Origin Energy

Biodata

Characteristics

Cultivation medium

• Origin Energy is absorbed from the environment and circulated through a cultivator’s body to raise cultivation. Jia Lie Jun broke into the Heavenly Origin Realm by drawing in surrounding energy at the limit of his technique. 12
• Its quantity and density vary greatly by practitioner and realm. Jia Lie Jun’s Origin Energy was already comparable to that of a mid-Heavenly Origin Realm cultivator while he was below that stage. 11
• Origin Energy can be condensed into an Origin Core within the dantian. Jia Lie Jun formed a Nine-Star Origin Core after refining the Green Lotus Core Flame; the core became the center around which his two Heavenly Flames revolved. 48
• At the Profound Life Realm, newly born life energy may fuse with Origin Energy, making it ceaseless and self-renewing. 417
• Nirvana Golden Qi can temper the body while making a cultivator’s Origin Energy more abundant. 299

Relation to other energies

• Origin Energy is distinct from Dou Qi. The Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python could not absorb Origin Energy while the energy stored in her body remained Dou Qi. 48
• Cultivators may develop both Origin Energy and Spiritual Power, though this combination is rare on the Tian Xuan Continent. 51 99
• Jia Lie Jun successfully fused Origin Energy with Spiritual Power into the Power of Origin Essence, a milky-white energy with enough force to pulverize a wooden table through a light palm strike. 100
• The fusion requires precise balance. Jia Lie Jun failed more than a thousand attempts before producing Origin Essence; he had not yet succeeded in adding Dou Qi as a third component. 100
• The Devouring Ancestral Talisman can refine devoured Origin Energy and release it as highly pure liquid Origin Energy for absorption into a Primordial Spirit. 407

Applications

Offensive and defensive constructs

• Origin Energy can form protective layers and armor, including a covering over Jia Lie Jun’s arms and Cao Zhen’s several-zhang-thick armor. 11 132
• It may be shaped into weapons and attacks, such as blades, palms, chains, fists, giant fingers, and mountain-sized platforms. 64 94 120 142
• Skilled practitioners can create sustained, large-scale constructs. Lin Langtian rode an enormous scarlet eagle condensed entirely from Origin Energy. 54
• Jia Lie Jun created temporary artificial wings from Origin Energy to fly, though they were slower than his Purple Cloud Wings; fully lifelike wings require at least Qi Creation Realm strength. 82
• Arrays may bind targets through Origin Energy. The Yin Puppet Sect’s Talisman Puppet Gathering Array formed a cage powerful enough that even peak Qi Creation Realm experts would struggle to damage it. 120

Formations and artifacts

• A rune inscribed with Spiritual Power can be empowered by Origin Energy. Jia Lie Jun used this combination to split a wooden table with a rune-bearing sword. 7
• The Spirit Gathering Cushion activates only when Origin Energy and Spiritual Power are supplied in balance, revealing a small internal formation. 100
• The Universe Ancient Formation expands when fed Origin Energy from heaven and earth. 233 234
• Origin Energy may be channeled through the Devouring Ancestral Talisman’s trial, where Jia Lie Jun condensed it into an enormous finger attack against a devouring vortex. 142

Recovery and refinement

• Dense Origin Energy can rapidly replenish a depleted cultivator. Jia Lie Jun recovered his strength after absorbing a large quantity in the Ancient Tablet Space. 113
• The Devouring Ancestral Talisman dramatically accelerates absorption by creating black holes that consume incoming Origin Energy. 324
• Origin Energy can be used to suppress and compress other volatile energies during refinement, including the Green Lotus Core Flame within Jia Lie Jun’s meridians. 48

Limitations

• A cultivator must possess compatible internal energy before absorbing Origin Energy; a body still storing Dou Qi cannot automatically make use of it. 48
• Powerful seals can obstruct its circulation. Qing Ye’s Earth Emperor God Sealing Seal slowed Jia Lie Jun’s Origin Energy until he broke free with Heavenly Dragon Qi. 338
• Maintaining balance with Spiritual Power for fusion is difficult even for an experienced dual cultivator. 100
• Massive Origin Energy pressure can damage the body or restrict movement, as seen within the Talisman Puppet Gathering Array and the Pill River. 120 299
