In ancient times before Heaven and Earth were divided, it was the perfect environment for those cultivating the Immortal Path or pursuing Taoism. After all, there was no divide between the mortal realm and the Cultivation World then, and all the Qi of Heaven and Earth could be used by people.

Since then, Spirit Qi Masters gradually replaced cultivators, and Taoists started on their journey of Taoism, giving up on the pure Immortal Qi.
