Celestial Court connection

Due to vague wording, I took the liberty of connecting some ambiguous phrases used in the main cultivator source, Tian Xia Character Guide (114-115, AoN), to the Celestial Court, detailed in Tian Xia World Guide (23). This is a list of connections that I made between these sections in roughly descending order of clarity for others to review in regards to wiki policy, if they are too ambiguous to include or fallacious.

  • The TXWG Celestial Court section lists cultivation as a path to immortality.
  • TXWG mentions "the dragons and some deities tend to snuff out any immortal ascension before it happens".
    • TXCG describes cultivation as going "against Heaven's will" and mentions rumors that gods and dragons directly test and punish cultivators.
  • The TXCG Cultivator section mentions ascending to "minor officials of the Tian pantheon". The Celestial Court sometimes appears to be used interchangably with the Tian pantheon, and is the only form of "Tian pantheon" I know where it would make sense to have "officials".
    • TXWG does not list cultivation as a category of immortals given tasks along enlightenment, alchemy, or strength, but seems to imply participation in the court is common for all Tian immortals.
  • TXCG's The Bitter Scholar's Promotion feat mentions "Heaven's dragons".
    • TXWG describes dragons as enforcing the will of the Celestial Court.
