Spirit World

Forest God is from here. Long Chen and Meng Qi travel here in Volume 6. They travel there again in Volume 8.
The Spirit Race people that inhabit the Spirit World were once allies with the humans. However, after the tree demons invaded the Spirit World, various sects of the Martial Heaven Alliance framed the Spirit Race for betraying the human race. Pill Valley then manipulated the public opinion and distorted the history books to make the spirit race look bad when in reality the Pill Valley was clandestinely doing dirty business with the tree demons behind the scenes. 
The Pill Valley's goal was to collude with the tree demons and various other allied sects to colonize the spirit world and reap profit from the spirit world resources. However, Long Chen helps the Spirit Race destroy and expel the tree demons, thereby thwarting the Pill Valley's imperial ambitions, preventing the tentacles of their empire from infecting the Spirit World.
== Description ==
The Spirit World is filled with countless ancient Magical Beasts. Those Magical Beasts mostly possess pure bloodlines that give them limitless potential and great power. Shui Yuncong said that Meng Qi has vast Spiritual Strength, but recommends her to travel there to fetch a good Magical Beast. Otherwise, for a soul cultivator like her to enter the Immemorial Path would be extremely dangerous. Shui gives LC the World Piercing Jade Talisman to travel there.
== Taxonomy ==
== Story ==
* Spirit World is the first external world Long Chen saw in Volume 1 when Forest God went to her planet.
* It was half occupied by Forest of Darkness until Long Chen killed them with his Black Soil and the help of Forest of Life, which occurred during the Spirit World Great War
* It houses Spirit Race as its main member.
=== Portal ===
The Heaven Devouring Forest's tree demons had suddenly left this world, leaving behind a huge spatial portal.
That portal led to the Spirit World. Rumor said that the Spirit World possessed countless treasures. Divine springs littered the ground, and just drinking a mouthful of its water could extend a person's longevity by hundreds of years. The continent was rocked.
Experts wanted to go adventuring, but this news came too suddenly. It had to be known that the Heaven Devouring Forest was one of the seven great forbidden zones. The lifeforms of the forest were even more terrifying than Magical Beasts. People suspected that it was a trap.
However, there was no lack of people who wanted to go on adventures. Some experts finally couldn't help going. The first person was a Life Star expert, and he was instantly rejected by the spatial portal. His physical body exploded, and only his Yuan Spirit escaped.
People immediately realized that Life Star experts could not enter this spatial portal. So a Soul Transformation expert tested his luck. He was also forced back, but because his cultivation base was lower, he only suffered a light backlash.
Finally, Jade Core disciples managed to go through the portal and enter the Spirit World. They entered one by one, but none of them returned.
Yet, some sects still sent some of their disciples to test their luck. Finally, a disciple managed to return alive. He brought back a shocking piece of news: a huge war was being fought in the Spirit World.
This news shook the Central Plains. This was the best chance to dredge up some benefits. The Righteous path, Corrupt path, ancient races, and ancient family alliance sent countless Jade Core geniuses to the spatial portal.
=== Appearance ===
He saw he was standing on top of a mountain. An endless forest stretched beyond the horizon.
It has strong life energy fluctuations.
But this air also contains something evil. For Meng Qi, this was her second trip to the Spirit World. She could sense that this place was different from the last place they had entered from.
=== Trees ===
The trees in front of them blocked out the sun, turning the world dark.
"We were just in the outer region before. Now we've entered the real Spirit World. Guo Ran, keep flying like before. Just charge through directly," said Long Chen.
These trees were so tall that the flying boat couldn't fly above them. The airflow that high would cause huge resistance and greatly impact their speed.
They gave off a feeling similar to Magical Beasts baring their teeth.
The darkness in front of them was endless. The sunlight was completely blocked by the leaves. This was a world of darkness, of deathly silence.
Although these tree demons were low tier, they definitely had to have some intelligence.
=== War and trap ===
"The ancient races and the Corrupt path have very likely come to reinforce the Heaven Devouring Forest," said Long Chen.
From his various tests and the fact that Li Tianxuan had wanted to warn him, as well as Pill Valley's relationship with the Heaven Devouring Forest, Long Chen had come up with a very brazen theory.
The forest divinity he had encountered in the outskirts of the Phoenix Cry Empire had possessed a holy and divine aura. It had been completely different from the berserk and evil aura of these tree demons.
It was likely that the Spirit World possessed two great powers. One was the side of the forest divinity, while the Heaven Devouring Forest represented the other side.
As for the experts that said that a war was being fought in the Spirit World, that was nonsense. It was part of the Corrupt path's scheme. They were trying to draw more adventurers to their deaths.
There had been so many experts guarding the spatial portal. Although they were incredibly weak for the Dragonblood Legion, they could easily slaughter Jade Core disciples.
Most importantly, this situation in the Spirit World was definitely known by Li Tianxuan. His warning was definitely going to be that other sects weren't letting their disciples come because this wasn't a good opportunity, but a sinister trap instead.
They continued flying for two more days, and the huge trees slowly dwindled in number. Replacing the forest was a barren mountain range. The ground had been destroyed, and the scars of battle were still present. A dense scent of blood still hung in the air.
As they continued onward, he realized that this battlefield was even larger than he had thought. The ground below them was stained red with blood, and there were huge skeletons as large as mountains. Their flesh had already vanished, but their skeletons still emitted terrifying auras.
At first, they only appeared occasionally, but as the flying boat advanced, more and more of them appeared. The entire ground became covered with white bones.
"Did we end up coming to hell?" Guo Ran couldn't help muttering as he stared at the white bones covering the bloodstained ground. This scene was truly similar to the hell spoken in legends.
=== Forest of Life and Dark Forest ===
"The Dark Forest has gathered reinforcements from many different powers, inflating their forces. And even before this, just the Dark Forest alone was hard enough to resist. Now, the Spirit race warriors are no longer able to block them, and the battle lines are being forced closer and closer to us. The Forest of Life itself is not able to kill other lifeforms, and being infected by their grievance and resentment is toxic to us. The Spirit race warriors and spirit beasts are the only things we can depend on. But looking at the current situation, there's no hope," sighed the Spirit Emperor. "So thank you for coming here, but we don't want to implicate you. That would just make us feel worse. Throwing away your lives for a hopeless battle isn't worth it."
"Since we've come, we came prepared. Even if we have to die, we will stand beside you. Even if we have to fight to the last man, to the last drop of blood. This is the spirit of the Dragonblood Legion," said Long Chen firmly. These were his principles, and the principles of the Dragonblood Legion.
"But if you help us, you will become the enemies of all the Martial Heaven Continent's powers," warned the Spirit Emperor.
== History ==
"All you bastards, listen well! I'm only going to say this once. The Spirit World's creatures once helped out the Martial Heaven Continent, and we are indebted to them. However, some idiots randomly read some history books and believed them without realizing that history is written by the victors. Those history books are like prostitutes talking about how pure and beautiful they were back in the day. The dirty parts were all covered. Whoever believes that crap is just an idiot. The true history was already lost in the river of time. Of course, you can believe me if you want to, or you can not believe me. But don't talk to me about proof. I have always acted openly. If I do something good, perhaps I might not admit to it, but when I do bad things, I always dare to admit to it. If you want to be enemies with me, then come. Other than having one life and one blade, I also have over twelve thousand life and death brothers. So, fight or fuck off!" (Long Chen)
=== Tree demon invasion ===
Rumor had it that in the immortal era, the Spirit World had had very good relationships with the human race. The Spirit race had powerful life energy skills and had helped the human race countless times against their powerful enemies.
In that battle of the immortal era, in order to help the human race, the Spirit World had lost many of its experts. It had been forced to seal itself off to recover.
Then the dark era came. The Spirit World was also attacked, with foreign tree demons invading. At that time, they still hadn't recovered from their previous losses.
When the dark era ended, the Martial Heaven Continent had been devastated, and the Spirit World had taken disastrous losses. The Dark Forest grew stronger. At first, they only managed to take over a small part of the Spirit World, but now they began to spread.
Other than their powerful tree demons, the Dark Forest also had berserk Magical Beasts. As for the Forest of Life's spirit trees, they couldn't kill other creatures. Only their Spirit race warriors and spirit beasts could fight them.
However, they were unable to stop the advance of the Dark Forest. The Dark Forest's territory grew greater and greater, while the Forest of Life's territory shrank with each passing year.
This was a slow battle. Since the dark era had passed, and the human race had recovered, the Spirit race asked for help.
However, the Sovereigns that had once led the human race heroically had all fallen, and the Martial Heaven Continent had completely changed.
Each person was selfish, and no one came to help the Spirit race. In fact, people began to curse the Spirit race for betraying their trust and not helping the Martial Heaven Continent during the dark era. They thought that the huge losses they had taken were all because of the Spirit race's betrayal.
=== Greed ===
"If they just didn't help us, that would be one thing. But then after having a falling out with us, they began to help the Dark Forest suppress us," said the Spirit Queen sadly.
"It stemmed from greed. Everything in the Forest of Life is filled with life essence. The spirit beasts, the spirit trees, the spirit warriors, all lifeforms within the Forest of Life are treasures in the outside world that can extend a person's lifespan."
As expected. In front of great enticement, humans would also become depraved. Even a saint could become a devil.
Almost all the entire Martial Heaven Continent sides with the Dark Forest. "The Corrupt path, the ancient races, Pill Valley, the Xuan Beasts, they all stood by the side of the Dark Forest. As for the Righteous path, they acted like they didn't see anything. But some sects stealthily sent some people to kill the creatures in the Forest of Life, so the Righteous path also isn't our friend," said the Spirit Queen.
The thing that disappointed him was that whether it was the Xuantian Dao Sect, the Heaven Splitting Battle Sect, the Heavenly Sword Gate, or the Wine God Palace, all these sects he had a close relationship with had all chosen to be silent in the face of the Spirit World's crisis.
Then he supposed that any single sect couldn't become enemies with so many sects. They could only act like they didn't know anything.
At the same time as he was disappointed, he was enraged. If people could abandon the allies that had fought alongside them so easily, were they even worthy of being called cultivators? Was this in order to live a longer but sullen life? If you didn't even dare to do the things you wanted to do, then what was the point of cultivating?
=== Long Chen's support ===
Long Chen swore: "The Dragonblood Legion and I will stand together with you. We will live and die together."
"Are you prepared to become enemies with the entire Martial Heaven Continent?" asked the Spirit Queen.
"If I have to be enemies with them, then fine. In any case, I have plenty of enemies already. I don't mind increasing the scale a bit more." Long Chen smiled.
Wasn't that precisely the case? The ancient races, Corrupt path, and Pill Valley were his mortal enemies. Which one didn't want his life?
As for the Xuan Beasts, as soon as he had accepted Cloud, he had made his preparations to be enemies with them.
To put it bluntly, a dead pig wasn't afraid of boiling water. Since things had already reached this point, he might as well do what he wanted.
=== History written by the victors ===
The Dark Forest tries to twist the truth, accusing the Spirit World of betraying the human race, setting up the spirit race as the enemies of the Martial Heaven Continent, even blaming the death of the Great Emperor on them, saying it is backed up by many history books. However, this was just a ploy of mental warfare.
History is written by the winners, or can be changed according to the requirements of the strong. The true history has long since been lost in the river of time. Arguing about it doesn't have any meaning. I told you all that the current world is one of chaos and disorder. When there's no way to talk reasonably about things, when your convictions clash, the only thing you can do is kill.
=== Victory ===
With the help of Long Chen and the black soil, the tree demons are destroyed and forced out of the Spirit World. The Forest of Life celebrates.
When their ceremony concluded, countless lifeforms of the Forest of Life flew out. Wherever they passed, the ground began to thrive with vitality once more. New vegetation sprouted out all over. There was no more barren land.
"They are sowing the seeds of life. Wherever they go, they spread the blessings of the Life God Tree. In just a few centuries, all of this will be a thriving forest once more. Long Chen, I really don't know how to thank you. The Spirit World that was on the verge of death has now begun to thrive once more. You are the savior of the entire Spirit World," thanked the Spirit Emperor.
The Dark Forest had retreated, and all the spatial channels into this world were closed. The Spirit World finally won some precious breathing room. There was no longer any danger to their safety for now.
If the outside world tried to establish new spatial channels here, it would cause violent fluctuations. The Forest of Life would only have to defend those points and ruin any of their attempts of forming a channel. It would be difficult for their opponents to succeed.
== Leaf channel ==
The Life God gives Long Chen an emerald leaf for communication.
The Spirit Emperor waved her staff, and the head of her staff began to glow like a star.
The light of millions of leaves on the Life God Tree converged into a huge vortex, and it gradually shrank until it became a three-meter-wide channel. As soon as the channel was stable, Long Chen stepped into it, vanishing from the Spirit World.
The scenery in front of him changed. The dense air of life and the sun vanished. Long Chen's vision darkened. He had returned to the Martial Heaven Continent, but it was currently night.
Looking around, he realized the Life God Tree's channel was frighteningly accurate. He was just a few thousand miles from the Xuantian Dao Sect.
==Trivia==
#Dragon Blood Legion underwent their Innate Meditative State here under the guidance of the Life God Tree.
#Long Chen got his Dragon Bone Evil Moon from here.
#Leng Yueyan took away Dark Evil Dragon's blood essence which was also kept for Long Chen
#There was almost no concept of time within the Spirit World
#The powers that had entered the Spirit World all had secret communication methods so that they would be able to assist their own side if they found treasures or encountered powerful enemies.
