Every Mountain Core and Earth Meridian Core represented the essence of a great mountain or an earthly meridian.
Whether it was a great mountain or an earthly meridian, once someone refined away its Mountain Core or Earth Meridian Core, what awaited that mountain or meridian was a silent collapse.
A great mountain would naturally crumble, while the destruction of an earthly meridian would trigger all manner of natural disasters—earthquakes and ground collapses being the most common.

Though the proportion was very small, if too much was lost, that world would suffer grievous damage to its vitality.
Thus, nearly all world rulers or controllers forbade anyone from refining and taking away Mountain Cores and Earth Meridian Cores.
The Mountain Cores and Earth Meridian Cores circulating on the market were basically all stolen or obtained through destructive refinement.
That was also why Mountain Cores and Earth Meridian Cores were so rarely seen.
