Background / History

The Spirit Race’s true origin lies in the Ancient Spirit Race. According to preserved legends, humans who lived beside the Spirit Root Divine Willow were nourished by it and developed spirit-root bloodlines. They became the foremost supreme race of the Vast Cosmos Great World, with the Divine Willow serving as its source of life. 3925 4206

During the previous Burial Emperor War, the Ancient Ten Absolutes of the Primordial Cosmos destroyed the Spirit Root Divine Willow while the Spirit Race was weakened. The race subsequently lost its former nourishment and was reduced to serving the invaders, who elevated it into a powerful public position while using it to guard the seals and Heroic Spirit Halls. 3926 3791

In the present era, the Spirit Race projects power through Divine Spirit Island and commands numerous affiliated factions. It forcibly relocated demon beasts from the Feather Sword Mountain Range, distributed the Green Jade Spirit Scroll, and treated the arrival of people from the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm as an opportunity for trials and experimentation. 3312 3346 3449

Its status began to unravel after repeated conflicts with the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, Sikong Jing, and other factions. Zhe Ying eventually publicly revealed that the Spirit Race served the Ancient Ten Absolutes, exposing the foundation of its power to the Hundred Clans and Thousand Halls. 3578 3900

Sikong Jing later revealed the Ancient Spirit Race’s history and techniques to Zhe Ying and Spirit Gull, creating a resistance movement centered on the Spirit Root Divine Willow. The Absolute Pill Emperor subsequently considered the entire race expendable and ordered its members gathered for destruction in an attempt to flush out the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. 4204 4206 4344

Society and Hierarchy

Rank / Institution	Role
Clan Chief	The highest authority in the race; Ling Dao holds this position. 3607
Clan Elders	Senior figures directly beneath the clan chief. 3607
Lesser Emperor Sovereigns	Powerful upper-echelon members beneath the elders. 3607
Quasi-Emperors and Divine Lords	Commanders, expedition leaders, and faction-level authorities. 3607 3614
Lineages and factions	Internal power groups, including the Spirit Gull, Spirit Parrot, Spirit Magpie, and Ling Zhe branches. 3441 3490 4341
Heroic Spirit Halls	Vital institutions where bloodline-qualified members may communicate with Heroic Spirits and receive inheritances or opportunities. 3607 3610
Dead Spirit Cavern	A brutal punishment site that can also temper an Extreme Prison cultivator; survival is exceptionally rare. 3523

The Spirit Race values exceptional strength and treats failure harshly. Its Dark Demon trials tested captives, young geniuses, and affiliated forces, while internal factions competed for rewards and prestige. 3358 3444

Abilities and Practices

Spirit Race Bloodline

Only those with Spirit Race bloodlines can awaken and communicate with Heroic Spirits. This bloodline connection allows access to the Heroic Spirit Hall system established around the Burial Emperor Spirit Seal Realm. 3610

• Spirit Race essence blood can alter another person’s aura enough to imitate a Spirit Race member. 3596
• The bloodline is connected to the Spirit Root Divine Willow, though most modern members were unaware of this origin. 3925 4206
• Liu Duoye’s rebirth produced a notably purer Spirit Race aura than that of the modern race. 3931

Spirit Shadows and Spirit Platforms

Spirit Race combatants commonly employ spirit-shadow power and spirit-platform techniques.

• Spirit Race prodigies used spirit-shadow power in battle and for detection. 3312 3440
• High-level members can attack or enter another person’s spirit platform sea of consciousness. 3727 4204
• Spirit shadows may be separated from the body and remain vulnerable to destruction. 3441

Heroic Spirit Inheritances

The Heroic Spirit Halls provide cultivation opportunities, inheritances, and access to the martial knowledge of deceased ancestors. 3607 3611

• Ling Dao offered access to the Heroic Spirit Hall and its ancestral martial formation as a bounty for Yu Xianpo’s death. 3611
• The system is ultimately tied to the Ten Absolutes’ control over the Spirit Race rather than an independent blessing. 3791 3900

Ancient Spirit Race Techniques

The lost inheritance of Longfir Emperor is substantially stronger than the modern Spirit Race’s known arts. 4206 4345

• It can exert troop-control pressure over Spirit Race members through their ancient bloodline connection. 4204 4206
• Sikong Jing passed the complete Longfir Emperor inheritance to Zhe Ying. 4206
• Spirit Gull received enough of the inheritance to demonstrate its overwhelming power to other Spirit Race Emperors. 4345

Dark Demon Small World Operations

The Spirit Race conducted large-scale trials and military operations inside the Dark Demon Small World.

• Its Extreme Prison-stage geniuses adapted rapidly to the world’s demonic energy and used it to cultivate Extreme Prison methods. 3413 3440
• It imprisoned Green Rhino Clan humans with beast bloodlines and planned to use them as expendable scouts for abyss exploration. 3449
• Que Yi later led nearly all available Extreme Prison-stage geniuses and troops into the realm to seal off and capture the Shadow Moon Demon Rat. 3791

Major Arcs

Feather Sword Mountain Range Relocation

The Spirit Race appears through Divine Spirit Island and orders all demon beasts at the Divine Martial Stage and above to abandon the Feather Sword Mountain Range within three days. The order offers no destination or negotiation, demonstrating the race’s authority over weaker forces. 3312

Dark Demon Trial

Ling Zhe’s faction sends prodigies, explorers, and captives into the Dark Demon Small World. The Spirit Race hunts the Shadow Moon Demon Rat, conducts experiments on beast-bloodline humans, and uses the realm’s demonic energy to accelerate Extreme Prison cultivation. 3389 3413 3449

War with the Ten Thousand Demon Hall

Following the Shadow Moon Demon Rat’s escape and the Broken Blade Hall conflict, Ling Zhe seeks full mobilization against the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. The Spirit Race is later forced into negotiations when Ling Zhe, Ling Gui, and Ling Long are held at a disadvantage. 3499 3578

Exposure of the Ten Absolutes

Zhe Ying publicly reveals that the Spirit Race serves the Ancient Ten Absolutes, transforming the race’s public image from a supreme clan into an instrument of foreign invaders. 3900

Ancient Spirit Race Revival

Sikong Jing exposes the truth of the Spirit Root Divine Willow, rescues Zhe Ying, and grants him Longfir Emperor’s inheritance and the Nine Heavens Sword Dao. A growing number of Spirit Race members begin to question their loyalty to the Ten Absolutes. 4204 4206 4209

Attempted Extermination and Counterattack

The Absolute Pill Emperor orders the Spirit Race gathered for annihilation to search for the Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts. Spirit Gull, Zhe Ying, Sikong Jing, and sympathetic Spirit Race Emperors rally members around the Ancient Spirit Race legacy and resist both the Ten Absolutes and Ling Dao’s collapsing authority. 4344 4345 4351
