Martial Spirit

## **Introduction**

The Canglan Continent, a place full of Martial artists was fettered by a natural law which stated that only person possessing Martial Spirit can interact with heaven and earth spiritual qi and result in cultivation. The people with higher grade Martial Spirit will find it easier to absorb and gather Qi while lower grades find it more difficult. Hence, the rule was made that people with higher grade martial spirit have high potential and are known as geniuses while with lower grade have lower potential. The Martial Spirits are categorised by four ranks.

The first and worst rank is the **Huang Grade** Martial Spirit. The Huang Grade Martial Spirits were the common grade Martial Spirit for the cultivators in the Lower District of the Canglan Continent.

The second rank is the **Xuan Grade** Martial spirit, the cultivators who awakened a Xuan Grade Martial Spirit, were in the Lower District, called Geniuses.

The third rank is the **Di Grade** Martial Spirits, these could only be found in the Upper District, with the exception of Qin Nan, whose Martial Spirit can evolve, by gathering the energy of pills or stones. Cultivators who awakens a Di Grade Martial Spirit or change their Martial Spirit to Di Grade is in the Upper Districts called geniuses.

The fourth and final Martial Spirit rank is the **Tian Grade** Martial Spirit, these Martial Spirits are are and only the best geniuses have a Tian Grade Martial Spirit. The Tian Grade Martial Spirit is only seen in the Central Continent, where the cultivators with a high ranking Tian Grade Martial Spirit(7-10th grade) are located in the Half-God Continent.

### **Exceptions**

Thousands of years ago, the heaven defying genius Empress Fei Yue, broke this fetter and created her own law, she discarded her Martial Spirit and created a cultivation technique that was able to break the law. Eventually she was able to achieve Martial God Realm, and after a great war, leaving Canglan Continent behind and going to the higher realm, Nine Heavens, eventually becoming an empress and creating an army of numerous immortals.

### **Altering Destiny**

Altering your destiny is the only way, to improve your Martial Spirit. A high ranking altering destiny chance only rarely appear. Altering Destiny encounters, are often the succesions from a high ranked cultivator in the past, who choose their succesor through trials, and passes their Martial Spirit to them.

### **Monarch and God Ranking**

Monarch and God Ranking were primordial beings born from the primary force of the Canglan continent tens of thousands of years ago. After they gained sentience they started monopolising the primary monarch and god force, and altered the rules of the Canglan Continent introducing the Martial Spirit, and removed the tribulation to ascend to Nine Heavens. A few thousand of years after, the South Heaven Gate suddenly appeared, and were far stronger than any other being on the Canglan Continent, it along with Monarch and God Ranking monopolised the primary force of Canglan Continent.

### **After the destruction of Monarch and God Ranking**

After the battle of South Heaven Sacred Ground, in which the Monarch and God Ranking were killed, the rules of the Canglan Continent returns as they were before, removing the Martial Spirit, and the need for it.
