The difference between becoming a spirit and becoming an immortal

Answer 1

In the mythological system, there were the following differences between becoming a spirit and becoming an immortal:

** 1. Cultivation Level and Realm **
1. ** Become a spirit **
- The primary stage of animal and plant cultivation was to become a spirit. Generally speaking, animals and plants could become spirits after 100 years of cultivation. At this time, they had a certain degree of spirituality and the ability to change, but their form and ability were relatively limited. For example, in some legends, after an animal became a spirit, it might only be able to change its appearance or have some small spells, such as being able to confuse people within a certain range.
- After becoming a spirit, the existence form was often half-beast, half-human, or retained more of its original characteristics. For example, the legendary fox spirit might have some human-like behavior or intelligence based on the appearance of a fox.
2. ** Becoming Immortal **
- This was the result of a higher level of cultivation. Animals and plants needed to cultivate for 500 years to become monsters. After another 500 years, that was a total of 1000 years before they could become demons and become immortals. For humans, as they were regarded as the primate of all living things, the time required to cultivate to become an immortal was relatively short compared to animals and plants. The humans of the Lingzhi Sect could become an immortal after cultivating for a few decades.
- Becoming an immortal meant that one had reached a higher realm, possessing powerful divine arts and extraordinary abilities. In terms of form, one could completely transform into a human, or even be more elegant and charming than a human. Moreover, in terms of abilities, one could surpass the limitations of ordinary creatures, such as being able to summon the wind and rain, be immortal, and roam freely between heaven and earth.

** 2. Essence and Attributes **
1. ** Become a spirit **
- A person who became a spirit was often closely related to their original species attributes. For example, animals might retain their animal habits and instincts after becoming a spirit. For example, weasels might also have the cunning and timid characteristics of weasels after becoming a spirit. A plant's spirituality might be related to its growing environment and its own plant characteristics. For example, a pine tree's spirituality might be related to its longevity, tenacity, and other characteristics.
- Those who became spirits were not as strict in terms of morality and behavior as those who became immortals. Some spiritual monsters might do things that were not beneficial to other creatures for their own interests. For example, in folklore, some spiritual monsters would tease humans or rob them of their property.
2. ** Becoming Immortal **
- Becoming an immortal was a more sacred transformation. Immortals were often seen as the embodiment of justice, morality, and wisdom. They had to follow certain immortal rules and moral standards, such as being merciful and saving people.
- In the mythological system, immortals had clear levels and duties. Some were in charge of astronomical phenomena, some were in charge of the welfare of the people, and so on. Their existence was more of a way to maintain and promote the order of heaven and earth.
