Beings

These are mostly humans, although they may intersect with other kinds of beings, especially yaojing and mythic creatures!

Besides mortals, many mythic creatures reside in the lands of Yuzhu. Dragons and phoenixes are also considered mythic creatures.

A general term to refer to all strange, supernatural creatures. May be used as the name for the creature itself, but there are more specific categories of Gui and Yaojing.

Those who die and go to the Land of the Shade become gui. However, gui who cannot pass into the afterlife often cause trouble in the Mortal Realm. The longer that these gui are unable to move on, the more desperate and possibly destructive they become.

Yaojing emerge from animals or natural yet inanimate objects that awaken to their qi. These spirits desire to cultivate into becoming humans or even gods. As they cultivate more, they will be able to shapeshift into a humanoid form and even assume that form as their main one.

The most formidable of enemies. Mo (魔) are any powerful and sentient being corrupted by substantial selfish desires. They therefore present a grave danger to anyone who crosses them. Additionally, they often use forbidden methods of cultivating and/or immense physical prowess.
