From Waste Meridian to Realm Lord

In the Xuanqiong Realm, martial arts and alchemy are the foundations, divided into four domains: Qinglan, Fentian, Hanyuan, and Chaos. Sects and noble families thrive, with ancient ruins and forbidden lands scattered across the continent. The core is the Qiongcang Tower, said to be left by the ancient Danwu Supreme; those who reach the top can control the realm's rules and become the true master of the continent. Special setting: The realm's spiritual energy is split into martial spiritual energy (for tempering the body and martial origin) and alchemical spiritual energy (for nourishing the soul and catalyzing pills). These two energies are mutually exclusive yet symbiotic; ordinary cultivators can only cultivate one, as attempting both leads to energy disorder and death, making dual cultivation taboo. Hidden setting: Xuanqiong was once a 'Danwu symbiotic realm' where dual cultivation was common. After the 'Danwu Cataclysm,' the realm's rules were altered, making the two energies mutually exclusive, and the truth was concealed by top powers.
