Ghosts are originally beings of the Netherworld. However, with the loss of a true Place of Life, Death, and Reincarnation, they have become formless spirits, their comings and goings difficult to discern.
Generally, there are three types of ghosts.
The first type is formed from the accumulation of yin qi and Dense Qi. Amidst their ignorance, a Primordial Spirit awakens. By nature, they are like Fierce Fiends who hunger for blood and qi, no different from beasts of the wild.
The second type includes Mortals and Cultivators who have reached the end of their lifespan or whose Furnace Cauldrons have been destroyed. They do not have the five-generation grace of a Foundation Establishment True Master that would allow them to reincarnate. Unwilling to simply pass into oblivion, they seek an alternative path to the Dao. They achieve this by absorbing murky yin Spiritual Energy, thereby degenerating into ghostly beings.
