During this time, by discussing the Dao with Han Zhongli and the others, Ling Qing had also come to understand some information about this world.
In this world, both the Heavenly Court and the underworld existed.
The immortals of the heavenly realm had unknown cultivation realms, but the mortal world could still only bear the power of a three-calamity Earth Immortal.
Even if a Heavenly Immortal descended to the mortal world, their power would be limited to that level.
However, with the advantage of their realm, exactly how much strength they could display was another matter entirely.
Having only thirty million and being limited to spending only thirty million were fundamentally different in both method and tier.
These circumstances were broadly similar to the instance worlds Ling Qing had experienced before.
Yet this world still had certain differences. Any living being that committed evil and incurred karmic sins would be cast into the animal realm.
Therefore, demons could not become immortals. No matter how long they cultivated or how powerful their magic power became, they could never attain immortality.
Because they bore the burden of sin.
Only after accumulating sufficient merit could they be reborn as humans and cultivate into immortals.
Some people, meanwhile, were born with immortal bones and were destined to become immortals in the future.
That was because they had accumulated enough merit over countless lifetimes to attain immortality.
Take Zhang Guolao, for instance. He had originally been a rat from the dawn of creation. Because of his merit, Heaven granted him transformation into a bat; after the immortal bat reincarnated twice, it became his present body.
Because his blessings and fate in this life were profound, he was destined to become an immortal.
Then the Pangolin demon found a thousand-year-old fleeceflower root together with He Xiangu.
