“ The endless dao of the world could only be below her feet. The heavens above could be nothing but silent. She carries the dazzling Heaven's Will. Under her illuminating radiance, everything else becomes dim and listless. „
Li Qiye about Hong Tian[11]

History

Overview

Hong Tian (鸿天: Heaven's Swan)[note 1] was an invincible Immortal Emperor, and one of the very few female Emperors at that.[1]

Origin

Hong Tian was born during the Emperors Era[2] in a big and prosperous city in the Hundred Cities region of the Mortal Emperor World. As a little girl she met Dark Crow who took her as his disciple.[3]

Path to the Immortal Emperor

As she swept through the heaven and earth to reach the apex, Dark Crow always accompanied her in the shadow.[4] Together they travelled to far and far away places.[3] They were always together and shared many experiences.[5]

According to Li Qiye, Hong Tian was not the most talented in her generation, and she was weaker than many other geniuses, but she had the strongest Dao Heart. Thanks to it she eventually suppressed everyone and became one of the greatest Immortal Emperors in history.[4][6]

Prime Ominous Grave

At some point Dark Crow brought her to the Prime Ominous Grave's Divine Dragon Mountain and helped her to choose a Destiny Stone.[2]

Thousand Emperors Gate

One of her opponents for the Heaven's Will was a member of the Thousand Emperors Gate, one sect with four Emperors in a row, who wanted to become their fifth Immortal Emperor in row. Unfortunately, Hong Tian not only killed him, but she also destroyed Thousand Emperors Gate entirely.[1][5]

Alchemy Kingdom

Another opponent was Hundred-Life Alchemy Emperor from the Stone Medicine World's Alchemy Kingdom, but he was also defeated by her.[7]

Divine Beast Realm

Her third opponent was Mo Peng, a disciple of the Divine Beast Realm. He was eventually defeated by Hong Tian. Unconvinced by his defeat, the Divine Beast Realm encouraged all the sects in the Stone Medicine World to ambush Hong Tian who had yet to ascend to Immortal Emperor. All the most powerful lineages in this world were involved in this terrible ambush, including the Alchemy Kingdom, the Jianlong Clan, and the Beastmaster Citadel as well as other imperial sects.[8]

This ambush enraged Dark Crow, who sent his army to the Stone Medicine World. The army swept through the Stone Medicine World and besieged the Divine Beast Realm. Hong Tian took the vanguard to attack the Divine Beast Realm. Eventually she forcefully dragged the Divine Beast Realm from the sky and completely destroyed it.[8]

The surviving sects made a Blood Oath to the Dark Crow and promised to never show up in the world again.[8]

Mysterious Bamboo Mountain

A fourth opponent was South Emperor, the most brilliant genious from the Mysterious Bamboo Mountain. However, unlike the rest of the opponents, he chose to withdraw himself from the competition for the Heavens Will and sealed himself waiting for a more opportune generation.[9]

Imperial Lineages Suppression

After Hong Tian formally ascended to Immortal Emperor she laid her suppression on all lineages that participated in the ambush, including the Alchemy Kingdom, the Jianlong Clan, and the Beastmaster Citadel as well as other imperial sects.[8]

Parting with Dark Crow

At some point, because of conflicting ideologies — because they aimed for different paths, Hong Tian and Dark Crow separated and even became enemies and fought against each other.[5][4]

Stone At The Peak

After she became an Immortal Emperor and separated from Dark Crow, Hong Tian visited the Prime Ominous Grave's Divine Dragon Mountain again. She gazed at the Stone At The Peak for a long time, but eventually went away, believing that only Dark Crow is worthy of such a peerless Destiny Stone.[2]

Drystone Courtyard

Hong Tian was one of the many Immortal Emperors who reached the center of the Drystone Courtyard. All of them were tempted by the thing there; they all wished to obtain it. However, even Emperors were not able to do so. The ultimate force of petrification forced the Emperors to retreat with great haste. However, their shadows were frozen to forever be buried in this place.[10]

Legacy

Later on, people placed her on the same level as Immortal Emperor Jiao Heng.[3]

Hong Tian gave a fragment of the Emperor Suppression Art she created to the Allpine Treefather when he was just a pine tree with only a sliver of awareness. It was studying this law that allowed the Allpine Treefather to become a demon with sentience.[11]

Current Era

In the Current Era, after Li Qiye regained his original body, he traveled to the Hundred Cities and visited the place where he met Hong Tian for the first time. Unfortunately the once great city had turned into a wilderness with towering trees.[5]

Alchemy Kingdom

Li Qiye met the intent Hong Tian left in the Stone Medicine World's Alchemy Kingdom. Her intent alone was enough to suppress the avatars left behind by the three emperors from the Alchemy Kingdom.[12]

Tenth World

Eventually Hong Tian ascended Tenth World. During Li Qiye's battle with one of the giants of the Darkness, someone intervenes in the critical moment using the Emperor Suppression Art to help prevent his enemy from escaping. Li Qiye sighs since she doesn't show herself but is happy to have news that she still exists.[13][14]

Six Heavenly Continents

Empress Hong Tian managed to live through Great Calamity, and later on she survived many catastrophic battles,[15] and founded the Imperial Field in Ancient Immortal Continent.[16]

She participated in the Battle of the Grand Dao, and along with her rival, Mu Yueli and many other empresses, she fought against the Stranger in the Celestial Court using the strength of boundary and the Primordial Tree.

In the final moments of Grand Dao War, Empress Hong Tian, the Lunargrasp Immortal Monarch, and others controlled the power of the entire Heaven Defending Boundary, beheaded the unknown guest of heaven, and finally imprisoned him in the deepest part of the Heaven Guardian Realm.

However, the badly injured Hong Tian and others lost contact in eternal time. They fell into a deep sleep state in eternal time. Only when they really recover can they wake up from such an eternity.[17][18]

After she went into the deep sleep state, she left behind her palace, which many later generations tried to climb but failed except for one person, Reverend Cloud and Mud. [19] She also left behind her divine intent for this palace. After Li Qiye was reborn, he entered her deserted palace, discussed with her divine intent, and also gave her intent to the iron box that was left behind by Jian Wenxin. [20]

Cultivation

Hong Tian reached True Self level in her cultivation. Later on, she broke through the limit of true self and reached primordial true self and arrived Ancestor level.[22]
