🌟 Key Features
Cultivation & Growth
- 26 realms distributed across 14 major tiers, from Mortal to Dao Ancestor—each tier enhances your HP, qi pool, regeneration, spiritual intuition, and combat prowess, while also unlocking new abilities like flight and teleportation.
- Five-element spiritual roots (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth) with a system of wuxing interactions and conflicts, along with distinct constitutions and element-specific advantages. Unlock your roots using a Spirit Reveal Stone, which provides 3 free re-rolls.
- Mortality clock (寿元): Each realm offers a limited lifespan—progress or face mortality. Longevity Pills can extend your life; True Immortals are free from such constraints.
- Closed-door retreat (闭关): Exchange lifespan and spirit stones for a significant surge in cultivation.
- Karma (气运): Good actions attract favorable outcomes, while negative deeds bring disaster. Be cautious of pill toxicity (丹毒) and qi divergence (走火入魔).
- Heavenly Tribulation: These realm-adjusted, multi-stage lightning challenges feature unique colors, heart-demon manifestations, and are a spectacle for the entire server. Survive to achieve breakthroughs or risk failure.
- Sword techniques: Utilize an array of sword skills including flying-sword techniques, parries, charged powerful strikes, the Sword Domain, and a dedicated Sword Qi (剑气) resource.
- Qi Pressure (威压), Void Traversal blink-chains, and the Nascent Soul projection allow for a second chance at life.
- Techniques: Art forms gated by realm and root with 9 mastery levels and active skills linked to a radial wheel.

- Grand Laws (法则): Eight laws that can be comprehended through five levels of depth, leading to a Primary Dao designation and projectable Law Domains.
- Alchemy: Utilize the Spirit Furnace, a discovery-based recipe guide, engaging quality rolls, and replantable spirit herbs grown in various biomes.
- Formations & barriers: Realm-specific qi-gathering domes and protective barriers tailored for personal use.
- Sects: Create or join a sect, claim territory with dynamic borders, establish elemental peak halls, manage a shop and library, and engage in sect wars that involve resource plunders, drained veins, and preferential alliances.
- Ascension dimensions: Explore the Spirit World (灵界) and Heavenly Realm (仙界), accessible by overcoming specific tribulations.

🛠️ Configuration Options
Upon initial launch, a config/journey-to-immortality.json file is generated—this allows customization of cultivation speed, mob scaling, lifespan mechanics, death experience penalties, sect conflicts, and tribulation effects.
🧩 Optional Enhancements
Terrain Diffusion is a recommended, albeit not essential, mod—when installed, it generates landscapes for the ascension dimensions using a diffusion model. If absent, the dimensions will still utilize built-in generation. The mod is operational with just the Fabric API.
