Location from Defiance of the Fall by TheFirstDefier
An elite training realm of extraordinary danger where powerful cultivators seek advancement. Opportunities scale with risk — many enter, few return, and those who do are transformed.
The Perennial Vastness is where cultivators go when normal advancement stalls. It strips away comfort and safety, forcing growth through existential pressure. The realm seems almost alive, adjusting its challenges to push entrants to their absolute limits. Time flows differently inside — months within might be days without. The treasures and insights gained here can catapult a cultivator forward by decades, but the price is paid in blood, sanity, and sometimes identity.
An endless expanse that shifts between biomes without logic — frozen wastelands bleed into volcanic hellscapes, serene forests border reality-warped void zones. The sky cycles through impossible colors. Dao itself feels thicker here, almost tangible. Ancient ruins dot the landscape, remnants of civilizations that failed the Vastness's trials.
