Chapter 1268 : A Setting Changed

After being reminded by several readers, I went through the earlier settings today and realized the number of Earth Immortals was set far too low.

According to the original setting, while there were over a million immortals in the Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, there were only a 1000-some Earth Immortal Patriarchs. The probability of breaking through was less than 1 in a 1000—truly far too low.

As mentioned earlier in the Mortal Realm arc, the probability of an immortal breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm is 1 in a 100—it shouldn’t be this low.

Then, within the framework of breaking through to the Earth Immortal realm, aside from comprehending the Foundation of World Creation, 1 must also gather the 4 Extremities Pillars.

But upon further consideration, I realized these resources shouldn't be completely extinct.

A Supreme Grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) is indeed rare. Yet, when viewed from the perspective of the entire Western Qi Divine Abyss Sea, even if each of the 3,000 seas produced just 1, there would be at least 3,000 in total—not to mention that Earth Immortal blessed lands can also cultivate them.

A top-grade Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) was relatively easy for a Half-Step Earth Immortal to obtain. Virtually every sea region harbored some, and many Earth Immortal blessed lands—even immortal factions—could cultivate their own.

What is truly difficult to find is actually an eighth-rank Heavenly Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root). Such treasures can only be cultivated in top-tier blessed lands with lineages spanning over 10 million, or even tens of millions of years.

Thus, the number of Earth Immortals in the Xī Qì Shén Yuān Hǎi should far exceed a mere 1,000, but rather amount to at least over 10,000 to 20,000.

However, most Earth Immortals had opened their heavens using the inferior method, which limited their potential and foundational strength. Thus, they remained stagnant at the early Earth Immortal stage.

A small portion of dual-Dao Fruit and triple-Dao Fruit cultivators could open Heaven using mid-grade or even superior-grade methods, numbering approximately 1 to 2 1000 or more, with the potential to break through to the late stage of Earth Immortal.

Only about 1 in a 100 immortals would achieve a breakthrough, which better aligned with the established framework for Earth Immortals. It remained consistent with the original dual Dao Fruit configuration—where the majority could generally advance to Earth Immortal, with a slim possibility of ascending to Celestial Immortal.

For instance, among the 2 100-some immortals in the Setting Sun Sea, there was already 1 Earth Immortals, and it was even possible for a second to emerge.

Therefore, I have revised the settings for this section, and I have already adjusted the relevant data in the preceding text.

Feel free to check the translation when you have time. If you spot any unrevised sections, please leave a comment to notify me—I’ll make the necessary revisions.
