The rise and fall of a medium-sized race.
"If I remember correctly, during that period, both the Human and Demonic races had only one qi refinement master each."
"Nine qi refinement masters would have been absolute main forces in the ancient end war."
When it came to qi refinement masters, Ink Plum's face was filled with longing.
There are many methods for extending life in the cultivating immortality world, at least for high-level cultivators. The higher the cultivation level, the closer one's lifespan is to the limit of lifespan.
The so-called lifespan limit refers to the Primordial Spirit's lifespan.
The qi refinement stage has a lifespan of one hundred and twenty years, the foundation establishment stage three hundred years, the golden core stage eight hundred years, and the nascent soul stage one thousand eight hundred years.
As for the divine transformation realm, the lifespan of the Primordial Spirit is as long as five thousand years.
Regarding the higher void refinement realm, the lifespan limit is shockingly over ten thousand years!
Golden core and nascent soul cultivators might also suffer from injuries or other reasons that lead to their lifespans being prematurely cut short!
However, once the Primordial Spirit is condensed, they can generally live to the limit of their lifespan.
Because, in the divine transformation realm, the essence of life has been completely sublimated, belonging to a higher-dimensional life form, the Primordial Spirit begins to possess a hint of "immortality."
At this level, physical injuries are no longer significant, and general Primordial Spirit damage can be quickly recovered in the Primordial Spirit's perspective.
One can observe concepts directly during their cultivation.
Transferring through any space can be as simple as eating or drinking.
Although they cannot resist the erosion of time, according to certain theories from Liu Yu's past life, to some extent, they can already be considered "higher-dimensional life."
As for qi refinement level Primordial Spirits, even these nascent soul cultivators find it hard to fathom!
With lifespans measured in tens of thousands of years and the power to destroy the world, Ink Plum was indeed correct in imagining that a dominant race with nine qi refinement existences would surely be a main force in the ancient end war.
"Nine pieces of 'Silver Seal Script'?!"
Upon hearing their words, a fleeting glimmer appeared in Liu Yu's eyes.
Although they were all at the nascent soul stage, their souls and spiritual perception were evidently not comparable to his. In addition to the nine "great suns," he also discovered a tenth rune!
Like the rune that symbolizes the nine qi refinement existences, the tenth Silver Seal Script also carried some information.
The moment Liu Yu "saw" it, he understood the information contained within.
This Silver Seal Script contained much richer information, but it did not symbolize a certain qi refinement master; rather, it included some basic data about that race.
From the understood information, Liu Yu learned that this race, which had disappeared from the long course of history, was called the "Spirit Clan"!
Everything has a spirit; all beings that do not reproduce through natural means, but come into existence naturally in the world, can be considered part of the Spirit Clan.
For example, a flame that develops spiritual properties after being nourished by spiritual energy in a unique environment over a long time, and gains wisdom, can be regarded as a member of the Spirit Clan.
A wisp of breeze, a stone, a drop of clear water—any life born from the natural world is welcomed by the Spirit Clan if it wishes to join.
Within the Spirit Clan, there are significant disparities in strength.
For instance, those whose essence is purely wind, rain, thunder, and lightning, as well as various elemental transformations, are born with fourth-stage power, equivalent to the nascent soul cultivators of the Human Race and the fourth-order demonic kings of the Demonic race.
