Immortals and Ghosts
Immortals were imaginary or semi-imaginary figures that gradually materialized with the concept of immortality of the soul. Taoist believers believed that they were people who cultivated, transcended the world, changed their magical powers, and lived forever. In Chinese culture, immortals originated from the fear of human beings towards natural phenomena. They were believed to have various magical abilities, such as immortality, transcendence, and supernatural powers. They had a certain influence on many aspects of China, such as political thinking, philosophy, religion, literature, and art. Different classes had different needs for immortals. Nobles prayed for longevity to enjoy glory and wealth, while the lower class people longed for immortals to uphold justice and help the poor. In China culture, ghosts usually referred to the souls of people after death. The concept of ghosts was related to death and the netherworld. They were often regarded as supernatural existences. Unlike immortals, ghosts did not have the supernatural powers, immortality, and otherworldly characteristics of immortals. Ghosts were more associated with death, sacrifice, ancestor worship, and some terrifying or mysterious elements in folklore. For example, in some folktales, ghosts could affect the living. Some ghosts were described as vengeful spirits, while others were souls waiting to be reincarnated. At the same time, in the immortal system of Taoism and other religions, there were also gods who managed ghosts, such as the Emperor of Fengdu and the Ten Kings of Hell. These gods were responsible for matters related to ghosts, such as judging the good and evil of ghosts, deciding their reincarnation or punishment, etc. This also reflected the hierarchical relationship between immortals and ghosts in the religious mythological system.

Ghosts and Ghost Immortals
In the Taoist concept, ghost immortals were immortals who cultivated good virtue, detached from the Yin, escaped from the sea of suffering, and their names were not recorded in the ghost pass. However, they could not avoid reincarnation. They were one of the five Taoist immortals in Zhong Lu's Collection of Daoism, also known as ghosts. Ghost Immortals were immortals whose souls would not die after they died. They could live in the world of ghosts after nine years of cultivation. For example, local gods, local gods, mountain gods, water gods, city gods, and other immortals at the basic level of the immortal world belonged to the category of ghost immortals. Ghosts were a supernatural concept. They were usually considered to be the souls or spirits of the dead. They had not gone through the process of cultivation and transcendence like the ghost immortals. There was an essential difference between ghost immortals and ghosts.

Are immortals and ghosts aliens?
According to the education we received, there are no immortals or ghosts in the world. However, there was a theory that immortals could be aliens. Ancient humans saw aliens with extraordinary abilities (such as flying in the air with anti-gravity devices like flying saucers). Due to their limited knowledge at that time, they called them gods. The high-tech equipment carried by these aliens made them seem to have infinite power and extraordinary abilities. The ancients thus imagined that there were groups of immortals living in the Heavenly Court, which led to myths and legends. But for ghosts, there was no evidence to prove that they were related to aliens. Ghosts were usually thought to be fictional images related to the concepts of death and the underworld in myths and legends or folk beliefs. They were mainly used to explain some supernatural phenomena or to reflect people's awe and imagination of death. However, the existence of aliens was still a mystery. Although there were many so-called sightings, most of them were isolated and there was no conclusive evidence. "I Work for Ghost Spirits in the World of Cultivators" is equally exciting.

From low to high, ghost cultivators were divided into the levels of Dead Soul, Wandering Ghost, Ghost Soldier, Ghost Master, Ghost General, Lord Yin, Nether King, and Ghost Immortal. For example, in some immortal cultivation settings, ghost cultivators could rely on their own abilities or special opportunities to participate in some tests. For example, in the setting of the Heavenly Dao Game, those who failed to transcend the tribulation were dragged into the game as ghost cultivators to participate in the test to ascend.
