The Devil Realm and the Spirit Realm were both currently suffering from a severe lack of resources.
The Devil Realm's Northern Region, however, had even fewer resources because of its unique geographical environment. It was nearly impossible to find any usable heavenly treasures.
Even when lineages and sects wanted to cultivate spirit medicines, they could not find suitable soil or an appropriate environment.

In the Devil Realm's Eastern Region, demonic cultivation methods were forbidden, but in the Northern Region, they were the true orthodox ways of the most prestigious sects.
This was what it meant for the land to shape its people.
Although most demonic cultivation methods harmed others for one's own benefit—and some even harmed the cultivator himself—if Northern Region martial artists did not practice them, they would not even have the right to survive.
