User blog comment:MemoryAngel/Are the Djinn Blade and Digiverse actually realms?/@comment-27507964-20160130152202

They may be realms but they are not part of the 16 realms. They are basically realms inside realms, that can only be accessed through magic or advanced tech. There was obviously a time in Ninjago history where the digiverse didn't exist. The digiverse is basically the manifestation of the Internet. The "realm" in the sword of souls is entirely inside the sword. One djinn probably made it way in the past. Imagine the sword of souls and the digiverse as pockets off of one particular realm, pockets with special doors.
