Cross-Region Rank Suppression

Cultivation mechanic in Reverend Insanity

Mechanic Ranks

A Gu Master who has just crossed into another of the five regions does not fight at full rank.

The five regions of the Gu world are independent. When Gu Masters cross regions, battle strength is suppressed by one rank. Fang Yuan is a southern border Gu Master in northern plains, so he is suppressed when battling. Ge Yao reads his aura as rank three peak stage. His aperture still holds rank four peak stage true gold primeval essence, but its effectiveness is only rank three peak stage snow silver primeval essence. Golden dragon Gu at rank four from southern border can only display the strength of a rank three Gu. One blow would have killed the poison beard wolf king in southern border; in northern plains he has to use it twice, and the corpse stays intact. ch. 426

Regional recognition

The heaven and earth of the five regions are different. Whether Gu worms or Gu Masters, once they go into other regions they are suppressed. Gu Masters have intelligence and adaptability. After a few years they can completely adapt to the environment and obtain the recognition of the region, no longer facing suppression. For the Gu worms not to be suppressed, Fang Yuan refines rank five breath concealment Gu in northern plains. No matter where the materials were from, the moment refinement completes, the new Gu is born in northern plains and obtains that region’s recognition. ch. 477

The five regions after Heavenly Court

The regional walls separating the five regions completely disappear and the earth veins connect, merging the five separate regions into one; people can move through them with no obstruction, and the differences in heaven and earth qi between the regions begin to disappear. ch. 1966 With the walls gone, the five regions’ heaven and earth qi has no obstruction and starts to fuse; Western Desert’s own qi changes gradually as a result, so Western Desert Gu Immortals’ immortal apertures grow unstable when they absorb heaven and earth qi, and the best answer is to keep absorbing and releasing it along with the change. ch. 1973
