Chapter 330: Demons, Phantasms, Bonebrutes, Fiends (1/2)
Years and years ago, the Realm of Split Void had undergone heaven-changing and earth-overturning upheavals, and the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in this realm had been tainted. Because of this, every Qi warrior who lived in the Realm of Split Void had a fairly deep understanding of the special spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth they were surrounded by.
One of the reasons Li Langfeng, who practiced the art of poison, had come to the Realm of Split Void was to stay away from trouble.
The other reason was that he knew that the special green energy in the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here could speed up his cultivation.
Perhaps this was why he had a better understanding of the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void than most people.
After hearing Li Langfeng’s explanation, Nie Tian’s understanding of the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void also rose to a whole new level.
According to Li Langfeng, the most common and basic energy in this world was spiritual Qi, which human Qi warriors could use to practice cultivation by channeling it into their spiritual seas in their dantian regions.
Spiritual Qi existed in every major realm and dimension that was inhabited by a variety of races.
However, the uniqueness of some realms and dimensions attributed to the change and mutation of their spiritual Qi.
Simply put, since the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, where the Spiritual Treasure Sect was located, was scorchingly hot year-round, and volcanoes erupted there from time to time, the spiritual Qi in that region turned out to be laced with copious amount of flame energy.
If Qi warriors who practiced fire-attributed incantations practiced cultivation in the Spiritual Treasure Sect, they would be able to channel the mixed spiritual Qi into their spiritual seas, where they could sort the spiritual Qi and distribute flame energy into their vortexes of flame power and the plain spiritual energy into their vortexes of spiritual power.
In this way, those Qi warriors’ cultivation speed could be greatly enhanced.
Similarly, in frigidly cold regions, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was usually laced with frost energy. These regions would be ideal locations for Qi warriors who practiced ice-attributed incantations to practice their cultivation.
In the same way, some regions had lightning bolts flash across the sky year-round, so the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in these regions would carry rich lightning energy. Qi warriors who practiced lightning-attributed incantations would be able to improve their strength in these regions rapidly.
The same went for the heavens and earths where outsiders lived. Due to the special structures and features of their realms, the spiritual Qi gradually mutated and turned into demon Qi.
Demons were able to refine energy from demon Qi, infuse it into their blood, and use it to strengthen their physical strength, as well as their bloodline power.
The so-called tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void had actually formed when different types of mutated Qi started to leak into this realm through some of the spatial rifts.
Those types of Qi suited outsiders’ cultivation perfectly, but when they merged with the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void, variation occurred.
Such variation made the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void unsuitable for human Qi warriors’ cultivation. If they forcibly allowed the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth inside of them, they would have their flesh and blood corroded.
After hearing Li Langfeng’s lecture about the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void, Nie Tian finally understood what had happened here.
“As far as I know, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the Realm of Split Void contains at least four types of Qi: demon Qi, phantasm Qi, death Qi, and toxic Qi.
“Other than these, other types of mysterious energy that have been spread to this realm via spatial rifts can also be found in the tainted spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, I don’t know much about them.”
Li Langfeng took his time as he explained things to Nie Tian.
“Demons cultivate with demon Qi; Phantasms cultivate with phantasm Qi; Bonebrutes cultivate with death Qi; Fiends cultivate with toxic Qi.
“We refer to Demons, Phantasms, Bonebrutes, and Fiends as outsiders.
“All of these four outsider races used to live in the Domain of the Falling Stars. As a matter of fact, without exception, the realms of the Domain of the Falling Stars used to be these outsiders’ homes.
“For example, the Realm of Flame Heaven used to be a paradise for Demons, and was controlled by a powerful Demon clan.
“The Realm of Dark Underworld, where I come from, used to belong to Phantasms. Fiends used to live in the Realm of Black Marsh. And the Realm of Unbounded Desolation used to be home to Bonebrutes.
