Nature and Cosmic Order
- The Primordial World was created when Pangu separated heaven and earth; after his death, his body transformed into its myriad things and nurtured its living beings 1.
- The Three Pure Ones originated from Pangu’s primordial spirit and inherited three-tenths of his world-opening merit, while the Twelve Ancestral Witches inherited Pangu’s qi, blood, and physical body 1 4.
- Spiritual energy permeates the world and supports cultivation, although high-level techniques such as the Pangu Primordial Skill can consume its available blood essence and spiritual resources on a massive scale 1 59.
- Heavenly Dao Merit is a major resource within the world, awarded for acts that benefit it and usable in cultivation or the refinement of treasures 57 99.
- The Heavenly Dao is a dominant cosmic authority. Hongjun later merges with it and acts to preserve its supremacy over the Earthly Way 90.
- The Earthly Way awakens after Houtu establishes the Six Paths of Reincarnation, becoming a force capable of standing in opposition to the Heavenly Dao 89 90.
- Tongtian identifies a prospective third force, the Human Way, as the collective power of the world’s living beings; he believes it will revive alongside the Heavenly and Earthly Ways 101.
