Wuxia World

The spiritual cycle is the spiritual path that a person follows from birth.
You knew this in being born, living, dying, purification and being born.
When a person dies, their personal spirit travels to the spirit realm where it remains to achieve peace and subsequently for its spirit to be purified.
Once his spirit is purified, the spirit realm itself guides him so that the spirit can be reborn in his next life.
In some cases, another spirit may also be part of this cycle, purifying itself and being taken to its next life.

These are people who have trained to master a martial art and one or more styles of it at a high level.
This is a title that few achieve because of how laborious it is, but achieving this title is the greatest of honors.
These are also responsible for guiding and training others on the path of martial arts.
These teachers often choose students based on their own criteria and consideration to be their main students, which is a great honor.

This is the world where spirits live, a plane separate from our own.
All spirits dwell in it, but they have the freedom to leave it and come to our world.
Mortals cannot enter the spirit realm through conventional methods.
This is also called the realm of the dead, as this is where a person's spirit arrives upon death.

Spirits are spiritual beings that have a close relationship with Chi.
There are multiple spirits which are grouped into different types.
the personal spirit: it is the spirit and soul of a person.
beast spirit: they are the spirit and soul of a beast, creature or animal.
nature spirit: these are spirits born from nature itself, the name of these spirits is closely related to that from which they were born.
Object spirit: These are spirits born from objects that accumulated chi and reacted to the spirit of a person; the name of these spirits is related to the object and the person from whom they were born.
Holy spirit: These are spirits of great power born in the spiritual realm. In our world, they are guardians and protectors, and are therefore venerated, respected, and praised by many. They have a proper name which they keep hidden and only use an epithet.
family spirit: These are spirits born within a family to protect, guide, and ensure the well-being of its members. The name of this spirit is related to the family name, and they only reveal themselves to the family in life-or-death situations.

These are objects that hold great power, possessing different skills, properties, and capabilities.
These objects are rare; they are seadps due to their power.
For the most part, these are ancient objects, centuries old, but that doesn't prevent a person from creating a new one, which is a great feat.
These objects have a name, the name follows a structure, being the name of the object and what it is known for, for example: san-fen rock of the battle of Shen-fen.

The techniques are just that, techniques and movements from the different martial arts.
Each technique is part of the identity of the martial art, as well as the style of the martial art.
Each technique has its own name which is indicative of its individual identity and as part of something larger.
The techniques are varied, with an endless number of them.
The techniques are divided into several types.
common: which are the techniques of a specific martial art.
of style: which are techniques of a specific style of a martial art.
chi technique: these are techniques which are capable of using chi.
Ki techniques: These are techniques capable of using Ki.

In the world there are all kinds of creatures and animals, but among them there are species which stand out from the norm, these being the mystical creatures.
These possess extraordinary power, skills, and abilities thanks to their mystical nature.
There is a great variety of these creatures, but they are very difficult to see and find, being so elusive that they are practically beings of legend.

The mystical arts are, in short, magic which uses Zen as the source of its power.
These mystical arts are not all the same, as there is a great variety of mystical arts which have different styles and different approaches.
These are used by only a few because they are difficult to learn and use, especially if they are not learned from childhood.
But despite the fact that these require training, there are people who are naturally able to use a little of these in an innate, passive way and without great results.

Zen is a mystical energy which is found all over the world but unlike Chi or Ki it does not reside within anything.
This energy can also be found in certain points in a high concentration.
This energy is practically power, since it is an unparalleled energy capable of empowering whoever manages to master it.
Very little is known about Zen due to its very nature, which is why Zen is mostly a mystery.

Ki is the energy of nature, the energy of life itself; this is different from chi because Ki is more earthly, since it originates from life itself.
This is an energy which is quite adaptable and malleable, like life itself.
This is an easy-to-use energy with the proper training, allowing the person to use Ki in their own way and obtain the desired result.
A person's Ki can increase exponentially the more they train, but in critical moments it can grow enormously.

Chi is a mystical energy which is born from the spiritual energy of the world within all living things.
This energy is unique because, being within all living things, it holds their essence, which is why the Chi of each being is unique and different.
Chi can be channeled, either into oneself or towards others.
When you learn to use chi, what a person can do is impressive.
Not everyone can control chi, as it requires training through different stages: first, where it is used raw as it simply comes out; second, where it is used at will; and third, where chi is mastered.
Very few people are able to use chi as it requires years of long training and understanding of chi.
For those who can already control it, chi can increase its power, making the spirit appear greatly enhanced.

Martial arts exist all over the world, but they are not just fighting styles; they are also an important part of cultural essence.
Since martial arts are found all over the world, different cultures have connected martial arts to their culture.
Each culture has its own way of viewing martial arts and connecting them to its culture, given that they are important because they are so deeply rooted in the culture.

Martial arts, besides being varied and having different approaches, are a mere form of combat, which is why each martial art can in turn be divided into different styles.
Each martial art can have several styles, these having different approaches to using the martial art.
Each style has a name which is a reflection of its own identity as a unique style.
Styles are grouped into different categories which group styles with certain characteristics in common.
Beast style: styles based on different beasts and animals.
warrior style: styles created by a specific person focused on representing their own style.
nature style: styles based on different aspects and phenomena of nature.
spiritual style: styles based on the spirit of different things.
Conceptual style: styles based on a specific concept.
martial school style: These are styles specific to a martial school that are used to represent that particular school.
Each style has its own name which reveals its root and nature.
In the case of a martial arts school style, the name of the style is the name of the school.

Martial arts are just that, fighting arts and sparring.
There are hundreds and thousands of martial arts of all kinds, with all kinds of origins, all kinds of purposes, coming from all kinds of places and with all kinds of approaches.
Martial arts are not all the same, as each one is unique and each one is its own martial style.
Different martial arts have different approaches.

The world is large and vast, having all kinds of places explored and yet to be explored, which is why the world is divided into Regions.
The regions are of all sizes, and they contain environments, biomes, and landscapes of all kinds.
Each region has its own name, which is another symbol of its unique identity.
Within each region there can be multiple nations, empires, kingdoms, countries and so on, since the regions are immense and vast.
Although regions may seem similar, no two regions are the same.

This world possesses great size, vastness, and riches of all kinds.
In this world there are all kinds of cultures, societies, civilizations, nations and all kinds of places.
In this world there are all kinds of beings of mystical nature which are as impressive as they are powerful.
There are multiple mystical energies in the world which are capable of granting power.
One of the most culturally important things is martial arts and everything that this entails, since throughout the world different martial arts are a symbol of different things.
