Background

Primal Energy is a cultivation power tracked separately from Spiritual Power. Lin Mu began at the Body Tempering Second Layer, where his system could directly raise his Primal Energy cultivation by consuming Yang Yuan Pills. 1 2

At the Body Tempering Sixth Layer, cultivators form a seed of Primal Energy. Entering the Earth Yuan Realm moves that seed into the dantian and requires a cultivation art for continued advancement. 4 7

Lin Mu cultivated the first-rate Lightning Primal Energy Art, which opened all eighty-one hidden meridians and produced lightning-aspected Primal Energy stronger and more violent than ordinary Primal Energy. 8

Primal Energy is the basis for the martial arts used by Lin Mu, Lin Dong, and other cultivators.

  • Through-the-Back Fist — Lin Mu’s first learned martial skill; its perfected form could produce ten sounds. 2 4
  • Collapsing Thunder Fist — Generates lightning attacks when supplied with lightning Primal Energy. Lin Dong used it to defeat Wu Sha while relying solely on Primal Energy. 8 24

  • During the battle against the Other Demon, Primal Energy and Spiritual Power were poured into the Universe Ancient Formation to generate an especially dangerous fused force. 196

Life, Death, and Samsara Energy

Higher Primal Energy realms incorporate distinct energies that fundamentally alter its nature.

  • The union of life energy and death energy signifies entry into the Samsara Stage. 260

Story Role / Major Arcs

  • Lin Mu’s system first demonstrated direct Primal Energy advancement by raising him from the Body Tempering Second Layer to the Third Layer with Yang Yuan Pills. 2

  • Lightning Primal Energy became the foundation of Lin Mu’s principal combat style after he acquired the Lightning Primal Energy Art and Collapsing Thunder Fist. 8
