⚡ Features

Cultivation & Progression

• 26 realms across 14 major tiers, Mortal → Dao Ancestor — each raising HP,
  qi pool, regen, spiritual sense, and combat power, and unlocking abilities like
  flight and teleportation.
• Five-element spiritual roots (Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth) with wuxing
  synergy & conflict, five constitutions, and per-element passives. Revealed by a
  Spirit Reveal Stone with 3 free re-rolls.
• Mortality clock (寿元): every realm grants finite years — break through or
  wither and die. Longevity Pills buy time; True Immortals are unbound.
• Closed-door seclusion (闭关): trade lifespan and spirit stones for a burst
  of cultivation.
• Karma (气运): good deeds invite fortuitous opportunities; sin draws calamity.
  Watch for pill toxicity (丹毒) and qi deviation (走火入魔).

Combat & Abilities

• Heavenly Tribulation: realm-scaled, multi-phase lightning trials with
  signature colours, heart-demon illusions, and a server-wide spectacle. Survive
  or lose the breakthrough.
• Sword arts: a flying-sword array, sword flight, parries, charged heavy
  attacks, the Sword Domain, and a dedicated Sword Qi (剑气) resource.
• Qi Pressure (威压), Void Traversal blink-chains, and Nascent Soul
  projection with a second life.

Knowledge Systems

• Techniques: realm- and root-gated arts with 9 mastery layers and active
  skills bound to a radial wheel.
• Dao Comprehension: earn permanent passives by cultivating in different
  environments.
• Grand Laws (法则): eight laws comprehended through five depths, with a
  declared Primary Dao and projectable Law Domains.

World & Society

• Alchemy: the Spirit Furnace, a discovery-gated recipe guide, quality rolls,
  and biome-grown, replantable spirit herbs.
• Formations & barriers: realm-scaled qi-gathering and warding domes plus
  personal barriers.
• Sects: found or join one, claim territory with dynamic borders, raise
  elemental peak halls, run a shop and library, and wage sect wars with
  treasury plunder, drained veins, and vassalage.
• Ascension dimensions: the Spirit World (灵界) and Heavenly Realm (仙界),
  unlocked by surviving the right tribulations.
• Mob realm-scaling with monster-core drops and rogue cultivator factions.

🔧 Configuration

A config/journey-to-immortality.json is created on first launch — tune
cultivation speed, mob scaling, the lifespan clock, death XP penalty, sect wars,
and tribulation damage.

🧩 Optional

Terrain Diffusion is suggested,
not required — when present it generates the ascension dimensions' terrain with
a diffusion model. Without it, the dimensions still load with built-in
generation. The mod runs fine on Fabric API alone.

📦 Requirements
