. Cultivators with Top Grade roots have extraordinary potential and can shape their own destiny.

The Top Grade itself contains four sub-tiers:

3rd Tier: Exceptional talents that stand out among geniuses. Guarantees being a inner court disciple even in the Supreme Grade Forces. However in low tier forces they enjoy all the resources and are set to be the future leaders of their forces. 

2nd Tier: These talents are rare on a continental scale. Their growth potential is extraordinary, capable of world-class cultivation even among seasoned geniuses. Often personally selected by elders of top-tier sects. Cultivators of this tier are usually fast-tracked for elite training and special missions.

1st Tier: Exceptional beyond ordinary comprehension. Individuals with this tier are often regarded as potential legends in their lifetime. Cultivated as heirs in Supreme Grade Forces, or specially mentored by Dao Sages. Even at young age, their progress is closely monitored by influential elders.

Heavenly Tier: Nearly mythical; cultivators with this tier often surpass the understanding of even top sects, making them potential masters of the continent. Even in Supreme Grade forces talents like this only appear once in hundred thousand years .

While the spirit roots are important they become useless after Soul Transformation as after that to progress you need comprehension not meditating and gathering qi . Only top tier spirit roots can have some effect in cultivation after Soul Transformation. Also the spirit roots don't determine the upper ceiling of your potential as even a low grade spirit root individual can become a emperor . It's just that the cultivation speed of the low tier spirit roots are so slow that an individual reaches the end of their lifespan before reaching a high enough level. 

CLASSIFICATION OF TREASURES

1st to 9th grade each with low to peak tiers and Emperor grade with no subdivision. Every thing from pills , artifacts to spirit beasts are classified using this system.
